Kate_and_-Carole_M_1154721c

The influence of Carole Middleton in the lives of the Cambridges is being heavily scrutinized across gossip sites, including the Daily Mail (3 articles on their website today alone!).

One big happy family? Not so says Sebastian Shakespeare today in the Daily Mail….

Adds a source: ‘Carole has rather taken over, dictating when George naps, when and what he eats. All in all, behaving like she’s Queen Carole.’”

Kensington Palace announced last week that Prince William passed his air ambulance pilot exams and will work out of East Anglia.

Princess Beatrice has joined her sister, Princess Eugenie, in moving across the pond to partake in a finance course. While Eugenie is in NYC, the exact location of where Beatrice’s program is remains unknown.
