London, Nov 21 (ANI): British royal Prince Williams is heading to the Caribbean region for a secret training mission with the Special Boat Service (SBS).

The 26-year-old heir-to-throne will experience how the unit - the Navy version of the Special Air Service - tackles drug runners and pirates.

According to the sources, Williams has flown to Barbados and will spend at least ten days with the SBS.

However, the details of his deployment have been kept a secret for security reasons.

Williams is expected to go on exercise in powerful speedboats used to capture bandits.

SBS troops carry out secret missions in the notorious Caribbean, making daring raids on suspicious vessels and gathering intelligence.

"William will not face a conflict situation," The Sun quoted a source, as saying.

"It's a training mission, not an operational one. It's a first for the Royals and is only possible because he's a trained soldier," the source added. (ANI)

London, Nov 21 (ANI): A Cambridge University magazine, which has a circulation of 5,000, features a page three image of a topless female student. The anonymous student, from Homerton College, was snapped in a black lacy thong and stockings straddling one of the city's historic bridges.

The page three photoshoot was done on Clare College bridge, which goes over the River Cam and is visited by thousands of tourists each year.

The girl agreed to pose for Vivid Magazine's latest edition, which is published by a group of students once a term, reports the Telegraph.

The mag also has a website and features a video of women sitting in a changing room and then playing football.

It is the first time a student has appeared topless in a University publication -and has also caused an outcry.

One student from King's College said: "I can't believe she agreed to pose for the magazine. Everyone has been talking about it. I'm sure she must really regret it now."

Another student, from Clare College, who did not want to be named, added: "Lots of students and professors have seen this. It's a very risky thing to do when you are studying at one of the top universities in the country."

The magazine is distributed to all the university colleges. It has featured "page three" girls before but none have been as explicit. The magazine is largely constituted of comment pieces of a political and satirical nature. (ANI)

Washington, Nov 21 (ANI): As Paris Hilton's publicist has confirmed that the socialite and rocker Benji Madden have called it quits, rumours are making rounds that Prince William might be the 'culprit' behind the split.

The 'Simple Life star' parted ways with the "Good Charlotte" rocker at the beginning of the week after Hilton was snapped partying with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami.

The ex-couple has not been seen together for a week now.

Apparently, Prince William, who spent some time with Hilton while she's been filming her "My BFF" show in London, is being touted as the cause behind the split.

Reports have claimed that Hilton and Madden recently sealed a rumoured six-figure deal to swing by Australia on New Year's Eve to attend the launch party for a new social online networking system, Bongo Virus.

While Paris is booked to be the host of the bash, Benji is set to do the spinning.

However, an insider from the Australian company has revealed that the Royal may have had plans to meet up with Paris to ring in the New Year, which perhaps didn't go down too well with Benji.

"For security reasons, he won't confirm his attendance until just before, but we're told he is pretty keen to meet up with Paris," Fox News quoted the source as saying.

In fact, even Bongo Virus confirmed that Prince William had been invited to the New Year's Eve bash, however, refused to comment further.

A rep for the Royal Family could not be reached.

"We aren't that worried if Benji and Paris don't want to come together. But we know Paris will definitely be there, and we can't wait," said the insider.

A source has said that the ultra-quiet Benji can be kind of controlling, which apparently played a significant role in his split from former fiancee Sophie Monk.

And Benji might have been irked by the growing friendship between Williams and Hilton. (ANI)

London, Nov 21 (ANI): An unseen photo of the Queen wearing flares on a beach in the 70s is all set to go under the hammer at a London auction.

The rare picture shows the Royal smiling on a beach during what is believed to be a foreign tour in the 1970s.

And it is a private collector who is selling the never-before-seen picture at the Colchester auction next week.

"We don't know where or when it was taken," The Sun quoted Auctioneer James Grinter as saying.

An ex-footman's unique album also on sale at the auction is set to fetch 600 pounds.

The album pictures the Queen and Princess Margaret as children and a young Prince Philip looking like Prince William.(ANI)
