As we head into the hectic holiday season, the royals show no signs of slowing down. Their summer was filled with Olympics shout-outs, birthday celebrations and one newsworthy beard. September brought with it striking portraits and a heartfelt health update from the Princess of Wales herself.

Today, as part of their "October Rewind," the royals re-shared a number of exciting events to Instagram Stories, including a gorgeous photo of Kate Middleton wearing this season’s hottest color trend (a royal repeat, might I add), a striking profile of Prince William and a philanthropic collab with David Beckham. Here's everything you might have missed over the past 31 days.

The first slide was in honor of launching two new London Air Ambulance helicopters and featured one very famous friend: British soccer icon David Beckham.
The full-length video included both Prince William and David Beckham, with the soccer star praising the charity’s lifesaving efforts: “As soon as I was asked to be involved by Prince William it was something that I was very honored [by], in all honesty… This is something that is close to my heart and has been for a number of years. I’m an East End boy so every time we saw them in the air, you know it made us very proud.”

The next slide shared striking photos of both Kate Middleton and Prince William honoring recipients at this month’s Windsor Investitures (a special day when someone who has been awarded an honor receives their award from a member of the royal family). Kate’s snapshot shows her embracing award-winner Liz, who they referenced on Instagram as a “talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both. Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us.”
For the ceremony, Prince William wore his royal military uniform, while Kate donned a simple yet chic suit in this season’s hottest color trend: burgundy.
One of the final slides featured a haunting profile of Prince William (yes, with the beard still intact) giving a speech at The Centre Point awards, a charitable event held earlier this month at the iconic British Museum. Here, he celebrated the “remarkable achievements of young people who have transformed their lives after experiencing homelessness.” A cause close to Prince Williams’ heart, he shook hands and handed out awards to the special honorees of the night.
With the holidays on the horizon, I can’t wait to see what the royals have in store for November.
