The Merry Royals in October 2007
It’s November already. Last month, we saw quite a variety of royal news, ranging from the favored dogs of royals, to a brewing blackmail scandal. Read on for a recap of October’s royal news:
British Royals
The month began with the release of an entire book written about the royal dogs. Prince Charles was at the right place and time to come to the assistance of an injured biker. Prince William continued his royal appearances, which included a time to play football with kids. It was reported that he will join the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force next year. On a sad note, Prince William attended the funeral of a friend, who was killed in Iraq.
Prince William and Kate Middleton found themselves in the middle of a papparazi frenzy over their first post-break-up photo. Their relationship seems as strong as ever, evidenced by a special trip to Balmoral. But the Daily Mail still poses the question: Does William dare dump Kate again?
