Lupo Not Invited to Sandringham for Christmas?
Word on the street is that Prince William and Kate Middleton’s dog, Lupo, was not invited to be a part of the holiday festivities in Sandringham this year. According to Cindy Stockman of Royal Central blog, it appears that the Queen, concerned about the playful nature of the the cocker spaniel versus the territorial and slightly unpredictable temperament of her corgis, decided it was best if Lupo went to spend Christmas with the Middletons in Berkshire.
The Queen’s corgis have a history of run-ins with other family pets, including Princess Beatrice’s Norfolk terrier, Max, and Princess Anne’s bullterrier, Dotty. Dotty unfortunately injured the Queen’s dog, Pharos, so badly that he had to be put down the next day.
Stockman went on to write, “perhaps Lupo will be allowed to join in the holiday merriment someday. Hoey (author Brian Hoey) writes; ‘As Duke of Cambridge, William recently said, perhaps only half-jokingly, that one of the changes he will make when he eventually succeeds to the throne is to get rid of the corgis. ‘They bark all the time,’ he said, but not within hearing distance of his grandmother. Of course, he would never do or say anything to upset her during her lifetime, but there may have been more than a little truth in what he said.'”

Kate “Babykins” Middleton?
Prince William and Kate Middleton (2006)
From US Weekly:
Ever wonder what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge call each other in private? Apparently so did the News of the World, the disgraced former British tabloid, currently in the midst of a major lawsuit in which it is accused of hacking the phones of several prominent leaders and personalities, including Kate Middleton and Prince Harry.
On Dec. 19, Middleton’s private messages from Prince William, her then-boyfriend, in 2006 were played in the court room.
“Babykins, just tried ringing you, hope you’re alright,” William said in one message.
This is the first time it’s been confirmed that Middleton’s phone was hacked by News of the World. Another message reveals he nearly got shot during his officer training at Sandhurst in 2006.
“Hi baby. Um, sorry, I’ve just got back off my night navigation exercise,” he said in a new message. “I’ve been running around the woods of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting horribly lost, and I walked into some other regiment’s ambush, which was slightly embarrassing because I nearly got shot. Not by live rounds, but by blank rounds, which would have been very embarrassing, though.”
Another message was played from the voicemail of Prince Harry, left by an unnamed male using a high-pitched voice to impersonate Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
“You are the best looking ginger I have ever seen!” the voice, thought to be Prince William, said. “It’s lovely out here in Africa and hopefully I’ll see you very soon you big hairy fat ginger.”
