Kate Middleton Was in the *Zone* Today at Her Latest Outing—and I Can't Stop Smiling at the Pics
Exciting new year, exciting new charity to support—at least, that seems to be Kate Middleton's vibe. The Princess of Wales just signed on as the newest patron of Tŷ Hafan, a Welsh charity dedicated to helping families ensure that children with life-shortening conditions live their best and most fulfilling lives. And to kick things off, she paid a visit to the hospice on January 30, where the photos from the day truly say it all.
Pics show Middleton fully in her element—or the "zone" if you will—smiling, laughing and fully engaged with the children and families. At one point, she painted the hand of four-year-old Maddie, whose sibling is receiving care at the facility. In turn, she got a little paint of her own, thanks to nine-year-old Lottie, another child with a sibling in treatment at Tŷ Hafan. It's hard not to look at picture after picture with a big smile over the joy the princess is expressing and delivering to the children.
Richard Pohle -It's no shocker that the Princess of Wales is throwing her support behind Tŷ Hafan. She's been a longtime advocate for organizations focused on children and families, and her enthusiasm for this role was clear in her social media post celebrating the news.
"A proud moment becoming Patron of Tŷ Hafan," she shared. "Opening in 1999 as Wales' first children's hospice, @ty_hafan continues to provide specialist care to children with life-shortening conditions, offering vital support to them and their families, throughout life, at end of life, and beyond."
Richard Pohle -Tŷ Hafan was just as excited to welcome her into the fold sharing their own post about the special visit.
"We are delighted to share the exciting news that Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales has today become Patron of Tŷ Hafan Children's Hospice," the organization wrote. "The announcement was made as part of a visit to Tŷ Hafan this morning when we welcomed Her Royal Highness to our hospice, where she spent time with children, families, and staff."
Richard Pohle -They went on to highlight just how impactful Middleton's involvement will be. "As our Patron, Her Royal Highness will be an inspiration for children with life-shortening conditions and their families, our dedicated staff and volunteers, and everyone who so generously supports us. No parent ever imagines that their child's life will be short. Sadly, this is the reality facing thousands of families in Wales. We can't stop this happening, but together we can make sure that no one lives their child's short life alone."

Prince Edward Could Predict ‘Desperately Lonely' Harry's Future Amid Reports Charles' Funeral May Be the Last Time He Ever Sees His Family Again
Recent news about the British Royal family paints a very complicated picture of the dynamics. King Charles is very sick, and there are reports that succession plans are already underway. He and Prince Harry are reportedly not on speaking terms. Neither are Prince Harry and Prince William. And recent reports indicate Kate Middleton might be trying to fix the rift, after Harry said he wanted a reconciliation in a recent interview. Prince Harry wanting more of a connection with his family might be a new development, but it's certainly not a surprising one. Recent reports indicate that though Harry is living in a beautiful home with his wife and children, he is still 'desperately lonely,' according to friends. More from StyleCaster Duchess Sophie Subtly Took a Side in William & Harry's Feud Amid Reports He Caused 'Irreparable Harm' to the Royals Charles' Funeral Could Be the Last Time Harry & William Ever See Each Other Again Amid Claims There's 'No Turning Back' in Their Feud Related: Did William really cheat on Kate? Newsnation went deep into this, explaining the dynamics of Harry's friend circle, and how that makes him similar to the infamous Prince Edward. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for (fellow polo player) Nacho (Figueras) and Nacho travels constantly for polo matches,' one friend told the outlet. 'He is still very close with the 'band of brothers' who were at his wedding — particularly Guy Pelley and Mark Dyer, but… they live in England and the time zones are so different it's very hard to talk regularly. And again, there is no one for him to hang out with (in person) besides Nacho when he is in town or Meghan and the children. He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards.' Prince Harry reportedly 'has one foot in the past,' People magazine reported, which the outlet said translates to how 'It's harder to forge deep friendships with people when you're older, especially if you're wary they may speak to the press.' For some, this is very familiar. 'It's like history is repeating itself,' the friend also told NewsNation, referencing Edward VIII, later known as the Duke of Windsor, after he gave up being king to marry Wallis Simpson. After he abdicated, he reportedly had very little contact with the royal family and spent most of his time with his wife in Paris. The two were considered outcasts, and Edward VII only met with his brother King George a few times after his abdication, briefly and without his wife. This comes after reports that Harry's relationship with William is irrevocably broken. Fox News reported that sources don't expect the brothers to see each other again unless Charles dies. 'The funeral of Charles would be the first time that courtiers would imagine [them reuniting],' the outlet said. 'I can't imagine William would invite Harry to his coronation.' According to People, 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together.' But Newsnation's source disputed that. 'Please — look how easily she cut her own father out of her life after he displeased her. She's good at it. She is fine never speaking with her father again. Harry is not. England was his entire life — of course he has a foot in the past. He is lonely and misses his friends and family. He used to be able to call people up, go have a pint and hang out anytime. He can't do that now. Now he just has his bodyguards.' This explains Harry's recent interview, where he said, 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.' Now, whether a reconciliation is truly in the cards or not, remains to be seen.

Llywela Harris, music teacher who exerted a lasting influence over generations of girls
Llywela Harris, who has died aged 94, was a pint-sized music teacher who inspired generations of public schoolgirls to express themselves through song. The diminutive Llywela Harris possessed a Welsh scepticism of rank: to her, it did not matter where her young wards came from or how rich their Midlands industrialist parents might be. It was a question of where they might go harmonically. Her choir at Abbots Bromley school in Staffordshire dominated girls' music in the 1970s and 1980s, and later she was the warden of the Royal School of Church Music in London and administrator of the St Davids Cathedral Festival, Pembrokeshire. It was at St Davids that she spent her last 25 years, presiding over the tiny city's cultural life like a retired empress. Organists, conductors and visiting soloists were summoned to her cottage in Goat Street to have the rule run over them. Llywela Harris encouraged, cajoled and made things happen. Sir John Rutter composed for her and she marched her girls behind the Iron Curtain for a singing tour of Hungary. Had she been born a generation later she would likely have become a cathedral director of music. Instead, it was at the school of St Mary and St Anne, Abbots Bromley, that her creative energies found an outlet and where she exerted a lasting influence over generations of girls. She also became a mentor to Adrian Partington, now director of music at Gloucester Cathedral, and to Geraint Bowen, director of music at Hereford Cathedral, who received encouragement from Llywela Harris during his youthful posting at St Davids. Abbots Bromley, founded in 1874 by the Rev Nathaniel Woodard, was one of the Woodard group of schools, intended to provide a Christian education for the middle classes. They were sometimes described as 'chapels with a few buildings attached', but in this instance the chapel came with a terrier-like choir mistress with an ear for a duff note and an unerring nose for slackers. The school's motto, 'That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple' (Psalm 144), was never better exemplified than by Llywela Harris, who had herself been educated there. Abbots Bromley was her life, even after retirement. She was its Miss Chips. Llywela Vernon Harris was born on April 11 1931 at Lampeter in Cardiganshire, the second daughter of the Rev William Henry Harris, precentor of St Davids Cathedral and Professor of Theology and Welsh at St David's College, Lampeter. He translated several hymns and the office of compline into Welsh. Llywela's mother, sometime mayor of Lampeter, was a fine organist. Llywela and her sister Elizabeth spent their childhood walking the cliffs and bathing at Caerfai and Whitesands. She was sent to board at Abbots Bromley in 1940 and quickly distinguished herself as a pianist. In 1948 she began her studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London, under Douglas Hawkridge on the organ and Eric Thiman for composition. After gaining her LRAM she took a brief post at Southmoor prep school in Berkshire before she returned to Abbots Bromley as Director of Chapel Music in 1953. Apart from a stint at the Guildford girls' grammar school (1958-60) and a sabbatical at Stanford (1967), there she stayed. Under Llywela Harris's direction a typical week's chapel stretched to more than 10 hours of morning assemblies, compline, evensong, choral society, choir rehearsals, organ recitals, Holy Communion and the occasional dawn mass. Requests for a less onerous routine were met with masterly incomprehension. On Saturdays she took the entire school through the next week's choral music. She would sweep in to the assembly, all of 5ft 2in, and the silence was instant. Immaculately coiffeured and made-up, dressed in knee-length skirts, kitten heels and winged spectacles, she would play the opening chords of a hymn before patrolling the aisles, exhorting the girls – many towering over her – to sing. 'You are not singing to yourselves, ladies, and you are not singing to your mothers. You are singing to God, and He is a long way up.' Hundreds of youngsters bent to the will of a single, small Welsh woman. Each pupil was armed with an English Hymnal and the Briggs and Frere Manual of Plainsong. When 100 Hymns for Today was added to the arsenal, Harris proved surprisingly open to new hymns such as God of concrete, God of steel. A singable tune was the benchmark. Some days the noise levels were worthy of Cardiff Arms Park. Choir practices were more rigorous. Sins included inappropriate breath-taking, slouching, fidgeting and casual enunciation – 'Lord of hoSTS'. On Speech Day the girls would process, veiled like nuns, to St Nicholas village church, walking in pairs arranged in height order and singing all 26 verses of Jerusalem, My Happy Home – a tradition known to all as 'Jerry Heights'. There they would launch into Harris's upper-part reduction of CV Stanford's Te Deum in B flat, which had been rehearsed for weeks ('Judge has SIX beats, ladies!'). EW Naylor's setting of the Benedicite was a fixture of Lent term. Such canticles had faded from most Anglican worship, yet at Abbots Bromley they endured. Llywela Harris's teaching room, named Mozart, overlooked a dappled lawn where girls gathered for iced buns at break time. Many of her pupils became musicians for life. Her choir often sang at Lichfield Cathedral. They performed for Songs of Praise and for Radio 3's Let the People Sing, and released two albums. Llywela Harris marked her retirement from teaching in 1990 by riding away in a hot air balloon, serenaded by the girls singing the soul song Up, Up and Away. Then, after a four-year stint at the RSCM at Addington Palace in Croydon, where she tightened the ropes as its warden, she returned to Goat Street and ran the annual St Davids Cathedral Festival. In old age she spent afternoons listening to Radio 3's Choral Evensong, surrounded by her grandfather's watercolours of Oxford; beside her bed was a framed list of the school's choral society collaborations with Repton. Despite more than one engagement, Llywela Harris never married. Llywela Harris, born April 11 1931, died May 13 2025 Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Hugh Jackman (L) and Ryan Reynolds (R) have become co-owners of Australia's SailGP team (Cindy Ord) Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds became co-owners of Australia's three-times champion SailGP team on Friday, saying they were "incredibly excited". The actors, who are close friends, join Olympic gold medallist and driver Tom Slingsby at the helm of a team which was rebranded the "Flying Roos". Advertisement "We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure," the Australian Jackman and Canadian-American Reynolds said in a statement. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. "He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia." Jackman and Reynolds starred together last year in the blockbuster movie "Deadpool & Wolverine".

Advertisement It was launched in 2019 by American billionaire Larry Ellison and champion New Zealand yachtsman Russell Coutts. Australia, skippered by Slingsby, have won three of the four editions so far. "This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team," said Slingsby. "They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling and a sharp sense of humour that fits perfectly with our team." The new-look team will make its debut this weekend in New York, the sixth leg of the season. mp/pst
