A Microsoft spokesman said: "It is fascinating to see how the next generation of female royals has captured out imagination."William managed to get more hits than his brother Harry and came in fourth place.Meanwhile, Kate joined her royal boyfriend and his younger brother at London's Embassy club on Wednesday night (20.12.06).The royal group, who were accompanied by a gaggle of chums, celebrated the Christmas period in style and were seen stumbling out of the club and clambered into cars looking somewhat the worse for wear.
