England and Man City ace Phil, 24, and girlfriend Rebecca Cooke run the site, which has 22,400 followers.
True is also seen kitted out in a £160 Monnalisa designer dress, a £40 bag from Hookd and a Pandora charm bracelet.
Her Rolex is identical to one worn by Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi, six.
Phil's own watch collection includes a Rolex Sky Dweller and a Day Date.
The midfielder, who came on as a sub in yesterday's FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace, loves spending his £200,000-a-week wages on his kids — Ronnie, five, True, and baby boy Phil Junior.
True was given a pony, Angus, at Christmas and is having riding lessons.
A source said: 'True loves anything girly, sparkly — she loves fancy things. She is the little girl that wants for nothing.'
Phil recently moved the family to a mansion with a lake in the Cheshire countryside.
He was brought up on a council estate in nearby Edgeley, Stockport.
His mum, Claire, has revealed how much her son had changed recently.
She said: 'The shocking thing is I hear him ordering salmon a lot now and he never used to eat that.'

Man City fined £1m by Premier League for repeated rule-breaking
Manchester City have been fined more than £1m by the Premier League for breaching the rules around delayed kick-offs and restarts nine times last season, England's top-flight league said on Thursday. The fine comes a year after City paid £2m to the league for breaching the same game-delay rules. The club accepted and apologised for the rule breaches, and confirmed they have reminded their players and staff of their responsibilities in complying with the rules. "Rules relating to kick-offs and re-starts help ensure the organisation of the competition is set at the highest possible professional standard and provides certainty to fans and participating clubs," the league said in a statement. "It also ensures the broadcast of every Premier League match is kept to schedule." Fines totalling £1m pounds were imposed relating to City's home games against Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, West Ham United and Newcastle United and their away fixtures against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Ipswich Town. The longest game delays were two minutes 22 seconds each for restarts v West Ham and Ipswich. City are awaiting the verdict of 115 unrelated charges of alleged breaches of the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. The charges cover a period starting from 2009 and continuing into the 2022-23 season. City have always denied any wrongdoing.

Inside Queen Elizabeth II's life at the races: She won over £8.7million... but historic footage reveals it was the humble victories that truly delighted her
It's that time of year when the bookies fill up with hopeful punters and racing enthusiasts dust off their grandest hats for Ascot. While lucky bettors could win part of a record £17.75million prize money this week, there was one member of the Royal Family who was overjoyed to leave the races with a modest £15. The late Queen's love of both horses and racing is well-documented. At the time of her death, she reportedly won 566 of her 3,441 races as an owner, and it is thought she made £8.7million from her hobby since 1988. But in 1991, the Queen, in her 60s, was joined by the Queen Mother at Epsom for the Derby, taking part in the grand racing tradition of a low-money sweepstakes. A clip from this event appeared in the 1992 BBC documentary Elizabeth R, which was produced to mark the Queen's Ruby Jubilee and gave viewers a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective on the monarchy. Dressed in a bright purple ensemble, the Queen began to watch the race on a screen before running through the room with binoculars in hand to watch the three-year-old stallion get over the line from the balcony, which is opposite the finishing post. She is so excited that she stands in front of the Queen Mother and blocks her view. 'That's my horse, isn't it? That's my horse!' the Queen said while turning to her mother as she looked at the horse, Generous. Queen Elizabeth ll is filmed for a BBC television programme as she watches racing at the Epsom Derby 'Oh my god, Mother! We won!' She was then given her winnings from the sweepstake: 'What do I get?' she asked an aide. 'Well, you get 16, Ma'am,' he answered. 'Sixteen pounds! Oh!' said the Queen, smiling broadly to the camera. It was as if the Queen were a child who had won a prize at the arcade. 'How kind of you,' she exclaimed. Earlier in the programme, there was another heartwarming scene in which the Monarch tells her mother it is nice to be on-course to watch the racing, rather than staring at a television. 'Do you know I've not watched with a pair of binoculars for ages, look at it pouring with tears, I always watch on the television,' said the Queen. Many have remarked over the years that the Queen was happiest and most relaxed when she was talking about horses. Biographer Ben Pimlott quoted a horse-world confidante in his book, The Queen, when he described her passion for the animals and the sport. 'She is very interested in stable management — and happiest with the minutiae of the feed, the quality of the wood chipping and so forth,' he wrote. Top trainer Richard Hannon Senior said Her Majesty's horse knowledge put many highly credentialed trainers to shame. 'I always had to do my homework when I ran one of Her Majesty's horses or when she came to visit our stables,' he said. 'She knows all the pedigrees of her horses inside out. There's no small talk when discussing her horses. She knows all the bloodlines going back decades. 'She also used to say to me after a stable tour, "It's nice to come to a place that doesn't smell of fresh paint".' It was a view shared by her racing adviser John Warren. 'If the Queen wasn't the Queen, she would have made a wonderful trainer. She has such an affinity with her horses and is so perceptive,' Warren once said. The British Horseracing Authority paid tribute to the much-loved monarch as it suspended race meetings when news of her death broke. This comes as Tuesday kicked off the first day of Royal Ascot. The King, whose only Ascot win was Desert Hero in 2023, is set to attend every day of the five-day festival after it was reported he was surprised at how much he enjoyed the occasion. For the 200th anniversary of the Royal Procession, Charles and Camilla arrived in a carriage with Saudi Arabia's Prince Faisal bin Salman Al Saud and Lady Sarah Keswick, one of the Queen's official companions. On day one, Charles's hopes for his horse were dashed as the favourite failed to dazzle in the sun and finished ninth. Reaching High had been hotly tipped by bookies at 11-4 before the Ascot Stakes, but he flopped in front of the expectant monarch. The King, whose only Ascot win was Desert Hero in 2023, is set to attend every day of the five-day festival after it was reported he was surprised at how much he enjoyed the occasion Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, had been cheering from the Royal Box but were seen leaving shortly after the loss, even with two more races to go. He had taken over his mother's stable of horses. The late Queen had more than 20 Royal Ascot winners during her 70-year reign. Earlier, Charles had written in the official racecard: 'Having experienced the thrill of victory at Royal Ascot ourselves in 2023, we can only wish all those competing this week the very best of luck and that everyone watching has a most enjoyable five days.' What is Royal Ascot? One of Britain's most well-known racecourses, Ascot holds a special week of races in June each year called Royal Ascot, attended by The King and Queen, who has had an interest in horses since childhood. This week has become Britain's most popular race meeting, welcoming around 300,000 visitors over five days, all dressed up in their finest clothes and hats. What do The King and Queen do at Ascot? Each day of the week begins with the Royal Procession, when The King, The Queen and accompanying Members of the Royal Family arrive along the track in horse-drawn landaus. They then spend the day watching the races from the Royal Enclosure. In 2006, Queen Elizabeth II opened the redeveloped Ascot Racecourse by thanking all who had been involved. In 2021, The Queen, as The Duchess of Cornwall, sat down with Oli Bell to discuss the passion for horse racing throughout the Royal Family, and her hope for it to continue with the next generation. Why are The King and Queen involved at Ascot? Ascot Racecourse was founded by Queen Anne in 1711, and has since received the support of a further twelve monarchs. The Ascot summer race meeting officially became a Royal week in 1911. The King and Queen are owner and breeder of many thoroughbred horses and share an interest in horses with many members of the family. The names of the week's races have a Royal theme, such as 'King George V Stakes', 'Diamond Jubilee Stakes' and 'Windsor Castle Stakes'.

Do YOU think anyone can outclass Princess Diana or Prince Philip? Royal author reveals the only royal to do it - and it's not the woman you might expect
The late Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Diana may not have had a lot in common. Prince Philip was born into the Greek and Danish royal families while Diana only became a princess through marriage. But the two shared a crowd appeal and common touch with members of the public – traits which one royal expert says another member of the Royal Family also has. Broadcaster and writer Gyles Brandreth is one of the best-positioned people to discuss the late Duke of Edinburgh, having known him for more than 40 years. Brandreth met Philip when he became involved in the work of the National Playing Fields Association, of which Philip had been president since 1948. 'Philip was a funny man who liked to laugh and make others laugh. 'I very much enjoyed his company. Having observed him many times at close quarters, I also noticed that the more unassuming people were, the friendlier he'd be.' In his 2021 book, Philip The Final Portrait, the royal biographer wrote: 'The only royal I have seen outclass both Diana and Philip is Prince William. 'I have watched him at close range – at Highgrove, on the polo field, on the streets and in the crowd. 'I have seen him with the aristocracy and everyday folk: he is comfortable with both and they are comfortable with him. 'He shows concern and empathy, in the way Diana did but without those touches of self-consciousness and self-absorption that her manner sometimes suggested. 'William is natural, friendly and completely easy with the people he meets – as Philip was. 'But William's sense of humour is gentler and his banter never borders on hectoring, as the Duke of Edinburgh's sometimes would.' Brandreth recalled a time when he was with Prince Philip they passed the kitchen of a luncheon club. The duke stopped, turned back and marched in, unannounced, to meet the chefs and dish-washers. 'There was laughter, back-slapping, joshing: an enviable display of people skills and unselfconscious charm. The only time I've seen it quite as well done was recently by William. 'Indeed, with the general public, on the whole, and with those he met undertaking his array of public duties, the duke was surprisingly equable: easy-going, unaffected and good-humoured.' He wrote that one of the things that worried the Queen and Philip about Diana was 'not that she was popular, but that she allowed her popularity to go to her head'. 'Once upon a time, Philip and Elizabeth themselves had been viewed as characters from a fairy tale. 'The difference between them and Diana was that they didn't take it personally. 'For the Queen and Philip, royalty was never about hysterical crowds, newspaper column inches, celebrity or star quality. It was simply about duty and service.' For William and Prince Harry in particular, the duke was said to be a guiding presence, offering them counsel and support in the dark days after their mother, Diana's death. On his death, William paid tribute to his grandfather, saying Philip's 'enduring presence' guided him 'both through good times and the hardest days'. This 'enduring presence' as well as his caring, grandfatherly nature was shown clearly during Diana's funeral cortege on September 6, 1997. Initially there had been no plans for Philip to walk behind Diana's coffin, as this role was intended for immediate family only. The Duke of Edinburgh joined his son Charles, William and Harry as well as Diana's brother Charles, behind the coffin during her funeral on September 6, 1997, when the young royals were only 15 and 12 But after conversations with his grandson, who asked to walk beside him in support as they followed the hearse, Philip could not refuse. The Duke of Edinburgh joined his son Prince Charles, William and Harry as well as Diana's brother Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, behind the coffin during her funeral on September 6, 1997, when the young royals were only 15 and 12. Brandreth revealed in the ITV documentary Philip: Prince, Husband, Father: 'It wasn't his idea, but there was a tradition at royal funerals of members of the royal family walking behind the hearse. 'There was no plan originally for Prince Philip to be part of that. Philip said to Prince William, if it would help, I could walk alongside you. 'So, he volunteered to do that, William accepted the invitation, so far from being what was being reported, it was an act of grandfatherly kindness to try and offer support to William.' Many observers believe William and Kate modelled themselves directly on the Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh, who were married for 73 years. Brandreth wrote that William and Kate lived 'a relatively normal young officer's life' while he was training with the Search and Rescue force in north Wales – 'not dissimilar to the experience enjoyed by Philip and Elizabeth when the Duke of Edinburgh was a young officer serving in the Royal Navy in Malta sixty years before'. The royal author recalled when Philip was ill in the summer of 2012, as vice-president of the National Playing Fields Association, he spent a day watching Kate and William. He wrote: 'I watched them "doing their thing" on a playing field in Nottingham - meeting and greeting, walking and talking, making a speech, playing with some children – and they did not put a foot wrong. 'At all times their focus was entirely on the people immediately in front of them. Not once did either of them play to the cameras – or even acknowledge them. 'And I noticed too, that just as the Duke of Edinburgh, in more than 70 years of royal duty, never once put himself above, before, or ahead of his wife and sovereign. William and Kate arrive with their children for the Service of Thanksgiving for the life of Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh at Westminster Abbey on March 29, 2022 'Philip would take no credit for the successful way in which Catherine has merged into the Royal Family - becoming a star, but somehow managing not to behave like a celebrity. 'She appeared to have learnt all the lessons that Philip could have taught her.' Philip guided William through his youth to adulthood. Even in his absence, as William prepares to one day take on the crown, he and his wife appear to have retained the wisdom of his late grandfather. Philip's advice to Kate: 'Never look at the camera,' according to GYLES BRANDRETH When Kate Middleton came along as a potential bride for his grandson, the Duke of Edinburgh was, he told me, 'relieved to find her such a level-headed girl'. But he refused to take any credit for the successful way in which Catherine has merged into the Royal Family — becoming a star, but somehow managing not to behave like a celebrity. 'If you believe the attention is for you personally,' he told me, 'you're going to end up in trouble. The attention is for your role, what you do, what you're supporting. 'It isn't for you as an individual. You are not a celebrity. You are representing the Royal Family. That's all. 'Don't look at the camera. The Queen never looks at the camera. Never. 'Look at who you're talking to. Look at what you've come to see. Diana looked at the camera.'
