Royal News Roundup: Kate Middleton Drops Surprise Videos, Prince Harry Issues Rare Statement & More

The Princess of Wales's brother, James Middleton's, turned another year older this week. Middleton, Prince William and their family are reportedly ditching their typical Easter plans this year for something more low-key. Prince William's body language while watching a soccer game was unlike anything we've seen before. Prince George tagged along for the game and the father-son duo had very similar reactions while watching. William and George were joined by another royal couple, Olivia and Hugh Grosvenor, for the big game. A new photo of King Charles and Queen Camilla revealed major insight into their marriage. The pair's body language during a recent trip to Italy also shed light on how happy they are together. King Charles shared a timely and emotional message ahead of the Easter holiday. Queen Camilla recently wore a stunning brooch with a hefty $10 million price tag and sweet tie to Princess Diana. Camilla also made a surprising remark about her marriage to King Charles when asked about his work amid his cancer treatment. Duchess Sophie helped make history as she filled in for King Charles at the Sovereign's Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. She wore a stunning monochromic look for the event which had a striking similarity to one Kate Middleton previously wore. Sophie's outfit while visiting the Yellow Labrador Club also channeled a Kate Middleton staple. Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Ukraine for a very special cause.
