Just over a week after the second and third in line heir to the Australian throne jetted out, the Orstaylians, Kiwis and solemn Anzac commemorations at 5.30am in Canberra long forgotten (at least the palace didn’t hand out a detailed fashion list that day), William and Harry flitted over to Memphis for the celebrity wedding of a close and obviously very rich friend and his heiress (Holiday Inn) bride, no sign of Kate or George. On 13 May, a bevy of “British celebrities arrived at Windsor Castle for a gala dinner hosted by the Duke (also sans Duchess) for a medical charity sponsored by Ralph Lauren who attended with his family. The event drew actors, Emma Watson, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Helena Bonham Carter and models, Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne.” Both events were widely covered in the gossip mags all over Europe. Last WfaAR knew, Cate B was Australian. A few days later, Wills handed out the winner’s trophy at the FA Cup Final.
