Apr 19th, 2011 at 4:30PM: Prince William may be losing his hair, but it seems a bit presumptuous to assume that he's lost his mojo, as well. But that won't stop Scottish craft brewer BrewDog from releasing Royal Virility Performance on April 29th. The world's first beer to be enhanced with Viagra, the 7.5-percent ABV India Pale Ale also contains purported natural aphrodisiacs Horny Goat Weed and chocolate, as well as "a ...

Apr 13th, 2011 at 4:00PM: So, you weren't invited to the Royal Wedding. While you won't get to sit next to the Beckhams or drink tea with the Windsors for the big event, you can still experience the best of London (without worrying about your face appearing in Page Six's 'what were they thinking?' layout of wedding fashion gone wrong).
Ian Steiger, Head Concierge of the historic DUKES LONDON in St. James's and the ...

Apr 6th, 2011 at 8:00AM: Way back in January we posted a story about the possibility of Britain's Prince Harry going to the North Pole as part of a fund raising effort for charity. While the prince won't actually be heading to 90ºN as predicted, he did embark on an Arctic trek this week with a team of disabled veterans from the U.K.
After a number of weather delays, Harry and the rest of his group, were finally ...

Feb 19th, 2011 at 10:00AM: I don't know about you, but I'm already sick of the royal wedding. Something about hard-drinking aristocrats getting married on television while the peasants gawp upsets just about every sense of justice and decorum I have.

The much-anticipated royal wedding is now less than three months away. We didn't receive a coveted save-the-date fax, so it's safe to say we won't be sitting between Elton John and Sarah Ferguson at Westminster Abbey on April 29.
That's OK, though – there are plenty of other ways to celebrate the Wedding of the Century without all the excessive bowing and curtsying. In the same ...
