On Thursday, the Royal Family met at Westminster Abbey for a service celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, a day to commemorate the end of World War II in Europe. Kate Middleton attended the event in a long-sleeved black and white polka dot dress by designer Alessandra Rich. She completed the look with a black fascinator from Juliette Botterill, a pair of nude pumps from Ralph Lauren, a matching Demellier purse and a pair of earrings that became the highlight of the outfit.
Middleton adorned a family heirloom that belonged to Princess Diana- a pair of Collingwood pearl drop earrings. These earrings had been worn by the princess's mother-in-law multiple times in her life, including with her iconic little black dress.

Inarguably, the most iconic jewel owned by Princess Diana, which Kate received as an heirloom, is the sapphire engagement ring. Created by British jeweller Garrard, the ring was chosen for Prince Charles' proposal to Diana in 1981.
In 2010, Prince William presented the ring to Kate for the same reason. Featuring a 12-carat oval Ceylon surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds, the ring is now Kate's engagement ring and is worn by her on many occasions.

The Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara is a true royal family heirloom, as it was first lent to Princess Diana by her mother-in-law late Queen Elizabeth II. After her death, the tiara was passed down to Kate, who adorned it for the first time for her first state banquet in 2015.
Featuring a romantic design, the tiara is a combination of diamonds and pearls, Diana's favourite gems.

Princess Diana was a fan of pearls for sure. She owned multiple jewellery pieces made of pearls, which also included a three-strand pearl bracelet created by Nigel Milne in 1988. Over the years, Kate has donned the bracelet multiple times, such as during the Germany tour in 2017 and the Caribbean tour in 2022.
Princess Diana's Emerald Choker

Another family heirloom is this emerald choker that originally belonged to Queen Mary but was worn by Princess Diana on numerous occasions. In 2022, Kate attended Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston dressed in a green gown and emerald choker, just like her late mother-in-law.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Age Gap: How many years apart are the NFL star and pop icon?
Exploring the age difference between Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce (Getty Images) In the whirlwind romance between Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop music sensation Taylor Swift , fans and followers have zoomed in on everything — from their fashion choices to public outings. But one detail that continues to intrigue the internet is their age gap. So, how many years apart are the NFL star and the Grammy-winning artist? A closer look at the actual ages and birthdates of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, while Travis Kelce's birthday falls on October 5, 1989. That means they're both part of the same birth year, with just over two months separating them. Yes, despite the ongoing discussions, Travis is only two months older than Taylor. This technically makes them the same age, debunking the perception that there's a significant age gap between them. This tiny age difference, however, hasn't stopped the speculation and chatter from fans online. Whether it's because of their different industries or contrasting public personas, many assumed a much wider age gap existed. But the reality is that their timelines have always been close — both personally and professionally. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (Getty Images) Public reactions and the cultural fascination with age gaps In celebrity culture, age differences often dominate headlines, especially when they stretch across generations. But in Kelce and Swift's case, the irony lies in the fact that people are discussing a gap that barely exists. One fan humorously tweeted, 'Wait... the 'age gap' between Travis and Taylor is two months? That's my cue to log off.' While some joked about the non-issue, others pointed to a broader obsession with celebrity relationships, where fans often create drama out of ordinary facts. Their age parity actually lends them a unique compatibility — both grew up during the same cultural milestones, which possibly strengthens their shared understanding of fame, pressure, and public scrutiny. Though their professions differ vastly — one dominates stadiums on Sundays, the other sells them out on tour nights — Travis and Taylor's near-identical ages may play a role in how easily they relate to one another. They've both spent over a decade in the limelight, growing through highs and lows of global stardom. Also Read: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark fresh buzz with intimate Palm Beach date night amid career milestones In an age when celebrity romances are scrutinized under a microscope, it's refreshing to see two icons connect not because of spectacle, but because of a shared foundation. Their minimal age gap simply underscores how aligned their journeys truly are — more proof that sometimes, love really is about timing.

Kuldeep Yadav engaged to Vanshika; wedding likely in November, confirms coach Kapil Pandey
Indian bowler Kuldeep Yadav got engaged to his childhood friend Vanshika in Lucknow on Wednesday. The couple, who hail from Kanpur, exchanged rings in the presence of close family and friends. Among the guests were cricketer Rinku Singh and his to-be fiancée, MP Priya Saroj. Kapil Pandey, Kuldeep's coach since 2004, tells us, 'They have known each other since they were children but probably became closer after Kuldeep's U-19. Vanshika is a bright girl and was in Melbourne (Australia) for her higher studies.' He also shares the tongue-in-cheek blessing for the couple with us: 'In my aashirwad, I said, 'Yeh Chinaman (left-hand spinner) hai aur tum leg spin dalna aur phir googly daal kar bowled kar dena.'' Kapil says the ceremony was delayed after the Indian Premier League (IPL) was stalled due to Operation Sindoor. He adds, 'The IPL has just ended and the England tour will start soon, so players couldn't join. The wedding will be finalised on an auspicious date, probably in November. A starry turnout is expected.' Priyanka's father Yogender Singh works with Life Insurance Corporation of India. Centrum hotel's owner Sarvesh Goel confirms, 'Yes, this was scheduled to be a big affair but was toned down after the IPL got pushed. As per discussion with Kuldeep's father the wedding will probably be held in Mussoorie probably in November followed by a big reception at our hotel. The date is yet to be locked.' Photos from the engagement ceremony went viral on social media. From her official X handle, Priya Saroj shared: 'A forever in the making — heartfelt congratulations to Kuldeep Bhaiya and Vanshika (sic)!' Kapil reveals that Kuldeep is focused on the Test series and was 'sweating it out till the day before the engagement. Kuldeep is in good form, and we are expecting a good show from him in the upcoming Test series. He did well in the IPL with 15 wickets in 14 matches and wish he carries on from this for Team India in the long format (Test match) of cricket from June 20.'
