The event was a benefit for one of the Prince’s late mother’s charities and Giada told Extra it was “one of the biggest highlights” of her career.

As expected, the main course consisted of one of the most popular and traditional Italian dishes–vegetable lasagna.

The royal wedding of the year, decade and possibly the century is scheduled to take place this Friday, April 29. That’s the day Prince William and Kate Middleton are scheduled to exchange vows, taking Britain’s most eligible bachelor officially off the market.

Several members of the Royal Family have become known for their charitable and sustainable initiatives and Prince William and Catherine will more than likely follow this lead. PETA India has already petitioned the couple to begin their marriage in an animal-friendly manner, by sending them wedding garments crafted from animal-free silk.

Kate Middleton Could Use Peace Silk Wedding Fabrics

Kate Middleton

With Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s wedding approaching soon, many fashion enthusiasts are speculating about the details of the dress.

The UK Daily Mail predicts it will be silk and raises questions about the ethics of such material.

If you’re the extra sensitive vegetarian who puts the ladybug you find on the organic strawberries outside in the grass or still feel guilty that harvesting plants inadvertently kills insect and rodents, you of course treat silk like leather, wool and fur, where the worms that produce it are usually boiled or roasted while inside the cocoon. One figure estimates there are 6,600 worms killed for every kilo of silk harvested.

But there is an alternative and perhaps Middleton will take advantage of it.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are breaking a long tradition in royal weddings that some are speculating has something to do with influence of animal rights groups.

According to Hello Magazine, Kate will travel by car to the ceremony instead of the traditional horse-drawn carriage. Royal brides have arrived via Glass Coach since the early 1900s.

The Telegraph has noted this could also be for security reasons, but it suggests animal welfare could have played a part in the decision.

What are your thoughts?

Is the Royal Family making up for the fur hat the Queen wore during this past Christmas services?

Most fashion, wedding and gossip columnists will have advice for Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s upcoming wedding in April. But the Telegraph’s Tamsin Blanchard has taken planning a step further from genre of flowers, dress design and cocktails.

Imploring the Prince and his fiancee to have a green wedding, Blanchard suggests a vegetarian lunch for the banquet, eco-friendly gowns and other dress by designers like Emma Watson and leather-free shoes from Stella McCartney.

These items are a start, but green weddings can go beyond food and fashion. The venue choice, for example, can cut down on car emissions, electricity and other energy used.

Nicole Lapin has discovered she could be television double for Kate Middleton, fiancee of Prince William and the future Queen of England.

This got the vegetarian journalist and television anchor thinking about what she would do if she had were Queen for a day…or a little longer. Some vegans would make everyone eat egg, butter and dairy-free brownies. Lapin just wishes for England to return to its historic roots of eating cucumber sandwiches, citing, “Meat is way too expensive.”

The idea of sticking a cool cuke between two slices of bread may sound dull and boring, but add some vegan cream cheese, sprinkle a dash of pepper and garnish with mint, parsley or watercress and you’ve turned a stiff and stuffy sandwich into one worth stuffing in your mouth, like Vegan Yum Yum did.

Prince Harry Visits Barbados - Day 3

Prince William and Prince Harry were saddened by the loss of their pet polo pony, Drizzle, recently, when the horse suffered a heart attack and collapsed during a game of the sport.

According to the Daily Mail, Harry noticed the horse wasn’t running like it normally did, so he pulled it out of the game and it died shortly thereafter.

Although some estimate a horse’s life span to be 30-35 years of age, Drizzle was only 10.

According to PETA UK’s blog, Animal Writes, like horses and the American Kentucky Derby, the sport and the animals often don’t mix well and injuries to the ankles are common due to the fact horses are required to make numerous sharp turns and sudden stops.

Royals Attend Christmas Day Service At Sandringham

Today is Prince William’s birthday.

You may or may not care, depending on your fan meter, but you should know that his grandma wants to make the Royal Palace a little more green.

After meeting with First Lady Michelle Obama, where some scandalous touching took place, The Queen and Mrs. O hit it off. Queen Elizabeth has decided to follow her friend’s latest trend and plant organic vegetables in a 40 acre lot in the back of the Palace.

The garden will have runner beans, leeks, beetroot, and an endangered variety of climbing French beans called Blue Queen.

This will be the first time since World War II that plants have been grown at the Palace.

Mrs. Obama recently broke ground for the White House garden and last week invited local children to harvest and eat lettuce and snap peas.
