We’d love to know what Charles said to get Anne to that level of hysterics! HAVING A LAUGH Cheeky little monkey! MIA GRACE TINDALL, three, had a funny way of getting her mother ZARA TINDALL’s attention while she was busy chatting to a friend at The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in Lincolnshire, UK.

Jamie & Katie Break in’ all the rules – in love and in public! RISKY BUSINESS Finally, after four exhausting years of hiding and flat-out denying their love, with one romantic beach walk Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx have taken their romance public. Spotted strolling hand-in-hand along the shores of Malibu, what appears to be a carefree public display of affection is actually a very powerful statement – Katie is finally free from her ex, Tom Cruise. With the actress reportedly bound by a clause in her 2012 divorce contract with Tom, 55, that prohibited her from dating publicly for five years, this moment has been a long time coming for Katie, 38, and Jamie, 49, who were first linked when spotted dancing together at a charity event in 2013. ‘Katie signed a clause in her…

HONEYMOON ALBUM TRUE LOVE Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have married in a secret royal ceremony, breaking away from official palace protocol by exchanging vows near the Queen’s private Balmoral residence. In a move that’s been described as the biggest royal secret in history, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate service at Crathie Kirk on July 29 in front of their immediate families. The pair reportedly plan to reaffirm their vows in an official ceremony at Westminster Abbey in the coming months, but for now have chosen to keep their wedding private. ‘This is for us,’ Meghan told Vanity Fair last week. ‘It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.’ Honeymoon photos of the couple celebrating their secret wedding have now…

It’s official! Prince William and Duchess Kate are expecting twins – and it’s a boy and a girl! It’s been confirmed that Kensington Palace is alive with double joy celebrations, as the UK royal family prepare to welcome their first twins in more than 700 years. ‘The duke and duchess are absolutely having twins,’ says a trusted high-ranking palace aide. ‘The duchess is having regular ultrasounds due to her chronic morning sickness, and it’s been confirmed that they’re set to welcome two babies. ‘The Queen is delighted – this is a very happy surprise for everyone.’ Even Prince George couldn’t help but share his excitement over the twins news, with the four-year-old telling friends during his first week of school that he’s going to have a ‘new baby brother and a new baby sister’. ‘No-one…

GABRIELLA & JACQUES JOSEPHINE & VINCENT JEAN & MARGARETHA NICOLAS & AYMERIC While it’s been more than 700 years since the British royal family welcomed twins, there’s been a spate of double baby joy celebrations in other royal families around Europe. Our own Princess Mary of Denmark welcomed twins Vincent and Josephine in 2011, while Monaco’s Princess Charlene is also mum to two-year-old twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques. Prince Laurent and Princess Claire of Belgium are also parents to 11-year-old twin boys, Prince Nicolas and Prince Aymeric – the first twins in a European royal family in nearly 50 years, after the arrival of Prince Jean and Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg in 1957.…

While the world celebrates Wills and Kate’s latest pregnancy, the arrival of new heirs to the throne means some serious changes for the royal family. First of all, for the first time in history, two-year-old Princess Charlotte will stay fourth in line to the throne – even if her parents welcome another boy. In years gone by, a baby boy heir would overtake any girls in the line of succession – as happened to Princess Anne after younger brothers Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were born. But all that changed after the Queen altered succession laws in 2015, ending the archaic sexist tradition. In another twist, a new baby will see Prince Andrew slip to seventh in line to the throne, meaning he will no longer have to ask his mother’s permission to…
