Britain's Princes William and Harry donned bowler hats and pinstripe suits to parade in London's Hyde Park on Sunday. The two brothers carried umbrellas as they lined up with other Army officers for the Combined Cavalry Old Comrades Association Parade annual parade.

Britain's Zara Phillips and fiance Mike Tindall have scrapped plans to make a wedding announcement. The pair became secretly engaged on Christmas and were thought to be on the verge of making their wedding plans public.

Britain's Princess Anne watched her daughter Zara Phillips take part in her latest horsing event over the weekend.
