Kate Middleton's exact Boden linen safari shirt is slashed by £15 in rare sale
Kate Middleton recently championed the British high street by stepping out in a linen Boden shirt, and the exact one has been slashed by £15 in a rare offer Kate Middleton has been making more and more appearances over the past few months, and of course, her impeccable style is always at the forefront ( just recently, her My Fair Lady-style polka dress and, of course, her forest green Victoria Beckham suit). On another recent trip to Mull in Scotland, the Princess of Wales opted for a chic countryside look: a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer (her one is the Double-Breasted Blazer from Holland Cooper), brown skinny trousers, and chunky brown boots. The exact blue shirt Kate appeared to be wearing was Boden's Blue Longline 100% Linen Safari Shirt, priced at £98, and amazingly, it's still in stock in sizes 8-18. And to make it even better, you can currently get 15% off using the code JM7D. That brings the price down by more than £15 to £83.40. Crafted from airy 100% linen, this shirt is ideal for staying cool in the summer while still looking smart and chic. Linen is a fabric that can often look a bit too casual and sometimes unprofessional, but that's not the case with this Boden one. To style this for the warmer months, we suggest swapping out Kate's tweed blazer and dark jeans for something a bit lighter, like a denim midi skirt, poplin maxi skirt, or straight-leg jeans. If you're looking for a floatier, less safari-chic blue linen shirt, Meghan Markle recently wore best-selling Garçon classic shirt in cotton poplin in the simple yet timeless 'Blue Eoe' shade. A great option if you have a bit more budget to spend (although also quite a reasonably-priced buy!). While Gap's Blue 100% Linen Oversized Shirt, available for £75 here, is one of those throw-on staples you'll reach for all summer long. Designed from 100% soft linen, it's breathable, lightweight, and machine washable, making it the ideal piece to roll up in your suitcase. To style this, we suggest keeping it simple with a pair of Ecru-coloured jeans and some on-trend woven ballet flats.

Kate Middleton Refuses to Compromise on "Central Values" She's Teaching George, Charlotte, and Louis
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Kate Middleton's parenting techniques have been well documented. From refusing to allow her three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—to take part in the Royal Family's "blooding" tradition, to seemingly turning down Queen Camilla's advice, Princess Kate appears to be headstrong when it comes to her kids. As well as helping Prince William to be "a different kind of parent," Princess Kate has spoken openly about the qualities and values she is raising their children to prioritize. During a speech at the Place2Be Big Assembly for Children's Mental Health Week in February 2017, Princess Kate explained, "When I was growing up I was very lucky. My family was the most important thing to me. They provided me with somewhere safe to grow and learn, and I know I was fortunate not to have been confronted by serious adversity at a young age." The Princess of Wales continued, "I think that every child should have people around them to show them love, and to show them kindness, and nurture them as they grow." Elaborating on the parenting tenets she abides by, Kate told the audience, "My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life. That is why William and I want to teach our little children, George and Charlotte, just how important these things are as they grow up." She continued, "In my view it is just as important as excelling at maths or sport." As well as ensuring George, Charlotte, and Louis are raised to value "kindness, respect, and honesty," the Prince and Princess of Wales have apparently put a lot of consideration into constructing their own set of parenting rules. In February 2025, royal aide Jason Knauf spoke with 60 Minutes Australia, about Kate and William's approach to parenting, and the concerns they had as new parents. Knauf explained (via Hello! magazine), "[William's] childhood in front of the media was quite difficult at then he knew that he was going to be raising his kids to deal with social media and mobile phones and all of that stuff." The former royal aide continued, "I definitely saw the worried mom and dad behind the scenes." Luckily, it seems as though Princess Kate is a very confident parent, with a wealth of experience.

Meghan Markle Shares Adorable Video of Lilibet in Her Beekeeper's Outfit
On Sunday, Meghan Markle offered a glimpse of a special mother-daughter activity with Lilibet that included some adorable outfits for both the duchess and the princess. In a video she shared in her Instagram Stories, the Duchess of Sussex is holding her 3-year-old daughter's hand as they approach a beehive and smoker, set to the song 'Sugar, Sugar' by The Archies. Both Meghan and Lilibet are in white beekeeper's uniforms with net-covered hats and gloves. Lilibet also has on a pair of bright rainbow galoshes. At one point in the clip, she looks up towards her mom as though for reassurance. In another sweet moment, Meghan leans down to talk to Lilibet, resting her gloved hand on her back and smiling. The duchess has talked about her interest in beekeeping before on her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, where she was filmed handling a hive and grabbing some fresh honey. 'It's like also that little reminder to do something that scares you a little bit. I think that's part of it, but I'm trying to stay in the calm of it. Because it's beautiful to be this connected,' she said of the hobby. Meghan's sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is also a fan of beekeeping and has hives at her and Prince William's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. In 2023, she shared a picture of herself in her beekeeping outfit for World Bee Day on the Prince and Princess of Wales's Instagram account. 'Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and today is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy,' she shared in the caption. The family tradition continues into the next generation.

Kate Middleton vs Meghan Markle: which royal is winning the beekeeping competition?
Feels like a brewing royal roulette! In a span of a week – give or take – two royals have enlisted the testament of their 'favorite' passion! It's 'bee-spoke' beekeeping! A hobby that was once well-known in the royal circle might have become a point of yet another royal rivalry! At least, it seems so. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Only a week back, Kate Middleton's (Catherine, Princess of Wales) Instagram account was abuzz with a beehive video to celebrate World Bee Day. The minimalist video was captioned as, 'Happy World Bee Day! Celebrating a small insect with a big job. Bees pollinate our flowers, plants and crops, support biodiversity and keep our ecosystems thriving.' Nearly a week from that, now, (Duchess of Sussex), has posted a story on her Instagram account, where she takes her daughter Princess Lilibet along for a visit to an apiary. Are the estranged trying to beat each other at their beekeeping game? Who's keeping the score? Let's take a look at their apiary track records: Kate Middleton's beekeeping endeavors Kate Middleton, known for her environmental advocacy, has also embraced beekeeping. And as it turns out, beekeeping is something that runs in Kate's family – from both sides. Princess of Wales shares the hobby not only with her younger brother, James Middleton, but also with her mother-in-law, Queen Camilla. In fact, the Princess of Wales keeps a hive at her country home, Anmer Hall. In 2021, on a visit to London's Natural History Museum to promote their Urban Nature Project, Kate Middleton brought a jar of honey from her hives for school children to taste. In 2023, Princess Catherine shared a photo of herself in a full beekeeping suit, brushing bees off of a honeycomb frame, via Instagram to honor World Bee Day, writing, "We are buzzing about #WorldBeeDay. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and today is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy.' Queen Camilla and King Charles love a good garden-themed hobby, so it's no surprise they're also avid apiarists. The King keeps beehives at various royal properties such as Windsor Castle and also at his country retreat, Highgrove House, and The Queen once sold honey from her Wiltshire home, Ray Mill, at iconic London department store Fortnum & Mason. Queen Camilla even sells her honey at the British department store Fortnum & Mason, with all proceeds going to ShelterBox, a disaster relief organization that provides shelter and emergency tools. In fact, Camilla is such a bee enthusiast that she recently awarded a royal warrant to bee venom facialist Deborah Mitchell. Meghan Markle's beekeeping journey Meghan Markle has developed a strong interest in beekeeping, transforming part of her Montecito estate into a sanctuary for thousands of bees. In 'With Love, Meghan', the Duchess of Sussex shared her Royal-approved hobby while she showed off her pristine white beekeeping suit and hood. Meghan was seen being excited while walking into the apiary as she whispered in excitement while scraping honey from a tray, saying, "Look at how much honey we have!" In a scene from the lifestyle series, Markle is seen pulling honey from a live hive, saying, "It's like also that little reminder to do something that scares you a little bit. I think that's part of it, but I'm trying to stay in the calm of it. Because it's beautiful to be this connected." In fact, Meghan even used 'organic honey' in her kitchen throughout the run of the series. In the most recent social post, the Duchess of Sussex was seen approaching an apiary while holding her 3-year-old daughter's hand. The pair were dressed in matching beekeeper suits. However, apart from her lifestyle series, she has not been seen being involved in the process of extracting the honey. So, who's winning the beekeeping game so far? While there is no official beekeeping competition between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, their underlying rivalry has been much-discussed and pondered over. Well, the scoreboard is in your court, and it's up to you to decide – who takes the 'bee-spoke' prize! Kate Middleton Gives Unexpected Nod To Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Wedding Anniversary

George, Charlotte, and Louis Are "Delighted" as Kate and William Announce New Additions to Their Family
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Kate Middleton and Prince William caused widespread excitement each time they announced the birth of a new royal baby. Now, the Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly "delighted" their kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—by revealing that they've expanded their family once again. This time, however, it is the family's dog, Orla, who has welcomed several new puppies. As reported by The Sun, William and Kate's black Cocker Spaniel, Orla, has reportedly given birth to four puppies. A royal source told the outlet, "Mother and babies are doing well." The insider continued, "We always thought the patter of tiny feet in the Wales's household had ended, so the sound of tiny paws will have to do." While it's currently unclear whether the Prince and Princess of Wales plan to keep the new puppies, their own kids are apparently very happy about the new household additions. "Everyone royal baby news, and so new royal puppies run very close," the source claimed. The royal source continued, "Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla, and Lupo before." Royal fans will recall that William and Kate announced the death of their dog, Lupo, in 2020. Kate's brother, James Middleton, gave the family Orla soon after. In April, the Prince and Princess of Wales's official Instagram account paid tribute to Orla by posting a photo of the sweet pup, with the caption, "Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives this #NationalPetDay." Kate and William aren't the only members of the Royal Family to love dogs. For instance, Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Feguson, recently revealed that Queen Elizabeth II communicates with her from beyond via her corgis. Unsurprisingly, the late Queen didn't react too kindly when a royal relative suggested that all of the monarch's corgis "should be shot." Meanwhile, the first photos of Queen Camilla's new dog, Moley, were released ahead of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2025.
