Princess Anne Repeats One of Her Favorite Outfits for Easter Services
Princess Anne has long been the queen of royal rewears, and Easter 2025 was no different.
For Easter Mattins services at St. George's Chapel in Windsor today, the Princess Royal opted for a green printed coat she has worn on at least five other occasions, including to the Cheltenham Festival in 2012 and 2020, presenting medals to troops in 2013, Christmas Day 2016, and Commonwealth Day in 2023.

For Easter, Princess Anne even styled the coat like she has over the past decade of wearing it, which includes slouchy black boots, a matching hat, and a brooch pinned to the lapel. Her brooch of choice today was also one that she's worn on numerous occasions: The golden ribbon brooch has been in her jewelry box since the 1960s, and she's frequently worn it on Easter, according to the Court Jeweller.
The princess was joined at Easter Sunday services today by her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence. They arrived with her brother, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York; it was a rare appearance for Andrew with the royals following a series of scandals including his connections to an alleged Chinese spy. Despite attending in years past, neither of Princess Anne's children Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall were among the royals in Windsor today, nor were her five grandchildren.
It's a busy week coming up for the Princess Royal; she is set to undertake an official visit to Turkey on April 24 and 25 to attend commemorations of the 110th Anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign on behalf of her brother King Charles. While in Turkey, in her role as President of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, she will also visit to the grave of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Doughty-Wylie. On her trip, she will be joined by her husband Vice Admiral Laurence.

Your ‘Interview With the Vampire' tattoos humble (and horrify) showrunner Rolin Jones
Be who you want to be and be that thing for all eternity. Be everything you want to be and be that thing for all eternity. Be all the beautiful things you are and be them without apology, for all eternity. These are three iterations of the same line from various drafts of the pilot episode for AMC's 'Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire.' And there's probably a perfectly fine 800-word essay one could write about the little journey Anne's desperate line of seduction made along its way to television immortality. Except Anne Rice didn't write that particular line of 'Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire.' I did. And were you going to just blow past the words 'television immortality' and move on to the next sentence? 'Cause, yeah, that's quite the boast coming from a writer who almost certainly got this gig because Mike White or Quinta Brunson turned it down. Well, it's a fact. And I know it's a fact, because recently, while dragging my knuckles through writing Season 3 of this same show, it was brought to my attention that several people sharing our planet have tattooed the third iteration of that line onto their bodies. And this is the weirdness I'd like to share with you today. My first reaction to seeing internet photos of the physical evidence was, 'Well, that must be fake.' When I saw a second photo of the line on a second body (different body part, more modern font), I heard myself mutter, 'Oh, dear.' I followed that quickly with a performative 'why' and twice a week ever since, when I remember these horrors have occurred, I stop what I'm doing and consider tracking down these souls and offering them money for ink-removal sessions. In these reveries, I tell Those Who Have Been Inked my concerns. I tell them about the guy I once saw at Casey's Tavern in Woodland Hills with a Where's the Beef tattoo. How friendless he seemed nursing his can of Hamm's underneath the No Swearing reminder. I tell them to consider the inevitable moment many years from now (after the robots have enslaved us all) when they are staring at their betraying flesh in the bathroom mirror, deciphering the lateral backward words, 'Be all the beautiful things you are and be them without apology, for all eternity' and shouting back, 'I DID! AND LOOK WHAT F— HAPPENED!' The reveries always end poorly, usually with me shouting something like 'Your body is a miracle!' and their owner robot escorting me off its property. Speaking of robots, when you type the line B.A.T.B.T.Y.A. (451 words so far, people), Google's Generative AI search spits this out. 'The phrase is often attributed to the character Lestat de Lioncourt from the Anne Rice's 'Interview With the Vampire.'' The grammar-challenged robot continues: 'The phrase resonates because it speaks to the universal human desire for authenticity and self-acceptance. It suggests that true beauty comes not from conformity or striving to be someone else, but from embracing one's own unique essences, even it's imperfect or unconventional.' Really? I wrote it and I'm not sure I believe all that. Of course, I'm what the biz calls one of those 'given-circumstance hacks.' And when I think back to the salad days of COVID-19, when I was massaging the line, I think I was mostly trying to figure out how vampire Lestat de Lioncourt could get himself out of the two-murdered-priests hole he had dug himself in with the mortal Louis de Pointe Du Lac. Make him feel seen. The kids love that sentiment. Oh yeah, maybe cast a very attractive Australian with a voice that sounds like what a Hästens mattress would sound like. Just get it to Episode 2. No one's tattooing this on their body. Except they did. And as I type (655 words in, you're almost there, stay strong), I have now seen three separate tattoo photos with this line of text inked on flesh along with several other photos of different lines or images from our show on other parental-saddening torsos. And yeah, it fills me with horror. But it's also quite humbling. These beautifully unwell fans we have, they've taken the thing we wrote (from Anne's lovely novels) and made it a permanent part of their lives. They carry the words with them wherever they go. These are generally young people doing this. And more than the horror or the humility, or the primal fear of servitude to robot overlords, they remind me of when I was young. When I loved things with that kind of intensity. Mike and Quinta, enjoy your Emmys. I have two arms and a thigh.

Toddler Parenting Trends Parents Are Sick Of
Parenting in the age of social media is a unique beast. Between information overload and influencer overwhelm, there's a fervor for particular trends or products that can be A Lot. Recently, Reddit user ActualEmu1251 shared the toddler parenting trends they've HAD it with, and they made some points. Here's what they had to say: ActualEmu1251 also asked other parents what trends they're so done with, and even more points were made: "The 'holiday baskets' for every single holiday like Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, July 4…Like, your child does not need a new book and holiday t-shirt and toy every time there is a special day!" "Over-the-top, elaborate birthday parties. No, I am not going to make a balloon arch or rent a bouncy castle or have a snack table with an array of different colored matching desserts and an original cocktail named after my child." "The gift opening at parties drives me nuts! It just makes all the other kids jealous that they can't play with all the stuff at the party." "Sad beige/grey/'pastel' toys and clothes for babies and toddlers because parents want their homes to look cute on social media instead of letting their kids enjoy color." "Not saying 'good job/well done' to kids and instead saying stuff like 'you really worked hard at that'." "I used to think wooden toys were cute and fancy, and now I just think of how dangerous they can be when turned into projectiles." "I hate the whole Montessori toddler thing, like please don't show me a video about how my 3-year-old should have a whole functional miniature kitchen so she can cook eggs by herself. I can just cook her eggs for her. She's 3." "Why do I need to create fake mud with cereal when we have real mud, grass, stones, etc., outside for free?" "Someone telling you, 'you only get 18 summers with them' when every day feels like 12 days and every year feels like a century." "I hate being called 'mama' by anyone but my child. Hate." "I kept trying to get into a toy rotation habit and then realized that I don't care to spend my energy making sure my kid is excited about his toys. Some get naturally kind of hidden or put away for a while, and then he's happy to see them again, but I truly don't care if he's bored with them — he can go find something else to do in that case. I don't need to curate a selection of toys every week." "The mommy wine culture and promoting the idea that there is no other way to relax and that you need to drink excessively to parent your children." "I hate how boy clothes have essentially two vibes as they get older, sad beige baby or sport mode (black and other primary colors). It takes so much effort to dress a boy in bright colors." "The gendered everything! I'm not super hippy dippy or anything, but mine was never into astronauts, monster trucks, dinosaurs, etc., at all, but somehow it seemed like we had no choice but to buy items with these printed on them. And the fact that everything still has to be either bright blue or pink in this day and age. Just annoying." "Feeling like I have to research everything to death to find 'the best'. Last summer I spent WEEKS trying to find a sunscreen that was 'clean', reef-safe, etc. and not horrifically expensive. This summer I bought the Banana Boat 360 because I'm not wrestling my toddler every time we want to go in the sun to spread mineral goo all over his body and then ultimately have to scrub the excess off in the bath that night. I spray him, use a makeup brush to put some Up&Up brand mineral lotion on his face, and we go out. End of story." "Consultants. On any possible topic. Sleep consultant, potty training consultant, weaning consultant, lactation consultant, first bath consultant, you name it! This whole industry feels predatory. They make moms/dads feel incapable of parenting mostly through social media, just to monetize all these services." "I've seen moms on Instagram put makeup on their toddlers (I'm not talking makeup for pageants) like blush, eyelash extensions and tinted gloss." "Exploiting children on social media for likes, attention and/or $$$." Do you agree with being done with these trends? What parenting trends have you absolutely had it with?

Wife of Last Sibling of World's First Surviving Male Quadruplets Remembers Him as ‘Wonderful Family Man' (Exclusive)
Carl Vincent Perricone Sr., the last surviving brother of a history-making set of quadruplets, died on June 2 Anne, his wife of 58 years, remembered the father of six as 'a wonderful family man' Carl would still ride on his lawnmower at the age of 95 and enjoy quality time with his wife on their porchThe wife of Carl Vincent Perricone Sr., the last surviving sibling of a history-making set of quadruplets who recently died, is cherishing her memories with him. 'He was a wonderful family man,' Anne Perricone, 77, exclusively tells PEOPLE of Carl, who died on June 2 at the age of 95. Anne said their journey began when he was a father of five and a widower at 27 after his first wife tragically died following rheumatic fever. They met when she lived across the street and cared for his children. 'I babysat the children and fell in love with the children and him,' Anne says. They would go on to marry, have a daughter, and remain committed to each other for 58 years. They would have celebrated their 59th anniversary in August, most likely partaking in a familiar pastime. 'Oh gosh. He always brought me out there, glass of wine to have an afternoon on the porch,' she says. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Five years ago, Anne says she and Carl moved to their daughter's home, and the longtime couple 'enjoyed sitting out here watching the birds. He loved watching the birds. He has a bird feeder out there watching the birds and the animals.' His valor as a father and husband also extended to his service to his country alongside his brothers Anthony, Bernard, and Donald Perricone, affectionately known as the Alphabet Quads. They were born in Beaumont, Texas, on Halloween in 1929 to Maria Concetta "Bessie" Mazzu and Philip 'Filippo' Perricone. They were the first surviving male quadruplets in the world, according to the Museum of the Gulf Coast. Their births made headlines, and so did their decision to be drafted into the Army in 1950 during the Korean War. The mother of the quads contacted then-Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson with the insistence, ' 'You can't just take one of my boys. They've always been together,' ' Anna says. The brothers ultimately served in the same unit. 'He was proud of his service,' she says, continuing that he also served in the Air Force. Upon returning home in 1953, the brothers worked together at Pure Oil Refinery before Anthony decided to become a barber. Carl and his two brothers remained at the company until retirement, according to the museum. The quadruplets eventually bought a parcel of land in their hometown and dubbed the private road Quad Lane, where their descendants still live. In 2010, Carl represented himself, his brothers and his country at a ceremony in South Korea commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, per the museum. Despite his strong bond with his brothers, Carl did not always want to be associated with being part of the famed quad. 'They were so publicly displayed for so long. He got tired of all that. He did grant an interview probably about seven years ago after Donald died. Yeah, it's been longer than that, my daughter said. But anyway, we kind of just backed away from it,' she recalls, but he ultimately granted an interview with The Beaumont Enterprise in 2013. She continues, 'We all sat down with the people in the living room and he just told them about missing his brothers.' The news of his death led to an outpouring of condolences, but Anne says that he was 'very healthy,' and that 'no one could believe' he was 95. 'He would walk out here and go ride his lawnmower and cut grass and he was very healthy. But in the last few months, I guess I'd say he took a couple stumbles up here. He didn't break anything or he hit his head on the porch one time, but he was pretty stable with his feet,' she says. is now available in the Apple App Store!

Carl's obituary said that he "enjoyed country life in his final years, watching wildlife and smoking his pipe, and Anne added that their last days together were spent "together up here in the peace.' In addition to Anne, Carl is also survived by his six children and multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Read the original article on People
