Call it a royal celebration with a Canadian twist! This is one of our favourite times of the year – when the Royal Family step out in all their splendour for Trooping the Colour – and we bring you the most unforgettable images of the day. From sweet moments on the palace balcony to the pageantry of the parade, this annual tradition always delivers magic. And that’s not all we’re celebrating.

Fox – who just turned 64 – with a moving retrospective on his incredible life, groundbreaking career and steadfast optimism. “Our challenges don’t define us. Our actions do,” says the…

George and Amal Clooney certainly know how to mix business with pleasure! The glamorous couple turned their appearance at the 2025 Tony Awards into a memorable date night – even if George didn’t end up nabbing a win for his role in the Broadway adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck. Just hours after the curtain closed on the Hollywood superstar’s three-month run – his first ever – on the Great White Way, he and Amal were at Radio City Music Hall, all glammed up for the annual celebration of theatre. George, 64, sported a classic black tuxedo – his hair, dyed black for the production, back to its salt-and-pepper glory. Amal, 47, breathtaking as always, wore a figure-hugging column gown by Tamara Ralph. After hearing that his wife had…

They grow up so fast! Barack and Michelle Obama were thrilled to show off their rarely seen daughters as their youngest celebrated her 24th turn around the sun. “Happy birthday to my sweet girl Sasha!” Michelle, 61, shared. “Can’t believe how quickly time has flown. I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become. Love you always!” Barack, 63, echoed the warm sentiments, telling Sasha, “Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift. I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you.” Their loving messages accompanied a beautiful family photo, with podcast host Michelle nestled between the recent university grad (above, 2nd R) and up-and-coming filmmaker Malia, 26. “They are smart, they are funny, they are wise in their own ways…

It’s been almost 28 years since the world lost Princess Diana. But ahead of what would have been her 64th birthday on July 1, her style remains as iconic as ever. “I think she’s still influencing fashion,” observes designer Jacques Azagury. “She could step out today and it would still be on-trend.” That influence is on full display at a potentially record-breaking auction of more than 300 items that include some of her most memorable looks from the likes of Catherine Walker, Elizabeth Emanuel and Versace. Speaking with Hello! at a preview of Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection at Julien’s Auctions – which will host the Los Angeles sale on June 26 – Jacques recalls how “dressing Diana was more about her” than the clothes. He’s best known…

When Gerard Butler had the chance to screen his latest movie – a live-action remake of the animated blockbuster How to Train Your Dragon – he barely recognized himself, which is understandable considering his transformation with costume and makeup. But the actor’s reaction? “That’s not even me – that’s my mom. “Normally, I’m watching me and I’m criticizing me, but I was like, ‘Is that even me?’ I almost saw more of my mom in there.” Reprising his epic character of Stoick the Vast in the reimagining of the DreamWorks film was a bittersweet process for the Scottish star, who couldn’t help but have his mom in mind. “She was very, very ill in the middle of [my making] this movie,” Gerard, 55, revealed during a press event attended by…

Mia Threapleton admits she wept tears of joy on the London Underground after learning she’d landed a leading role in The Phoenician Scheme. “I genuinely didn’t believe it was true,” Kate Winslet’s daughter tells us. “I was on a train at the time and I just sat down on the floor and had a little cry.” The role is a game changer for Mia, 24, who, while grateful for her mom’s advice and support, has never wanted to trade on her famous name. While trying out for the role, Mia got Oscar winner Kate to play opposite her character as she read lines for a self-tape sent to director Wes Anderson – but asked her mother to stay off-screen and disguise her voice, which she did by putting on a…

After years of speculation, it’s finally happened: David Beckham has received a knighthood! The 50-year-old former England captain was rewarded in the King’s Birthday Honours List for his services to sports and charity. “I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour,” he said. “It will take a little while for the news to sink in, but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.” David’s wife, Victoria Beckham, 51, is elated. “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official,” she posted, sharing a photo of the pair celebrating (top left). “Sir David Beckham!!!… I couldn’t be prouder of you.” The former Spice Girl – now Lady Beckham – is no stranger to royal…

Their bond has never been closer – as these family photos show. In a new portrait, Prince William looks every inch the doting dad as he hugs Princess Charlotte, 10, Prince Louis, 7, and Prince George, 11, outside their Norfolk country home, Anmer Hall – his two younger children coordinating with their father in dark-green sweaters. A candid black-and-white snap from the same shoot shows the prince laughing as he’s playfully tackled to the ground by all three kids. Both touching images were shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales on June 15. “Happy Father’s Day, Papa (before and after!). We love you! G, C & L,” the caption read, alongside a heart emoji. Across the pond, the children’s cousins Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, starred in…

CANCER JUNE 23 - JULY 23 How do you distinguish between a big risk and a small one? Rather than thinking about gains you might make, start by considering what’s at stake.

VIPs flocking to the fields included the gala’s guest of honour, famed author Margaret Atwood (above right), who crowned her peacock-inspired ensemble with newly green hair.

Feathered friends Al Ramsay and Ella Street (right) also turned heads. “A touch of whimsy ruled the day as we all delighted in getting dolled up,” Jeanne posted afterward. “Loved…

Wardrobe malfunctions happen – even when you’re a royal! Making a colourful entrance at the Royal Windsor Flower Show, the Duchess of Edinburgh was caught off balance when she accidentally stepped out of her tan leather Penelope Chilvers wedge shoe while curtsying deeply to King Charles. Thankfully, the chivalrous monarch, 76, reacted swiftly to his sister-in-law’s misstep by grabbing her arms and pulling her up to prevent a fall. His quick thinking drew applause from the crowd as the close-knit pair shared an affectionate embrace. Wearing a summery blue floral Me+Em dress and navy Frame corduroy blazer, Sophie, 60, was at the York Club in Windsor Great Park to officially kick off the 118th annual event on behalf of the monarch, who is a patron.

Diplomacy never looked so glamorous as Monaco rolled out the red carpet for a two-day state visit by French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte. Welcomed with full honours by Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, the French first couple arrived to a ceremonial flourish – complete with a military band and flag-bearing guards – at the Prince’s Palace of Monaco. The historic visit marked a strengthening of ties between France and the tiny principality it surrounds – but all eyes were also on the stylish women leading the way. Princess Charlene, 47, was the picture of polished poise in a mint-green Dior bouclé jacket teamed with elegant ivory trousers and matching pumps. The softly structured silhouette and subtle pearl buttons echoed her late mother-in-law Princess Grace’s signature understated…
