New Idea 7 May 2018

It was the moment the whole world was waiting for – the first glimpse of the new little royal prince and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third child. As New Idea went to press the baby’s name was not yet released, but Wills teased royal watchers desperate to find out the title of his new son by cracking a string of jokes. He looked weary at the Anzac Day memorial service in Westminster Abbey as he sat with brother Harry and Meghan Markle, but saw the funny side of the waiting name game. As William met Sir Jerry Mateparae, New Zealand’s High Commissioner to the UK, the Dean of Westminster said, ‘Jerry would like it to be Jerry’ to which Wills quipped, ‘Jerry’s a strong name.’ Prince William also teased the name Alexander…

WHAT THE PSYCHIC SAYS BY SALLY MORGAN William and Catherine’s new baby boy will be the noisiest of her children so far. He will be known as the charmer of the Cambridges and have many female admirers. As an adult he will not be drawn to any of the armed forces like his predecessors, he will flourish in commerce. I feel also that his greatest loves will be Italy and fast cars. He will have a long and happy life which is all his parents want for him, happiness. I think there will be another pregnancy announcement late 2020 or early 2021. WHAT DO THE STARS HOLD? BY ROYAL ASTROLOGER DEBBIE FRANK There is another royal bull on the block with the arrival of the new prince. The most famous royal Taurean is of course,…

The world stopped in awe at the adorable moment Prince George and Princess Charlotte visited their newborn sibling last week. William and Kate were keen for their children to meet the baby first, so dad went home in the afternoon to fetch George, four, and Charlotte, who turns three this week. Before leaving, Wills told the royal reporters he’d be ‘back in a minute’ and headed home to collect the kids after they had returned from school and nursery, just five hours after Kate had given birth. When they arrived, George was dressed smartly in his school uniform and looked slightly timid, but Charlotte grinned and waved at the waiting banks of photographers as their dad led them up the steps of the hospital. As William later commented, the pair were ‘delighted to meet…

Harry’s bride-to-be looked ever the seasoned royal as she attended her first official remembrance service with her fiance. Looking the picture of perfection in an elegant ensemble, throughout the event she was seen lovingly glancing at Harry, but was close to tears as the emotion of the service touched her heart. William also appeared a little weary during the event, likely from an exhausting couple of days with his newborn arriving. But that didn’t stop him from graciously interacting with his soon-to-be-sister-in-law, who he greeted with great warmth.…

She’s already making history as the first royal female to retain her position in succession to the throne, but Princess Charlotte, who turns three this week, is also making her mark as a star. The cherubic tot sent the public into meltdown when she visited her new baby brother in hospital last week. Looking like the ever-perfect princess, Charlotte wowed the crowds with her adorable outfit, beaming smile and graceful royal wave – which she did not once, but twice. Social media went into a frenzy as they described the royal tot ‘as the cutest thing ever’. Another claimed she ‘stole the show’ and her wave ‘melted her heart’. One claimed that she was ‘their favourite thing on the internet’, while another went as far to say she could be the ‘next…
