Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine Middleton, is reportedly getting training from Queen Elizabeth II as they both prepare for her Diamond Jubilee.

Kate will be expected to appear at various events this year, as the Queen celebrates a total of sixty years on the throne. Kate did her first solo appearance earlier last week at the National Portrait Gallery and it appears that the Queen has grown some fondness for her!

A courtier said, “The Queen has developed a great affection for Kate and wants her to feel fully supported. She knows how big a step carrying out official duties will be for Kate and has offered to have regular meetings to make sure she feels prepared.”

The source went on to reveal, “The Queen is taking a very close interest in the Duchess’ development. The engagements they will carry out together promise to be invaluable learning opportunities for Kate, as well as being a real honor.”

Lady Gaga performed for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance and afterward had the opportunity to meet the Queen.

She had to tone it down for the performance and only wore a red PVC dress and eye glitter.

Lady Gaga said, “I wanted to do the suicide scene I did at the MTV Awards but I was told it wouldn’t be appropriate. And not only has that been vetoed, but I have to tone down my act generally. But all of that doesn’t matter because I’m a massive fan of the Queen – I was so excited and have even been practicing my curtsy.”

She performed her new ballad “Speechless” at the Opera House. She added, “When I first came up with what I was doing, I said, ‘Oh my f***ing God. It’s fabulous, I hope the Queen likes it.” (continue reading…)
