So handsome!

Check out this previously unseen portrait of Prince William and Prince Harry, taken in 2006, which was unveiled to the public today for the first time (above)!

Photographed by Fergus Greer, the portrait was taken for the 2007 commemorative concert for their mother, the late Princess Diana, but it was never officially published! Starting February 7th, it will be displayed in the National Portrait Gallery!

We love that they chose a casual look for the photo!

But then again, those two would look good wear just about anything, so we suppose it doesn't really matter!

LOLz!

Thoughts??

We knew that there would be some justifiable backlash!

Not everyone is thrilled that the Kardashian family received a commemorative key from to the city of Beverly Hills from Mayor Jimmy Delshad on 9-02-10 day, including members of the City Council and former Beverly Hills mayors!

Councilman John Mirisch claims that Delshad did not consult with everyone before making his decision to award the honor to the reality TV family, and calls it an "abuse of the city's highest honor."

He continues:

"The awarding of anything that looks like a key gives the false impression that this is the real key to the city."

His sentiments were matched by former mayor Linda Briskman, who wrote:

"I was truly ashamed to hear that you all were even considering giving the key to our city to the Kardashian family on 9-02-10 Day. With all the great families in the city, they could hardly be first on the list."

Ha! We can understand why some would be pretty peeved!

But that's La La Land for you!

What do U think?? Was the mayor wrong to give the Kardashians a key to the city?
