Kate debuts new hair as she celebrates wedding anniversary with Prince William in Scotland
IN LONDON
The Princess of Wales has debuted a new hairstyle as she marked her 14th wedding anniversary with a trip to Scotland with Prince William.
Kate has been known for her trademark long, dark hair for years, but has now opted for a lighter, honey-brown hue as the northern hemisphere summer approaches.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2011 at Westminster Abbey, are currently on a two-day visit to the Isle of Mull, off the country's west coast.
The whistlestop tour will see them meet with local craftspeople, farmers and residents and help highlight the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment.
For their overnight stay, William and Kate are staying in a self-catering cottage, where it's expected they'll celebrate their special occasion privately.
The pair actually first met in Scotland, while they were classmates at the University of St Andrew's in Fife back in 2001.
They soon began dating, and wed on April 29, 2011, in a lavish royal event watched by an estimated billion people around the world.
Meanwhile, their Scottish getaway this week marks Kate's first overnight tour since her cancer diagnosis early last year.
She stepped back from royal duties after going public with her difficult news, undergoing chemotherapy for several months before announcing she had completed treatment in September.
Earlier this year, Kate revealed she is now in remission, and is continuing her gradual return to public life.

Prince William's ‘deep connection' with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, revealed after joint engagement
Prince William has reportedly forged a "deep connection" with his aunt Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, following multiple health crises in the royal family and attacks from the Sussexes. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh, who are among the United Kingdom's most popular royals, made a rare joint appearance in Cornwall on Friday. It is understood that the Wales and Edinburgh families are close, with Sophie and Edward 'stepping up' to help William during Catherine's cancer treatment. According to body language expert Darren Stanton, William and Sophie's joint appearance conveyed natural chemistry and a close bond. 'In terms of William and Sophie's dynamic, they get on really well and it's clear that it's not for the cameras,' Mr Stanton told on Tuesday on behalf of Betfair Casino. 'With William and Sophie, their whole demeanours are completely consistent with two people who are genuinely enjoying each other's company and having a good laugh.' In some respects, Sophie represents a bridge between older members of the family, like King Charles III, and the upcoming generation of royals headed by William. At 60, Sophie is almost equally half way in age between her nephew William, 42, and her brother-in-law Charles, 76. Sophie, like Princess Catherine, also came from a regular middle class background before marrying Queen Elizabeth II's youngest son at age 34 in 1999. 'Overall, it's clear that the pair have a deep connection and strong rapport,' Mr Stanton said. 'It's quite rare that William and Sophie take on engagements together, but this one really shows the depth of their friendship - they genuinely seem to get on well. 'There's matching and mirroring between them, shared humour, and no signs of awkwardness.' The expert believes the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh are a 'true' representation of the current slimmed-down monarchy. 'I think this is a really good and true representation of the current monarchy, as they're not afraid to show their true selves in public and have their guards down to an extent, taking it all in and enjoying the day,' he said. 'William and Sophie both seem genuinely happy and appear to be a strong duo together.' Although Sophie has been a full-time working royal for over two decades, the Duchess has taken on a noticeably larger workload in recent years after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'stepped back' from being working royals. The number of working royals has fallen further after Prince Andrew's military titles and royal patronages were stripped of him in disgrace, and Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022. The Wales and Edinburgh clans have also both weathered unsubstantiated attacks by the Sussexes' unofficial hagiographer Omid Scobie in his book Endgame. In Endgame, Scobie alleged that Catherine was the 'racist royal' who inquired about Prince Archie's skin colour and labelled William 'power hungry'. In another passage, Scobie slammed the Duchess of Edinburgh as 'tin-eared' or 'casually bigoted' about race after Sophie said she never saw the Sussexes' interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Snoop Dogg wants soccer stadium burger stand
Snoop Dogg wants to open a burger stand at Celtic Park. The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker has been a fan of Scottish side Celtic for over two decades and not only does he want to bring his own food outlet to their stadium, he'd be hands-on and personally serve the meals to fans. He told Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper: 'There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case. 'People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it. "The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' The 53-year-old star has no interest in offering his food to Celtic's great rivals rangers. He said: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!' However, Snoop has previously admitted he'd love to open a restauranr in Glasgow with chef Gordon Ramsay, who is a Rangers fan. He said: 'I have told him I want to open a restaurant with him and maybe it might even be in Glasgow. 'For real – we are always swapping cooking tips and I do mean swapping. 'It's not just one way traffic, I send him tips as well – he respects Snoop as chef. 'My boy Gordon has got a worse mouth than me but that's only because of his passion." Snoop revealed back in 2012 that he wanted to buy shares in Celtic after watching the Parkhead side beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November that year. At the time he said: "I got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams...I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell...I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things."

Prince William calls for action to protect oceans
Prince William has called on world leaders and businesses to take urgent action to protect the planet's oceans, saying it was a challenge "like none we have faced before". Speaking ahead of the United Nations Ocean Conference, which begins in France on Monday, William said rising sea temperatures, plastic pollution and overfishing were putting pressure on fragile ecosystems and the people who depend on them. "What once seemed an abundant resource is diminishing before our eyes," William, heir to the British throne, told the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco. "Put simply: the ocean is under enormous threat but it can revive itself. But, only if together, we act now," he told the meeting of investors and policy makers. This week's UN conference aims to get more countries to ratify a treaty on protecting ocean biodiversity which currently lacks sufficient signatories to come into force. William addressed Sunday's gathering in his role as founder of the Earthshot Prize, launched by the prince in 2020 with the aim of making huge strides to tackle environmental problems within a decade. On Saturday, William's office released a video of him talking to David Attenborough, one of the world's best-known nature broadcasters, about his latest documentary Ocean which examines the plight of the seas. "The thing which I am appalled by, when I first saw the shots that were taken for this film are what we have done to the deep ocean floor," Attenborough told him. "If you did anything remotely like it on land, everybody would be up in arms."
