Britain's Prince William has been flying real-life rescue missions off the Welsh coast. The 27-year-old royal has attended one emergency and several other call-outs during his two-week posting at RAF Valley search and rescue base.

The prince - who is training to be a search and rescue pilot - was not allowed to take the controls during the missions, but picked up valuable practical tips.

Kate Middleton has been asking Sir Richard Branson for career advice. The 27-year-old girlfriend of Britain's Prince William has had "several meetings" with the billionaire Virgin boss to improve her "business acumen."

A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Kate is very close friends with Sir Richard's daughter Holly and has had several meetings with Richard."

Britain's Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall have sparked speculation they are set to marry. The 28-year-old royal - the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth - and her rugby player beau are set to move into a $1.3 million home together, prompting rumors a wedding could be imminent.

The love birds bought the three-storey home in the West Country earlier this year, and have reportedly spent £250,000 on improving it. Friends of Zara have said she "can't wait" to begin her new life at the house.

Britain's late Princess Diana was Paris Hilton's idol. The hotel heiress says she was inspired by the princess - who died in a car crash in August 1997 - but now knows she couldn't live the life Diana did as she was constantly hounded by paparazzi.

Paris, who is often followed by photographers, said: "I always looked up to Princess Diana and all these women, and now I could never be like that. I want to have a family. I want to be normal. I want to be happy."

Kate Middleton's uncle was warned about his hedonistic lifestyle over fears he would embarrass the British royal family.

Gary Goldsmith, who was recently captured on camera boasting about supplying illegal drugs and prostitutes, was urged to tone down his partying ways more than a year ago by security services who were concerned his behaviour could affect Kate's relationship with Britain's Prince William.

Justin Timberlake wants Britain's Prince William to wear jeans from his label. The "SexyBack" singer has revealed the 27-year-old royal is just the sort of person he wants to sport jeans from his William Rast clothing line.

He said: "Do you know who we're trying to get into a pair of our jeans? Prince William - he'd look pretty cool in Rast. And Harry too."
