Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla paid a surprise visit to a sweetshop to stock up on jelly babies during their tour of Northern Ireland on Wednesday. The prince and the Duchess of Cornwall - who are enjoying a two-day tour of the region - picked up a bag of the sugary delights and a packet of throat lozenges, much to the surprise of Ulster shopkeeper Gerald Monaghan.

Britain's Prince Charles plans to open an eco-friendly bed and breakfast in Wales. The prince and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, have applied for planning permission to open up Llwynywormwood, their Carmarthenshire farmhouse, to paying guests.

In a statement that is a blow to British government's sex education policy, a pregnant 14-year-old says having a baby is now regarded as "fashionable" among schoolgirls.

Kizzy Neal is quoted by The Daily Mail as saying, "Teenage girls think babies are cute, but they forget the physical side of being pregnant, then having to give up your own childhood to look after a baby. It seems to be fashionable to get pregnant."
