Princess Kate steps out at Wimbledon with Charlotte, George: See the pics

USA Today2 days ago
Princess Kate has stepped out again at Wimbledon − and she made it a family affair.
The Princess of Wales, 43, attended the Wimbledon Championships' singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday, July 13, where she was joined by her husband, Prince William. Two of the royal couple's kids, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, also attended with them. Their youngest child, Prince Louis, 7, was absent.
Kate chose a bright blue dress with a bold shoulder bow and a wide-brimmed straw hat for the match, while Charlotte wore a ruffled white dress piped in navy. The mother and daughter donned sunglasses and waved paper fans in the heat.
Seal and Keira Knightley were among the celebrities also spotted in the crowd on July 13.

This marked another appearance at Wimbledon for Kate, who on July 12 attended the women's singles final wearing a white ensemble. Sitting next to tennis legend Billie Jean King, Kate received a standing ovation from the crowd on July 12. She later said on Instagram that it was a "wonderful day," and she congratulated Iga Świątek on her "brilliant victory."
Kate's Wimbledon appearances come after she was unexpectedly absent from Royal Ascot on June 18. She had been scheduled to attend the horse-racing event but did not appear. Instead, William stepped out at the event solo.
Kate battled an unspecified form of cancer in 2024, and in January, she announced she was in remission. Kate said at that time that she was focusing on her recovery and that "as anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal."
"I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead," she added at the time. "There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support."
Princess Kate on life after cancer: A 'roller coaster'
During a July 2 visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, Kate spoke about the idea of patients needing to put on a "brave face" throughout treatment and reflected that when the treatment is finished, "the phase afterward is really, really difficult."

Josh Gad's favorite travel splurge isn't what you'd expect

Josh Gad is best known for voicing lovable snowman Olaf in Disney's "Frozen," but at home, he plays a very different role: that of an overly enthusiastic travel planner and book evangelist for his daughters. The actor and father recently partnered with Kindle Kids to encourage summer reading – something he admits has become a small miracle in his own household. Fresh off a family trip to Malta, Gad spoke with USA TODAY about his mission to raise curious, engaged readers, how he navigates family travel with a jam-packed itinerary, and why his Kindle is currently filled with historical nonfiction and literary classics. Along the way, he reveals his go-to vacation splurges, travel pet peeves, and the moment he realized his kids had started choosing books over screens – on their own. The following interview was edited for length and clarity. What prompted you to partner with Kindle Kids? Josh Gad: When we travel, it's a very difficult thing to pack a bunch of heavy (books), and so when this technology presented itself, it was a no-brainer. You know, my wife and I, in general, are people who want them to – if they're going to use technology – for it to be technology we can get behind. ... You engage with reading, you know, the Book Crew, which is something that comes with signing up (with Kindle Kids). It's just a really fun opportunity for younger kids to utilize, to be part of something that gives them a sense of community, and it was really engaging for them. We just got back from Malta, and… I'm the worst person to travel with when it comes to my family because I push, push – we get up at like 6 a.m., and we don't stop going until like 10 p.m. It's always like, "Gotta go see history!" But there were times when it was super hot, and so there was one day in particular when we got back to the room, and I was so impressed because I do basically "free time" for my daughters. And they could have easily turned on their iPads to watch something, and they started reading books. My wife and I just looked at each other, and we were like: "This is a miracle." ... The fact that our kids are voluntarily choosing to do this is like everything you could hope for as a parent. You just got back from Malta, what other family trips do you have planned for the summer? JG: We're gonna go again (to Europe) later this summer, and we are still deciding which country we're gonna go to. I always like to go places I've never been. But I also love return trips. Italy is the favorite out of ours – my wife is Italian and that's where we go more often than not. But we're going to try new places this summer. We're thinking about Croatia, Switzerland, maybe Austria or Germany – giving the kids a sense of culture, a sense of appreciation for, as I said before, history and art. Those are the kinds of trips we love the most because it's entertainment – we try to make it a really fun experience while, in the process, giving them the ability to learn something new. For instance, in Malta – I had never been before, and I'm a history buff – and being able to walk my daughter through these ancient medieval fortified walls, or bring them to a Neolithic temple … and sort of walk them through this written history where everybody from the Phoenicians to the Arabs to the Knights of Malta have all been present, it was really … cool to engage with them in a methodology of learning where you're actually walking in the footsteps of ancient cultures. And seeing their eyes light up – we went to this place called the Hypogeum, a 6,000-year-old burial site for the Neolithic community that lived there – and to look at them and go, 'Guys, this is older than the Great Pyramid, this is older than Stonehenge,' and see them engaged in a way that is really cool. You sound like a very go-go-go traveler. What's your family's – or your own – travel pet peeve? JG: I don't like when I do (a beach destination); I then need to do something else because I feel like I've wasted my vacation … I feel like being idle is like a wasted opportunity of travel. I'm a consumer. I love to consume information – obviously food, but I love to consume culture, knowledge, music, history. So, like, I get travel FOMO (fear of missing out). And what I mean by that is when I'm in a place, and I don't see it all, I get FOMO. So, much to the chagrin of my wife and my daughters, they have to suffer some of the consequences of my curiosity. They are always like, 'Can we please do a day where we do nothing?' And I'm like, 'It depends on how many more days we have!' Story continues below. What do you tend to splurge on during your travels? JG: I'm never more alive than when I'm out on the open water. I think that's the byproduct of being born in South Florida and being raised by the ocean. One of my favorite things to do is get out and explore a new area by water. So, oftentimes, we go to Lake Como (in Italy) or to many of the great lakes in Lago Maggiore or Lago d'Orta, and we will always rent a boat and explore the perimeters of these beautiful regions. Similarly, when we go down south to Positano or Malta or Capri, we do the same. So, everywhere we go that has either a lake or Mediterranean coast or an ocean – whatever it is – if we're in proximity to water, I'll charter a boat. We'll be on the water at some point. That's my big splurge. That's usually where I drop the most money, and my wife will go, 'Are you nuts?' And I'll say, 'Yes – but think about the memories.' I also love to splurge on good food. I love when my daughters are in a different culture and eat the cuisine of that culture. We're very adamant about not doing chicken fingers and burgers. You will eat what the people of this region eat. And sometimes they won't enjoy it – but as long as they try things, we're happy. So we try to take them to meals that are influenced by the region we're visiting. What's on your Kindle reading list right now? JG: I love early reading nonfiction or historical fiction. One of my favorite authors is Erik Larson. I love "In the Garden of Beasts" and "The Splendid and the Vile." I've also been absolutely the biggest fan of a young author named Madeline Miller, who wrote "The Song of Achilles" – they're sort of Greek mythology-influenced books. And now I'm doing something very interesting – I'm actually having a summer of classics. I really don't remember "The Odyssey" or "The Iliad," and maybe it's the presence of one of the upcoming movies that's piqued my curiosity. So I'm going back and revisiting some of the greats. I've never read "Moby Dick" – that is on my list. I'm going back and reading "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" because my daughters have never read them and did not know who Mark Twain was. And I was like, 'This is outrageous.' So, it's an ambitious summer, for sure. But I'm excited to check off some books that I otherwise never got around to reading.

Sycamore Gap vandals face their fate in English court for felling beloved tree

With one man holding a phone to record the tree's notorious fall and the other working a chainsaw, a pair of vandals forever altered the landscape of a beloved section of Hadrian's Wall in northern England. In less than three minutes, the beloved Sycamore Gap tree that had stood for nearly 150 years crashed to the ground. The fate of the men convicted of the senseless act now lies in the hands of a judge who will sentence them Tuesday in Newcastle Crown Court. Advertisement 5 The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, shining over the Sycamore Gap tree, on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, England, on July 3, 2016. AP Justice Christina Lambert warned Daniel Graham and Adam Carruthers that they could face a 'lengthy period in custody,' following their convictions in May of two counts each of criminal damage. Each count carries a penalty of up to 10 years behind bars. Advertisement The illegal felling in Northumberland National Park on Sept. 28, 2023, caused instant outrage and news quickly spread beyond the ancient wall built by Emperor Hadrian in AD 122 to protect the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire. It wasn't Britain's biggest or oldest tree, but it was prized for its picturesque setting, symmetrically planted between two hills along the wall that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tree had long been known to locals but became famous after a cameo in Kevin Costner's 1991 film 'Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.' 5 The felled Sycamore Gap tree is seen on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, England, Sept. 29, 2023.

Crown Prosecution Services / SWNS It drew tourists, lovers, landscape photographers and even those who spread the ashes of loved ones. It was voted English 'Tree of the Year' in 2016. Graham, 39, and Carruthers, 32, once close friends who had a falling out since their arrests, denied taking part in the act, claiming they were each at their homes that night. But evidence shown to the jury implicated both men.

Grainy video of the felling was found on his phone — with metadata showing that it was shot at the location of the tree. As digital data showed Graham's vehicle on its way back to where the two lived about 40 minutes away, Carruthers got a text from his girlfriend with footage of their 12-day-old son. 'I've got a better video than that,' Carruthers replied. The jury didn't hear evidence of a motive for the crime, but prosecutor Richard Wright suggested in his closing argument that the two had been on a 'moronic mission' and cut down the tree as a joke. 'They woke up the morning after and … it must have dawned on them that they couldn't see anyone else smiling,' Wright said.
