Princess Charlotte, 10, breaks from tradition with sweet make-up nod to Diana
Princess Charlotte has made a sweet reference to her grandmother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, at Wimbledon. The royal box at Wimbledon hosted Prince William, Princess Kate and their eldest two children at the men's singles final this afternoon. They were among the guests at Centre Court for the final day of the tennis tournament.
Prince William and Princess Kate, both 43, were seated on the front row of the box on Centre Court with Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, earlier. They then watched as reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz competed against rival tennis player Jannik Sinner for the title.
The family were spotted at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Princess Charlotte, who is third in line to the British throne, has attracted some attention over her choice of makeup, with her nails having been painted pink ahead of the visit.
Her choice of nail polish was on display at times as she watched matches on the court, including when Princess Charlotte covered her mouth. The colour was also visible when she held a fan amid the heatwave this weekend.
Princess Charlotte's bright nails could be seen as her breaking from tradition, given previous speculation, though that doesn't appear to be the case. There's been speculation over the years that members of the Royal Family are encouraged to wear neutral colours and pale shades.
Commentators have shared their thoughts on the situation in the past. Richard Fitzwilliams once told MailOnline: "[They] are encouraged to use neutral, understated colours for their nails."
It's been described as a "rule" and a "protocol" in the past, though it's thought that there isn't actually a ban or a formal rule on any colour or shade of nail polish. Princess Charlotte's mother, Princess Kate, has herself opted for bold colours on occasion, for example, and pink isn't thought to be prohibited either.
Queen Elizabeth was said to have worn one shade of pink nail polish for over 30 years. The late monarch reportedly favoured the brand Essie's Ballet Slippers shade after first wearing the colour, described as "pale pink", since 1989.
The choice of colour by Princess Charlotte could be seen as a tribute to her late grandmother, Diana, who had been known to sport pink outfits. Pink was her "favourite" colour, according to the likes of British Vogue.
The exhibition Princess Diana: Accredited Access, which had been on display in London last year, suggested similarly in a post shared on social media in 2023. Alongside photos of Princess Diana in pink, it described the colour as "nurturing".
The post shared by the exhibition on Instagram read: "Princess Diana's favourite color was … PINK! Pink is a nurturing, playful, and nostalgic color that takes people back to their childhoods and can also represent universal love and friendship."

John Torode sacked from MasterChef after racist language allegation
It has been announced that John Torode will not be returning to MasterChef. This week, it emerged that Torode had been accused of using racist language in the review regarding his former co-host, Gregg Wallace. The BBC and MasterChef production company Banijay UK have now confirmed that his contract with the cooking series will not be renewed. A Banijay spokesperson said: 'In response to John Torode's statement, it is important to stress that Banijay UK takes this matter incredibly seriously. 'The legal team at Lewis Silkin that investigated the allegations relating to Gregg Wallace also substantiated an accusation of highly offensive racist language against John Torode which occurred in 2018. 'This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay UK, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. 'Banijay UK and the BBC are agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef.' A BBC spokesperson added: 'John Torode denies the allegation. He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. 'He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' It was reported that last week, the BBC and Banijay asked Torode to resign and claim he had mental health problems. The Sun said Torode refused the request and has issued a statement addressing the racist language allegation on his Instagram. Torode has not yet commented on this announcement, but yesterday made a statement following the release of the report. More Trending The TV chef said on social media that he was the individual 'who is alleged to have used racist language on one occasion', telling fans for the 'sake of transparency' after speculation.

'I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened.
