Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez shared unexpected wedding singer with Kate Middleton and Prince William at $50M nuptials
Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos' lavish three-day wedding celebration shared a surprising connection to the royal nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. On June 27, Ellie Goulding sang at the billionaire and the former entertainment reporter's wedding reception on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, according to People magazine. The British singer previously gave a performance at William and Kate's second wedding reception after they tied the knot April 29, 2011, in London. The Prince and Princess of Wales shared their first dance while Goulding sang her cover of Elton John's 1971 hit 'Your Song.' Goulding also performed 'Your Song' at Bezos and Sánchez's star-studded bash Friday. Famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli's son, Matteo Bocelli, sang a cover of Elvis Presley's 'Can't Help Falling in Love' as the newlyweds' first dance song. William and Kate's first wedding reception was a lunchtime affair thrown by the late Queen Elizabeth II while King Charles hosted the pair's second, more intimate wedding reception in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace. 4 Ellie Goulding sang 'Your Song' at the star-studded wedding reception for Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos.

While Goulding has yet to speak publicly about her performance during the Bezos-Sánchez wedding festivities, she previously opened up about singing for William and Kate. During a 2012 interview with the Daily Mail, Goulding recalled meeting William before the royal nuptials and learned that they were fans of her music. 4 Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez Bezos got married in Venice, Italy, on June 27, 2025. @laurensanchezbezos via REUTERS However, the two-time Grammy nominee shared she was shocked when she received an offer to perform for the couple on their wedding day. 'I knew they liked my songs, but I didn't walk away from meeting William thinking it might lead to a gig at Buckingham Palace,' she recalled. 'Then I got a phone call suggesting there might be something in the offing, but I didn't tell anyone for a long time,' Goulding continued. 4 The Prince and Princess of Wales shared their first dance while Goulding performed 'Your Song' in 2011. REUTERS 'I wasn't told to stay quiet, but I thought it best to keep things under my hat,' she added. 'I knew there would be massive interest in the wedding, so I wanted to keep something private. In the end, somebody leaked it, but I'm glad we managed to keep it under wraps for a while.' Goulding admitted she was nervous ahead of her high-profile gig as William and Kate's wedding singer. 'Performing the first dance of the night, 'Your Song' was nerve-wracking,' she recalled. 'But William and Kate were very appreciative. They are an awesome couple and told me how much they enjoyed it. My band and I stayed at the reception all night, and it's something I'll treasure forever.' 4 Goulding was one of the many celebrity guests who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding festivities in Italy. James Breeden for NY Post Goulding later serenaded William and Kate again with her 2011 song 'Starry Eyed' and some of her other original tracks. She also performed covers of famous songs, including The Killers' 'Mr. Brightside' and Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition.' In 2022, Goulding reunited with William and Kate when she performed at the prince's Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony. Bezos and Sánchez's reception also featured performances by Usher, who sang his hit 'Yeah,' and sets by DJ Cassidy, DJ Kygo and DJ Mei Kwok, according to People. Numerous celebrities attended the reception, including Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Sydney Sweeney, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Karlie Kloss, Josh Kushner, Bill Gates and Queen Rania of Jordan.

Harry has William and the King over a barrel – they'll look so petty if they ignore his latest request
PRINCE Harry has King Charles and William over a barrel and will make them look 'petty' if they ignore his latest request, according to experts. The Duke of Sussex, 40, has invited both members of his estranged family to the next Invictus Games in 2027. 5 If the King and Prince William attend it could mark a big step towards reconciliation with Harry Credit: Getty 5 The brothers have been at loggerheads ever since Harry and Meghan quit the royal family in 2020 Credit: Splash 5 Harry's invite runs the risk of making the monarch and his brother look "petty" Credit: Getty Harry has drawn up the invitations in advance to give the King and Prince William time to fit it into their schedules, despite it clashing with a royal bash. The ceremony will kick off at Birmingham's NEC on July 12, 2027, and will wrap up on July 17. The event falls on the same day as Queen Camilla's 80th birthday, a special occasion that will surely be celebrated by the royal family. But if the monarch and his eldest son were to attend it could mark the biggest step towards reconciliation so far. Read more Royals news Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Royal Correspondent, Bronte Coy, said if the duo don't attend, it runs the risk of looking "petty". She said: "I think this is such a difficult one, I've given this one a lot of thought. "There's a lot of sympathy, understanding and respect for the King's and William's position because I think anyone can relate that if you've been spoken about publicly, and had your personal issues with family members aired in that way, of course you would be angry. "And of course, you'd be well within your right to shut it down and cut him off because there's no trust." Most read in Royals But Coy added that the event goes "beyond Harry", especially when the military are involved. She added: "But it's in the UK and you're talking about the military community of which the royals are very, very, very entwined. "You do run the risk of looking a little bit petty if they don't go and support it, given their position in supporting the military community." "I think it's going to particularly complicated and something that is going to be discussed a lot in the palace." Also speaking on the show was ex-palace spokesman, Dickie Arbiter, who said: "I think Harry has flagged up that he would like his dad and his brother there. "But you have to clear up a lot of bad air to get them there because William really doesn't want to have anything to do with him. "A parent is slightly different - he loves his son but he's very hurt by what his son has done and there doesn't seem to be any move of rapprochement." He added: "It would cause a massive headache because you don't just roll over having been rubbished for such a long time. "To rubbish the royal family to that extent and then expect everybody to roll over, kiss and make up, all is forgiven. "There's an equation to this and the other half to the equation is Mrs Sussex." This comes after Harry revealed last month that "I would like to get my father and brother back" in his Prince Harry practices his German as he shares video message to mark country's first Veteran's Day It's not yet known whether Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, will be in attendance after the Duke It comes as Harry said a reconciliation with his family lay in the Charles' hands. The Duke told the BBC that there was no reason to keep fighting but that his father wouldn't speak to him over the security row. Harry said Charles "won't speak to me because of this security stuff", after "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious", Harry continued. Harry also sensationally blamed the King for his woes and claimed "this whole thing could be resolved through him". There was hope for reconciliation last year when Harry travelled to the UK to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his Invictus Games. However, the King and Harry failed to meet due to the Monarch's "full programme". And the Duke was offered to spend his time at one of the royal apartments - however he turned it down in what Meanwhile, Princes William and Harry have not been in direct communication since the release of Harry's controversial memoir, Spare, in January 2023. Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year. The brothers have been at loggerheads since A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace. Once she'd returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat. He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly. The younger prince reportedly didn't take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he "went mental". Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours. Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced. The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign. The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure - but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.

Critics Rip ‘Wannabe Dictator' Trump for LA Troop Deployment
Critics of the administration have lined up to bash President Donald Trump as an 'authoritarian' after he sent the National Guard to quash protests in Los Angeles against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 'We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism,' Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, said on CNN Sunday morning. 'This guy wants all of the power. He does not believe in the constitution, he does not believe in the rule of law.' Trump announced Saturday that he was federalizing the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 troops to Los Angeles, where protests against ICE raids erupted this week—a move California Governor Gavin Newsom blasted as 'purposefully inflammatory' and warned would 'only escalate tensions.' The last time a president overrode a governor to seize control of a state's National Guard was in 1965, when former President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to Alabama to protect civil rights marchers, according to The New York Times. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) branded Trump as a 'wannabe dictator' in a statement, while California Senator Adam Schiff of Los Angeles blasted Trump's deployment of National Guard members as a politically motivated stunt with far-reaching consequences. 'If the Guard is needed to restore peace, the Governor will ask for it. But continuing down this path will erode trust in the National Guard and set a dangerous precedent for unilateral misuse of the Guard across the country,' Schiff said. Former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor, who served in the first Trump administration, said Trump's latest move is 'the most significant act you've seen yet in the Trump administration' and puts him one step closer to what Taylor claims he's always wanted to do: 'taking control of national law enforcement.' Speaking on MSNBC's The Weekend, Taylor said that during Trump's first term, 'his own lieutenants were worried he would create a de facto police state if he was going to be deploying the military on U.S. soil.' 'That was our fear, and we are seeing potentially the early innings of that play out in real-time,' he added. The National Guard was last federalized in 1992, when President George H.W. Bush deployed troops to respond to the L.A. riots—at the request of then-Governor Pete Wilson and then-Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley. This time, neither Newsom nor Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass requested federal intervention, and officials from the LAPD and sheriff's department said the demonstrations, despite some flare-ups of violence, were under control, according to The Washington Post. 'Sending federalized guard troops to Southern California, without regard for the authority or approval of local or state officials, is a tactic we associate with authoritarian regimes, not the United States,' said Roman Palomares, president and board chairman of League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a civil rights group. 'For the federal government to take over the California National Guard, without the request of the governor, to put down protests is truly chilling,' Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law and a leading scholar on constitutional law, told the Los Angeles Times. 'It is using the military domestically to stop dissent. It certainly sends a message as to how this administration is going to respond to protests. It is very frightening to see this done,' he said. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt justified the deployment by claiming that 'violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles.' 'These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens,' she told the Daily Beast in a statement. 'The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely.' Echoing a similar narrative, Trump has attacked Newsom on Truth Social: 'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!'

She also wore a baseball cap pulled low over her dark hair, just like 51-year-old Posh does — and even had a similar pout. But it was not the first time Jackie appeared to have drawn fashion inspiration from her boyfriend's mum. During Paris Fashion Week in March Jackie was pictured wearing a navy satin gown almost identical to one worn by Victoria. Jackie has also been seen wearing a number of looks from Posh's Victoria Beckham brand, in a sure sign she has had the star's seal of approval. Cruz and Jackie have been together since April last year — and Posh and hubby David appear to have none of the problems they do with their eldest son Brooklyn, 26. He and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, are currently locked in a feud with his parents and missed David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month. But Cruz and Jackie were there — and even performed Dolly Parton classic Islands in the Stream at a family dinner. 9 During Paris Fashion Week in March, Jackie was pictured wearing a navy satin gown Credit: The Mega Agency 9 Jackie's Paris gown was almost identical to the one worn by Victoria, above Credit: Instagram 9 Cruz and Jackie have been together since April last year Credit: Goff 9 Jackie has also been seen wearing a number of looks from Posh's Victoria Beckham brand Credit: Goff 9 Cruz and Jackie made it to David's 50th birthday celebrations Credit: Goff 9 Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz did not attend David's 50th birthday bash Credit: Getty
