Picture Gallery: Kate Middleton and Prince William have rare PDA at the 2012 Olympics

What do you think of Kate Middleton and Prince William's efforts to support Team GB during London 2012? Do you think they're doing a good job? How are you finding the Olympics so far? Let us know in the comment box below...

Kate Middleton, Prince Harry And Prince William Get Ready For The Olympics

Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry are definitely ready to cheer on Team GB at London 2012, planning each and every single event they want to attend after the Olympics begin in Britain on Friday.

Kate Middleton, famed for being a royal fashionista, is expected to head along to watch the women's team play. After all, the Duchess was a keen hockey player herself during her schooldays at Marlborough College.

She will also join her husband Prince William in cheering on Andy Murray in the tennis events - fingers crossed there are no tears this time around!

Prince Harry, on the other hand, is rumoured to be heading along to watch the beach volleyball event at the Horse Guards Parade.

Oh OF COURSE he will be - bikini clad competitors are sure to get the cheeky redhead's attention, after all.

Prince Harry is also expected to watch Usain Bolt do his thing, after meeting (and racing against) the Jamaican sprinterafter his recent overseas Diamond Jubilee tour to Brazil and the Caribbean.

Unlike his cheeky brother, Prince William will PROBABLY steer clear of the beach volleyball (probably) and stick to the water polo, being as he used to play the sport during his university days.

It seems as if the fab threesome are the ultimate Team GB supporters, doesn't it?

The trio are set to welcome the Olympic Torch relay to Buckingham Palace on Thursday, the day before the Games’s opening ceremony, so we're expecting a serious fashion moment from Kate as she flies the flag for British fashion before the whole world.

A royal aide explained to the Telegraph that the royal faves have been looking forward to the Olympics ever since it was announced that london would be hosting the 2012 games:

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry have been tremendously excited about the Olympics for a long time and want to throw themselves in to the Games and help out as much as they can."

“They will be out and about for much of the two weeks, but as well as watching the sports and meeting many of the athletes and visiting dignitaries, they hope to meet a whole cross-section of people, from volunteers to cooks in the Olympic village, who will make the Games a success.”

We can't wait to see the Royals strut their stuff at London 2012.

Kate Middleon and Prince William have £1M midas touch

The astonishing figure far exceeded the organisers’ hopes to raise about $650,000, or £420,000

Kate and husband Prince William helped to raise more than £1million in just six hours during their American tour last year.

The astonishing figure far exceeded the organisers’ hopes to raise about $650,000, or £420,000.

Celebrities including actors Billy Zane and Jennifer Love Hewitt paid thousands to rub shoulders with the young Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Santa Barbara Polo Club in California.

The £1.1million raised over the course of an afternoon is one of the most lucrative charity initiatives by the Royal Family.

Just under £1million has gone to the UK charitable foundation set up by Prince William and Prince Harry, based at St James’s Palace.

The remainder went towards the polo club’s training centre, which runs events for underprivileged local children.

Ambassador Glen Holden, a trustee of the club who helped to organise the event, said: “I am extremely proud of what we did. It was a wonderful event.

“We were proud to have the royal couple at the club and for them to do such work for a good cause and raise such goodwill for England and America.

“Everyone that interacted with the Duke and Duchess thought they were so thoughtful, caring and welcoming. They did a marvellous job and these charities are charities that Americans are very much in favour of.” Holden was the linchpin in bringing William and Kate to the club during their whirlwind 24-hour visit to the US after their tour of Canada.

The club hopes that William or brother Harry may return and make the sports event a “biannual or regular event”.

Co-organiser Geannie Sheller said: “That is something we would like to see. It has been talked about.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William's secret Scottish breaks

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been sneaking off on secret romantic breaks to Anstruther in Scotland, according to reports.

Insiders sayWilliam and Kate, who have been busy on a whirlwind of official engagements in recent weeks, have fond memories of the Scottish town, after visiting it many times when they were first dating.

'They were always spending time together, going down to Anstruther (a town in Fife) to go banana boating or playing golf or going for a walk,' close friend Jules Knight recently told OK! of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's courtship at St Andrews university.

Now the besotted pair love nothing more than returning to the special place when they need a quiet escape from their busy lives in London.

It's thought William and Kate, who were on top form when they visited Edinburgh last week in their Scottish guises as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn, also enjoy staying at Balmoral, the Queen's official estate in Scotland,

Yesterday Kate Middleton and Prince William were reportedly been left fuming, after an Australian magazine published private pictures of their honeymoon.

Monthly title Woman's Day made the controversial decision to publish the 'world exclusive' photos of Kate and William's honeymoon, taken on the beach during their trip to the Seychelles last May.

But yesterday a St. James’ Palace spokesperson said: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s honeymoon was obviously a private occasion, and we would ask people to respect their privacy.'

Kate Middleton and Prince William furious over honeymoon photos leak

Kate Middleton and Prince William have reportedly been left fuming, after an Australian magazine published private pictures of their honeymoon.

It's thought monthly title Woman's Day made the controversial decision to publish the 'world exclusive' photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, taken on the beach during their private honeymoon in the Seychelles last May.

It's not yet known how the publication obtained the pictures, reported to show Prince William in colourful board shorts and Kate Middleton in a black bikini.

Today a St. James’ Palace spokesperson told news site Celebuzz: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s honeymoon was obviously a private occasion, and we would ask people to respect their privacy.'

Prince William and Kate Middleton jetted off for some R&R at the exclusive Seychelles North Island destination in May last year, with rumours suggesting that not even Kate knew where William was whisking her away to, and that he planned the entire trip as a surprise.

On their return, the relaxed newlyweds thanked Seychelles officials for 'a memorable and special 10 days,' revealing they 'thoroughly enjoyed their time together' on the island.

It's thought several newspapers knew the fiercely guarded secret location of William and Kate's honeymoon before they jetted off, but chose to not to send photographers after the royal couple's requests for privacy.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Enjoy Wimbledon Before Knighthood Festivities

Prince William and Kate Middleton gave tennis fans a thrill this week when they took in a match at Wimbledon, looking as stylish as ever.

The dashing duo, who was on hand for day nine of the renowned tennis tournament in London Wednesday, reportedly received a loud ovation from the crowd as they took their seats inside of the Royal Box.

Kate looked stunning, donning an Alexander McQueen white cable-knit dress for the occasion, while Prince William opted for a conservative navy suit. 

And just a day later, the royal pair was out and about again, arriving in Edinburgh, Scotland for Prince William's Thistle Ceremony Thursday at St. Giles Cathedral, where he was installed into the historic Order of the Thistle and dubbed a Knight.

The Duke of Cambridge received the title from his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II—the highest honor she can bestow in Scotland.

While the Duke of Cambridge was suited up in traditional grab for the affair, Kate wowed in a yellow Emilia Wickstead coat dress.

The Order of the Thistle honors men and women who have held public office or contributed to the country in a significant way, according to the British Monarchy's website.

Awkward! Kate Middleton and Prince William face four ex-loves at friend's wedding

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge faced the situation at the wedding of their friends Alice St John Webster and Gerald Alvenel.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge faced a bit of on awkward situation at the weekend, as they attended the wedding of an old school friend of Kate’s.

We’ve all been there when we’ve bumped into an ex-partner at some social occasion or another.

But poor Kate and Wills had to contend with seeing no less than four of their former boyfriends and girlfriends as they attended the nuptials of Kate’s Marlborough College school friend Alice St John Webster and Gerald Alvenel.

Among the 300 well-connected friends was Willem Marx, Kate’s high school love, as well as one man we’re pretty sure William might have felt slightly strange around - Henry Ropner, whom the Duchess is believed to have dated after briefly splitting from Prince in 2007.

Popping up from William’s past was his former flame Rose Farquhar, whom the prince dated after leaving Eton College in 2000, as well as Olivia Hunt, one of the ladies he wooed before meeting and falling in love with Kate at St Andrews University.

For anyone else this would no doubt be a nightmare situation, but cool and calm as ever, Kate and Wills apparently shrugged off any uncomfortable feelings and plastered big smiles on their faces.

Looking stylish as ever, Kate wore a summery pink floral £490 silk dress by London-based brand Beulah, which she teamed up with the white-crea Jane Corbett hat she wore for the Order of the Garter service last month. The outfit was finished off with her trusty nude heels, which have become a staple in the Duchess’s wardrobe over the last 12 months.

Kate’s little sister Pippa, 28, was also at the wedding and wore a pink and black Alice Temperley dress which set her back £380. The party planner, who is rumoured to be moving to New York shortly, teamed the dress up with a large black hat and black heels.

'I didn't marry into royalty to schlep around in a taxi': Kate is branded a gold-digger in bizarre promotional video for Chinese city

The Duchess of Cambridge has been portrayed as a gold-digger in a promotional video made by Chinese tourism executives.

In the bizarre advertisement - which was made by Chengdu city officials publicising a range of 'panda cabs' - lookalikes playing Kate, Prince William and the Queen are seen standing outside a palace trying to hail a taxi.

The 'Queen' is shown shouting 'taxi' - and whistling to get a driver's attention - before telling her 'grandson' and his wife they should save money by opting for a cab to get to the Jubilee celebrations.

In the video, 'Kate' - played by lookalike Colette Mularkey - moans: 'I just don't understand why we cannot take the royal limo. I didn't marry into royalty to schlep around in a taxi.'

Lookalike Simon Watkinson replies: 'But darling, granny is right. The commoners want to see us tightening our belts and all that.'

Kate Middleton, Prince William Baby Names Revealed?

As reports heat up that Kate Middleton and Prince William are on the verge of welcoming their first child, clear frontrunners are emerging from punters wanting to earn money from guessing the offspring's name.

And according to Paddy Power, the unisex name Frances is the top contender.

Of course, whether or not Kate and Will will base their decision on Paddy Power's suggestions is something we somewhat doubt... but it can't hurt to speculate right?

Other than Frances (5/1), the site's top picks are Charles for a boy, after the grandfather-to-be (6/1), and Diana, after William's late mother (8/1).

For boys, other favourites include George (10/1), Louis (14/1) and Richard (14/1); whilst female picks are Carole, after Kate's mother (16/1), Anne, after the Princess Royal (10/1) and Mary (16/1).

If you fancy taking a risk on a long shot, the company offers odds of 1000/1 that Brooklyn will be chosen, 500/1 that it'll be Peaches, and 500/1 for the exceptional Frogmella.

Even Fergie is a cheeky tip at 250/1.

Kate Middleton charms Brad Pitt as actor snaps up Royal portrait

Even the Hollywood actor has fallen under the Duchess’s spell, shelling out thousands on a portrait of William and Kate on the day of their engagement.

Say cheese: The portrait Brad Pitt is thought to have snapped up is based on this engagement photo of Kate and William

Kate Middleton has charmed the public, the Royals, and now Hollywood Royalty too it seems, after Brad Pitt paid thousands of pounds to snap up a portrait of the Duchess.

According to reports, Oceans Eleven star Brad fell in love with a stencil on canvas version of the famous engagement portrait of Kate and Prince William’s, and decided he had to have the piece of art in his collection.

The movie star is believed to have paid thousands to secure the black and white portrait, created by Islington graffiti artist Bambi, which shows the couple smiling for the cameras with their arms linked, with the words ‘A bit like Marmite’ scrawled over the front.

Acording to artlyst, the portrait, which had been on show at a gallery at the corner of Offord Road and Liverpool Road, Barnsbury, had become a big hit with tourists, who have fallen in love with Wills and Kate, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

And it seems Brad just had to have the piece for his collection to add to one of his many homes around the globe.

As well as snap up the Kate and William portrait, Brad also reportedly bought an image of Queen Elizabeth, as well as one of the late R&B/soul star Amy Winehouse.

And they didn’t come cheap, with “serious art collector” Brad reported to have paid £60,000 for the three pieces.

Earlier this year it emerged that Brad and Angelina fell in love with Kate and William’s stunning Royal Wedding, and are said to be taking inspiration from it for their very own wedding later this year.

The Hollywood pair – Angelina in particular – are said to be “fascinated” by the couple and although will be having a much smaller, more private affair, would like to incorporate some themes from the Royal wedding into their own nuptials.

A source told Star magazine: “Angie is fascinated by Kate, and like the rest of the world she fell in love with her and William when she watched their wedding on TV with Brad and the kids.

“She would never make her own wedding public and wants a private event on a much smaller scale. But she loved the Britishness of Kate and William’s big day and wants to incorporate some of those very traditional elements into her own ceremony.”

Kate Middleton's sea-themed birthday surprise for Prince William!

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.

Prince William's 30th birthday gift from the Queen

Prince William was reportedly surprised with a £25,000 portrait by wife Kate Middleton on his 30th birthday last week, which sounded pretty good to us. But now it seems the Queen has gone one better.

According to insiders, the monarch gave Prince William a cottage at her sprawling Sandringham estate for his big 3-0, which will be ready for use later this year.

It's not known exactly which cottage thePrince was give on the 20,000-acre Sandringham estate.

But insiders say a property at one of the Queen's favourite residences is 'definitely being made ready' for Prince William and Kate Middleton this summer.

'A property is definitely being made available to William and Kate this year and a plan is in place for William to have his own place on the estate,' one insider told the Mail.

‘He’s a country boy and loves Norfolk, just like his father and his grandparents. It’s a lovely, peaceful place and William adores it.’

Sandringham Castle is thought to hold special memories for Prince William and Kate Middleton, who spent their first Christmas together there, with the rest of the Royal Family last year.

It's thought William and Katehave often visited Sandringham's Wood Farm Cottage, used as an informal country retreat by the royals - for romantic weekends away.

Was Kate Middleton Pregnant and Lonely When Prince William Was in the Falkland Islands?

There's a new report out that Kate Middleton was lonely and stressed when Prince William was in the Falkland Islands. This is also during the time there were numerous rumors Kate was pregnant. Later, reports came out that she may have suffered a miscarriage. Could all these reports be true? Actually, could they all be false? Fans are stuck wondering what to believe since Kate has never officially addressed any of the rumors surrounding her.

The latest rumor claims Middleton was able to put on a "brave face" but that the separation which lasted several weeks left her without an appetite and feeling "dreadfully lonely." How can anyone blame her? They hadn't been married long by that time and Middleton was still adjusting to married life.

An insider said, "Although he was away for less than two months, to her it felt like a lifetime. She was dreadfully lonely and lost her appetite when he first went and simply didn't get used to being by herself."

Now, Middleton supposedly dreaded something else: her and Prince William's impending move to Kensington Palace.

A friend added, "She feels their time in Anglesey is going much too fast. That's part of the reason she felt so lonely - it was time wasted. She had no one to buy Pringles for."

Hopefully Kate Middleton won't be so lonely once she gets pregnant and fills up Kensington Palace with little royals. It's hard to feel lonely when you're on diaper duty.

Kate Middleton and Prince William shine in African Cats premiere rain

Kate Middleton and Prince William returned to the red carpet at a rainy royal premiere of Disney film African Cats in London last night.

The royal couple, who celebrate their first wedding anniversary on Sunday, posed for photographs in the rain at The BFI Southbank before the screening of the nature documentary, which helped raise money for the prince’s conservation charity, Tusk Trust.

The pair were guests of honour at the Disney documentary, which follows a pride of lions and a family of cheetahs on Kenya's plains as they battle for survival.

After the screening William rallied for support to try to reduce the threat to the animals.

Kate Middleton given labrador puppy for her 30th birthday by Prince William

Prince William is believed to have bought his wife a puppy for her 30th birthday last week.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted out and about with a black Labrador near the Anglesey cottage she shares with the RAF rescue pilot.

“The dog is ever so cute,” said a source. “The Duke and Duchess have been seen with it several times and he runs along at their heels.

“They are constantly in fits of laughter as it tries to catch them up.”

It is thought that the puppy will travel with them between their homes in North Wales and London.

Both the Duke and Duchess are well known lovers of animals. Prince William had a black Labrador called Widgeon when he was a youngster.

A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess declined to comment yesterday.

Earlier this week. an official list of gifts given the royal couple on their first foreign trip to Canada and the US last summer was released.

A sleeping bag, snow goggles, a papier-mâché doll and a jar of Vegemite were just some of the unusual gifts given to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge last year.

The newlyweds also returned home with mosquito traps, cowboy hats, hockey jerseys, stuffed toys, wine coasters and bread board among the hoard of gifts.

Kate seemed to win in the popularity stakes, receiving more gifts from members of the public than her husband.

Kate Middleton dressed head to toe in gifts on Canada visit, records show

London :  The new Duchess of Cambridge was showered with gifts - from head to toe - on her first overseas visit as a member of the royal family.

Palace records show that Canadian officials and well-wishers gave the former Kate Middleton hats, tartan and peacock fascinators and three pairs of shoes during her visit to the country with Prince William last year.

The couple's office, Clarence House, has published lists of all the gifts the pair received on trips in 2011.

William's haul included shirts, cufflinks, a pilot's helmet from a unit of the Royal Canadian Air Force and a Canadian Ranger patrol knife.

Governor General David Johnson - the representative in Canada of William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II - gave the couple a quilt, while Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper presented them with a woollen blanket, a framed photograph, souvenir edition Canadian magazines, two jackets, a bottle of whiskey and a Canadian flag.

A gift from Canada's health minister was arguably more practical - two mosquito traps.

The royal couple, who married last April at Westminster Abbey in London, visited Canada and the US between June 20 and July 10.

The American leg of the tour took in California, where they received an iPad from Gov. Jerry Brown and four coasters from the sheriff-coroner of Santa Barbara.

During a solo visit to Australia and New Zealand in March, William was given items including a papier mache model of a cassowary - a large flightless bird - and a jar of the savoury spread Vegemite.

Some gifts came from officials and dignitaries, others from unnamed individuals - everything from a "selection of baseball caps" to rubble from buildings destroyed in the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake.

A palace official said yesterday all gifts are registered and then either placed in storage or put on display in royal residences.

Kate Middleton to Turn 30 with Quiet Celebration

London - The former Kate Middleton turns 30 on Monday -- but royal fans expecting a lavish birthday bash to mark the milestone will be disappointed.

Britain's Prince William, left, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, 2nd left, Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary pose for the cameras in Copenhagen

Palace officials say the Duchess of Cambridge's birthday celebration will be a "low-key and private" affair, appearing to quash press reports that she will see off her 20s with a fun '80s themed party, complete with karaoke, in a throwback to her more carefree bachelorette days.

The choice of a muted event seems appropriate: After all, the duchess is not just starting the fourth decade of her life -- she is also embarking on her career as a future queen, charged with renovating a monarchy that has become somewhat creaky with age.

"She's done very well, playing a very good supporting role to Prince William and complementing him as part of a team," commentator Robert Jobson said of her first few months as a royal.

"We've not seen much of her, but when she's in public she has performed with aplomb," added Jobson, who is the author of "William and Kate: The Love Story."

The past year has seen momentous changes for Kate, with a fairytale wedding to Prince William, travels around the world and glamorous appearances that marked her transition from commoner to the world's most talked-about princess and style icon. She has won rave reviews for her sparkle, her elegant sense of style, and her common touch with the public. The media, yearning for a young and beautiful royal, documented -- and largely admired -- her every move.

But now that the excitement around her grand wedding has subsided, she is expected to quietly settle down into her royal duties -- and for much of this year, that means helping Queen Elizabeth II celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, without upstaging the monarch in her moment of glory, and also playing a supporting role at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Until recently, palace officials have been quiet about what exactly her role will be, keen to protect her transition into a fully fledged royal from the glare of the media limelight. The newlyweds, who live in a remote corner of north Wales, were said to favor a "quieter life" after the massive global media coverage of their April wedding. Outside of a tour of Canada and California in the summer, the duchess has only taken a handful of official engagements.

The former Middleton ventured out on her first solo engagement in October -- a private charity dinner for about 30 guests -- but is yet to make a public speech on her own.

That is set to change. This week, royal officials finally gave the first insight into her new role when they announced which charities she's supporting, including the Scouts and a group that helps drug addicts. More organizations will follow later, officials said.

The royal family considers patronage of charities an important aspect of their social role, and frequently makes visits and attends events to boost the charities' profiles. William is involved in many diverse nonprofits, while his mother, the late Princess Diana, was well known for her active support for numerous charities including organizations that helped AIDS patients.

Even after her separation from Prince Charles, Diana actively campaigned for a ban on land mines, and visited Angola to champion that cause.

The former Middleton is expected to take on a similar role, eventually designating more charities she wants to be involved with as a way for her to carve out her own niche, based on her own priorities and concerns.

She has already taken on an unofficial role as a champion of the British fashion industry, wearing the creations of British designers at home and abroad, showcasing their work in the best possible light.

On top of such duties, the duchess also has a busy year ahead with the queen's jubilee, a major celebration of the monarch's 60 years on the throne that will take see numerous celebrations throughout Britain and the Commonwealth, peaking in a major celebration in London in early June.

The royals are expected to play a supporting role by traveling overseas to represent the queen. William and Kate are due to journey to Malaysia, Singapore, the Solomon Islands and the tiny Pacific island of Tuvalu as part of the festivities.

The queen and her husband will avoid overseas travel because their advanced years make such trips challenging. The queen's husband, Prince Philip, recently spent time in the hospital with a heart problem.

William and his wife have also indicated that they intend to take up residence at an apartment in London's Kensington Palace once his military commitment at an air base in Wales has been met. That will give the likely future king and queen even more visibility in the capital.

Inevitably, much of the speculation about the duchess's future has centered on royal lineage -- Is she going to start a family soon? That, however, is anyone's guess, and despite incessant tabloid baby chatter, there doesn't yet appear to be great pressure on the newlyweds to produce an heir.

"It's early days yet, and they're both getting used to their roles," said Jobson, adding that the presence of other young members of the royal household, such as Prince Harry, helps to ease the pressure on William and Kate.

Many of the more senior women in the royal family were mothers in their 20s, but times and expectations have changed -- both inside and outside the royal household. By the age of 30, the queen had given birth to two of her four children. Her daughter, Princess Anne, married at 23 and had her first child, Peter Phillips, four years later. Diana also married early and gave birth to William, her first child, at 21.

Now Middleton family website promotes ‘sculpt your own prince’ clay doll

With its Britannia-themed scratch cards and princess outfits, Carole and Mike Middleton’s online business Party Pieces has never fought shy of its Royal connections.

And now the website, for which the Duchess of Cambridge used to work, has selected its gift of the year - a clay doll that can be sculpted into a ‘Handsome Prince’.

The item, called Sculpt Your Own Boyfriend, promises to fulfil any single girl’s dream.

According to text on the website: ‘If you’re finding that landing your dream guy is proving too difficult, too time-consuming and seemingly doomed to failure, all you need to do is get hold of this kit and learn to design a whole variety of gorgeous guys from the Millionaire to the Movie Star to the Handsome Prince.’

The 15in toy comes with five different colours of modelling clay, special modelling tools and a guide that teaches you to design 25 ‘types’ of boyfriend.

A picture of the same product on a different website shows the doll on bended knee with an engagement ring in a box. 

However, this picture was omitted from the product description on the Party Pieces website. 

Mysteriously, the original blurb on the website accompanying the photograph of the doll has recently been removed. Now there is only a paragraph of text, with no mention of a ‘handsome prince’.

It is not the first time that last-minute changes have been made to the website.

Last year an interview with Kate and her siblings was posted on the company’s web-magazine Party Times, which is edited by Kate’s sister Pippa.
