Britain's Queen Elizabeth is set to attend the memorial service to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana.

In an unprecedented move, the monarch will reportedly cut short her annual break at Balmoral - the Scottish estate she and husband Prince Philip retreat to every summer - to return to London to pay her respects to her former daughter-in-law.

Britain's Prince William's Facebook profile is a hoax. The 24-year-old royal set the record straight after a prankster created a page on the internet networking site under the name 'William Wales' and included a picture of the prince in a ski hat and sunglasses.

One senior royal aide told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "William happened to call in yesterday and he mentioned it. It's not him - it's a hoax. There are about 20 Tony Blairs (the British Prime Minister) on Facebook, apparently, so I don't think it's that uncommon for this to happen."

Britain's Prince Harry has threatened to quit the army if he is banned from fighting in Iraq, it has been claimed. Harry reportedly insisted he will abandon his duties all together unless he is allowed to fulfill them properly, following Thursday's announcement that Army chiefs called an eleventh-hour meeting to review whether he should see combat.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Harry feels stronger about this today than ever - fighting on the frontline has been his childhood ambition.

Bets are being taken on who will become Britain's newly-single Prince William's next girlfriend.

William has become one of the world's most eligible bachelors again since his split with Kate Middleton was announced over the weekend - and a line-up of beauties tipped to win his heart has already been declared.
