Prince William and Kate Middleton Took Prince George and Princess Charlotte to a Soccer Match


On Saturday, the royal family partook in a tried-and-true fall Saturday outing: watching a soccer match. But all eyes were squarely on Prince George who unequivocally won the sporting event thanks to his, shall we say, more than enthusiastic celebrations.

The 6-year-old was spotted in the stands clapping, waving and cheering on Aston Villa (who also happens to be his dad’s favorite team) as they took on Norwich City. While Princess Charlotte watched quietly while seated next to Kate Middleton (Prince Louis did not seem to be in attendance) George was enthralled with every moment, turning to Prince William to share in his excitement.

The future king of England quickly began trending on Twitter for his over-the-top expressions — it’s what the rest of us look like watching Bachelor in Paradise.

Here’s George strategizing the team’s next moves with his dad:

Of Course Prince George and Princess Charlotte Were Adorable at Kate Middleton and Prince William's Sailing Race


The Cambridge family has officially returned from vacation (reportedly in Mustique) and is back to royal duties across the pond.

Kate Middleton and Prince William brought along their two oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, for their engagement today—and it looks like the whole family was having lots of fun. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are competing with each other in the inaugural King’s Cup Regatta, a sailing race to benefit some of their patronages, including Child Bereavement UK and the Early Years program from the couple’s Royal Foundation.

“Their Royal Highnesses hope that The King’s Cup will become an annual event, bringing greater awareness to the wider benefits of sport, whilst also raising support and funds for the causes that The Duke and Duchess support,” a caption on their official Instagram explains.

Bonus: We get to see their royal highnesses looking casual in shorts—and another magnificent ponytail on Middleton.

But it’s the little royals who really stole the show. George and Charlotte were spotted on another boat with their grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, cheering on their mom and dad. George was especially nautical in a captain’s hat. And it looks like he’s lost another front tooth since the birthday photos his parents released when he turned six.

The Palace Just Released Adorable New Photos of Prince George for His Sixth Birthday


Prince George, the third in line to the British throne, turns 6 tomorrow—and to mark the occasion, Kensington Palace has released new portraits of the little princeling. The trio of pics first feature George smiling in an English soccer jersey; in the second, he’s adorably rumpled in a polo shirt; and in the third, he’s laughing delightedly in full-on kid mode.

The portraits were once again taken by his mother, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, who’s frequently behind the lens for the adorable pics of the junior Cambridges the palace releases. Taken by Middleton or not, annual birthday portraits of the royal children are something of a thing: Kensington Palace also shared new photos in May of his sister Princess Charlotte, photographed by Middleton for her fourth birthday, as well as portraits of George for his fifth birthday last year.

As for what Prince George himself will be doing to celebrate, there are conflicting reports. The Sun reported on Sunday (July 21), per an anonymous source, that little George specifically asked to keep it low-key with a down-to-earth family gathering, likely taking place at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. (George will be spending the majority of his summer break from school there.) The source also says that while the almost-6-year-old George has made friends at school in London and that there’s “talk” of a birthday gathering with them, quite a few of them will be off on summer vacations of their own, so it’s difficult to get everyone together for a celebration.

However, the The Sun also reported last Thursday (July 18) that it’s possible the prince might have jetted off to Mustique once again for his birthday. The Cambridges are reportedly going there once again with dates that could include George’s birthday tomorrow—and there’s precedent: It’s where they went for his fifth birthday last year. We’ll have to wait and see which of these extremely different plans Prince George opted for.

Although his birthday isn’t until tomorrow, he might already have had a few early birthday presents come his way: The Sun also reports that Queen Elizabeth II, his grandmother, leaves little presents at the foot of his bed whenever he stays with her. Adorable, right? Happy sixth birthday, Prince George!

Prince George and Princess Charlotte Are Reportedly as Obsessed With Baby Archie as We Are


Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor may be one of the most famous babies in the world—his parents are out here sharing his milestones with the likes of Beyoncé and Jay-Z—but to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, he’s simply their adorable little cousin.

Us Weekly reports that George and Charlotte are especially taken with the newest member of the royal family. “They dote on him,” a source told the magazine. “Charlotte treats Meghan and Harry’s son like a little doll and is always asking after him.”

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle recently took all the kids to watch their fathers, Prince William and Prince Harry, play in a celebrity polo match—and from the photos, it looks like a good time was had by all. Even Prince Louis got in on the action, playing with his mom’s sunglasses and making faces for Aunt Meghan and Archie.

Us Weekly also reports that George, who will turn 6 on July 22, and Charlotte, 4, also include their little brother in playtime. But it sounds like Charlotte may be running the show. “Charlotte’s a bit of a tomboy and loves climbing and sports,” their source said. “Although Charlotte’s much bossier than George, she looks up to him. They squabble over small things like toys, but the majority of the time they get along.”

Recent reports indicate that the splitting of the royal households has eased whatever tension might have been present between the Cambridges and the Sussexes. Middleton and Markle, who have been the subject of many a tabloid headline about a “royal feud” are apparently getting closer, too. “They’re each a little more relaxed,” a source says. “They have more in common now.”

It’s not surprising, then, that the royal cousins are also bonding. Harry and William are famously tight with their own cousins—Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie. After all, who else could truly understand what growing up in the royal spotlight is actually like?

These New Pictures of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis Will Make Your Heart Melt


We’ve had a slew of portraits of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s brood of mini-royals recently, but a new batch released by Kensington Palace on Sunday (May 19) might just be the most adorable ones yet. There’s some tough competition, too: In April, Middleton took new portraits of Prince Louis just before his first birthday. A week later, Middleton also shared new photos of Princess Charlotte in honor of the little one’s fourth birthday. It’s safe to say the kids have been looking as adorable as ever, but the new photos of those two, plus Prince George, might just take the cake. Bonus: Will and Kate appear in some, too.

The new portraits, released by Kensington Palace on Sunday, were taken amid the flora at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show, which kicks off this week. But not just any gardens: The setting for the pics is a “Back to Nature”-themed garden the duchess designed herself for the event, inspired by how time spent outdoors benefits not just kids, but people’s well-being in general.

And honestly, the garden looks pretty dreamy. That’s partly thanks, no doubt, to some special assistants: George, Charlotte, and Louis apparently helped collect sticks, leaves, and pine cones from their home for the garden.

The pictures also capture a special milestone: Prince Louis is walking! (P.S. Those overalls he’s wearing? Prince George wore them first, back in 2014.)

The duchess is also pictured playfully swinging on a seat in the garden and working on its creation with some of the flower show’s teammates. There’s a secret nod to the children’s grandmother, Princess Diana, that Middleton worked into her forest garden, too: Look at the photo of Middleton in the rope swing, and you’ll see some forget-me-nots in there—Di’s favorite flower.

The garden ties in to Middleton’s larger work as a royal: “The Duchess has committed to making early childhood development the focus of her work in the years to come, and believes that providing children with the opportunity to spend time outdoors can play an important role,” Kensington Palace’s caption for one of the pictures reads.

“I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children,” she told the BBC. “I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together.”

Apparently Prince George Has a Nickname—and It's Not What You Would Expect


Prince George of Cambridge—you know, that adorable little 5-year-old royal who will likely one day be king—is a boy of many names, apparently. Of course, he literally has many names on his birth certificate: George Alexander Louis, to be exact. But he also reportedly revealed that he goes by another name that we never would have guessed.

The Daily Mail reports that a woman walking her dog casually happened upon the young prince and his sister Princess Charlotte while they were playing in a stream near their grandmother Carole Middleton’s home in Berkshire, England.

First, can you imagine going out for a leisurely stroll and seeing the heir to the throne and his little sister? Luckily, this unnamed woman kept her composure—and followed the directions of the royals’ protection officer to not snap any photos.

But she did strike up a convo with the little ones while George petted her dog. “Just to be friendly, I engaged in a bit of small talk, and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it,” she says. “To my astonishment, he said, ‘I’m called Archie,’ with a big smile on his face. I don’t know why he calls himself Archie, but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”

This revelation could mean a number of things. Maybe he’s been sneaking into the room while his parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William, are bingeing Riverdale on Netflix (a hypothetical, of course). Perhaps George already has an alter ego, like the royal version of Beyonc´é’s Sasha Fierce. Or maybe, at age 5, he already knows how to brilliantly troll people—and the press. (I feel like maybe his Uncle Harry would be proud of that one.)

Needless to say, it seems we can now add Archie to the list of George’s names and nicknames which also include, per the Daily Mail: PG (which is what he’s called at school—and is likely short for Prince George, of course), “PG Tips” (a spin on the school nickname by his parents, which is is also a common brand of tea in the UK), and the shortened version, “Tips”.

No word on which one the Queen prefers, but we love that the little royal has already dubbed himself with an adorable nickname.
