Kate Middleton treated Prince William to a high-octane 'sea doughnut' ride for his 30th birthday, which saw him pulled behind a speed boat in a rubber ring, according to reports.




READ: THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY GIFT TO PRINCE WILLIAM

Clearly faced with a difficult dilemma (what do you buy the man who has everything?) the Duchess of Cambridge booked her hubby a light-hearted treat, which he enjoyed in Anglesey last week.

According to the Telegraph, the Prince 'roared with laughter' as he was carted off at high speeds behind the boat off the Welsh coast, and returned 'soaked to the skin' after his sea-faring experience.

'For most 30-year-olds who have just inherited £10 million, the last thing they would want to do is freeze themselves on a wet weekend in Wales,' one royal insider told the Sun. 'But this is typical of William."

It's thought Prince William's birthday escapade was watched by wife Kate Middleton, and a 12-strong party of friends and family, which included Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton, as well as Prince William's oldest pals Thomas van Straubenzee, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and David Jardine Paterson and Guy Pelly.

Afterwards, it's thought the group returned toWilliam and Kate'sremote Angelsey home, for a quiet dinner and drinks.

Clarence House refused to confirm the exact nature of Prince William's birthday celebrations, simply commenting: 'He’ll be spending it in a low-key, private fashion'.

Yesterday it was revealed the Queen gave Prince William a cottage on her favourite Sandringham for his landmark birthday, while Kate Middleton is reported to have given him a Nicky Phillips portrait of herself, costing £25,000.

Allen’s ‘Midnight In Paris’ to open Cannes film festival

London, Feb 3 – Holywood filmmaker Woody Allen’s romantic comedy ‘Midnight in Paris’ is set to open the 64th Cannes film festival starting May 11. 

The romantic comedy, which stars Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard and a cameo from France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, will be the focus film of the opening night at the French festival on May 11.

It will premiere at the Lumiere theatre and will also be released in France on the same day.

Festival director Thierry Fremaux said the movie was chosen because it is a ‘love letter’ to the French capital.
”Midnight in Paris’ is a wonderful love letter to Paris. It’s a film in which Woody Allen takes a deeper look at the issues raised in his last films; our relationship with history, art, pleasure and life. His 41st feature reveals once again his inspiration,’ contactmusic.com quoted Fremaux as saying.

Allen previously revealed the movie would be a celebration of Paris.

‘The film celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better,’ Allen said in a statement.

The festival will end May 22.
