Britain's Prince William has been left off a list of famous students who attended his university.

The royal and his girlfriend Kate Middleton - who have been dating for five years after meeting at Scotland's St Andrew's University - were not included on a list of alumni at the institution's new $3 million museum.

The camera used to photograph Britain's Queen Elizabeth for postage stamps has been sold at auction. The Hasselblad 503CX was used to picture the queen at her London residence Buckingham Palace on 22 June 1966, and was sold for £1,600 [$2,400] in Norfolk, England.

One of the pictures taken by Professor John Hedgecoe was used by renowned sculptor Arnold Machin to make a plaster cast. Hedgecoe then photographed the cast with the camera, and the image was used on billions of stamps.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth was introduced to President Gerald Ford's son when he was "half dressed."

Maria Downs - who served as social secretary to the late former American president and his wife Betty - has revealed Jack "burst in" on the monarch with bare feet and his shirt untucked, much to the embarrassment of his parents.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth was featured in a poll of inspirational British women. The monarch finished third in the survey of the top 10 positive role models for women, which was conducted by British bingo chain Mecca Bingo.

The 82-year-old royal was beaten to the top spot by Girls Aloud star and "The X Factor" judge Cheryl Cole. Last year, the 25-year-old singer topped the poll of the worst example set to British women.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth is set to step down from the throne and allow her son Prince Charles to become the country's monarch in five years' time, according to senior palace sources.

The 82-year-old monarch has reportedly told confidantes she is planning to abdicate when she is 87 and allow Charles to become king at the age of 65.

Britain's Prince Harry has been offered rapping lessons. "Lonely" singer Akon says he is a big fan of the 24-year-old prince and hopes they can meet up when he visits London so he can share his skills with Harry.

He told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Prince Harry is the man. I want to hook up with him when I'm in London as I heard he is a fan."
