The Internet Can't Handle These Striking New Photos of Prince William
When it comes to the royal fam, we can always count on a top tier recap. Whether it's commemorating VE Day, hosting tea parties or showing up in style to just about anything, we're basically guaranteed to get a photo dump (with major glam). And right on cue, Prince William's latest appearance totally delivered.
The Prince of Wales stepped out on June 4 to visit the Army Air Corps and, yes, Kensington Palace came through with the photos. Like, really came through. The lead image on Instagram shows William looking laser-focused on a computer screen—and he is looking good. His skin is practically glowing, the fan-favorite scruffy beard is on full display. It's serving quiet confidence in the best way.
Also worth noting: the man is in full military uniform. We're talking camo top to bottom, complete with a blue beret that seriously makes his eyes pop. Then there's the shot of him laughing with some kids, just being his full-on dad self. Wholesome and charming? Check and check. And can we talk about that profile pic? The lighting is working overtime—he's giving 'future king with a halo' energy.
Arthur Edwards -And royal fans agree. They were quick to flood the comments with praise.
'Always a good day when William is in uniform!' Another added, 'That beard is fulfilling its responsibility.' Someone else chimed in with, 'The social media manager knows EXACTLY what they're doing.' While a fourth added, 'Wait, Prince William is hot again? I say this with the utmost respect.'
Arthur Edwards -Beyond the aesthetics, this outing actually marked a pretty significant milestone for William. It was his first official visit as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps—a role passed down to him by King Charles in May 2024.
"Proud to visit the Army Air Corps as its Colonel-in-Chief. Great to spend time with the soldiers and their families here at Wattisham Air Base," read the caption of the Instagram post recapping the event.
Arthur Edwards -"Thank you for the warm welcome and heartening to see the strength of the regiment's community," the caption continued. "Very impressed by the relentless commitment, physical capability and mental acuity on display at the combat PT session. An excellent reflection of the Army Air Corps' readiness and professionalism!"
"A huge thank you to the soldiers and families of the AAC for the warm welcome — and for everything you do," the post concluded.
And a huge thank you to that royal photographer, too.

Mariah Carey is back to heat up summer with a new bop — 20 years after ‘We Belong Together'
For years, Mariah Carey has reigned as the Queen of Christmas. With that unsnatchable crown, the 56-year-old diva has seemed perfectly content to chill until defrosting herself right after Halloween to rule the holiday season with 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' But now MC is heating up a different season — summer — with her first proper new single since her last studio album, 2018's 'Caution.' And 'Type Dangerous' — released to the delight of Lambs all over on Friday — threatens to be one of the bops of summer. Advertisement 4 Mariah Carey is back with 'Type Dangerous,' her first proper single since her 2018 album 'Caution.' Ethan James Green Yes, 20 years after Carey owned the summer of 2000 with 'We Belong Together,' she's back. It's not so hard to believe — you can never keep a good diva down. Advertisement 'Type Dangerous' marks another comeback for Carey after 'We Belong Together' — from her blockbuster album 'The Emancipation of Mimi' — put Carey back on top after a period of relative decline. Arriving just one week after the 20th anniversary edition of 'The Emancipation of Mimi,' 'Type Dangerous' sounds as if it could've been on that legendary 2005 LP. Sampling the Eric B. & Rakim classic 'Eric B. Is President,' it pays homage to Carey's history as one of the first pop artists to really embrace hip-hop and collaborate with rappers, going all the way back to Ol' Dirty Bastard on the 'Fantasy' remix. 4 Mariah Carey's new single, 'Type Dangerous,' previews her upcoming album that is being teased as 'MC16.' Dennis Leupold Advertisement And with that bumping bass line, it sounds like New York in the summertime. The lyrics might get a little silly for a certified icon in her fabulous 50s — should she really be dealing with a 'computer boy toy' who's 'on the web hacking other girls' files'? — but Carey can still pull off silly as well as sassy. (And hey, she doesn't celebrate birthdays but anniversaries, so really she's ageless.) 4 Mariah Carey recently filmed a video for her new single 'Type Dangerous.' Instagram/ Mariah Carey Advertisement 4 Mariah Carey received the Icon Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March. Getty Images for iHeartRadio Hearing her coo that 'I like 'em dangerous' while 'I don't have time for the rigmarole' doesn't have to make any kind of sense, but it sure is fun when the beat is this sweet. Perhaps that jolt of joy comes from the fact that 'Type Dangerous' was co-written by Carey's rumored new beau — and Bruno Mars' partner in Silk Sonic. It sounds like mama is having a good time — and so do we. While it remains to be seen if Carey can still hold her own on the charts with the Sabrina Carpenters of the world — the 'Espresso' singer also just dropped a new summer bop, 'Manchild' — it's great to hear her sounding fierce and refreshed. And apparently there is more new music on the way from her upcoming album being teased as 'MC16.' Consider us obsessed — again.

The show was originally going to be at Dodger Stadium but was switched to the Intuit Dome due to low ticket sales.
