Prince Andrew, Duke of York, continued to celebrate his 50th birthday with a glitzy party at Saint James Palace in London. The Prince first started celebrating his birthday last weekend, when he alighted to the Swiss Alps with his daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, as well as his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. This weekend's Saint James affair was attended by the likes of Naomi Campbell and the intriguing Goga Ashkenazi, who, as the former mistress of Timur Kulibayev, is believed to have helped orchestrate the Kazakh's unorthodox purchase of the Duke of York's Sunninghill Park country estate. After the party, mother and daughters hit up Annabel's, the popular Mayfair nightspot, where Eugenie stole the show in a wildly colorful Diane von Furstenberg animal-print dress. It doesn't appear that Andrew's brother, the Prince of Wales, was present at the party. Perhaps he was up all night writing his article for the Daily Mirror, which astutely points out that many young people join gangs in order to feel a sense of belonging. The Prince knows what he's talking about. After all, for more than 30 years his charity the Prince's Trust has helped disadvantaged young adults learn workplace skills.

Meanwhile, Charles's father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was in the news for outfitting his Land Rover with some sort of radar detector. This is all well and good, but can we please back up a minute and acknowledge how disconcerting it is that the nearly 90-year-old royal still drives an enormous S.U.V.?
