During the Trooping the Colour celebrations in 2016, Prince William was told off by the Queen for a break in royal etiquette on the Buckingham Palace balcony

Trooping the Colour is just around the corner, with Buckingham Palace and the Royal Family preparing to celebrate the King’s official birthday.

During the event, which is a landmark event in the royal calendar, the family join together on the famous Buckingham Palace balcony to marvel in the Royal Air Force flypast. While this part of the day’s celebration is often the most memorable, it is not always smooth sailing for the royals. Several years ago, back in 2016, one member of the royal family was ‘scolded’ by the late Queenfor an unexpected reason. Prince William seemed to irk his late grandmother while standing on the balcony during the flypast, earning him a stern word from the monarch.

As Princess Charlotte, who was making her Trooping the Colour debut just after her first birthday, was being held by Kate, young Prince George was being looked after by William.

Standing at the front of the balcony, George – who was just three years old at the time – peered over the ledge to wave to the thousands of people gathered around the Palace. As William crouched down to speak to his young son and explain the flypast, he was temporarily out of sight from the huge crowd of onlookers.

The Queen was clearly unimpressed that the crowds would not have been able to see him, Her Majesty appeared to berate her grandson by saying: “stand up William. Don’t crouch.” Of course, the prince did as he was told and rose immediately, looking rather sheepish.

The telling off during the fly past was not the first occasion the monarch has put her foot down with her grandson, as William explained in a Sky News documentary to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday in 2016.

At the time, the Prince of Wales spoke candidly about an incident in his childhood that landed him in hot water with his grandmother, as he and his cousin Peter Philips were caught misbehaving while riding a quad bike at Balmoral.

He said: “We were chasing Zara around who was on a go-kart, and Peter and I managed to herd Zara into a lamppost and the lamppost came down and nearly squashed her.”

“I remember my grandmother being the first person out at Balmoral running across the lawn in her kilt. She came charging over and gave us the most almighty b******ing, and that sort of stuck in my mind from that moment on.”

As heir to the throne, William made his Trooping the Colour balcony debut before his first birthday in 1984. In 2011, newly married William took part in his first Trooping the Colour parade and rode on horseback , which he is expected to do again this year.

The Trooping the Colour event, which takes place every year in June, has been held to mark the sovereign’s official birthday since the accession of King George IV in 1820, except during the world wars and a national strike in 1955. In 2020, a scaled-back version of the celebration was held at Windsor Castle due to the Covid pandemic.

Trooping the Colour 2025, officially known as The King’s Birthday Parade, will take place on Saturday June 14, in London.

While the asymmetric hemline and tassel trim add a playful, summery twist that makes it feel that bit more elevated than your standard one shoulder top. Even Michelle herself raved about how the fit is “really flattering”

Paired with the matching skirt, you’ve got a dreamy holiday look that works for any occasion from sunset cocktails to a daytime brunch.

The figure-hugging fit of the skirt shows off your silhouette without feeling too clingy, and the tassels bring some fun movement to the look. Not to mention tassels are right on trend thanks to the cowboycore renaissance we’ve been having.

To style this co-ord we recommend teaming it with a pair of toe-ring sandals and some oversized sunnies, and you’re good to go.

Whether you’ve got a holiday booked or just want to bring some glam to your summer wardrobe, this is the kind of set that will reel in all the compliments.

Another style moment we’ve loved recently comes from fellow actress Emily Atack. Emily recently praised Boden as the perfect place to shop if you’ve got bigger boobs. And the Paloma Jersey Maxi Dress, priced £98, is one of her current go-tos.

The local council gives a ‘prior determination notification’ so that he can construct a barn for hay and equipment despite earlier protest from neighbours

David Beckham has won his latest battle with neighbours over plans for his rural retreat. Local planners have issued a ‘prior determination notification’ which states that he can construct a barn for hay, straw and agricultural equipment – despite opposition. One exasperated local complained: ‘Why do famous people move to the country… then make silly alterations?’ The England legend was seeking planning permission for the timber-clad structure at the £6m property in the Cotswolds.

Beckham, 50, keeps bees and chickens at his country bolthole which has a giant lake. His representatives asked planners at West Oxfordshire District Council for the right to create an “agricultural storage barn for hay/straw and agricultural equipment”. Angry villager Harriet Jones had told the council in a letter of objection.

She did not name David Beckham but made a reference to ‘famous people’ moving to the country: “This is just the latest in a long line of applications to build new structures on this land, plus a giant lake. Why do famous people move out to the country and then clutter up their land with endless buildings and make silly alterations? It makes no sense.” The plans reveal the building will have a steel frame covered in wood with a metal roof which will measure 10m by 5m. Planners will decide on the merits of the application in the coming weeks. Two years ago, David and his wife Victoria were given planning permission to transform the property near Chipping Norton, which they bought for £6m in 2016.

The pair previously got into hot water with neighbours over developments.

That included a now-withdrawn application to build a second access road into their home.

Roof space in an outbuilding was also to be turned into offices.

Documents reveal the barn has been given the go ahead.

They have also been granted planning permission to construct a kitchen garden and glasshouse so that they could grow their own fruit and vegetables.

The star has just been named as the latest guest editor of a magazine long regarded as the hunting, shooting and fishing set’s house journal.

He follows in the footsteps of the King who has twice guest-edited Country Life.

He filled the role for his 65th birthday in 2013 and his 70th in 2018.

In 2020, the Princess Royal masterminded an issue on her 70th, while the Queen, as Duchess of Cornwall, marked her 75th in 2022.

Beckham is set to be knighted in the King’s birthday honours list on Saturday.

He said he was looking forward to helping to ‘produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family’.

MTV host Ananda Lewis has sadly died after a long fight with breast cancer. She had a heartwrenching regret when it came to her diagnosis

MTV presenter Ananda Lewis spoke candidly about one heartbreaking regret before her death.

The iconic TV personality was best known for her stint as an MTV host during the network’s “veejay” era in the late 1990s. Sadly, on Wednesday, 11 June, it was confirmed that she had tragically passed away after a long fight with breast cancer.

Ananda revealed her ongoing struggle with stage 3 breast cancer in October 2020, two years after being diagnosed. Taking to Instagram with a video, she spoke about her diagnosis and heartbreakingly admitted to having delayed regular mammograms due to her fear of radiation exposure.

In the video, she said: “I would have probably had 3 or 4 mammograms by the time they caught [the breast cancer]. Instead, I have had to have two PET scans so far. Guess how many mammograms worth of radiation a PET scan is worth? 30! So 60 mammograms. You do the math!

“If I had done the mammograms from the time they were recommended, when I turned 40, they would have caught the tumor in my breast years before I caught it through my own breast exam, and they would have caught it at a place where the treatment of it would have been a little easier.”

She captioned the post: “This is tough for me, but if just ONE woman decides to get her mammogram after watching this, what I’m going through will be worth it.”

Women between the ages of 50 and 71, who are registered with a GP, are invited for their NHS breast screening every three years. The NHS shares that the main symptoms of breast cancer in women are:

• Lump, or swelling, in your breast, chest or armpit
• Change in the skin of your breast, such as dimpling (may look like orange peel) or redness (may be harder to see on black or brown skin)
• Change in the size or shape of one or both breasts
• Nipple discharge (if you are not pregnant or breastfeeding), which may have blood in it
• Change in the shape or look of your nipple, such as it turning inwards (inverted nipple) or a rash on it (may look like eczema)
• Pain in your breast or armpit, which does not go away – breast pain that comes and goes is usually not a symptom of breast cancer

In an interview with CNN in 2024, Ananda shared the devastating news that her breast cancer had advanced to stage 4 after she initially refused to undergo a mastectomy as part of her treatment. She explained that they wanted her to have a double mastectomy, but it was something she “was not ready for”.

Instead, Ananda opted to focus on making changes she had control over. The TV star said: “My plan at first was to get out the excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent. I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made. I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way.

“Looking back on that, I go, ‘You know what? Maybe I should have [had a double mastectomy]’. My lymph system really flared up. It was the first time I ever had a conversation with death because I felt like, this is how it is.”

Ananda’s sister, Lakshmi, confirmed that Ananda passed away at 11:35am at her home in Los Angeles, where she was receiving hospice care. In tribute, Lakshmi shared an emotional post on Facebook which read: “She’s free and in His heavenly arms [heart emojis]. Lord, rest her soul [prayer hands emoji].”
