Sam Thompson shared his immense pride after meeting King Charles – but admitted he had a mortifying moment. The former Made In Chelsea man was beaming with joy as she showed off the proud moment he met the Royal Family at the King’s Trust Awards on Wednesday.

Taking to Instagram, Sam, 32, looked extremely smart as she shook the monarch’s hand. He was pictured alongside magician Dynamo at the annual event at Buckingham Palace. And he also shared a reel of snaps from the day, including a group shot which featured the likes of George Clooney, Declan Donnelly and Jamie Laing.

Sam, however, acknowledged in his caption that he had made a huge faux pas while speaking to the King, writing, “Complete honour and pinch me moment yesterday to be invited to the palace.”

“A massive thank you to @kingstrust and @theroyalfamily. I am lucky enough to be able to present an award to Taylor who is an incredibly special human.

After a brief period of time with him, I believe that his story will appeal to many young men his age, and I am aware that this is just the beginning.

Sam then added: “Also called the king ‘mate’ which was mortifying but he was cool about it!” The post was liked by almost 100,000 of his followers, including best pal Pete Wicks.

And the group snap also left Melvin Odoom joking the pair pulled the short straw. In the comments section of Sam’s upload, the radio star and former I’m A Celebrity contestant joked: “You and me got done dirty at the back,” while finishing with a crying with laughter emoji face.

Sam hasn’t responded to his pal, but his sister also wrote, “Not Sammy t sneaking into the same picture as George and Amal Clooney.”

The group photo was shared with a touching caption on the Royal Family’s official Instagram page. Our King’s Trust Award winners and celebrity ambassadors had the honor of attending a lavish reception at Buckingham Palace with our Royal Founding President, His Majesty The King, on Tuesday.

“This memorable event celebrated their remarkable achievements ahead of tomorrow’s award show. The awards honour those who have been supported by The Trust, and those who mentor them, in the UK and across the world.

We take great pride in the extraordinary accomplishments of our young people and volunteers, who continue to inspire us all.

The event saw a number of famous faces hit the red carpet at the event. Alongside Sam was George Clooney as Hollywood’s royalty got in on the occasion.

Kate Garraway also looked amazing in a patterned gown, while reality TV stars including Jamie Laing and pregnant Sophie Habboo were in attendance.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez ‘secretly married’ before Venice wedding celebration

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez may have kicked off a lavish three-day celebration in Venice on Thursday, but behind the scenes, the couple has already tied the knot – weeks ago.

According to a well-placed insider involved in the event planning: “They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.”

Though this week’s festivities have been widely billed as their wedding, the source revealed it’s purely ceremonial. “When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married,” the insider said.

Because the legal marriage has already occurred, there was no need for a license in Italy. “There is no application for a wedding licence from the couple because it was not required. Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding.

“Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning,” they told Mail Online.

The same source added that Bezos himself confirmed the legal union and noted the pair had arranged a prenuptial agreement to safeguard his $244 billion fortune.

Bezos and Sánchez reportedly married privately in the U.S., well before the high-profile Venetian celebration began.

The couple arrived in Venice this week ahead of their lavish wedding celebrations, which will take place over the next few days. A helicopter picked Bezos and his bride-to-be up from his superyacht Koru’s support ship, the Albeona.

They were docked just off the coast of Croatia, with the chopped taking 61-year-old Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, 55, to the city of Venice. It landed in the Venice Lido, which is where the annual Venice Film Festival takes place.

To kicked proceedings off on Thursday night, a casual welcome dinner will be held at the 14th Century Madonna dell’Orto church. Local sources claim security is ultra-tight, turning the stunning city into a “fortress-like operation”.

The ceremony was expected to take place at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, an historic 16th-century building in the city centre. But the No Space for Bezos campaign group claim the couple scrambled to change their plans, after activists threatened to block the canals with inflatable crocodiles to stop their guests from attending.

Instead, it’s been moved to Arsenale, a shipyard complex which will be near-impossible for protestors to get to. Lauren Sanchez and her husband-to-be arrived, with Lauren wearing oversized black sunglasses and a simple black halterneck dress.

Meanwhile, their high-profile guests have begun to descend on the city. Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka arrived with her husband Jared Kushner. She wore a green dress and canvas sunhat as she arrived by boat after a day of sightseeing. The couple’s three children, Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick and Theodore James, joined them.

Other guests to arrive early include Jeff’s adoptive father Miguel Bezos, as well as Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Just 11 people live on the island and its only dwelling is a modest five-bedroom home, previously the guesthouse to a convent which was part of a long-destroyed monastery complex.

The Mirror has approached the representatives of Jeff for comment on this story.

Princess Andre looks incredible in modelling debut as she storms runway in beachwear

At the Ibiza Fashion Festival 2025, which Jenny Powell, the daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, modeled beachwear earlier this month.

Model Princess Andre made her runway debut at an event abroad recently as she continues to pursue opportunities in the fashion industry. The teenager took part in this year’s Ibiza Fashion Festival, where she graced the catwalk.

Princess, 17, was among those who helped open the festival at Bibo Park in Ibiza on June 12. The event, which was hosted by presenter Jenny Powell, is described as an independent sustainable fashion show on the island off the coast of Spain.

It was previously announced that 10 designers would have their work showcased at Ibiza Fashion Festival this year. They follow in the footsteps of swimwear brand Naia Beach, co-founded by Tess Daly, which headlined last year.

Princess – who is the youngest Katie Price’s two children with Peter Andre – is said to have opened the festival two weeks ago. She represented the beachwear brand Greta, which has a flagship store in the Dominican Republic, at the event.

Princess modeled an outfit from a brand collection during the photo shoot. On the catwalk at the venue, she is seen posing with a coordinated pair of pants and a blue bikini top.

Princess’ first runway appearance comes after she made her modelling debut for PrettyLittleThing last year after having collaborated with the fashion retailer previously. There had been speculation prior that a deal between Princess and the brand could be worth a four-figure fee.

Earlier this year, she teased that she would “love” to have her own makeup range. Her mother Katie, 47, has given her name to makeup lines over the years, including her having once collaborated with the brand Revolution Beauty.

Princess has expressed hope in becoming “very successful” and once teased that she would like to be a millionaire in the near future. She told the Sun last year that she wants to “achieve so many things” and be her “own person”.

She continued, “I just want to be very successful.” She then continued to address rumors that she would have made a million dollars by the age of 20. That sounds amazing, she is reportedly saying. My objective is unquestionably higher.

Princess opened up about her ambitions in an interview with OK! magazine recently ahead of her 18th birthday this weekend. She shared that she’s inspired by Kylie Jenner, 27, and Molly-Mae Hague, 26, who have their own brands.

She continued, “The goal is to lead these women in developing a truly successful business and brand.” That’s the main thing I’m looking forward to most in life.

Princess continued, “The fact that I won’t be a child any longer opens up more opportunities. More and more brands want to collaborate with you as you get older. Being 18 will leave me with a lot more of my own responsibilities, but I’m really focused on making the right decisions for my future with the right people in front of me.

Rihanna’s dad Ronald Fenty’s cause of death confirmed after ‘brief illness’

The father of Rihanna’s death has been confirmed. Last month, Ronald Fenty passed away at the age of 70.

According to his death certificate, a number of issues have been responsible for Ronald’s death. According to reports, the singer’s father passed away from pneumonia, cancer, and other serious conditions. He passed away on May 30 at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

According to the 70-year-old’s death certificate, respiratory failure and pancreatic cancer are both suspected to be causes. Acute renal failure and acute tubular necrosis are other possible causes, according to the document. Both conditions cause extensive kidney damage.

Stateside publication TMZ has seen the death certificate. Starcom Network News, a well-known radio station with a base in Barbados, first learned of his death.

At the end of last month, family members reportedly gathered in California to pay their respects and honor Ronald’s memory. The heartbreaking news comes as Rihanna, who is also known as Robyn Fenty, and her partner A $AP Rocky are expecting their third child.

When Rihanna’s mother, Monica Braithwaite, was just a teenager, Ronald and Rihanna divorced. His daughter, who had accused him of using her name to benefit his own entertainment company, filed a lawsuit against him even though she later dropped it in 2021.

In response to a challenging time in their relationship, she had previously paid for her father to undergo a $58,000 Malibu rehab. Due to his alcohol abuse, she sent him home from her tour at the time.

A source told Daily Mail that despite the pair’s complicated relationship, Ronald’s passing has had a significant impact on the singer. The source told the publication that despite having a difficult relationship with her father over the years, his passing has hit her like a brick.

Being pregnant and dealing with ASAP’s legal issues have been emotional roller coasters for her over the past few months, and the latter became even more so as her father started to get sick.

“She is exactly where she is right now, and it still feels completely heartbreaking as soon as you realize something like this is happening.”

Ronald recalled fondly being a granddad after the birth of Rihanna’s first child. She’s loving it, he said at the time. She is a very overprotective mother.

He claimed at the time, “Everyone says the baby looks like me.” “But you’re aware that faces and babies change. He resembles Rihanna and Rocky a lot.

Rihanna broke the news about the third child she was expecting with at the 2025 Met Gala. She continued to walk outside in baggy outfits concealing her stomach, stoking the possibility that another child might be arriving before the event.

A large garden is not required with this four-piece collection. These compact towers can be easily maintained as compact towers with pruning and will grow well in patio planters. They can also be planted directly into your lawn or allotment at home, too. If these Pillar Trees are given an annual trimming, they will start out as delicious full-sized trees the first year after planting and only grow up to 1.5 meters. This makes them ideal for any-sized outdoor space.

Customers can enjoy delightful spring blossoms followed by vibrant-colored fruit for a long period of time thanks to the tubs on the patio. Four vigorous, quick-growing self-fertile varieties are included in the collection. One of the following categories will be the four.

Cherry Sunburst, a plant that is easy to grow and productive, produces luscious black cherries that are excellent when picked straight from the tree. The large, dark red/black cherries have a distinctive cherry flavor and are juicy and sweet. Customers may be surprised by the flavor of fresh cherries straight from your own tree, whether you’ve grown them at home before or have only ever consumed store-bought treats.

The Fantasy Nectarine, which is billed as one of the best UK nectarines, is another item in the set. The “Fantasy” is adaptable to constantly changing conditions, such as the UK’s climate, because it is easy to grow and completely hardy. Can be harvested in the summer and have mouth-watering red fruit crops with juicy yellow flesh? Early harvests have a tangy, fresh flavor, while later-grown crops have a sweet, rich flavor.

In this lucky dip selection, Gardening Express will provide two or three apple trees because some apples are self-fertile but always benefit from having a companion nearby. Because they are widely available in stores, these beloved apples can now be grown on their own. These varieties produce a lot of juicy, crisp fruit with heavy cropping. Enjoy using the tree or store until the winter. They are great for baking pies, making apple sauce, or even making your own fruit juice, though they are only available in some dessert varieties. The fruit can also be used to make cider with the extra pounds.

One of the nation’s favorite pears, Williams Pears, are marketed as juicy and sublime. Midway through the spring, pure white flowers appear, followed by delicious, juicy, yellowish green fruits as the summer months progress. The tree’s shape is broadly columnar, making it ideal for a sunny, open site. Use the fruit bowl filled with pears for delicious desserts, and many other things.

The Stanley Plum, a well-known commercial variety from the USA, is the last item in the lineup. One of the tastiest and most trustworthy varieties of plum on the market is reportedly this. The flesh is indulgently firm, very sweet, and juicy, covered in orange-yellow flesh that is deep violet-blue-skinned. They are also very hardy and easy to grow, making them both easy for novice gardeners and gardeners.

Jake Paul STORMS OUT of Piers Morgan interview as heated chat turns ugly

The “Problem Child” makes a comeback to the ring on Saturday night, but he was left feeling a little angry after having a heated discussion with Piers Morgan.

Jake Paul furiously STORMED OFF an interview with Piers Morgan just days before his return to action following a heated verbal exchange. The ‘Problem Child’ is scheduled to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in a cruiserweight clash in Anaheim on Saturday night.

The 28-year-old has not fought since beating former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson last November. Despite being expected to knock the boxing veteran out, the ‘Problem Child’ cruised to a victory on points.

With Paul in the final stages of preparations for the contest, the YouTuber-turned-boxer lost his cool and stormed off of an interview with Morgan following a furious exchange about the boxer’s upcoming fight and his boxing credentials. During the chat – which airs tonight on YouTube from 10pm UK time – the pair also came to blows about Paul’s controversial fight with Tyson.

The American grew more agitated before eventually fleeing in a Mexican sombrero, presumably to get into the spirit of his fight with Chavez Jr. Chavez is here on Saturday because I’m trying to fight the best people, not Mike Tyson, and that’s why.

“I want Canelo. I want Anthony Joshua. I want all these people. It’s been five years in this sport,” said Paul after Morgan responded that while Paul was a brilliant businessman, he was still fighting a 58-year-old man.

Morgan quickly cut in, replying: “But the problem is the only proper boxer you fought was Tommy Fury, and he beat you. He’s not even the best in his family.” Paul blasted back: “I mean, you can sit there and make up s***, but you actually don’t know your facts. I fought multiple boxers with professional records, and including Mike Tyson himself, who I think is going to be a harder fight than Chavez.”

Morgan quickly refuted Morgan’s claim that he would have toppled a top Tyson in a stunning claim. You don’t actually know that, Paul retorted, furious. You can’t just say that, “… Anything is possible, in my opinion. The most powerful thing in the world is self-confidence, which is why. You don’t believe I can be a Mike Tyson, he continued? You don’t go to the gym, in my opinion!

Morgan responded, “I believe you’re a fantastic influencer and YouTuber.” Although I admire your attempts to box, I do believe that everything could come to a head when you actually confront a legitimate, serious boxer, possibly Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. You seem to think that your opinion matters, Piers, because Paul spat back “brutally”: “I think the problem here is that you think your opinion matters.

Paul made a joke about how the host should have known better if he were doing his show by saying, “Oh, I’m just taking your audience to sell pay per views.” I’m not a fool about your show, you idiot. This is a f****** business. Purchase the pay-per-view on June 28 to watch Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Thank you for your patience, everyone!

The 28-year-old then turned the conversation around, leaving a bemused Piers who grinned and said, “Good luck Julio, everyone, knock him out for us, will you”

Paul had assuredly stated that he would finish the job on Saturday night before the chaos even began. I’m being so honest, man, this guy is easy work because he’s a dumb a**, and that’s going to be obvious on Saturday when he’s the one who gets knocked out.

Chavez Jr. hasn’t played much in the ring in recent years. Uriah Hall, the former middleweight champion, defeated the former UFC star after a three-year break. Chavez Jr. has already faced opponents like Andy Lee, Canelo Alvarez, and Daniel Jacobs, all of whom have a professional record of 54-6-1-1.
