Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton Have an Adorable Twin Moment in Matching Blue Looks
The ten-year-old princess was in a slightly paler shade dress with a white bow at her waist and a pair of white flats. She had her hair half up and half down, and appeared to be delighted to take the carriage from Buckingham Palace beside her mother.
Charlotte's older brother, Prince George, and younger brother, Prince Louis, were also at the parade, wearing navy blue suits with red ties that matched Prince William's bright red military uniform.
Kate's dress was seemingly also a reference to the late Princess Diana, who wore a similar look by Catherine Walker in 1992 on a visit to India, as well as a pair of pearl drop earrings.
This was the Princess of Wales's first Trooping the Colour since announcing her cancer had gone into remission in January. She shared photos of a visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital, where she received her treatment throughout 2024.
'It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery,' she wrote on Instagram at the time. 'As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead.'
Kate did attend the Trooping the Colour parade in 2024, despite being in treatment.

‘Sex and the City:' A TV love story I didn't see coming
As far as television show relationships go, 'Sex and the City' was the one I didn't see coming. It didn't sweep me off my feet like the 'Grey's Anatomy' pilot did. It didn't give me five years of bliss before slowly losing its spark like 'Supernatural.' It was, in many ways, the friend I slowly fell for. The show debuted in 1998, when I was too young to be watching it and my older sister was way too cool to care. I was a kid, so obviously didn't see myself in any of the women at the time, but I appreciated being privy to the adult conversations. Did they all talk and think like this? Weird! Growing up along the border in Texas, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha were not women I knew in real life and not women I ever imagined myself being. But even as a preteen, I knew they were fabulous, funny and a good time. I didn't need them to be more than that — until I did. Back in 2023, I decided to take on my third rewatch of the original series ahead of the second season of spinoff series 'And Just Like That,' which this week will air its finale and possibly mark the conclusion of the universe (but nothing ever really ends these days, does it?). I hadn't seen the show from the beginning since my early 20s, when I was sexless in the city, having moved to New York with goals, ambitions and living up to the nickname bestowed upon me by my sisters after years of prudishness – Sister Mary Clarence. This time, I was one month postpartum and having a hard time. Because the elusive perfect latch was not part of my motherhood story, I was exclusively pumping and needed to pump every 2-3 hours around the clock for a baby that needed to eat every 3-4 hours. Do the math. I was exhausted and very much in need of a laugh not caused by sleep-deprived mania. So at night, I'd dull the sound of my whooshing breast pump with a blanket as I sat across from my sleeping son and pop my earbuds in to watch 'the girls,' as they became known in my head. By the time I got to Season 4, I was crying with Miranda as she struggled to adapt to motherhood, understanding deeply when she confided in Carrie that her fear was losing the connections that she valued the most — those with her friends. Two seasons later, when Charlotte had her miscarriage, I was thrown again. Just the year before, that sad lump on the couch had been me, and I did not recover in a day or with the help of an E! 'True Hollywood Story' about Elizabeth Taylor. I cried for Charlotte because I knew her heartache, and I was grateful to know I got through it, with a whooshing breast pump to prove it. Watching the show in my 20s had landed differently than my initial watch because by then, I knew what it meant to be lonely, to be broke because you love shoes, to feel broken, to be a good friend and be a bad one. Watching the original show and spin-off in my 30s has been a mixed bag. I have more empathy for their younger selves, more judgement for the older ones who I feel should know better by now and endless amusement that I talk about fictional characters like they're real people I've known for decades. You may not have loved every minute of on-screen or off-screen drama in the 'Sex and the City' universe, but — like real life, where the totality of our stories never hinge on one relationship, one breakup, one decision, one mistake, one triumph — a world rich enough to resonate across decades of your existence is something to be celebrated. At its best, the show has been perspective wrapped in a Tiffany blue box, if you will. Because it has been the reminder that if you survive hard things — like blessings disguised as broken hearts or broken hearts disguised as the end of the world — long enough to have hindsight, that's a gift that never goes out of style. It's time to admit that 'Sex and the City' was never a fling. It was love.

Commanders' Sam Hartman receives flirty message from fan's mom
Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Hartman has been turning heads since he stepped onto the field at Wake Forest and then at Notre Dame – and it's not so much for his football. The 26-year-old Charlotte, North Carolina, native has become a bit of a heartthrob in recent years as his long hair and bearded jaw had women looking twice at the fourth-string quarterback. On Tuesday, a video posted to social media showed a woman at the Commanders training camp asking Hartman to send her mother a message because she thought he was "super hot." "Sam, would you mind saying hi to my mom Susan? She thinks you're super hot," the woman asked the quarterback. Hartman responded, "Susan, I don't discriminate from age but I appreciate your support." The quarterback smiled as he wrapped up his autographs and continued to move down the row of fans who were eagerly waiting to get their own memorabilia signed, speak with Hartman or just ogle him. Hartman was a standout quarterback in college. He had 12,967 passing yards and 110 touchdown passes with the Demon Deacons. He transferred to Notre Dame for the 2023 season and recorded 2,689 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes. He went undrafted in 2024, but he eventually signed with the Commanders. He would be ping-ponged back and forth on the Commanders roster throughout the 2024 season. He was relegated to the practice squad from October 2024 until the season ended. As he fights for a roster spot in training camp, the Commanders have him fourth on the unofficial depth chart behind Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota and Josh Johnson.

See renderings: The Improper Pig to open in Plaza Midwood
The Improper Pig, a Charlotte-born barbecue joint known for mixing smoked meats with Asian flavors, is opening in Plaza Midwood this fall. Why it matters: It's replacing The Pizza Peel & Taproom, which closed last summer after a decade on the prominent corner of Central and Thomas avenues. Dig in: Expect anything but traditional BBQ, according to co-owner Will Bigham. The Improper Pig is known for its Asian-barbecue fusion and was featured on The Food Network's"Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" for its creative toppings. The new spot will feature new menu items, including vegetarian options like smoked tofu and the No Pig Sandwich. Plus, globally inspired sides, like Asian slaw and edamame. It'll also have an updated beverage menu with beer, wine and cocktails. Between the lines: Charlotte-based hospitality group Stomp, Chomp & Roll, founded by Bigham, owns Pizza Peel and The Improper Pig. They also own several franchised locations of The Flying Biscuit Café. Improper Pig's new Plaza Midwood location will serve as a flagship restaurant for the brand, kickstarting a redesign across its other restaurants. Flashback: The Improper Pig first opened in 2014 in Cotswold. Four years later, they expanded to Fort Mill. In 2019, they relocated the Cotswold restaurant to Rea Farms in South Charlotte. What's next: The Improper Pig will open at 1600 Central Ave. this fall.
