Prince William & Kate Middleton Welcome New Addition to Their Family After Reports of a '4th Child'
As royal fans may remember, Camilla wore that same dress for Charles' son Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018. Camilla's rewear came a week after the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary, as fans speculate that Camilla's choice of clothing cold be a nod to the couple amid Harry's public feud with Charles.
Harry and Charles' family feud made headlines in early May 2025 when Harry claimed in an interview with the BBC that his father 'won't speak' to him despite him wanting a 'reconciliation' with his family. Harry added that he didn't want to fight any longer as he did not know much longer' Charles—who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024—had left to live.
Following Harry's interview, a source told Us Weekly that Harry's brother, Prince William, was 'done' with him for commenting about their father's cancer publicly. 'William doesn't talk about Harry anymore,' the insider said. 'Everyone knows it's a subject that they shouldn't bring up, so he hasn't brought up the interview and won't.' The source continued, 'William is done with Harry. When he becomes King, everybody thinks the divide will become even wider.'
Could Camilla's rewear be a sign that she wants the royal feud to end? A source told RadarOnline in May 2025 that, while William isn't on speaking terms with Harry, other members of the British royal family—including William's wife, Kate Middleton—are more open to a reconcilation.
'Kate's deeply upset with Harry, but she's also frustrated that William and the rest of the family have allowed things to deteriorate this badly,' the insider said. 'It's heartbreaking for her to watch the family so publicly divided.'
While Kate has sympathy for Harry, the source claimed that William doesn't support his wife—or any member of the British royal family—contacting Harry because of how their conversations could be 'twisted.'
'He's made it clear to the rest of the family that they should keep their distance from the Sussexes, because anything shared could be turned against them,' the insider said.
The source continued, 'William doesn't like having to put his foot down with Kate, but he sees this as necessary to protect everyone. What he's most worried about is that anything Kate says to Harry could be twisted or resurface later – especially if there's another book, or if Meghan decides to tell her own side of the story.' The report came as fans speculated that Kate was also trying to show her support of Harry by wearing the same yellow Philip Treacy hat she donned at Harry and Meghan's wdding to a garden party the same day as the Sussexes' wedding anniversary.

Rebecca Adlington says public called her ‘too fat' and ‘ugly' while competing in Olympics aged 19
Former Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington has opened up about dealing with hurtful comments about her weight and appearance while competing for Team GB, aged 19. The four-time Olympic gold medalist and BBC pundit, who made her debut at the 2008 Beijing Games and won the 400 and 800 metres freestyle, has said in a new interview that she 'blocked everyone out' while dealing with public criticism of her body. 'I had won an Olympic medal – but the media was saying I was too fat. That I wasn't in shape. I kept thinking: What am I too fat for? Yes, I've got big shoulders, but they're my power,' she told the i. She added: 'I was 19 and people were openly saying how ugly I was. I was still a baby. It was incredibly difficult to navigate because I knew I wasn't attractive. I've never considered myself one of the pretty girls. But I didn't realise you had to be stunning to be an Olympic athlete. 'For me, it was very normal to have a tall body frame and big shoulders. Swimming is a very exposing sport; you are in a swimsuit. But people in swimming clubs do not look at one another as fat or thin. I look at people and think they're in shape.' Adlington said that she felt the 'most sorry' for her parents, because they would see the hateful messages 'about their little girl'. To cope, the athlete kept a tight-knit circle around her and 'blocked everyone else out'. 'I don't know how I got through it. I don't think I handled it the best way,' she said. Adlington, from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, retired from competitive swimming aged 23, and now works as a well-known face in BBC Olympic commentary and runs Swim!, a school that teaches children to swim. She shares a son, Albie, with her husband Andy Parsons. She also has a daughter, Summer, from her first marriage to swimmer and personal trainer Harry Needs. Adlington has recently been using her platform to raise awareness of coeliac disease, which she was diagnosed with after experiencing recurring miscarriages. Coeliac disease is a condition where the immune system attacks a person's tissues when they consume gluten, a protein naturally found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye, which can damage the small intestine. 'Looking back, I've had symptoms for a couple of years, but I was not aware that the disease was linked to fertility and miscarriage,' Adlington said in the same interview. She said that doctors initially thought she had gastroenteritis – an inflammation of the stomach and intestines – but doctors tested her for coeliac disease after he recurring miscarriages. 'I think my symptoms worsened with my second pregnancy with my son Albie,' she said, adding: 'I put the fatigue down to my hormones changing so much with getting pregnant. I would have a painful stomach and bloating.' In March, Adlington partnered with the charity Coeliac UK and handed a petition to the UK government to highlight the importance of protecting access to gluten-free prescriptions for people with the disease.

The plight of Jimmy Lai shames us all
Dictatorships use solitary confinement as a form of torture, designed to break the prisoner's spirit. Under international law, 'prolonged solitary confinement' is defined as exceeding 15 days. British citizen and 77 year-old media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai, in jail in Hong Kong, has now exceeded 1,600 days in solitary confinement, yet has committed no crime. He has already served several prison sentences on multiple trumped-up charges, including 13 months for lighting a candle and saying a prayer at a vigil commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. He is currently on trial under Hong Kong's draconian National Security Law, imposed by Beijing in 2020, and could face life imprisonment, simply for standing up for the human rights and democratic principles that China pledged to guarantee when it was handed control of Hong Kong from British rule. The authorities appear determined to drag his trial out for as long as possible. When it started at the end of 2023, it was due to last 30 days. Multiple adjournments have meant that closing submissions will not be heard until August this year and the verdict and sentencing may not come until the end of the year, making it a two-year trial process. This outrageous foot-dragging is designed to test the mental strength of Mr Lai, his family and his legal team. Despite widespread international condemnation, Mr Lai continues to be held in a tiny cell for more than 23 hours a day, deprived of natural light, and permitted less than an hour a day for physical exercise in a confined space. This is dehumanising and brutal treatment more often associated with 'maximum security prisons' for extremely violent offenders, while Mr Lai just lit a candle to commemorate a massacre that China has tried to erase from history, and exercised his freedom of expression by founding and publishing a successful newspaper. He is in jail for journalism, and for his opinions. Mr Lai, who is diabetic, has been denied access to independent medical care, and denied the right to his first choice of legal counsel, when British barrister Tim Owen KC was barred from representing him. His international legal team has received numerous outrageous threats. Even the right to receive Holy Communion has been restricted which, for Mr Lai as a devout Catholic, is a particularly poignant cruelty. Several governments around the world – including the United Kingdom, United States and Australia – have called for his release, as have the Canadian and European Parliaments. Five United Nations Special Rapporteurs – independent experts on freedom of expression, freedom of association, torture, the independence of judges and lawyers, and counter-terrorism and human rights – and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention have expressed concerns about the case. But the key question is what is the British government actually doing to free its citizen? It is not that no one seems to care – plenty of sympathy and support has been expressed for Mr Lai's plight. The fact that both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves have raised the case in their exchanges with China's leaders is welcome. A cross-departmental approach from the Government is the right strategy. But the important question is how was it raised? In passing, as a box-ticking exercise, or in a meaningful way? If Mr Lai dies in jail, what will be the consequences for China's relations with the United Kingdom, and have they been spelled out? It is time to turn sympathy into action, and words into meaningful measures. That is why an open letter to the prime minister last week by 22 former prisoners or relatives of former prisoners from around the world, asking him 'to do everything in your power to bring Jimmy Lai home', is so powerful and significant. Among the signatories are people whose own plight once looked dire. They include Russian opposition politician Vladimir Kara-Murza and his wife Evgenia, former Iranian prisoner Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her husband Richard, Chinese-Australian journalist Cheng Lei who was jailed in China, Paul Rusebagina who was imprisoned in Rwanda and the former Soviet dissident For these reasons, they urge the United Kingdom to take urgent steps to secure Mr Lai's release, 'before it is too late'. They call on the prime minister to meet Mr Lai's family as a matter of urgency, and to take 'robust, principled, strategic action'. President Donald Trump has said that Mr Lai's case will be on the table in any US-China trade talks. The United Kingdom must be equally strategic in identifying what leverage it can use to free Mr Lai. It must make it clear to Beijing that Mr Lai's continued imprisonment – and the risk that he might die in jail – is not in the interests of either China or Hong Kong. Not if it wishes to remain a significant business partner. Other countries have been able to secure the release of their citizens from China. Australia worked hard to free Cheng Lai, as did Canada in the case of its citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, and Ireland with the detention of businessman Richard O'Halloran. The United States spares no effort in securing the release of its citizens unjustly imprisoned abroad. Sir Keir Starmer therefore must step up to free Mr Lai. Mr Lai's name must be on the lips of every world leader, every diplomat, every journalist and every Parliamentarian until he is freed. He should never have been arrested in the first place, but after four and a half years of his detention in solitary confinement it is time to say clearly to Beijing: enough is enough.
