HRH William and Kate and ... Harry!

Pottering around the bustling food hall at Marks & Spencer
in Kensington High Street, West London, on Tuesday night, Prince Harry was like any other twenty-
something popping in to pick up a bite to eat on the way home from work.

A packet of juicy steaks, some ready-made rocket salad, Cheddar cheese and an Oakham chicken: the
third in line to the throne was clearly not cooking for one.

Back at home — ‘home’, of course, being the lofty environs of Kensington Palace just across the road
— were his brother, Prince William, and sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge, waiting for supper.



The closeness of the royal trio has become something of a talking point in recent weeks, after a series
of photographs showed them joined at the hip, whispering and giggling everywhere from the balcony
at Buckingham Palace during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee to the Olympic equestrian arena in Greenwich.

Indeed, some of the shots have even led to debate here and abroad — particularly in some of the more
breathless U.S. gossip magazines — as to how ‘appropriate’ their relationship is. ‘Royal love triangle!’
gasped Star magazine, before claiming that Kate and Harry’s ‘painfully inappropriate flirting’ has led to
a showdown between the Duchess and her husband — or, in the words of the magazine, a ‘blow-up
between the newly-weds’.

Even The Times this week labelled Harry a ‘royal gooseberry’ and likened him to Owen Wilson’s
character in the hit film You, Me And Dupree, in which Wilson’s best man character stays on as a
houseguest with newlyweds Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson, much to the couple’s annoyance.
