Prince Philip once saw Bigfoot as he was out walking at Balmoral.
It has been claimed that the late Duke of Edinburgh caught sight of the legendary beast when he and wife Queen Elizabeth were staying at the royal family's summer retreat in Scotland during the 1970s.
Filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee said that a royal source had informed him of the mysterious sighting on the royal estate.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "I had some contact from the Palace there was some sort of Bigfoot at Balmoral that the Duke of Edinburgh saw once.
"This was in the '70s."
'Flash Gordon' actor Brian Blessed previously suggested that both Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were fascinated by the legend of Bigfoot.
Recalling a conversation with Philip about Sasquatch, Blessed said: "Oh yes, he said it's true. It does exist. I told them that they're everywhere."

Did Ed Sheeran just casually confirm his return to Aus?
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has casually confirmed that his much-anticipated return to Australia will take place in early 2026, three years on from his last run of stadium shows. In May, the globetrotting 34-year-old launched The Mathematics Tour in Europe, and has been leaving traces of his travel antics on TikTok as fans beg for the star to appear in their location. Dropping his most recent adventures in Madrid to the platform, the Lego House hitmaker responded to one particular comment regarding his plans to return Down Under.

Ed Sheeran responds to a fan's plea to return to Australia. Credit: Ed Sheeran / TikTok PerthNow reached out to the star's management, who preferred not to double-down on the announcement but hinted at potential news later in the year. 'We aren't in the habit of pre-announcing announcements — but there will be news on our plans for 26 later this summer,' a representative for Sheeran said. Remarkably, the four-time Grammy winner's most recent Australian campaign in 2023 featured an earlier version of The Mathematics Tour — which launched globally in Dublin in April 2022. The former busker's singular Perth gig at Optus Stadium became the highest ticketed event in WA's history, with more than 70,000 fans flooding the precinct to hear his signature sound. Written as '+–=÷×', the same name was given to a compilation album Sheeran released in September 2024, and follows a theme of mathematical numbers and figures from previous works. On social media, the star has been met with encouragement from Aussies as they anticipate his next venture to their country. Pleas of 'Can't wait to see you in Australia' and 'We miss you' are a common theme. Ed Sheeran performed to a packed crowd at Optus Stadium in Perth in 2023.

Releasing tracks Azizam and Old Phone in recent months, the project marks the father of two's eighth studio album. With iconic songs Shape of You, Perfect, and Photograph all boasting in excess of two billion streams respectively on Spotify, Sheeran is the platform's third-most followed global artist with 90 million monthly listeners. The singer has collaborated with the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Beyonce, punctuating his status as a pioneer of the pop genre.

Bono: U2 is a democracy
Bono has described U2 as a "democracy". The 65-year-old rocker has explained how the 'With or Without You' band - which is also comprised of The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. - all chip in with ideas for new music, although it usually the lead guitarist's suggestions that are given preference. Asked how U2 work after more than 40 years in the industry, Bono is quoted by the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper's Wired column as saying: "Bloody democracy. Thom Yorke from Radiohead says, 'A band is like the United Nations, except I'm America.' "But U2 is an actual democracy. We all listen to each other, and then do what Edge says." Bono takes centre stage in the new Apple TV+ documentary film 'Stories of Surrender' - which documents a one-man performance he gave in New York in 2023 - although he doubts that his U2 bandmates are that interested in the project. He said: "I think Larry only likes Westerns, Adam said he liked the moonwalk, so I think perhaps he was looking at a different film. "Edge is always there. He's so supportive, especially when he sees me be open or be vulnerable, which is our definition of art." The Irish musician describes the film as "very intimate" and revealed that he took inspiration from the late Beatles icon John Lennon for the project. Bono explained: "It was always, 'Break open the ribcage, show what's the heart, let it bleed.' "That was the John Lennon way. So it starts with heart surgery." Meanwhile, the singer recently teased that he wants U2 to make "the sound of the future" on their next album. The 'Beautiful Day' artist said on 'Jimmy Kimmel! Live': "We've been in the studio and you've sometimes got to deal with the past to get to the present, in order to make the sound of the future. That's what we want to do." Bono also insisted that U2 continue to be very ambitious despite their long and successful career in music. He said: "It's the sound of four men, who feel like their lives depend on it. I remind them, they do. Nobody needs a new U2 album unless it's an extraordinary one. I'm feeling very strong about it."

Ray Winstone wants to retire to Italy
Ray Winstone wants to move to Italy full-time. The 'Sexy Beast' star, 68, has been spending more time in Sicily in recent years and hopes to make the island his permanent home so he can enjoy a life in the sunshine with his wife Elaine, but he's still going "backwards and forwards" to the UK because he wants to spend time with his kids and his grandchildren as they are growing up. Ray told the Daily Star: "I'm backwards and forwards from here to Sicily. My family is here in England; my kids are here. "But when we get a chance me and Elaine have a little scoot. I'm 68 now, I want to rest in the sun … I'm getting old ain't I." Ray hasn't given up acting work entirely and has several projects coming up because he needs to "pay the rent". He added: "Sometimes you have to do a job to pay the rent. But I've read three really good ones [scripts] lately and if they come off I'll be very happy. You know when you read them, it's not a question of turning them down, it's thank you, I'm not interested. "But then there's other times when you read something you're not quite sure about but you need to pay the rent, so you will go and do that, you have to do that. "It's part and parcel of it; the taxman needs to be paid. B******! But there you go." One of Ray's upcoming projects is a TV series set in London in the 1970s which he's working on with the team behind hit movie 'The Departed'. In an interview with iFL TV, he spilled: 'I'm working on something with an old mate of mine; we worked together years ago on 'The Departed'. " We've put together a series about London from the '70s, all the way through up to today." Before Ray starts filming that he is reprising his role as Bobby Glass in Guy Ritchie's Netflix crime drama 'The Gentlemen', which also stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario. Production on the follow-up series has begun and Ray is looking forward to getting stuck into his scenes after enjoying a break from acting. He said: 'I'm looking forward to getting back into the graft. Bobby Glass is back. I'm still in the prison, still nicked, but that's the best place for him. 'It's nice because I can come in and out and that way my daughter runs the business. It's a good dynamic. "I've got three scripts. I think we're moving into the legalisation of cannabis and all that stuff. "To be honest, I haven't seen the rest of the script so I don't know where the journey goes. In a way, it's a good thing. I don't mind that with this, because some of it is all over the place. "And then Guy edits it and puts it all together and it becomes a story. It kind of worked that way last time."
