Charli XCX quietly marries musical star in London
The 32-year-old Brit tied the knot with George Daniel at the weekend with a video of the couple on their special day going viral.
The Apple singer wowed in a low-cut white mini-dress, wore her hair down with a lengthy veil and even donned her trademark Brat sunglasses at the intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall.
According to The Mirror, there were only 20 friends and family in attendance, including Daniel's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann.

As for the 35-year-old sticksman's attire, the groom opted for a casual black suit with an off-grey shirt underneath, plus a white flower in his jacket to match his wife's bouquet.
There had been reports that the pair were planning a lavish Sicily wedding later this year.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there.
'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.
'Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night.'
The source added: 'They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day.
'It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do'. Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife.'
However, Charli revealed earlier this year that she was feeling relaxed about her wedding plans and that she and Daniel 'just want to have a party'.
The 360 singer said: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party.
'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'
The pair got engaged in November 2023 after one year of dating.

‘Love when brides get married looking very much like themselves': Charli XCX's wedding reveals wider trend
Singer Charli XCX wed musician George Daniel, and all anyone can talk about is what the star couple didn't do. When two famous people get married, it is usually a spectacle that exposes just how different celebrities are from the rest of us. It is a big reminder that they have personal assistants and endless budgets, while the rest of us have siblings who have to help out of family obligation and a firm budget that makes you feel physically sick when you go over it. Leave it to Charli XCX, though, to be ahead of the trend. She managed to pull-off a low-key celebrity wedding that came across as genuine, rather than a gimmick. It also looked like a normal wedding, like the kind your trendy friend would throw that is actually fun to attend. The couple got married at a town hall in Hackney, surrounded by fewer than 30 guests, and then held their reception at a local Italian eatery. Charli XCX and the 1975 bandmate were then seen hanging out at the restaurant and \ wandering the streets as husband and wife with all their guests. It is very on point for the singer, with a growing trend towards 'quiet weddings'. If you've never heard the phrase, you'll need to get on TikTok because the Gen Zers are loving it. The term basically just means a smaller wedding, less lavish and more barbecue vibes. The concept has naturally risen in popularity as cost of living pressures have increased. According to social media data website, Aura Point, there have been over 62,000 monthly searches from couples trying to find their local registry office. A recent survey found that 29 per cent of couples are opting for smaller, more intimate wedding ceremonies. Despite the wedding being more relaxed, Charli XCX was still wearing a high-fashion custom Vivienne Westwood gown but, otherwise, the whole shindig looked unnervingly normal. It didn't look glitzy, over-the-top or inaccessible. It looked low-key, but effortlessly cool, which is not a surprise seeing as Charli XCX made Brat summer happen. The bride even had time to jump on TikTok and joke that if her musician groom didn't cry when he saw her walking down the aisle, she'd be turning around. Perhaps what is most interesting is that the singer's chill wedding is garnering as much fanfare as, say, Tammy Hembrow's Bryon Bay extravaganza, when she married Matt Zukowski. Gen Zers online are loving it to the point where perhaps a giant wedding is now just another thing Millennials do that is considered cringe worthy by the younger generation. 'I don't know how to explain it but I really love when brides get married looking very much like themselves,' one praised. 'Charli getting married at Hackney Town Hall, in Viv Westwood, then coming out the front to take pics like an East London royal wedding,' another Gen Zer raved. 'At Town hall? How very Brat of her,' someone else observed. 'She knows to make every moment unforgettable,' another said.

Eve Jobs and Harry Charles: No expense spared for Apple founder Steve Job's daughter's $10m wedding
There will be no expense spared when Apple founder Steve Job's model daughter ties the knot this weekend during a four-day wedding bonanza expected to top $10 million. An entire village in Oxfordshire is in virtual lockdown as organisers prepare for the lavish nuptials of heiress Eve Jobs, 27, and her Olympic equestrian fiancé Harry Charles, 26. Elton John is booked to perform and close family friend Kamala Harris is on the star-filled guest list. Princess Beatrice, the equestrian daughter of Bruce Springsteen, Jessica Springsteen, the Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders, and Sofia Abramovich, whose dad Roman used to own Chelsea Football Club, are all expected to be there. Eve's siblings — Reed, 33, and Erin, 29 — are also set to attend. It is uncertain whether her stepsister Lisa will be there. It comes less than a month after Amazon boss and Lauren Sanchez dropped $20 million on their opulent Venetian wedding, surrounded by their glamorous celebrity friends. Eve and Charles first went public with their relationship in August 2024 at the Summer Olympics in Paris, where Charles was competing. Jobs, who is also a keen equestrian and has competed in World Cup finals, is signed to DNA Model Management and has walked for luxury brands including Coperni and appeared in campaigns for Louis Vuitton and on the cover of Japan Vogue. 'Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multimillion-pound fairytale,' a source told The Sun. 'It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down. 'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI. 'Kamala Harris, who ran for the Presidency last year, is very close friends with Laurene and is on the guestlist.' They added: 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.' Eve and her friends went to Capri for a splashy bachelorette weekend. Steve Jobs died in 2011 from a rare form of pancreatic cancer. His philanthropist wife Laurene, who he married in 1991, inherited billions of dollars in stock in Apple and the Walt Disney Company. But she has previously said that inheritance was unlikely to be passed on to the tech titan's children. 'I'm not interested in legacy wealth buildings, and my children know that,' she told The New York Times in February 2020. 'Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.' 'I inherited my wealth from my husband, who didn't care about the accumulation of wealth. I am doing this in honor of his work, and I've dedicated my life to doing the very best I can to distribute it effectively, in ways that lift up individuals and communities in a sustainable way.'

'A beautiful bond': Royal fans are all saying the same thing about this 'sweet' detail in new Prince George video as future King of England celebrates his 12th birthday
To mark Prince George's 12th birthday, the Prince and Princess of Wales have released a new portrait and short video capturing a candid moment between the future King and his younger siblings- and royal watchers are all saying the same thing. Filmed earlier this year in Norfolk, the video features Prince George alongside Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, walking and laughing through grassy fields and posing for family photos. At first, George is seen posing alone. But the mood shifts once Charlotte and Louis join him, with the video capturing a spontaneous and joyful moment between the three siblings. In one scene, Charlotte grabs Louis by the legs as George lifts him under the arms, the trio bursting into laughter. The children are then seen strolling hand-in-hand, with George and Charlotte keeping a firm grip on the ever-cheeky Louis to help him keep pace. "12 today!" the Prince and Princess of Wales captioned the video, which was shared to social media on Tuesday (local time). Fans were quick to flood the comments with praise for the candid footage and the clear affection between the royal siblings. "What a sweet video and such a beautiful sibling bond! Their giggles are precious," one user wrote. "What happy sounds! This is so lovely," said another. "Those are three happy children and it's so lovely to see their bond," a third added. "Aww, this is the sweetest video ever," one fan gushed. "It truly is so heartwarming to see this bond! I have no doubt Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are helping their parents make Prince George's day so special." The video was released shortly after Kensington Palace shared George's official birthday portrait, a relaxed, smiling image taken by photographer Josh Shinner, again in rural Norfolk. "Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!" the Waleses captioned the post. Followers responded with warm birthday wishes and remarks on his growing resemblance to other royal family members, most notably his father, Prince William. "Happy Birthday Prince George! You look more like your Dad every year!" one post read, with more than 200 likes at the time of writing. "Where did those 12 years go! Wishing Prince George a very happy birthday full of family fun," said another. "Happy Birthday to our little (not so little anymore) Future King," a third chimed in. One user noted: "You can definitely tell he is Diana's grandson." As the eldest son of Prince William and Princess Catherine, Prince George is second in line to the throne and well aware of the responsibilities that lie ahead. While most 12-year-olds don't give much thought, if any at all, to their future careers, George's path has already been set, with his royal role gradually growing in prominence. The family lives at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate, where William and Catherine are said to be focused on giving their children as normal an upbringing as possible. Still, royal duties await, and with tradition dictating that future kings shouldn't travel together, George is no longer permitted to fly on the same aircraft as his father. In recent years, George has appeared at high-profile events including Trooping the Colour and King Charles' Coronation, where he served as a Page of Honour. More recently, in May, he joined his parents at a Buckingham Palace tea party with Second World War veterans to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day- his most significant solo engagement to date. While George wasn't originally scheduled to attend, Prince William revealed his son had been "very keen" to join after watching the military parade earlier that day. Currently a student at Lambrook School in Berkshire alongside his siblings, George will move on to secondary school next year. Although Eton College, Prince William's alma mater, has been widely speculated, it's understood that the Waleses may instead be considering co-educational Marlborough College, Princess Catherine's former school. Either way, it's likely that the young Prince will participate in some form of military training throughout his formative years. "You can guarantee that George, whether he likes it or not, will have to go through that military training," former royal aide Grant Harrold told online learning portal Study Dog. "Both William and Charles had military training. You're the commanding chief of the Armed Forces, so you've got to know the profession. "However, there might not be so much pressure when it comes to George; only time will tell."
