Princess of Wales delights tennis fans with a surprise appearance at Wimbledon

Princess Kate wowed fans at Wimbledon today as she made a surprise appearance at the ladies' singles final. The Princess of Wales has been making a slow return to public duties since undergoing cancer treatment in recent months. Kate stepped out at the finals, watching US' Amanda Anisimova and Poland's Iga Swiatek battle it out on the court. It's the first time Kate has attended an event since cancelling her appearance at Ascot last month. ‌ She was said to be disappointed to miss the famous social and sporting occasion in Berkshire with her husband and the King and Queen. Wimbledon is currently on its 13th day of schedule, with the event taking place at the famous All England Lawn Tennis Club. ‌ Kate, 43, has been a regular at Wimbledon since she married into the Royal Family in 2011 and rarely misses the occasion. Throughout the years, the Princess of Wales has worn a collection of chic and stylish ensembles to the courts, wearing designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Safiyaa and Balmain. Kate made a surprise appearance last year in the midst of her cancer treatment, matching with her daughter Princess Charlotte in a purple Safiyaa dress. ‌ In 2023, Kate attended three different days at Wimbledon, sporting differing green looks on each occasion. She presented Carlos Alcaraz with the Wimbledon trophy on her third and final day. In 2022, Kate presented Novak Djokovic with the Wimbledon trophy on centre court, dressed in a classy blue and white polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich. She also made two more appearances at the games that year. ‌ In 2021, Kate returned following a year off due to the pandemic. She was seen wearing a face mask and a polka dot skirt with a navy blazer for the occasion. Kate's first ever appearance came just months after she married Prince William in 2011. The Princess showed off her tan in a classic white dress by Temperley London. Of the Royal Family, The Duke of Kent is particularly well-known for his involvement with the Wimbledon Championships. ‌ As President of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 1969, each summer Prince Edward attended Wimbledon and presented the winners' trophies to the champions at the end of the tournament. While Kate is known for making several appearances at Wimbledon, insiders think this might be her one and only appearance at this year's games as she slowly returns to her public duties. Kate is in remission from cancer, having announced it in January 2025. This news came after she publicly revealed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024. She has been focusing on her recovery and has acknowledged the challenging journey of adjusting to a "new normal" after treatment.

Princess Kate's "aura" at red carpet events went viral on TikTok as fans praised her handling of an unexpected etiquette breach by Tom Cruise. The Princess of Wales was arriving for the London premiere of Top Gun: Maverick with husband Prince William and Cruise, who stars in the movie, in May 2022. Cruise, no doubt wanting to be gentlemanly, offered Kate a hand to help her up the stairs Princess Kate is seen [L] at the EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, in London, England, on February 10, 2019, and [R} at the 'Top Gun: Mavertick' Royal Film Performance at... Princess Kate is seen [L] at the EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Albert Hall, in London, England, on February 10, 2019, and [R} at the 'Top Gun: Mavertick' Royal Film Performance at Leicester Square, London, on May 19, 2022. More Samir Hussein/WireImage Why It Matters The video was liked 26,600 times and watched 507,000 times after it was posted with the caption: "Real aura." What to Know The TikTok post starts with footage of Kate wearing a black-and-white off-the-shoulder gown by Roland Mouret, exuding Hollywood glamour, at the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in London in May 2022. A notable moment occurred when Cruise offered his hand to assist her up the stairs, a gesture that sparked discussions about royal protocol and highlighted her composed response. Once at the top of the stairs, Kate can be seen saying "thank you," indicating her desire to have her hand back, before switching her clutch bag in order to stop him taking her by the hand again. At the time, Dr. Erin Watson, a Sky News Australia contributor, wrote on X: "Kate Middleton then immediately switched her clutch so he didn't touch her again as she went up the next set of stairs like a total #bossroyal who wasn't going to be touched by Tom Cruise." "Kate Middleton is all of us strategically shifting our clutch because someone thinks they can touch you but #nope," she added. The next clip showed Kate at the EE British Academy Film Awards in 2019 in a one-shouldered white Alexander McQueen gown, complemented by pearl and diamond drop earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana. Her ensemble was praised, with news reports noting the ethereal quality of her outfit. The final clip in the video was not from the red carpet but rather from a particularly poignant appearance at Wimbledon in July 2024, months after she began chemotherapy for cancer that February. Kate's attendance at the tournament had been in doubt after her retreat from public life while she focused on her health but she made it and was rewarded with a standing ovation from tennis fans. Alongside Princess Charlotte, Kate stunned in a regal purple Safiyaa dress, one of the colors associated with the tennis tournament. What People Are Saying One fan wrote on TikTok, "can't wait for them to become king and Queen" while another said: "When you walk into a room and everyone stops what they are doing to look." A third wrote: "Notice how Princess Catherine changes hand for her clutch bag so Tom Cruise can't hold her hand again up the next flight of stairs. Savvy lady. "He was only being a gent BUT, While there's no official rule against it, the 'unwritten rule' suggests avoiding physical contact beyond a handshake with members of the royal family."

Billy Ray Cyrus Reportedly 'Desperate' For 'A New Version' Of Family With Elizabeth Hurley

Billy Ray Cyrus' blossoming relationship with Elizabeth Hurley has motivated him to fix the broken bond within his family. The Country singer has repeatedly made waves for his estranged relationship with some of his children, especially his famous daughter Miley Cyrus. Now, he is reportedly more inclined to rekindle their relationship thanks to his new girlfriend. Billy Ray Cyrus welcomed Miley and her younger siblings, Noah and Braison Cyrus, during his marriage to Tish Cyrus. The former couple's relationship experienced many ups and downs, including multiple divorce filings, before they finally separated in 2022. Love has reportedly changed Billy Ray in more ways than one, as a source recently claimed he wishes to introduce his new lover to his family. They noted he was head over heels for Hurley and believed his children would love her too. Billy Ray, per the insider, saw Hurley as his good luck charm and suspected that she could be the bridge to rekindling his relationship with his estranged family. "He's had a huge turnaround when it comes to his mistake of a marriage and has admitted he should have listened to Miley," the source revealed. They told In Touch that Billy Ray had learned from his mistakes and was willing to swallow his pride if it meant Miley would forgive him. The same applied to Tish and her new husband, Dominic Purcell, with the insider noting the country singer was ready to apologize for any grief he had caused. Billy Ray's complete 180 seemed linked to his romance with Hurley as he wished to enjoy his new relationship while building a stronger bond with his family. The source stressed that he would do whatever was necessary to fix his mistakes and earn his loved ones' forgiveness, saying: "He isn't trying to go backwards, but he's hoping and praying that they can have a new beginning and a new version of their family." While his relationship with Miley has become estranged, Billy Ray has a good relationship with his other children. "Noah and Braison are still speaking to him, so he's counting his lucky stars that he at least has two kids that don't hate him," the insider added. Days before a source shared Billy Ray's desperate attempts to reunite with his family, The Blast covered his blossoming romance with Hurley. The couple turned heads at the opening of the Orizzonti/Rossi exhibition. The event celebrated Valentino's showcase in Rome, with the pair stepping out in their finest. Billy Ray and Hurley put on a stunning display as lovers, unable to keep their hands to themselves. The actress looked radiant in a hot pink Safiyaa gown that gave onlookers plenty to see with its plunging neckline design. Meanwhile, the country singer rocked his signature style. True to his country image, Billy Ray donned his trademark cowboy hat and shades while rocking a black jacket with leather accents. He completed the look with tight-fitting pants adorned with silver medallions. He and Hurley attended the event as a trio, with her son Damian looking dapper in a red suit. Billy Ray and Hurley's relationship began platonically while filming "Christmas in Paradise." They immediately bonded on set, with the singer noting they were so different, yet they felt strangely connected. Surprisingly, they didn't stay in contact after the movie. The couple reconnected two years later during a difficult time in Billy Ray's life. He was pleasantly surprised when Hurley contacted him to offer her support and cheer him on through his struggles, a move that paved the path to their romance. They officially became a couple and made their Instagram debut in April 2025. The post captured Billy Ray and Hurley cozying up on a farm while wearing blue ensembles. They looked happy and in love, as the media personality placed a tender kiss on the actress's cheek. Last month, Billy Ray caused a stir on Instagram after dropping a throwback video of him and Miley performing a song. The Blast reported that the touching video raised eyebrows because his ex-wife unfollowed their daughter hours later. Internet sleuths noticed that Tish had unfollowed Miley on Instagram and speculated if she was uncomfortable with a possible reconciliation with Billy Ray. However, she caught wind of the chatter and hit the follow button again, making many suspect she accidentally unfollowed her daughter. The timing of the incident was suspicious because Billy Ray reflected on his good time with Miley. The video he shared captured him on the guitar and his daughter on the piano while singing an emotional tune about missing and loving someone. "Can't wait to see this young lady. Crazy how time flies," he captioned the post. Does Billy Ray Cyrus stand a chance at reuniting with his family?

The pair attended the opening dinner for the 'Orizzonti | Rosso' exhibition at the stunning Palazzo Barberini. This marked their first public appearance together overseas since confirming their romance in April. Hurley, 59, dazzled in a vibrant Barbie-pink Safiyaa gown that hugged her figure and featured a plunging neckline with dramatic cape sleeves. She styled her brunette hair in soft waves and accessorised with statement earrings and silver platform sandals. This gave a subtle nod to her iconic '60s Austin Powers role, according to US Magazine. Her look was completed with a silver clutch and flawless makeup, including a smoky eye and nude lip. Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, complemented her with his signature country-rock vibe. He wore fitted black trousers adorned with silver medallions, a black jacket with leather accents, and classic Western boots. His look was topped off with a dark brown cowboy hat, sunglasses, and a thick chain necklace, keeping his trademark style intact. The couple was joined by Elizabeth's 23-year-old son, Damian Hurley, who made a bold statement in a striking red suit paired with sunglasses. The family trio posed arm-in-arm, radiating warmth and happiness as they entered the event in the heart of Italy's capital. Their romance took many by surprise when they went public with a cosy Instagram photo on Easter Sunday. They were locked in a loving embrace at Cyrus's Nashville estate. Since then, they have shared glimpses of their life, including countryside walks and off-road adventures, revealing a genuine connection built on shared interests. Elizabeth Hurley has spoken warmly about their bond, saying, 'We're actually quite similar and get on extremely well. We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country.' She added, 'We both love country music, movies, and cowboy boots, definitely'. Cyrus echoed this sentiment, recalling how their friendship blossomed into romance during a difficult period in his life. 'There was chemistry there. We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot,' he shared. Elizabeth Hurley, a British icon, and Cyrus, a country music legend, show that love knows no borders or genres. Their stylish debut in Rome also highlights the global nature of celebrity culture, where fashion and romance intersect on the world stage. As Hurley approaches her 60th birthday on 10 June, she plans to celebrate this milestone with Cyrus by her side.

Future Queen of the Netherlands Princess Catharina-Amalia Wears a 137-Year-Old Ruby Tiara to State Visit

When it comes to European royal families, the future is female. Though the British royal family has a male King and two male heirs behind him following the historic 70-year-reign of Queen Elizabeth, other royal families around Europe like Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands all have female monarchs on deck, including Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands. Amalia, 21, recently brought out a 137-year-old ruby tiara for a state visit, which she paired with matching earrings. The Princess of Orange wore the Mellerio Ruby Parure Tiara alongside a lavender Safiyaa dress, a label worn by both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. The Mellerio Ruby Parure Tiara belongs to the Dutch royal family's collection and was made by French jeweler Mellerio, according to Town & Country. The Court Jeweller shared that the tiara was made for Queen Emma around 1888, and every Dutch queen has worn it since, including Amalia's mother, Queen Maxima. Maxima last wore the topper last December at a state banquet honoring Portugal; for that occasion, Amalia wore the Dutch Star Tiara. Amalia, Maxima, and King Willem-Alexander welcomed Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman on April 15, hosting a state banquet to kick off a two-day state visit. This marks the Princess of Orange's third state banquet and comes almost exactly one year after her first state banquet on April 17 of last year, when the Dutch royal family welcomed King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain. (Princess of Orange, by the way, is a title that can only be held by the heir to the throne, similar to William's title of Prince of Wales in the U.K.) Princess Catharina-Amalia—who is currently a student at the University of Amsterdam—has previously admitted that she has an affinity for tiaras, writing in her 2021 biography (per People), 'I love tiaras. Show me a tiara, and I'll know where it came from. I can recognize all the tiaras of Europe.' 'I used to put them on from my mother,' she continued in her biography, released ahead of her 18th birthday. 'Then there would be one on her makeup table, and I would have it directly on my head.' She added, 'I really liked to be in my mother's jewelry anyway. When I was very little. She was preparing for an important dinner, and she shouted around the house, 'Amalia, where's that ring?'' Though being queen is in Amalia's future, she told biographer Claudia de Breij that she hoped it wouldn't be anytime soon: 'I said to my father, 'You just keep on eating healthy and exercising a lot,'' Amalia said.
