Palace tells Britney to leave Wills alone
Buckingham Palace has asked Britney Spears to "cool it" in her pursuit of Prince William, according to newspaper reports..
Britney has apparently been bombarding the Prince with notes, autographed pictures and, bizarrely, her CV, claims the Daily Record, .
Officials fear her infatuation with Wills may have turned into an obsession and have been intercepting her little gifts and messages - leaving the US chart-topper furious.
Palace officials, the Daily Record says, have made a "polite and civil request" to Britney's entourage for the star to stop pursuing Wills.
The pair were said to be due to meet last year - but Wills went fox hunting instead.
"The Palace wants to do everything in its power not to embarrass Britney. However, they aren't likely to tolerate this sort of thing much longer without taking more appropriate action," the paper quoted a source as saying.
An official Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "It is not for us to comment, we never comment about gossip."
