Prince William and Kate Middleton still have 'genuine spark' on anniversary trip to the Isle of Mull
Prince William and Kate Middleton have been visiting the Isle of Mull for a two-day visit to mark their 14th wedding anniversary. The trip was organised to honour rural communities and allow the royal couple to meet with local artisans, farmers, and residents.
William and Kate were greeted by cheering crowds when they arrived on the Scottish island on yesterday (29 April), which also happened to be their anniversary.
More than 200 tourists and locals lined the main street to celebrate the couple's arrival. William and Kate were said to be staying in a self-catered cottage - marking Kate's first time on an overnight stay during an official engagement since her cancer treatment.
The Royal Foundation is funding the refurbishment of two halls in the area, with Aros Hall and a community hall in the village of Pennyghael in southern Mull both receiving grants from the foundation.
Now, a body language expert has analysed the couple's relationship as they celebrate their anniversary.
With images emerging of William and Kate during their trip, body language expert Darren Stanton sees signs of a 'genuine spark' and a 'mischievous side', as they 'continue to push relationship boundaries' 14 years after their wedding day.
The couple tied the knot in April of 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London, as the world watched.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Darren revealed: "I have analysed hundreds of hours of footage of Kate Middleton and Prince William over the course of my career. In terms of the couple's body language, they are definitely one of the strongest couples - if not the strongest out of all of the Royal family."
The expert shared that there has "always been a genuine spark between them" and they have a "very mischievous element to their relationship and clearly shared the same sense of humour."
He continued: "Despite being together for a number of years, they now appear to be at the epitome of their relationship and well and truly in love. Simple signals that illustrate this include when William looks out for Kate whilst attending events together, just like his father does with Queen Camilla.
"While Kate's confidence has grown, it's clear that he still feels very protective over his wife and will do anything to ensure that she is safe."
The expert also revealed that William and Kate 'continue to push boundaries' comparing the couple to William's cousin Zara and her husband Mike Tindall.
He shared: "There are many instances where the couple have shown public displays of affection over the years. From an odd kiss here and there to holding hands. As their marriage has developed over time, these signals have definitely grown, which proves that the pair have become more comfortable in each other's presence."
Darren believes that despite the couple being "members of the royal family with a lifelong duty", they are not shy when "showing their affectionate side."
Comparing the prince and princess of Wales to Mike and Zara, the expert stated: "I would say that Kate and William are very similar to Mike and Zara Tindall, as both of their marriages are strong and appear to have gone from strength to strength."
"Mike and Zara also appear to have a mischievous side, which is something that Kate and William haven't been afraid to show in recent years. They've definitely broken away from strict protocols and appear more comfortable within their relationship while out in public," he continued.
"Overall, it's clear Kate and William will continue to push the boundaries over the course of their marriage, which will only show them in a more relatable light."

Brazilian Piper Pipe Band is coming to Edinburgh this summer
In August the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band, a group of young men from the tough suburb of Rio de Janeiro, São Goncalo, will set off on a life- changing adventure to one of the official events celebrating the 200th UK-Brazil anniversary here in the capital. Their journey will take them to Lisbon and London, and the Edinburgh Festival where they will play at the Ross Bandstand. The Brazilian Piper Pipe Band was founded in 1999 by Pipe Major José Paulo Pereira as a social project using the discipline of a pipe band to train underprivileged teenagers from a violent area of Rio De Janeiro dominated by drug traffic to become responsible citizens. They have performed their rich repertoire of traditional Scottish pipe tunes, theme music from famous TV series and Brazilian popular music all over South America – including a foot-tapping samba finale always guaranteeing a standing ovation. Their 'Daily Ceilidh' show will be a prime example of the peaceful fusion of culture between Brazil and the UK and will run from 12 to 19 August 2025 between 15.30 and 17.30. Every afternoon the band will gather at the Ross Fountain in West Princes Street Gardens. At 15.30, there will be a parade behind the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band 200 metres from the fountain to the Ross Bandstand entrance. A Grand March into the area for dancing in front of the stage, where the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh band will start off each ' Daily Ceilidh' show with the 'Gay Gordons' dance. The show will continue by inviting the audience to join in easy ceilidh dances led by the Iain MacPhail Pipe Band and RSCDS dancers, interspersed with presentations by the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band and Batucada Brasil Percussion Group. The show will end with general samba dancing for all to the Brazilian Piper Pipe Band, Batucada Brasil Percussion and the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh Band, followed by Auld Lang Syne. The show will include the Iain MacPhail Ceilidh Band. For over thirty years Iain MacPhail provided the music for Caledonian Balls in South America and the Ghillies' Ball for the Royal family at Balmoral Castle. It will also include dancers from the Royal Scottish County Dance Society (RSCDS) and a carnival group from Edinburgh's Brazilian community with the Batucada Brasil percussion band. Capt James H Frew said: 'I'm a native of Edinburgh, and have been 42 years in Brazil. I'm a retired Merchant Navy captain with a marine surveying business. I've been working on this project since March 2024 – and we'll be staying in Port Seton Holiday village caravans, using the 26 bus to get to Princes Street Gardens every day for the show. 'The Brazilian Piper Pipe Band social project is supported by the British consulate in Rio de Janeiro and the Consulate General of Brazil in Edinburgh. The band raised their own travelling expenses from presentations at shipping malls, local community events and the Rio passenger cruise ship terminal.' During their run they will play along with the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) dancers and Batucada Brasil Percussion Group. Edinburgh's Brazilian community is organising a BBQ for them. On 11 August the band will be one of 17 international pipe bands which has been invited by the National Piping Centre, Glasgow, to participate in the annual 'Piping Live' parade to demonstrate the versatility of the Great Highland Bagpipe. On 17 August the band will be received by the Consulate General of Brazil in Edinburgh and on 25 August they will return home. Like this: Like Related

Work by one of Scotland's best loved contemporary artists on show
The exhibition, Elizabeth Blackadder and the Poetry of Memory, is on show by appointment at Lyon & Turnbull's Glasgow showroom on Bath Street until Friday, June 20. Gillian Raffles was one of the few women to own and run her own gallery in London's hugely competitive 'art strip' of Cork Street in Mayfair. She set up the Mercury Gallery in 1964 as a space for both emerging artists and for the more established. READ MORE: The gallery also championed overlooked figurative artists, helping to establish the art world positions of figures including Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Alfred Wallis. Raffles' most enduring professional relationship was with Blackadder, who was the first Scottish woman artist to be a fully elected member of both the Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Academy, London, and the first woman, to be made Her Majesty's Painter and Limner in Scotland. Mercury Gallery held 14 solo shows of the artist's work every two years, from 1965 to 1998, with the two women carefully avoided inflating prices, ensuring accessibility for collectors. Raffles once said of her quietly famous client: "You never read about Elizabeth in the gossip columns or hear her work is selling for record prices... but I don't think she has any regrets."

Although the Mercury Gallery was one of London's most significant and enduring private galleries of the second half of the twentieth century, Raffles expanded to Edinburgh in August 1982, opening a branch on The Mound in the heart of the Capital. The Edinburgh gallery provided a vital platform for Scottish artists and reinforced Raffles' commitment to supporting figurative art beyond the London art scene by showcasing a diverse range of works, including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, with a particular emphasis on Scottish artists. Gillian Raffles closed the Mercury Gallery in 2001, but continued to work with artists on selling and promoting their work from her home in Essex. Her Mercury Gallery archive is now in the safekeeping of the Tate archive. Gillian Raffles died, aged 90, in November 2021. Elizabeth Blackadder died in August 2021, aged 89.

Scotland flights ambitions of Edinburgh Airport chief
Asked in an exclusive interview with The Herald about new routes, taking into account how demand from travellers was developing, Gordon Dewar said: 'We think the Chinese and the Indian markets and other Asian markets are clearly things we should be working on, and we are.' While he said he was 'not going to speculate' on what would happen on this front, Mr Dewar added: 'The growth there demonstrates the opportunity. 'We just work quietly and we celebrate them [new routes] when they arrive.' He highlighted a major uplift in travel to destinations to which new, direct long-haul routes were launched. Mr Dewar said 'longer-haul new destinations add 30% to 50% to travel', noting direct routes meant journeys were 'less time-consuming". He highlighted Edinburgh Airport's success in winning direct flights between the Scottish capital and Beijing operated by Hainan Airlines, which revealed recently it was extending this service to year-round. Mr Dewar said: 'Hainan were one of many Chinese airlines we talked to. They were the one that responded first to really compelling data about why Chinese airlines will be very successful flying to Edinburgh." He flagged 'tens of thousands of Scots travelling between Scotland and Beijing…having to do it through other destinations' previously. Read more It was announced in late April that Hainan's direct service to Beijing would be increasing from seasonal to year-round. Edinburgh Airport has also enjoyed significant success in recent times in winning and building direct flights to North America, serving various key destinations in the US and Canada. It was announced in the spring that United Airlines is extending its service between Edinburgh and Washington DC to what the airport characterised as 'almost year-round'. In March, it was confirmed that Air Canada would launch a new direct route between Edinburgh and Montreal this summer. Mr Dewar said: 'We got a new Montreal route that was probably at least in part motivated by the reduction in traffic between Canada and America. We would have got Montreal at some point. I am not sure we would have got it this year if it hadn't been for that disruption.' Edinburgh Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar (Image: Edinburgh Airport) He highlighted his confidence that Edinburgh Airport will handle more than 16 million passengers this year, setting another all-time high to exceed the record of 15.78 million it achieved in 2024. In 2012, the year in which Mr Dewar took up the chief executive post at the airport, the passenger total was 9.19 million. Asked about the airport's capacity, in the context of its rapid increase in passenger numbers in recent years and the further expansion of flights projected, Mr Dewar replied: 'We have to build quickly…but we are not at the stage of being full yet. That has been true since 2012 where, apart from Covid, we have been in a constant build programme to keep up with that demand. 'We have got the space. We have got the funding. It is just a matter of getting it all lined up and making sure it lands the day before it is needed.' Mr Dewar highlighted the scale of the growth in the long-haul segment at Edinburgh Airport, and the general reduction in domestic traffic as things he did not foresee when he became chief executive. He underlined the extent to which overall passenger growth at Edinburgh Airport had been driven by international flights. Mr Dewar said: 'The ratio of international [traffic] we have is higher. All the growth is international. We have increased our proportion of inbound [passenger traffic]. The American routes – they tend to be stronger inbound demand.' Asked if he would in 2012 have envisaged passenger numbers being where they are now, Mr Dewar replied: 'We had a five-year plan [in 2012] which we slightly bettered.' 'Thirteen years later, the mix is slightly different from what I expected. No one would have seen the reduction in domestic and during Covid.' He declared that 'no one would have seen the growth in long haul'.
