GIRL ABOUT TOWN: So Royals do carry cash - and wear on-trend trainers! Stylish Duke of Kent, 81, withdraws wads of £20 notes from an ATM near his Kensington Palace home 

I have proof that the Royal Family does carry cash after all – and rather a lot of it, judging by this picture of the Duke of Kent.

I spotted the Queen's cousin at a common old cashpoint around the corner from his Kensington Palace home withdrawing wads of £20 notes.

I couldn't help wondering if the Duke, 81, might be using the money to fork out on another pair of super-on-trend trainers.

Along with a flat cap, overcoat and plain brown trousers, the duke modelled a pair of very hip New Balance shoes.

It could be that the Duke's granddaughter, Amelia Windsor, 21, has been offering him some tips. 

And while we're talking about the achingly cool young Royal, I can reveal she was signed up by top agency Storm Models on Friday. The agency posted this picture of her with the message: 'So excited to have Amelia join us.'

Storm is where Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell kick-started their careers, and Lady Amelia, 36th in line to the throne, could be on a similar path. 

It certainly should mean the end of her money concerns. Last week, I reported how Amelia, who has been waitressing during her language studies at Edinburgh University, had confided in friends that she couldn't afford to rent in London.

It's official! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a yummy mummy-to-be, brother Toby has confirmed. I reported last week how I suspected the pitter-patter of tiny feet for Rosie, 29, and fiance Jason Statham, 49, but the M&S model's camp went quiet on me when I offered my congratulations. Toby, 25, a personal trainer/model, was more forthcoming. 'Yes, I'm very happy to be an uncle,' he told me. 'I think it's confirmed… isn't it?' It is now!
