Kate Middleton Looks Sexier Than We've Ever Seen Before in a Roland Mouret Gown

Anthony Harvey/Getty Images

Are we allowed to call Kate Middleton sexy or is that against some kind of princess etiquette?

We feel like the British tabloids would use words like "regal" or "stately" to describe the Duchess of Cambridge in this Roland Mouret gown, but that's A. not entirely correct and B. not our style. Catherine looks super hot in this winter white look, and we don't care which royal we're offending by saying so. 

"Royal" and "stately" are words you can use to describe a gorgeous ball gown or "smart suit" (as the UK set would say). This look is sleek, body-hugging, and effortlessly sexy. The choice of loose hair and a smokey eye only further enforces the heat Prince George's gorgeous Mum is giving off, and that bit of bling around her neck (yes, a $35 steal from Zara!) seals the deal.

And the best part of all—this is a recycled style! Kate isn't above wearing a perfect look twice, even if its bound to raise the Queen Mum's eyebrows, both times.

Prince Harry and His Beard Finally Get to Starting Line of South Pole Trek

WWTW via Getty Images

And they're off! Almost!

Prince Harry, looking more rugged than ever now that his beard has grown in a bit, was finally able to make it yesterday to the official starting point of his 208-mile trek across the South Pole after he and his 12 teammates were delayed by a blizzard.

The royal and the former military servicemen he's making the journey with had been snowed in at Novo base camp in Antarctica and arrived at the start line, about 87 degrees south of Novo, a week behind schedule.

But at least it has given Harry more time to grow a natural face-warmer before he's, er, faced with even harsher elements, including minus-50-degree (Celcius) temperatures and 70- to 90-kilometer-an-hour winds.

The 29-year-old redhead's scruffiness made quite a splash at base camp among the reporters documenting his adventure, as did his joke on Monday to Sky News that older brother Prince William is jealous of him, because he's off on an adventure and Will is at home with a crying baby.

Harry said that his teammates, all of them former members of the military who lost a limb while on active duty in Afghanistan, "absolutely loved" going to Buckingham Palace to meet his grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

BBC

"Every single person who takes part in this challenge is extraordinary," he said of his fellow South Pole Allied Challenge trekkers, who are raising money for other injured servicemen and women. "The fact these guys have made it to this point is extraordinary and I count myself incredibly lucky to be part of it."

The teams are expected to push off this weekend—weather permitting, of course.

Cressida Bonas Spotted Clubbing in London While Prince Harry Goes on South Pole Trek

cresSplash

Cressida Bonas had a very exciting Sunday funday.

The 24-year-old blond beauty was spotted leaving at KOKO Club in Camden, North London, around 3:30 a.m. early this morning. Bonas and her half-sister Isabella Branson went to support their brother Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe whose DJ crew Housekeeping was launching a new event, Seven Deadly Sins at the famous venue.

Prince Harry's lady was dressed in an all-black, casual outfit with an oversized blue scarf that Bonas used to cover her face as she made her way through paparazzi.

While Cressy danced the night away with her family, Harry's South Pole trek was faced with yet another delay due to poor weather conditions.

A snow storm and high winds have left the 29-year-old and his fellow Walking With the Wounded teammates—along with the two other teams competing—confined to their base camp at Novolazarevskaya Station, Antarctica, as of last night.

The young, handsome royal was photographed trying to stay warm by bundling up in layers and growing a little bit of facial fur.

The groups are hoping to reach the geographic South Pole by Dec. 16

Although the pair is spending some time apart right now, Cressida and Harry's relationship seems to be getting very serious.

In fact, earlier this month an insider told E! News that the two are closer than ever and that Prince Harry is definitely talking marriage.

"Seeing Prince William and Kate [Middleton] get married and settle down has had a real effect on Harry," the source explained. "He's just seen how happy they are and he's realized that he wants that too."

Kate Middleton Recycles Red Coat, Updates Looks—See What She Changed!

Getty Images

In news that should surprise no one, Kate Middleton has recycled yet another look. This time its a red L.K. Bennett coat, worn during today's Poppy Day event with husband Prince William.

The outerwear was the same Ami coat—from the brand's 2011 fall collection—that she donned to the exact same event two years prior.

Technically, the head-to-toe look wasn't identical though. This year, the Duchess of Cambridge ditched the oversize patent-leather red belt she cinched her waist with in 2011 and instead just opted for the simple wool belt that comes with the coat.

She also left her black suede knee-high boots at Kensington Palace (where we're guessing Prince George was as well) and went with black stockings and matching pumps. Coincidentally, the heels were, in fact, suede. Perhaps the temperatures hadn't dropped to boot levels yet.

Which coat style do you like best?

Kate Middleton Showcases Tiny Waist in Belted Red Coat, Shows Support for 2013 Poppy Day With Prince William

CARL COURT/AFP/Getty Images

It's been less than four months since Prince George was born, but it sure looks like Kate Middleton's got her pre-pregnancy bod back!

On Thursday, Nov. 7, the duchess and Prince William greeted staff and volunteers at London's Poppy Day charity appeal. Kate, 31, wowed in a long, suitably red L.K. Bennett coat which was belted at the waist, drawing attention to her tiny waist and super slim figure.

The goal of this Poppy Day charity initiative is to raise 1 million pounds ($1.69 million) in a single day for the Royal British Legion, which provides monetary support for Armed forces members and their families.  It comes just before Remembrance Day, (Sunday, Nov. 10) when the British honor their fallen soldiers.

To help bring in donations for Poppy Day and draw interest in the cause, Kate and William also took a ride along the 1960s Routemaster bus with TV personality Barbara Windsor and volunteers. They even met with commuters outside of a London tube station.

Prince Harry was participating in Poppy Day, too. Along with Prince Philip, he attended a ceremony outside of Westminster Abbey in honor of those who lost their lives in military service.

Props to the royals for supporting such a good cause!

Prince William Greets South Korean President at Korean War Memorial Ceremony—See the Pic!

WPA Pool-Richard Pohle/Getty Images

Prince William is really reppin' the royals these days!

On Wednesday, Nov. 6, the future king of the United Kingdom greeted South Korean president Park Geun-hye at a ground-breaking ceremony revealinged the design for the Korean War memorial in London. While William met informally with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama during their 2011 State visit to London, his meeting with South Korea's first female president marked his first official time performing State duties typically handled by Queen Elizabeth II.

The Korean War, which spanned the years of 1950 to 1953, was between what we now know as South Korea, backed by the United Nations, United States, and Britain, and North Korea, which was then supported by the Commonwealth of China. Per London's Express, 85,000 British servicemen fought in support of South Korea and over 1,000 died

"This memorial will remind future generations of the remarkable fruits of British friendship which will forever be etched in the hearts of the Korean people," President Geun-hye told the paper.

William, said it was "an honor to be here," adding, "It's the least I could do. It's been a good opportunity for me to catch up and learn a bit more about the war."

A British veteran of the war, 82-year-old Tommy Clough, spoke with the papers about his interactions with the 31-year-old prince. "When he found out I was a prisoner of war, he asked about the conditions in the camp and about the climate," he said. "It means a great deal to have the future king of England here."

The actual memorial isn't expected to be completed until summer 2014, but just breaking the ground alone meant a lot to many. "It means everything to have this," one veteran said. "So many people don't know about the war. It came too soon after the end of World War Two and the country had had enough of war."

Makes sense. Later in the evening Queen Elizabeth II did take back her royal role. She, Prince Philip and Prince Andrew hosted President Geun-hye at a Buckingham Palace banquet.

Those royals sure keep busy!

Prince George's Christening Portraits Revealed—See the Royal Family in the Official Photos!

JASON BELL /CAMERA PRESS/ REDUX

The official portraits from Prince George's christening are here!

And yes, they are as elegant and delightful as you would expect from the stylish royals.

Just one day after the royal christening, Kensington Palace released four formal photographs, taken by Jason Bell in the Morning Room at Clarence House on Wednesday, Oct. 23, according to a statement from the palace.

The first photograph features the entire family: Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton holding her son on her lap and Prince William seated, while Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince Harry, Pippa Middleton, James Middleton, and Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton are standing.

The second photograph features four generations of royals: Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Prince William, who holds Prince George. This is the first photograph of the Queen, and the next three kings, pictured together.

The third photograph is Prince George with his proud parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Prince George appears active and vibrant, with his little mouth open and his arms raised.

So precious!

The fourth photograph is very similar to the first portrait, however the Middleton family is not present. Everyone is looking at the camera, except for the Queen, who is adoringly gazing at her great-grandson. Prince George is looking straight ahead, not making eye contact with his great-grandmother!

Prince George is wearing the handmade royal christening robe, made by Angela Kelly, dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II.

The Morning Room, where the photo session took place, is steeped in rich tradition, which dates back hundreds of years. It was originally the Breakfast Room in John Nash's original design for the Duke of Clarence in 1825-1827.

The sofa, on which the group is seated, dates from about 1773 and is part of "a suite of gilt-wood seat furniture by Thomas Chippendale."

Plenty of artwork and other portraits decorate the ornate room, including a bronze bust of a young Queen Elizabeth II and a matching bust of her sister, Princess Margaret on a visible cabinet. An oil portrait of the young queen and her sister hangs above the same cabinet.

If you look closely in some of the images, you can see two photographs: one features Prince Charles and Prince Harry in Zulu Village, South Africa, in 1997 and another shows Prince Harry as a toddler. 

It was a small affair at the christening, only 23 guests were present. In addition to the royal family and the Middleton family, George's seven godparents and the six spouses among them and William's former nanny turned George's part-time nanny, Jessie Webb, marked the celebration.

"It has been a tremendously joyful occasion for everyone involved," a Kensington Palace spokesperson said in a statement issued after the 35-minute ceremony.

After the ceremony, it was back to Clarence House for tea and the top tier of Will and Kate's wedding cake. It's a British tradition for couples to freeze the top of their cake and then serve it at their firstborn child's baptism.

The royal wedding cake was an eight-tiered spiced fruitcake (they're not just for Christmas in the U.K.!), made by pastry chef Fiona Cairns.

Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince George Arrive at Royal Christening—See the Pics!

The big day has arrived! After Prince George's godparents and relatives entered the Chapel Royal in St. James' Palace on Wednesday, Oct. 23, Prince William and Kate Middleton gave the first glimpse of their 3-month-old son since his first official portraits were unveiled in late August. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will preside over the intimate service.

Prince George was dressed in a handmade replica of the royal christening robe, made by Angela Kelly, dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II.

Kate's parents, Michael and Carole, arrived with her siblings, Pippa and James. William's younger brother, Prince Harry, came with his grandmother, as well as Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

Hours earlier, the palace announced that seven people will share the responsibility of being George's godparents: Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl "Hugh" Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, Zara Tindall and William van Cutsem.

Get a glimpse of the adorable 3-month-old baby and proud parents Prince William and Kate Middleton as they enter St. James Palace.

The royal baby will be baptized in the Lily Font using water from the River Jordan. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert commissioned the silver font for the birth of their first child, Victoria, Princess Royal, in 1840. It has been used at every royal christening since 1841.

George's parents already bucked tradition by hosting the event in St. James' Palace as opposed to Buckingham Palace. "William and Kate are going to do things differently, and actually, their families are respectful of that," a royal source previously told E! News. "This won't be a case of a big rift. Christenings are not state occasions. They're private affairs and can be as big or intimate as the parents desire."

Following the 45-minute service, Prince George's paternal grandparents will host a private tea in Clarence House. Guests will be served slices of christening cake, which is a tier taken from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding cake.

Inside St. James' Chapel Royal: Prince George's Christening Is a Location Fit for a Future King

John Stillwell /WPA Pool/Getty Images; TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

If you're anything like us, Prince George's christening today left us positively intrigued and touched by the special ceremony, urging us to uncover every fascinating detail we could find.

First up: the stunning venue!        

Prince William and Kate Middleton selected the Chapel Royal at St. James' Palace for the important occasion, a departure from previous royal christenings which have been traditionally held at Buckingham Palace.

The elegant wood-paneled space features black-and-white checkerboard floor at the foyer, stained glass windows and distinguished accents of gold and moss green décor for a truly impressive ambiance.

If you ask us, it's perfectly fitting for the (future) king!

The chapel has hosted a number of historical moments for the royal family over the years, although the last royal christening that took place there was back in 1998 for Princess Beatrice.

Most notably, however, in 1997, Princess Diana's casket was held in the chapel for five days, so her family and friends could pay their respects in private before her funeral at Westminster Abbey.

It goes without saying that the chapel is understood to be quite a sentimental place for William, and we couldn't have selected a more heartwarming venue to welcome his adorable son into the world.

See Prince William and Kate Middleton's Christening Pics Ahead of Tomorrow's Prince George Celebration

What better way to celebrate tomorrow's royal christening of Prince George than by taking a look back at Prince William and Kate Middleton's own christening pics?!

Ahead of tomorrow's celebration, let's compare the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's throwback baby photos.

In Will's adorable christening shot taken at Buckingham Palace in 1982 (Will was born Jun. 21, 1982), proud parents Princess Diana and Prince Charles look lovingly at their bundle of joy, who's wearing a long elaborate cream-colored gown. Charles sports a suit while Diana is dressed colorfully in a pink and white floral-print dress, pink hat and necklace.

MAVRIXONLINE.COM

Now for Kate's cute baby pic. In the shot, taken on Jun. 20, 1982 (one day before Will was born!), mom Carole Middleton holds baby Kate in her arms while Middleton stands close and flashes a giant smile while looking at their daughter. Michael sports dark suit similar to Charles while his wife wears a colorful dress, much like Diana's christening attire.

As for Kate's christening gown, hers appears to be whiter in color and a tad less elaborate than Will's.

As you already know, Will and Kate's royal baby boy Prince George will be christened tomorrow in a very intimate and private ceremony in Chapel Royal at St. James' Palace in London. George's uncle and aunt Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton will be in attendance.

Inside Kate Middleton and Prince William's Massive Kensington Palace "Apartment": All the Details on Their Royal Abode!

The royal couple, along with little George, have finally moved into Kensington Palace! Get the inside scoop on their nine-bedroom, four-story apartment.

If Prince William and Kate Middleton ever need some space, well...they've got space.

The couple and baby son Prince George have moved into their renovated quarters in Kensington Palace and, though their new residence is humbly referred to as Apartment 1-A, this is not your average abode.

Sources tell E! News that Will and Kate have four floors of living space to call their own, an expanse that takes up half of the palace's Clock Tower wing. The apartment used to belong to William's great-aunt, Princess Margaret, who had it restored in the swinging 1960s.

But now the palace's newest tenants, are bringing the property, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the early 1600s for King William and Queen Mary, into the 21st century with updates such as WiFi and air conditioning.

And though there are two master bedrooms on the first floor, the duke and duchess are breaking with the tradition practiced by many former residents and sharing a bedroom.

George, meanwhile, will have two nurseries to his name, one for sleeping and one for playing, as well as a built-in playground in the form of the private walled garden that can be seen from all of 1-A's principal rooms.

There are also two living rooms, a kitchen, an elevator, a guest bedroom, three principal bathrooms, nine bedrooms on the top floor for staff and a basement level with a gym, laundry quarters and a luggage room.

There's a "wonderful, bright feel to the place," an insider who has visited rooms within the apartment tells E! News. "The entrance hall is beautiful with intricate cornicing and huge black and white flagstones. There are large open fireplaces in all the main entertaining rooms and lovely big windows overlooking the garden.

"It doesn't feel like a palace, more just a lovely townhouse, but there will be plenty of room for Prince George to run around. The rooms are vast and the garden is wonderful for a little boy."

Kate, who was so excited about decorating her new home that she was still venturing out to shop while heavily pregnant, is looking to mix traditional antiques with modern furnishings. 

"Kate has taken a very personal role," our source says. "She has staff helping her, but she makes some of the calls herself and visited shops. She's very professional and organized" and "people enjoy dealing with her."

The Duchess of Cambridge is known to have settled on muted colors such as beige and light brown for curtains and upholstery and was seen picking out some heavy herringbone fabrics for the nursery at Bernard Thorp & Co. in London about a month before giving birth to George.

Prince Harry Ready to Marry Cressida Bonas: 10 Things You Didn't Know About the Potential Princess

Danny Martindale/WireImage

Cressida Bonas is living the dream.

An insider tells E! News the 24-year-old blond beauty and boyfriend Prince Harry are headed for marriage—maybe even in 2014!

It's impossible not to feel a tiny bit jealous of Cressy (or Cress, as her friends also call her) for landing the formerly oh-so-eligible bachelor. But since we can't all be princesses (officially), it's refreshing to see that Ms. Bonas seems to be a cool, down-to-earth girl.

So, without further ado, here are 10 things you didn't know about the woman who seems destined to be Prince Harry's wife.

MK/Splash News

1. She's the Blue-Blooded BFF of Princess Eugenie: Cressida has a lineage almost as impressive as the royal fam. Her mum, Lady Mary-Gaye Georgiana Lorna Curzon, is an heir to the very wealthy Curzon banking family, and her father, Jeffrey Bonas, is a successful Oxford-educated entrepreneur. As for lifelong best friend, Princess Eugenie? She was actually the one to make the introduction between Cressy and Harry in May 2012!

2. She's Athletic:  According to Tatler, the future princess landed a sports scholarship to Prior Park College, a boarding school in Bath, before switching to Stowe, a co-ed boarding school in Buckingham. Cressida went on to study dance at Leeds University (which is coincidentally where Harry's ex Chelsy Davy went, though not at the same time). Now, however, tennis is reportedly her game of choice. We've also seen her hit the slopes (and cuddle!) with Prince Harry,  so skiing's in her wheelhouse, too.

BAUER-GRIFFIN.COM

3: She Can Act: Cressida played Desdemona in a university production of Othello. One critic described her portrayal of the defiant character as having "a playful, almost childish confusion that convinced the audience she had not deserved the fate she was dealt," while another reviewer hailed her performance "particularly strong."

4. She Can Also Sing: Homegirl has many talents! When half-sister Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe married Sam Branson in May, Cressida serenaded the couple with a love song. "I was really nervous before performing and wanted to direct my singing at Bellie," she told HELLO! magazine, "but when I saw her burst into tears and bury her head under the table I suddenly had no-one to sing it to."

Getty Images

5. Her Half-Sis Had a (One-Sided) Royal Romance: The wedding won't be quite so uncomfortable now that both parties are happily married to other people, but Bellie (Cressy's half-sis mentioned above) reportedly had an unrequited crush on Prince William in his pre-Kate Middleton days.

6. She's Endearingly Awkward: Sure, she fits right in with the royals and already seems to have the social grace of a princess, but Cress still has her moments! When she's embarrassed, she reportedly exclaims, "Cringe de la cringe!" (Start saying it now.)

7. She Knows How to Party: Cressida will be great at popping champagne bottles and doing all those symbolic royal things, but her drink of choice? Rum! According to Tatler, she drinks it "straight up."

8. She Recycles: Just like a certain duchess we all love, Cressida has no qualms about wearing her favorite clothes on multiple occasions. She can roll in the designer gowns like the best of 'em, but her day-to-day wardrobe seems to be quite anti-Kate. In lieu of L.K. Bennett nude pumps, she's often spotted in sneakers. She'll even wear the occasional crop top and seems to be A-OK with casual.

9. She's Bringing Scrunchies Back: Somewhere Carrie Bradshaw just squealed, but the times they are a-changin'. Those glorious fabric hair-holders that went out of fashion 15 years ago will rise again if Cressida has anything to do with it! She's sported scrunchies of all sorts—black, gray, purple, velvet!—and if anyone can bring them back in vogue (non-ironically), it's her!

Tatler

10. She Doesn't Mind If You Put Baby in a Corner: Because, brace yourselves, Cress reportedly "hates" Dirty Dancing! She does, however, love The West Wing and is a fan ofSean Penn.

Clearly, (future) HRH Princess Cressida is marriage material.

Prince Harry Ready to Marry Cressida Bonas: Royal Wants What Prince William and Kate Middleton Have

By the looks of it, Prince Harry is ready to settle down.

An insider tells E! News that the young royal is getting serious with his girlfriend Cressida Bonas and that the two are definitely talking marriage.

"Seeing Prince William and Kate[Middleton] get married and settle down has had a real effect on Harry," the source explained. "He's just seen how happy they are and he's realized that he wants that too."

And it appears that his feelings are being matched by his leading lady as well.

Bonas is "very much up for getting more serious," the source added. "They want to remain very much as they are—with a private life away from the cameras. For now they want to enjoy as much time together before the seriousness of their relationship becomes public with announcements."

Sources close to the 29-year-old prince say that he and Bonas are "basically live with each other these days and are rarely out of each other's sights."

"This is it for them both," another pal explains. "He hasn't proposed yet, but it's only a matter of time."

Friends close to the redheaded royal are apparently taken aback by how quickly things have turned serious between the two.

Jesal / Tanna / Splash News

"At one point it seemed like he wasn't over his ex Chelsy [Davy], but now he's fully all about Cressida. He says he wants her to be his wife—this is it."

The pal added, "Things will start happening sooner rather than later. Harry's found his girl. It's taken everybody very much by surprise."

Things seem to be moving faster than ever after the two were spotted attending the Glastonbury Music Festival together in June.

Harry is said to be "very serious about their future together" and are heading towards walking down the aisle—possibly even as early as late summer next year.

We can't wait to see another royal wedding!

Prince Harry's first official visit to Australia was a success.

The red-headed royal stopped by the International Fleet Review in Sydney Saturday, getting a warm welcome from a big crowd (and a 100-gun salute), according to Yahoo! Australia.

Prince Harry, who was on hand to represent the royal family, donned his white British Army uniform and blue beret for the event, which was held to celebrate the 100 years since the Royal Australian Navy fleet first entered the Sydney Harbor.

Following the salute, the prince hopped on a boat to Kirrbilli House, where Prime Minister Tony Abbott, his wife Margie and daughters Bridget and Frances greeted him.

The Australia visit is just the latest of Prince Harry's royal duties.

Kensington Palace announced Friday the 29-year-old royal will visit and officially open the Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London Oct. 17.

Prince Philip Meets Prince George for First Time During Royal Baby's First Holiday

AP Photo/PA, Dominic Lipinski

Time to meet great-grandpa!

Prince Philip reportedly held his seven-week-old great-grandson Prince Georgefor the first time Sunday. The 92-year-old great-grandfather was the only senior royal who had not been introduced to Prince William and Kate Middleton's bundle of joy as he has been recovering from exploratory abdominal surgery.

According to U.K. Mirror, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed at Aberdeen airport yesterday afternoon with their son before they were taken by car to Balmoral Castle, where the family met with an elated Prince Philip at the Queen's residence on Royal Deeside.

The family trip marked the first holiday for William and Kate since their son's arrival on July 22.

"This was an incredible moment for Philip," a royal source told the Mirror. "He has been desperate to meet his great grandson and having the family together is really special for him."

The new parents have been both been busy since the birth of their son.

Last week, Middleton looked radiant in a dazzling metallic Jenny Packham gown at her first red carpet appearance since giving birth, and she made her first post-baby public appearance at the Ring O'Fire ultra-marathon in Anglesey in late August.

William most recently revealed that, after seven years of military service, he will be leaving the Royal Air Force to focus on his royal duties and charity work.

And the palace also announced that the royal couple and their son—who have been living atMichael and Carole Middleton's Bucklebury Manor—"are expected to move into their official residence at Kensington Palace within the next few weeks."

"This has been a very busy time for the Duke and Duchess," the Mirror source continued. "They have always been determined to introduce George to Philip as soon as possible, but there just hasn't been the time until now."

"This will be a very special holiday for them all," the insider added.

An iconic photograph featuring Queen Elizabeth II, son Prince Charles, grandson Prince William and Prince George is also expected to be taken at the family meet and greet.

The picture is said to be first time three direct heirs to the throne will be in the same photo in more than a century.

"Everyone has been waiting for this photo to be taken and of course the Duke of Edinburgh has been looking forward to seeing his great grandson," the royal source told the Mirror.

Can't wait to see the special moment!

Prince William and David Beckham: Get a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Their PSA!

Kristian Schmidt for WildAid

What a duo!

Prince William and David Beckham collaborated to film a public service announcement on illegal wildlife products on Thursday, Sept. 12 in London. 

The PSA, which is raising awareness about reducing the demand for both rhino hair and ivory, will be seen later this year, according to a press release from WildAid. 

But while we wait to see the final product, there are several behind- the-scene pics from the shoot!

In one photo, standing against a white background, the Duke of Cambridge and Becks look very dapper, sporting dark suits.  The new dad is wearing a light-blue dress shirt with a red and blue stripped tie while the retired soccer star chose a white dress shirt and a dark blue tie. The two are looking at each other, and David is cracking a smile.

Wonder if William cracked a joke?

Kristian Schmidt for WildAid

The Duke of Cambridge and Becks were also joined by former NBA star Yao Ming. 

Talk about a major height difference!

Kristian Schmidt for WildAid

"At the root of the illegal wildlife trade is the demand for products that require the deaths of tens of thousands of these animals every year, pushing them further towards extinction," William said.

Just hours after William recorded the PSA, he and Kate Middleton attended the inaugural Tusk Conservation Awards, where the new mom made her first red carpet appearance since welcoming Prince George.

Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Anglesey Home for Rent: All the Details of Their Royal Abode—And How It Can Be Yours!

Indigo/Getty Images; Bing

Ever dreamed of living like a royal? Well, here's your chance!

E! News has confirmed that Prince William and Kate Middleton's Anglesey home is available to rent now that the new parents are going to live in their newly renovated apartment in Kensington Palace with their newborn baby boy Prince George.

So what are the deets on this iconic landmark (besides it being Will & Kate's love nest)?

Lord and Lady Meryick own the posh estate, on the Isle of Anglesey, and William and Kate rented the Bordorgan Home Farm during the first years of their relationship. The royal couple were great friends with the Meryicks, who often invited them for Sunday lunch if they were staying at the Hall.

Tim Rooke/Rex / Rex USA

A source tells E! News, "The house was originally intended for Sir George Meryick's son but he moved along the coast when Prince William and Kate moved in. It's an absolutely beautiful spot, it's breathtaking up there. It has access to a private beach which nobody else could reach, onto the estuary...You could see the water from the bedrooms on the first floor, which look over the top of the outbuildings.
