Following the death of a Welsh pizza seller they met last year (who passed away from cancer at the age of 47), Kate Middleton and Prince William penned a heartfelt letter to the late man’s wife.
In an excerpt from a new book about Kate Middleton titled Catherine, The Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen (which hit shelves on August 6), the passage revealed how the mother of three was very upfront with her father-in-law, King Charles, about how she would be carrying out her royal duties from the start: She would put her children first.

In the middle of his summer break, King Charles traveled to Southport, England to meet local residents as well as the survivors and families of the victims of the terrible tragedy that occurred in the town on July 29 when three girls were killed during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class from a stabbing attack. The monarch was photographed interacting with members of the local community.
ITV announced a new documentary centered around Queen Camilla’s efforts to combat domestic violence is scheduled to premiere late this year. Titled Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors, fans will get to see the queen like never before, through special footage of the royal meeting with domestic violence survivors and hosting round-tables with young adults.

Throughout Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s four-day trip in Colombia, the Duchess of Sussex has stepped out in a number of show-stopping looks, including her various sleeveless ensembles, Chanel slingbacks and a Johanna Ortiz mauve-pink number.
Speaking of the duchess’s Colombia tour fashion looks, the mother of two also rocked a pair of dazzling butterfly earrings that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
In addition, Prince Harry also donned a sentimental piece of jewelry of his own. At one point during their four-day Colombia trip, the Duke of Sussex sported a necklace that features three pendants—a tiger’s eye stone and two silver plaques that are each etched with the cardiogram of the Prince's children, Archie and Lilibet—all on black cord.
During the couple’s visit to the Colegio La Giralda school in Santa Fe, Markle shared a touching update about her 5-year-old son, Archie. Then, during an “Afro Woman and Power” panel, the Suits alum opened up about her 3-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet.
Footage of the royal couple dancing with the Pies de Sol Dance Theatre group at the Delia Zapata Olivella National Arts Center, Colombia, surfaced online—and they looked like total pros.
After Markle and Prince Harry stopped salsa dancing, the duchess was photographed pulling her husband in for a passionate kiss.

This week, Crown Prince Hussein posted an Instagram photo of himself and his baby girl, Princess Iman bint, in his arms. While dressed in a military uniform and cargo boots, the proud dad appears to be smiling down at his baby girl as she sleeps on his chest. Meanwhile, Baby Iman is wearing a cute pink onesie with a matching hat.
