William & Kate's Latest Decision Just 'Raised A Lot of Eyebrows' at the Palace After He Hired a Divorce Lawyer
William Just Hinted He Also Has Issues With Meghan After Reports He'll Have Harry 'Harshly Dealt With' Once He's KingMeanwhile, King Charles and his siblings attended the Easter Mattins church service at St. George's Chapel, located in Windsor Castle, on April 20. The Royal family in attendance were Princess Anne with her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Andrew with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and Prince Edward with his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
It was reported that William and Kate would not be doing the Royal Easter Tradition on Thursday, April 17. The family reportedly wanted to spend time with their children before they went back to school. 'Everyone understood the family not attending last year when Kate was sick, but there's been a lot of raised eyebrows at the palace about William's decision to skip again this year,' the insider added. 'It feels like a deliberate move and even a snub.'
Everything still looks like it's in paradise for the Wales with the couple's bond stronger than ever after Kate's remission from cancer in January 2025.
However, Buckingham Palace also raised its eyebrows when Prince William recently hired Princess Diana's divorce lawyers. William was regularly using his father's lawyers Harbottle & Lewis and its partner, Gerrard Tyrrell — and made the move to Mishcon de Reya, which represented Princess Diana in her divorce from Charles a year before her accidental death. 'William wanted to strike out on his own,' a source tells the Daily Mail, who broke this news. 'He did not want to continue using his father's lawyers. It's as simple as that. He wants to be his own man.'
The unexpected move has been 'the talk of legal circles' and Buckingham Palace thinks it's 'the latest example of his desire to follow a different path from that of his father.' William's friend told the Daily Mail, saying 'William wants to do things differently from his father, and wants to be seen to do them differently.'

Princess Charlotte and Prince William had father-daughter outing at soccer game in Switzerland
The royal duo attended the final of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 on Sunday. 1:20 Princess Charlotte enjoyed some quality father-daughter time with Prince William at a soccer game in Switzerland. On Sunday, the pair attended the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 final, where England's Lionesses triumphed over Spain in a thrilling penalty shootout. Prince William, in his role as patron of the Football Association, showed his support for the England women's soccer team by attending the high-stakes match at St. Jakob-Park in Basel. The official Instagram account for the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a sweet photo of Charlotte and William smiling together, with the caption, "Let's go, @lionesses! 🏴." Following the win, King Charles III celebrated the team's victory with a congratulatory message. He praised the Lionesses, their manager, and support staff for their triumph at the EUROS 2025. Reflecting on the iconic chant, "football's coming home," he expressed pride that the Lionesses had made those words a reality. "As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration," he wrote in a statement posted on X. "More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms." "Well done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!" the statement concluded. Charlotte's appearance at the soccer game follows a recent surprise outing with Prince George at Wimbledon, where they joined their parents, William and Princess Kate, to watch the final match. A photo shared by Wimbledon's official X account captured the royal family smiling together, with Kate and Charlotte in light summer dresses and William and George in matching suits and ties. July has been a busy month for the family, as they also celebrated George's 12th birthday.

Prince William and Princess Charlotte Share a Sweet Moment Cheering on England's Lionesses to Euros Victory
When England failed to defend a goal against Spain, both William and Charlotte showed visible distress, with William leaning in to share some words with his daughter. They talked animatedly with their Spanish counterparts during the game, enjoying the light rivalry which kept spirits jovial. When the Lionesses sailed to victory, they hugged each other and jumped for joy. Princess William wore a dark suit and subtly patriotic tie, navy with thin red and white stripes. Taking a leaf out of her mother Catherine, Princess of Wales's style book (who, when together, will often share lovely mother-daughter dressing moments), Charlotte opted to re-wear a frill-shouldered, navy polka-dot dress from Guess, which the young royal wore to Wimbledon last year. Kate Middleton often delves into her own archive of elegant tea dresses and structured tailored looks. When she joined the rest of the British royals for the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle most recently, Kate pulled a Self-Portrait dress from her wardrobe that's proven to be quite a favorite. She'd worn the dress for both the 80th anniversary of VE Day and the Platinum Jubilee in 2022. It looks like she's passing that mindful sartorial sensibility down to Charlotte.

She is known as the woman with the ‘world's largest lips'— here's what she looked like before all her surgeries
One too many injections. Spending over $26,000 on lip filler alone will earn you the title of the woman with the 'world's largest lips.' Andrea Ivanova set out in 2018 to alter her appearance by not only getting a wild amount of lip injections — but also chin shaping, enlargement and lengthening, jaw shaping and cheekbone enhancement, according to the Daily Mail. Advertisement 4 Ivanova looks like a real life Bratz doll after all her cosmetic procedures. Jam Press/@andrea88476 By 2022, the Bulgarian woman already had nearly 32 procedures done to make her look like a living Bratz doll. Now, photos of what she looked like prior have surfaced — and the difference is striking. Advertisement 4 Her before pictures are wildly different from what she looks like now. Jam Press/@andrea88476 4 Ivanova before spending thousands on cosmetic procedures. Jam Press/@andrea88476 Although Ivanova is aware that her lack of a love life is most likely due to her overdoing it with cosmetic procedures — that and knowing it's risky doesn't stop her. 'My doctor was afraid to inject more hyaluronic acid into my lips, but I was adamant that I wanted more, and I will not stop,' she said, according to the outlet. Advertisement 'But this time, I wanted to experiment with myself to see how many injections and [amounts of filler] would affect my body.' 4 Doctors once warned the millennial to ease up on all the work she was planning on getting done — but she didn't listen. Jam Press/@andrea88476 Doctors have even warned the social media model that her injection obsession is dangerous — and potentially fatal — but expert advice won't change her mind. In addition to the many alterations to her face — Ivanova has also gone under the knife for a breast augmentation, taking her from a 75C to a 75E bra size. Advertisement As wild as this might sound — Ivanova at least didn't have a procedure gone wrong like one model who claims her butt implants fell out. Chelsea Robinson has apparently spent over $140,000 in total on various cosmetic surgeries. In 2019, the 29-year-old traveled from London to the Dominican Republic to get butt implants. After getting back (and hopefully healed) she was working out in the gym when she felt like something was off. 'My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging,' Robinson told British TV personality Olivia Attwood during a sit-down interview for her UK show 'Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection.' The self-procalimed model said she ended up spending $85,567 on corrective surgeries to fix her booty.
