The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Royal Marsden in Sutton, Surrey to open the Oak Centre for Children and Young People – a new cancer ward for the hospital.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were met by a waiting crowd as they drove up to the medical facility where people lined the balconies to get a glimpse of the royal couple.

The Duchess wore a simple cream colored Amanda Wakeley dress with her LK Bennett nude heels. The Duke, who donned a navy suit, removed his jacket once inside and the couple sat with 14 year-old patient Digby Davidson on his bed chatting.

“William was joking about Digby’s flip flops and shorts – he said he had a tropical theme that fitted in with the decor,” Digby’s mother, Hermoine Davidson said.

The Prince had the opportunity to reconnect with a cancer patient he met two years ago. Alice Marples, 12, had interviewed William for the CBBC Newsround program and she presented Kate with a bouquet of flowers.

William had a bit of a sleepless night before the event. The future King, who is a search and rescue pilot in the RAF, was on a regular 24 hour shift and carried out a “compassionate call-out” flying a serviceman in from a warship off the Isle of Mann and bringing a casualty in from Snowdonia with a serious head injury.

William was named president of the Royal Marsden Hospital in 2007. His mother, the late Princess Diana, held the title until her death in 1997.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are fending off false pregnancy rumors.

This one, published by Star magazine, claiming the couple, who married on April 29th, are expecting twins.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s representatives at Buckingham Palace responded saying it’s simply not true.

“Suffice to say that were it true, it would be us that announces it, not a gossip magazine.”

When the couple announced their engagment, William said at the time that they want a family, but they are taking things slowly.

“We’ll sort of get over the marriage thing first, then look at the kids. But obviously, we want a family.”

I guess it just isn’t happening fast enough for Star magazine.

Perhaps they think if they print it once a month, it will eventually line up with Kate’s actual pregnancy?

The 28 year-old actress opted for a white embroidered tea length dress from Alexander McQueen Resort 2012 and was just lovely at the event. She accented her look with a McQueen clutch and caramel colored peep toes and kept her hair down with sculpted waves.

Hathaway was asked if she might fancy taking on the role of the Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.

“I haven’t really thought about it before but yes, why not,” she said. “She’s great. It’s such a fairytale.”

Can’t stop obsessing about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge?  Now you can take your unhealthy interest in everything Kate Middleton to an even higher level.   A 2001 VW Golf previously owned by the Duchess is up for auction on eBay.

The blue hatchback was first registered to Kate in November 2001.  She passed it down to her brother James Middleton, who then sold it to a neighbor for $2,300.

That guy, Sonny Brazil, has decided he is going to make bank off this humble vehicle.  He’s offering his car to “pre-approved buyers only” for the not-so-humble starting price of  £20,000.   That’s about $33,000 in US dollars.    Which is a bargain, really, when you consider that the car has been valued at about $48,000 by an auction house in the UK.

Sonny says that he believes that this car “will be the best piece of Royal History anyone could have.”   I don’t know if I’d go that far with it, but it would certainly be fun to give it a spin, just to say you did.

Would you bid on Kate’s car?  Drop a comment and tell us!

Prince William and Kate Middleton stopped in Santa Barbara on their three-day tour of the U.S. to attend a polo match supporting William and his brother, Prince Harry, many charitable endeavors.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hosted The Foundation Polo Challenge at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club which sold tickets for $4000 to see William play polo. The proceeds went to the American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry.

Kate wore an elegant Jenny Packham dress of hand-painted gray chinoiserie silk while William opted for white trousers & shirt with a navy blazer before changing into his polo gear.

In his speech, William joked to his celebrity audience that he wouldn’t be returning to the polo club unless he won in his upcoming polo match,
He said: “In terms of coming back, that depends on the result out there today. I’m not a good loser!”

The Duke also admitted his family were very jealous when they heard he would be playing at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club.
He continued: “My father, The Prince of Wales, and my brother, Harry, were as green as that grass outside when I told them I’d be here today.”

William and his team ended up winning the match 5 to 3 and he won a kiss from his new bride on the podium.
