Prince William steps in over Prince George question at Commonwealth Games | Other | Sport

However, it was at Wales House, the central Team Wales hub, where the family sat down to speak with athletes about the Games, and presenter Jones’ question to the children prompted William to intervene. Princess Catherine revealed that five-time Olympic gold-medal cyclist Dame Laura Kenny, whom the family had just been introduced to, attempted to persuade her and her husband to try their hand at track cycling. She then disclosed her response was: “Be careful what you wish for, as they want to put us on a tandem bike in the velodrome.” Jones then asked all three of the children a question. “Would you like to see mum and dad on a tandem in the velodrome later?” he asked, with only George responding rather promptly: “No.” His son’s blunt reply prompted William to intervene and make a candid admission. He joked: “We embarrass you enough as it is.” Cycling wasn’t the only subject on the agenda during the visit to Wales House. The family also met with twin Welsh gymnasts Abigail and Emily Roper, who …

Catherine looked stunning in an olive-green dress by Emilia Wickstead. She kept her accessories simple, with a pair of brown heels and a brown bag. The future Queen sported glam and glowy makeup, while her hair was styled in her signature loose waves. However, some fans were unimpressed with the colour and fabric of her dress and said that it was not fit for the weekend’s sweltering heat. One user said on Instagram: “It’s kind of a dark colour for a summer dress.” Another one added: “Not a fan of this color for a summery event like Wimbledon but the style is nice.” A third one said, “The colour is not exactly a favourite of mine, but I guess it is tennis related.” A fourth one commented: “I’m confused, another wool dress at Wimbledon… is the UK experiencing a heat wave right now?? Why wool.” A fifth one asked: “I love the dress . Isn’t it a bit warm to be wearing a wool dress in a dark colour?” Others appeared to be huge fans …

Ms Fontanilla later said: “She told me about how Louis was asking her about how to become a ball boy, and we were talking about how much hard work it is to be on court and how we work alongside the ball kids, and it’s just so lovely.” If Louis does eventually fulfil his ambition, however, he should not expect a royal …

Catherine climbed the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – within 24 hours, starting on Saturday evening, to raise money for a cancer charity and “explore life beyond diagnosis”. Alongside a picture shared on social media, Catherine wrote: “I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back.

Princess Kate proves Meghan Markle was wrong with smart move | Royal | News

She dazzled in a bright yellow ensemble. Aside from her royal relatives, Catherine was joined by her own family, as her mother, Carole Middleton and sister-in-law, Alizee Thevenet, were also there. Alizee is married to the princess’s younger brother, James Middleton. The future Queen was seen chatting, kissing and hugging her sister-in-law, in what can be seen as a major contrast to the Duchess of Sussex’s claims about affection within the Royal Family. In her and Prince Harry’s bombshell docuseries on Netflix, Harry & Meghan, the duchess reminisces about donning a casual look and greeting Catherine with open arms: “Even when Will and Kate came over, and I was meeting her for the first time, I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was barefoot.” She explained: “Like I was a hugger, I have always been a hugger. I didn’t realise that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.” “I started to understand that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, that there is a forward-facing way of being and then …
