Princess Sofia Stuns in the Season's Biggest Trend at Royal Christening for Princess Ines
If there's one thing royals do well (besides, you know, being royal), it's keeping up traditions. And right behind that? Nailing the fashion game. From Kate Middleton to Duchess Sophie, royal women consistently serve stylish, elegant looks—and Princess Sofia of Sweden is definitely a name making that list. On June 13, Princess Sofia and her husband Prince Carl Philip were photographed leaving Drottningholm Palace Chapel in Stockholm after the christening of their five-month-old daughter, Princess Ines. While the day was all about celebrating their newest little royal, we couldn't help but be distracted by Sofia's stunning outfit. PatrickShe wore a vibrant yellow dress paired with a matching headband and heels—basically sunshine in outfit form. And while the trend forecast has been calling for butter yellow this season (a more muted, pastel take), I'm making a case for bold yellow being included. The day also marked a personal milestone for the couple—it was their 10th wedding anniversary. Since tying the knot in 2015, they've become parents to four children: Prince Alexander, 9, Prince Gabriel, 7, Prince Julian, 4, and now baby Princess Ines, born on February 7. PatrickRoyal watchers, take note: the christening ceremony is set to air this Saturday at 8 p.m. on Swedish television. The Swedish royal family even shared a few preview snaps on social media, including a sweet shot of Carl and Sofia smiling up at their daughter, plus close-ups of the gorgeous decor and a full family portrait. Consider me officially inspired—can't wait to see what she wears next. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.

What We Learned from OnlyFans' Annie Knight: How Much She Makes, Sex Logistics, Bonnie Blue Dynamic
For Australian OnlyFans creator Annie Knight, being dubbed Australia's Most Sexually Active woman is 'accurate.' 'I doubt there's anyone out there that has a higher body count than me. In Australia anyway,' Knight, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly. 'I remember when I first got named that it was two radio hosts in Australia, they called me beforehand, and they were like, 'We're just gonna call you this. Is that OK?' And I was like, 'Well, yeah, why not? That's true.' So I've just owned it from day one and I love it.' Knight made headlines in May when she slept with 583 men in six hours — a number that was on-track to beat fellow OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue's current record of 1,057 men in 12 hours. While Knight blew her 2025 goal — 1,000 men in a year — out of the water, she has no plans of stopping anytime soon. 'I definitely want to keep going for as long as possible. I just think, why not? I don't think you could ever say no to making this amount of money,' she told Us. 'Obviously, I also enjoy it and it's fun. I love my job. I wouldn't want to do anything else.' Scroll down to see everything Us learned from recent interviews with Knight: To complete her challenge of sleeping with 583 men in six hours, Knight split up the men into hour time slots. 'I was obviously gonna have the most energy at the start. It kind of depended, sometimes it was 10, sometimes it was 20 guys in the room at once,' Knight said. 'So I'd be working on like five guys at once whilst everyone else was sort of watching, getting ready.' 'After a few rounds of that, when I sort of started to get tired, then we moved to five guys and we did that for a little bit. Then we moved to two guys. Then eventually, by the very last hour, I was just doing one guy,' she said. 'My jaw was very sore by the end of the day.' While Knight typically has participants be tested for STDs prior to an event since it 'looks better' to create content to have the men not wear condoms, she explained it was 'impossible' to try and have all 583 men undergo testing. Instead, she decided to demand that everyone wear condoms. Knight noted that she typically gets tested for STDs every two weeks. 'I just need to be safe for their protection and for my protection,' she said. OnlyFans' Annie Knight Gives Update Amid Hospitalization After Sleeping With 583 Men in 6 Hours Three weeks before completing her 583 men challenge, Knight underwent surgery. Despite the health battle, Knight noted that she 'felt really good' on the actual day. Days later, Knight shared that she had been hospitalized and confirmed to Us that she underwent blood tests and further medical testing. 'I'm not doing very well, I've been bleeding a lot since the challenge,' Knight told Us. 'It was definitely a bit raw down there and I did get a small cut.' Knight noted that her body 'just hit a wall' afterward, explaining that she's 'exhausted' from organizing the event while purchasing her 'dream house.' She added that her endometriosis became 'worse,' noting that 'hormonal imbalances can cause irregular and heavy periods' — which is what she has been 'dealing with since.' 'The prognosis is good, and it looks like I'm going to have to take a week off, try and relax a little bit, sit out in the sun, just take it easy for a little while,' Knight said. 'But I'll definitely be OK. I'm not letting this slow me down.' While Knight noted that many people expect the men to be 'pushy or rude,' she said 'everyone was super nice.' After the event, Knight received messages from some of the men thanking her for the experience. 'I had a bunch of them message me and just say, 'Thanks so much for today. I was number 206, or whatever,' and just being really grateful for the opportunity,' she said. 'I went through my DMs afterwards — I wanted to respond to them all — because I appreciated it too. It was really amazing how many guys showed up. And I had guys drive six hours to be there. I had guys fly into state just to be there for the event, and then flew straight home after. So it was pretty crazy.' Knight explained that she feels like she forms 'friendships' with a lot of the guys. While some participants tend to put her on 'this pedestal,' Knight noted that she's 'just a normal person.' 'I've taken guys' virginities before and then they've messaged me later and been like, 'Thanks so much.' And then months down the line, sent me a message, like, 'I just had my second experience with the girl, and I used all the tips that you gave me.' It's just so nice,' Knight said. In Knight's perspective, it makes her feel like she's 'doing my good deed or something.' She added, 'It makes me feel really good.' OnlyFans' Influencer Lily Phillips Is 'Quite Excited' to Sleep With 1,000 Men in 24 Hours When it comes to the criticism she receives over events like the 583 men challenge, Knight noted that she's 'used to' the hate. 'People seem to, like, get so uptight about it. At the end of the day, these men just want to have sex. God forbid, a man has sex. And I'm providing a service for free,' she told Us. 'It really upsets me when I see people coming after the guys and being so mean about the guys that showed up, because I feel quite protective of them, and so when I see all these negative comments toward them, it really, like, upsets me.' She continued, 'I don't understand why people have such an issue with it. These guys are just out here living life. They've been given an opportunity, and they're like, 'F*** it. Like, let's just do it.' They're just having some fun. I think the people that are hating [are] probably just jealous, and their lives are really boring …I mean, the more they hate on me, the more views I get, and the more money I make.' Knight claimed that her haters 'wouldn't be able to' make the money she earns through her job. 'Instead of being supportive and being like, 'Wow, that's so cool. Good on you,' they try and drag me down … because we're successful and we're living our dream lives,' she said. Knight guessed that the criticism she faces 'comes from jealousy' and 'a lack of understanding,' including people 'conforming to societal norms.' 'They don't want to come out and say, 'Oh, wow, that's so cool. Good on you,' because they don't want to get judged. They are so fearful of judgment,' Knight said. 'I don't care. I'm out here living my life. I'm speaking openly, I'm living my life authentically, so they can keep being mad, but I'm gonna keep being happy.' Ahead of Knight's event, Blue sent her a message with tips of supplies to purchase. Knight noted that the gesture was 'really helpful,' because there were a few things she hadn't thought of to track down – like a toothbrush, toothpaste and tissues. 'Bonnie and I've always been super friendly,' Knight noted, adding that the pair began chatting online before Blue skyrocketed to OnlyFans stardom. 'It's been really cool for me to watch her grow. We've always had a really supportive friendship, it's never been competitive at all. We want to help each other. We've always helped each other. We give each other tips and advice and that kind of thing.' 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Virgins Through the Years In addition to Knight's 1,000 men in a year goal for 2025, the OnlyFans creator also has her eyes set on sleeping with 500 virgins. As of May, Knight told Us she's had sex with about 223 men who are virgins. 'That's been the hardest challenge for me is that one, just because obviously you have to take a lot more time and care with them. Finding guys who are virgins, who are willing to be filmed for their first time, is not that easy,' she said. For Knight, being able to say that she's 'taken a guy's virginity and taught him how to have sex' is 'just so cool.' 'A lot of these guys are late 20s, 30s, 40s, which might surprise a lot of people, and they've never had sex, and they maybe can't afford to hire an escort, or they don't want to. I'm providing them a service, and they get to have it for free,' Knight said. 'Who better to do it than someone as experienced as me? It's just a cool thing to do. So I thought, why not?' Knight noted that the act 'definitely feels empowering.' She added, 'They always say, like, 'I can't believe I get to say that Annie Knight took my virginity.' And I'm like, 'Yes, that's so cool.' I love that we both are so excited by it.' Knight, who got engaged to Henry Brayshaw in March one week after the pair officially began dating, had the support of her fiancé from afar ahead of the 583 men challenge. 'He was actually at work the day of the event, but he called me in the morning, wished me luck, said, 'Make us proud. Have fun. Be safe,'' Knight told Us. 'And then called me the night of and was like, 'How was it?' And I told him all about it.' Knight said that Brayshaw was 'just really stoked' that she 'went above and beyond' her goal. 'He was proud of me for completing it, because I think he was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to and that I'd be upset that I couldn't do it,' she said. 'He was just really happy for me.' The pair, who had been friends for years, are set to tie the knot in Australia's Gold Coast in October 2026. While Knight explained that the couple are sleeping in separate bedrooms, she noted they have plans to switch up their sleeping arrangement with their move. 'The house is a lot bigger, so we're gonna get a king bed and sort of give that a go. But we'll have a lot of spare bedrooms, so if he's ever snoring, I can always sneak off and sleep in one of them,' Knight quipped. Knight, who noted that their personal relationship is monogamous, explained that she initially implemented a kissing boundary with the men she sleeps with out of respect for her fiancé. After she and Brayshaw had a conversion, however, Knight set new parameters. 'I definitely kissed a few of the guys on Sunday who — that's what they wanted,' she said. 'They really wanted to kiss me and I was open to it because I'd had that conversation with Henry, and he said that that was fine.' While Knight's mom Karyn was initially hesitant about her OnlyFans, she came around to the idea. 'She was worried about my safety more than anything and my future,' Knight explained. 'But since then she's the most supportive of anyone.' Bachelor Nation Sex Confessions: From Courtney Robertson to Peter Weber When Knight began making OnlyFans content full-time in 2022, she was earning about $10,000 per month. The following year, Knight's career took off — and she began making over $200,000 per month. Since then, Knight told Us her income has been 'pretty consistent.' 'I was so scared when I went viral because I was making so much money, and then I was like, 'Oh, it's gonna end eventually. Like, when's it gonna start coming crashing down?'' she said. 'I kept waiting for it to come crashing down and it just hasn't. I think that that says a lot about my work ethic. I haven't stopped.' While Knight 'always hoped' she would be able to support herself with her career, she didn't think her monetary success would be 'to this extent.' 'When it actually happened. I was like, 'This is crazy,'' she shared. 'I own four properties now, which is the most insane thing ever because I remember five years ago, all I wanted was to buy an apartment or something and I couldn't afford it. It feels nice to have financial security and also to be able to support people in my life who need some help at the moment. That feels really good. I'm very grateful.' While having children is 'still a little while off' for Knight, she doesn't see expanding her family as a reason to end her OnlyFans career. 'I know a lot of women in the industry have kids. Whether or not they talk about it is another thing,' she claimed. 'People are happily married with children, they're in the industry, they're in their 40s. I don't know, I don't see why not. We'll see what happens, things could change.'
