Royal Family

Pippa Middleton's wedding is hours away, and by the looks of it ... she'll be harder to get to this weekend than Queen Elizabeth.

Security at the Middleton estate is beefed up big time for Saturday's wedding at St. Mark's Church in Berkshire. Surveillance vans, security cameras, and scores of police officers are on the scene.

Although Pippa's wedding to James Matthews -- a millionaire hedge fund manager -- isn't expected to be the worldwide spectacle as her sister's in 2011, it's still getting the royal treatment.

And let's not forget why -- Pippas butt stole the show at Will and Kate's wedding. Ahh, good times!

Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, will stop attending public events in September -- and now you know why #BuckinghamPalace was all over your social media Wednesday night.

Yes, a 95-year-old man no longer "accepting new invitations" warranted the Palace calling an emergency meeting of ALL staffers late Wednesday night -- and declaring a major announcement would be coming at 8 AM, London time.

The world waited with bated breath, and many media outlets tried to scoop the Palace. Some even falsely reported Prince Philip had died.

Look, we're glad Prince William and Prince Harry's granddad is okay -- but like millions around the world ... can't understand why this was a RED ALERT at Buckingham Palace.

Hours after the announcement Prince Philip was promptly seen ... out in public.

Prince William might be royalty, but he's not above a good squirt in the face ... especially when he's on the front lines of a marathon handing out H2O.

William and Kate were at the London Marathon Sunday, being good citizens and handing out water to runners -- and this is the thanks they got.

At least the unknown practical joker had the decency to avoid the Duchess's mug.

We're guessing Will was a good sport about it. He's been known to be a happy-go-lucky future king from time to time.

Now we know Prince William's dance floor secret -- booze fuels those moves!

We got some new video of William cutting it up in a Verbier, Switzerland nightclub, and he clearly knows he's being recorded. Busting a move we'll call "The Prince Wills" ... he repeatedly pointed at the camera with one hand, while clutching his drink with the other.

And that's all while booty shaking ... or as close as he can get to it. At least the drink explains those other moves we saw from this night.

Consider William's altitude ... fully adjusted.

Prince William just got mad props from Luniz for giggin' to their classic Bay Area track.

We got rappers Yukmouth and Numskull out in the Bay Tuesday, where they gave us their take on Wills bustin' out some '90s moves to "I Got 5 on It."

As Yuk puts it, Your Highness looked like he was doing the halfway Humpty -- and no, he definitely wasn't smoking to the unofficial weed anthem.

Either way, Luniz seems impressed.

BEST dance moves from a future King ... EVER ... goes to Prince William in this video.

Wills raised the roof like he was straight outta Buckingham, or just the '90s, during a ski trip to Verbier, Switzerland with some buddies. Kate can rest easy, her Prince was thot-free while starting a personal dance revolution ... around 10:30 PM.

He saved his best moves for "I Got 5 On It" ... but stayed on the floor for some EDM too.

He's still not quite in Prince Harry's class when it comes to partying, but well played, Wills.

Hand him the crown, already.

Prince Harry gave Jamaica a taste of his royal physique ... which included his abs.

Harry and his GF Meghan Markle were attending a friend's wedding on the island nation Saturday, and he made sure to show off his toned bod at the beach before jetting off.

Prince William might be first in line to the throne but he was second to finish during a practice sesh for the London marathon.

Will, his wife, Kate, and Prince Harry squared off Sunday for an impromptu 100 meter sprint at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where racers were training for April's 42.195 kilometer run (that's 26.2 miles, if you're wondering.)

Will's got nice form, but still got beat by his little bro. Kate finished last.

Queen Elizabeth might be 90 years old, but she had the eyes of a 20-year-old on Spring Break when she came face-to-face with some shirtless guys ... in skirts.

The Queen got a face full of the dudes in traditional Fijian grass skirts during an exhibition in England. That smile screams ... Fuel up the jet, Jeeves! We're going to Fiji!

Prince Harry doesn't want kids in the UK to go without a roof over their heads ... so he's popping a squat and breaking a sweat to make sure that happens.

Harry went into full workout mode Thursday with members of The Running Charity in London -- an org that raises money and helps homeless youths find housing and stability.

He's clearly serious about the cause ... as seen in his impeccable form. Well done.

Prince William's back in uniform and saving lives! Just another day for the future King of England.

The Duke of Cambridge was back at work after a holiday break as an air ambulance pilot ... landing the chopper at a hospital in Cambridge. William -- who previously flew for the RAF -- ain't just a flyboy. He also helped medics transfer the patient to an ambulance.

Prince Harry has been dating actress Meghan Markle since the summer ... but they've escaped the lenses of London ... until now.

The Sun snapped Harry for the first time Tuesday night with his new American TV star GF, where he reportedly snagged tickets to a play at the last minute.

We're not surprised Meghan got the royal treatment for their date night. Quite frankly, anything less would be ... rubbish.

Rihanna and Prince Harry teamed up to get pricked ... and all for an excellent cause.

The pop star and his royal highness are on a mission in Barbados, RiRi's native land ... bringing awareness on World AIDS Day. They happily demonstrated how easy it is to get tested.

Prince Harry has waved his scepter and spoken from the throne -- he wants the media to cut the crap when it comes to speaking ill of his new TV star girlfriend ... NOW.

Britain's prince issued a statement from Kensington Palace Tuesday saying a wave of recent harassment onto his new bird, Meghan Markle has finally crossed a line ... and he's had enough.

In the statement, Harry says Meghan's been subject to front page smears, sexism and outright racism in national newspapers and other media outlets ... not to mention feeling the wrath of "online trolls."

The statement goes on to say Harry is concerned for Meghan's safety and feels he hasn't been able to protect his new girlfriend, who's on the USA show, "Suits." He wants everyone involved to "pause and reflect" before any more damage is done.

Prince George got smushed as he left Canada ... in the super cutest of ways.

Georgie was about to take flight as he and the fam left the country and pressed his nose against the plane window on the way out.

He definitely wins by a nose.

William and Kate make a good family ... period.

The brood -- with Charlotte in the air and George secured by mommy and daddy -- arrived at Victoria Airport to begin their Canadian tour.

They were greeted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Trudeau.

Now that's a contest ... hotter couple.
