KATE Middleton's mum Carole Middleton pulled out of a publicity drive for her business because she didn’t want to be “insensitive” to Prince Philip. After liaising with Prince William and Kate , she asked publishers of Good Housekeeping magazine not to promote her cover interview because she didn’t want to upset the royals whilst the 99-year-old remains in hospital.

I want my wedding to be as cheap as possible, my ring came from lost property and I’m getting wed in a baggage unit
ANYONE who’s ever planned a wedding will know that budgets are very important - and for this bride it’s the lower the better. Cabin crew Stephanie, from Texas, is engaged to fiance Jimmy, and she will stop at nothing to make sure she gets the best price for her wedding. Stephanie, who appears on TLC’s Extreme Cheapskates, is not just tight when it comes to her wedding, with the bride-to-be living a very frugal lifestyle.
