Princess Charlotte and Prince George respond differently to Wimbledon champions
Arriving at Wimbledon this afternoon, Prince William and Kate Middleton were seen introducing their eldest children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George, to the men's doubles champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool.
Lip reading expert Jeremy Freeman analysed the heartwarming interaction, revealing that Kate, 43, enquired about how long the British winners had been playing as a team. Addressing Charlotte, 10, and George, nine, she remarked: "Wow, how about that? So, they only just started playing together ten months ago. And go on to win Wimbledon."
Charlotte, brimming with excitement, exclaimed: "Oh, wow."
George, as interpreted by Jeremy, commented: "Mmm nice, yeah."
Kate then observed: "Not bad is it."

Charlotte's keen interest in tennis doesn't come as a surprise; Royal commentator Ingrid Seward previously told The Sun: "Charlotte has always loved tennis, and mum Kate took her to Hurlingham when she was quite young to play tennis there. Tennis is a big family thing on both sides."
The royals attended Wimbledon to watch defending champion Carlos Alcaraz as he takes on world number one Jannik Sinner.
Kate, who presented the women's singles trophy yesterday afternoon, will once again take centre stage to award the winner on Centre Court.
The Princess of Wales, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, was greeted with a standing ovation yesterday as she made her appearance in the Royal box at Centre Court.
Jeremy reported that Kate, acknowledging the crowd, said: "Thanks. Hi."
She then turned to someone off-camera and remarked: "Sweet, very nice to hear!"

Attending solo without her husband and children, she witnessed Poland's Iga Swiatek triumph over American Amanda Anisimova with a commanding 6–0, 6-0 victory in the decidedly one-sided final.
After the match, Kate displayed her grace by telling the runner-up Anisimova: "You should be so proud, well done, and enjoy yourself."
Backstage, she had words of advice for the champion Swiatek, saying: "Ensure you have some downtime."
Kate further complimented Swiatek: "Wonderful, extraordinary achievement, very well done. Congratulations and enjoy it. Enjoy the celebrations back home."

Real reason behind Harry and Meghan's charm offensive with King Charles revealed
Prince Harry and King Charles' most senior aides have come together for a secret meeting in a major shift towards reconciliation - and it appears to be part of a wider strategy for the Sussexes A reunion between Prince Harry and his estranged father King Charles is on the cards, and it seems there's been plenty of work behind the scenes to try and improve relations. Their teams came together for a top secret meeting last week, marking the first significant shift towards reconciliation since the Duke infuriated his family with numerous public smears against them. And it has now been revealed that the meeting between Charles and Harry's most senior aides, held at a swanky London members club, came amid a "charm offensive" by the Sussexes to transform their public image on the prince's home soil. Harry and Meghan's new chief of communications, Meredith Maines, met with Charles' communication secretary Tobyn Andreae. The secret summit was held at Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) club, a mere stone's throw away from Clarence House, the monarch's London residence. Ironically, the members club prides itself on "championing international friendship across the world". A source told said of the meet: "There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in year. There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about." But the Sussexes' new communications guru was already busy schmoozing UK connections before the historic meeting, as she reportedly flew in from California days before the summit for a host of meetings and events with British businesses, charities and journalists, the Daily Mail reports. Maines, who heads up Harry's household on Monetico, California, was joined by Liam Maguire, the couple's new UK PR lead, for the meetings. It has been claimed that their busy itinerary indicates a fresh plan to reinvent the Sussex image in the UK, as the couple's move to America and subsequent attacks on the royal household has left a sour taste in the mouth of many Brits. Last month, Harry and Meghan said goodbye to six members of staff in a complete overhaul of their communications team. Those who got the boot included UK-based Charlie Gipson, their director of communications in Europe, and US-based Kyle Boulia, their deputy press secretary. Another was Lianne Cashin, the former head of operations at Archewell, just weeks after she was promoted to a senior consultant and praised by sources close to the Sussexes. Also cut was Meghan Markle 's social media manager. The shake-up is thought to have come before Meghan posted her viral twerking video on Instagram to mark her daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. There has been a notable shift in the Duchess' social media strategy since she returned to the platform, including regular photos of her children. Previously, the couple hadn't shown Archie and Lilibet's faces online but now personal family snaps are often shared by Meghan. The PR overhaul comes after Harry and Meghan were savaged by a Vanity Fair article earlier this year, which delved into their life in California and even labelled them 'local villains'. The brutal takedown also made numerous allegations of mistreatment from former staff. According to the Times, Harry and Meghan dismissed the allegations at the time, with a source close to them describing them as 'distressing'. Harry is due to head back to the UK in September for the annual WellChild events, an opportunity which could see him reunite with his dad for the first time in 18 months. But Prince William doesn't appear to have any plans to see his brother, despite the peace talks. It is understood that the historic meeting did not cover Harry returning to a formal royal role, but both teams discussed avoiding any media clashes and conflicts in the calendar.

Netflix drops 'thrilling' true-story police drama perfect for Narcos fans
A new 12-part series has been released on Netflix and has been gaining a lot of attention from fans who are describing the show as "thrilling" and "so good" Narcos enthusiasts are being encouraged to check out a gripping new police drama rooted in real events, which has just landed on Netflix. Viewers have already taken to social media in droves to heap praise on the 12-episode series, which draws inspiration from real-life incidents and chronicles a police unit pursuing American criminals south of the border. The show in question is The Gringo Hunters, and it tracks a secretive Mexican special forces squad who pursue American fugitives along the US-Mexico border. Yet their mission takes a deeply personal turn when a colleague is killed, forcing them to track down the murderer. The official description reveals how "as they try to stay under the radar to seek justice, they're forced to contend with corruption from inside their ranks". The programme boasts Narcos: Mexico veterans Mayra Hermosillo and José María Yazpik as Gloria Carbajal and Joaquin Meyer-Rodríguez respectively. A third Narcos: Mexico alumnus joins the cast, with Manuel Masalva taking on the character of Beto. Audiences might also spot Yellowstone spin-off 1923 actor Sebastian Roché, who once more portrays a man of the cloth - this time as Father Elliot Murphy. The programme takes its cue from the International Liaison Unit of the Baja California State Police, headquartered in Tijuana. This specialist team focuses on hunting down American fugitives who flee across the Mexican border hoping to dodge the US justice system. Fans have already devoured all 12 instalments and have flocked to social media platforms to voice their opinions. A user on X, previously known as Twitter, raved: "The Gringo Hunter has a thrilling story with plenty of action and a great cast. Highly recommended! 9/10". Over on Reddit, Complete_Ad_4253 posted: "I lived 5 years in Tijuana. I am loving the series, it so accurate in every way." Another Redditor, Positive_Fill_932, chimed in: "Soooo good! Loving it so far."

Conor McGregor sends message after naked photo 'leak' and kiss with mystery woman
McGregor has taken to social media for the first time since he was pictured getting close to a mystery woman in Florida - but the UFC legend didn't address the incident Conor McGregor has broken his social media silence following 24 hours of drama which saw him photographed kissing a mystery woman before naked photos allegedly showing him lifting weights with his penis were leaked. The former two-weight UFC champion was caught on camera enjoying himself at a Florida beach on Sunday, where he was spotted jet skiing before cuddling up to an unknown dark-haired woman - who was not his long-term partner Dee Devlin. The 37-year-old was photographed laying out a towel for the mystery lady before wrapping his arm around her shoulders, with The Sun reporting the 'Notorious' appeared to relish the attention from female admirers nearby. The explosive images quickly went viral across social media before McGregor was in the spotlight again when rapper Azealia Banks took to social media to post photos which allegedly showed a naked McGregor lifting weights with his penis. And McGregor later took to social media himself to make his first comments since the drama. In a post uploaded to social media, the UFC legend opted AGAINST addressing the incident and instead wished himself a happy birthday. Taking X - formerly known as Twitter - he wrote: "Happy birthday to me," reports All Out Fighting. McGregor celebrated turning 37 on Monday amid the fresh scandals, though his long-standing fiancee Dee appears to be standing by her man despite the compromising photographs. Devlin and McGregor, who have been engaged since 2020, are proud parents to four children. The couple first crossed paths as teenagers in a nightclub, and Devlin has been a constant support throughout McGregor's MMA career. Following McGregor's recent controversy, his fiancee shared a fan account's birthday message on social media that said: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." She then posted a series of photos of herself with McGregor. Last year, four years into their engagement, McGregor opened up about their wedding plans, expressing his eagerness to tie the knot with Devlin. He said: "My lady is my long-time lady," and continued, "We are set to get married soon, we are just trying to find a location. I am ready to go; we are just trying to get a location." "Is it at home? I'd like for it to be at home. We are deciding on a location. Hopefully, we get the marriage done, and that is what I'm looking forward to. These are the decisions we have. I go between do we want an extreme and extravagant. It will be extravagant and I will spare no cost for sure for my lady and my family but is it invite everyone or is it private, these are the things we are trying to figure out. We are private people but we wouldn't like to do it and think we should have done it a bit bigger. So we are in decision mode at moment, but let's see, things are good. But that's my lady all the way, the highs or lows before all of this." When is Conor McGregor's next fight? McGregor has been out of action since his defeat to Dustin Poirier in 2021. His anticipated bout with ex-Bellator champ Michael Chandler last year was scrapped due to an injury he sustained while training. The Irish fighter's last victory inside the octagon was against Donald Cerrone at welterweight in 2020. Despite a lengthy hiatus, the 37-year-old has now declared that he plans to make a return to the UFC at their White House event next year. Many fans had lost faith in McGregor's return to mixed martial arts, but the Dubliner has hinted at yet another comeback. At a press conference for a Bare Knuckle FC event, where McGregor holds co-ownership, he dropped a bombshell announcement. He stated: "It's looking like I'm headed to the Oval Office again. That's where I'm headed next." The crowd responded to his revelation with enthusiastic applause.
