William, retour à Kensington

C'est de la fenêtre de sa chambre, au second étage, que William a vu ses premiers hélicoptères. Sous le regard bienveillant de sa mère, le petit prince s'amusait à imiter les grands gestes des officiers au sol guidant les appareils vrombissants qui se posaient sur l'herbe des jardins au nord de Kensington Palace. Dans la bâtisse du XVIIe siècle où il a grandi, résident de nombreux souvenirs. Ceux de ses jeunes et heureuses années, où il faisait le fou avec son frère. Des moments plus sombres aussi, lorsqu'avec Harry mais sans son son père, il y voyait Diana pleurer. William a dû sentir ce soulèvement du cœur, celui des sentiments mêlés, en franchissant le grand portail du château de sa mère. Au lendemain de sa mort, des centaines de milliers de fleurs avaient recouvert le sol devant l'entrée principale. Derrière les murs en briques rouges, d'autres souvenirs devraient revenir à l'esprit de William, à présent qu'il est installé avec son épouse, dans la maison de son enfance.

Murmurée depuis des mois, officialisée au lendemain de leur mariage, l'installation du duc et de la duchesse de Cambridge à Kensington Palace est effective depuis cette semaine. «KP», pour les intimes, est aujourd'hui la résidence officielle à Londres du couple qui continuera toutefois à vivre principalement dans sa maison d'Anglesey, non-loin de la base de la RAF du Pays de Galles où le prince parfait sa formation de pilote d'hélicoptère. Lors de leurs passages dans la capitale britannique, William et Kate partageaient leurs appartements avec Harry à Clarence House. Si la cohabitation s'est toujours très bien passée - quoique Kate est parfois tombée sur des camarades de beuveries d'Harry échoués sur son lit … - le couple à présent marié se devait d'avoir sa propre résidence. Ce n'est apparemment pas l'affection ou le symbole qui ont poussé les Cambridge à Kensington, mais tout simplement la place. Aucune autre demeure londonienne appartenant à la Couronne n'avait suffisamment d'espace libre pour les accueillir. De toute façon, à fait savoir Saint James, ce n'est que «provisoire». Le couple cherche quelque chose de plus grand, probablement pour fonder une famille. Mais peut-être William voudra-t-il élever ses enfants là où lui-même a grandi.

Jours heureux dans les jardins de Kensington

Son père et sa mère se sont installés dans les appartements 8 et 9 du palais moins d'un an après leur mariage. Kensington était un véritable paradis pour leurs enfants. L’énergique William menait son petit frère Harry, alors le plus réservé des deux, dans de grandes expéditions au pas de charge dans les longs couloirs de la demeure. William, puis Harry, allaient à l'école non-loin de chez eux. Aussi souvent que lui permettait son emploi du temps de princesse, Diana amenait les deux petits à pieds à la Wetherby School du quartier voisin de Notting Hill. Après les avoir récupérés le soir, la jeune maman emmenait souvent ses fils dépenser leur argent de poche dans les magasins de Kensington High Street, où elle même faisait les boutiques l'après-midi, pour qu'ils connaissent une vie «normale», et la valeur des choses. Le soir en été, la famille adorait manger des grillades sur la terrasse du toit de leurs appartements. Les jardins alentours étaient également un grand terrain de jeu des garçonnets et de leurs cousins. Et parfois de Diana. Un jour, William et sa mère s'étaient amusés à jouer un tour à la très hautaine princesse Michael de Kent, leur voisine à Kensington (voir encadré). Celle-ci avait fait disposer des pièges pour attraper les chats errants des jardins du palais, qu'elle accusait de perturber ses propres félins, des birman et siamois au pédigrée autrement plus noble. Diana et son fils ainé avaient alors discrètement assuré l'évasion des prisonniers, laissant dans une des cages ouvertes, un chat en peluche... ce qui ne manqua pas de provoquer la fureur de l'épouse du cousin de la Reine.

Emma Watson , the female lead of the Harry Potter film franchise (which is, sadly, coming to a FINAL end next month) is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Vogue

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has cast her magic once again and looks bewitching as a cover girl on the front of U.S. Vogue. The 21-year-old star look spellbinding as she flirts with the camera showing off her pixie haircut and blood red lipstick. With the Hogwarts franchise now behind her, the homegrown talent talks about life after broomsticks and growing up in the spotlight. In the interview, the Brit beauty reminisced about sharing relationship advice with co-star Daniel Radcliffe, saying: ‘We would help each other compose texts to our most recent flames.’ The English rose enjoyed a brief fling with One Night Only frontman George Craig, but has complained that her fame often interferes with her love life as men don’t approach her. Emma also said she struggles to live a normal life, hailing rock legend Patti Smith as her inspiration. Speaking of Patti’s 2010 memoir Just Kids, Emma said: ‘I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti. The book was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it and I felt more hopeful.’ Emma said that playing the role of Hermione was easy, as she is similar to the fictional character. ‘Hermione is so close to who I am as a person that I’ve never really had to research a role. I’m literally rediscovering what it means to be an actress.’ She added: ‘I have felt for the last ten years I have had this battle; I’ve been fighting so hard to have an education. It’s been this uphill struggle. I was Warner Bros’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult.’ But despite her quest for a ‘normal life’, Emma announced she was leaving Brown University in March to defer her course for “a semester or two” while she helps promote the release of the second Deathly Hallows film. She is expected to return in the next academic year this autumn.
