If Princess Kate Middleton still remains out of the public eye, many royal watchers have their eyes on a possible sighting on Easter Sunday.

After undergoing abdominal surgery in January, Middleton, 42, has not stepped out publicly and has left fans asking questions about her whereabouts.

The criticism only intensified when the Princess of Wales posted a Mother’s Day portrait photo of her sitting with her Prince Williamof three children: Prince George10, Princess Charlotte8, and Prince Louis5.

At first glance, the photo seemed like a welcome new family portrait. But after speculation arose that the photo had been doctored, Middleton issued a public statement confirming that the photo had been doctored.

“Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing,” said a message shared via the official Prince and Princess of Wales X account on March 11. “I wanted to apologize for any confusion the family photo we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone who celebrated had a happy Mother’s Day.”

As Middleton continues to privately recover, many are wondering if the mother of three will make her first outing after the procedure on March 31 for Easter Sunday. Here’s everything we know about the royal family’s holiday plans.

Will Kate be back for Easter?

In January, Kensington Palace confirmed that Middleton’s abdominal surgery was successful and that the royal princess will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days before returning home to recover.

“Based on current medical advice, it is unlikely that she will return to public duties until after Easter,” said a statement shared via the palace’s official X account.

In late February, Middleton’s representative reiterated the palace’s expected schedule, saying in a statement: “Kensington Palace made the timelines of the Princess’ recovery clear in January and we would only provide major updates. That leadership remains in place.”

What are the royal family’s Easter traditions?

When Easter Sunday arrives, Middleton and Prince William, 41, typically enjoy part of the day with family at a church service at St George’s Chapel.

Although the outing is considered a private family event and not a royal duty, photos of the royals entering the service are often published by the press. In previous years, the couple and their children attended church with their extended family King Charles III And Queen Consort Camilla.

Have William and Kate ever missed Easter?

When it comes to celebrations, not every Easter Sunday is the same for the royal family. In 2014, Middleton, Prince William and Prince George noticed the holiday down under during an Australian tour.

On the fifth day of their visit, which fell on Easter Sunday, the family took part in a church service before traveling to Sydney’s Taronga Zoo.

Are William and Kate going on spring break?

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are expected to be on school holidays in early April. In recent years, the Prince and Princess of Wales have taken time off to be with their children during breaks from school.

If Middleton chooses not to make a public appearance on Easter Sunday, some speculate she will wait until after spring break.

What did Kate Middleton say?

With so much media attention and public scrutiny, a source said We weekly that both Middleton and Prince William are hoping things blow over sooner rather than later.

“Kate really wants to get back to work,” the insider said Us on March 13. “This has been one of the most challenging months for Kate as a royal, and she prays the fuss will subside as soon as possible.”

A Christmas card issued by the Spanish Royal Family has surfaced online and has fans in hysterics thanks to some bad Photoshopping.

The image, taken in 2005, has resurfaced after the Princess of Wales admitted yesterday to editing her Mother’s Day post.

The family portrait shows King Juan Carlos – who abdicated in June 2014 – sitting on a red sofa next to his wife Queen Sofia, who is holding their granddaughter, Princess Leonor.

In front of the sofa we see the other grandchildren of the royal couple – Felipe, Victoria Eugenia, Miguel, Juan, Irene and Pablo – sitting on a green velvet cushion.

However, royal onlookers at the time noticed that King Juan Carlos’ leg had been removed from the photo.

The Spanish royal family released this photo in December 2005, but a spokesperson later admitted it had been edited after fans noticed King Juan Carlos was missing a leg

This prompted a Palace spokesperson to admit that photo editing software had been used to create the image.

After struggling to get all the grandchildren together in a room, the palace posted photos of the royal family in the same background for the sake of the Christmas card.

A spokesperson said: ‘It is not a photo of an official event, it is just a compilation used as a Christmas greeting.’

After the Princess of Wales admitted she edited her Mother’s Day photo, royal journalist Eugenia Garavani shared the infamous Christmas card with her 116,000 Instagram followers.

She captioned the post: ‘Royals and photoshop, say no more. This is actually the Spanish royal family’s Christmas card from 2005.’

The post had followers in hysterics and prompted fans to point out other problems with the image.

One said: ‘The funny thing is that [Irene] is in short sleeves and hair [siblings] ​​are in winter clothes.’

Another added: ‘Was ANYONE in real life present for this photo?’

A third wrote: ‘Wow! And no excuses and no regrets!’

Earlier this week, the Palace came under increasing pressure to reveal the truth behind the Mother’s Day photo after the world’s top photo and news agencies – including PA – ‘killed’ the image over claims it had been digitally manipulated.

The photo of the beaming mother-of-three with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was the first official photo released of the princess since she underwent “planned abdominal surgery” in January.

A statement from the Princess of Wales said: ‘Like many amateur photographers, I occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to apologize for any confusion the family photo we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone who celebrated had a happy Mother’s Day. C’

Royal sources insisted this was ‘an amateur family photo taken by the Prince of Wales’.

They said the couple wanted to offer an “informal” photo of the family together for Mother’s Day and that the princess has made “minor adjustments,” she shared in her statement on social media. An aide added: ‘The Wales family spent Mother’s Day together and had a great day.’

Despite calls for the original to be published, Kensington Palace said it would not reissue the unedited photo of Kate and her children.

It comes after PA – Britain’s most respected photo agency – this morning joined AP, AFP, Reuters, Getty Images and EPA in withdrawing the photo.

It is not the first time that the Waleses’ photos have been in the spotlight. Most recently, in December, the family’s Christmas portrait received criticism from around the world.

People on social media started asking questions about the family portrait, with some pointing to what appeared to be extra legs, while others said Louis was missing a finger.

In the snap, we see William and Kate smiling next to their sons Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte, who are sitting in a chair at the front of the group.

Photographed by Josh Shinner, each member of the Wales family wears a white shirt, adding to the striking monochrome aesthetic.

However, eagle-eyed observers were left puzzled when they focused on Prince Louis’ left hand and noticed that his middle finger appeared to be missing.

Others questioned William’s leg, as he appeared to have a wide stance, but only his right leg was visible. Similarly, only one of Kate’s feet is visible behind the chair Charlotte is sitting on.

Many speculated that the image had been poorly edited or photoshopped, with one social media user writing: ‘Although it’s a lovely family photo, I noticed Louis’ hand as soon as I looked at it. He’s missing a finger.’

However, a royal source told the Mail: ‘It’s not photoshopped. It seems like he [Louis]…just bent his finger over. He certainly hasn’t lost a finger – don’t worry about that!’

The lead rescuer deployed to find five Swiss skiers who died in a brutal Alpine storm has described how the doomed crew desperately tried to make an igloo for shelter but panicked and became delirious before ultimately freezing to death.

Air Zermatt chief Anjan Truffer explained how his team discovered several bodies scattered on the mountain after the six-person strong group, five from the same family, pushed on with a tour despite hurricane-force winds of up to 70mph being forecast.

‘First we found two people lying on the snow, severely hypothermic. Thanks to sounding poles and avalanche locators, we later found two more people lying under the snow cover. We had to shovel these out. 

‘Another person was lying about 30 meters away. When we found the people, they were very lightly dressed… they ended up disorientated at high altitude,’ he told Swiss outlet NZZ.

He added that the ski tourers had tried to build a cave and protect themselves from the gales – in temperatures of -30 degrees C with windchill – to no avail. 

‘That’s actually a good idea. But the group didn’t have the necessary equipment with them. They had shovels, but they were too light to do anything with this massive blanket of snow. Panic might’ve broken out and the group scattered,’ Truffer concluded. 

Mountain guide Klaus Aufdenblatten told Blick that the ski tourers were grossly underprepared for the ill-advised trip.

‘The alpinists completely underestimated the weather conditions. The wind in particular can develop enormous power,’ he warned.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the identities of all the deceased, but two victims were named as Jean-Vincent Moix and his brother David by friends and colleagues on social media. 

Another brother, a cousin and an uncle were also killed in the tragedy and a sixth person is still missing.

The skiers, five of them members of the same family, went missing around Tete Blanche mountain on Saturday on the Zermatt-Arolla path, near the Matterhorn mountain that straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy

The skiers, five of them members of the same family, went missing around Tete Blanche mountain on Saturday on the Zermatt-Arolla path, near the Matterhorn mountain that straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy

The group of six skiers, who ranged in age from 21 to 58, had left Zermatt Saturday morning with the goal of reaching the town of Arolla, near the Matterhorn mountain, later that day.

But as the group passed close to the Tete Blanche, a mountain peak between Zermatt and Arolla, the region was engulfed in a brutal storm that left the skiers stranded at an altitude of around 11,400ft (3,500 metres).

A member of the group sent a distress call to emergency services around 5pm on Saturday afternoon, authorities said, but helicopters and rescue teams were unable to deploy, such was the ferocity of the storm.

By the time a rescue team finally reached the mountain on Sunday evening, five of the six alpine enthusiasts had perished close to the Dent Blanche alpine cabin. 

Colleagues of Jean-Vincent paid tribute to him yesterday, including the mayor of Vex – a small village in the Swiss canton of Valais where the deceased had only recently been elected as a councillor.

The former private banker, who was also educated at the University of Westminster, was a keen mountaineer and had decided to switch careers.

Mayor Sebastien Menoud said: ‘It is such a huge tragedy to lose a colleague on the local council.

‘Our thoughts are with him, his family and those around him and we express our deepest condolences to them.

‘One knows that it is an immeasurable pain that his family is now confronted with.’

David also lived in Vex, and was a lawyer.

A friend of the brothers, Lucas Nanchen, posted on Facebook: ‘Why is it always the best ones leave first?

‘David (like his brothers) was the epitome of selflessness, always listening. David was very generous. Lowkey he never came forward and yet he could have.

‘The mountains of his region, which he knew by heart and cherished so much, took him away.

Last night, a group of around 300 people in Vex gathered for a memorial procession, laying candles before listening to a performance by a local brass band, of which Jean-Vincent was a member.

Christian Varone, head of Valais cantonal police, told reporters yesterday that rescue workers had pulled out all the stops to try to reach the stranded skiers on Saturday evening but faced horrendous conditions.

‘We were trying the impossible,’ he said, adding that the mission had pushed its efforts ‘to the extreme, extreme limit’, but were forced to turn around to avoid ‘seriously endangering the lives of the rescue workers’.

‘Sometimes you have to bow before nature.’

Truffer confirmed that emergency services received a distress signal from one of the skiers at around 5:19pm local time on Saturday.

This, he said, gave rescuers a rough location in the Col de Tete Blanche, whose peak stands at 12,160ft above sea level.

Truffer told Blick that the weather was so bad that flying in to rescue the skiers simply wasn’t an option.

He said there were ‘very strong winds, heavy snow, high avalanche danger, and zero visibility’ which would leave rescuers ‘dead in two minutes’.

He added that when the group left Zermatt, the bad weather conditions were already known and he believes that the skiers were caught in the storm rather than struck by an avalanche.

With helicopters unable to brave the storm, five rescuers had tried to reach the rough location on foot from Zermatt, but they too were forced to turn back at an altitude of 9,840ft due to the bad weather, according to local media reports.

On Sunday, a team consisting of two rescue workers, a doctor and a mountain police officer, was finally able to be dropped off by helicopter nearby, police said.

‘At around 9:20 pm, it reached the Tete Blanche sector, where it discovered the bodies of five of the six people who were missing,’ it said in a statement.

The search is continuing for the last member of the group.

‘As long as there is hope we will keep going… while remaining realistic in view of the conditions this person has been in for the past 48 hours,’ Varone said.

Fredy-Michel Roten from the Valais Rescue Organisation told local press that six private rescue helicopters and two Swiss army Super Puma choppers are participating in the rescue mission along with dozens of specialist mountaineers.

Valais lead prosecutor Beatrice Pilloud told reporters that an investigation had been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Zermatt is a popular mountain resort renowned for skiing and attracts tourists from around the world. 

Tete Blanche in particular is very popular with ski tourers who are attracted by the region’s renowned landscape and the challenging terrain it offers. 

The region hosts the esteemed Patrouille des Glaciers race, which sees ski tourers traverse a route from Zermatt through Arolla and on to Verbier. 

But the area is notoriously difficult to navigate during periods of poor visibility, and has proven fatal for even highly experienced skiers and mountaineers.

Nearly five years ago, tragedy struck when 14 members from two ski touring parties became disoriented amidst a fierce storm on treacherous slopes. 

The ensuing rescue operation endured for almost 21 gruelling hours before reaching the stranded groups. 

Seven people died, while the rest were evacuated with varying degrees of injury.

After receiving eight nominations over the course of 24 years, Christopher Nolan finally took home the Academy Award for Best Director last night.

The British-American director, 53, who is now based in Los Angeles, appeared emotional as he delivered his heartwarming acceptance speech for his blockbuster Oppenheimer.

Having thanked Universal Studios and his ‘incredible’ cast and crew, the father-of-four moved his focus to his wife Emma Thomas, who has produced all of his films.

He said: ‘Thank you for those who have been there for me and believed in me my whole career […]

‘My family and the incredible Emma Thomas – the producer of all our films and producer of all our children. I love you.’

The Oppenheimer director married his university sweetheart Emma Thomas in 1997 and the couple share four children. He has previously said he fell in love with his wife at first sight.

Christopher and Emma’s eldest daughter Flora, 23, made a brief appearance in his latest film as a woman whose face melted off in a nuclear blast.

But Flora isn’t the only Nolan child who has followed her parents into the creative arts – with her brothers Oliver, Rory and Magnus all having made cameos in at least one of Nolan’s films.

Despite their parents’ high profile in Hollywood, the children side-stepped the red carpet at last night’s Oscars – but were pictured sitting beside them during the ceremony and watching Christopher’s speech with pride. 

Here FEMAIL delves into Christopher Nolan’s family life – after the director praised his wife and four children for their unwavering support. 

‘Incredible’ producer wife Emma Thomas 

Christopher Nolan met his wife Emma Thomas on their first day as students at University College London in 1989.

Emma was born in London but spent time living in the Middle East as a child as a result of her father’s work in the Civil Service.

Christopher and Emma – who studied English Literature and Ancient History – were placed in the same halls of residence and arranged movie screenings as part of their work with UCL’s Film Society.

In 2017, the director was granted an honorary doctorate and told graduating students: ‘We have four children. We have a body of work that we have made together. 

‘So the moral of the story is: pay a lot of attention to who you meet on your first night at your halls of residence.’ 

During his Desert Island Discs interview in 2008, Christopher said: ‘I’ve come to believe in the concept of love at first sight because I realise it actually happened to me.’ 

In 2001, the couple welcomed their daughter Flora together – just one year before the critically acclaimed film Insomnia, starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams, hit screens.

The same year they became parents, the couple opened their own production company Syncopy Films.

Although the couple are fiercely private, they have shed light on their relationship in previous interviews.

In an interview with Variety, Emma gushed about her husband’s most ‘underrated’ quality.

She replied: ‘He’s funny! People think he’s dead serious, they accuse his films of also being so serious.

‘Even in Oppenheimer there are moments I find funny, even in the actor’s expressions. There is humour in his movies, and I don’t think he gets enough credit for it.’

In an interview with Screen Daily in 2018, Emma shed light on their creative partnership and detailed how she’ll often give her husband books she thinks could be adapted on screen.

She joked: ‘Yes, I’ll continue to give him books and he’ll continue to not be excited by some.’ 

In 2018, Christopher said he enjoys working with Emma and writing scripts with his brother because their ‘only agenda is making the best film possible’.

During his appearance on Desert Island Discs, the director – who was promoting Dunkirk at the time – said the key to his success was ‘surrounding yourself with the people who understand and support what it is you’re trying to do, but are unafraid to criticise… You’re looking for honest feedback without an agenda.’

What’s more, Christopher has also previously credited his wife for coming out with the ‘correct answer’ regarding the end of the 2010 movie Inception.

Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Christopher explained how he was constantly being asked if Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb was still dreaming at the end when the movie first came out.

Praising his wife’s interpretation, Christopher said: ‘I think it was Emma who pointed out the correct answer, really, is that the character, Leo’s character – the point of the shot is the character doesn’t care at that point. It’s not a question I comfortably answer.’

The couple’s eldest child Flora appears to be following her parents into the creative industry – having studied Collaborative Arts at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Flora supported her father last year when she made a fleeting appearance in Oppenheimer as a woman who is affected by a nuclear bomb. 

In June 2023, Christopher revealed that he cast Flora as a woman whose face melts off in Oppenheimer in the wake of a nuclear bomb explosion.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the director explained: ‘We needed someone to do that small part of a somewhat experimental and spontaneous sequence. So it was wonderful to just have her sort of roll with it.’

Although Christopher admitted that the casting may have seemed strange at first, the director said watching his daughter play that part brought the subject matter really hit home for him.

He added: ‘The point is that if you create the ultimate destructive power it will also destroy those who are near and dear to you. 

‘I suppose this was my way of expressing that in what, to me, were the strongest possible terms.’ 

In an interview that appears on the university’s website, Flora revealed that she is also an aspiring filmmaker and credits her father for showing her how to film on Super 8 movie film.

She said: ‘My dad taught me how to shoot on Super 8 when I was younger and I’ve been into it ever since. I just love the way it looks. 

‘Shooting on film has given me a really great understanding of light and colour and I would love to shoot on larger format if I get a chance.’

What’s more, she also revealed that she is following in her mother’s footsteps by producing a short film with two friends. 

On top of this, Flora is also an aspiring musician – and detailed in the interview how she likes to layer ‘ambient sounds’ in her productions.

She added: ‘I’ll record the birds outside or rain or people talking and use that as a starting point. I love singing and it just feels like a really interesting tool to use. 

‘There are a lot of ways you can sample and chop up the human voice to create all kinds of sounds.’

Following in his big sister’s footsteps, aspiring photographer Magnus Nolan, 15, also made a brief appearance in one of his father’s films. 

When he was a toddler, Christopher and Emma’s son played James Cobb in Inception.

He only appeared in fleeting moments in the film and was seen from the back playing on a beach in Cobb’s memory.

What’s more, Magnus’ father has been especially supportive of his dream of becoming a photographer.  

In June 2023, Wired magazine published a profile of Christopher Nolan featuring only images his son had taken. 

The following month, Magnus travelled to China with his father to promote Oppenheimer. 

The aspiring photographer also walked the BAFTAs red carpet with his parents in London last month.

Like Magnus and Flora, Rory Nolan has also made a cameo in his parents’ films.

Christopher and Emma’s son is credited as the ‘boy on the bridge’ in the 2014 movie Interstellar.

In The Dark Knight Rises, Rory appeared as ‘the boy on the bus’ during one of Batman’s battles.

According to Screen Rant, Nolan names the working titles of his films after his children and The Dark Knight rises was dubbed ‘Rory’s First Kiss’.

The publication reports that Inception was dubbed ‘Oliver’s Arrow’ for a time while Interstellar had the working title of ‘Flora’s Letter’.

In 2006, Christopher and Emma’s eldest son Oliver was only a baby when he appeared in their film The Prestige, starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Michael Cane. 

While promoting Oppenheimer, Christopher shed light on a conversation he’d had with his children about the film.

Speaking to Wired, the director said: ‘I told one of my sons about it as I started to write it, and he literally said to me: “But nobody really worries about that anymore.”

‘Two years later, he’s not saying that. The world’s changed again. And that’s a lesson for all of us, but particularly for the young. The world changes fast.’

As well as paying tribute to his wife in his BAFTA acceptance speech last night, Nolan also recognised campaigning groups who have ‘fought long and hard to reduce the number of nuclear weapons’.

He added: ‘In accepting this I do just want to acknowledge their efforts and point out they show the necessity and potential of efforts for peace.’ 

Oppenheimer won a whopping seven Oscars at Sunday night’s Academy Awards – while rival Barbie only won one.

The historical epic directed by Christopher Nolan swept the major categories with wins for Best Actor Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor Robert Downey Jr. and Nolan – with the film also winning Best Picture.

In contrast, Barbie, who memorably won against Oppenheimer in the ‘Barbenheimer’ box office showdown over the summer, walked away with just one award for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish and Finneas McConnell. 

Downey Jr. jokingly thanked his ‘terrible childhood’ as he finally won an Oscar for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss, was delighted as he took to the stage –  after host Jimmy Kimmel made a very awkward quip about his drug use.

The veteran actor – who has acted for over five decades –  took home the Academy Award over stiff competition including Sterling K. Brown, American Fiction, Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon, Ryan Gosling, Barbie, and Mark Ruffalo, Poor Things.

He continued: 'Here's my little secret. I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris knew it, Emma made sure that she surrounded me with one of the great casts and crews of all time, Emily, Cillian, it was fantastic

The talented star took to the podium to showcase his signature wit and even joked about his ‘terrible childhood’ while accepting the honor.

He said: ‘Thank you, thank you. Ah — thanks, Sam, thanks, fellas. You only flubbed one line. I’d like to thank my terrible childhood and The Academy, in that order.

‘I’d like to thank my — veterinarian — I meant wife, Susan Downey over there. She found me a snarling rescue pet and you loved me back to life. That’s why I’m here. Thank you.’

The talented actor went on talk about how much he needed his role in Oppenheimer while thanking director Christopher Nolan and castmates Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy.

Queen Camilla will lead the extended royal family at Monday’s Commonwealth Day service, with the absent king ordering all able-bodied working royals to attend.

This casts an unwelcome light on the Royal Infirmary (the King, Kate and Princess Alexandra) and highlights the weakness of others.

The Duke of Kent (89 this year) now needs a stick or wheelchair to get around and the Duke of Gloucester turns 80 in August.

And the one-time baby of the Windsor clan Prince Edward turns 60 on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Camilla is expected to appear at the Cheltenham Festival to indulge her love of the jumps.

Princess Anne, who lives down the road, is also in attendance, along with daughter Zara, a director in Cheltenham.

With Anne’s own equestrian show, the Festival of British Eventing, Zara may be able to find a job for her brother Peter Phillips, who was heavily involved in the festival at mum’s estate in Gatcombe Park.

The Department of Defense did well financially by prematurely announcing that Kate would be attending Trooping the Color in June.

There was an unprecedented rush for the £15-a-head tickets, with more than 90 percent disappearing within the first 12 hours.

Tickets for the Review are normally slow to come by (which is why a proposed price increase to £20 was shelved) and it is rarely a complete sellout.

Kate is clearly still a big box office hit, even though she may call in sick that day.

What about former The Weakest Link presenter Anne Robinson and the Welsh?

She was investigated by the Broadcasting Standards Commission for describing them as ‘annoying and annoying’ but has now fallen foul of Peter Underhill, agent of former Wales rugby captain Colin Charvis.

Sitting opposite her on the train from Kemble, Peter reminded her of Colin’s appearance on TWL with a broken nose.

‘He told me and the whole carriage that Colin and his mother never recovered from it when I asked him rudely: Did everyone in Wales have a nose that turned half to the left?’

Drama critics are gearing up for performer Eloina’s first night in High Steaks at the New Diorama theater, where she will appear naked with two steaks hanging from her labia “in a profound, heartfelt and healing call to action against body-shaming.”

Given the number of Fleet Street theater critics who are confirmed bachelors, should there be extra St John Ambulance officers on standby?

Prince Harry has again been criticized for his use of private jets, this time by rugby coach Eddie Jones.

The 38-year-old royal was mocked by the Australian rugby pro, who was watching a training session when he made the comments, according to the sun.

The Duke of Sussex also attended the session, after which he was given the chance to speak to the players as part of his former role as rugby patron for England.

Eddie, who was in charge in England between 2015 and 2022, said: ‘How is climate change going? How was Elton John’s plane?’

This involved Harry and his wife Meghan, 42, who used the musician’s private jet to fly to Nice in 2019.

In defense of the couple, who opted for the plane despite multiple commercial flights flying daily from London to the destination, Elton John said the couple needed the security.

The Sun reports that the comments were shared on the Speaking on the For the Love of Rugby podcast.

Dan Cole told teammate and host Ben Youngs: “Do you know that Prince Harry used to come over and watch us train?’

He continued: ‘There was one time he was standing there saying something to the group, and then Eddie said, “How’s climate change going, mate? How was Elton John’s plane?”.

The duo described the comment as ‘pretty good’ and laughed as Ben accused Dan of throwing both Eddie and Prince Harry under the bus.

Harry, who became patron of the England Rugby Football Union in 2016 and the Rugby Football League in 2017, lost the role when he and Meghan retired from royal life.

Both roles are now filled by Kate Middleton, who was given them by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The 2019 incident wasn’t the only time Harry and Meghan have come under fire for using private jets, despite describing themselves as environmentalists.

In November last year, the couple were branded ‘eco-hypocrites’ after flying to a Katy Perry gig on a private jet.

Harry and Meghan, along with a host of other celebrities, flew from Santa Barbara to Las Vegas on a plane owned by Texas oil heir Michael Herd.

Cameron Diaz and her husband Benji Madden, as well as actress Zoe Saldana, flew on the Gulfstream jet on a private 40-minute flight to watch the final show of Perry’s Vegas residency.

When contacted by The Sun about Harry and Meghan’s flight, Herd said they were “just going for dinner and seeing Katy’s last show.”

He added: “They’re nice people,” and said he had no comment on the criticism of the Sussexes’ private flight because “I’m not them.”

Gary Goldsmith gets a chance to argue for his place in the house while house tenant Sharon Osbourne makes a judgment about who should be evicted.

The 58-year-old millionaire businessman was one of three housemates in the ‘danger zone’ and was at risk of being singled out by Sharon as one of the stars about to be eliminated.

Gary, David Potts and Zeze Millz all get a chance to explain why they have to stay in the house, as they all beg her to keep them inside.

Gary admits he wants the chance to change the public’s perception of him after always being known as the ‘black sheep’ of the family.

Sharon says, “So we’re going to have a nice chat, Gary. Tell me, why did you accept the offer to enter the house?’

Gary says: ‘It bothers me what the public perception of me is. The black sheep of the family. I’m a normal guy. Coincidentally, my niece married Will.”

Then Sharon speaks to David.

Sharon says: ‘When I first met you and I saw you without pants, I was quite shocked. And when we started talking, I realized it was your thing. Not that I’m a prude, because I’m not.’

Sharon continues, “How did you feel when you found out you were in the ring of fire?”

David says: ‘I wasn’t shocked at all as I’ve had this happen quite often in my life. At first impressions, people are kind of like, ‘woo, he’s just craving attention,’ when that’s just not the case.”

Finally, Zeze goes to Sharon’s lair to chat with her.

Sharon says, “Zeze, I want to get to know you better.”

Zeze says: ‘I get a lot of comments online because I say how I feel.’

Sharon says, “What do you hope will come out of this show?”

Zeze adds, “I think it’s more about people seeing a different side of me. People think I’m a stubborn person.’

With 22 children to care for, the busy mum is no stranger to setting boundaries, especially after becoming famous for having the largest family in Britain.

In addition to their documentary series, the Radfords also have a thriving YouTube channel and a family business, meaning they are never out of the spotlight for long.

Unfortunately, this has made the TV star and her family perfect goal for trolls online.

Due to the intense interest in their personal lives, the 48-year-old had to protect her family even more – as she explained. OK.

Like many children, the Radford clan were not allowed to use phones until they reached high school (11 years old) and the younger children were even banned from social media.

Sue has even backed the government’s plan to ban mobile phones in schools after being shocked by the hateful comments her family have received online.

This is especially true after the family has taken several luxury vacations over the past 18 months, with the TV matriarch saying that “people just jump to conclusions.”

She said emphatically, “We make no claim advantages – the cake company is very successful, just like our media company. We work hard, but we certainly don’t millionaires!”

“However, the trouble is disturbing. We just want to give our children the best life possible.”

Although she dismisses most of this as jealousy, it was a personal incident that left her feeling particularly shaken.

Sue and Noel Radford are shamed by their parents for ‘using children to make money’ while five-year-old Bonnie quits tutoring app

“I was in Sainsbury’s when a woman snorted disapprovingly at me and gave me the nastiest look – it was like she wanted me dead,” she recalled.

Continuing, she added: “When I challenged her, she told me she thought ‘a lot of people’ wanted to give me the same look. It was horrible.”

Worse still, she’s not the only one who has become a target in the family, as her daughter Ellie received numerous cruel comments after posting photos of her 18th birthday.e birthday.

“Some of the reactions were shocking; they were accused of having an eating disorder,” the proud mum explained, adding: “But she had just been unwell and had lost some weight. It was horrible.”

While most of us would shun the spotlight after this, the mother of 22 refuses to let trolls ruin a life she’s worked so hard for.

“We never look back. We love our lives and what we have achieved,” she declared, as the family worked around the clock for the release of their book – The Radfords: Making Life Count.

She movingly told the press: “It’s called Making Life Count, because with so many children you just have to make the most of every moment.”

We think you have to do that with such a large brood.

The Duchess of York appeared to say some words of wisdom to Christian Horner as they caught up at the Bahrain Grand Prix yesterday.

The 50-year-old Red Bull boss was at the center of a scandal this week after flirtatious WhatsApp messages he apparently sent to a female colleague were leaked online – days after he was cleared of inappropriate workplace conduct.

At yesterday’s Grand Prix, Christian and his wife Geri, 51, put on a united front as they arrived hand in hand before exchanging a kiss in front of the cameras.

Zara and Mike Tindall, Peter Phillips, the Duchess of York and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were also in the crowd to watch Red Bull secure first and second place in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

After their victory, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Eugenie and Jack walked to the track to congratulate the Red Bull team on their success.

After their brief conversation, Sarah Ferguson appeared to place a comforting hand on Christian’s torso

The Duchess of York, who has faced a host of scandals during her time in the spotlight, appeared to have a lively conversation with Christian as he listened attentively.

At one point, Sarah placed a comforting hand on Christian’s arm as they exchanged a few short words.

The F1 boss then greeted Princess Eugenie, 33, by giving the royal a quick kiss on the cheek.

After their brief conversation, Sarah placed a comforting hand on Christian’s torso as they parted.

For the event, Eugenie wore a black floral midi dress from All Saints with fun, floaty sleeves. Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson opted for a light blue Gucci jacket and black trousers.

Later in the evening, Mike and Zara Tindall and her brother Peter Phillips also appeared on the circuit to pose next to the car of winner Max Verstappen.

The mother of three wore a white blazer from ME+EM, a miniature black leather handbag from Aspinal and a pair of white Superga sneakers.

Sarah Ferguson’s appearance at the Bahrain Grand Prix comes as the Mail on Sunday revealed the Duchess was told her skin cancer does not appear to have spread.

Sarah, 65, suffered a devastating blow in January when doctors discovered malignant melanoma during a second bout of reconstructive surgery following her breast cancer diagnosis last year.

The news came as a ‘huge shock’ to Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, but friends said she was determined to ‘come back’.

A friend told the Mail on Sunday that she had just learned that these were all ‘cancer-free’ and that doctors believe there has been no spread of the disease

Although she must remain vigilant and undergo regular 12-week check-ups, the news was the ‘best possible outcome she could have hoped for’ and her prognosis is good.

Christian Horner was cleared to continue as head of Red Bull following an internal investigation into ‘inappropriate conduct’ by the F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH. The 50-year-old has always denied the claims.

The Red Bull F1 boss initially broke cover during Saturday morning’s Grand Prix with no trace of his wife Geri Halliwell after his wife discovered the texts had been leaked while flying on a private jet.

An insider previously told the Mail there would be ‘chaos’ if Geri showed her face at Saturday’s Grand Prix.

Halliwell, who married the Red Bull team boss in 2015, had a “meltdown” when she landed in the Gulf state on a private jet on Thursday and discovered the bombshell messages plastered all over social media.

The 51-year-old singer has a son, Montague George Hector Horner, with Horner.

She also has a daughter, Bluebell Madonna, born in 2006, with former partner and screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.

The hidden stories behind famous photos of Princess Diana will be shared in a successful exhibition coming to London for the first time.

Iconic moments including Diana’s wedding to Charles in 1981, her black ‘revenge dress’ and groundbreaking gymwear style are all on display in the Princess Diana: Accredited Access Exhibition.

Photographers Anwar Hussein and his two sons Samir and Zak will share their remarkable photographs of the late Princess and her family, combined with their first-hand accounts of the stories behind each moment.

The film has so far been shown in Melbourne, South Carolina, Las Vegas and more – and now comes to St Katharine Docks in London for the first time from May 25.

The exhibition features “larger-than-life sculptures, bespoke art installations and first-hand accounts” in a 60-minute experience that delves into the lives of the royal family.

Anwar said Diana told him that a photo of her cradling a child during a visit to a hospital in Lahore in 1996 was her “favorite photo of all.”

Accredited by the Royal Family, the Husseins are the longest-standing family of official royal photographers, having collectively worked side by side with the Princess and her family for more than forty years.

They were given special access to document the lives of the royal family in public, but also to capture more intimate, private moments, including the unforgettable revenge dress that dared to break royal protocol and the simple handshake of the princess with an AIDS patient who showed the world how to be human.

Samir and Zak followed their father’s footsteps into royal photography by documenting the lives of Diana’s sons Prince William and Prince Harry, and are now multi-award winning and celebrated photographers themselves

One story the exhibition tells is the moving image of Diana cradling a sick child in her arms during her visit to Imran Khan’s cancer hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, in April 1996.

The photographers talk about the moment: ‘Diana later told me that of the many photos taken of her, this was her favorite…

“She was so sad to hear that the boy had died shortly after her visit.”

The exhibition tells how iconic photos of Diana wearing her ‘Fly Virgin Atlantic’ jersey, a gift from Sir Richard Branson, might never have come to light without the personal relationship between Anwar and the princess.

Diana often wore it when she left the gym at Chelsea Harbor Club in London.

Anwar’s sons describe: ‘Dad told Diana he wanted to see how health conscious she was and be inspired by her.

“She agreed, so he took these photos of Diana coming out of the gym.

‘Her popularity skyrocketed as audiences showed their admiration for her willingness to go against the grain and forego formality.’

In addition to the famous revenge dress and the iconic photo of Diana at the Taj Mahal, the family also shed light on photos of Diana that haven’t been seen as often by the public.

One shows Diana in a casual white shirt dress during a visit to Ayers Rock during a royal tour of Australia in 1983.

‘I am delighted that the images taken, as well as those of my sons, are coming to London to recognize and commemorate such a remarkable woman and her sons.

“There are so many memories of our two families bonding and building a special relationship, and I am pleased to be able to showcase these in such a unique way through the exhibition.”

The Princess Diana: Accredited Access Exhibition will open on May 25, 2024 at Dockside Vaults in St Katharine Docks until September 2.

Tickets are available to book from 10am on Thursday 29 February and can be pre-ordered now from £17 from PrincessDiana.London
