The First Official Pictures of Prince Louis Are Here


Prince Louis made his first appearance just few hours after he was born on April 23, swaddled in Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton‘s arms on the steps of St. Mary’s Hospital in London. Since then, the royal family has no doubt been taking time to get to know their little one, and (aside for an image of Louis’ birth certificate, that is), things have been pretty quiet on the picture front. But on Saturday, Kensington Palace released the first official images of the littlest prince, and the photos are certainly swoon-worthy.

In one of the newly released photos, Princess Charlotte is seen holding her baby brother on May 2, her third birthday. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, taken by The Duchess at Kensington Palace,” the caption read.

In another, Prince Louis steals the scene just three days after he was born. “The Duke and Duchess would like to thank members of the public for their kind messages following the birth of Prince Louis, and for Princess Charlotte’s third birthday,” Kensington added to the caption.

The photographer of the images is none other than Kate Middleton herself, who frequently gets behind the camera to take pictures of her children (her first-day-of-school pics of Princess Charlotte were spectacular).

When Princess Charlotte was born, the royal family’s official social media account released photos of older brother Prince George holding her, too. (In a break from tradition, Kate was behind the camera for those, too.)

And it was just a few weeks after Prince George was born that the royals released their first family portrait, with Will, Kate, and the little prince in Kate’s arms.

We can’t wait for more images of the newly expanded royal family getting to know each other. Congrats again to the happy family!

Here's Why Women Watching the Golden Globes at Home Will Be Posting Pictures of Themselves Wearing Black


On the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night, you’ll likely see a sea of women—and male allies—wearing black. This, in part, is thanks to Time’s Up, an initiative launched on January 1 by 300 women in Hollywood with the goal of ending “systemic inequality and injustice in the workplace,” whether that’s in Hollywood or in occupations like restaurant and agricultural work.

Some of the founding members of Time’s Up—including Amber Tamblyn, Uzo Aduba, Tessa Thompson, Shonda Rhimes, America Ferrera,, and Reese Witherspoon—have stressed the importance of using public events such as tonight’s Golden Globes as a platform to show solidarity by wearing black on the red carpet.

But Time’s Up is hoping to make the movement even broader by advocating for everyone—even those watching at home—to wear black.

“On Sunday we wear black,” the organization posted to Instagram. “To stand in solidarity with women and men everywhere who have been silenced by discrimination, harassment or abuse. Wherever you are, whoever you are, whatever you’re doing. Join us. #TimesUp”

“What people are doing collectively to change the narrative and to change the way women are treated and the power dynamic is important,” Amber Tamblyn told Glamour on Saturday. “None of it should be dismissed and all of it is powerful.”

Tessa Thompson added to Tamblyn’s point. “It makes sense to actually engage, to lean in, to use this moment both on the red carpet and on the stage to amplify this idea of real change,” she said. “That, to me, is why this moment at the Globes is indeed really powerful and has the capability to reach all kinds of people. It’s a time to take the microphone that you’ve been given and to use it in a new and exciting way.”

As part of that amplification, celebrities are spreading the word on social media to encourage people at home to join in on tonight’s movement by wearing black—whether you choose to wear a black dress (hey, watch parties are fun) or black leggings.

Kit Harington Kindly Requests That You Stop Asking Him and Rose Leslie for Pictures, Please


In recent years a handful of celebrities have taken strong stances against posing for selfies with fans on the street—and for good reason. Two of the most recent additions to this antiselfie squad are Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who almost certainly get stopped all the time when they’re out and about, considering they’ve both appeared in one of the biggest shows on TV and also recently announced their engagement.

In an interview published in The Guardian over the weekend, Harington opened up about how “bizarre and weird” it is to be hounded at all hours by overzealous fans. “Like, being in Spain and there being a crowd of 500, maybe 600 fans camped outside the hotel every day, and you have to get through them. It feels like being Bieber or something,” he said.

Of his being something of a Justin Bieber–level heartthrob, Harington said, “Yeah, I don’t particularly enjoy that,” before adding, “I don’t know. Do I? I’m glad I’ve experienced it, but that’s what I mean about it being eight years, then it’s done. You couldn’t go on for much longer. It’s a bit incessant.” This incessant fame, he said, “makes me snappy and it makes me uncomfortable, and I turn into a grumpy person.”

His biggest issue of all is “the photo thing,” he said, explaining that he sets aside entire days during which he’ll refuse to take photos with fans. Harington told the newspaper that although the spiel he gives fans on these no-selfie days can leave them frustrated and annoyed, “you just have to, otherwise you start feeling like a mannequin.” He continued, “Especially me and Rose, we never do a photo together. Because then it makes our relationship feel like…puppets. Like we’re a walking show.”

He went on to explain why he’s so protective of his relationship with Leslie. “I just don’t—and I won’t say much about it now—but I don’t believe in talking about one’s relationship in the press because it’s…I strongly believe it’s her relationship and mine, and anything I say here, she may not want me to say,” he said. “So I just don’t say it. I genuinely think it’s our private life.”

The couple, who met and fell in love while starring as an unlikely couple onscreen in GoT, is indeed notoriously private: Instead of revealing their engagement news in September through a tabloid or on social media, they published a small, classic announcement in The Times of London.

But they’re not the only celebrities who refuse to take photos with fans. Their Game of Thrones costar Maisie Williams told Nylon last year that “if I don’t want a picture one day, I don’t have a problem saying no. I know some people get really weird about that, like, ‘You’re so mean.’ But if I was really in love with someone, I wouldn’t just want a picture. I would want to hang out with them,” she said. And in the September 2017 issue of Vogue,], Jennifer Lawrence shared that although she’s “happy to meet people, give autographs, shake hands, and say ‘Thank you,'” she doesn’t feel bad declining selfie requests. “It’s just, if I’m on an airplane and I have no makeup on, I don’t want to take a selfie that’s going to end up on E!”
