Prince William and Duchess Catherine think of flood victims
Not only in Germany, the news of the last few days has been dominated by the terrible images of the flood disaster. In England, too, people show sympathy. Prince William, 39, and Duchess Catherine, 39, now addressed the victims with compassionate words.
With a public statement, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge express their condolences to the people affected by the floods in Germany and neighboring countries. “The damage and loss that the flood has caused in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands is devastating,” said the embassy. “We think of all those who are affected by these floods.”

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: This is what their summer plans could look like
Since the birth of Lilibet Diana on June 4, 2021, Prince Harry, 36, and Duchess Meghan, 39, have been on parental leave. The “Hello Magazine” now deals with the question of how the royals could spend their free time. What is certain is that Harry and Meghan will stay on their estate in Montecito, California to spend time with Lili and their son Archie, 2. In the scandalous interview with Oprah Winfrey, 67, Prince Harry revealed that he and Meghan enjoy cycling around their property or walking their dogs on the beach. The royals also run a chicken coop and a vegetable garden, which will certainly take their attention even in the summer months.
“Hello Magazine” also thinks it is likely that Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, 64, will often visit the small family to spend time with her grandchildren. In addition to Doria, numerous friends of the couple are expected on the Sussexes estate during the summer months. Prince Harry has made friends with prominent neighbors like presenter James Corden, 42, and actor Orlando Bloom, 44, since moving to California.

Prince George: On his first European Championship experience, he received an English crash course
For Prince George, 7, it was probably one of the most exciting experiences of his life so far. The son of Prince William, 39, and Duchess Catherine, 39, were allowed to accompany his parents to two decisive matches for the English team during the European Football Championship. In the process, the little leisure kicker learned a lot not only about the sport, but also about his English origins, as Guy Kelly of the British newspaper “Telegraph” finds.
“Hope, despair, drinking …” are therefore probably the essential basics that were brought to the Mini-Royal. While driving to the tournament final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium in London, the seven-year-old was able to learn that his compatriots like to start the day early on such an occasion on a free Sunday, enjoy a pint or two with them tend to choral singing and vandalism with increasing alcohol levels. Arrived in the official gallery, the expectant prince already experienced a touch of desperation among the fans in the face of an impending defeat, which seemed to have been secured in advance in the event of a probable penalty shoot-out.
But the hope that the confident George inspired after the first goal of the Three Lions and which was briefly underpinned by the supposedly self-confident hymn “Football’s Coming Home” inevitably led to the already subliminal despair. Football hasn’t come home for a while. Apparently Papa William forgot to tell his son early. Nobody said being English was easy. But Prince George is now prepared – and one day as king of his country, presumably because of this experience, he will be a compassionate fellow sufferer for his subjects.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s exclusive interview could earn Oprah Winfrey an Emmy
The interview between Prince Harry, 36, Duchess Meghan, 39, and talk show legend Oprah Winfrey, 66, was four months ago. A conversation in which the royals unpacked after their withdrawal from Great Britain and thus also as senior royals: About racism in the palace, Meghan’s depression and suicidal thoughts and the broken relationship between Harry and his brother Prince William, 39, and their father Prince Charles, 72 The interview was like a stab in the back that Harry gave the monarchy. What is certain is that it will remain unforgettable.
And exactly this conversation, which is said to have caused so much suffering in the British royal family and pushed like a barricade between the royals, is now on the list of Emmy nominations. Oprah Winfrey has the chance to win the coveted trophy in the category “Outstandingly moderated nonfiction series or special”. Whether Winfrey will be awarded for the exclusive interview will be decided on September 19, 2021. Also nominated in the category are: David Letterman, 74, with his show “My Guest Needs No Introduction”, the Comedian show “United Shades of America” W. Kamau Bell, 48, as well as the cooking show “Searching for Italy” by Stanley Tuccis, 60 and “Showtime’s Vice”.

Princess Eugenie’s royal offspring enraptured in an England romper
On Sunday (July 11th, 2021) the English national soccer team faced the European Championship final against Italy – and the royals were also excited. Princess Eugenie, 31, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 35, did not join Prince William, 39, and Duchess Catherine, 39, in the stadium, but stayed at their home with their son August, 5 months. But that does not mean that there was less mood there: They too cheered and cheered with the team. Baby August was even put into a special outfit by Eugenie for this special occasion.
The royal offspring wore a romper suit in the design of the English team. Princess Eugenie shared a sweet shot on her Instagram story that shows Baby August kicking joyfully. The video was deposited with the song “Football’s Coming Home”.
Despite the cheers, England failed to take the title home and lost to Italy on penalties.
