Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Twin In Aquamarine For Trooping the Colour

Princess Charlotte was every bit Kate Middleton's mini-me at this year's Trooping the Colour celebration.
The mother-daughter duo matched in bright aquamarine hues for the annual event, which honors the reigning monarch's birthday with a grand display of military pageantry.
While Charlotte often coordinates her look with her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, for royal outings, this time she took a cue from her mother's signature flair for a standout sartorial moment and opted to mirror her fashion rather than her siblings'.
For the parade, which traditionally sees members of the royal family arrive in horse-drawn carriages, the Princess of Wales wore a striking blue-green and ivory coatdress by Catherine Walker. Ever the fan of a good accessory, she completed the look with a wide-brimmed Juliette Botterill hat topped with a sculptural flower, the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, and drop pearl earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth.
She paired her ensemble with nude pointed-toe pumps that grounded her outfit.
Charlotte echoed her mother's palette in a light aqua dress featuring a crisp white bow at the waist, which matched the ribbon tied into her signature braided half-up, half-down hairstyle.
Following in her mom's footsteps, she finished her look with classic white ballet flats.
Trooping the Colour, which is also known as the King's Birthday Parade, is a tradition that dates back to King George III in the 18th century. Though King Charles won't turn 77 until November 14, the June ceremony serves as the sovereign's official birthday celebration every year.

Prince William receives heartfelt Father's Day tribute from his children
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have marked Father's Day with a touching message for their dad, Prince William. In a social media post shared on Sunday, two new photographs were released showing the Prince of Wales with his three children. The images, taken earlier this year in Norfolk by photographer Josh Shinner, capture candid moments between the future king and his young family. The post was accompanied by a sweet handwritten-style caption that read: 'Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L'. It ends with a heart emoji. The images offer an intimate glimpse into the family's close bond and were shared as part of the royal family's celebration of Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you! G, C & L 💖 📸 Josh Shinner — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 15, 2025 It comes a day after George, 11, Louis, seven, and their sister Charlotte, 10, joined their parents and other members of the royal family for the Trooping the Colour ceremony. George was been seen nudging his boisterous younger brother Louis to wave more calmly at the crowd following a military parade to celebrate the King's official birthday. The children watched a flypast of military aircraft from the balcony of Buckingham Palace with their grandfather, the King, the Queen, and their parents. Louis, wearing a red tie and dark suit that matched his brother's, began enthusiastically waving at the crowd, drawing big cheers from those standing in the Mall to watch the Red Arrows fly overhead. He briefly stopped to turn around and address his father, then continued to wave and grin until George gently nudged him to stop by touching his arm. But the youngest prince could not resist giving the crowd one last wave as his family retreated into Buckingham Palace after the flypast ended. The children had ridden to Horse Guards Parade with their mother and sister in a carriage earlier in the day to watch the troops. Boisterous Louis has become known for entertaining royal fans with his reactions during royal events. During VE Day celebrations earlier this year, the young prince appeared to playfully imitate George as the siblings watched the military procession from the Queen Victoria Memorial. Louis seemed to copy the way his brother flicked his hair, then smoothed down his own in an exaggerated fashion. He similarly stole the limelight at last year's Trooping the Colour ceremony, yawning and later dancing during the quick march of the Scots Guards to Highland Laddie. During the 2023 Trooping the Colour parade, Louis, then aged five, ostensibly held his nose to possibly ward off the smell of horse manure from the many military mounts. He was also seen yawning and fidgeting during the service for his grandfather's coronation at Westminster Abbey in May 2023.

Titanic antique shop to shut after 50 years
In the heart of the city where the Titanic set sail from on its maiden voyage to New York, the owner of an antique shop is dusting off the cobwebs from its contents for one of the last times. Peter Boyd-Smith, 78, opened the store on Northam Road in Southampton, Hampshire, 50 years ago and will stop trading in August. Cobwebs has specialised in selling and trading ocean liner memorabilia since it opened in June 1975. Mr Boyd-Smith told the BBC the shop had created many opportunities for him, including working on the Titanic blockbuster film. Not only have RMS Titanic antiques featured in the shop, items from the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and QEII have also passed through. Mr Boyd-Smith said getting involved with Titanic memorabilia was a coincidence. "There was an auction in Liverpool and they were selling pieces from the Olympic, which was the Titanic's sister ship, and then people just started bringing stuff in," he said. "People would come in with something and would say 'this belonged to my great uncle and it came off the ship'. "The ship was in for a week and during that time people went onboard and took souvenirs, from menus and deck plans to china." In 1994, Mr Boyd-Smith published a book about the Titanic and some of the memorabilia that has passed through Cobwebs, which he said led to him working with the team on James Cameron's 1997 film. "I had a phone call from a guy and he said 'I'm Peter Lamont, I'm the producer of the James Bond films and I'm working on a film in America'," he said. "He couldn't say what it was but he asked 'would I be able to help? It's connected with Titanic'. I said 'yes!'." Mr Boyd-Smith said he had a chair from Titanic in the shop, which had been taken off and restored. "That was used in one of the principle restaurant scenes," he said. "This is the days before the internet, so we were getting faxes every single day for the best part of five, six months from the props department in California." While researching for his book, Mr Boyd-Smith said he discovered some of his grandparents' friends had died in the disaster. "When I was about 10, I found a postcard of the Titanic in one of my grandparents' postcards albums and I asked my granny what it was," he said. "She said 'it was the Titanic, we will never ever talk about it' and I didn't think anything of it. "When I was going through the book [later] I realised they had lost some of their friends on the Titanic." You can follow BBC Hampshire & Isle of Wight on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.
