Royals mark Prince William's birthday by sharing photo
King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked Prince William's birthday by sharing a photo of the royal on the Royal Family's Instagram and X profiles.
The monarch, 76, and wife Camilla, 77, posted the snap of the future king kneeling in a field on Saturday as William turned 43, with the image also shared earlier this year during his visit to farmland owned by the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath.
Charles and Camilla captioned the snap, which showed William smiling as he sat on a rock wall: "Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!"
The caption was followed by a balloon and confetti emoji to mark the celebration.
William has also marked his 43rd birthday with a furry celebration - posing for a new photograph alongside four black cocker spaniel puppies.
"It's a very happy birthday," he said in a caption alongside a snap of him with his pets posted on his and wife Catherine's Instagram page.
He added: "Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies."
The photograph, taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, earlier this month at Windsor, was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official social media accounts on Friday morning.
It showed the Prince of Wales surrounded by the playful pups, who were revealed last month by The Sun to be the offspring of the family's pet spaniel Orla.
The photo was posted with a caption featuring the initials of the couple's children - Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - along with Orla.
The new additions to the royal household were born earlier this year, although their names - and the identity of their father - have not yet been revealed.
According to The Sun, Orla, who joined the family in 2020, was originally a gift from Catherine's brother James Middleton, 37, a dog breeder who also bred their late dog Lupo and Orla's parents.
A source told The Sun at the time: "Mother and babies are doing well."
The couple's children are said to have quickly bonded with the puppies.
Last year, the Royal Family marked William's birthday by posting a childhood photo of the royal in his father's arms.
Catherine also shared a personal image at the time showing William enjoying time on a beach with their children.
The birthday celebration comes amid Catherine's ongoing return to public life following her cancer diagnosis.
She recently pulled out of her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot, with Kensington Palace confirming her recovery remains the priority.

STM Loves: Luxe Designer Fashion Hire, Plateful Perth, The 7 Stages Of Grieving, Adore Beauty and Re-PLAY
Behind the glass of this Subiaco boutique, there are thousands of dresses: maxis, minis, long-sleeved and strapless, tulle, sequins and everything in between, plus shoes, bags, jewellery and headwear. But it's sustainable fashion with a mission; 100 per cent of the proceeds go to support Vinnies' programs for women, including help for those fleeing family violence. The venture, which stocks designers from Valentino to Aje, Zhivago and Leo Lin, was started by the charity almost nine months ago under the motto of 'women helping women'. Last financial year, Vinnies' emergency helpline took almost 50,000 calls, with almost a third first-time callers. 'There is so much need out there, all sorts of challenges for people in the community, so we wanted to find a new revenue source to help fund, develop and grow our vital programs,' says Zoe Hammond, Vinnies head of designer fashion. There are stylists in-store and four and eight-day hire options. See @luxedesignerfashionhire on Instagram. For the young and the young at heart, this interactive exhibition at The Art Gallery of Western Australia features the playful work of local artist Maxxi Minaxi May. The display has hands-on installations, tactile experiences and bursts of colour to encourage different age groups to work together, and 'challenges the 'greyness' of contemporary life and pushes back against consumerism, schedules and screens'. 'Research highlights the profound impact of multigenerational play and creativity in igniting imagination and deepening relationships with each other and the world,' says Lilly Blue, curator and AGWA learning and creativity research manager. There will also be a special program for the winter school holidays. Re-PLAY runs July 5 until February. See . This month-long event has more than 100 offers to get people into the city in August, with everything from one-night-only premium dining to discounts for great value meals and for the first time, staycation packages with food included. The Premium Plates program includes a Parisian night at Fleur and a six-course Cape to Cape dinner at Cooee, among other high-end restaurants. Sip Sessions offers cocktail classes and guided bar-hopping, Feast involves long-table banquets and chef collaborations and Gourmet Getaways combines a hotel stay with dining. For those on a budget, Bargain Bites has specials for casual dinners and lunches. See . Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company is putting on a season of this groundbreaking play to mark 30 years since it premiered as a radical act of Aboriginal theatre-making. The 1995 play, by writer/director Wesley Enoch and acclaimed actor Deborah Mailman, is told by a single narrator and weaves together cultural knowledge, memories and experiences. Its production by Yirra Yaakin, starring Shontane Farmer and Shahnee Hunter in alternating shows, is the first time the play has been presented by an Aboriginal theatre company. It will be at Subiaco Arts Centre from July 3-12. See . After years of eagerly awaiting their skincare deliveries (and the obligatory Tim Tam), Perth beauty lovers can finally shop in-person, with Adore Beauty opening two stores. The first opened at Westfield Carousel on June 26, with Westfield Booragoon to follow on July 10. More than 90 brands will be on offer, including a dedicated Korean beauty section, haircare, fragrances, local favourites and global names like La Roche-Posay and Dermalogica. Forget hibernating: from July 7 to August 17 the Leederville Precinct will come alive with this annual food, wine and music festival. Over six weeks The Leederville Hotel, The Garden and Sevo will host a tasty array of dinners, tastings, workshops and parties as a way to showcase talented chefs, winemakers and creatives. From an evening of Boombox Bingo, to a decadent Deep Woods truffle dinner to a Stretch and Sip mozzarella masterclass, there is plenty to draw you out of your dressing gown.

Holly Valance splits from husband after 13 years
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Former Neighbours star Holly Valance and UK billionaire Nick Candy are divorcing after 13 years of marriage. Friends told The Sun that the Australian actress and singer had split from her property tycoon husband in recent weeks. Right-wing glamour couple Holly, 42, and Nick, 52, were last photographed together in March, heading out for lunch in London. A family friend said: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. The pair were going through a 'difficult period'. Picture:'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' Holly Valance and Nick Candy have split. Picture: Ricky Vigil/GC Images Nick, who is the treasurer of Nigel Farage's Reform, met Holly in 2009 and proposed two years later. They married in 2012 in a £3million California ceremony in front of 300 guests, including Simon Cowell. Holly found fame on Neighbours as Felicity 'Flick' Scully before launching a career as a pop star. Her 2002 debut album Footprints spawned three hits, including Kiss Kiss, which went to No 1. Nick started his property business with brother Christian in the early 1990s while working in advertising. They met back in 2009. Picture: Neil Mockford/GC Images The pair now have a vast portfolio, including One Hyde Park — made up of 86 luxury apartments in central London — worth just over £1billion. Last year, Nick announced he had shunned his Conservative Party membership in favour of Reform. He was appointed as the party's treasurer in December and pledged to raise tens of millions for Mr Farage, including giving a seven-figure sum himself. Holly has become a high-profile figure in right-wing politics. She visited US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 with her husband and Mr Farage. She also attended former Tory PM Boris Johnson's wedding in 2021. She first appeared in Neighbours back in the early 2000s. Picture: Supplied And she is credited with encouraging Mr Farage to run for Parliament. On her political views, she said last year: 'Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are.' A spokesman for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.' This article originally appeared in The Sun and was reproduced here with permission.

David Beckham recovering at home after wrist operation
David Beckham is at home and recovering after his recent hospitalisation. The 50-year-old football star recently underwent surgery to repair a broken wrist he suffered more than 20 years ago while playing a friendly for England against South Africa. He was forced to have surgery this week after an X-ray showed a screw that was used to patch up the problem at the time had embedded in his forearm after it did not dissolve properly. However, Beckham is recovering well and has been gardening with his wife Victoria. She shared a video of him checking out the cucumber haul from their garden and wrote: "Overperforming on the cucumber front Sir David." In the video, Beckham is casually dressed, with his injured arm wrapped up and encased in a sling. A source previously told The Sun newspaper of Beckham's injury: "David has been in pain for years but thought nothing of it. "He just kept going until, in recent months, it became quite unbearable. "A routine scan showed that the pin which was meant to have dissolved, hadn't - so he was booked in to finally resolve the issue all these years later. "Victoria was at his bedside post op and all went well. He's in great spirits." Beckham was knighted in King Charles' Birthday Honours earlier in June for his services to sport and charity, and declared himself as "incredibly humbled" by the accolade. Beckham - who has children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven with Victoria - said: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. "To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true."
