Mike Tindall mourns the passing of rugby player
Heartbreaking lines: Mike Tindall, 44, cries for late rugby player The husband of Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall, 41, expressed his bewilderment and sadness on Twitter. The father of three shared an emotional tweet from Minchinhampton Rugby Club on his account. “Unfortunately, on February 10, we lost one of ours,” read the club’s original post. “Euan Warner, who was with us with the under eights, has passed away. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Euan’s family and friends.”
Mike Tindall is shocked: “Terrible news!”; the former professional rugby player comments on his retweet. His thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased. The squad is close to Tindall’s heart as his two daughters Mia Tindall, 9, and Lena Tindall, 4, also play for the same team every Sunday, according to Hello! white.
Lady Kitty Spencer gives a glimpse of her dream wedding
In July 2021, Lady Kitty Spencer, 32, gave the vows to South African fashion tycoon Michael Lewis, 64, in Italy. A connection that was viewed with suspicion by quite a few in British society. The age difference between the couple isn’t trivial, after all. The businessman is even five years older than his father-in-law Charles Spencer, 58. But the niece of the late Princess Diana, † 36, has obviously found her dream man. About a year and a half after the wedding, there is an enchanting post for Valentine’s Day that gives intimate insights into the most beautiful day of her life.
“My Valentine,” the model comments on an extraordinary series of photos that document intimate moments during the romantic yes word. The shots focus on the couple’s hands: tenderly intertwined and in the second of the ring exchange. They are images of loving attachment, which, contrary to all expectations, apparently lasts to this day and is anything but a snapshot.

King Charles + Queen Camilla: no strangers! This photo artist stages her at her coronation
“Try not to screw it up” is his constant mantra. But Hugo Burnand does not have to worry about that at the coronation of King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, on May 6, 2023. The royal couple trusts the photographer, after all he is no stranger to them. After all, the creative head already shot their official wedding photos in 2005. A business card that Prince William, 40, and the Princess of Wales, 41, gladly accepted at their wedding in April 2011 and also hired him for their glossy memories.
According to “The Times”, the internationally renowned portrait and event photographer is to accompany Charles’ and Camilla’s big day artistically and is thus following in the venerable footsteps of Cecil Beaton, † 76, who captured the moment of the coronation of the then 27-year-old Queen Elizabeth, † 96 , held on. This again reveals an artistic turning point: the pictures are intended to unite a modern and traditional style. Beaton’s portraits of the young Queen, taken after the coronation service at Buckingham Palace, differed radically from those taken at the coronation of her father King George VI, †56, in 1937, and even more distinctly from those taken after the ceremony of her grandfather King George V, 70, in 1911. Burnand will now set new accents, in the style of a monarch couple who, in the face of the 21st century, have their eyes firmly on the future.
Hugo Burnand has photographed the royal family on a number of occasions, including the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2011.
