"Not every day you get royal approval at parkrun. This morning, His Majesty The King joined Sandringham parkrunners in the café to offer his congratulations, including to the Sandringham 5k Your Way group as they marked their one-year anniversary," the caption read.

The weekly 5k run sees participants complete two laps of the course, which takes joggers on a scenic route through the woodland at Sandringham Royal Park.
Parkrun was set up in 2004 by Peter Paul Sinton-Hewitt and the free community 5k run now sees thousands of runners taking part in the event every Saturday morning at 1,308 locations around the UK.
Princess Beatrice was the first member of the royal family to take part in the London Marathon, taking on the gruelling 26.2-mile race in honour of the Children in Crisis charity. She completed it dressed as a human caterpillar, alongside 33 other runners.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Edinburgh took on the first mile and a half of the virtual London Marathon in 2020, in aid of her patronage, Mencap.
The Princess of Wales is also said to enjoy jogging, with Kate releasing a video message in the middle of a run in 2021 to mark Children's Mental Health Week.
Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry also took part in a training session with London Marathon runners in 2017. Watch below...
King Frederik of Denmark, who has completed marathons in Copenhagen, New York and Paris, set up Royal Run in his home nation in 2018 and it has become an annual event ever since.

'90s Supermodel Kate Moss, 51, Stuns Fans in New Beach Photo That Has Everyone Talking
'90s Supermodel Kate Moss, 51, Stuns Fans in New Beach Photo That Has Everyone Talking originally appeared on Parade. Supermodel Kate Moss, 51, has still got it. The stunning '80s and '90s cool girl put on a leggy display as photographers snapped her turning an Ibiza beach walk into her own personal catwalk. The British model, who rose to fame in the 1980s as the face—and body—of Calvin Klein, was photographed in Spain this summer while vacationing with her daughter, model Lila it's Kate's completely over-the-top 'beach bag' that has everyone talking. In recent photos taken in Ibiza, Kate can be seen wearing a gauzy white top with simple bikini bottoms. She accessorized the outfit with a $13K brown Hermès Kelly bag, which she left unclasped and dangling in the sand. Fans React to Kate Moss Using a Hermès Bag as a Beach Bag Fans had a lot to say about Kate's surprising beach accessory, with most praising the model for not treating the high-priced handbag like a precious museum piece. "Love that she is using it for the beach—just ultra cool Kate," wrote one adoring fan. Another agreed, writing, "Well, it looks like it's been around the block a few times. What's a little sand?" While at first glance, Kate Moss's use of a very high-end bag as a beach bag may seem frivolous, fans had a different take. After all, what's the point of having a fancy handbag if you never use it—even in the sand?Tap here to see photos of Kate Moss's Hermes beach bag. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 '90s Supermodel Kate Moss, 51, Stuns Fans in New Beach Photo That Has Everyone Talking first appeared on Parade on Aug 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dogs Trying To Play Fetch With Baby Sister Melt Hearts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Four dogs hoping for a game of fetch have melted hearts on the internet after trying to recruit the youngest member of their family as their new playmate. In a clip posted on TikTok by Kenneth Ray Prince (@kennyprince1), his Australian shepherd trots up to his 4-month-old granddaughter and drops a ball into her baby bouncer before barking expectantly. The on-screen text reads: "See if the new hooman will throw it!" "They actually did it again," Prince told Newsweek. "I had to distract them to leave her alone." Prince, 60, explained the lineup of furry hopefuls: Arlo the Australian shepherd; Archer the corgi; Beat the Border collie; and Murphy the Maltipoo. "My Australian shepherd kept dropping the ball in front of my granddaughter," Prince added. From left: The Australian shepherd, corgi, Border collie and Maltipoo dogs try to play fetch with the baby girl. From left: The Australian shepherd, corgi, Border collie and Maltipoo dogs try to play fetch with the baby girl. @kennyprince1 While the dogs' persistence is cute, it is also instinctive. Australian shepherds, corgis and Border collies are all herding breeds, historically bred to work closely with humans and respond to movement, making them especially motivated by games such as fetch. Dogs are also surprisingly socially aware. Evidence suggests they can tell the difference between adults and children, often adjusting their behavior, though their natural drive to play can still override any hesitation. Dropping a ball repeatedly in front of someone—even a baby—is a form of social teaching, a way for canines to encourage a playmate to join in. Maltipoos, while not a herding breed, are famously social and affectionate, making them equally eager to be part of the action. Prince's clip has received over 1.4 million views and almost 190,000 likes. Hundreds of TikTok users commented on the clip. "Did they have a group meeting before walking over?" one user wrote. "The corgi giving orders and the aussie carrying out the tasks is so accurate," another commented. A third user posted: "This is amazing. People under estimate the intelligence of dogs. The corgi is clearly the boss!" Many other users agreed that Archer was the mastermind behind the plan. "People love it; a lot of funny comments," Kenny said. While the baby girl isn't quite ready to throw a ball yet, judging by her four-legged fan club, she will have no shortage of eager playmates when she does.

Leggings-Under-Dresses Is This Year's Most Divisive Trend. Here's How To Wear It
The cyclical nature of the fashion industry is of news to nobody. We all know that what goes around comes around and that fashion trends have a lifecycle of around 20 years. What this means for 2025 is that those pieces that shaped 2005 — YouTube's launch year, when Arctic Monkeys released 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor', and when Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's sofa — are ripe for renewal. And this very much includes leggings, and especially the styling choice of styling them under a skirt or dress. Unlike other trends that altogether disappear between their moments in the sun, leggings haven't so much gone away as have become big business for those that have embraced the post-pandemic Park Run towards athleisurewear. Choosing a pair of leggings has become commonplace and, whether you love them or loathe them, are among the defining items of this era's sartorial legacy. Yet, returning to the idea of layering leggings under a dress or skirt is enough to give any millennial who wore the trend two decades ago a little cause for concern. As with many questionable noughties looks, the pairing feels so utterly nostalgic to our tween or teenage choices that it's even perhaps incomprehensible that we'd want to attempt it again now. (It's also worth noting that 2005 came 20 years after 1985, when leggings were also the style du jour – think Madonna's movie Desperately Seeking Susan. So, despite us thinking we were innovators then, we certainly were not.) So, just on time, in 2025 a pervasive argument for their return arrives spearheaded by a cohort of designers: all of them millennials, most of them women and presumed wearers of the style pairing back in the mid 2000s. In her latest lookbook for a collection of pieces sold exclusively at Dover Street Market, Molly Goddard chose to style her voluminous tulle dresses with just-below-the-knee leggings and pointed shoes. The styling choice gives Goddard's familiar silhouette a refresh that feels at once nostalgic as it does future-facing. It raised my suspicions that a full-blown leggings redux could be bubbling on the horizon. But also, if I was going to try my Molly dresses with leggings, I might just need a little more convincing. Flicking through the AW25 collections, I quickly found other designers on the same page as Goddard. NY-based Sandy Liang is renowned for her girlish collections that centre around feminine details and sweet colour palettes and she put forward countless looks completed with leggings. Liang's were styled to be worn under skirts, sometimes clashing, sometimes matching with the patterns of the other pieces. It added to the new route to sportswear she seemed to steer for the season. Another designer on board is one of my favourite emerging stars: Lucila Safdie. The Central Saint Martins graduate has made leggings — even those with frilled buttocks — a central tenet of her sweet-cute aesthetic. 'I love them so much because you can have fun with them,' Safdie tells me. 'I like that they can be all different colours, prints, sheernesses – they can be worn by themselves or styled in so many ways, like with a dress, skirt or even a pair of shorts on top.' For Safdie, the perfect way to wear the look now is with 'a sheer dress and printed leggings,' affirming the ideas also put forward by Goddard and Liang. 'Cuteness!' she adds. Of course, cuteness isn't on everyone's sartorial agenda. At 16Arlington, Marco Capaldo has given the illusion of leggings a more sophisticated edge through solid black options worn with voluminous eveningwear. Here, they bring a directional edge that is easy to add to any pre-existing wardrobe favourite. It's these that have perhaps tempted me most as, like many, I can be more inclined to experiment when it comes to what I wear in the evening. The return of leggings might be in its infancy, but with them being so easy-to-wear, easy-to-access and probably already in all of our wardrobes, it's likely that, 20 (or 40!) years after we first fell in love with them, it might just be time to reconsider them outside of the Pilates class and worn under your favourite dress.
