Princess Charlotte's Expected Role at Trooping the Colour Proves She's the Ultimate Big Sister
Princess Charlotte, 10, and the rest of the royal family are gearing up for Trooping the Colour on June 14 and fans are already expecting an important personal role for her.
The middle child of Prince William and Kate Middleton is known to be the reliable rule-follower in the family — that means she will probably be helping Mom keep Prince Louis' adorable antics to a minimum. A royal source promised GB News that Charlotte loves playing the big sister role to her little brother. And if he misbehaves?

'Don't worry, his sister will do [take care of] that,' the palace insider confirmed.
At Trooping the Colour in 2024, Charlotte was spotted helping Louis with royal protocol. She sweetly showed him how to hold his arms for the English National Anthem, but she also scolded him to 'stop' when he danced on the balcony. Charlotte takes her royal role very seriously.
Princess Charlotte's 'strong character' is why her appearances will reportedly be ramped up this summer. Childrenswear designer Amaia Arrieta described the young royal to People as 'almost wise beyond her years.'
'She looks very confident and at ease with herself and the environment she's in,' she added. 'The maturity that comes with that responsibility—she seems to nail it every time.'
Prince Louis, 7, has become known for his carefree, wild streak, something that royal fans don't necessarily see in Prince George, 11, or his younger sister.
BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond explained why there seems to be parenting differences with Louis. 'Being the youngest is often something of a privilege,' she told the Mirror. 'You get away with a lot more and you are that little bit special as the last-born.'
'Catherine probably lets Louis run wild more than she did with George. She and William are very experienced parents and I'm sure they love all three kids equally—but probably in different ways,' she added. 'George because he's the first-born and has a destiny to fulfill, Charlotte because she's the only girl, and Louis because he's the youngest.'
So, Charlotte will likely step up and guide Prince Louise throughout the Trooping the Colour festivities as she shines as a leader in the royal family.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1457 Hints, Clues And Answer For Sunday, June 15th
How to solve today's Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Looking for Saturday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: It's Father's Day! Happy day to all you dads out there, and to all of you who may just be filling that role in someone's life, whether that's a single mom or a grandpa or a stepdad or whoever else. It's an important job! It's also one of the best jobs, certainly my favorite out of all the many gigs I've had over the years. I'm excited to spend the day with my kids. And a very special Happy Father's Day to my dad! You couldn't ask for a better father and role model. But before we get to that, let's solve today's Wordle! The Hint: Avian. The Clue: This Wordle has two letters that almost always go together. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Screenshot: Erik Kain Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. SPACE wasn't a bad opening guess, but it left me with just one green 'A' and little to work with. BOINK, unfortunately, only slashed 71 words down to 12. Little chance of guessing on three. I guessed FLAIR in the hopes of cutting out as many solutions as possible, and was left with two to choose from: AVAIL or QUAIL. I went with the one that didn't have a double letter and luckily for me, that was the Wordle. Huzzah! Today's Wordle Bot Screenshot: Erik Kain The Bot and I each got this in four, meaning we each got zero points. Our June totals remain the same. Erik: 11 points Wordle Bot: 8 points The word quail (the bird) comes from Middle English quaille, borrowed from Old French quaille, which likely comes from Medieval Latin quaccula, an imitation of the bird's call (onomatopoeic origin). As a verb meaning "to cower or lose courage," quail is unrelated and comes from Middle English quailen, likely from Old English cwacian meaning "to quake or tremble."

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Twin In Aquamarine For Trooping the Colour
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Princess Charlotte was every bit Kate Middleton's mini-me at this year's Trooping the Colour celebration. The mother-daughter duo matched in bright aquamarine hues for the annual event, which honors the reigning monarch's birthday with a grand display of military pageantry. While Charlotte often coordinates her look with her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, for royal outings, this time she took a cue from her mother's signature flair for a standout sartorial moment and opted to mirror her fashion rather than her siblings'. For the parade, which traditionally sees members of the royal family arrive in horse-drawn carriages, the Princess of Wales wore a striking blue-green and ivory coatdress by Catherine Walker. Ever the fan of a good accessory, she completed the look with a wide-brimmed Juliette Botterill hat topped with a sculptural flower, the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, and drop pearl earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth. She paired her ensemble with nude pointed-toe pumps that grounded her outfit. Charlotte echoed her mother's palette in a light aqua dress featuring a crisp white bow at the waist, which matched the ribbon tied into her signature braided half-up, half-down hairstyle. Following in her mom's footsteps, she finished her look with classic white ballet flats. Trooping the Colour, which is also known as the King's Birthday Parade, is a tradition that dates back to King George III in the 18th century. Though King Charles won't turn 77 until November 14, the June ceremony serves as the sovereign's official birthday celebration every year.

Beyoncé wishes Jay-Z happy Father's Day, honors dads during fifth show in London
Beyoncé wishes Jay-Z happy Father's Day, honors dads during fifth show in London Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered her fifth show on her "Cowboy Carter" tour in London, and she took a moment to wish husband Jay-Z happy Father's Day and honor all the fathers in the building before the night ended. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 14 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium around 7:41 p.m local time. The show marked her fifth of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. Her last show in London is set to take place June 16, before Beyoncé heads to Paris for three nights. She started the show thanking fans for their loyalty and support for her nearly three-decade career. "Every time I see all of you guys dressed up and your beautiful signs, I just feel so much gratitude inside," she told the roaring crowd as she opened the show. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. And Saturday's concert was no different as she debuted more looks and delivered a high-powered show. Toward the end of the show, Beyoncé made sure to honor Father's Day, which takes place June 15. "I want to wish all the fathers a very, very happy Father's Day," she said, and then she took a moment to give the hip-hop mogul a special shoutout as she held up the Roc diamond hand symbol, as a reference to Jay-Z and his entertainment company Roc Nation. During her fourth show in London, Beyoncé also took a moment to wish her twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, a happy birthday onstage. She promoted fans to join in the sweet moment as Rumi stood on stage. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
