Kate's a knockout at Boodles Boxing Ball

*Ding*Ding* We have Kate "Princess in Waiting" Middleton in one corner versus Jessica "The African Queen" Craig in the other! Who are you putting your money on?

The Boodles Boxing Ball raised £120,000 for the Starlight Children's Foundation, but I think they would have doubled their money if Kate and Jecca had been inside the ring instead of in the audience that night! Kate attended on the arm of Prince William and Jecca was there to cheer on entrepreneur boyfriend Hugh Crossley as he boxed for charity.

The ball was held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in central London on Saturday to raise money for Starlight Children's Foundation. The Foundation uses the money to brighten the lives of seriously and terminally ill children in order to take their minds off the pain, fear and isolation of their illness. During the match, a total of 8 high-society volunteers (6 men and 2 women) battled blow for blow to raise £120,000 for the charity.

This £100-a-pop black tie event drew close to 800 guests, including Prince William and Prince Harry along with their girlfriends. Participants in the boxing match included James Mathias, James Meade, Al Poulain, Bronwen Foster-Butler, and Carlotta Newbury.

Kate Middleton managed to pull off her peach Issa dress without any fashion gaffes and Chelsy Davy looked gorgeous in a dark blue gown. Prince William was dressed to the nines in a black tuxedo and Prince Harry was decidedly more casual, with his jacket off and white shirt unbuttoned. How hellacious!

Organizer Charlie Gilkes said, "It was a perfect evening – it had a bit of everything. It all started quite calmly and quite serious. But when the boxing started it turned raucous."
