Prince William and Kate took a boat trip between Scottish islands today as they enjoy a two-day visit to the Inner Hebrides. The royal couple met with staff at the Fionnphort ferry terminal in Mull before boarding a ferry to Iona to meet with the community there.
For the second day in a row, Kate wore neutral, casual clothes, sporting a similar but different tweed jacket to the one she wore yesterday, with what appeared to be the same skinny jeans and boots. She wore her sunglasses on the ferry in the bright spring sunshine.
'Residents on the islands are highly dependent on the ferry routes, which are the only way to reach both islands and transport vital provisions back and forth,' Kensington Palace said in a statement. At the port, the couple was also photographed alongside actress and comedian Ruby Wax, who was apparently on holiday on the islands.
Earlier in the day, William and Kate met rangers from the Mull and Iona Ranger Service at the Ardura Community Forest alongside families exploring the woodland. 'A powerful reminder of the importance of protecting the environment and the role outdoor learning plays in building connection and care for nature,' Kensington Palace posted on social media about the outing. It was announced before William and Kate arrived in Scotland that their royal Foundation is providing funding for two new rangers on the islands.
Yesterday, on their 14th wedding anniversary, the couple spent the day on the Isle of Mull and stayed overnight in a self-catering holiday cottage. According to the Press Association, they spoke to locals about a private visit they had made to Mull when they were students at St Andrews University.
Per The Times, Kate showed an interest in DIY and even said she had been given a chainsaw for Christmas as she joined in with renovations on a community hall in Tobermory.

Queens vs. schemes: Inside unscripted's Emmy battle royale
In 2024, the races for Best Competition Program and Best Reality Host were completely upended by a Scottish castle full of reality legends. Now for the juicy rematch: Will Peacock's The Traitors and host Alan Cumming scheme their way to the top again, or will RuPaul's Drag Race and host RuPaul Charles make a fierce Ru-turn to the stage? Drag Race is a five-time champion for series (2018-21, '23), while RuPaul has won the host category a record eight times (2016-23). For its recent 17th cycle, dubbed the "splashiest season in herstory," judges RuPaul, Michelle Visage, and cohorts searched for America's next drag superstar. A special twist allowed two lucky queens to stay in the competition, but only if they successfully threw a ball that dropped Visage into a dunk tank. More from GoldDerby Jay Duplass on exposing his 'dad bod' and playing a 'soft villain' in 'Dying for Sex': 'Easily one of my biggest acting challenges' 5 slots isn't enough: More limited series deserve a chance to compete with 'Adolescence' Laugh tracks: The state of the 2025 Emmy comedy race Onya Nurve won the season and the cash prize of $200,000, while Jewels Sparkles placed second. Both queens had America cheering all season long, especially in the Wicked-themed 'Rusical,' which required the contestants to sing, dance, and act on a moment's notice. "The drag gods watch over us," producer Tom Campbell tells Gold Derby about how it all came together so quickly. "It is a tireless, relentless pace ... we love the adrenaline." The Traitors aired its third season this year and went viral each week with its backstabbing and machinations. "It was absolutely the messiest group of Traitors we've had," executive producer Sam Rees-Jones tells us without hesitation, referring to Rob Mariano, Danielle Reyes, Carolyn Wiger, and Bob the Drag Queen, who turned on each other instead of the other competitors. "It was chaos in the turret, it really was." The competition was won by a record number of Faithfuls — Dylan Efron, Dolores Catania, Ivar Mountbatten, and Gabby Windey — who all trusted each other to the bitter end. Last year's Emmy-winning second cycle also saw a pair of Faithfuls claiming victory, which begs the question: Do Emmy voters prefer when good triumphs over evil? (In Season 1, a Traitor won the game and the show was snubbed in the top series race.) While RuPaul's Drag Race and The Traitors are out front, never count out The Amazing Race, which has a whopping 10 series Emmy wins to date. CBS' globe-trotter recently wrapped up Season 37 with professional gamers Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge claiming the $1 million prize, telling us, "It's like your life flashes before your eyes!" But, of course, what would a reality show be without a villain? Married parents Jonathan and Ana Towns, who placed third, struck a nerve with viewers for arguing repeatedly on camera. "You're going to see us fight,' they declared at the finish line, 'and that's just normal." This year, the big change for American Idol was the addition of Carrie Underwood, who went from Season 4 winner to Season 23 judge, sitting in between Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. "Carrie has followed the show since she was on it 20 years ago," says showrunner Megan Wolflick. "When the seat became available, what better Cinderella story is there than Carrie Underwood?" The season culminated in Jamal Roberts becoming the first Black man to win in 22 years, proclaiming to us: "I'm anointed!" Emmy voters who love an international flare might prefer to cozy up to Top Chef, which filmed Season 22 in Canada. The show experienced a culinary shake-up last year with the addition of new host Kristen Kish, the fan-favorite winner of Season 10. "The show itself is a completely well-oiled machine — they have everything taken care of," she confesses. "For me, if you compare it to the first and second years on the job, it feels more familiar and comfortable ... the joints are looser." Survivor recently concluded its 48th season on CBS and had fans screaming "Emmy!" for the scene in which Joe Hunter helped the autistic Eva Erickson through a high-pressure challenge. That was an example of going "inside the emotion," Jeff Probst says of the moment that caused him to break down in tears for the first time ever. While Probst has taken home four Emmys as host (2008-11), the show itself has yet to win the top Best Competition Program category, which was launched in 2003.

Demi Lovato Goes Full Showgirl for Her Vegas Bachelorette Party
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Surprise! Demi Lovato not only had a beautiful wedding, but she had a pretty epic bachelorette party, too. A week after marrying her now-husband Jordan Lutes, AKA 'Jutes' and sharing photos from their lavish California ceremony, Lovato gave fans a glimpse inside another one of her pivotal wedding events: her bachelorette party. In a recent Instagram post, the star documented the time that she and her friends spent in Las Vegas ahead of her Memorial Weekend nuptials. Naturally, the then-bride-to-be dressed for the occasion by sporting a white silk minidress with flouncy, feather-trimmed sleeves from Lapointe. The carousel featured clips and images of the singer posing in her bridal-inspired frock while taking selfies with her friends. In the caption, Lovato wrote: 'Bach party day/night one (not nearly enough pictures were taken 😭).' Of course, new husband Lutes commented on the post, writing, 'Ya right ur my wife.' Lovato also shared a reel from the bachelorette, which saw her strutting across a hotel room with her friends following right behind her, as they all took part in a funny social media trend. The 'Sorry Not Sorry' singer captioned the reel: '2 Fridays ago when I was still a [fiancée].' The former Disney star went all out for her Santa Barbara nuptials, wearing five different looks throughout the course of the weekend. For her ceremony, Lovato turned to Vivienne Westwood for an off-the-shoulder, corseted pearl white wedding dress. And while her weekend looks featured a selection of Westwood styles, the singer diverted from the dresses by including one silk suit look from Lapointe—the same brand the provided her feathery bachelorette mini.
