Kate dazzles in white as she joins Wills & King at royal procession – as disgraced Andrew misses bash for 6th year
THE King, Queen, Kate and Wills are leading the royals at Order of the Garter ceremony today - as disgraced Andy misses the bash for the sixth year running. The ceremony at St George's Chapel celebrates a 700-year-old chivalric order. 2 Andrew has been part of the order since 2006 but not been in the public procession since 2019 - shortly before his car crash Newsnight interview. Both 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to Covid and in 2022 he was abruptly banned from appearing in public just hours before. In recent years he had attended private aspects of the ceremony including an investiture and reception. The royals and other members of the garter - which is the oldest chivalric order in the UK dating back 700 years and based on the Knights of the Round Table - walk from Windsor Castle to the ceremony. Afterwards, they will catch carriages back up the hill for private meetings. Hundreds of revellers are camping up in the castle grounds for the event. Other members of the Order include the likes of Tony Blair, King Juan Carlos I of Spain, and former MI5 chief Baroness Manningham-Butler.

Iconic hotel loved by major celebs to finally reopen after 15 years with new £170million revamp
AN iconic hotel on the European seaside is set to reopen after 15 years. Grand Hôtel des Bains in Venice first opened in 1900, with 180 rooms for the "seaside elite". 4 4 4 Built on the Lido of Venice, it was forced to close back in 2010, with previous plans to turn it into luxury apartments. However, a new €200million (£170million) investment hopes to reopen the hotel. The project is being backed by Italian developer and COIMA and Abu Dhabi's Eagle Hills, behind a number of resorts in the Middle East and Africa. Not only will the hotel be restored, but the nearby parks and beachfront will be renovated as well. Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman and founder of Eagle Hills, said: "This is more than a restoration – it is a revival of European legacy through modern excellence. "Venice has always been a bridge between worlds, and we are proud to be part of its future, bringing our experience in luxury hospitality to one of the most symbolic hotels on the continent." One of the first famous guests to visit was Thomas Mann, who was inspired to write Death in Venice while there. The hotel was then even used to shoot the film in 1971. It also hosted the International Film Festival in 1932, with guests such as Liz Taylor and Robert de Niro attending as well as Audrey Hepburn and Marlon Brando. Roma producer David Linde said it was the "place to be seen, to do your thing" in the film industry. New European Sleeper Train Route Goes Through 15 Destinations He also said it was a "significantly more intimate and concentrated version of Cannes". Along with nearly 200 rooms, there was also a solarium and a private underground tunnel that went straight to the beach. Another hotel undergoing a huge renovation is The Grand Brighton. The £16million revamp of the hotel is set to be complete this year, after celebrating its 160th anniversary last year. There is also the Roslin Hotel, undergoing a £10million revamp.

Tyson Fury heads off to business meeting still wearing Primark Soccer Aid suit after dropping F-bomb live on ITV
TYSON FURY was still wearing his Primark suit a day after Soccer Aid - as the boxing legend headed off to a business meeting. The former heavyweight world champion shared England managerial duties with Wayne Rooney against the star-studded World XI. 3 Irish retailer Primark have been partnered with Soccer Aid since 2021 and this year designed stylish grey suits for England and beige for World XI. And Fury, 36, loved the outfit so much he was still wearing it a day later posting on Instagram: "Off to a business meeting now. "I've got my England managerial suit on, get up! Might get the job, who knows?" Fury had fans in stitches when he accidentally swore twice live on ITV when geeing up his England squad. He roared: "Seventy-five thousand sell-out. Unicef a great cause. Let's not forget these Three Lions on the floor. "Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f***ing Spartans." Alex Scott said: "We apologise for the swearing." Fury then swore AGAIN in the middle of the first half - prompting another apology from ITV - with Scott promising to "have a word with him afterwards". Fury watched on as England blew a 3-0 lead to lose 5-4 - with former Manchester United star-turned-City legend Carlos Tevez scoring FOUR. But the boxing great - who retired in January - said on his morning run: "We didn't get the result they wanted but everybody played well and played hard. Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary forced to apologise as Tyson Fury swears live on ITV during Soccer Aid coverage "We raised a lot of money for a great cause. Very proud of everybody who took part and well done to everybody, especially Carlos Tevez, wow! "Banging in hat-tricks and stuff, he's still got it. Had a fantastic day, big shout out to all the organisers, Unicef and Soccer Aid." Amazingly, £15million was raised for the children's charity in what was the 14th annual game. 3
