Lorenz looked trendy in a black tank top while Kate stunned in a strappy white number and jeans. She wrote in her caption: "Happy 19th birthday to you! Proud of you every day & love you so so very much! Special one." Alongside another, where the teenager looked visibly younger, the influencer asked: "How did that happen?" Kate and Rio, 46, began dating in 2016 after the death of his first wife, Rebecca Ellison. Rebecca sadly passed away from breast cancer in 2015, at the age of 34. When her death was announced it prompted an outpouring of grief from the footballing world. Rio and Kate opened up about their initial struggles in the BBC documentary Rio And Kate: Becoming A Stepfamily in 2020. However, Kate told Fabulous in 2023: 'I feel settled. '[Experts] say it takes up to seven years to adjust to a new blended, stepfamily set-up. "I remember hearing that and thinking: 'Are you joking? I'm two years in and that's a really long time.' Kate Ferdinand reveals A&E dash with injury-prone son Cree aged four, months after tot broke his collarbone "But now we're six years in and we're all used to each other. "It takes a while to get to know people after so much trauma and everything that has gone on. "Becoming a parent is not built in big, sweeping moments. It's lots of small things you do all the time. "And it takes time to build that bond and relationship. But now I feel secure.' She added: 'Looking back, everything takes time. "You can't go into a new job and expect to know what you're doing straight away if no one tells you what to do. "It's the same coming into an already formed family. You need to know each other and learn to love each other. "But if you put in the hard work, you reap the rewards.' Since tying the knot with Rio in 2019, Kate has welcomed two children with her husband. Their son Cree was born in December 2020 - having announced they were expecting in June. Three years later, Kate and Rio welcomed daughter Shae to the blended family. 5 The Towie alum asked: "How did that happen?" as she paired the latest shot with a sweet throwback Credit: Instagram 5 Kate and Rio began dating in 2016 after the death of his first wife, Rebecca Ellison Credit: Getty

Purple haze: My daughter and I loved the splashes of colour during our day trip to lavender farms
No shrinking violets here, my daughter and I wanted some purple power. Beautiful purple lavender in a field at Kelso Lavender. After a hectic few months, Kate and I went looking for some downtime with added panache among lavender farms. 'I wanted to go to the lavender farms because I wanted to get outside and enjoy the weather and nature in my surrounding communities,' Kate said. 'I love being able to explore new and hidden gems in the GTA for a day trip with friends or family. Plus, I love the colour purple, so why not?!' Our day trip took us to Kelso Lavender in Milton and then, closer to home, Lavender Polo Farm in East Gwillimbury. The lavender was in full bloom at Kelso, with the fields awash in deep purple. Kate and I were pleased to see items placed through the farm among the lavender plants. Perfect for taking photos to post on social media. A piano placed in a field at Kelso Lavender. Items placed through the fields are great for staging photos. Kate and I sit in a carriage among the lavender plants at Kelso Lavender. As Kate said, 'a Canadian classic of normal and huge Muskoka chairs, flower arches, a carriage and a magical garden. It was all very 'Insta-worthy.'' We grabbed a selfie in a large Muskoka chair at Kelso Lavender. Kelso is a family-run farm, established in 2017. Home to more than 25,000 lavender plants and counting, the family uses organic farming methods with no herbicides or pesticides. After pausing by what we called the magical garden, which is fenced off from entry, we headed to the small store. 'I loved the gift shop and some of the unique things they had for sale,' Kate said. 'I loved the mini hand-painted prints by a local artist, the dried bouquets and the potted plants. Being able to bring a piece home with you and support small Canadian businesses is always a plus!' In the shop, we also found lavender maple syrup, natural and handmade soaps and shampoo bars, eye and neck pillows filled with lavender and other items. We each had a lavender ice cream. We were a bit disappointed the ice cream came in little cups rather than cones but the creaminess of the sweet treat made up for it. Kate was able to have a lavender ice cream — lavender, lemon, berry, in fact — in a cone when we got to Polo Lavender. The farm's tag line is 'Where Lavender Dreams Bloom.' Lavender Polo Farm in East Gwillimbury welcomes visitors with a sign. The website goes on to say, 'Step into a world of soft petals, serene scents and unforgettable memories. Follow the scent, find tranquility. Your perfect countryside escape begins here.' The lavender wasn't as deeply purple as it was at Kelso the day we visited on July 11. The brutal winter caused the plants to flower later than normal but the subsequent days of blistering temperatures have done wonders to get the lavender to blossom, owner Arthur Lin said. Trips to lavender farms are blooming, he said. Many people already make yearly trips to berry, apple and pumpkin farms. More and more, people are adding lavender farms to their must-do lists, Lin said. Lavender Polo is a 155-acre family-run farm, home to more than 100,000 blooming lavender plants and a variety of seasonal flowers, making it the largest lavender farm in Ontario, he said. The farm is divided into different types of lavender plots — super blue, phenomenal, Munstead and Melissa. The farm is called Lavender Polo because the polo-loving family holds matches at the site, hosting a charity event every year. This year's Polo in the Lavender event on Aug. 16 will raise money for Feed Ontario, which manages food banks in Ontario. For more information, visit The farm boasts a coffee shop, workshops and a gift shop. Drinks at the coffee shop include lavender Americano, lavender latte, lavender tea, lavender mojito and green and purple grape tea. In addition to lavender ice cream, snacks include chicken nuggets, hot dogs, pizza, cookies and muffins. You can enjoy your treats inside the coffee shop, on the patio or at a row of picnic tables under the shade of nearby trees. The fountain at Lavender Polo is a good place to rest and take a photo. At the workshops, visitor can create their own healing oil at the lavender essence lab and make candles and perfume. The gift shop has an assortment of items for sale, including lavender bath bombs, lavender pillows, body sprays, foaming soaps and more. In coming days, the corn maze will be an added attraction. 'Some of the comments we get (from visitors about the farm) are the plants are beautiful, they like the atmosphere, they like the smell a lot. A lot of people come here to buy our essential oil for the purpose of the aroma,' Lin said. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.

You can touch an actual piece of the Titanic at this interactive Toronto exhibit
Immerse yourself into the world of the Titanic with a new interactive experience in Toronto. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition has made a stop at 30 Hanover Rd. in North York, giving Ontarians a glimpse into real artifacts from the doomed cruise ship. With more than 200 authentic artifacts recovered from the wreck of the Titanic at a depth of almost 10,000 feet, the exhibit is educational and also gives you a peek at what life was like at the turn of the 20th century. 'Visit the reconstruction of the ship's rooms, and uncover poignant accounts of the passengers present at the time of the shipwreck,' the exhibit said on its website. 'Step into the breathtaking VR experience and the cutting-edge rooms, where history comes to life like never before, allowing you to witness the Titanic's journey in a truly unforgettable way.' The iconic stairwell of the Titanic has been recreated for an exhibition, now in Toronto. For those unfamiliar with the tale, the Titanic was built by the White Star Line, starting in 1909. It set sail for its maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912, with 2,224 people on board. On April 14, the ship approached Canada's east coast and struck an iceberg just before midnight. It sunk into the Atlantic shortly after 2 a.m. on April 15 and 1,500 people died. Bodies were later buried in the Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia. People around the world have been fascinated by the ocean liner's history for decades. Many documentaries have been shared on the famous ship's demise, including from National Geographic, with a VR recreation now on Netflix. TITANIC: THE DIGITAL RESURRECTION provides a groundbreaking look at history's most famous maritime disaster in unprecedented detail. But probably the most famous is James Cameron's Hollywood adaptation, a movie called ' Titanic' released in 1997 with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. It took fictional characters and dramatized the days leading up to the sinking, showing the grand opulence and struggles likely faced by many on board. At this real-life exhibit, guests can see what a stateroom looked like, and also the more humble accommodations given to the lower-class passengers. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is in Toronto until the fall and many recreations are available, including a wealthy stateroom. Double bunk beds are seen in this recreation of a more humble bedroom. The ship's grand stairway has also been recreated, and guests are welcome to pose in selfies in front of the replica. The iconic stairwell of the Titanic has been recreated for an exhibition, now in Toronto. And if you happen to be a fan of the movie, you can relive the famous Leo and Kate moment of standing at the bow, or shout 'I'm the king of the world' — but maybe use an indoor voice. Relive your best Leo and Kate moments as 'king of the world' at the mock bow of the ship. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is here until the end of September. Tickets start at $39.90 for general admission, $31.90 for kids and $36.90 for family bundles, with a minimum of eight tickets. For more details and to purchase tickets, visit .

Queen Camilla's subtle beauty change 'takes years off her look'– was it inspired by Kate?
Can you tell what's different about Queen Camilla's beauty look? Queen Camilla celebrated her 78th birthday last week, and we're wondering if she gifted herself a beauty treatment for the occasion– one that's seemingly inspired by her step-daughter-in-law, Princess Kate. Eagle-eyed Royal fans have spotted a change to Camilla's usual beauty look, and it's helping to give her a youthful appearance. The change? Her eyebrows. In pictures taken this month, Camilla's brows look darker and more defined than usual, prompting one expert to speculate that she may have turned to a popular treatment to get lasting results. Karen Betts, a renowned authority on permanent make-up, explains: 'To the trained eye, it appears Queen Camilla may have had a machine-based brow tattoo. The defined, darker look is typical just after treatment—brows usually soften in colour and shape within 7 to 10 days." She continues: "While I cannot confirm with certainty whether Queen Camilla has recently undergone a permanent make-up procedure, to the trained eye, it does appear that she may have had a machine-based method of eyebrow tattooing. The brows appear quite defined and darker than usual, which is typical in the immediate days following treatment. This initial intensity is completely normal and brows typically soften in both colour and appearance as they heal, gradually settling to a lighter, more natural-looking shade." Of course, Queen Camilla could just be using a different eyebrow pencil, or perhaps she's turned to a tint to get a slightly darker shade, but it's true that her eyebrows do appear to have had a makeover in recent weeks – and she's not the first royal to cause a stir with a new beauty look. Though Princess Kate isn't rumoured to have had a tattoo brow treatment, you might remember when she debuted a new brow look in 2021 and caused the Internet to go into overdrive with speculation about what she used to give her arches a thicker, more youthful appearance. The overwhelming theory at the time was that she may have tried out brow lamination – where the hairs are set into a brushed-up position with the help of chemical solutions – but again, this was never confirmed. However, it was generally agreed by beauty experts that the bushier brow style helped to give Kate a younger look. Along with a fuller-looking brow, Karen explains that "a slightly lifted arch, rather than a flat or overly straight brow, can open up the eye area, give the face a more refreshed effect and create a natural, youthful lift." She explains, " Well-defined brows have a transformative effect. They frame the eyes, restore balance to the face, and can subtly lift the features, often giving the impression of a more youthful and well-rested appearance without the need for more invasive treatments." If you're keen to get a brow makeover, there are low-commitment ways to do it at home... Get a royal-inspired eyebrow transformation Ardell Brow Lamination Kit: Save a small fortune by doing your own brow lamination at home. In under 20 minutes this kit will give you laminated, microblade-looking eyebrows that stay looking pristine for 5-6 weeks.
