Prince William's relatable parenting nightmare after Prince George and Princess Charlotte's 'massive fight'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Prince William gave hope to parents everywhere when he revealed even future kings have to deal with stroppy children. The Prince of Wales shared there's often a "massive fight" between Prince George and Charlotte "most mornings" - and judging by the hilarious mimicking from Prince Louis, it won't be long until he's squabbling with his siblings too. Over the years fans have been treated to many adorable insights into the bond between Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, including the indulgent dinner the kids like to make for mom, Kate Middleton. And even though they largely get on great, it's a fact that all siblings bicker every now and then, and according to Prince William there's often a reason for a 'massive fight' between George and Charlotte. Speaking in an episode of Apple Fitness + series Time to Walk in 2021, the Prince of Wales explained that music is a huge passion his children share, but they don't see eye-to-eye on songs. So much so, that their determination to have their own choice of music played apparently leads to frequent arguments. Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family by Tom Quinn, | Was $26.64, Now $18.17 at Amazon Tom Quinn utilizes testimonies from palace staff and historical sources to paint a fascinating picture of what it's like growing up in the Royal Family. This book delves into the traditions that surround royal parenting and reveals shocking and hilarious anecdotes about royal children Deal "What I've been amazed by is how much my children already have inherited my family's love of music. Most mornings there's a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played in the morning," the future King explained. He then went on to share the solution he implemented to minimize this, revealing that he has to "basically prioritize" that on one day someone gets to choose the music and then someone else takes a turn on another day. Prince William said, "So George gets his go, then Charlotte gets her go. Such is the, the clamour for the music." "One of the songs that the children are loving at the moment is Shakira, Waka Waka. There's a lot of hip movements going along with a lot of dressing up," Prince William continued. "Charlotte particularly is running around the kitchen, in her dresses and ballet stuff. She goes completely crazy with Louis following her around trying to do the same thing." Since Prince William revealed the reason there was often a "massive fight" between Prince George and Charlotte it's possible that the bickering has stopped, thanks to him deciding they should take turns. Although now Prince Louis is older they will perhaps be having to adjust their morning routine at Adelaide Cottage to ensure he gets a say too. During his time in Singapore at the Earthshot Prize Awards, the Prince of Wales reportedly told One Republic, who performed at the ceremony, that Prince Louis is a huge fan. "I can't thank you enough. You were amazing. What a way to start the show. That was incredible," he is understood to have said. "Louis, my youngest, loves your songs." Meanwhile, Prince George supposedly enjoys a slightly different genre of music. Per the Daily Mail, the Prince of Wales spoke with people during a walkabout over the coronation weekend including Caroline Mulvihill, a member of the Rock Choir. "We were talking about the kind of music we do in Rock Choir and Will was telling us in their household they have a very diverse music taste and George is very much into AC/DC and Led Zeppelin," she declared.

Shakira's On-Stage Fall Goes Viral, But Fans Say She 'Handled It Like A Boss'
A recent stop on Shakira's "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour" didn't go quite as planned, but the global superstar proved once again why she's one of the most beloved performers in the business. On Tuesday, May 20, while performing at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Shakira experienced a mid-show mishap. During her performance of the 2001 classic "Whenever, Wherever," fan footage shared to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, shows the 48-year-old icon lose her balance while swaying on stage and slip sideways onto the ground, just as she was about to start singing the first verse. But in true Shakira fashion, the fall didn't faze her. The "Waka Waka" star quickly stood up and continued performing without missing a beat, drawing praise across social media for her grace and resilience. She even acknowledged the slip herself by reposting the fall in a now-expired Instagram Stories, according to fans who captured it on X. "She handled it like the boss that she is," one fan wrote. Another added, "A great example of resilience! I hope she didn't get injured. Such falls cause pains and injuries the next morning." A third user simply called her "Mother." One more fan noted, "Shakira, the queen of turning falls into unforgettable moments, how great!" This isn't the first hiccup Shakira has faced on her current tour. Back in February, the singer was forced to cancel a show in Peru after being hospitalized for an abdominal issue. She shared the news via Instagram Stories on February 16, explaining that her doctors advised her to cancel her scheduled performance that night at the National Stadium in Lima, the first of two back-to-back shows in the city. Despite the setbacks, Shakira's tour has been an electrifying celebration of her latest album "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," and her Montreal slip has only endeared her more to fans who admire her ability to power through with confidence and charisma. As expected, one of the most significant moments of the concert is when she belts out her iconic hit, "Hips Don't Lie." "That's a song that is timeless and performed for every single tour and every single performance," she told USA Today ahead of her first show. "It was one of the first songs that had a reggaeton sound back in the day when it was a niche thing to do. I remember having discovered this groove from Puerto Rico and I started playing with it and decided to build a track on that (rhythmic) pattern. I never knew that years later it would have such an impact." Kicking off in Rio de Janeiro on February 11, the North American leg of the tour continues with upcoming stops in cities like Boston, Toronto, Miami, Detroit, Houston, and San Diego. "There are 145 people on this tour to make it happen every night," she said. "I've created original music for the transitions in the show, new choreography and arrangements. I have 13 costume changes, so all of what I've learned these years of making music, I feel like this is a recap of that journey." The singer went on to praise her loyal fans because, without them, none of this would be possible. "It's more than a concert," Shakira said of the impact. "It's not about my ego. It's a community and a union and a dialogue between the audience and an artist that has dedicated her entire life to making music that has been the soundtrack to their lives. I feel this identification that is truly unique. I've never seen more loyal, more militant fans. They protect me against anyone and lift me up when I need them the most." The tour is set to wrap up on June 30 in San Francisco. As Shakira's fans already know, nothing keeps her down for long.

The 'Waka Waka' singer took a spill onstage during a stop on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour in Montreal, Canada, resulting in an unexpected deviation from her usual choreography. In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) May 20, the 48-year-old appeared to slip while performing her 2001 single 'Whenever, Wherever.' Fortunately, she was able to break her fall and quickly got back on her feet to continue the number. Shakira—who shares kids Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10, with ex Gerard Piqué—later appeared to take the slip in stride as she reshared a clip of the incident in a since-expired post her Instagram Stories, as seen in a screen recording posted on X.

Kolisi reflected on his friendship with Nic Holton, a bond that goes back to their time at Grey High School. Nic wasn't just a classmate; he was a lifeline. 'He helped me with my homework, taught me some English, and I taught him a bit of isiXhosa,' Siya once shared. Nic visited Siya in Zwide, played rugby with his local club, and tasted real Kasi life. The respect runs deep, so much so that Siya named his son after Nic. Siya Kolisi and Nic. Picture: Instagram Their brotherhood was also featured in Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story on Showmax, where Siya credits Nic as one of the people who shaped him into the man he is today.

(It's tough!).

Siya made sure the joy was contagious. Even off the rugby field, his leadership and humour shine through. And since his separation from Rachel Kolisi, announced in October 2024, Siya seems to be prioritising time with friends and family, and doing the things that make his heart happy. Wherever Siya goes, the party follows Rugby pitch, a wedding in Peru, or a tourist stroll through Spain, one thing's for sure, Siya Kolisi brings the fun and favour. It's no wonder Mzansi crowned him the Minister of Enjoyment.
