Prince William and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, drinking cider at the Royal Cornwall Show in Wadebridge, England, on June 6.What To Know
The Prince of Wales was at the Royal Cornwall Show with his aunt Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, when they tried a Rattler, a brand of Cornish hard cider that also sells a zero percent alcohol alternative.
On being told he had been offered the zero percent version, William replied: "Oh no, no, no, no. I need an original," referring to the brand's signature drink, which contains 5.5 percent alcohol by volume.
As he stood by the Rattler stall, William had said earlier, "Everyone remembers where they were when they had their first Rattler." He added: "You remember the first one. You don't remember the last."
"We've got [something] a little bit different for you today," his host replied.
"What's the Rattler? Zero?" William said. "Oh no, no, no, no. I need an original." The royal continued: "You bring out the big guns. Can't do the zero stuff."
What People Are Saying
One user commented on the TikTok video: "He's a great example for other Royals he's in touch with the everyday man loves football and loves a drink long live the future king."
Another wrote: "Is 0% cider not just apple juice."
A commenter added: "Future king has great banter."
Prince William Speaks Out About Oceans
Since the Royal Cornwall Show, William has helped to promote a new nature documentary, David Attenborough: Ocean.
He also gave a speech about protecting the world's oceans in Monaco on Sunday: "The truth is that healthy oceans are essential to all life on earth. They generate half of the world's oxygen, regulate our climate and provide food for more than 3 billion people.
"And today, they need our help. Rising sea temperatures, plastic pollution and overfishing are putting pressure on these fragile ecosystems … and on the people and communities who depend most upon them.
"What once seemed an abundant resource is diminishing before our eyes. We all stand to be impacted. And we are all responsible for change—both negative and positive."

Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. A reviewer-beloved (and makeup artist–beloved!) beauty sponge blender that rolled up and ate up all the expensive name-brand versions for breakfast.

A shockingly affordable "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a punch as powerful as the $30+ versions — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.)

Georgina Rodriguez Addresses Living Situation With Cristiano Ronaldo
Georgina Rodriguez Addresses Living Situation With Cristiano Ronaldo originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Georgina Rodriguez is clearing the air about what life is really like behind closed doors with global soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo. In a recent conversation shared by Vogue, the 31-year-old model and influencer discussed openly how fame has changed their lives, but not their home. Rodriguez, who once worked as a shop assistant, became a public figure after meeting Ronaldo in 2016. Today, she's more than just a partner to the world-famous athlete; she's a mother of six and a fashion star in her own right. But for her, it's the family life that matters most. Ronaldo asked Rodriguez if she missed the days before fame. Her honest answer gave fans a rare glimpse into how the famous couple balances stardom with normalcy. 'If I tell you the truth, I no longer remember clearly what day-to-day life was like without being famous,' Rodriguez admitted. 'Of course, you are on another level, but in my case I have adapted to this situation of being very well known.' Despite being household names, Rodriguez emphasized that their family life is grounded and full of love. 'It is part of our routine and our daily life,' she said. 'We are a very normal family despite everything, we love being together and making plans.' For Rodriguez, fame hasn't taken away the simple joys of being with Ronaldo and their children. 'Being famous does not stop us,' she added. 'We just adapted to this new stage of life.' Recently, fans began speculating about a possible return to Madrid for Ronaldo after Rodriguez posted a TikTok video showing a home in Madrid being decorated and furnished. The clip sparked rumors that the couple might be preparing for a move back to Spain. Meanwhile, Ronaldo's club future remains uncertain. After sharing a message on Instagram that read, 'This chapter is over. The story? Still being written,' many believed he was leaving Al-Nassr. However, newer reports suggest that he may have already signed a new deal with the Saudi club. Regardless of where Ronaldo plays next, Rodriguez made it clear that their life will stay centered on their children and each story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Katy Perry Expertly Braves Fan Intrusion in Lifetimes Tour Video
A fan crashed Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour concert in Sydney, and she handled the intrusion with utmost grace and her signature humor. On Monday night, the pop sensation took over the Qudos Bank Arena in the city, taking fans on a cosmic journey. However, a frenzied admirer couldn't contain their excitement and stormed the stage while she performed one of her all-time hits. With the most awkward expression on her face, Perry braved the intrusion and continued performing despite the momentary chaos. Katy Perry's fans can't seem to get enough of her, with one in particular who interrupted her Lifetimes Tour Sydney concert. The audience witnessed a sudden commotion on Monday night after a fan crashed the singer's concert at the Qudos Bank Arena. She was right in the thick of her second of the three sold-out shows of her tour's Australian leg when the admirer crashed the show. A viral video captured the moment when the individual stormed the stage while Perry performed her timeless hit, 'Hot N Cold.' The intrusion completely took her by surprise, but she expertly handled the situation with a classic response. The clip showed the fan putting their arm around her, catching her off guard amid her performance. But the award-winning musician rolled away and distanced herself from the man while the security hurried to intervene. Needless to say, Perry didn't fumble after the fan crashed her concert, turning it into a memorable moment for her audience. The footage further showed her addressing the crowd, saying there would never be 'another show like it, so just enjoy it, Sydney.' Meanwhile, a few security personnel escorted the intruder off the stage despite his resistance. The video concluded with her shouting into the microphone, 'What the hell is going on?' The Sydney Morning Herald has since shared a fresh update on the fan, whom authorities identified as Johnson Wen, a 'serial prankster.' Wen, who goes by the username Pyjama Man on TikTok, is a regular mischief-maker infamous for causing public disturbances and storming concert stages. The New South Wales police confirmed arresting the man and charging him with entering enclosed land and obstructing a person in the performance of work or duties. Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea. The post Katy Perry Expertly Braves Fan Intrusion in Lifetimes Tour Video appeared first on Mandatory.
