Fans have been shown photos from Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright’s recent trip to Spain this week after seeing them take a trip there this week.

Fans have been given a glimpse into Michelle Keegan’s first holiday abroad with Mark Wright and their daughter Palma this week. The actor shared photos from the trip earlier as she revealed a nickname that she has given her baby.

Michelle and Mark, both 38, headed to Spain with two-month-old Palma for the vacation recently. The family spent a week on the Costa del Sol and the trip marked their first holiday abroad together, after the couple took their daughter on a “little break away” in the UK earlier this year.

Brassic star Michelle – who celebrated her birthday on Tuesday whilst on the holiday – shared photos from the experience on Instagram this evening. She tagged SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel in her post today.

One photo showed Michelle cradling Palma whilst sat at a table. Another showed them shaded from the sun in an outdoor area, with the former Coronation Street cast member covering her daughter with a blanket in it.

Michelle was also seen photographing her daughter while she was traveling. One of her beside a pushchair, along with others from the accommodations and some beverages, were included in the photo collection.

Michelle confirmed to her followers that Palma was their first holiday by confirming that she had been given the nickname Princess P in addition to the photos. The phrase “Princess P’s first family holiday” was written in the post’s title.

Michelle just recently updated, who had earlier suggested that the holiday had come to an end. The best week ever waking up to this is what she wrote in a post on her Instagram account that featured the view from her room.

In another post, which showcased one of her outfits from the trip, she wrote to her followers: “Wore my latest [Very] collection every night on holiday. Which was perfect because my holiday packing was already done months ago.”

Michelle sharing the nickname for her daughter comes after Mark spoke about the decision over Palma’s name just weeks on from her birth. Whilst on This Morning in April, he discussed the choice of name for the newborn after Siân Welby suggested there was a “lovely sort of meaning” behind it.

Mark, addressing speculation that Palma was named after the resort on Majorca, responded to the host: “Well, that’s what the papers say.” He went on to share in the interview on the ITV morning show: “We just love the name.”

We “love the name Palmer with an er,” he continued, “and then we just liked putting an a’ on the end and we just liked the way it read.” He then concluded, “So, yeah, we just love the name, really, really, on the show.”

After a slew of snubs for more than ten years, David Beckham will receive the knighthood next week. Here’s why he waited so long.

Football legend David Beckham was repeatedly denied a knighthood by the late Queen, which has since sparked much rumors over the years despite his significant charitable work.

Now, amid the family feud with Brooklyn Beckham, David will finally be awarded a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours list next week. His wife Victoria will be known as Lady Beckham. But why was he snubbed for so long?

Year after year, Beckham, now 50 and retired from professional football, had been notably absent from the honours list. In 2013, it seemed his chances were dashed when explosive emails were leaked where he reportedly lashed out at the Honours Committee for not including him on the list, referring to them as “unappreciative c***s.”

At the time, Beckham, who is paired with fashion icon Victoria Beckham, maintained the email was bogus. Compounding his frustrations, it came to light that he was particularly incensed by opera singer Katherine Jenkins receiving an honour, allegedly retorting: “Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. F****** joke.”

Now, however, David Beckham’s prospects of being knighted have been fulfilled after the monarch dropped a hint last month when Beckham greeted Charles and Queen Camilla at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Charles responded, “You got it, didn’t you?” Beckham responded, “Thank you, it was incredible. It was very kind.

However, just last year, ex-royal butler Paul Burrell said David Beckham shouldn’t hold his breath for a knighthood citing three key reasons.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Paul explained: “We haven’t seen [David Beckham knighted] yet because A, he’s not old enough and B, he hasn’t earned his stripes yet and C, he’s still in a very commercial world.

“David Beckham is everywhere. He is independently funding and marketing. Evidently, his career is about to end. And once this is over, he returns to charitable work because you saw him with William and the King.

He continued, “He’s obviously been fast tracked for a knighthood, but not just yet, and they’re keeping him dangling for a while.” Because, you’re aware, they’re anticipating what transpires. He is a wonderful ambassador for both our country and charitable foundations, in my opinion. He has demonstrated his worth, and I’m anticipating it. It will undoubtedly occur. When is the question?

The King will eventually decide when David should be knighted, Paul Paul continued. Before that honor is granted, I believe he needs to devote some more money to the King’s Trust, and I believe he’ll have to spend time with the King and William as well.

He is, however, persuaded that David only needed a little more time. He continued, “He only needs to be more patient because it’s a much sought after honour, it’s one that has eluded him, but it will come his way.” It is moving in that direction. Although it is not yet in the mail, it is. His name appears on the desk of the King!

Now that it has been revealed that Paul was entirely correct, more time was all that was required.

After years of being “snubbed” because of a family feud for the Beckhams, David Beckham is reportedly set to receive a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours list.

Victoria Beckham, David Beckham’s wife, will receive a new title as a former football player receives a knighthood. David has been “snubbed” from receiving a knighthood for a number of years, but it has now been revealed he will be listed among the King’s Birthday Honours list.

It is anticipated that David will reportedly become a “Sir” next week, just months after it was revealed that he allegedly began a furious rant against the perceived snub, calling the committee a “f*cking joke” and the honours system a “f**king joke.” He reportedly said, “I expected nothing less… Who decides the honors?” To be honest, this is a disgrace, and ten years ago, I would have received something like this. It’s “p***ed me off those old, unappreciative c***s.”

Beckham’s representative at the time criticized the reports, calling them false and fabricated. They claimed that “this story is based on outdated information that was systematically gathered from hacked and manipulated private emails from a third-party server,” and that this information intentionally paints an inaccurate picture.

A close pal of Beckham later spoke to The Mirror about the incident, revealing that although Beckham regretted the messages, they were sent “in the heat of the moment”. The friend had said: “Genuinely, he wasn’t as vitriolic as that, but you do say some things in private and in the heat of the moment. To be honest, he does feel that he has given so much to his country. And sometimes you say things in private that anyone would say and you don’t really mean it. While he was frustrated in those emails, he was over it the moment he sent them. Getting the knighthood is not what his work is about. He doesn’t care if he gets a knighthood or not.”

With the news of a knighthood finally being given to David, it has also been revealed that Victoria will now be known as ‘Lady Beckham’ amid a huge family feud. Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have been locked in a rift with his parents.

Romeo’s recent breakup with his girlfriend Kim, according to a source, would have no impact on the Beckhams. Sadly, there are no signs of reconciliation here. The source claimed that there is still a lot of pain to be healed.

Sources close to Nicola previously insisted that as “an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within”. The claims – described as “patently untrue and ludicrous” by friends of David and Victoria – were the “nail in the coffin” of any future relationship, sources claim.

How can you describe your own family in such a low, low blow? Now that Kim is no longer with us, it will be interesting to see if Brooklyn and Nicola make any efforts to mend matters, according to a source.

David Beckham has finally been awarded a prestigious honour from King Charles in his upcoming Birthday Honours list next week, which will see him become a Sir

David Beckham had dreamed of being knighted, and it’s finally becoming a reality. Becks had a glimmer of hope last year when he was announced as an ambassador to the King’s Foundation, with insiders suggesting it might bolster his knighthood prospects. However, 2024 saw him miss out on the distinguished title again. But his luck appeared to change this year, with reports claiming that he’ll be knighted as early as next week.

The former footballer has a long-standing relationship with His Majesty, who last month revealed he’d sent him a gift for his 50th birthday. While attending the Chelsea Flower Show, Beckham was seen sporting a rose as a buttonhole, and it has since emerged that the flower has a very royal connection.

The King, 76, was heard asking David if he had received the recent gift for his birthday after they met on an official line-up. “You got it, didn’t you?” the Monarch asked. David responded: “It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind.”

Just moments later, Queen Camilla met Beckham and commented: “Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.” The footballer told Her Majesty that he had a “perfect” but “busy weekend,” adding it was “a lot of fun.” Beckham’s rose, a King’s Rose was named in honour of the King who has never shied away from discussing his love for horticulture.

An incendiary book released last summer targeting his financial dealings might have thwarted his recent efforts. Authored by Tom Bower, it labelled Beckham “money obsessed” and reported on his strategies for legally reducing his tax obligations in the UK.

Beckham’s aspirations for a knighthood were previously dampened in 2014 following HMRC’s reservations. Now 50, Beckham, who also played a pivotal role in England’s 2018 World Cup bid, faced backlash for accepting the ambassadorship at the Qatar World Cup in 2022. Allegedly raking in £150 million from a decade-long partnership, LGBTQ+ groups criticised him sharply due to Qatar’s oppressive laws against same-sex relationships.

His team has countered, arguing that Beckham’s intent was to harness the unifying power of sport as a ‘force for good. ‘ His involvement irked comedian Joe Lycett, who called out Beckham for double standards before theatrically shredding a topless Beckham photo from Attitude, a gay lifestyle magazine.

The saga culminated with Lycett feigning the destruction of £10,000 after Beckham decided not to withdraw from the deal. Weeks after the comedian called Beckham’s defence a ‘cop out’, the Inter Miami owner was once again overlooked for a coveted invitation to Buckingham Palace.

In a prior incident, a snub reportedly triggered an exchange of heated emails between Beckham and his long-standing PR man Simon Oliveira, which were claimed to have surfaced in 2017. Having led initiatives like the London Olympics and dedicating much time to charitable activities with organisations like UNICEF, many predicted the ex-footballer would receive a knighthood in 2014.

Speculation was rife that his association with a film finance initiative deemed by HMRC as tax avoidance had thrown up a ‘red flag’, disrupting his opportunity for the honour.

There was no indication of misconduct from those who invested in the Ingenious Media scheme. Reportedly, Beckham reassured Oliveira in leaked emails, maintaining “everything is above board.” Subsequently, in the year following, he contributed £12.7 million in taxes as reported by the Sunday Times Tax List, landing him and his wife Victoria in the 49th spot among the UK’s top 50 taxpayers.

Yet, Beckham’s name was notably absent from the 2014 honours list, leading to the publication on the Football Leaks website – described as the sport’s parallel to Wikileaks. In these alleged communications, David purportedly vented his fury at the perceived oversight, labelling the committee a ‘bunch of c***s’ and slamming the honours system as a “f**king joke”.

He allegedly expressed his frustration, saying: “I expected nothing less… Who decides on the honours? It’s a disgrace to be honest and if I was American I would of [sic] got something like this 10 years ago… It’s p***ed me off those old unappreciative c***s.”

Furthermore, he is reported to have said brusquely: “Unless it’s a knighthood f**k off”. Beckham also reportedly questioned the accolade given to Katherine Jenkins, alluding to her OBE by stating she was awarded the honour for “singing at the rugby”.

In the wake of these comments, Katherine Jenkins’ camp had their say, with her spokesperson indicating the singer received her honour for her services to music and her extensive charity work. Her spokesperson stated that she’d “courageously publicly admitted” experimenting with drugs in her formative years.

Her manager, Professor Jonathan Shalit, further defended Jenkins to The Sun, declaring: “I say Katherine was awarded an OBE for her services to music and charity.”

Beckham, who has been a dedicated Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF since 2003 and initiated his 7 fund for the charity in 2015, found himself at the centre of an email controversy. A spokesperson for UNICEF responded to the leaked emails by stating: “David has given significant funds personally.”

At the time, Beckham’s representative slammed the reports, accusing them of being misleading and based on manipulated content, as they told the Daily Mail: “This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third-party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.”

A close pal of Beckham spoke to The Mirror about the incident, revealing that although Beckham regretted the messages, they were sent “in the heat of the moment”. The friend elaborated, “Genuinely, he wasn’t as vitriolic as that, but you do say some things in private and in the heat of the moment,” adding that Beckham feels he has contributed greatly to his country.

They continued, “To be honest, he does feel that he has given so much to his country. And sometimes you say things in private that anyone would say and you don’t really mean it. While he was frustrated in those emails, he was over it the moment he sent them. Getting the knighthood is not what his work is about. He doesn’t care if he gets a knighthood or not.”

Stacey Solomon, a TV star, responded to a hateful troll who attacked her appearance by saying she “could get away” from the offensive comment.

Stacey Solomon couldn’t ignore a vile troll who took aim at her appearance. The reality TV star and Loose Women panellist took to Instagram to call out the nasty remark on Thursday.

The 35-year-old criticized a user for claiming that she resembled a “horse.” She explained that she couldn’t ignore the “horrible” comment that they had made about her post, which featured an emoji of a horse.

The mother-of-five said she typically avoids negativity in movies but felt she had to respond because she “couldn’t get away from it.”

Speaking to her followers after the incident, Stacey said: “I don’t usually read my messages, or reply to them. Well I read the nice ones, I don’t read the horrible ones.

However, I’m actually staring myself in the face because this message is at the top of my comments on my most recent story. So I was unable to escape it.

She continued, “I don’t know if I’m supposed to be offended or to take it as a compliment.” However, I do believe that horses are very attractive.

She continued to explain the situation to her driver, Steve. She then stated, “Steve isn’t having it!” Steve, you’re quite attractive, he said, “Maybe it’s because of your nice teeth.”

Stacey thanked her followers for their positive comments on her post later. She gushed, “love you all.” Honestly, this family is the best I’ve ever had! I’m by nature uncontradicted by what other people think of me. I have a bad feeling for cruel people, in truth.

“But I believe that’s primarily because I have the most wonderful family, the kindest friends (like Steve), and the nicest extended family on this site. I’m so grateful for giving me so much confidence and joy. I have a crush on everyone. And we must always keep Steve safe. “

Stacey has been keeping her followers updated with her dog’s health following his devastating diagnosis. Earlier this year she revealed her pet pooch had a health issue. He ended up having an operation and Stacey previously said that he “might not ever fully recover”.

In April she explained that family pet Teddy had an operation after it was found that he had a “predisposed condition”. She told her followers on Instagram at the time that he had become “suddenly unwell” prior to the procedure.

Stacey shared a photo of Teddy in a recent update earlier this week. She stated in a post that it is “likely” that he will “never get the feeling back” in his legs. He will also need assistance with walking and urinating, according to her.

Stacey wrote, “Teddy update,” in the upload. Many of you have inquiries. It appears that Teddy will need our assistance with urinating, assisted walks, and physio forever after his vet appointment.

The vet was also very pleased with Teddy’s happiness because he was so happy, and he also liked how well we were managing his bladder, making me and Joe feel very proud of it.

She came to the conclusion that while she was sad for Teddy, she was also confident that Joe and I could give him the best possible love. This new adventure is therefore unavoidable. However, because we are so in love with Teddy, we will simply keep trying and try our best to find new ways to make sure he stays healthy and happy for as long as possible.
