Royal News Roundup: Kate Middleton's Wax Statue, Prince Archie's Sweet Pic & King Charles's Rare Health Update
King Charles and Prince William attended the Service for the Order of the Bath, a royal tradition dating back hundreds of years. Buckingham Palace shared a striking image of the father-son duo standing side-by-side in traditional military attire. King Charles happily embraced a royal fan during a visit to the David Hockney Gallery in Bradford, although this is generally considered to be against royal protocol. The monarch was joined by Queen Camilla when he visited Bradford Live. They spoke with local artists and watched a rehearsal by students of 'Sing, Dance, Leap.' King Charles gave a rare health update at the Impact Hub Yorkshire in Little Germany, Bradford. He told a local florist he's "on the better side" of his cancer journey. The queen welcomed a furry member to the royal family. The 77-year-old royal shared a pic with her newly adopted rescue dog, Moley, on Instagram. The king and queen announced a few more details regarding their visit to North America, including the State Opening of the Parliament of Canada and a community event in Ottawa. Their Majesties visited the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show. The king was spotted with a traditional walking stick that bears a striking resemblance to the cane his late mother received as a gift from the British Army. Princess Catherine presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design to Patrick McDowell. For the occasion, she rocked an olive power suit by Victoria Beckham. The royal also paid tribute to the late queen by wearing her famous Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings. The Prince and Princess of Wales attended a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, marking Middleton's official return after a two-year hiatus. She stunned in butter-yellow—the same color her cousin-in-law, Zara Tindall, wore three days before. Middleton's statement hat had a surprise connection to her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle. Seven days after Middleton stepped out for a concert in a belted blazer dress, her cousin-in-law, Princess Beatrice, donned the same outfit at the FEVO Sport Industry Awards 2025 in London. Madame Tussauds London debuted a brand-new Kate Middleton wax figure, which includes a touching tribute to Princess Diana. Prince William showed his sporty side during a surprise visit to the Leith Community Centre in Scotland, and his body language spoke volumes. In honor of their seventh wedding anniversary, Markle paid tribute to Harry with a heartwarming collage that details their love story. It features several PDA pics and a sweet image of Prince Archie kissing Lilibet. Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, shared a vintage photo of their maternal grandfather, Maurice Fermoy, and his twin brother, Frank. Sarah Ferguson served as a guest speaker at the Foreign Sisters Lunch in support of Cancer Research UK. Duchess Sophie used Middleton's favorite parenting move while speaking with staff and students at the Royal School for the Blind Charity. Princess Eugenie shared a few highlights on Instagram after attending this year's Garden Party with her sister, Princess Beatrice. Princess Eugenie also visited Horatio's Garden at Salisbury District Hospital and met with people with spinal injuries. Want all the latest royal family news sent right to your inbox? Click here.

Buckingham Palace Posts Super Striking Photo of King Charles and His Son Standing Side by Side
From surprise appearances from other members to fun candids of the King and Queen, you can always count on the Buckingham Palace IG for the best snapshots and updates of the royal family. And this latest post puts the spotlight on the King and Prince honoring a rare royal tradition. On Friday, May 16, Buckingham Palace shared a striking slideshow of King Charles and Prince William taking on an unusual royal tradition dating back to medieval times. The pair were attending the Service for the Order of the Bath, a ceremony that takes place every four years. "The order was established by George I in 1725, though its origins go back to medieval times when part of the ceremony of knighthood included a ritual bath symbolic of spiritual purification," Buckingham Palace writes. In the first photo, we see the royal father and son standing side-by-side wearing bold red cloaks over their traditional military garb and adornments at Westminster Abbey. See the full post down below. The Service for the Order of the Bath celebrates and honors military officials and senior civil servants. "Celebrating the 300th anniversary of Order of the Bath. For three centuries, the order has recognized exceptional military and civil achievements across the UK and the Commonwealth," the caption read.

King Charles rose to the Sovereign of the Order during his last visit in 2022 when he was the Prince of Wales. Now, with new roles and titles in place, the heir will attend every ceremony as the new Great Master, while Charles will attend every other one (every eight years). Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images After the heir's strange positioning on the royal balcony during VE Day, it's great to see the pair taking on royal duties together. Hopefully, this summer will bring on more rare shared appearances from the duo. Want all the latest royal news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
