What? Were you expecting a pumpkin and some mice? This is a real life princess, people! Get it together!

All the fine details are coming together as we get closer and closer to Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day, including how the future princess will be making her grand entrance to the church! If it's sunny and clear, Kate will be brought from Westminster Abbey in this 109-year-old State Landau carriage, which was built for King Edward VII and frequently used by Queen Elizabeth when visiting heads of state. If the skies turn to grey and rain looks like it is impending, Kate will ride in the same glass Coach that carried William's mother, Princess Diana, on her wedding day.

We don't want to put it out there, but we must - we really want to see her ride in the glass Coach. There! We said it! We'll take the heat if it rains on their wedding day!

But even if it doesn't, we know she is going to look simply gorgeous no matter what ride she takes!

What a simply marvelous day it is bound to be!

The money problems never seem to end for this woman!

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, is in debt to her personal trainer to the tune of £65,000, but that's not news to her! She seems to spend money without even thinking!

Sarah would order the staff to prepare humongous feasts for she and her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to wash down with vodka and pink champagne, but most of it would go to waste!

She is also in debt to various businesses around the Royal Lodge including the butcher, the dry cleaner, the newspaper agent and the car rental facility. Other debts have accumulated as well owing £200,000 to solicitors, a £51,000 bill at Selfridges and £7,000 owed to society portrait artist Basia Hamilton!

As for Prince Andrew, he's said to be "highly embarrassed" by Fergie's spending habits, specifically the amount she owes to small businesses, since he is a UK ambassador for trade.

Lucky for her, he's going to pay off her debts in the UK!

A source reveals:

"The Duke is not touching her debts in America but his people are going to sit down and itemise every debt here and pay them off one by one. The total comes to around £1.5million."

Another senior royal aide added: "The Duke is very supportive of Sarah Ferguson. He does everything he can to help her."

That's one VERY supportive ex!

To a South African swimmer!

Prince Albert of Monaco
is engaged to Charlene Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer for South Africa. She will be the first crown princess since Grace Kelly's death in 1982.

Pretty big deal considering Albert was a notorious bachelor, causing Parliament to change the constitution in 2002 to allow one of his sisters' sons to take the throne if he doesn't produce an heir!

He does have two children, but they were born out of wedlock so they are not allowed to assume the throne.

Looks like Charlene better get ready to make some babies!

Congrats to the couple!

Wow! It's not knighthood, but it's still a HUGE deal!

Catherine Zeta-Jones received the royal honor being named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday!

The actress says:

"I am absolutely thrilled with this honor. As a British subject, I feel incredibly proud. At the same time, it is overwhelming and humbling. And my mum and dad are delighted beyond belief."

Hells yes! That's a big deal!

And she always manages to be so gracious, too!

Congratulations, bb!
