Clearly, if there's one thing HRH Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, RAF Flight Lieutenant, Earl of Strathearn and Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter is lacking, its lofty and pinky-raising titles. Ahem.

Well, spare a tear (and maybe some ink) today for the royal stationer, because Queen Elizabeth II just gifted her eldest grandson with another sobriquet for the record books.

Round tables at the ready, everyone…

What with the queen's Diamond Jubilee upon us and last year's royal wedding behind us, it's been a banner year for lovers of pomp, circumstance and all things relating to the Commonwealth.

But the royal family's reveling wasn't without its bittersweet moments, and in their wide-ranging interview with Katie Couric, airing tonight, Prince William and Prince Harry discussed the notable and heavy absence of their late mother, Princess Diana, during the otherwise celebratory time.

Well, if this whole King of the Britons lark doesn't pan out, it's nice to know Prince Charles has a few backup plans.

Having already proven that he's a whiz with a green screen when he delivered the world's poshest weather report earlier this month and made commuters fear for their safety while manning the London Underground earlier this year, the heir to the throne this week tried out his hand at yet another possible avocation: spinning some phat beats.

Talk about a fresh prince. So where, how and dear God why did Chuck turn DJ?

Prince William's a royal, but like any groom, he had his fair share of pre-wedding jitters.

In Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother, a documentary airing in the U.K. on ITV1 this June, William opens up about barely getting a wink of sleep the night before his and Kate Middleton's nuptials last April.

"I hadn't slept at all that night because obviously all the crowds were on The Mall," he says. "They were singing and cheering all night long. So the excitement of that, the nervousness of me, and everyone singing meant I slept for about half an hour."

What else was he anxious about on his big day?

When it comes to wedding fashion, Pippa Middleton sure knows how to turn heads.

The 28-year-old party planner looked stunning in a tight-fitting, raspberry-hued Issa silk dress, paired with a matching fascinator and black pumps as she made her way to longtime friend Camilla Hook's wedding. Hook tied the knot with Sam Holland in East Lothian, Scotland, Saturday, according to the Daily Mail.

And if this dress looks familiar, your mind isn't playing tricks on you.

To be young, beautiful and royal is a feat worth celebrating, and that's just what Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry, along with the sovereigns of 26 countries, did today.

Correction: that's just what the happy trio, with glasses full of celebratory booze, did today. Guess this puts an end to the constant pregnancy talk surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge.

The in-laws were among the noble and otherwise titled masses that convened at Windsor Palace at the behest of Queen Elizabeth, who hosted a luncheon in honor of the milestone that just keeps giving (awesome photo ops), her Diamond Jubilee.

So, which other royals turned up to take part in the festivities?

With all due respect to the purple-loving icon, it looks like the music industry actually is big enough for two Princes.

A music video released today in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee makes good on the promise Prince Harry made on his tour of the Commonwealth countries earlier this year in which he jokingly (or so he may have thought) offered to contribute "just one hit" of the tambourine to "Sing," the song released by British pop star extraordinaire Gary Barlow in honor of the royal grandmother's milestone year of reign.

Well, it was no joke, and we've got the proof.

When it comes to Facebook, who wouldn't want to friend Prince Harry, right?

Well, the redheaded royal tells Katie Couric there's one person very close to him who has yet to do so.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II!

Call it the dog days of spring.

Maybe attending the London 2012 Olympics kickoff last Friday put Kate Middleton and Prince William into a particularly sporty state of mind, because the royal couple, along with Prince Harry,  joined forces Sunday afternoon to participate in a charity polo match in Ascot, England.

Well, Wills and Harry did most of the participating. Kate, on the other hand, cheered the boys on as best she could, despite having her attentions slightly divided...

The games are afoot!

There are only 77 days until the London 2012 Olympics begin (what? You're not counting?), and Prince William and Kate Middleton did their level best to hurry the ticking clock, turning up in the capital city Friday to celebrate the official kickoff to the sporting event with fellow celebs and a hefty portion of Team GB.

The royals got all dolled up in their patriotic finest for the event, rather immodestly dubbed Our Greatest Team Rises. Hey, there's no room for humility when there are gold medals to be won.
