William & Kate Reportedly Looking into Moving After Rumors Harry & Meghan Are Relocating Back to the UK
According to The Daily Mail, William and Kate—along with their three kids: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are looking to move into the 'magnificent gothic revival mansion' of Fort Belvedere, which is 'nestled in a hidden corner of Windsor Great Park' and sits on 59 acres. The 18th-century home also has a tennis court, a private outdoor swimming pool, a rose garden, a greenhouse, private stables, multiple lakes, and three cottages for the Prince and Princess of Wales' staff. The estate was previously inhabited by William's ancestor Edward VIII, who lived in the home after he abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson.

As for why William and Kate are looking to move, The Daily Mail reported that the Prince and Princess of Wales 'feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage' now that their kids are older and 'need something more substantial.' 'This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis,' a source said.
According to The Daily Mail, a 'move to a more substantial property would mark a new chapter' for William and Kate, especially after spending much of Kate's cancer treatment at Adelaide Cottage in 2024.
The Daily Mail also reported that Fort Belvedere is just one of several homes William and Kate are looking into, and that 'no move is imminent.' Previously, there were rumors that William and Kate were interested in moving into the Royal Lodge—the 30-room mansion where Prince Andrew lives with his ex-wife Sarah Feguson—but 'Andrew resisted pressure from King [Charles] to leave.' The Daily Mail also reported that William and Kate considered moving into a wing of Windsor Castle but the area is 'understood to no longer be viable.'
Rumors of William and Kate's move also come after reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who moved to the United States in 2019 and now live in Montecito, California, were relocating back to the United Kingdom as Harry repairs his relationship with his father, King Charles.
The rumors came after Grant Harrold, former royal butler to King Charles, told Study Dog that Harry is 'quite keen' for his and Meghan's children—Archie and Lilibet—to experience British schooling. 'It's very likely and completely possible,' he said.'If they have their younger education in America, I'm sure their father will be quite keen to have a bit of a British education,' he continued. 'But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes.'
A source for People, however, debunked the rumors. A source confirmed to the magazine that Harry and Meghan are happy living in and raising their family in California and have no plans to leave. That said, he could be coming back to the U.K. more often if his aides' recent meeting with Charles' staff means anything for their future relationship. 'It was a good first step,' an insider told People in July 2025. 'It is always better to be talking.'

Alcopops are back in fashion, says Smirnoff Ice owner
The maker of Smirnoff Ice and Guinness has said alcopops are back in vogue as young people start to drink more alcohol after years of abstinence. Nik Jhangiani, interim chief executive of Diageo, said there was a 'huge opportunity' to win over Generation Z as it noted a boom in demand for premixed cocktails and alcopops. He said Gen Z customers who were drinking for the first time were doing so by consuming spirits and pre-made cocktails, reversing a previous trend where younger generations were introduced to alcohol through beer. It comes after data from drinks experts IWSR showed that 73pc of Gen Z have consumed alcohol in the previous six months, compared with 66pc two years ago. Ready-to-drink cocktails such as BuzzBallz have surged in popularity in recent months, with the brand one of the fastest growing drinks ranges in the UK. The drinks, which became popular after going viral on TikTok, are known for their brightly coloured packaging and quirky names such as Lotta Colada and Watermelon Smash. Mr Jhangiani said Diageo was seeing more young people buying spirits, with the drinks giant well placed to 'offer a huge range of choices' including more flavours and calorie choices. He said Diageo had once been a leader in alcopops with its Smirnoff Ice brand, adding that the company would 'rightfully have the ability to gain that [position] back', with plans to boost sales of Smirnoff Ice drinks again. The company launched a new advertising campaign for the brand across more than 20 countries in June. Diageo has also previously credited younger people, particularly women, for boosting sales of Guinness. Mr Jhangiani's comments came as profits fell 28pc to $4.3bn (£3.2bn) in the year to July compared with a year earlier as it said it would take a $200m hit from Donald Trump's tariff war. The company is also battling a slowdown in consumer spending. Diageo said on Tuesday it would ramp up a cost-cutting programme to revive the business, removing $625m (£470m) of costs over the next three years, $125m higher than previously planned. Last month, Diageo appointed Mr Jhangiana as its new interim chief executive, after abruptly parting ways with previous boss Debra Crew. Diageo shares rose as much as 6pc as investors were buoyed by the cost-saving plans. 登入存取你的投資組合

Billie Eilish Hits A Rare Albums Chart Milestone
Billie Eilish adds another show of longevity to her already impressive list of wins this week as one of her most celebrated releases hits a landmark that only a relatively small number of albums ever come close to. More than three years after its release, Happier Than Ever is still connecting with listeners in the United Kingdom in a big way, and this frame is a special one for the Grammy-nominated set. Happier Than Ever Hits 150 Weeks This week, Happier Than Ever dips to No. 49 on the Official Albums chart, slipping from No. 35. As it declines outside the top 40, it reaches 150 weeks on the ranking of the most consumed full‑lengths in the U.K. Eilish first debuted the set at No. 1, and since then, it has remained a consistent performer in the country. Billie Eilish's Third Release to Stay This Long Happier Than Ever is Eilish's third release to live on the main albums chart for at least 150 weeks. Her debut full‑length, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, has racked up 259 weeks on the tally, while her breakout EP Don't Smile at Me has reached 247 stays. Happier Than Ever Rises on Some Rankings While Happier Than Ever declines on the main albums and streaming charts, it climbs on several other lists across the pond this week. The project improves to No. 31 on the Official Albums Sales chart, up from No. 46, and jumps to No. 30 on the Official Physical Albums ranking, rising from No. 42. It has previously peaked at No. 1 on nearly every major U.K. albums list, but it did miss the summit on the streaming tally by just one slot. Billie Eilish's Catalog Benefits From Her Tour All of Eilish's full‑lengths are currently charting in the U.K., and they recently surged as her ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour visited the nation. Hit Me Hard and Soft and When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? remain on the Official Albums chart and appear on several other rankings at the same time. Singles like 'Birds of a Feather' and 'Wildflower' are also holding on across various lists, powering her latest full-length, which she's promoting on her global trek.

The Human Urge to Corrupt These Wholesome Critters
When Paul Welander, a health care worker in Britain, heard about a lawsuit that the maker of Calico Critters toys recently filed against a social media content creator, he wasn't totally surprised. The critters, introduced in 1985, are tiny velvety-bodied animals — rabbits, mice, moles, bears, beavers, badgers, pigs, penguins — dressed in modest clothes and sold in sets as families. The lawsuit alleges that the creator committed copyright and trademark infringement by making videos that portray the twee toys in scandalous situations: having affairs, driving drunk, taking drugs. Videos not unlike the crassly captioned pictures of the toys, also known as Sylvanians, that Mr. Welander, 51, started sharing on social media back in 2016. One of his posts, featuring a photo of two squirrels in cottagecore attire near a pile of leaves, had the caption: 'Cover the feet, we have till spring to get our story straight …' Another, featuring a bushy-tailed rodent sitting at a piano, was captioned with a lyric from the song 'Baby Got Back.' It read, 'I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny …' When Mr. Welander began sharing the posts on X (back when it went by Twitter), his account, called Sylvnianans, amassed some 10,000 followers within a week, he said. He attributed the interest in it to the humor of imagining the squeaky-clean creatures engaged in 'adult topics,' as he put it. Soon after, his account was suspended. The reason Mr. Welander was given, he recalled, was for 'misrepresentation of a product.' A representative for X said it would be hard to confirm the reasons for actions taken against accounts as far back as 2016. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
