Eligible royals Pierre Casiraghi, 23, (white shirt) and his brother Andrea, 27, (striped shirt) are basking in the sun on their yacht in St Tropez. They are Princess Caroline of Monaco’s sons – horseriding Charlotte is their sister. Andrea has a masters degree in International Affairs and lives most of the time in New York. Pierre lives in Italy and runs his late father’s companies there.
All that horseback riding and hunting that Madonna did in the English countryside with her then husband Guy Ritchie didn’t get her any closer to the royal family. Even her friendship with Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t open any doors to Buckingham Palace for the ambitious singer. In fact, it’s like she never spent all those years in the UK! Madonna became acutely aware of that fact when her ex Guy Ritchie WAS invited to Prince William and Kate’s royal wedding and she was NOT. It’s like a slap in the face, but the royals apparently never took to Madonna even though she tried her best to fit in. (Note that in photo above, Madonna is even wearing TWEED!)
Kate Middleton dolls (right) are flooding the UK before the royal wedding, and this version can be had for less than $50. It might be a good investment – Princess Diana dolls are selling for up to $600 now. So far the Kate dolls are casually dressed but after a few big events we’ll see gowns and tiaras.
And to think the Brits accused Americans of getting too carried away about the royal wedding! They’ve come up with the ultimate souvenir of the highly anticipated event. GDHA, the distributor for G.E. appliances, in the UK has introduced the Royal Commemorative Refrigerator. The 5’9” appliance has larger than life size images of William and Kate, making every visit to the kitchen a special event.

They look like average New Yorkers but these two are among the wealthiest people in the world. It’s Prince Andrea Casiraghi, the son of Princess Caroline of Monaco, and his girlfriend Tatiana Santo Domingo, an heiress from Colombia whose father is one of the richest men in South America. They met at a fancy school in Paris and have been together since 2004. Now they’re a jet setting couple who live in the West Village and may or may not be taking classes in New York.
