King Charles spotted with bloodshot eye as health condition explained
After arriving in the UK for their state visit, the French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte were warmly welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla who treated their guests to a carriage ride through Winsdor King Charles has treated French President Emmanuel Macron and wife Brigitte to a carriage ride through Windsor at the start of their state visit to the UK. After being formally welcomed to the country at RAF Northolt by the Prince and Princess of Wales earlier today, the Macrons then received the warmest and most tactile of welcomes from the Royal Family, who swapped kisses and affectionate pats on the arm as they greeted one another on the royal dais in Windsor. The King kissed Mrs Macron on the hand, while President Macron kissed Queen Camilla's hand. The Queen and Mrs Macron, who have met many times before, talked with their heads together like old friends. The President leaned over to grasp Prince William's arm as they talked, while the King reached out to the Princess of Wales with a hand as they said hello. The Princess curtseyed to the King twice for good measure, seemingly unsure that he had seen it the first time, and performed the same ritual for the Queen before kissing her on the cheek. Finally, as the Franco-British introductions wrapped up, William kissed his stepmother Camilla on the cheek, leaning over to avoid knocking her hat. It was the start of a three-day French State Visit, in which the King is hosting the Macrons at Windsor Castle. During the formal welcome, King Charles could be seen with a bloodshot right eye. Buckingham Palace said that overnight he experienced a burst blood vessel in his right eye, which is said to be unrelated to any other health conditions. Afterwards, the three couples, who stood side by side for the national anthems of France and the UK, spent a few minutes greeting a line-up of dignitaries before splitting into carriages to ride through Windsor. The King and President Macron sat together in the first carriage, the 1902 State Landau, immediately seen deep in conversation. The Queen and Mrs Macron followed in the Semi-State Landau behind, looking around them as cheers could be heard in the distance and beginning to wave at those assembling at the side of the road. The Prince and Princess of Wales sat together in a third carriage, an Ascot Landau, with France's armed forces minister Sebastien Lecornu and French culture minister Rachida Dati. The final two Ascot Landau carriages will carried Helene Duchene, the French ambassador to the UK, and General Fabien Mandon, chief of the military staff. At one point Camilla appeared to imitate riding a horse, which made Mrs Macron laugh. The Princess of Wales gave a deep curtsy to both the King and Queen and Camilla greeted the Prince and Princess of Wales with a kiss on the cheeck. William, talking to Macron, appeared to point towards the turret of Windsor Castle in the distance, where they will join their guests for lunch and, later, tonight's state banquet. The King and president will both deliver speeches at the state banquet this evening in the medieval St George's Hall, where some 160 guests will be seated at the elaborately decorated 50 metre table, which will run the full length of the vast room. Kensington Palace has yet to confirm whether Kate will attend the banquet. During his speech, the King will stress the vital partnership between France and the UK in the face of a "multitude of complex threats". As France and the UK are expected to announce a joint plan on small boat crossings, the King will highlight how "these challenges know no borders", adding "no fortress can protect us against them this time". At a glittering banquet in the historic Berkshire landmark this evening, the monarch will deliver a speech, adding: "as friends and as allies, we face them together". The King will also tell Mr Macron that Britain and France can help lead the way in confronting threats relating to defence, technology and climate change, saying: "Our two nations share not only values, but also the tireless determination to act on them in the world." The King, in his toast, will reflect on 1,000 years of "shared history and culture between our two peoples", including many of the royal family's personal connections to France. "For centuries our citizens have admired each other, amused each other, and imitated each other", he will say, and reveal how he remains "in awe of France's extraordinary attributes and achievements".

Prince George, 11, Debuts New Look for Trooping the Colour
Prince George debuted a fresh, shorter haircut for Trooping the Colour The 11-year-old royal's new look featured a neatly cropped style Cameras caught a sweet moment as Prince Louis, 7, beamed at his big brother during their carriage ride to the parade groundPrince George switched up his style for Trooping the Colour 2025. On June 14, Prince William and Kate Middleton's 11-year-old son arrived with his family at King Charles' official birthday parade, where he rocked a new haircut. His new cropped style marked a change from his last public appearance in May at the VE Day 80th anniversary celebration. To complete the look, George's hair was slicked neatly into place, likely with a touch of product to keep it tidy for the ride. He traveled to the parade ground in the Ascot Landau carriage alongside his mom, sister Princess Charlotte, 10, and younger brother Prince Louis, 7. While Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte twinned in aqua for the military march honoring the King's official birthday as sovereign, the boys in the Wales family had a matching moment of their own. Prince George and Princes Louis both sported red ties, which seemed to be just the same shade as the scarlet tunic of Prince William's Welsh Guards uniform. The Prince and Princess of Wales are known to match their fashion with their children at major public events to create a sense of cohesion, a tradition they continued at Trooping on Saturday. Princess Kate and her kids were all smiles as they made their way to Horse Guards Parade, where cameras captured Louis looking at George with love. The clear affection called back to a fun moment at the VE Day commemorations on May 5, where Prince Louis copied Prince George fixing his hair! In a hilarious snippet shared by the Daily Mail, George pushed his hair back in place to make it stay in the windy weather. Watching closely, Louis copied the same move — either inspired by his brother or playfully imitating him! Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! While Prince George's hair stayed in place after the subtle brush, Prince Louis didn't have the same luck, and he blew his bangs back in an exaggerated way after they flopped down again over his forehead. The sweet scene was an intimate glimpse of the tight bond the royal brothers share, and one sure to be on display at Trooping the Colour today. Read the original article on People

Kate Middleton Turns Heads in Aquamarine Dress at Trooping the Colour
Last year, all eyes were on Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour as she made her return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. Things have gone back to status quo this year, though the Princess of Wales has somewhat scaled back her public engagements. When she announced in January she was in remission, Kate wrote, 'I remain focussed on recovery. 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. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.' At Trooping the Colour today, Kate looked lovely in an aquamarine Catherine Walker dress coat that feature ivory contrast lapels and cuffs. She also wore a matching wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill. She accessorized with Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, which Kate frequently wears—most recently during the Qatar State Visit and on Remembrance Sunday. She also had the the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch pinned to her jacket. In the parade, Kate rode in the Ascot Landau carriage with her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Prince William, meanwhile, rode on horseback. Since marrying Prince William in 2011, Kate has not missed Trooping the Colour. Today's outfit is also a monochrome bright color, opting for a new shade, and is notably not a rewear. Kate, a longtime fan of Catherine Walker, has only worn the brand one other time to Trooping—back in 2015. Kate has been on a repeat streak lately, opting to pull items from her closet instead of debuting new clothes. For example, last month at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party, she rewore the butter yellow Emilia Wickstead dress she last wore during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. At a concert celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, she rewore the white Self-Portrait dress and a five-strand pearl necklace from jeweler Susan Caplan that she debuted earlier this year. In February, she went deep into her archives to rewear a coat from 2007. You Might Also Like 12 Weekend Getaway Spas For Every Type of Occasion 13 Beauty Tools to Up Your At-Home Facial Game
