Kate Middleton's 'go-to' snack that can help 'slow down ageing' is 53p at ASDA
When it comes to the Royal family, it's often the small details that are most intriguing - including their daily diets. Known for her healthy lifestyle, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is no exception and is often seen reaching for nutrient-rich superfoods when she needs a snack.
The Duchess was recently spotted glowing alongside her husband, Prince William, at a VE Day event at Westminster Abbey. A recent article in HELLO Magazine shed light on the future Queen's dietary preferences, revealing one of her favourite snacks - one that is said to help reduce visible signs of ageing.
It's reported that she favours healthier options like raw fruits over processed sweets, with goji berries being a particular favourite. This fruit, which originates from China, can be enjoyed in various forms - raw, dried, or cooked.

Some people choose to incorporate this potent superfood into smoothies along with other nutritious fruits and vegetables.
A packet of dried goji berries can be purchased from Asda for just £1.50. The 100g pack contains three servings, which works out at roughly 53p per 33g portion, according to CambridgeshireLive, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Kate Middleton is also rumoured to be a fan of 'organic Botox' to maintain her youthful and firm complexion. Michelle Obama's makeup artist, Carl Ray, disclosed in an interview that the Duchess recommended the Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel to the former first lady after trying and loving it herself.

The Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel boasts a combination of moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid, along with concentrated Spilanthol, a plant-based ingredient reputed to have a muscle relaxing effect, as noted by the Liverpool Echo. Crafted in German laboratories, the Biotulin gel pledges to visibly diminish wrinkles within an hour, and it's now slightly more affordable, reduced to £39 from its original price of £44.
A somewhat pricier cream that the Princess of Wales is said to frequently opt for is Rodial's Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Creme. Infused with genuine gold bee venom, it usually sells for £750 but shoppers can currently enjoy an 87% discount, bringing the price down to just £95.
This isn't your average moisturiser. The formula incorporates bee venom (often dubbed as 'nature's Botox'), which tricks the skin into ramping up collagen and elastin production.
The outcome is firmer, more lifted skin, without the need for any injections, as reported by the Express.
Then there's the plant-derived placenta protein, which serves to nourish and rejuvenate weary skin. It's brimming with amino acids and nutrients that promote cell turnover, making it a godsend when your face is looking a bit 'meh' after a taxing week.
Lastly, the ingredient that lends it a regal touch: 24-carat gold. Not only does it sound incredibly opulent, but gold also has legitimate skincare benefits.
It can aid in soothing inflammation, enhancing circulation, and bestowing your skin with a natural glow. Quite literally, a golden glow.
If you're embarking on a pre-summer health kick and are seeking a change from the usual supermarket fruit selection, goji berries might be worth considering. Renowned for their unique sweet and sour flavour, goji berries are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.
Goji berries are thought to be beneficial in slowing down signs of ageing and supporting eye health, with a 2021 study suggesting that their regular consumption could reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration in middle-aged individuals.
These antioxidant-rich superfoods can protect skin cells from age-related damage, potentially improving skin appearance. Healthline states that goji berries are also rich in iron, essential for oxygen transport and red blood cell production.
Goji berries have been credited with lowering cholesterol levels and boosting heart health.
An expert, as referenced in a BBC Good Food article, remarked: "Long term consumption of goji berries has been shown to decrease LDL cholesterol and help in the prevention of cardiovascular disease."
According to research highlighted in the article, the polysaccharides found in goji berries could be key to managing blood pressure and reducing harmful cholesterol, potentially offering protection against heart conditions. Yet, some individuals should exercise caution when eating these crimson fruits.
The potential for goji berries to interact with blood-thinning and diabetes medications exists, and excessive consumption may result in digestive issues or allergic reactions. Being dried fruit, they naturally contain sugar; therefore, those monitoring their blood sugar levels need to be mindful of their goji berry intake.

ANOTHER classic sitcom slapped with woke trigger warning for ‘offensive language and sex references' in ITV crackdown
Another classic sitcom has been slapped with a trigger warning for 'offensive language and sex references' in a crackdown by ITV. Open All Hours ran for four seasons with the BBC between 1976 and 1985 and follows the antics of Arkwright and his young nephew Granville - played by Sir David Jason. The series was created by Roy Clarke, who is the writer behind other legendary English comedies including Keeping Up Appearances and Last of the Summer Wine. It soon became a beloved sitcom and is now available to watch on ITVX, however, the streaming platform has added a content warning to the show. Several episodes all have the following warning, 'Contains language and sex references which may offend some viewers'. The show contains a few cheeky comments including when Albert fakes being ill to receive attention from Nurse Gladys, played by Lynda Baron. According to The Sun, the nurse was described as having a 'tightly packed blouse'. While in series four, Granville, played by Sir David Jason, who was Albert's assistant and nephew, put out a dating ad in the newspaper packed with innuendos. Some episodes also contain the following, 'Contains racial humour and language of the time that may offend'. While Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke agreed with the 'racist language' warning and told The Sun: 'There are things in these shows that society has moved on from, such as racist language.' He blasted the other warning and added: 'But innuendo was and is the backbone and hallmark of some of the best British comedy for generations. 'This type of warning represents everything that has gone wrong in our country.' MailOnline has approached ITV for comment. It comes after ITV sparked outrage earlier this year when it added ' woke ' trigger warnings to a beloved 1970's sitcom. The broadcaster has put a notice on some George & Mildred episodes - saying they contain 'classic British humour from a bygone era'. But, it was ridiculed for the latest example of over-protecting sensitive viewers. In one of the episodes hit with the warning Mildred, played by Yootha Joyce, tries to get their dog Truffles to mate as she wanted it to have 'everything in life that I've never had'. Later in a vet's waiting room, her downtrodden husband George, played by Brian Murphy, discusses their dog's lack of interest in sex. To which his wife replies: 'You don't have to describe it to me.' Despite the show featuring some raunchy references, fans were shocked by the warnings. Free Speech Union founder Toby Young said: 'George and Mildred? Really? What's next? 'The Magic Roundabout on the grounds that viewers with hyperactivity disorder may find the character of Zebedee triggering?' Someone else added: 'It's happening more and more. Was watching George and Mildred just waiting for the funniest bit and ITV cut it out and there was a warning the other day before Only Fools and Horses about out dated language now Midsummer Murders.'

Rebus returns to TV screens in second series
Rebus, the award-winning crime drama based on the books by Sir Ian Rankin and set in Edinburgh, is to return for a second series, the BBC has announced. The new series, written by Gregory Burke, will feature Richard Rankin reprising his role as Detective Sergeant John Rebus. Six hour-long episodes, to be filmed in and around Edinburgh and Glasgow, have been commissioned by the BBC for BBC iPlayer, BBC Scotland and BBC One. The first six-part series from Eleventh Hour Films, launched in full on BBC iPlayer in 2024 and received widespread praise from both critics and audiences. The debut episode attracted 6.3 million viewers across all platforms while last month it scooped three RTS Scotland awards for Best Drama, Writer and Director. Series two will continue to explore Rebus's complex world and the links between violent criminals in the drug trade in Edinburgh and the professional bourgeois world of law and finance. Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning for BBC Scotland said: 'We were blown away with the audience response to the new-look Rebus first time round so bringing it back for a second series was always a priority. 'The combination of brilliant storytelling, powerful performances and top class production values will make this new series must-see television. 'This commission is part of our recently announced strategy to bring more high impact scripted content from Scotland and we're confident audiences will enjoy this next series as much as they did the first.' Paula Cuddy, Executive Producer and Co-CEO at Eleventh Hour Films said: 'After three wins at the RTS Scotland Awards 2025, we couldn't be more thrilled to now share that we are reuniting with Ian Rankin's celebrated Scottish detective, brilliantly portrayed by Richard Rankin, to bring a second series of Rebus to the BBC. 'No doubt it'll pack a punch and there'll be some sardonic Rebus comments along the way. We can't wait.' Ian Rankin, who is an executive producer on the show, said: 'Season one of Rebus ended on a cliffhanger. 'Only screenwriter Gregory Burke knows what happens next. So I'm hugely excited that season two will soon be with us. Rebus is back — mean, moody and as magnificent as ever.' Writer Burke added: 'I'm delighted to be given the chance by the BBC and Eleventh Hour Films to bring Rebus back to the nation's TV screens once more. 'Ian Rankin's character and body of work are the perfect materials with which to explore contemporary Scottish society and the turbulent world that surrounds it.' Rebus is part of a growing list of BBC dramas from Scotland, including Shetland, Vigil, Granite Harbour, The Bombing of Pan Am 103, Half Man and the recently announced Counsels, The Young Team and Grams.
