Kate Middleton and Prince William Just Shared a Rare Photo of Their Home on Easter Sunday


Kate Middleton and Prince William just gave fans a rare glimpse at their home in celebration of Easter. The royal couple usually joins Queen Elizabeth II at St. George’s Chapel for a church service, however, this year will be different as they’re all observing the holiday separately amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic—just like many families around the world.

On Sunday, April 13 the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge marked the occasion by sharing a stunning exterior shot of their London residence, Kensington Palace, surrounded by yellow daffodils. “Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter,” they captioned the post, which was accompanied by a bunny rabbit, a chick emoji and the hashtag #StayHomeSaveLives.

Middleton and Prince William recently gave us a never-before-seen peek at their home office as they continue their royal duties from home. Now, they’re just spoiling us.

Of course, this Instagram is not the only way post honoring the holiday on their page. On April 8, the royal couple surprised a group of teachers and students in the U.K. with an Easter video call—and there were many bunny ears involved.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge aren’t the only members of the royal family to share messages on Easter—and it looks like flowers were the central theme for Prince Charles and Princess Eugenie’s posts as well.

The Queen also shared a message of encouragement in what is reportedly Her Majesty’s first-ever Easter address, according to The Daily Mail. The Queen, who turns 94 later this month, is social distancing at Windsor Castle with Prince Philip. In her speech, she urged the public to continue practicing social distancing.

“This year, Easter will be different for many of us, but by keeping apart we keep others safe,” she said. “But Easter isn’t canceled; indeed, we need Easter as much as ever.

“We know that coronavirus will not overcome us. As dark as death can be—particularly for those suffering with grief—light and life are greater,” the monarch added. “May the living flame of the Easter hope be a steady guide as we face the future.”

Drake Just Shared the First Photo of His Son, Adonis


Drake has remained pretty quiet about his son, Adonis. But the rapper just shared his first photos of the little boy on Instagram—and he is so cute. In one, Adonis is sitting on his dad’s lap and in another Drake poses with Adonis and his mother, Sophie Brussaux. He also shared a photo of his own parents in the set.

It seems like the coronavirus pandemic has Drake all up in his feelings about family, because he also shared some heartfelt words of support for fans. “What is most important for you right now is to connect to your own inner light. This will create the biggest opening of all. Trust that you have all of the power within to make this happen, and in order to do that connect to the people and things that bring you a lot of joy,” he wrote.

“Remember that you are never alone, and if you need to be reminded of that ask for support and it will show up. Everything comes down to intention, and even though there are conflicting energies circling around us you must KNOW…It will rebuild,” he continued. “But in order for that to happen, you have to do exactly that. Trust. You have the biggest heart and that is your greatest gift. It’s impossible to always control your surroundings, but when you shift the focus to how you want to feel, everything will conspire to assist you. I love and miss my beautiful family and friends and I can’t wait for the joyful day when we are all able to reunite. Until then please keep your lights on. ?”

Whatever prompted Drake to share these photos of Adonis, we are grateful for it. That head of curls is enough to make anyone smile. And who doesn’t need to smile right now?

That Magical Photo of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in the Rain Has the Most Interesting Backstory


Remember back a few weeks ago when the world looked a lot more normal and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were out and about in London on what many called their farewell tour as senior working royals? Those were the days, huh?

Markle really pulled out all the stops, fashion-wise, in an array of bold colors. But there was one instantly-iconic image in particular that stood out from the thousands taken of the Sussexes as they attended the Endeavor Awards. You know the one: The duke and duchess are gazing happily at each other under an umbrella as camera flashes lit up the rain drops in the background.

Now, the photographer who took the shot is letting the world in on exactly how he got it. “It was pouring down with rain, which can be very tricky when shooting flash photography,” Samir Hussein, a longtime Getty photographer who often covers the royal family, told Vogue. “[It] also meant Harry and Meghan would be under an umbrella, which usually means it’s hard to get clean photos of the couple. Little did I know these elements would come together so spectacularly to produce a timeless image.”

Before they arrived, Hussein talked to the royals press officer so he could try to position himself in the right spot in the photographers’ pen. “As they walked toward me, I noticed a flash going off from a camera in the crowd behind them,” he said. “I knew that if that light could be lined up to be right behind as they walked, then it could create a dramatic photo, acting like a backlight in a studio shot. I managed to maneuver myself to line up the flash behind them and then had to work quickly, with just a second or two to get the shot as they smiled wonderfully at each other.”

“It’s a one in a million, when all the elements you could wish for as a photographer come together—perfect timing, great lighting, strong symbolism, and amazing subjects,” he said.

We just hope Meghan Markle and (Prince) Harry have this framed somewhere in their house in Canada.

This Photo of Princess Charlotte Has a Special Meaning for Kate Middleton


Kate Middleton just gave her first-ever podcast interview this week and gave the world insight into her life as a mom to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The duchess sate down to chat with Giovanna Fletcher on Happy Mum, Happy Baby as part of her ongoing work to foster discussions around parenting in the early years of childhood development. She talked about her own “happy childhood” and how she tries to bring the lessons she learned growing up to her own family with Prince William.

“I think the things that really resonate with me most are the simple things and actually I see that now with my own children. Life now is so busy, so distracting and actually sometimes the simple things like watching a fire on a really rainy day provides such enjoyment,” she said. “I remember that from my childhood—doing the simple things, going for a walk together, and that’s really what I try and do with my children as well because it totally strips away all the complications, all the pressures.”

There’s one photo of Princess Charlotte, in particular, that she feels captures those simple, special times. “I’ve got this one photo of Charlotte smelling a bluebell, and really for me it’s moments like that that mean so much to me as a parent, and I try every day to put moments like that in, even if they’re small or even if I don’t have time… but that in an ideal world is what I would like to do,” Middleton said.

Kensington Palace then shared the sweet image taken by Middleton on Instagram. Charlotte appears to be wearing one of the same outfits from the photos the Cambridges released for her fourth birthday in May, so perhaps it’s from the same shoot.

We love getting these glimpses into the royal family’s life behind the scenes. Please do more podcasts, Kate!

Kate Middleton Did a Photo Shoot for a 10-Year-Old, and It's Just Adorable


Kate Middleton has had a busy—and photography-filled—week. The palace recently released two beautiful portraits of Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren, taken by the Duchess of Cambridge for a special exhibit commemorating 75 years since the end of the Holocaust.

And today (January 28), she posed for a very special shoot herself. Of course, Middleton is one of the most photographed women in the world. But this shoot was special. The royal popped by the National Portrait Gallery’s Hospital Programme at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, which showcased how the arts help children’s health, overall well-being, and happiness—a cause quite close to her heart. (Middleton is a patron of both organizations.)

While there, Luke Wheeler-Waddison, a 10-year-old heart patient, got the very special honor of photographing the duchess with one of the “rag wreaths” she was given as a gift. (People reports that the wreath will be headed to Princess Charlotte’s bedroom.)

He showed off his Polaroid for the official photographers at the event—and it looks like he did a great job. Talk about a cool souvenir, right? A photographer in the making, if you ask me.

“The Duchess joined children and their families who were taking part in a ‘Playful Portraits’ workshop, and helped them to make sets and characters for their own pop-up theatres! ?? The Duchess also visited Evelina’s Beach Ward to meet children who were taking part in the workshop at their bedsides,” Kensington Royal posted about the event on Instagram.

Kate Middleton is known to have a passion for photography. Along with the new portraits released this week, often the pictures Kensington Palace releases of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are taken by their mom.

Middleton revealed recently, though, that she and Prince William probably won’t have more kids any time soon. “I don’t think William wants any more,” she told a fan earlier this month, according to Hello!.

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Look Like Twins in This New Photo, and Fans Are Living for It


It’s hard to believe Blue Ivy Carter, the eldest daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, is about to turn 8 years old on January 7. It seems like just yesterday we were all anxiously awaiting her birth—and name.

Now she’s out here singing on her parents’ tracks and looking like her mom’s total twin. To celebrate the new year, Beyoncé posted a retrospective video of 2019 to her Instagram. In it you get to see big public moments, like The Lion King‘s London premiere where Bey and Jay met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or their courtside seats for the NBA playoffs. But the fiercely private singer also gave a glimpse into her private life with images from a second birthday party for twins, Rumi and Sir. And there’s lots of Blue looking so much like her mom.

But it’s a photo of Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, and Megan Thee Stallion from New Year’s Eve that has everyone talking.

Fans couldn’t help but call out the resemblance. “Beyoncé literally gave birth to herself with blue ivy. this is so beautiful. im crying,” one tweeted. “Beyoncé made blue by herself,” another wrote.

Twitter

This isn’t the first time the mother-daughter duo has done the twinning thing. They wore coordinating Alexander McQueen sparkling blazers and skirts to The Lion King premiere in Los Angeles in July. (Bey starred as the voice of Nala in the remake.) Blue has a credit for her vocals on “Brown-Skinned Girl,” a song from Beyoncé album, The Lion King: The Gift, released with the movie.

The singer also took her daughter to the Wearable Art Gala in 2019 and while they didn’t match their outfits, the facial resemblance was so strong.

If, for some reason, you’re still not convinced that these two look so much alike, check out this throwback photo Tina Lawson, Beyoncé’s mom and Blue’s grandmother, posted on Instagram back in 2017.

You love to see it.
