Meghan Markle rang in her 44th birthday on August 4 with Prince Harry and their two children in Montecito, California.

The Duchess of Sussex has previously expressed her love for low-key celebrations, often opting for simple pleasures like French fries with a candle on top.

As midnight struck, royal fans took to social media to shower her with birthday wishes and blessings.

Among the lot, many were stunned to learn her actual age, while others urged her to dish the secret behind her age-defying appearance.

King Charles's beloved royal residence, Balmoral Estate, announced its closure to the public on August 4 until further notice.

The decision came after Storm Floris wreaked havoc across Scotland, Northern England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

A statement from the Estate issued a firm warning to visitors, urging them to stay safe amid dangerous weather conditions.

Balmoral is the famous summer retreat of the royal family, where generations have spent their annual holidays together in privacy and tradition.

More than 50 years after one of the most shocking royal security breaches in British history, the man behind it, Ian Ball, is back in the spotlight.

Now 77, Ball has resurfaced with a disturbing new narrative, claiming he was “more scared than Princess Anne was” during his 1974 attempt to kidnap her at gunpoint.

Once branded a 'very dangerous loner,' Ball is now a free man, living near Notting Hill, quietly released from Broadmoor psychiatric hospital in 2019.

One would have thought time might have cooled his obsession, but clearly, it hasn’t, as evidenced in his new interview.
