Prince William and Prince Harry played their second charity match of the weekend at the Cirencester Park Polo Club on June 7, 2009.

Kate Middleton made one of her rare public appearances to cheer for Prince William. Last month, Kate was spotted at the Audi Polo Match with her prince.

Prince Harry and Prince William at the polo match in Coworth Park on May 10, 2009.

Prince William and Prince Harry played at the Audi charity polo match at Coworth Park last Sunday. Looks like it was a fun and relaxing day for everyone present. Kate Middleton and her sister Pippa were among the spectators. (Photos of Prince William and Kate are here).

The two princes didn’t have fun only during the match. The fun-loving brothers, Prince Harry in particular, hammed it up before mounting their horses. Prince William got into some stretching exercises (a good idea before embarking on any physical activity, anyhow). He was certainly in good form doing his routine.

I don’t know about Prince Harry, though. Either he was trying to show his brother some dance moves or he was making fun of Prince William’s stretching routine. But I like his style. He really seemed to put everything he had into the moves. Photos below (and a bonus one of Prince William and Kate!)

Here we’ve got some lovely photos of our favorite royal couple at last! Prince William and Kate Middleton were a cozy couple at the Audi Polo Challenge at Ascot’s Coworth Park Polo Club on Sunday, May 10, 2009.

Prince William and Prince Harry played at the charity polo match with Kate and her sister Pippa watching from the sidelines. Afterwards, Prince William and Kate took a stroll across the grass, looking happy and relaxed.

Kate was sporting a familiar look of a black jacket over a simple blouse, skinny jeans, and brown boots.

With the low profile these two have been keeping in the past months, I am so thrilled to see them looking at ease and enjoying each other’s presence. I get the sense that their relationship has matured and is as strong now as it has ever been. Do you agree?

The cover of this week’s issue of HELLO! Canada is graced by Kate Middleton, Prince William’s long-term girlfriend.

The issue looks in depth at the royal relationship and the “deep connection that has her more devoted to her prince charming than ever before”. Should be a very interesting read, as we always love to know more about the low-key romance between the two.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Prince William and Kate Middleton will get married this summer.

The report is based on the latest issue of Point de Vue, a French society magazine. The Mail is giving credence to the scoop, saying that Point de Vue has “impeccable contacts within royal families”. Here are the main points of the exclusive front-page report:

• The wedding will be this summer.
• An announcement will be made sometime this month.
• Prince William proposed sometime in January, possibly around the time of Kate’s 27th birthday.
• Other royal families have been asked to keep their schedules clear for the wedding.
• Harewood Estate is being feverishly prepared to be the couple’s new home.
• The British press are clueless about the impending wedding.

I soo wish I could get a copy of this issue of Point de Vue. It could turn out to be the biggest scoop in the history of royal romances. If it’s true, Prince William and Kate have keep the best secret to themselves all this time. And, we’ll see a royal wedding even sooner than we thought!

Prince William and Kate Middleton seem to be going out of their way to keep a very low profile these days. Good thing we continue to see the occasional photo of them, clearly still together.

Here, the couple, walking paces apart, emerged from Tom’s Kitchen last weekend. Prince William kept his head turned away from the photographers, while Kate tried to shield her face. I wonder how often they see each other these days?

Yesterday, the British royal family gathered at the unveiling of the memorial to the Queen Mother. One of our readers here, daisybee, pointed out a photo (not previously posted) of Prince William greeting a woman with a kiss on the cheek. We were wondering who the woman is. She has a resemblance to Carole Middleton, Kate’s mom. Is it Carole or someone else?

Here’s the photo:
