The Queen is out and about doing some good for a Military Rehab Unit!!

She made a visit to Headley Court in Surrey, Britain's top military rehabilitation center, just to meet and say hello to those who have been badly injured in combat!

She then toured the facility with Prince Philip, opened a refurbished ward and watched amputee patients doing obstacle courses and working out their artificial limbs!

She had never been there before, but we're bet they were glad to see her anyway!

Meeting the Queen for their service must have been uplifting given their current circumstances! We're glad she found time to stop by!!

Prince Philip, the queen's hubby, was taken to a hospital in Scotland as "a precautionary measure."

The palace only said that the 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary without saying anything about

Even though some folks weren't too pleased that NBC decided to withhold the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony in London so they could air it for US primetime Friday night, it certainly paid off…and broke some RECORDS in the process!

That's right, 40.7 MILLION VIEWERS tuned in to watch the Danny Boyle-directed spectacle, marking it the MOST-WATCHED Summer Games opening EVER, and also the MOST-WATCHED NON-U.S. Olympics opener ever!

In fact, the only ceremony it falls behind was that of the 2002 Salt Like City Winter games!

Not too shabby!

And with the AH-MAZINGness that was the James Bond/Queen Elizabeth sketch, we honestly can't say we're too surprised!

If you haven't yet seen this, watch (above)!

As much as we love Prince Harry, we don't think he stands a chance in hell to beat the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, but he wants to try it anyway!

During his official visit to Jamaica next month, part of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, Harry would love to have a practice session with the world record holder of the fastest 100-meter dash.

However,

Decked out in a purple and white uniform, Prince Harry played a game of polo for charity at Cirencester Park Polo Club on Sunday afternoon in England.

The young prince galloped around on his horse and looked to be having a blast as he joked with his teammates and competitors.

His team emerged victorious, which was a much needed boost for the Royal Family since the Queen Elizabeth's horse only took third place at the Epsom Derby on Saturday.

The number 1 polo player must be practicing his skills to take on his brother, Prince William, this Sunday in another charity match where we'll find out if he's as good as his uniform says he is. Ha!
