Prince George is spitting image of Prince William in 12th birthday photo
The eldest son of Prince William and Princess Kate is turning 12, and to celebrate, his parents are sharing a snap of him looking like a mirror image of his father.
In the photo, posted to Instagram July 22, George is all smiles, leaning over a wooden fence with lush greenery in the background, sporting a blue and white button-down shirt and chocolate brown zip-up vest. His honey blond hair and smile look similar to a young Prince William who, like his son, has been in the public eye since birth.
The image, captioned, "Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! 🎂" was taken by celebrity photographer Josh Shinner.

Prince Harry says he's 'exhausted and overwhelmed' after returning home to UK
George is the eldest of William and Kate's three children, followed by Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. They represent the next generation of royals, along with Prince Harry's and Duchess Meghan's own brood, which includes Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
While fascination remains fervent around the children of both Princes Harry and William, it remains to be seen how salient the royal institution will remain as they age toward the monarchy. Already, relations are strained after Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties and swapped life in the U.K. for the hills of California following a bitter family dispute.
Back across the pond, Queen Camilla, King Charles III and Princess Kate have all faced separate health battles that limited royal engagements, an increasingly important part of royal life as the centuries-old institution hopes to prove itself still valuable to a restless and evolving British public.

‘Eddington' actor Micheal Ward charged with rape and sexual assault in U.K.
British actor Micheal Ward, known for the Netflix series 'Top Boy' and and most recently Ari Aster's movie 'Eddington,' is facing charges of allegedly raping and sexually assaulting a woman in the United Kingdom in 2023. London's Metropolitan Police announced in a Friday statement that prosecutors had charged BAFTA winner Ward, 28, with two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault following an investigation into an alleged January 2023 incident. The statement did not provide details about the incident, including the location and the identity of Ward's accuser. 'Our specialist officers continue to support the woman who has come forward — we know investigations of this nature can have significant impact on those who make reports,' Det. Supt. Scott Ware said in the statement. Representatives for Ward did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment Friday. The actor is due to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court in London on Aug. 28. Ward, who was born in Jamaica, broke into acting less than a decade ago, appearing in the British drama series 'Top Boy' and rapper Rapman's 2019 film 'Blue Story.' He won BAFTA's rising star award in 2020. That same year he appeared in 'The Old Guard' opposite Charlize Theron and in Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' miniseries. His movie credits also include Sam Mendes' 'Empire of Light,' 'The Book of Clarence,' 'Bob Marley: One Love' and 'The Beautiful Game.' He currently stars as a young police officer in 'Eddington,' the latest film from 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' filmmaker Aster.

Taylor Swift tells fans this new movie is a '13/10' must-watch
Taylor Swift is giving an outstanding movie review for boyfriend Travis Kelce the day after he hard launched their two-year relationship on his Instagram main grid. The Eras Tour singer posted a photo of the movie poster for Adam Sandler's golf hero sequel on her Instagram story on July 25 and wrote, "Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible 🍯." Kelce makes an appearance alongside another celebrity bringing his star power to the highly anticipated sequel: Bad Bunny. Swift hasn't endorsed a movie since she encouraged fans to watch the Zoë Kravitz movie "Blink Twice" in August of last year. At the July 21 movie premiere, Adam Sandler – who attended the 2023 Eras Tour movie premiere with his daughters – was asked by an Extra reporter if he considered a Swift cameo. "We didn't want to bother Taylor," Sandler replied. "We just let Taylor entertain the world as she does. I listened to 'All Too Well' three times in a row today with my kid. She's done a lot for our planet, so we love her." 'I didn't practice at all': Stars Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald dish on filming What happens to Travis Kelce in 'Happy Gilmore 2?' Kelce made an appearance in "Happy Gilmore 2" as a restaurant manager who is something of a bully to his subordinate "Oscar," played by singer and entertainer Bad Bunny. Kelce is in a pair of scenes in the movie, but the more notable one features Bad Bunny's character going to his happy place, where he slathers honey over a half-naked Kelce, who is tied to a post. Kelce is then left to be devoured by a bear in the fantasy sequence. Earlier, Kelce chest-bumps Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa through a restaurant table. Feeling so high school On July 24, Kelce posted 13 photos from the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp on Instagram. "Had some adventures this offseason," he captioned the carousel. Highlights included ice skating with Swift, boating with his dad Ed Kelce, hanging out with his mom Donna and brother Jason Kelce, attending Tight End University in Nashville and belting out karaoke at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe. The post gave fans a rare peek into the couple's romantic moments. "Just casually sharing some of their best days together," one commenter wrote beneath the cozy snapshots.

How to get Eric Clapton tickets: Columbus, Nashville, Boston, and more
With a career spanning over 50 years as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, it's no surprise that the announcement of Eric Clapton's return to the US for a tour sparked great interest. The 'Layla' star recently concluded a residency in Japan earlier in the year, which was followed by several stops across Europe. September 2025 sees the global star back in the US for a limited seven-show tour. Original standard tickets have already sold out for several locations, but luckily, there are still options available if you are looking for how to get tickets to see Eric Clapton this year. Clapton originally announced his 2025 limited US tour to be only six stops, but later added an additional show on September 5 in Columbus, Ohio. The tour marks the first US performance for Clapton in over a year and has been highly anticipated by his fans, who have been eagerly awaiting his return. Eric Clapton has openly discussed that he finds touring difficult, due to the length of time it takes to go from place to place. He was even once quoted as saying he would quit touring when he reached the age of 70. This year saw the star turn 80 years old, and luckily for his fans, he didn't follow through on that. Considering Clapton's increasingly selective tour schedule, each concert date feels like a special event. Unlike artists who tour extensively every year, Clapton's live appearances have become rare opportunities for fans to experience his iconic hits performed in person. Eric Clapton's musical band for his limited tour will consist of bassist Nathan East, drummer Edward 'Sonny' Emory III, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, keyboardists Tim Carmon and Chris Stainton, and backing vocalists Sharon White and Katie Kissoon. If you want to score tickets to see the legendary Eric Clapton himself onstage this September, we've got you covered. Here's our breakdown of Eric Clapton's tour schedule, purchasing details, and price comparisons between resale and original tickets. You can also browse concert and ticket specifics on StubHub and Vivid Seats at your convenience. Eric Clapton's 2025 tour schedule After finishing a residency in Japan followed by European tour stops, Eric Clapton is ready to grace the stage of the continental US.

How to buy tickets for Eric Clapton's 2025 concert tour You can buy standard original tickets for Eric Clapton's 2025 concert tour on Ticketmaster. As of writing, the standard original tickets for most locations are either low in stock or entirely sold out; however, there are still a limited number of original standard tickets listed for the Nashville and Boston performances. You can check Ticketmaster for the latest standard original ticket availability. As the tour is in extremely high demand and remaining standard tickets are going quickly, it is expected that these will sell out soon, similar to the other tour dates. Tickets are also available from verified resale vendors such as StubHub and Vivid Seats. Considering the limited availability of remaining original tickets, you may have better luck purchasing from these websites instead. Both sites also have a variety of options in terms of seating location and price points, as well as ticket availability for tour stops that have already sold out their original tickets. How much are Eric Clapton tickets? Ticket prices for Eric Clapton's 2025 performances vary depending on each show's date, location, and demand for tickets. While most of the seven scheduled performances have already sold out, Nashville and Boston still have options remaining for original standard tickets available on Ticketmaster. Nashville has options priced at $124 remaining, although all of these options are toward the back of the venue. Boston currently has floor options remaining priced $370 to $400. StubHub offers various options at various price points for all tour stops. The most affordable options range from $130 for Clapton's September 8 performance in Nashville to $421 for the stop in Uncasville, Connecticut. Most tickets on StubHub average $200 to $800, with pricier options available for those looking for the most exclusive options close to the stage. These prices are before additional taxes and fees are factored in. Vivid Seats offers similar pricing to StubHub. The most affordable options range from $130 for Eric Clapton's September 11 performance in Cleveland to $401 for his Uncasville, Connecticut show. Overall, Vivid Seats tickets range from $300 to just over $1,000, with some higher-end options even ranging over $2,000. Similar to StubHub, pricier tickets are for more premium seating and offer an exclusive chance to see the star from a once-in-a-lifetime close-up location. Also similar to StubHub, these prices are before additional taxes and fees. There are currently no VIP packages being offered on Ticketmaster for Eric Clapton's 2025 tour stops. Who is opening for Eric Clapton's tour? It has been confirmed that The Wallflowers will support Eric Clapton for all of his 2025 tour dates. There is currently no information on whether any other acts will open for or support the tour in other capacities. Will there be international tour dates? Eric Clapton's remaining 2025 scheduled tour dates do not include any more international stops. The artist recently returned from an eight-show residency in Tokyo, followed by performances in the UK, Italy, and France. Considering Clapton is known to tour on a limited basis, it is unlikely he will add additional international dates this year.
