February 10, 2011 -- It appears that Prince William is stealing fashion headlines from his bride-to-be. Turns out he may not be waiting for Kate Middleton at the altar in his Royal Air Force uniform after all. Queen Elizabeth II announced today that William has been appointed Colonel of the Irish Guards. His new honorary post means that the Prince may be wearing red instead of Air Force blue for his wedding at Westminster Abbey. The ceremonial uniform for the army division is a bright cherry-colored jacket with black slacks, sometimes topped with a bearskin hat and a gold leather chinstrap. Let's hope William forgoes the headpiece for something a little more regal on April 29th. Take a look here at how the ceremonial dress uni comes together for one member of the Irish Guard.

There was no sign of William at his fiancée's very public meal with her stepmother-to-be on Wednesday. Kate and Camilla hunkered down for a lengthy lunch at a chic London hotspot accompanied by Kate's sister Pippa and Camilla's daughter Laura. On the menu: some advice from Camilla, and mysterious talk of trumpets. Get all the details from ABC News.com right here, plus Nick Watts' report for Good Morning America.
