The fabric is 60% cotton and 40% polyester (Image: Dunelm ) For some customers the chair looked like an expensive alternative but at a more budget friendly level, with one unable to contain their joy, saying, 'I adore the chair. It's more like a small two seater couch and fits the space allotted like a glove. Can't believe the price. It looks like I spent several hundreds more than I did.

The item's frame is made from plywood, the legs are rubberwood, and the fabric is 60% cotton and 40% polyester, with 'foam and fibre filled cushions 'for a comfortable experience'. The legs, which you attached to the chair yourself, are made of rubberwood (Image: Dunelm ) Article continues below However, not every customer agrees with Dunelm's description on comfort, with one commenting, 'Not as comfortable as it looks - quite hard and material feel a bit on the tough side' but another expressing that, 'it is nice and comfy after a week or so. The only annoying thing is I find I have to plump the back cushion daily'. For more home content, including products, join our Amazing Welsh Homes Facebook group here.

Fact Check: No, UK's Princess Beatrice didn't cut ties with family after DNA test revealed 'true paternity'
Claim: Britain's Princess Beatrice cut ties with the British royal family after a DNA test revealed her true paternity. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in May 2025 claimed Britain's Princess Beatrice, the elder daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, cut ties with the British royal family after a DNA test revealed her true paternity. Beatrice is ninth in the line of succession to the British throne. Searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo revealed users primarily sharing this rumor in at least dozens of YouTube videos. For example, on May 17, a manager of the Retro Discovery YouTube channel (@RetroDiscoverys) published an advertisement-filled video displaying the title, "Princess Beatrice Cuts All Ties After Shocking DNA Reveals Her True Paternity." The thumbnail image also allegedly showed Queen Camilla kissing Andrew, along with the text, "Camilla is your mother." That one clip received over 371,000 views, as of this writing. Other users also reposted content about the rumor from YouTube on Facebook (archived) and TikTok (archived). (Image courtesy of Retro Discovery/YouTube) However, those same searches of the four search-engine websites also found no news media outlets reporting about Beatrice cutting ties with family or receiving "shocking" DNA test results about her purported "true" father. Rather, the rumor was simply the latest in a long line of YouTube videos featuring fabricated stories and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated voice narration about prominent figures in the entertainment business and politics — as well as anyone associated with the royal family — all for the goal of YouTube monetization via ad revenue. While the Retro Discovery channel's video and description did not include any disclaimers about its story, the channel's bio features a disclaimer about the inauthentic nature of its content, reading in part: The content presented in our videos, descriptions, and thumbnails is not intended to be interpreted as factual or definitive evidence regarding any topics discussed. We make no claims about the actions or behavior of individuals or entities mentioned in the video. The material is speculative in nature, based on internet gossip, and is provided solely for entertainment and discussion purposes. It should not be used to draw conclusions, take action, or imply wrongdoing by anyone featured in or outside the video. If any part of our content is found to be misleading, false, or offensive, please reach out to us directly, and we will address the issue promptly. By consuming our content, you agree that we are not responsible for any misinformation, harm, or damages resulting from its use. Always approach information critically and verify its accuracy before accepting it as truth. The bio's writer asks users to "reach out" if "content is found to be misleading, false, or offensive," claiming that they "will address the issue promptly." However, the bio did not display any contact information for users to alert the channel's managers of such content, or for Snopes to ask questions about the false rumor. YouTube creators publishing similar content also uploaded other ad-filled videos in May featuring different members of the royal family alongside fabricated DNA-test rumors. Some of those titles included, "Prince Harry COLLAPSES In Court After DNA Test Results Of Archie Turns Out Shocking," "Prince William Cuts All Ties After DNA RESULT Reveal His True Paternity" and "Queen Camilla's Son Cuts All Ties After Shocking DNA Reveal His True Paternity." If any such news had truly occurred, news media outlets around the world would have rushed to cover the matter. The opening clip in the Retro Discovery YouTube video — prior to the start of the AI-generated narrator voice — shows Beatrice in a sit-down interview saying the words, "And I think at that stage, those moments of doubt just pop into your head. I'm not good enough. I'm not smart enough. Why am I not like the others?" However, this interview had nothing to do with a DNA test about her parents. Instead, the clip originated in a video on the Made By Dyslexia YouTube channel, and showed Beatrice opening up about her dyslexia diagnosis. In 2023, published more information about Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, both living with dyslexia. For further reading, a previous fact check examined whether Prince William truly faced a £60 fine for taking his son, Prince George, out of school to go to a soccer game.

View Deal View Deal Princess Beatrice paired her dress with a navy jacket and matching wedges, while Eugenie accessorized with nude slingbacks, the same $325 tan Flattered clutch she carried on Easter and white sunglasses.

Princess Beatrice Channels Princess Kate in Self-Portrait—and Recycles a Dress from Grandma Queen Elizabeth's Memorial Vigil
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Self-Portrait's tailored tweed dresses and delicate lace midis have proven to be a staple in royal wardrobes in recent years, with everyone from Queen Letizia of Spain and Sweden's Princess Sofia to Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle sporting the brand's designs. One particular style has come up again and again at royal events, and Princess Beatrice showed the versatility of one of her favorite dresses at the FEVO Sports Industry Awards on May 15. The royal—who gave birth to her second daughter, Athena, in February—wore a black version of the ivory Self-Portrait blazer dress Princess Kate sported at a VE Day concert last week. The belted design features a jacket with satin lapels over a floaty chiffon skirt, and it's been seen multiple times on both Beatrice and Kate, who also owns the same black design. Princess Beatrice first wore the style at a vigil for Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, pairing it with a black hat as she stood by her grandmother's coffin. Two days later, royal cousin Flora Vesterberg wore the same Self-Portrait dress to the late Queen's funeral. View Deal To keep the twinning vibes going, Princess Beatrice wore a similar style as Kate's ivory Self-Portrait dress to support premature birth charity Borne in March. On Thurday, the princess paired her outfit with another style beloved by the Princess of Wales, carrying an embroidered black Aspinal of London Midi Mayfair purse. Thursday's event marked Beatrice's second stylish appearance of the week after attending an Elephant Family charity event with Queen Camilla and King Charles. She turned to Rebecca Vallance for the party, wearing a short-sleeved red brocade gown and $34,000 in Chopard diamonds. The Rebecca Vallance style made another appearance at the FEVO Sports Industry Awards—but on another member of the Royal Family. Beatrice's cousin Zara Tindall wore the same gown, but in black, on the red carpet, showing great style (once again) runs in the family. View Deal View Deal View Deal View Deal

Princess Beatrice Recycles One of Her Maternity Dresses For Second Red Carpet Appearance in a Week
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Princess Beatrice has had quite the busy—and stylish—two weeks after matching with sister Princess Eugenie in blue florals for the Chelsea Flower Show and attending the FEVO Sports Industry Awards in a black blazer dress on May 15. While Eugenie attended a Buckingham Palace garden party with Prince William, Princess Kate, Zara Tindall, Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward on May 20, Beatrice missed out on the family fun—and there's a solid reason why she skipped the event. Princess Beatrice traveled to NYC to attend the 2025 New York Women in Communications Inc. (NYWICI) Matrix Awards on the same day as the garden party. For the glamorous event, the royal repeated the black velvet Rebecca Vallance dress she wore for the designer's holiday collection launch in October 2024, shortly after she announced her second pregnancy. The bow-trimmed midi dress features short, puffed sleeves and sparkling bows trimming a keyhole cutout at the front, and Beatrice—who gave birth to a daughter, Athena, in February—paired it with classic black pumps. "2025 NYWICI Matrix Awards! We celebrated the theme 'Leading Luminaries' by honoring seven phenomenal women who are lighting the way. ✨," the organization wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of Beatrice with fellow attendees, including Spotify Chief Public Affairs Officer, Dustee Jenkins. Princess Beatrice presented Jenkins with an award at the event, stating, (per People), "When speaking to a friend like Dustee, you are overcome with the joy and the energy that she brings, and I am so honored to be standing here amongst so many incredible women, and I'm so grateful that my wonderful friend is receiving this award because she really deserves it, because she really is the light." Last week, Beatrice also made a statement in a repeat black look, wearing the same Self-Portrait blazer dress that she debuted at Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Princess Kate also wore the same dress, but in white, to a VE Day concert on May 8.
