AnswersAnswers
  1. It was Eugenie, in a skirt more than two inches above the knee on Tuesday. Her sister Beatrice and cousin Zara passed muster. Harry did not attend the races.Click NEXT to see Eugenie's outfit.
  2. It's Sir Edmund Hillary. Membership of the order - the pinnacle of the honours system - is limited to the monarch, the Prince of Wales and up to 24 others, including all ex-prime ministers.
  3. It's Stephen Hawking. Britain's most famous scientist has criticised the government's "disastrous" cuts to research funding, adding that he first turned down a title more than a decade ago. Meanwhile, Brucie once again missed out on a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday honours. And the TopShop boss is already a Sir.
  4. It's "pathetic" - as guest co-host of the chat show The View on Thursday, the audience giggled as she apparently described her husband as "sweet and pathetic" - she demurred that she'd said he was "sweet, empathetic". Click NEXT to see the fist bump with which she greeted her fellow hosts.
  5. The RPI - retail price index - was 4.9% in 1988, the year the economy started to struggle after a boom period. It quickly rose to 7.8% 1989 and 9.5% in 1990. CPI - the measure which gives us 3.3% today - did not start until 1996.
  6. Simon "History of Britain" Schama took dinner with the President at 10 Downing St on Sunday. Among the other historians in attendance were Martin Gilbert (Holocaust), David Cannadine (aristocracy) and Alistair Horne (Kissinger's biographer).
  7. It's a football... and a stainless steel coffee mug. Earlier in the video he is seen phoning up Bono - who is mid-concert - to show off his Guitar Hero II skills. Another segment has him playing with fantasy war figures. But there is no sign of a rival company's music player.
