Prince Edward treats himself to a family ski vacation
While Prince Andrew, 61, just slipped past an abuse trial, his brother Prince Edward, 57, escaped the headlines with an idyllic family vacation in St. Moritz. Edward, his wife Countess Sophie von Wessex, 57, their two children Lady Louise, 18, and James, Viscount Severn, 14, and some friends are said to have landed in the holiday resort in Switzerland with a private jet, according to the “Daily Mail”.
It’s not the first time the royal family has gone skiing there. In 2016 and 2020, the royals were already photographed storming the slopes. And once again the Wessexes had a good time in their casual ski outfits including helmets and goggles. Mother and daughter both opted for a navy blue jacket, while Edward caught the eye with a bright red ski jacket he wore on vacation six years earlier.
Queen Elizabeth launches luxury perfume for dogs
It’s no secret that Queen Elizabeth, 95, has a heart for dogs, especially corgis. During her reign she is said to have owned 30 of Britain’s herding dogs. So it’s hardly surprising that the monarch wants to do something good for her and all four-legged friends. She is said to have released a perfume for dogs, as reported by “The Sun”.
The “Coastal Walks” version of “Happy Hounds Dog Cologne” exudes a “rich, musky scent with citrus notes of bergamot”. The bottles bear the coat of arms of the Sandringham estate, the Queen’s retreat in Norfolk, and cost the equivalent of around 12 euros in the souvenir shop. “Dog perfume is becoming increasingly popular, especially among people who want to indulge in a bit of luxury and pamper their pets,” the description continues.

Princess Eugenie celebrates pink Valentine’s Day with husband Jack Brooksbank
Princess Eugenie, 31, was just enjoying herself with her cousin Prince Harry, 37, at the Super Bowl in Inglewood, California, when Prince Andrew’s daughter, 61, naturally took time for her lover Jack Brooksbank, 35, a day later. Finally Royals also celebrate Valentine’s Day, as Eugenie proves on her Instagram account – and all in kitschy pink.
With a radiant smile, Eugenie and Jack are standing in a sea of pink flowers. Just like the day before at the stadium, Eugenie opted for a casual leisure look for this flowery outing. The photo with which Eugenie wishes her fans a “Happy Valentine’s Day” was most likely taken somewhere in Los Angeles, the couple is spending a few days there to visit Harry, his wife Duchess Meghan, 40, and their two children.

Zara and Mike Tindall coo through Rome
Whenever they appear somewhere, Zara, 40, and her husband Mike Tindall, 43, seem very harmonious and familiar. Even after more than ten years of marriage and three children, they still throw loving looks at each other. The former rugby pro would even renew his marriage vows to the Queen’s granddaughter, he admitted at a panel in November 2021. No wonder the couple bring plenty of romance to a sports venue in Rome.
After blasting around Rome on an e-scooter, as Mike and Zara captioned it on his Instagram Story, Mike and Zara both stopped by yesterday’s Sunday at The Green Room, an exclusive venue where guests are treated to expert analysis of sports like rugby – under others by Mike Tindall himself. That’s what it says on the in-house website. But so close to today’s Valentine’s Day, the parents of three brought pure romance to the store – at least that’s what the sweet snap of the two that the venue shared on its Instagram Story suggests.

Prince Charles is said to have banned Prince Andrew from Windsor Castle
Queen Elizabeth, 95, stripped her alleged favorite son of all military titles and patronage after it became known that Prince Andrew, 61, had to face the civil suit brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 38, in the United States. Prince Charles, 73, is also said to have cracked down and asked his brother to stay “out of sight”. He has banned Prince Andrew from Windsor Castle, a source close to the heir to the throne told The Sun.
Charles feels deceived by Andrew, who assured him three years ago that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, † 66, would take care of itself. Since Andrew was “fired” from the company, he has not been seen near Windsor Castle – Charles is said to be behind it. “Charles wants Andrew out of sight […] to have. He [Prinz Andrew] has been warned to keep a low profile. Charles doesn’t want Andrew to be photographed every other day looking happy and waving as he’s being driven to the castle,” the source said.
It is even conceivable that the Duke of York will be expelled from the Royal Lodge where he lives with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 62, and from Windsor itself when Charles is king. Other sources would not rule out the possibility that Andrew Fergie would remarry if they were forced to fend for themselves.
