As Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro make relationship official, all the signs you missed they were together
It's a match made in movie star heaven! Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro just made their first official public appearance together at Wimbledon, in matching tennis white outfits, essentially confirming their relationship. The pair, who have thought to have been dating since earlier this year were spotted attending Wimbledon in matching white outfits and walking hand in hand to the match in Wimbledon's centre court where they were joined by fellow A-Listers Erin Doherty, Charithra Chandran, Maude Apatow and Poppy Delevingne. Andrew, 41, is notoriously private about his love life, having previously told Esquire in October last year, "I have never, and I won't ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever." This was around the time it was speculated he had split from then partner Dr Kate Tomas. Since the breakup Andrew kept a relatively low profile, up until January earlier this year when rumours began swirling he was dating Monica Barbaro, 35, who you will know from starring in A Complete Unknown alongside Timothée Chalamet. So now six months on from that initial first picture together, here's all the clues you've missed that the pair have been dating. At the start of the year Andrew and Monica were first photographed together while attending a W Magazine party. The pair were in a photograph with Eddie Redmayne and W Magazine editor-at-large Lynn Hirschberg. In the photograph Andrew had his arm around Monica's waist. A month later the pair were then seen attending Jonathan Bailey's performance in Richard III in London. The next day a source claimed to People the couple were now dating, they said: "They've been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly." On the movie industry's biggest night, the pair both attended the Oscars, where Monica was nominated for a Supporting Actress Award for her role in A Complete Unknown. The pair walked the red carpet separately but at the same time, which lead to some fans theorising they may have traveled to the ceremony together. They both then attend the Vanity Fair after party, where they were pictured leaving the event together. Later that month, Instagram account Deux Moi shared a number of pictures of the couple going grocery shopping together in Malibu. Eagle-eyed TikTokers spotted Andrew and Monica going on holiday together in Kyoto Japan. On the first Monday in May, Monica made her Met Gala debut and while Andrew didn't attend the iconic red carpet with her or go at all, he did in fact show his support for her by waiting for her in her hotel after she came back. In a video taken by Cosmopolitan Andrew was seen looking eager for Monica's arrival and hugged her when she arrived. Watch the video here: After months of speculation the couple confirmed their relationship by walking hand in hand to Wimbledon where they watched the seventh day of the iconic tennis tournament.

How Prince William's ‘firm' decisiveness will change future of the monarchy — and who he'll banish
As the modernization of the monarchy continues to be at the forefront of Prince William's mind, the royal has one thing under his sleeve that will ensure a successful reign: decisiveness. The Prince of Wales, 43, has been planning his ascension to the throne since becoming heir following his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022. The future king, who has long championed a leaner monarchy, is reportedly crafting his own blueprint for the next generation of working royals. 5 Prince William is a 'shrewd operator,' according to a royal photographer. Getty Images And according to royal photographer Helena Chard, the prince has a strict rule of thumb for troublesome members of the Firm from here on out. 'Anyone who poses a threat to the monarchy is banished,' Chard told Fox News. 'Prince William is a shrewd operator and stands firm in his decisions.' Case in point, William has reportedly decided that his scandal-scarred uncle, Prince Andrew, will not be returning as a working member of the royal family once he becomes king. The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly see the disgraced Duke of York, 65, as a 'threat' to the Firm. 5 The future king, who has long championed a leaner monarchy, is reportedly crafting his own blueprint for the next generation of working royals. / What's more, William even refuses to explore the premise of allowing him to return to public-facing duties. 'He is committed and determined to do his best for the future of the monarchy. And his mind is made up,' Chard told the outlet. 'His scandalous uncle is viewed as a black cloud. Future public royal duties are off the cards. If allowed, Andrew will likely bring further reputational damage to the monarchy at a time when the royal ship needs a careful steer.' 5 Prince Andrew will not be returning as a working member of the royal family under Prince William's reign, according to insiders. 5 While Charles is by no means happy with Andrew and his frequent messy conquests, the King has reportedly given up trying to evict him from the Royal Lodge. Getty Images 'Prince Andrew will not have a formal role in Prince William's future modernized, streamlined, monarchy,' she added. The current monarch, King Charles, has taken on a similar — yet more relaxed — approach to his brother. While Charles is by no means happy with Andrew and his frequent messy conquests, the King has reportedly given up trying to evict him from the Royal Lodge. Still, when it comes to royal events, Andrew's participation is very much scaled-back. 5 The Prince of Wales, 43, has been planning his ascension to the throne since becoming heir following his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022. POOL/AFP via Getty Images Last month, the duke was excluded from the Garter Day ceremony for the fourth consecutive year. The royal snub took place just days after the Trooping the Colour ceremony — an event Prince Andrew did not participate in, nor did his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Palace insiders reveal why Prince William wants uncle Andrew gone for good – and it's personal
Prince William is quietly reshaping the monarchy's future – and his controversial uncle Andrew has no place in it. As the heir apparent supports King Charles through cancer treatment, insiders say he's simultaneously engineering a permanent exile for the Duke of York, whose royal career appears finished. READ MORE | Prince William marks Diana's birthday with his mission to end homelessness 'Prince William is a shrewd operator who stands firm. His scandalous uncle is viewed as a black cloud, and future public duties are off the cards,' says broadcaster Helena Chard. 'Anyone who poses a threat to the monarchy is banished.' The Prince of Wales' hostility, however, runs deeper than recent headlines suggest. Sources reveal the animosity began years ago during his early relationship with Princess Kate, when Andrew allegedly showed little warmth toward William's future wife. The personal slight has since escalated as the Duke's associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo made him what insiders call a 'reputational risk.' The situation has created tensions within the family. While King Charles continues pressuring his brother to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge estate where Andrew and his ex-wife Fergie live and move to smaller accommodations, Andrew remains protected by a 75-year lease. Reports suggest he's refused to budge, even amid concerns that utilities might be cut off. Prince William reportedly favours relocating Andrew to Frogmore Cottage, which was vacated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they left for North America in 2020. READ MORE | Meet the impi warriors who get the crowd pumped up before a Springbok match Royal expert Hilary Fordwich claims Charles is 'relieved and delighted' by his son's uncompromising stance. 'William won't risk association with such a disastrous family member who distracts from public duty,' she notes. According to Daily Mail columnist Richard Kay, 'William feels that his father has been too soft on him.' While Charles maintains private family relationships with Andrew, commentators agree there's no pathway back to public life. 'There is no possibility of Andrew taking a more active role under King Charles or William,' says British public relations consultant and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams. 'His reputation is toxic.'
