The adorable two-year-old who photobombed Queen Camilla when she visited his father’s bakery in Belfast, warming hearts, is the son of a former Blue Peter presenter.

Fitzwilliam Corrie-Salmon, better known as Fitz, from Belfast, took the nation by storm yesterday when he donned a small tuxedo as his father, William, co-owner of Knotts Bakery, chatted with the King’s wife during her tour of Northern Ireland .

Today his mother, Zoe Corrie-Salmon, a former Blue Peter presenter, appeared on This Morning on Friday via video link with Fitz and her husband William.

Zoe, 44, was a Blue Peter presenter from 2004 to 2008, presenting the flagship children’s show with Konnie Huq, Simon Thomas, Matt Baker, Liz Barker, Gethin Jones and Andy Akinwolere.

After hanging up her children’s TV mic, Zoe moved to a country house in County Down, Northern Ireland, with her husband William Corrie.

The former Miss Northern Ireland today said she couldn’t sleep after seeing all the news surrounding her son last night, but luckily ‘Fitz’ managed to get a solid 12 hours of sleep.

She said: ‘Honestly we can’t believe it, she was so good with him, she’s such a lovely lady and it was such a special day.’

Asked how Fitz feels about his new-found fame, she said: ‘Fitz is naturally very talkative and very sociable, but he’s never been in that environment with so many photographers, we didn’t know what he was going to be like, but he really loved it. nice and he had a good day.

“I don’t think it phased him. It’ll be funny when he’s older, showing him all the press and telling him all about it, he won’t believe it.’

Zoe, who was once named the 20th sexiest woman alive by FHM, has largely stayed out of the spotlight since marrying her farmer husband in 2016.

In conversation with Hello! in 2022, she said: ‘Fitz can look forward to an idyllic childhood spent outdoors on the family’s two farms, which extend over around a thousand hectares.’

‘Will grew up on the farm and he always speaks about it so fondly. I’m looking forward to Fitz getting involved in that too. It’s a beautiful part of the world’.

She added that she had no plans to return to TV after taking a break from presenting work during lockdown and pregnancy

‘It’s a new me; I have changed from Zoe the TV presenter to Zoe the mummy and TV presenter. I want Fitz to grow up seeing both his mother and father work hard.”

“She was a nice lady,” William said. ‘Really interested in the products. It’s really good to have her here.’

“She asked questions about what we do,” he also added after the visit. “We were joking about Fitz stealing her thunder for a moment.”

Speaking to interviewers later, Zoe also said that ‘they make a good couple, Queen Camilla and Fitzwilliam’ – and that the royal family were ‘warm, charming and very lovely’. I just hope she had a great day in Northern Ireland.”

Wearing the country’s signature color, the Queen opted for an emerald green Bruce Oldfield coat and a crepe dress.

She styled her platinum blonde locks in their signature look and paid tribute to her late mother-in-law by wearing Queen Elizabeth’s turquoise and diamond shamrock brooch.

Queen Camilla has said the King is “doing very well” despite missing a trip to Belfast as he undergoes cancer treatment.

They gave Camilla some of their local produce to take home, which she said she would share with the king, including their beloved fruit bread and madeira with ice cream.

Her Majesty is in Northern Ireland on a two-day trip, which both were due to undertake.

After the king was forced to stay at home, she decided to continue with elements of her own program for the work trip.

The space station was created by billionaire Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin in partnership with NASA as part of their commercial space strategy.

“NASA enables commercial industry to build, own and operate space systems, with the agency procuring services for its science and research needs,” the space agency wrote.

“Industry can also use these same services for fully commercial activities in space.

“Through our public-private partnerships, we are helping open the space to more science, more people and more opportunity.”

The Orbital Reef project was given four milestones as part of the 2021 NASA Space Act Agreement that brought the project to life, reports NASA.

The milestones include testing materials and designs that will clean, recover and store the air and water needed to support humans during spaceflight.

With recent critical life support milestones testing positive, this milestone marks another step forward toward the project’s goal of making the United States a part of space exploration.

Angela Hart, manager of NASA’s Commercial Low Earth Orbit Development Program, explained how crucial these tests are to moving the project forward.

“These milestones are critical to ensuring that a commercial destination can support human life so that NASA astronauts can continue to access low Earth orbit to conduct important scientific research in the unique microgravity environment,” she said .

“Additionally, each milestone achieved allows NASA to gain insight into our partner’s progress in station design and development.”

The Orbital Reef’s life support system will mirror that of the International Space Station, a regenerative system that recycles air and waste produced by humans on board.

These regenerative functions are integral to reducing the amount of supplies that need to be transported to space.

Testing of the project’s life support systems includes a trace contaminant control test, a water contaminant oxidation test, a urine water recovery test, and a water tank test.

BEGINNING OF ORBITAL REEF

The conceptual model for the orbital reef was first released to the public in November 2022.

A conceptual one video took viewers from launch to space and showed what the space station could look like when completed.

The film was highly romanticized and showed a real potential for a full life on board.

People were seen making art, dancing and even enjoying romances.

One dramatic scene showed a woman staring at the Earth from a station window.

“Your address, in orbit,” a single statement concluded the video.

The space station will serve both a residential function, for those who can afford it, and a research function as part of the collaboration with NASA.

Blue Origin previously said it hopes to have the Orbital Reef space station operational by 2027.

RESIDENCE IN SPACE

The development will consist of spacious modules and living areas with large windows to the earth, allowing travelers to enjoy the view of our planet.

Travelers experience weightlessness and live and work in space with a rental contract on board the project.

Numerous amenities will be available to travelers for any length of visit, Bezos’ company said, including medical care and recreational options.

In addition to those who live there of their own accord, scientists will also be housed there for work.

They will receive housing and laboratories – including a micro garden – that are necessary for fundamental scientific applications

“Whether it’s physical, biological or earth sciences, developing new products or testing exploration systems, you’ll find it easier than ever to do your work in orbit,” says the Blue Origin. website is reading.

What is the ISS?

Here’s what you need to know about the International Space Station…

  • The International Space Station, often abbreviated to ISS, is a large spacecraft that orbits the Earth and houses astronauts who go there to complete scientific missions
  • Many countries worked together to build it and they work together to use it
  • It consists of many parts that astronauts had to send and assemble individually on rockets between 1998 and 2000.
  • People have been living on the ISS since the year 2000
  • NASA uses the station to learn about living and working in space
  • It is located about 400 kilometers above Earth and orbits the planet like a satellite
  • It is said that living on the ISS is like living in a large house with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a gym, lots of science labs and a large bay window where you can view the Earth

Naturalists have captured the spectacular moment a terrifying blue shark got the shock of its life when five killer whales attacked it in the waters off the coast of California.

The predator made a hasty retreat from the group of five scientists dubbed “Louise’s family” after they began stalking the waters off Monterey.

It happened less than a month after an orca was seen killing and devouring a great white shark for the first time, amid reports of the species’ increasingly aggressive behavior toward humans and other animals.

And the three-metre shark left no doubt about its place in the pecking order as the mighty whales turned to size it up.

“They didn’t touch it or eat it,” the Monterey Bay Whale Watch reported excitedly. ‘What a rare and fortunate encounter today between two unique species!’

The blue shark was cruising the sea off Monterey, California when it spotted a pod of five killer whales just yards away, rapidly approaching.

The shark made a quick turn and raced away as the whales, named Louise's Family, turned to get a closer look.

Scientists are scratching their heads over the whales’ newfound assertiveness after at least five boats have been sunk in a series of attacks since 2020.

A British couple were subjected to a terrifying 90-minute attack by six of the creatures on board their cruiser yacht off the coast of Gibraltar in May last year.

“We were sitting like crazy,” Janet Morris said.

“There was definitely a clearly bigger matriarch around who was almost supervising,” her husband Stephen said.

“I kept reminding myself that we had a 22-ton boat made of steel, but it was disheartening to see three of them coming out of the water at the same time, fast and at pace with their fins.”

Researchers concluded that the attack was led by a whale named ‘White Gladis’, which has coached other whales to attack boats after being traumatized during a ‘critical moment of pain’ when she collided with a ship or became entangled in fishing nets.

Just two days later, another yacht was sunk nearby in an attack by a group of one adult and two youths.

Last month, for the first time, a killer whale was seen individually killing and eating a great white shark - in just two minutes off the coast of South Africa

“The little ones shook the rudder at the back, while the big ones drove backwards repeatedly and rammed the ship with full force from the side,” said Captain Werner Schaufelberger.

‘The two small orcas observed the technique of the larger one and they too collided with the boat with a light run.’

Monika Wieland Shields of the Orca Behavior Institute in Washington said hundreds of incidents have been reported worldwide since the attacks began.

“So many people have come to Washington state where I am this year, and they’re wondering, ‘Is it safe to see whales here?’ How big is the boat we are going with? Is there any chance the whales are going to attack this boat?’ she said NBC in December.

In September 2022, authorities in Spain banned ships from sailing from the northwestern tip due to an increase in attacks, and a pair of killer whales, named Port and Starboard, have developed a taste for great white sharks.

Since 2017, at least eight Great Whites have washed up on South Africa’s beaches after their nutrient-rich livers were ripped away by the top predators.

Orcas typically eat seals or even dolphins, but last month Starboard became the first of its kind known to have killed and eaten a Great White itself.

‘Starboard was observed preying on a young white shark measuring 2.5 meters in length, and later carrying the shark liver in its mouth alongside a boat,’ said Dr Alison Towner from Rhodes University.

Orcas can reach heights of up to 10 meters, weigh more than 12,000 kilos and live up to 90 years.

About 200 live off the coast of California and sightings are most common in April and May.

But scientists have played down claims that the creatures are becoming more aggressive towards humans, insisting that their attacks on boats should be seen as ‘playful social behaviour’ and not ‘revenge’ for mistreatment.

“Orcas just want to have fun,” says Robert Pitman of Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute.

‘They are not afraid of boats, and they have nothing to eat there.

‘They are intelligent, social animals, and they live in what I think is probably an environment that is probably not stimulating enough for their mental capabilities.

‘Vengeance is not useful in nature. It’s not adaptive at all, unless you’re human, I guess.”

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium has taken time away from her studies to carry out a rare royal assignment as she welcomes a very special guest to her home country.

The 20-year-old royal, who is studying at the University of Oxford, hosted former US President Barack Obama this weekend as she joined her father, King Philippe, in Brussels.

Elisabeth looked statuesque in a sharp royal blue suit with a wrap jacket and wide-leg trousers as she smiled next to the ex-president, who was flanked on the other side by the Belgian monarch.

Although the Belgian royal family welcomed a very special guest of honour, it was Elisabeth who seemed to steal the show as fans took to social media to praise her stunning outfit and professionalism.

After the Belgian Royal Palace posted the photo of the three figures on Instagram, the photo was flooded with comments in praise of the future Queen of Belgium.

“The Crown Princess looks amazing in blue,” one person wrote.

Another said: ‘What a beautiful blue outfit for the princess.’

Many royal fans were happy to see their future queen fulfilling royal duties as she is currently putting her studies first.

‘Wow for Princess Elisabeth!’ one person wrote and added: ‘The king can be proud of his daughter.’

The princess’s appearance comes after speculation about her love life was quashed at Oxford University amid reports she was dating an ‘ordinary’ young man.

Belgian media reported last month that the 20-year-old had found love with 20-year-old Nicholas Dodd from Rochdale.

It was reported that the couple met when Elisabeth began studying history and politics at Lincoln College.

Mr. Dodd is studying History at the same university according to Het Laatste Nieuws, a Dutch-language newspaper based in Antwerp, Belgium.

The local publication, citing a “key source,” claimed that “ordinary” Nicholas and the princess had an “instant bond” after ending up in the same study group and developing a relationship that “transcends friendship.”

However, the rumors were quashed when Dodd’s family said the reports were ‘false’.

‘They just go to the same university and study together. Like all his other friends, I cannot comment further,” an unnamed family member said Manchester Evening News.

When asked about the rumors, the Royal Palace declined to comment, according to the French-language Belgian television channel RTL.

“We do not respond to rumors about the private lives of members of the royal family,” the statement said.

Nicholas is described as an ‘intelligent and inquisitive young man’, who appeared on the Rochdale Sixth Form College website after being accepted into the University of Oxford.

He wrote: ‘I applied to Oxford because I wanted the opportunity to study at a world-class university.

‘I felt I should apply as there was nothing to lose by trying! It was also rewarding because the experience developed my analytical skills. Even if my application fails, the skills I learned will still help me now and in approaching my work in the future.

‘I would recommend applying to Oxbridge even if you have doubts. You have nothing to lose and if you spend some time on it, it will be a valuable experience in itself,” he added.

Princess Elisabeth, born on October 25, 2001, is the eldest of the four children of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium.

When her father became king in 2013, Elisabeth became heir to the throne and Duchess of Brabant.

Elisabeth began attending royal engagements from an early age and was only nine when she gave a speech at the opening of the Princess Elisabeth Children’s Hospital.

Nicholas, on the other hand, went to Rochdale Sixth Form and lives with his mother in a £300,000 house during the school year, after losing his father Andrew to cancer in 2007.

Like a number of other European monarchs, including Princess Leonor of Spain and Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, Elisabeth attended Atlantic College in Wales before moving to Oxford.

The school curriculum, nicknamed ‘Hippie Hogwarts’, includes unusual activities such as Tai Chi and Tibetan literature. It has a remarkable cliff-top location in a 12th-century castle in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Elisabeth enrolled on a two-year, £67,000 course to study for her International Baccalaureate diploma at the school, which she has now completed.

Before her two-year education in Wales, she attended the Dutch-language secondary school Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels. The Princess also attended the Yale Young Global Scholars Program at Yale University.

She then completed a one-year course in social and military sciences at the Royal Military Academy, which would provide in-depth instruction in the four components of Belgian defense: army, air force, navy and medical care.

In addition to her education, the Princess began studying history and politics at Lincoln College, Oxford, in October 2021. Here she rows for the Lincoln College Boat Club under the name ‘Elisabeth de Saxe-Coburg’.

According to the Belgian newspaper Le Soir, the princess took a written history entrance exam ‘anonymously’ so that her social status would not affect her grades.

It is believed that Elisabeth chose the course herself, in consultation with her parents, and reportedly consulted with graduates from various universities and made her decision based on what would be most useful to her in her role as queen later in her life.

Elisabeth is a talented 21-year-old in every way and, according to the official royal website, she enjoys walking in nature, reading and playing the piano – although her taste in music, like “all young people her age”, it writes palace, ‘is varied.’

Mathew Knowles, 72, wrote a beautiful tribute to his granddaughter Blue Ivy on Instagram, cheering her on for her courage and spirit while dancing on Beyoncé’s concert tour.

The former Destiny’s Child manager posted a close-up photo of the 12-year-old on stage as she danced in a glittering camouflage costume.

Her hair was done up while she wore natural makeup that made her eyebrows and pout pop and look like the spitting image of her famous mother.

His message served as hope and inspiration for the young dancer as she expanded her horizons and exploded in the industry.

The lengthy post proved a hit as fans wrote: “The Beehive is super proud of you Blue Blue,” referencing her mother’s fandom.

Mathew Knowles, 72, took to Instagram to write a sweet tribute to his granddaughter Blue Ivy as she dances at Beyoncé’s concert tour

“Dear Blue Ivy, I remember coming back to the stage in London before the concert and asking about you. Beyoncé replied, “She’s over there rehearsing” and then I understood why, because one of your friends had reacted negatively to your first performance on the tour. At that moment I was so proud that you wanted to do your best to get better. Knowles started.

“I want to take a moment to appreciate the amazing determination and willingness to learn that you have shown. Your enthusiasm for life and your eagerness to gain knowledge and new experiences are truly inspiring. You have already shown the world that you are a force to be reckoned with, and I have no doubt that one day you will continue to amaze us all.”

“It is clear that you have an extraordinary Knowles spirit, and I am confident that you will find your true passion in life,” he continued. have the courage to pursue it with all your heart. Whatever path you choose, I hope it brings you fulfillment, joy, and a deep sense of purpose.”

‘⁠I also want to encourage you to never be afraid to explore new opportunities. The world is full of endless possibilities, and I hope you are brave enough to step outside your comfort zone and seize the opportunities that come your way. Always be open to new experiences as they have the potential to broaden your horizons and lead you into unknown areas.

“Blue Ivy, I hope you can continue to embrace life with the same determination and willingness to learn that you possess now. Your journey has only just begun and I have no doubt that you will leave a lasting mark on the world. Chase your dreams, follow your heart and always believe in the extraordinary potential that lies within you,” he ended.

The post comes as Beyonce recently revealed that Cowboy Carter will be the name of her upcoming country album.

Blue Ivy was a backup dancer on her mother’s record-breaking Renaissance World Tour to promote her eponymous, four-time Grammy-winning, Billboard 200-topping LP.

The Grammy winner tried to improve her performance after making her debut during the Paris stop of the tour, dancing to My Power and Black Parade at almost all stops on the North American leg of the tour.

Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé followed the artist as she performed during her historic tour. During the film, Beyoncé talks about how she was initially hesitant to let Blue dance with her, but later realized how dedicated and hardworking her daughter was to improve every time she performed.

“I would like to take a moment to appreciate the amazing determination and willingness to learn that you have shown… your enthusiasm for life and your eagerness to gain knowledge and new experiences is truly inspiring,” Mathew wrote

Beyonce’s eighth studio album is scheduled for March 29 and already contains two songs: Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages.

She announced her latest project during her Super Bowl commercial collaborating with Verizon Wireless.

It will be a country album, as she plans to return to her Texas roots and embrace this new style of music.

The former private schoolboy accused of the brutal stabbing murder of a 21-year-old was an award-winning student and footballer whose good looks made him popular with girls.

At Queensland’s prestigious $6,860-a-year Ipswich Grammar, Haedyn Rawson won a reading prize, played football and Australian Rules – and in 2017 took a trip to London with his classmates, where he posed in front of the iconic gates of Buckingham Palace.

The 23-year-old, now a heavily tattooed construction worker, is accused of using a kitchen knife to stab Will Swinbourne on Hope Island on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

Police allege Rawson stabbed Mr Swinbourne following an alleged botched drug deal in a vehicle in the Gold Coast Radiology Clinic car park at 2.15pm on Monday.

Mr. Rawson had been drinking at the Boardwalk Tavern next to the clinic prior to an alleged planned meeting with Mr. Swinbourne, police say.

The pair are said to have met two days earlier through mutual friends at British DJ Fred Again’s concert the previous Saturday evening at The Spit on the Gold Coast.

On Monday, after a lengthy manhunt in a gated community on lockdown, police arrested Haedyn Rawson and placed him in a forensic jumpsuit for his transfer to a holding cell.

On Monday, after a lengthy manhunt in a gated community on lockdown, police arrested Haedyn Rawson and placed him in a forensic jumpsuit for his transfer to a holding cell.

On Monday afternoon, accounting student Will Swinbourne was found with life-threatening injuries in the parking lot on Santa Barbara Road on Hope Island, sparking a three-and-a-half-hour manhunt.

Police allege Mr Rawson fled on foot through a golf course on the nearby Sanctuary Cove estate, forcing the gated community into lockdown as officers combed through streets, waterways and golf courses.

He was eventually found in a cul-de-sac at around 6pm when police handcuffed him and dressed him in a blue forensic jumpsuit before taking him into custody in a police van.

Another 23-year-old man from Surfers Paradise who had been drinking with Rawson at the tavern was arrested at 4.45pm but was later released without charge.

Haedyn Patrick Zachary Rawson appeared in the Southport Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday morning charged with murder and has not entered a plea or applied for bail.

Most recently, Mr. Rawson worked as a construction foreman at a construction company not far from his home.

Mr Rawson lived on Redbank Plains, just a 20-minute drive from his old school Ipswich Grammar, reportedly with his parents.

He remains friends with his old classmates on social media, but images of him in recent years show an increase in visible tattoos on his arm and neck.

Tributes have been paid to Mr Swinbourne, who studied at Griffith University and whose girlfriend Kaysie Tooth shared a loving message on social media.

“I love you to the moon and back, in this life and the next and beyond,” she wrote alongside a photo of the couple sharing a kiss. “Forever looking at pictures of you, my love.”

Police describe the grim speed at which the fatal encounter allegedly occurred.

‘It happened very quickly. My understanding is that the victim has only just arrived and the incident has occurred,” Detective Inspector Mark Mooney claimed.

“We believe the altercation started in the car and … at some point he got out because he was found on the ground.”

Mr Swinbourne’s football team, Mudgeeraba Red Backs Rugby League Club, where he played for about 12 years, described him as a ‘very loyal kid, loyal to the club, loyal to his friends’.

Mr Rawson will return to court later this month.

It looks like an alien spaceship, or a new galaxy that has suddenly appeared in the sky.

But a mysterious blue spiral that appeared in the middle of the Northern Lights was actually left behind by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Experts say the spiral shape appeared when SpaceX’s rocket blew off unnecessary fuel during its long descent into the ocean.

When the rocket fuel was ejected, it froze and crystallized in the shape of a spiral, which was then illuminated by the sun.

Photographers in Iceland and Norway captured the bizarre, unnatural phenomenon, which has an eerie, UFO-like appearance.

Photographer Bettina Begtoft captured the apparition on March 5 in Norway with the Barents Sea in the foreground

What is the SpaceX Spiral?

Experts say a mysterious spiral shape may appear in the night sky when a rocket vents unnecessary fuel after launch.

When the fuel is emitted, it freezes and crystallizes in the shape of a spiral, which is then illuminated by the sun.

In the latter case, the upper stage of one of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets released fuel shortly after liftoff, causing a blue spiral to appear.

According to Spaceweather.com, “SpaceX spirals” are a common occurrence over the Pacific Ocean.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sunday, March 4 at 5:05 PM ET (10:05 PM GMT).

It carried 53 small satellites into orbit, a mission known as Transporter-10.

As the scrapped second stage of the rocket passed over the Barents Sea in the Arctic Ocean, it performed a ‘de-orbit burn’: its engines were fired to allow it to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.

As it spun, the exhaust turned into a spectacular spiral, catching the light of the sun.

Those still awake in Northern Europe in the early hours of March 5 were there to witness the strange sight.

Photographer Bettina Begtoft captured the appearance in Norway with the Barents Sea in the foreground.

“I noticed it at 2:02 a.m. local time,” Begtoft said spaceweather.com.

‘To the naked eye it looked white, but my Nikon D750 camera showed the beautiful blue color.’

Another image of the same SpaceX spiral was captured at Shang Yang in the town of Akureyri, northern Iceland.

“I caught this on March 5 around 1 a.m. local time in Akureyri,” Yang said.

“It looked otherworldly against the northern lights.”

This isn’t the first time SpaceX has tricked observers into thinking UFOs might be present.

In January last year, the company left a blue-tinged spiral over Maunakea, Hawaii, after launching a new satellite.

It was captured on camera by the Hawaiian Subaru Telescope and grew from a small dot into a spiral, gradually expanding and fading.

And in June 2022, a new blue spiral across New Zealand’s skies confused onlookers who thought it was of extraterrestrial origin.

The spiraling gas plume lit up the sky over Nelson, a city on the tip of New Zealand’s South Island, and traveled 750 kilometers south to Stewart Island.

These spirals are a “routine byproduct” of SpaceX operations and are common over the Pacific Ocean, according to spaceweather.com.

Olivier Staiger, an independent astronomer based in Switzerland, managed to predict that the March 5 SpaceX spiral would occur.

In January 2023, SpaceX left a blue-tinted spiral over Maunakea, Hawaii after launching a new satellite

He now thinks another one will occur in October during SpaceX’s Transporter-12 mission, and that it could be accompanied by more auroras and meteor showers.

There are two major meteor showers in October – the Draconids (October 8-9) and the Orionids (October 21-22) – that could coincide with Transporter-12.

In addition, a comet named Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is expected to peak and become visible from Earth in September or October 2024.

WHAT ARE AURORAS AND WHAT TRIGGERS THE BEAUTIFUL NATURAL VIEWS?

The Northern and Southern Lights are natural light spectacles that are activated in our atmosphere and are also called the ‘Auroras’.

There are two types of Aurora: Aurora Borealis, which means ‘dawn of the north’, and Aurora Australis, ‘dawn of the south’.

The displays light up when electrically charged particles from the sun enter the Earth’s atmosphere.

Usually the particles, also called a solar storm, are deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

But during stronger storms, they enter the atmosphere and collide with gas particles, including hydrogen and helium.

These collisions emit light. Aurora displays appear in many colors, although light green and pink are common.

Princess Beatrice was spotted dining with friends at an A-List venue in Mayfair last night.

King Charles’ niece, 35, appeared in good spirits as she entered the celebrity’s favorite restaurant, Scotts.

Beatrice enjoyed dinner without her husband, Edo Mapelli Mozzi, who may have been caring for their daughter Sienna, two.

The royal beamed when she left the champagne and oyster bar later that evening with a friend by car.

The mother-of-one opted for a chic yet stylish outfit, donning a navy blue coat with a crimson maxi dress.

Beatrice added a touch of glamor to her outfit with a pair of navy blue heels with a diamond-encrusted toe.

She wore her auburn locks in loose waves over her shoulders and opted for a natural makeup look.

Scott’s has long been a royal favorite, but it also has legions of famous fans. It was also the scene of the infamous nose job incident between Nigella Lawson and then-husband Charles Saatchi in 2020, which led directly to the end of their marriage.

Other celebrity diners include Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone, rocker Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally Humphreys.

The seafood restaurant is described on its website as having ‘the best oysters, fish and shellfish’ and also has an adjacent champagne bar.

The menu features a choice of seven different types of oysters, including the Lock Ryan Natives variety at £38 for six, and Beluga caviar at an eye-watering £270 for just 30 grams.

Other options include an octopus starter for £18.75 and a whole grilled lobster for £70.

It comes after Princess Beatrice appeared at an event to mark Student Mental Health Week, where she spoke on a panel last month about young people’s wellbeing.

The 35-year-old princess joined forces with US company Chegg to take part in the event in the capital, championing a cause that many will associate with the Princess of Wales.

Kate, 42, who is currently privately recovering after abdominal surgery, has become one of the loudest voices within the royal family in standing up for the mental health and wellbeing of young people. She previously revealed that she and William care “deeply” about the case.

Last year, during the week of World Mental Health Day in October, the Princess of Wales took part in a series of meetings specifically focused on student mental health – both solo and with Prince William.

Although Kate is staying home (and “doing well,” according to Kensington Palace), it appears William’s cousin Beatrice has raised the flag for the cause.

When she appeared at the event by Chegg, a company based in Silicon Valley, in partnership with British charity Student Minds, the Mental Health Foundation and Big Change, Beatrice wore a black belted tweed jacket from Majé that cost £535, combined with an A-line Alexander McQueen A-line skirt, tights and lace-up boots.

In a photo posted to X/Twitter by Heather Hatlo Porter, Chegg’s chief communications officer, the royal mother of one is seen smiling as she chats with some young people.

As Heather posted the photo, she wrote that she was “so grateful” to have heard the royal speak at the event.

She added: “Let’s face loneliness together,” suggesting the event was specifically focused on loneliness in particular.

Beatrice’s participation in the event follows a cause that the Princess of Wales has long championed, as she flies the flag for student mental health awareness while Kate is out of action.

Last year, Kate took part in a number of events to promote young people’s mental health and wellbeing.

During a busy week in October, Kate undertook several assignments to promote a good cause, including a visit to Nottingham Trent University.

Queen Letizia of Spain looked somber today as she attended a memorial service for victims of terrorism with her husband King Felipe.

The royal, 51, looked sophisticated in a long-sleeved navy dress at a memorial event honoring the nearly 200 victims of the 2004 Madrid train attack.

The mother-of-two teamed her chic ensemble with matching kitten heels and a leather handbag as she arrived at the Royal Collection Gallery.

In Spain it has been twenty years since the attack, which killed almost 200 people, was claimed by ‘Al Qaeda in Europe’ as punishment for Spain’s involvement in the war in Iraq.

During the morning rush hour of March 11, 2004, ten bombs exploded almost simultaneously on Madrid’s commuter trains, killing 192 people and injuring nearly 2,000.

Last week, Queen Letizia looked picture-perfect as she attended the opening of the International Contemporary Art Fair in Madrid with King Felipe VI.

Wearing a statement cream top under a classic black coat, the royal once again showed her sharp sense of style.

Letizia’s fine-knit top featured a contemporary interwoven design reminiscent of Italian designer Bottega Veneta’s famous ‘intrecciato’ – or braided – handbags.

Her single-breasted coat fell below the knee and was worn open for a relaxed look.

The mother-of-two looked petite in black slim-leg trousers, while her patent leather slingbacks proved she has her finger on the pulse when it comes to fashion.

The Spanish royal family has been rocked in recent months following sensational claims by Letizia’s former brother-in-law that they had an affair before and after her marriage to King Felipe in 2004.

Her appearance alongside her husband came after Jaime Peñafiel, 91, who made a series of bombshell accusations about Queen Letizia in the book “Letizia & I,” was fired by the newspaper where he had worked for 20 years.

Late last year, the veteran journalist sent shockwaves through Spain’s royal family after claiming the Queen was romantically involved with her ex-brother-in-law.

The book relied heavily on allegations made by Jaime Del Burgo, 53, who sensationally claimed he was still in a relationship with Letizia after her marriage to King Felipe in 2004.

The businessman told the author that he met Letizia before 2000 and that their relationship began during a romantic trip to Venice, years before she met King Felipe.

The journalist spoke to Argentinian publication Semana and confirmed that he was no longer employed by El Mundo.

During the interview, he denied that the decision to leave El Mundo was made months ago. Initial reports in Spanish media claimed that Jaime Peñafiel was fired due to 2024 budget constraints.

However, the author claimed that the decision to fire him was made the day he complained about a “highly offensive” article printed about him.
