William and Kate join children on island nature trail
The Prince and Princess of Wales are spending their second and final day on the Isle of Mull with children taking part in an outdoor learning session with forest rangers.
William and Catherine celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on Tuesday as they began an official visit to the island off the west coast of Scotland.
The royal couple were greeted by more than 200 cheering tourists and local residents who had lined the main street of Tobermory.
Their final day of the mini-tour will focus on the natural world, which Catherine has previously described as her family's "sanctuary".
The Royal Foundation's Community Impact Programme is providing funding to safeguard two nature warden roles on Mull and neighbouring Iona.
The couple joined a group of children for a session on nature trails, den building and animal tracking at Ardura Community Forest.
The visit aims to highlight the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment.
Afterwards, William and Catherine will spend private time on Iona after taking the public ferry from Mull.
The couple released a romantic image on their social media accounts on Tuesday evening to mark their 14th anniversary.
They were married at Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011, when tens of thousands of people lining the streets for their wedding procession to Buckingham Palace.
The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, as they are officially known when in Scotland, met while studying at the University of St Andrews.

Burlington calls on province to address Skyway lane closures
Ministry of Transportation staff said enhanced communication will help inform the public of several weekend lane closures on the Burlington Skyway bridge, expected this summer. But the ministry did not say by deadline if any action will be taken on requests from Burlington's mayor to address local traffic impacts stemming from those closures. 'We've added portable message signs on the medians and additional overhead signs,' ministry spokesperson Tanya Blazina said. 'We have also installed additional ground-mounted signs and detour-route signs to guide travellers to use East Port Drive as an alternate route.' Blazina said an alert banner will be added on the Ontario 511 website and closures will be communicated on the ministry's social media accounts . Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward wrote a letter to Ontario transportation minister Prabmeet Singh Sarkaria , dated May 28, about local impacts of lane closures on the Niagara bound QEW for upgrades to the Skyway Bridge. 'The closure over Mother's Day weekend impacted Burlington significantly,' Meed Ward's letter states. 'The city experienced severe congestion. Residential streets were blocked with bumper-to-bumper traffic. Many of the major corridors were at a standstill. City staff carefully reviewed the traffic over this weekend and concluded that the sole explanation was the Skyway Bridge two-lane closure.' Meed Ward's letter states the ministry provided city staff with a list of proposed upcoming two-lane closures on the Skyway Bridge 'with six weekend closures planned between (May 28) and Labour Day.' The mayor states she appreciates ministry efforts to improve communications, with notices and alerts on overhead highway signage, warning those affected. 'However, my concerns remain about the significant impact these closures will have on Burlington,' Meed Ward states, adding the city anticipates severe local congestion during upcoming lane closures. The mayor requested the ministry: According to Meed Ward's letter, making public the list of planned lane closures will help Burlington residents understand the impact of the closures, and reason for traffic jams on local streets. 'We understand these dates are weather dependent and subject to change. Nevertheless, I ask you to post this list publicly and communicate in advance when there are changes,' Meed Ward states. 'The current communication channels through private correspondence between staff is not transparent and does not promote accountability. Residents are not fully informed, cannot plan their summer strategically and do not understand the root cause of congestion on our roads.' Ministry staff did not respond to questions about the mayor's specific requests by deadline, but noted additional signs warning drivers and directing them to detours. According to ministry staff, ongoing rehabilitation of QEW Niagara bound lanes on the Burlington Skyway bridge includes asphalt and waterproofing removal and replacement, and concrete repairs. Staff said the work is required to extend the bridge's lifespan and improve both pavement condition and lighting. They said two lanes will remain open during closures. Ministry staff did not provide any specific dates for upcoming lane closures. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

Taylor Swift Seen in a Romantic Floral Dress at Dinner in NYC
Taylor Swift has returned to New York City after spending Memorial Day weekend with Travis Kelce in West Palm Beach, Florida. The singer was spotted by some lucky fans arriving at Via Carota in a black floral Dôen dress last night. Anna Majors posted footage of her table's reaction when Swift walked into the restaurant on her Instagram Story. She wrote, 'That face when you're having dinner and Taylor Swift shows up!' Swift carried a Balmain handbag and wore Dôen's Benoit dress, which hasn't sold out yet: This is her second time wearing the brand in the last two weeks. For her Florida dinner date with Kelce, Swift opted for a white poppy two-piece look. Her return to New York comes after a source close to Kelce told People on May 27 that the singer would be staying in Miami 'to support and spend time' with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as he trains for his upcoming NFL season. The insider added that 'Travis still seems very happy with Taylor' nearly two years into dating. Swift has been seen three times this May. In addition to last night's outing, she was spotted out in Philadelphia for a Mother's Day lunch and, again, in West Palm Beach for her date last Friday. Notably, Swift chose floral looks for all of the occasions. Time will tell whether she's just embracing a classic spring trend or dropping Easter egg hints about her next era. Earlier this week, Swift surprised fans when she skipped the American Music Awards amid rumors she'd be announcing Reputation (Taylor's Version) there. Her absence was understandable, however, as the singer didn't win any awards despite having six nominations. She has been largely out of the public eye since the Super Bowl, and sources have been vocal about how much Swift is cherishing the break. An insider told Entertainment Tonight on April 23, 'She and Travis have been laying low, traveling, and enjoying some time off and quiet time together.' Last week, WNBA player Caitlin Clark, who knows both Kelce and Swift, shared a similar insight in an interview, saying '[they're] in vacation mode right now. So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight.'
