Fabulous ball guest Prince Albert

Fabulous ball guest Prince AlbertMonaco's Prince Albert and Princess Charlene were ''fabulous'' guests at a recent charity ball in Yorkshire, North England.

Monaco's Prince Albert and Princess Charlene were "fabulous" guests at a lavish ball.

The newlyweds agreed to attend the Variety Club's Golden Jubilee Ball at Harewood House, Yorkshire, North England, as guests of honour and thrilled organisers with their willingness to get involved in festivities.

Club committee member Diana White told Britain's Hello! magazine: "They were fabulous. We couldn't have asked for more.

"They danced, sang and joined in the auction.

"They had great fun and were really happy and relaxed together. It was their first event in the UK since their wedding and a bit of a coup for the North."

Almost 40 years ago, Albert's parents, Prince Ranier and Princess Grace attended a similar event and the prince told the invited guests he was delighted to have followed in their footsteps.

He said: "39 years ago, my parents attended your ball as your guests of honour, in the presence of Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Michael Caine and Roger Moore.

"With Princess Charlene, we're really moved and happy to be the guests of honour at this Summer Ball.

"I wish a long life to your children's charity and raise my glass to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, to the success of your activities and to the friendship between the United Kingdom and the Principality of Monaco."

The ball raised around 250,000 for the charity.

Times up for The Hour as flagging chat show axed - Herald Scotland

It was supposed to be Scotlands answer to Richard and Judys popular television chat show formula with a heady mix of celebrity interviews, music, fashion and tips on food and drink that would send ratings skyward. However, viewer numbers plunged for The Hour, which began life as The Five Thirty Show in 2008, since it moved to a new evening time slot. Last night the broadcaster announced Tuesdays episode of the daily magazine show was the last barely a month after it had been shifted from its traditional 5pm slot to 8pm due to falling ratings. The decision was so sudden the shows presenters, Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus and Tam Cowan, did not even get the chance to say goodbye to their dwindling band of viewers, which had fallen by 30,000 to only 120,000 per edition since the move to the 8pm slot far short of the 200,000 STV had hoped for. It also caught the shows Twitter page by surprise. A tweet yesterday morning asked people: Any plans for the day ahead let us know! Elizabeth
