Duchess of Cambridge reveals pet name for Prince William

Britain's Duchess of Cambridge called her husband Prince William "babe" at the Chelsea Flower Show in London in the UK.

The 34-year-old wife of the heir to the throne let slip her pet name for her handsome spouse, 33, during a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show in London in the UK.

Garden designer Charlie Albone met the loved-up couple and Prince Harry, 31, at the prestigious event organised by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and told Channel 9's 'Today Show' she overheard their conversation during which the brunette beauty used the familiar term.

She recalled: "I got to meet Prince Will and Prince Harry. Prince William was quite funny actually. He came up and said, 'What [flower] is this one?' and I replied, 'That's a Buxus'.

"Princess Catherine just turned to him and said, 'Babe, we've got those. We've got loads of those.' "

Meanwhile, the Chelsea Flower Show promises "cutting-edge design and visionary gardens" at the Royal Hospital grounds in Chelsea, London, and takes place between May 24 - 28.

Prince William and Catherine's daughter Princess Charlotte - who celebrated her first birthday on May 15 - has been honoured this year with a pink and green chrysanthemum named after her.

And her father - who also has son Prince George, two - joked it would be a far easier name to spell than the original.

He asked Alison and John Peace from the Chrysanthemum Society: "Can you spell Chrysanthemum? I can't even say it".

This year the show includes a photographic exhibition and a floral arch to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Queen, who is a patron of the event.

Approximately 157,000 people will visit the ticketed event over the four days and Jerry Hall, Naomie Harris, Rosamund Pike, Demi Moore and Donna Air all attended the gamorous flower show this week.

Prince Harry gets paper to retract 'Pippa Middleton romance' story

Britain's Prince Harry complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation about a story printed in a UK tabloid newspaper which claimed he "snogged" the Duchess of Cambridge's sister at the Royal wedding in 2011.

The 31-year-old royal made a formal complaint about the story - that linked him to the Duchess of Cambridge's sister - to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) in December and insisted it was "completely untrue".

The content was originally taken from a US magazine and stated the flame-haired Prince had "snogged" the brunette beauty, 32, at the Royal wedding of his brother Prince William and her sister Catherine in 2011 and also claimed the pair had "hooked up" in a bathroom.

However, his complaint was upheld by the IPSO and a retraction printed in the Daily Star newspaper.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry recently returned to the UK from America, where he hosted the second ever Invictus Games in Orlando, Florida.

The royal met servicemen and women who were wounded in battle and wanted to spread his message of how sports can give them a new life.

He also spoke about the "dark hole" that people who have served their country can fall into they return home and suffer from flashbacks.

He told PEOPLE: "Once you're in that dark hole, that slide show is constant, one after the other. Those who do suffer from [flashbacks], we need to be able to help them. It's not a life sentence, far from it. If we're able to talk about it and give them the platform, then great.

"Everyone needs to help and needs to talk about it. The stigma around mental health is a big issue. I don't necessarily have the answers, but I know for a fact that just being able to talk about it early on a huge deal."

She told PEOPLE: "You know, my parents were set up on a blind date so if I could set my sister up ... And Prince Harry's a great guy. I mean, the work that he does with the Invictus Games is so important."

During the interview, she said to Prince Harry: "Does it make you laugh people are already asking about children? It's sort of jumping ahead?"

To which he replied: "I don't even have a girlfriend."

Seizing the opportunity, the 34-year-old news correspondent joked: "You know what, I have a single sister and she feels the same way. Listen, she's available."

Falling into a fit of giggles, Harry said "We can talk off air" and Jenna quipped "Okay, I'll give you her number".

Jenna admitted afterwards she couldn't resist throwing her sister "under the bus" but acknowledged Barbara felt "humiliated".

She said: "I couldn't help, when he said he was single, to throw my sister under the bus - just like sisters do. Frankly, I think that I was doing her a favour ... She was humiliated. But I think she also got a kick out of it. It was a joke because I don't think it's really going to become this match made in heaven. But if it does... I will be happy."

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt divorcing rumours

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are said to be headed for divorce after his alleged affair with Marion Cotillard and intimacy with Lizzy Caplan, reports inquisitr.

The report states that Brad and Angie might follow Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Garner with a possible divorce but keeping the family together.

However, like Affleck and Garner, Pitt and Jolie will reportedly stay civil with one another for the sake of their kids.

There have been multiple reports about Pitt’s alleged affair with his 'Five Seconds of Silence' co-star Marion Cotillard.

Apparently, Pitt and Cotillard have grown close on set and even have affectionate nicknames for one another.

But that's not the only reason for the divorce rumours. It also stems from Jolie's failure to listen to him and get healthy.

As Brad Pitt divorce rumors continue to swirl, reports claim Jolie has dwindled down to just 79 pounds, which could be the result of marital stress.
