According to Hello!, while chatting with local kids at a youth forum hosted by Street Soccer Scotland, with a mission of teaching positive change through football, William revealed that Louis doesn't have one favorite football team...but five.
One member of the Youth Forum at Edinburgh City Council Chambers, named Erin, 9, gifted the Prince of Wales an Aston Villa poster, since the royal famously supports the team. The conversation then turned to Prince Louis, and who the youngest of William's three children roots for: "My youngest at the moment says he supports five different football teams."

The prince continued to qualify his son's wide-ranging allegiance: 'I have to be careful what I say...My son Louis has started to come out with my friends at school are all supporting this team [sic]. I said you can support who you want, but I do like Aston Villa just to give you a hint.'
Another Aston Villa fan? Louis's older brother, George. We love a family that can get on despite their heated rivalries.
Beyond, soccer football, the royal visit saw Prince William launch a new initiative between his Royal Foundation and Street Soccer Scotland, which will focus on using sports to boost mental health and community engagement.
To that we say, goal!

Daulton Varsho returns for Blue Jays, while concussion sends George Springer to IL
With the trade deadline behind the team, things are moving rapidly for the Toronto Blue Jays in advance of a three-game weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. For starters, outfielder Daulton Varsho has returned from a lengthy 52-game stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain and was activated for Friday's series opener at the Rogers Centre. As well, right-handed reliever Louis Varland — who was acquired just prior to Thursday's Major League Baseball trade deadline — has made it to the downtown dome and will be active for Friday's contest. On the downside, after taking a pitch to the head in Baltimore, George Springer has been diagnosed with a concussion and has been placed on the seven-day injured list, retroactive to July 29. On some levels, it will be a relief for Jays players to have the deadline behind them, knowing that the roster basically is set for the final two months of the regular season. The return of Varsho, a popular teammate and an elite centre fielder, also is a huge injection into the clubhouse and has the possibility of feeling like another trade-deadline acquisition. The Jays certainly will be looking to resume their recent hot run that has seen them sprint out to a 64-46 record and first place in the American League East, 3.5 games ahead of the New York Yankees. Blue Jays make late deal with Twins for reliever Louis Varland and first baseman Ty France Did Blue Jays do enough at trade deadline? It's in Shane Bieber's right hand now General manager Ross Atkins believes the influx of new players at the deadline will fill some needs for the team as they look to cement home-field advantage and a first-round bye for the post-season. The biggest of the deadline acquisitions, right-handed starter Shane Bieber, also made it to Toronto on Friday and had a busy afternoon schedule discussing what his next step will be as he continues to rehab from last year's Tommy John surgery. Also on hand is first baseman Ty France, who came to the Jays with Varland, in the deadline day deal with the Minnesota Twins.

King Charles Not Okay With Prince William & Kate Middleton's New Future Plans, Claims ‘Source'
King Charles is supposedly not okay with Prince William and Kate Middleton's new plans for the future. Recently, there have been reports about the Prince and Princess of Wales considering yet another move after three years at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate. William and Kate are reportedly now eyeing Fort Belvedere in Windsor Great Park. However, according to some new claims, Charles may not be in favor of the next move of the British royal family members. King Charles is not okay with Prince William spending millions on Fort Belvedere renovations, claims 'source' A new report has suggested that King Charles may be in disagreement with Prince William and Kate Middleton's next potential royal move. The Daily Mail mentioned that The Mail on Sunday newspaper exclusively learned from royal sources that the prince and princess are eyeing Fort Belvedere. William and Kate are currently living in Adelaide Cottage, where they moved in 2022. The royal couple is reportedly already considering moving just three years after living there with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, Charles might not be okay with William and Kate's plans. Rob Shuter's exclusive #ShuterScoop report claims that the king is 'fuming' over the cost. A palace source revealed that it will 'take millions to renovate.' They also claimed that 'Charles sees it as an unnecessary extravagance.' The report notes that the king has reportedly been cutting down the budgets across the British royal family. However, William and Kate are now focused on 'privacy' and 'space.' They are seemingly also considering future plans for Prince George. An insider further explained to #ShuterScoop that William and Kate have 'outgrown Adelaide Cottage.' They suggested that Fort Belvedere seemingly has 'all' the factors suitable for the royal couple and their children. The insider said that it has 'history, land, and proximity to Eton.' Meanwhile, the next grand residence that William and Kate are eyeing is infamously connected to King Edward VIII's. The Daily Mail notes that the magnificent mansion is where he signed the papers that sealed his abdication to marry Wallis Simpson.

The History of Princess Diana's Wedding Dress: All About the Designers, the Lost Backup Gown and That Record-breaking Train
When Princess Diana walked down the aisle with King Charles III (then known as the Prince of Wales) in 1981, her extravagant wedding gown solidified her status as a fashion icon — and set trends for years to come: Mariah Carey, who married music executive Tommy Mottola in 1993, tapped Vera Wang to create a wedding dress inspired by Diana's. Ahead, learn about the history behind the iconic gown, including its designers, its cost and where it is today.

David and Elizabeth Emanuel, also known as the Emanuels, designed Princess Diana's wedding dress. She first became fond of the duo after wearing one of their chiffon blouses, which was custom-made for her engagement portrait session. The ruffled pink top recently fetched $381,000 at auction. 'When she saw our blouse on the rack she fell in love with it, asked who had made it and was directed to us,' Elizabeth Emanuel said in her 2006 book, 'A Dress for Diana.' Diana herself selected the Emanuels to design her wedding gown, which, per Elizabeth, 'had to be something that was going to go down in history, but also something that Diana loved' and which would be 'suitably dramatic in order to make an impression.' What is Princess Diana's wedding dress made of? The gown was crafted from ivory silk taffeta and antique Carrickmacross lace, which had previously belonged to Diana's great-grandmother-in-law, Queen Mary. Embroidery, sequins and over 10,000 pearls adorned its waistline, hem and train, which broke royal wedding records with a length of 25 feet. A small blue bow was sewn into the waistband of the gown for Diana's 'something blue,' and an 18-karat gold horseshoe charm was also stitched in for good luck. A Look Back at Princess Diana's Wedding Dress [PHOTOS] View Gallery For 'peace of mind,' the Emanuels designed a second gown for Diana's wedding day. 'At the time we wanted to make absolutely sure that the dress was a surprise,' Elizabeth Emanuel told People in 2011. 'Had the secret of the real dress got out it's possible that Diana would actually have worn this one.' Sketches of the backup gown were first revealed in 2023. Also made from ivory silk taffeta — but without the antique lace — it was embroidered with scalloped details along the hemline and sleeves. Tiny pearls were also sewn onto the bodice. The alternate dress, however, has since vanished. 'It was really just a backup to the original and I don't know where it went. It just disappeared,' Elizabeth Emanuel told Hello! in 2023. How much did Princess Diana's wedding dress cost? At the time of its creation, Diana's gown was worth approximately $114,800. Today, that's equivalent to around $448,500. Where is Princess Diana's wedding dress today? In her will, Diana bequeathed her bespoke gown to her sons, Princes William and Harry. They officially inherited it in 2014, upon the latter's 30th birthday. They've since loaned out the wedding dress for exhibition: in 2021, it was put on display as part of Kensington Palace's show titled 'Royal Style in the Making,' which concluded in 2022. The Legacy of the Wedding Dress To this day, the late Princess of Wales's wedding gown remains a fashion fixture, so much so that the dress became the subject of a documentary in 2025. In June, Britain's Channel 5, a division of Paramount Global, debuted the TV documentary 'Secrets of Diana's Wedding Dress.' The one-hour documentary chronicles the meteoric rise of designers David and Elizabeth Emmanuel from Royal College of Art graduates to the creators of Diana's wedding gown. Along with a spotlight on the Emmanuels, the documentary also highlighted Greek-born Nina Missetzis, who hand-sewed the dress and worked in tandem with the Emmanuels' team of seamstresses. 'Secrets of Diana's Wedding Dress' revealed details about the fittings prior to Charles and Diana's wedding on July 29, 1981, the wedding photos, the late British royal family member's anxieties regarding then-Prince Charles' relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles (now King Charles III's wife of roughly 20 years and the queen consort) and so much more. 'The dress has dominated my life,' Elizabeth Emmanuel said. 'I had wanted to do a documentary like this for many years. There are loads and loads of documentaries about Diana, quite rightly, but this is a story within a story that's never been told, and it's a story of teamwork,' she said.
