The Truth About Prince William, Kate Middleton's Secret Yacht Vacation in Greece
Wondering how Prince William and Kate Middleton have been spending the summer—aside from showing up to the occasional event and looking posh? Apparently, they took a secret vacation on board a £40 million superyacht off the coast of Greece. And it's been kept almost entirely under-the-radar until now (honestly, even the reporting that does exist is a little murky). According to the Daily Mail, stories began popping up in Greek media around July 19 that the Prince and Princess of Wales were "enjoying the largesse of Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a prominent member of the UAE royal family." The outlet also notes that the story of Will and Kate's trip was "ignored by the British media" but picked up around the world, with locals and eyewitnesses claiming they were seen. the truth? Per the Daily Mail, the Prince and Princess were were actually on the Almax, "one of the world's first fuel-cell superyachts which is estimated to be worth £40 million" and is described as a "huge milestone in the future of sustainable boating." Prince William and his daughter Princess Charlotte left the trip to watch the Lionesses in the Euros final (which took place in Switzerland), and apparently the entire family is now back in England. that on that!

(File Photo/AP and Freepik) In a July 10, 2019 report, South China Morning Post provided a breakdown of the diet, and said, 'Sources claim Kate Middleton went on the Dukan Diet before the royal wedding with Prince William and after her pregnancy to shed excess weight. With numerous diet regimens to choose from, what makes this European diet so appealing?' Some experts have raised concerns about the diet's safety, due to its restrictive nature. Therefore, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting this or any new diet. That said, ahead is everything you should know about the Dukan Diet. What are the 4 phases of the Dukan Diet? The diet consists of four phases, each with specific guidelines and restrictions. Consuming oat bran is a crucial part of the diet, with varying amounts required in each phase. 'The Dukan Diet will redesign your eating habits and help you permanently stabilise your weight,' as per the Dukan Diet website, which lists the following four phases of the diet: 1. Attack Phase: This initial phase involves eating only protein-rich foods for 1-7 days, depending on weight loss goals. Allowed foods include lean meats, fish, eggs, and low-fat dairy products. You'll also need to consume 6-8 cups of water daily and take 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran. 2. Cruise Phase: In this phase, you'll introduce vegetables to your diet, along with protein-rich foods. This phase can last several weeks. Recommended daily activities include 30 minutes of brisk walking and taking 2 tablespoons of oat bran. 3. Consolidation Phase: Gradually introduce other foods to your diet, but still maintain some restrictions. This phase is split into two halves, with the first half being stricter than the second. You'll take 2 tablespoons of oat bran daily. 4. Stabilisation Phase: Focus on maintaining weight loss by following the 'Attack Phase' diet one day a week and taking 3 tablespoons of oat bran daily. Foods allowed on the Dukan Diet Lean meats, fish, eggs, and low-fat dairy products are staples of the Dukan Diet. The diet restricts carbohydrate intake, focusing on protein-rich foods and vegetables. 'During his research, Pierre Dukan identified 100 allowed foods that contain the essential nutrients for our bodies that have tremendous benefits and are rich in protein, low in carbohydrates and fat. You can eat as much as you want from the Dukan Diet food list during the four phases of the Dukan Diet,' according to the note on the official website.

Kate Middleton's 'beautiful' gingham blouse 'perfect for summer' is back in stock
The Princess of Wales is a fan of the timeless print, having been seen in the pink gingham blouse when she was decorating cakes with her children in a video for Kensington Palace Princess of Wales Kate Middleton never fails to impress with her public wardrobe choices, particularly with her love of timeless prints like polka dots and florals. Behind the scenes, her more off-duty attire is equally as chic if not a little more casual, including a gingham blouse that's recently seen a restock in time for summer getaways. The royal was seen wearing a gorgeous pink gingham button up shirt in a video posted on the Kensington Royal Instagram back in 2022. Princess Catherine could be seen decorating cakes with her children wearing the Brora Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse, which comes in at £129. Naturally, immediately after being spied on the 43-year-old, it sold out, but is back in stock in all sizes from 6-18. And due to its classic print, it is still as trendy today as it was three years ago - and will remain so for years to come. The blouse comes in a peony pink gingham print in a seersucker fabric, which is ideal for those who want low maintenance pieces in their wardrobe as it requires little ironing. It has a 'flattering' Chelsea collar - a silhouette we've seen plenty of in 2025 - with frill detailing and a half sleeve, which was a great choice for Kate's baking activity, but is also great for the warmer weather. For those looking for a more affordable alternative or slightly different colourway, Nobody's Child has this Gingham Birdie Blouse for £59. It comes in pink or green gingham, as well as a plain white option, with long balloon sleeves and scalloped edging on the collar. Brora Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse £129 Brora Buy here Product Description Elsewhere, Joanie is offering this Marsha Scallop Collar Blouse in plain pink with a contrast trim. It's usually £59, but shoppers can currently use the code SUMMER40 to save on the piece, taking it down to £35.40. The Brora Gingham Blouse has earned a number of five star reviews from shoppers, some loving it so much that they've bought multiple variations of it. One said: 'Both pretty and smart. Beautifully made and comfortable to wear. So versatile that I have bought another one in blue.' Someone else shared: 'Nice fit, good cotton for English weather,' with a third commenting: 'I've rarely gotten more compliments than I have while wearing this lovely blouse.' One shopper mentioned that they had to 'size up' due to the cut of the fabric. They said: 'Not a biggie, but beware if it's something that bothers you - the sizing is made for a more 'straight silhouette', so I had to size up to a 14 because it clung to my hips and pooled at the back in a weird way and then I had to use a pin to gather the excess material around the waist.' Someone else left a glowing review which reads: 'I love the Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse, I own two. Beautiful design and colour, great quality fabric and sewing work. It's not too long or too short, you can tuck it in or leave it out. V cut is not too low, it's just right. Perfect for spring and summer.' Another brand that Kate is a fan of is Monica Vinader, often accessorising her looks with their jewellery pieces. One specific piece that has been sported by Princess Kate on several occasions, including during a visit to Copenhagen in 2022 and in London in 2023, is the Nura Pearl Necklace. This necklace, crafted from 18k gold vermeil and pearl, has seen a reduction of £19, bringing the price down to £110 in the summer sale. For shoppers looking to steal the Princess of Wales' style with her Brora blouse, it's available here for £129.

Princess Kate could soon get the one thing she doesn't have
Imagine the hell of being friends with Kate, The Princess of Wales at Christmas time. What the dickens do you buy for a woman whose family has a trove of Fabergé eggs, 550 plus Leonardo da Vinci sketches and a handwritten copy of Princess Maragaret's secret weapon sloe gin fizz recipe? A Jo Malone candle is not exactly going to cut it. And yet, there is one thing that Kate does not have — a castle. It now looks like the Princess of Wales could be getting one. MORE: Prince Williams' dodgy $1.5b property empire revealed Over the weekend the Daily Mail revealed that Kate and her husband Prince William are looking at upsizing from their comparatively weeny four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage to the vast Fort Belvedere. Technically, it's not a castle, fine. But the Fort, as it's known, has about 40 rooms, eight bedrooms, boasts crenellated towers and turrets, and used to have canons from the 1745 Jacobite uprising positioned on its battlements. But wait there's more; specifically 59 acres, stables, a pool, a tennis court, a rose garden, walled garden, kitchen garden, large greenhouse, two lakes, paddocks and three separate homes for staff. Built nearly 300-years-ago, the Fort was where Edward VIII abdicated and is far more in line suitable digs for two future Kings, a future Queen and their growing collections of Latin textbooks, clarinet cases and ceremonial sashes than anywhere with the word 'cottage' in its title. It would be a significant step up for the family on the royal real estate ladder. MORE: Fresh twist in $57m Royal family feud A well-connected source told the Mail that William and Kate 'feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial. This is the perfect new home for them.' The Fort would be all but perfect given that 'William and Kate are said to put a high value on privacy and a rural setting'. The Waleses moving to The Fort would make sense both for completely relatable reasons — teenagers need and want more space — but also uniquely royal ones. For William and Kate the inexorable long march towards the throne continues. This sort of far grander home is in line with the fact that King Charles has been quietly handing the Prince and Princess of Wales more power and more responsibility. William has been busy stretching his statesman legs, repositioning himself as someone rubbing shoulders and agendas with world leaders. Last year he was the first senior British representative to meet with a re-elected Donald Trump, represented the King at Pope Francis' funeral and in June delivered what his closest aides deemed a 'punchy', 'landmark speech', per The Times. Meanwhile Charles has recognised Kate's work, rewarding her and singling her out by making her the first Princess of Wales since Mary of Teck in 1910 to be allowed to issue her own royal warrants. (Diana, Princess of Wales was never granted such a boon.) The Princess will soon wield the billion-dollar power of being able to slap her official royal seal of approval on her favourite products and businesses, which could see her officially confirm everything from where she gets her hair done to who does her facials to where she buys her wine — all royal warrants that Queen Camilla has doled out. There are other big family changes afoot for William and Kate. Prince George could be on the cusp of leaving home, sort of. (Anyone else suddenly feel a bit old?). George, 12, has only one year left of primary school and in just over 12 months he will begin his secondary schooling with $129,000-a-year Eton, where William went, strongly favoured as the likeliest choice. (Kate's alma mater, Marlborough College is a strong runner up). While the Prince and Princess have until now bucked tradition and not sent their son off to board at age eight years old, as both Charles and William were, at Eton there will be no choice. It also remains to be seen what the coming year looks like for the Princess given it was only this month she admitted that she had struggled 'to function normally' after finishing her cancer treatment last year. The 43-year-old's last minute withdrawal from Ascot in June — her essentially cancelling on the King and Queen at the last minute, decidedly not normally the done thing — was a reminder that we are still a way away from normal. For now though, according to the Mail, the Prince and Princess are said to be 'considering their options' and 'no move is imminent'. The biggest winner if they do move into the Fort — Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. Charles fought and lost an embarrassing battle to turf his exiled brother and his ex-wife out of his home Royal Lodge with a reported view to the Waleses being handed the keys. For now though, William and Kate and future Annabel's 20236 members George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have bigger things to worry about. The arrival of August means it's Balmoral season and the royal family's mass migration north to Scotland, bringing with it salmon burgers for everyone, bagsing being allowed to skip the Highland Games and arguing over whose turn it is to have a go of the barbecue tongs.
