Kate Middleton's Low-Key Comeback Moment You Might Have Missed at Trooping the Colour
Kate Middleton is standing at attention with King Charles and Queen Camilla in a significant scene at Trooping the Colour.
On June 14, the Princess of Wales, 43, joined her father-in-law the King and Queen Camilla to appear on the dais at Horse Guards Parade at Trooping the Colour. As Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards — one of the seven regiments of the British Army's Household Division that take part in the event — Princess Kate's presence was both ceremonial and symbolic.
It's a spot of honor to stand alongside the King and Queen, and marks a meaningful return for Kate. Although she watched the festivities from the dais in 2023, she did not take on any additional ceremonial role in 2024, as she was in the midst of cancer treatment. This year's participation signals a step forward — and a powerful statement of strength and continuity.
King Charles was also diagnosed with cancer in 2024. While Princess Kate announced earlier this year that she is in remission after completing chemotherapy in September, the King's treatment is still ongoing.
Princess Kate paid tribute to the Irish Guards by pinning on the unit's regimental brooch for the Trooping celebrations on Saturday, a key event on the royal family's calendar.
Trooping the Colour is the Household Division's 265-year-old tradition of commemorating the British monarch's official birthday with an epic display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare.
Kate watched the actual Trooping of the Colour (or ceremonial presentation of flags, which the Coldstream Guards is presenting this year) from the dais, as her children waited for her close by.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Made Secret Pact in Seychelles
Time for a quick lore check on Prince William and Kate Middleton. In the event that you aren't an expert on their relationship history, these two actually broke up ahead of their engagement. And upon getting back together, they took a romantic trip to the Seychelles where they made a secret pact. According to the Daily Mail, who dusted off royal author Katie Nicholl's reporting in her book The Making of a Royal Romance, Wills and Kate checked in at a five star resort under the names "Martin and Rosemary Middleton," and then Prince William made Kate a promise. "With a population of just 50 and three miles long, the paradise island was the perfect escape," Katie wrote, adding that "both of them knew that at some point they had to discuss the future. For a young man who has an inherent fear of tomorrow this was not easy for William, but the tranquil backdrop of the island was as good place as any to discuss it." In other words, this was the first time they seriously chatted about getting married, and "William assured Kate she was the one. William, who had inherited something of his father's fear of commitment, knew he would lose Kate if he could not give her some form of guarantee." Nicholl also spoke to an insider who confirmed, "They didn't agree to get married there and then; what they made was a pact. William told Kate she was the one, but he was not ready to get married. He promised her his commitment and said he would not let her down, and in turn she agreed to wait for him." The rest is royal history!

BBC apologizes for streaming Bob Vylan's 'antisemitic' Glastonbury set

Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo June 30 (UPI) -- The BBC has apologized for live-streaming Bob Vylan's Glastonbury Music Festival set over the weekend, calling it "deeply offensive" and "antisemitic." The British rap duo -- comprised of artists Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan -- led the concertgoers, some of whom were waving Palestinian flags, in chants of "Death, death to the IDF," "From the river to the sea" and "Free, free Palestine" at the high-profile event, according to video posted on Bobby's Instagram account. After receiving expressions of what he described as being of both "support and hatred" over the weekend, Bobby doubled down on his message with an Instagram post Sunday, stating, "I said what I said." But the BBC is expressing regret over sharing the duo's festival performance with a global audience. "Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC's output but one performance within our live-streams included comments that were deeply offensive. The BBC respects freedom of expression, but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury's condemnation of the performance," the BBC said in a lengthy statement Monday. "The performance was part of a live stream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen," the statement continued. "In light of this weekend, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air."

Charli XCX at Glastonbury 2025: Livestream Her Headline Festival Set Free From Anywhere
A year-on from Brat Summer, Charli XCX looks set to leave another major cultural mark today as she plays a much-anticipated headline set on Glastonbury's Other Stage. Below, we'll outline which live TV streaming service will be streaming this headline act at Glastonbury, wherever you are in the world. We'll also explain how to use a VPN if you're outside of the UK. The 32-year-old British star, who's real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, has been one of the biggest draws on the festival circuit in the past year following the mammoth success of her sixth album Brat, with the hyper pop smash helping her claim four Brit Awards and three Grammys. Having already lit up stages this summer at Coachella in California, Primavera Sound in Barcelona, a headline slot at Lido Festival in London and a surprise guest appearance during Dua Lipa's recent Wembley Stadium show, Saturday's performance looks set to cap what has been a defining era in Charli XCX's career and help cement her status as a global pop superstar. Charli XCX is set to play the Other Stage at Glastonbury on Saturday, June 28, with the set expected to start no earlier than 10:30 p.m. BST in the UK. That makes it a 5:30 p.m. ET or 2:30 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, while for music fans in Australia the show is set to get underway at 7:30 a.m. AEST on Sunday morning. The great news for music fans in the UK is that free-to-air broadcaster BBC is once again showing vast amounts of this year's festival live as well as on demand across its linear channels and its iPlayer online streaming service. Linear coverage will be split across all four BBC channels, with Saturday's Charli XCX performance set to be shown on BBC 1 from 10:30 p.m. BST local time. To watch the set as it happens, you can also stream a live feed from the Other Stage via the online platform BBC iPlayer, which is offering continuous livestreams from the five main festival stages across the weekend. Pyramid Stage sets are available to watch in 4K on iPlayer, while the service will also offer catch-up on more than 90 on-demand sets for up to 30 days after broadcast. BBC iPlayer has dedicated apps available for Android and Apple mobile devices, as well as a vast array of smart TVs and streaming boxes. All you need is a valid UK TV license to stream the festival. See at BBC While last year's Pyramid Stage headline sets by Coldplay and Duo Lipa were livestreamed to a global audience by the BBC, this year's broadcasts from the festival are back to being geo‑restricted to UK viewers only. If you find yourself unable to view the festival locally, you may need a different way to watch the entertainment from Worthy Farm. That's where using a VPN can come in handy. If you're traveling abroad and want to watch all the big name acts at Glastonbury while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. It can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial. ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN that works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100, you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month. Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. See at With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming Glastonbury may vary. If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option. If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location. All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, because both devices will appear to be in the correct location. And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
