King Charles had royal fans chuckling during his recent visit to a market, where he engaged with vendors and showed a keen interest in their work. The king charmed the crowd at Old Spitalfields Market in Shoreditch, London, as he took a particular liking to one stall – even asking the trader about logistics
"How do you pack it all up at the end of the day?" the monarch asked with a giggle. "[It takes] three hours, but I love it," replied the amused stall holder. The monarch went on to express his admiration upon learning that the stall was a longstanding fixture of the market, commenting: "It's a very special profession."
Continuing his tour, Charles stopped at another stall, curiously asking if the vendor was there weekly before joking that her business might improve without his "interrupting".

The King's outing was captured by TikTok user and royal enthusiast, Kayden, who detailed: "King Charles met members of the local community at Old Spitalfields Market today.
"The King attended 'Antiques Thursday', and he had the opportunity to speak to stallholders at SXSW London, a culture, technology and creativity festival, located on Brick Lane."
Others responded warmly, with one person writing: "Long live the King, what a Gent." Another commented: "The sweetest king ever."
A third individual added: "God Bless King Charles III. Always be an Inspiration to the public."
Meanwhile a fourth TikTok user exclaimed: "Happy to see you your majesty. Looking amazing and gorgeous as always. God bless and protect you majesty."
Additional snippets from King Charles' visit emerged via the Royal Family's official Instagram account. The post referenced the Taylor Swift song 'London Boy' with its caption: "Shoreditch in the afternoon!"
It continued: "Hosted for the first time in Europe, The King has visited SXSW London, a culture, technology and creativity festival in Shoreditch, East London. Originating in Austin, Texas, the festival aims to serve as a platform to showcase the future of the creative industries, supporting emerging artists and innovative projects."
Another video clip captured the king undeterred by the relentless downpour, as he warmly greeted and shook hands with the enthusiastic crowd gathered outside the market. An astonished Instagram user remarked: "Was the King seriously standing in a puddle of rain to shake hands?" before praising the 76-year-old as a "Class act!"
Another exclaimed: "I don't know what I love more. The fact that he's standing in puddles outside in the rain to talk to people. Or that this is more evidence that His Majesty is a Swiftie!"
A third admirer noted: "OMG - King Charles standing in water practically covering the tops of his shoes. Now that's commitment to meeting people!" Whilst a fourth person agreed: "What a great man our King is. Stood in that awful weather in a deep puddle to ensure he meets as many people as possible. Very classy."

Secret pain plaguing Molly-Mae Hague & Tommy Fury's reunion – amid bitter tensions with ‘fuming' Paris & Tyson Fury
The 'extremely loyal' Fury brothers are reportedly 'furious' about how it's all played out Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MOLLY-MAE Hague and Tommy Fury are basking in happiness since agreeing to give their relationship another go - but the same can't be said for their families. Instead, it is claimed that a bitter row is brewing between the Furys and the Hagues, as they reportedly clash over the Love Island couple's decision to reunite. 14 Love Island icons Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have decided to give their relationship another go Credit: Getty 14 Molly-Mae and Tommy share a two-year-old daughter together, above the couple with Bambi Credit: Instagram/mollymae 14 The pair blamed their shock split in August on the boxing champ's boozing Credit: Splash News 14 Tyson and Paris have reportedly supported Molly and Tommy's decision to reunite Credit: Instagram The reconciliation has infuriated Molly's older sister, Zoe, who has been vocal about her fears for Molly's future and how she believes Tommy's issues with alcohol could cause problems again. And that in turn has allegedly rubbed Tommy's family, including boxer brother Tyson and his wife Paris, up the wrong way. 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy,' a source claimed. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed they'd got back together during a family trip to Dubai last month with their two-year-old daughter, Bambi. It came nine months on from their shock split in August, which they blamed on Tommy's boozing. In January he said, 'We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be any more. "It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.' Following speculation they'd got back together after they were spotted smooching on New Year's Eve, Molly and Tommy, both 26, didn't address the rumours until Molly's docuseries, Behind It All aired. Watch moment Molly Mae admits she 'feels sick' watching back her Love Island audition with Tommy Fury It was then revealed the pair were working on their relationship. On the series Zoe and Molly can be seen clashing, with Zoe telling viewers, 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together.' She added, 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' In a separate scene Zoe appeared to soften her stance, but ultimately seemed down on the future of the relationship. 'I've literally been there, through everything,' she tells Molly while making dinner. 'Through the upset calls in the middle of the night because he's out and you don't hear from him. 14 The reconciliation has reportedly infuriated Molly's older sister, Zoe Credit: YouTube / MollyMae 14 And it has allegedly rubbed Tommy's family, including Tyson and his wife Paris, up the wrong way Credit: Instagram 14 Pals told The Sun in February that the Hague family, including Stephen and mum Debbie Gordon, were 'horrified' that Tommy was back on the scene Credit: Getty 'I mean, he's proven me wrong so far, to be fair, but I do think at some point that it's gonna happen again. If the drink hasn't gone away forever, the problems could potentially arise again.' In February pals told The Sun that the Hague family, including Molly's dad Stephen and mum Debbie Gordon, were 'horrified' that Tommy was back on the scene. Zoe is fiercely protective and will never forget what Tommy put Molly through, let alone forgive him 'Molly-Mae's closest friends and members of her family think this is a terrible idea and that it is all going to end in tears again,' the source said. 'Zoe is fiercely protective and will never forget what Tommy put Molly through, let alone forgive him.' Now, a separate insider claims the drama is causing grief for the Furys, especially Tyson, 36, and Paris, 35. 'The Fury brothers are extremely loyal to one another and Tyson isn't happy by how it's all playing out so publicly,' a source said. 'He hates that Zoe painted Tommy in such a bad light. He's protective over Tommy and very supportive of him getting back together with Molly. 'Detrimental' "He's fuming that Zoe tainted what should be a happy, positive reconciliation. And in turn it's putting Molly in an awkward position.' Likewise, Paris, who was said to be gutted when Tommy and Molly initially split, is believed to be throwing her full support behind the reunion. The source continued, 'Paris wants nothing but the best for Tommy, Molly and Bambi. "She's incredibly traditional in that she believes in the family unit and is delighted they're trying to make it work. "She can't understand why Molly's sister might try to hinder that. "In Paris' mind, this is the best thing that could possibly happen to Molly. Paris wants nothing but the best for Tommy, Molly and Bambi Source "She's been the supportive sister figure that Molly wishes Zoe could be.' And indeed Molly is adamant she'll do anything to make it work with her Love Island beau, admitting she's desperate to keep her family together. 'I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I'm willing to ride the wave and that's not something that everyone wants to do,' she said publicly. 'It's something I'm willing to do because I want my family.' It appears fans are divided, with backlash aimed at both Molly and Zoe. 14 Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed they'd got back together during a family trip to Dubai last month Credit: tommyfury/Instagram 14 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy,' a source claimed Credit: Instagram 14 Tyson reportedly refused to acknowledge Molly and Zoe at a shopping centre in December Credit: Instagram / @mollymae 14 Molly is adamant she'll do anything to make it work with her Love Island beau Credit: ITV Some agreed with Tyson, saying 'Zoe is too much,' and 'the sister likes the limelight with Tommy's not around.' While others backed Zoe, saying, 'I love how Zoe doesn't sugarcoat anything.' The tension between the families has allegedly been brewing for a while. The Furys were no doubt fuming when Molly's dad Stephen unfollowed Tommy after the split and last week refused to acknowledge him in a birthday tribute to his daughter. "Meanwhile, Molly's mum called Tommy's drinking 'detrimental and destructive.' In a clear sign all was not well, Tyson reportedly refused to acknowledge Molly and Zoe when they bumped into him and Paris at a shopping centre in Manchester in December. While Paris embraced Molly warmly, Tyson remained distant. And with the Hagues still wary over the reunion, it looks like Tyson will be keeping that stance for a while yet. Representatives for the Hague and Fury family have been contacted for comment. 14 Zoe and Molly can be seen clashing on the Love Island star's Amazon docuseries, Behind It All Credit: Prime Video 14 Molly-Mae has revealed she's desperate to keep her family together Credit: Courtesy of Netflix

Romeo Beckham leaves party with German influencer after break-up
Romeo Beckham has been spotted on a night out with a German influencer days after his break-up with Kim Turnbull was revealed. The middle son of David and Victoria Beckham, Romeo initially followed in his dad's footsteps and pursued a career in football. However last year he turned down a contract with Brentford FC to stay on with their B team and instead pursue a career in fashion. After breaking up with long-term girlfriend Mia Regan in February last year, the 22-year-old went on to date model and DJ Kim Turnbull, 26. But after a seven-month romance, and amid rumours of a Beckham family feud, last week it was revealed Romeo and Kim had split. A few days on, Romeo has been photographed on a night out with Caroline Daur, a model and influencer who boasts 4.6 million followers on Instagram. Late on Saturday night the pair were spotted leaving the same party at the Hotel Costes in Paris. Although she arrived alone around 11.30pm, Caroline and Romeo later slipped into the same car despite leaving the venue separately. They then headed to the French capital's trendy Julia nightclub, where they partied until 2:30am. However, security was reportedly on high alert, doing everything to shield her from the cameras including swearing at photographers. Despite initially travelling together, Romeo and Caroline then left the club separately. However, a source went on to tell MailOnline: 'Romeo was in town for work meetings, Roland Garros and also caught up with friends. He had dinner with his three friends one of whom is great friends with Caro, so she joined the group. It was a casual dinner in a group setting throughout the evening.' Caroline, 30, was born and raised in Hamburg, and started fashion blogging in 2014. Over the years she's worked with companies including Adidas, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Valentino and has founded her own brand and fitness program. The influencer has also starred in the Amazon Prime production Dinner Club and Netflix's She Said Yes. Overnight she shared a series of photos and videos from the French Open, where Romeo was seen on Friday attending the semi-final match between Italy's Lorenzo Musetti and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros. Dressed in a navy suit and black t-shirt, Romeo appeared somewhat downcast in some of the images taken at the game. It came after a source said Romeo and Kim had an 'amicable' split that has 'nothing to do' with the Beckham rift after her name was drawn into the drama after it was claimed she'd previously dated her boyfriend's brother Brooklyn, 26. 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up,' a friend told the Daily Mail. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them.' The source went on to say each had a 'busy careers' and their travel schedules meant that 'having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives'. More Trending Romeo previously dated model and content creator Mia, 22, for five years. When announcing their split in February last year, he wrote on Instagram: 'Mooch and I have parted ways after 5 years of love. We still have a lot of love and respect for each other and still hold a strong friendship and always will.' After featuring in a Burberry campaign when he was just 10, last year Romeo signed with fashion agency Paris Safe management and has since modelled for Versace at Milan Fashion Week.

Katie Price fans 'concerned' as she performs in skimpy outfit after latest procedure
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Katie Price put on a dazzling performance on stage Saturday (June 7) as she wowed fans at Portsmouth Pride. Performing her songs including 'A Whole New World' - her past duet with ex-husband Peter Andre, Katie Price was joined on the bill by stars including Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud, Sabrina Washington of Mis-Teeq fame, and Ella Morgan – notably linked to Price's beau, JJ Slater from Married At First Sight. Donning a risqué black bodysuit paired with a glittery hat spelling out 'PRICEY', Katie was a showstopper, flaunting her iconic assets and recently plumped up behind after undergoing a filler procedure she broadcasted live on social media in May. Yet as clips from her set made it to TikTok, users of the platform couldn't help but remark on her slender figure. On X, meanwhile, others voicing their concerns, including one person who declared: "I'm worried about Katie Price." While another simply reacted: "Oh dear." And echoing those sentiments, a third X user reflected: "I feel sorry for her, as it doesn't look like she has people around her that have her best interest at heart, by giving her sound advice. It's not funny, it's horrible." It's not the first time social media users have shown concern for the mum-of-five in recent times. In January this year, one tweeted: "Katie Price just popped up on my Instagram and I am so concerned. Maybe she's been like this for a while but is anyone looking out for her? She looks so unwell." It comes after fans admitted they were concerned over Katie's "frailty" earlier this year, after she shared her video of herself in a tracksuit. "Her friends and family are worried about her as she has lost a lot of weight very quickly, and she wants to go back under the knife for more work," a source told OK! at the time. The source elaborated: "She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she's not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table." (Image: Paul Jacobs/ Despite such concerns, Katie went through with enhancing her posterior in May. In a candid Snapchat update that same month, Katie addressed her followers about her weight loss - explaining that it had been wholly intentional after a foot injury and IVF attempts had led to weight gain. "Yes, I've lost weight," she confirmed. "Yes, that's what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." Meanwhile, in a conversation with Olivia Attwood on her So Wrong It's Right podcast last summer, Katie admitted she thought she had body dysmorphia – a mental health disorder characterised by an individual's fixation on perceived defects in their appearance. Katie voiced her intention to have more cosmetic procedures because she'd "never thought she was pretty."
