Prince William took to the skies over the Falkland Islands today on his first sortie as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot. William arrived on the archipelago this week amid escalating tensions between Britain and Argentina over the disputed region. The pilot prince has been branded a 'pirate prince' by protestors - but William would have been concentrating on closer-to-hand issues as he prepared for his first exercise. Today's images also show the 29-year-old prince consulting maps with a colleague in a squadron operations room. William, who in the RAF is called Flt Lt Wales, will provide search and...

Just hours before, she joined her husband for a Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace with the Queen. But it was just the young royal set at the Sun Military Awards tonight.

Kate's black Alexander McQueen gown - the same designer as her wedding dress - had frill trim around...

Off with their hats! It was bigger than the Super Bowl and as tacky as a legion of Elvis impersonators. Most of all, it was disturbingly white. Yesterday's little wedding of William and Kate, a worldwide showcase of dreadful hats, fad diets and an unusually sour, lemon-yellow-clad queen, was designed to prove to the common man that the royals, finally, were down with the people. But from the moment a triumphant Kate tiptoed with her dad onto the red carpet -- yes, she walked an actual red carpet to and from the altar -- I saw not a potential queen....

When William F. Buckley met Saul Alinsky, one of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s biggest influences. Unfortunately, only five minutes of this December 1967 edition of Buckley’s seminal Firing Line program is online the above clip, but you can read a transcript of the entire interview at the Hoover Institute, or buy a DVD of the program for ten bucks from Amazon. At one point, Buckley describes Alinsky’s philosophy: Look, this is a program of things we want, if you don’t give it to us, we’re going to make it impossible for Chicago to continue commercial or civic life at...

Quick vanity question: I know that royals do not technically have last names but descendants of George VI not in the royal line go by Windsor, descendants of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, by the name Montbatten-Windsor. However William, Harry, Beatrice, and Eugenie have all elected to use their House names, Wales and York respectively. Now however, William is head of his own house, that of Cambridge. So how did William sign the wedding register? William Wales, Windsor, Montbatten-Windsor, or Cambridge? It would be interesting to see if he changes the name on his flight suit to Cambridge.

We sat down at 9.30am and watched the whole thing until THE KISS four hours later. Didn’t intend to. At my age this history/politics junkie tends towards the cynical and, of course, being a man prefers to maintain a cool mask of disdain while the ladies wax lyrical over weddings and babies. Plus I’m always suspicious of crowds. But the sheer enthusiasm and goodwill of the people who came to watch disarmed my pessimism.
