Prince William has long used his connection to football as more than just a personal passion. As president of the FA, he has used the sport as a powerful platform to support causes close to his heart. One major example is mental health. 

Through the Heads Up campaign, launched with the Royal Foundation and the FA, William helped bring conversations about mental wellbeing into professional and grassroots football, particularly encouraging men to speak openly.

Meghan Markle’s potential return to acting has faced fresh uncertainty after reports surrounding her rumored role in The Gentlemen stalled. The former Suits star has also parted ways with talent agency WME.

Now, former Hollywood agent Jeremy Zimmer has reportedly offered a blunt assessment of Meghan’s career and the Harry and Meghan brand, arguing that her influence has declined despite their continued public profile.

Princess Lilibet appears to be developing a love for photography, recently being spotted behind the camera while taking pictures of her father with a Polaroid. Meghan has also previously shared glimpses of Lilibet enjoying photography.

The hobby has an especially sweet royal connection, as Princess Kate is also known for her passion for photography and regularly captures portraits of her family. Lilibet’s interest could therefore be one more unexpected thing she shares with her aunt.

Yesterday’s question: With Prince Harry back in the UK, do you think the constant media focus on his rift with William overshadows the actual work of the Royal Family?

Our readers were clear: 70.48% said the family rift gets far too much attention, while 19.04% felt it sometimes does, but the royals’ work still receives enough coverage. Just 6.66% said the media focus reflects public interest, and 3.80% believe the rift is newsworthy in its own right.

Many readers called for the focus to shift back to the Royal Family’s public work. One reader said the brothers’ relationship is a personal matter and that their “public work and the positivity is worth more attention,” while another urged the press to “leave this alone” and give the family space to heal. A recurring sentiment was simple: enough of the rift, and more focus on the royals’ work.

Prince William and Princess Kate paid a poignant visit to the Leeds Rhinos, where they learned more about the lasting legacy of late rugby star Rob Burrow. The couple met former teammates and heard how Burrow continues to inspire the club and its wider community. 

Burrow, who died from motor neurone disease in 2024, dedicated his final years to raising awareness and funds for MND research. William and Kate also learned how the Leeds Rhinos Foundation is using sport to support health, education, inclusion and wellbeing, keeping Burrow’s mission alive. 🧿

King Charles has a quirky tradition when it comes to planting trees. After planting one, he has been known to give its branches a little shake. He has reportedly followed this practice with several trees over the years, adding a rather charming personal touch to his lifelong love of gardening. 🌳
