David Beckham, Gary Oldman, Elaine Paige and others honored by King Charles III
Arise Sir David, Sir Gary and Sir Roger. And Dame Elaine, Dame Pat and Dame Penny. Former England soccer captain David Beckham, Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman and The Who's frontman Roger Daltrey were knighted in King Charles III's birthday honors list released late Friday. Elaine Paige, the renowned musicals singer, Booker Prize-winning novelist Pat Barker and former Conservative government minister Penny Mordaunt were given damehoods, the female equivalent of a knighthood. The honors, which aim to reward individuals for their contributions to British life, are awarded twice a year to celebrities and public figures as well as ordinary people: Once at New Year's, and then in June to mark the king's birthday. The winners are chosen by civil servants' committees based on nominations from the government and the public. The awards are usually given out by the king or a senior royal acting in his place at Buckingham Palace. The Sirs Beckham, 50, was widely expected to be knighted following speculation last week that appeared to be based on a conversation he had with the monarch at the Chelsea Flower Show last month. As well as representing England 115 times, including 59 times as captain, Beckham played for some of Europe's most venerable clubs, most notably Manchester United and Real Madrid. He has been knighted for his services to sport and to charity, having partnered with UNICEF, the U.N.'s children's fund, for two decades and campaigned with a charity working to eradicate malaria. Beckham also played a pivotal role in London being awarded the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. 'Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honor,' he said. Oldman, 67, was recognized for his services to drama both on screen and on stage. He won an Oscar for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the 2017 film 'Darkest Hour,' and recently dazzled audiences in the Apple TV spy thriller series ' Slow Horses.' Daltrey, who co-founded The Who in 1964, has been recognized for services to charity as well as music, having been a patron of 'Teenage Cancer Trust' since 2000. The 81-year-old, who led the charity's concert series at Royal Albert Hall for more than two decades, said he was humbled by the award. 'It's a dream come true for me, but it's especially a dream because the charity means so much,' he said. The Dames Paige, 77, was honoured for her services to charity as well as music. She has held senior roles at a charity supporting young people with acquired brain injury and another one that supports disabled tennis players. 'I've got all these different emotions coming at me all at once,' she said. 'I'm proud and I feel grateful and I'm thrilled and surprised, and so it's been quite a lot to take in.' Barker, 82, known for 'The Regeneration Trilogy,' said she thought the letter announcing her damehood was from 'really angry' tax authorities. 'Nobody else does that kind of quality of paper,' she said. 'I still sort of had to read the first paragraph several times before it sank in.' A year on from losing her seat at the general election when her Conservative Party lost office, Mordaunt said it was 'lovely to be appreciated in this way.' Mordaunt, 52, saw her profile boosted during the king's coronation ceremony in 2023. The former lawmaker made a memorable appearance bearing the 'sword of state,' the first time the duty had been carried out by a woman. The 'Companion' Antony Gormley, the sculptor who was knighted in 2014, was made a 'Companion of Honour' for his services to art. The award is one of the most prestigious that the monarch can bestow to citizens in Britain and across the Commonwealth, as there are only 65 companions at any one time. Introduced in 1917 by King George V, the award recognizes people who have made 'a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine, or government lasting over a long period of time.' Current members include British environmentalist David Attenborough, Canadian author Margaret Atwood and one of Britain's greatest-ever athletes Sebastian Coe. Hundreds more are awarded The honors don't just reward people in the public eye. More than 1,200 people received honours in the latest list. Women made up 48% of those honored, with 11% of recipients from ethnic minority backgrounds. The oldest recipient was 106-year-old World War II veteran William Irwin, who was awarded a British Empire Medal, for his services to the community. The youngest was 11-year-old disability campaigner Carmela Chillery-Watson, who was made a 'Member of the Most Excellent Order British Empire,' or MBE. Chillery-Watson, who has LMNA congenital muscular dystrophy, has become the youngest ever recipient of the award for helping raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for Muscular Dystrophy UK. In what is thought to be a first, three members of the same family were named in the same list. Jenna Speirs, her mother Caroline and father Duncan were each awarded a British Empire Medal for founding a children's cancer charity called Calum's Cabin after Jenna's twin brother died of an inoperable brain tumour aged 12. Campaigners who have fought to tackle the rise of knife crime were also recognized. Pooja Kanda, whose 16-year-old son was murdered with a ninja sword near his home, was awarded the Order of the British Empire, or OBE. Alison Madgin, the mother of 18-year-old Samantha Madgin, who was knifed to death, was made an MBE alongside her daughter Carly Barrett.

Why The Princess Of Wales' Bold Turquoise Trooping The Colour Outfit Is A Vibrant Return To Form
The Princess of Wales has made an appearance with her family during the Trooping the Colour parade in Central London. Her 13th time attending the annual occasion, Kate Middleton wore a turquoise coat dress with contrast white lapels and cuff detail by one of her long-favoured designers, Catherine Walker. In design, the dress had a distinct 80s feel, which makes for easy comparison to looks chosen by her late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales. While the dress offered strong-shouldered, sleek tailoring, Her Royal Highness then softened it with an asymmetric wide-brim Juliette Botterill hat finished with tonal florals and an elaborate updo fastened at the nape of her neck. By comparison to last year's outfit, a white long-sleeved dress decorated with a bow by Jenny Packham, which marked her first official outing after stepping back from the public eye during her cancer treatment, this ensemble is fashionably bolder. It offers a concerted striking contrast to the military uniforms around her at the parade, which speaks to a confidence and a return to form and the vibrant colour palette she has often chosen for Trooping. The Princess of Wales' jewellery included a pair of diamond and pearl earrings, originally belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth II, which Catherine has worn regularly, while the Irish Guards brooch was pinned at her shoulder. The Princess' sons Prince George and Prince Louis wore navy suits with matching red ties, while Princess Charlotte echoed her mother in a sweet turquoise dress and a white bow fastened in her hair as the sun shone down on the capital. The 10-year-old also wore the horseshoe brooch she wore to Queen Elizabeth's funeral. The Princess' 13th (2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the pandemic) Trooping look says more than just what she's favouring now as it speaks to her evolution as not only a senior member of the royal family but as a woman growing into her personal style, too. The now mother of three first made an appearance at the annual event, which marks the Monarch's official birthday, a few weeks after her April 2011 nuptials. Clearly still revelling in the newlywed moment, she wore an ivory Alexander McQueen dresscoat in a silhouette reminiscent of her wedding gown's skirt. Her hair was blown out as she so often wore it then and finished with a black hat. Since, the Princess has moved away from the girlish sensibility of her earliest Buckingham Palace balcony appearances to find a sense of matured polish that extends from intricate, immaculate updos to supreme coordination that runs from well-brimmed hats up top to sharper silhouetted dresses by a roll call of her favourite brands. Her choices, along with her clearly growing ease of edging closer to the centre of the balcony line-up, tell of a public figure that is more comfortable in her place and in understanding in what she chooses to wear when the spotlight shines brightest on her and her family. For Trooping, an event that has existed for 277 years, the Princess often leans into the more traditional side of her wardrobe. The Victoria Beckham trouser suits she prefers for her working days are swapped out for skirted dresses or suits primed for decoration with sentimental jewellery and her hair is off her face in a fashion that any other mother of three might appreciate. As she adds turquoise Catherine Walker to her Trooping arsenal, revisit the Princess of Wales' Trooping The Colour ensembles over the course of the last 14 years. For the 2025 occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a Catherine Walker outfit, Juliette Botterill hat, Irish Guards brooch and earrings once belonging to Queen Elizabeth. The choice of the turquoise dress coat was echoed in the pastel dress worn by her daughter, Princess Charlotte. The Princess of Wales made a return to public life in a white dress by Jenny Packham. The shift-style dress was decorated with a navy and white bow to match her Philip Treacy hat. She wore her Irish Guards Regimental Brooch and earrings by Cassandra Goad. The Princess of Wales was easily visible on the balcony in an emerald Andrew Gn outfit. She wore a hat by Philip Treacy in the same hue, the Cartier Irish Guards' Shamrock brooch and Diana's double-drop sapphire earrings. She chose brilliant white Alexander McQueen for the 2022 occasion. The then Duchess of Cambridge completed the look with a black and white Philip Treacy hat, earrings that originally belonged to her mother-in-law Diana and a Strathberry clutch. The Duchess of Cambridge opted for sunshine lemon in 2019. The Alexander McQueen dress was worn with a Philip Treacy hat and pearl and diamond earrings on loan from Queen Elizabeth. The Duchess appeared on the balcony wearing an icy blue dress by Alexander McQueen and a matching hat by Juliette Botterill, while her jewellery was comprised of diamonds and topaz by Kiki McDonough. She went all in on pink for 2017. The royal wore a pink dress with pleat detail by Alexander McQueen and a hat by Jane Taylor. She completed the outfit with diamond earrings on loan from Queen Elizabeth. Catherine wore a white coat dress by Alexander McQueen, which had been initially worn for Princess Charlotte's christening. She paired it with a Philip Treacy hat complete with large pink corsage detail, a Mappin and Webb necklace and Balenciaga earrings. Shortly after the birth of Princess Charlotte, Catherine appeared on the balcony wearing a floral Catherine Walker coat dress. She wore the collard style with a white hat by Lock & Co. She wore a light grey skirt suit by Alexander McQueen with a Jane Taylor hat, accessorising with a pearl brooch and matching Kiki McDonough earrings. While expecting Prince George, Catherine chose a baby pink coat dress by Alexander McQueen worn with a ribbon-detail hat by Jane Corbett. The Duchess of Cambridge returned to the balcony in 2012 wearing a floral grey dress by Erdem. She paired it with a Jane Corbett hat and Links of London earrings. The newlywed Catherine wore a bridal white Alexander McQueen coat dress with a black hat for her first Trooping, wearing her hair loose in classic waves. Freelancer

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Opt for Aquamarine for Trooping the Colour 2025
Trooping the Colour is the annual official celebration of the reigning monarch's birthday; it's a joyful occasion, featuring the Royal families in a mode of celebration—and if you're Prince Louis, with a bit of cheekiness and carry on—with outfits to match, to see and be seen. Kate Middleton has long made it the time to debut her most striking, spirited looks. Crowds gathered in their thousands to watch the parades in central London that continued down the Mall toward Buckingham Palace, seeing members of the Royal family arrive in their house-drawn carriages. Catherine, Princess of Wales, husband Princess William, and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis were among them. The Princess wore a bright aquamarine woollen dress coat with ivory lapels and cuffs by Catherine Walker—a designer favored by Kate Middleton as much as Princess Diana—as well as wide-brimmed matching hat with a sculptural motif by Juliette Botterill. Jewelry is always a key and sentimental part of the Royal's looks, and today was no different: She opted for an Irish Guards Regimental Brooch—a nod to her role as colonel—and earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth. Princess Charlotte followed suited in a dress that was a similar shade to her mother's, with a white waist bow and white flats, her long hair tied in a braid.
