News about Prince William

She is known by many today as the Princess of Wales, but depending on time and location, it has not always been that way. Since Kate's official entrance into the royal family in 2011, when she wed Prince William, she inherited an official royal title, but it was not the same one that many know her as today. Here, FEMAIL reveals the titles held by Kate, what they mean, and the appropriate time to use them.

Cheering crowds, colourful bouquets and a plush red carpet: when Prince Charles and Princess Diana touched down in Nigeria on March 15, 1990, legions of fans lined the runway to welcome them. Every step of their five-day tour was recorded in fulsome detail by the world's press, who joined them for lavish state banquets, community walkabouts and meetings with dignitaries. The nature of the welcome their son, Harry, and his wife Meghan will receive in the African nation, however, is yet to be seen.

As Kensington Palace release a new portrait of Princess Charlotte to mark her ninth birthday, the young royal's resemblance to her mother is clear as day. It's often thought that the young royal bears physical similarities to her 'Gan-Gan', the late Queen Elizabeth II or her father, Prince William. However, when putting childhood images of Kate at the same age as her daughter side by side, the similarities are also unmistakable.

Her every fashion move makes waves - and the same even applies to the way the Princess of Wales dresses her daughter, Princess Charlotte , who turns nine today. The attention comes with the territory. Although the Waleses do their very best to give their three children something close to a normal childhood, the family carries a certain weight of expectation. Catherine often dresses Charlotte in coordinating outfits with matching colour palettes for public engagements. But there is another reason, too, why the little princess attracts so much attention - and that's the timeless British styles that dominate her wardrobe - to the envy of parents up and down the country. Here we look back at some of the outfits that have charmed a nation.

The Prince and Princess of Wales delighted royal fans when they released a never-before-seen wedding photo to mark their 13th anniversary this week. But it turns out, the stunning black-and-white photo (left) - which was taken by photographer Millie Pilkington - was hiding in plain sight long before that. In August 2017, the Prince of Wales, 41, appeared in conversation with Lady Gaga as part of Heads Together's #oktosay film series. The mental health organisation Heads Together was launched by the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke of Sussex in 2016. In the video, Prince William is seen FaceTiming the pop star from his London office (bottom right). After sharing footage of Kensington Palace and the Hollywood hills, the royal is shown sitting down at his desk and opening his laptop (top right).

King Charles bravely continued his own cancer treatment today after meeting patients on a chemotherapy ward in hospital as he returned to public-facing duties. The monarch appeared relaxed and in good spirits during a visit to University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in London, where he sat down to chat to those receiving chemotherapy and told them he was 'well', 'alright' and 'not too bad'. Charles was joined by Queen Camilla during the trip and they went on a number of impromptu walkabouts, meeting staff who stopped to catch a glimpse of the couple. The King looked overjoyed to be back today for the first time since his cancer diagnosis, smiling and holding the hands of patients on the chemotherapy ward. The development indicated the positive progress Charles is making after almost three months of cancer care as an outpatient. When quizzed about his health, the head of state told one patient: 'I'm alright thank you very much, not too bad.' The King sympathised with another patient as she was treated in a day unit, telling Lesley Woodbridge, 63: 'I've got to have my treatment this afternoon as well.' Asha Millen, 60, who is receiving chemotherapy for bone marrow cancer, also chatted to the King as he met patients in the chemotherapy day unit. She asked Charles about his own health, saying: 'I said 'how are you?' and he said 'I'm well'.'

Kate Middleton, who is undergoing chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer, married future king Prince William at Westminster Abbey in 2011 after eight years of dating.

An unseen wedding portrait of the Prince and Princess of Wales was released today to mark the couple's 13th anniversary. Kate, who is undergoing chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer, married future king Prince William at Westminster Abbey in 2011 after eight years of dating. The pair are facing their most difficult challenge so far amid the Princess's diagnosis, with Kate appealing for time, space and privacy as she continues her treatment. Today, the Kensington Palace account on X released a new photo of the couple from the wedding by photographer Millie Pilkington, saying: '13 years ago today!'

The pair became friends at St Andrew's University (left) - with the early days of their romance recently dramatised in the final season of The Crown - and that connection blossomed into romance. Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in October 2010 and the couple now share three children George, Charlotte and Louis (inset).

Former detectives have called on police WhatsApp groups where 'messages beyond the pale' are allowed to be written in plain sight, to be monitored and pleading with officers to be particularly careful about what they say on social media. It comes after the grieving mother of Nottingham stab victim Barnaby Webber made a heartfelt plea this week urging officers to show more compassion after her son's body was described as being 'properly butchered' in an appalling WhatsApp chat. However it is not the first time that bereaved families - who have lost loved ones in the worst circumstances imaginable - have been subjected to 'more trauma' at the hands of officers working on the cases.

It was one of the feel-good moments of the decade - the union of Prince William, handsome heir to the throne, and elegant commoner Catherine Middleton on April 29, 2011. Even the British weather agreed, with the clouds parting has the new husband and wife emerged from Westminster Abbey to greet the public - and found themselves bathed in golden spring sunshine. Many of us still have fond memories of those moments. And today, on the anniversary of the Waleses' wedding, we hope to jog a few of those with this A-Z of a glorious occasion.

Today's announcement about the health of the King feels like a huge relief, a chink of clear blue sky in an otherwise rather gloomy horizon. After months of games through no fault or desire of his own, King Charles is slowly returning to his duties - just in time to celebrate the first anniversary of his Coronation, on May 6th. I must confess that when the Palace first announced that the King was suffering from cancer , I - like many - had a sense of deep foreboding. And when the news subsequently broke that the Princess of Wales was also battling the disease, it really felt as though the Royal Family was being pushed to breaking point.

Freddie Hadley set the royal visit to St Michael's Church of England High School, Rowley Regis, in motion after writing to William last year to tell the future king about the mental health initiatives run by his school. He told MailOnline pupils had been told to prepare for a special guest - the Lord Lieutenant of the West Midlands - and was taken outside to form part of a welcoming party for the visitor. But Freddie, 12, said the monarch's personal representative in the region was already there, stood alongside the mayor of Sandwell.

Last year, in a heartwarming exchange with a little girl in Berkshire last year, Prince William's wife, 42, revealed that Charlotte is a fan of 1987 hymn Shine Jesus Shine. In October, Kate visited the community centre Vsi Razom Community Hub in Bracknell to help send aid to the people of Ukraine when she struck conversation with the child, named Liza.

His cheeky public antics over the years have led his legion of fans to christen him 'Boss Baby' after the Hollywood cartoon movie about a toddler who rules the roost. But my, how quickly little Prince Louis is growing up. While he still has the same warm eyes, infectious smile and general zest for life that has seen him repeatedly steal the show at royal events, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales is big enough to wear Prince George's grown-up hand-me-downs. In this case it is a £39 Pepa & Co checked shirt in a delightful new birthday portrait taken by Kate.

It is now more than three decades since Prince Edward dramatically quit the Royal Marine training programme. Back in 1987, it had been hoped the Queen's youngest son might be something of a royal advertisement for our armed forces. When it emerged that Edward's father, Prince Philip , was Captain General of the Marins, the embarrassment intensified. Edward's reputation fared little better with his next move that same year. Yet what a turnaround we see today.

Prince and Princess Michael of Kent enjoyed a night out at a private members' club yesterday - as they were spotted in public for the first time since the funeral of their son-in-law. The royals , who are the parents of Thomas Kingston's widow Lady Gabriella Windsor, appeared in chipper moods as they left Oswald's in central London late on Friday. The prince and princess were seen smiling as they hopped in their car to head back home from the exclusive club, which they left with a friend, just weeks after Mr Kingston's funeral.

THE 'bromance' between Prince Harry and Nacho Figueras - the wealthy, handsome and influential 'David Beckham of polo' - grows, it would seem, ever deep. Over one week alone, there have been three very public displays of affection. In one, Harry's wife, Meghan, sent a jar of strawberry jam - the first product from her much-anticipated lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard - to Nacho's socialite wife, Delfin Blaquier.

Prince William smiled and chuckled as he joined volunteers on board the charity Surplus to Supper's distribution van today (pictured right), preparing to deliver meals to local projects alongside the team. William also joined the teams inside the kitchen, putting on an apron and diligently chopping celery (pictured left) for a huge chilli-con-carne intended to feed hundreds.

The Duke of Sussex has updated his business records in London to make it clear that he no longer lives in Britain and California is his official home - despite moving there in 2020. Mark Borkowski, arguably Britain's leading PR guru, has said it is the culmination of years of gradual change by Harry and Meghan from working royals to influencers establishing their Sussex name as a 'commercial vehicle' to make millions. He said: 'The line has been drawn and hope of a rapprochement with the royals is now gone. Harry has closed the door and burned the bridge. It's now all eyes on commerce. They're getting further and further away from Harry's family and they're trying to be lifestyle models. They [Harry and Meghan] need a lot of money to maintain their lifestyle and their royal status is gradually diminishing'. Mr Borkowski has said that King Charles and the Princess of Wales ' cancer battles has meant that the launch of Meghan's American Riviera Orchard brand came with less of a PR blitz than expected. 'Meghan's jam emerged this week. All these products are going to come out but to some extent they have been quite low profile, whilst Kate and the king have been grappling with their cancer', Mr Borkowski said.

The couple moved out the last of their belongings from the Windsor property - which until then had remained their UK base after they moved to California in 2020 - on June 29 last year. This is the date that the Duke of Sussex said he began living in America on new business documents disclosed by the Mail yesterday. Filings published by Companies House for 'Prince Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex' record that his 'New Country/State Usually Resident' is now the USA, while it previously stated the United Kingdom. Royal experts have said Harry was 'deeply wounded' by his father's order for him and Meghan to leave Frogmore, with suggestions that he was making a point by choosing the date.

Controversial Irish star James McClean has saluted Wrexham fans singing an anti-King Charles III chant, weeks after Prince William visited the club. At the start of March, Prince William visited the pitch at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground to hear accounts of the club's rise since the 2021 takeover by Rob and Ryan Reynolds, and meet staff and players. Following their 6-0 thrashing of Forest Green Rovers at the weekend, the Welsh club's promotion to League One was confirmed, and fans celebrated with songs about all their players, including McClean. 

Deborah James' (pictured) mother Heather (pictured)has revealed how she felt the presence of her daughter on her son Benjamin's recent wedding day (pictured). She made the comments while appearing on Lorraine this morning to discuss how it will be continuing its 'No Butts' campaign. The campaign, which aims to raise awareness of bowel cancer , was launched in April 2021, with Dame Deborah appearing on the programme to launch it. Mother-of-two Deborah died at the age of 40 in June 2022 following a five-year battle with the illness. Speaking today, Heather James, 66, from Surrey, responded to Lorraine describing her daughter's legacy as 'astonishing'.

Prince Harry may have been feuding with Prince William over the last few years - but there is one close friend who appears to have filled the hole his brother left in his life.  Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras (left), 47, from Argentina, was one of the first people to meet the Duke and Duchess (right inset) of Sussex's son Archie in 2019 and has become a vocal supporter of the royal couple in recent years. The father-of-four (right) plays polo with Prince Harry every year during his annual Sentebale match and has previously said he would 'defend his friends' with his life during an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show in September 2019. On Friday, Nacho and Harry looked as chummy as ever at the Duke's annual charity polo match, which took place at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club this year. Prince Harry and Nacho also appeared deep in conversation in Palm Beach yesterday while filming scenes for the Duke's upcoming polo Netflix series. Centre: Nacho and the Duke in Tokyo in August 2023.
