Prince William and Kate's Mull anniversary trip day two as they meet with local schoolchildren
Prince William and Kate Middleton are continuing their Scottish anniversary adventure on the Isle of Mull.
The future King and Queen are marking 14 years married by exploring the island and honouring rural communities and kicked off their second day in Mull by engaging with nature.
They met with countryside rangers from the Mull and Iona Ranger Service at the Ardura Community Forest on Wednesday morning to highlight the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment.
The Community Forest regularly partner with local primary schools to ensure that every child on the islands get the opportunity to experience the beautiful natural environment around them.
In pictures from the meeting, Kate beams with glee whilst dressed casually in jeans, boots and a blazer as the royal couple spent the second day on the island with schoolchildren taking part in an outdoor learning session tracking animals and building dens.
In other snaps Kate is seen talking to the children during the session and even giving one young girl a high five.
Kate also appears to be showing off a new hair-do as her luscious brown locks seem to have some new caramel highlights.
Yesterday, William and Kate celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on the island and to mark the occasion they released a sweet snap on their social media accounts.
The pair were pictured with their arms around each other facing out to sea on the shoreline.
The picture was posted on the couple's official social media accounts with a heart emoji and signed with their initials. It said: 'Wonderful to be back on the Isle of Mull. Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome W & C.'
The couple are thought to be staying in a self-catering cottage on the island and on Monday, they signalled their excitement to be visiting Mull with an official post on their Instagram page which read: "Looking forward to arriving in Mull tomorrow for two days celebrating and connecting with rural island communities in the beautiful Inner Hebrides."
Having been together for over two decades, William and Kate's love story began at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. Their friendship blossomed into romance, leading to their grand nuptials at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, where the aisle of the iconic Gothic church was adorned with trees.
The couple welcomed their first child, Prince George, in 2013, followed by Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018. Despite Kate's battle with cancer, their bond remains unbroken.
William shares a unique connection with the Isle of Mull, as it forms part of the lands once governed by the Lord of the Isles, one of several Scottish titles he inherited from his father when Charles ascended the throne.

Prince William and Princess Sophie wow crowds as they team up for rare Royal double act
Sophie has been touted as the Royal Family's 'secret weapon' SHARE TO THE THRONE Prince William and Princess Sophie wow crowds as they team up for rare Royal double act Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE William and his aunt Sophie teamed up yesterday in a rare royal double act. They toasted each other with gin during a joint engagement at the Royal Cornwall Show — and she proved to be a tonic by helping out with the heir to the throne's duties.

When he was offered a Rattler cider, Wills, 42, quipped: 'Everyone remembers their first Rattler. You don't remember your last.' He pretended to turn his nose up at the zero per cent alcohol option he was initially offered and asked for the proper stuff. At a gin stand, Wills joked he could 'see what today's going to be like' and also teased Sophie. They had been taken into a food and drinks tent, where Sophie was also seen happily chatting to a mother and baby about local produce. They went first to a chutney stand and then to the gin stall as William said: 'We've come from the chutneys straight into booze.' They were shown several gins before each were given one to try. He caught the Duchess going for another sip and joked to her: 'She said, 'You're not allowed to finish it'. You've got to watch her.' Sophie, 60, responded: 'He's learnt from the best.' Wills joked back: 'I've been caught out with whisky a few too many times. Desperate Harry & Meghan jump from idea to idea, only William & Kate have true clout "I think I can do that and then, 'Oh no I couldn't'.' The pair were also given a traditional Cornish pasty by Ann's Pasties. They then moved to the Healeys Cyder Farm stand, where William said: 'Look at the Rattler selection. Ah, definitely I'm happy about that.' Head of hospitality Laura Clerehugh, 36, said: 'I was going to say, you've had a Rattler.' William responded: 'Everyone remembers where they were when they had their first Rattler, I can tell you that.' He then laughingly agreed that you don't remember your last. Wills then asked about the 'zero' on the bottle, and when told that it meant zero alcohol he put the cup down and said: 'Oh no, no, no. I need original. Someone bring out the big guns.' Sources said the day was a huge success. Sophie has been touted as the Royal Family's 'secret weapon' thanks to her unwavering support for the monarchy and dedication to charities. She was ranked the fourth hardest working royal of last year, having carried out 257 engagements. Her welcome contribution comes at a difficult time for the Royal Family. They were rocked last year when the King and the Princess of Wales were diagnosed with cancer. Charles continues to receive treatment, while Kate announced earlier this year that she was in remission. The King had a blast yesterday as he fired an artillery piece on a visit to the Royal Regiment of Artillery at Larkhill, Wiltshire.

Kylie Jenner teases construction work at mansion as she shows messages on walls
Kylie Jenner gave a glimpse at construction work that is underway at a house this week, with the photos believed to show inside one of her own properties in California Reality TV star Kylie Jenner gave a glimpse at construction work underway at a house this week. She hinted that it's taking place at one of her properties in a series of posts that she shared with fans on social media earlier. Kylie, 27, is said to live in a $36 million - roughly £27 million - mansion in Los Angeles. It's previously been suggested that the Kardashians star's property portfolio also includes an estate in a different area, with her having reportedly been building another home there after buying the land for $15 million - approximately £11 million - five years ago in 2020. The entrepreneur shared an update about a property with her followers on Instagram earlier today. Kylie posted a series of photos on the platform that appeared to show construction work underway at an undisclosed house. The first of the photos showed an unfinished archway over a staircase, with the entire structure made of wood. Wiring was seen on the walls and apparent electrical outlets in the process of being constructed were also visible nearby. Some writing was seen above the two outlets, with both instances accompanied by a question mark. It appeared to resemble the word 'sconce' - which is a fixture that can be attached to a wall to hold candles or other lighting. Another photo shared by Kylie showed comments written in black pen on a piece of wood elsewhere. Part of the message read: "We love you Kylie." Above two hearts, it seemed to continue: "God is here." It's unclear who wrote it. The final photo instead featured the first name of Kylie's daughter Stormi, 7, written in green pen beneath a drawing on a wall. Stormi is the eldest of the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians ' two children with her former partner Travis Scott, 34, with them also parents to Aire, 3, together. Kylie didn't provide a caption on any of the three posts that she shared with her followers on her Instagram Story earlier. It remains unknown where the photos were taken. The US Sun suggests that it shows work underway at the property she's reportedly building, rather than her current home. The photos are the latest insight into Kylie's life after she shared previous updates on the platform just days ago. Earlier this week, she uploaded a series of other photos and wrote in the accompanying caption: "My week on [film emoji]." Stormi and Aire featured in the post, as did pals including Hailey Bieber, 28, and Kylie's sister Kendall Jenner, 29. Some of the photos showed Kylie herself, with her seen beaming as she looked towards the camera in one of them. Many fans shared their excitement over the post, with one writing at the time: "My heart is smiling. Beautiful beautiful!" Others instead expressed disappointment that her partner Timothée Chalamet wasn't in any of the photos, despite Kylie sharing photos from time they spent together. One fan said: "Post the pictures with Timothee alreadyyyyyy."
