Queen Camilla thanks you with a personal card
The British royal family is going through difficult times. King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, are all the more pleased about the unwavering support of their fans. One of them is now sharing a personal message from the Queen on Instagram. On the front of the card there is a photo of the royal couple in front of the British flag.

Count Nikolai makes Instagram mistakes
Since his grandmother Queen Margrethe, 84, stripped him of his title, he is no longer allowed to call himself prince. But instead, Count Nikolai, 24, has become an influencer and is active on Instagram with his own profile. The student, who works as a model, apparently got lost in a sea of rules that apply on the platform.
Nikolai recently wrote an article promoting a jewelry collection by designer Georg Jensen. But as the Danish “Ekstra Bladet” noticed, the son of Prince Joachim, 54, and Princess Marie, 48, apparently forgot to mark the posting as advertising right at the beginning. Instead, he put the reference to advertising at the end. Meanwhile, Count Nikolai has corrected the mistake.

Prince William is pursuing his passion project
After Prince William, 41, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, caused a storm of cheers among their fans with a slightly delayed birthday photo of Prince Louis, the palace announced another beautiful piece of news a few hours later on the special day of Wales’ youngest son: Prince William will soon have an official appointment again.

New photo of Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip causes astonishment
Princess Sofia, 39, and Prince Carl Philip, 44, keep royal fans updated on their engagement and royal obligations on their official Instagram account. But the couple’s latest social media post causes irritation at first glance. Sofia and her husband share a recording from a recent appointment that they both attended – but at the same time apart from each other. This is a video conference with Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.
As is easy to see, the prince and princess are not sitting in the same room. Both joined the video call separately. While the 39-year-old sits in front of a decorated wall with an impressive wooden sideboard, Carl Philip appears to be calling from the road. The portrait format shows that he is obviously taking part with his cell phone. His outfit also suggests this: the 44-year-old is wearing his jacket and holding his cell phone as if he were taking part in the call while walking.
Apparently the royal didn’t want to miss the appointment with Julie Inman Grant. No wonder, after all, the Commissioner for Child Safety on the Internet is committed. A topic that the prince couple has been addressing for a long time with their “Prinsparets Stiftelse” foundation. [z. Dt.: Stiftung des Prinzenpaares] dedicated. The official homepage says: “The Internet has a lot of good things to offer, and that’s exactly why we are committed to a safer online life. Children and young people are particularly vulnerable to the insecurities that can exist online. For many, the consequences are of hatred, threats, bullying or harassment serious and lasting.” Australia is a pioneer when it comes to online security. It is the first government agency in the world to take on the fight against online risk and harm.

Duchess Meghan “threatening”? Hollywood star Melissa McCarthy defends Royal
Duchess Meghan, 42, has been dividing opinions ever since she left royal duties. Some love her for her self-confidence and courage, others view her with suspicion – to put it mildly – because she and Prince Harry, 39, caused the British monarchy to be in turmoil by turning away from the crown and subsequent sensational interviews.

I’ve never been threatened by someone amazing. I just think, how inspiring. It’s really because of the people who are spreading the hate.” The Duchess of Sussex is “wonderful” and “great,” emphasized the actress.

Meghan and Melissa may not be close confidants, but the two have already had a high-profile point of contact: In 2021, McCarthy appeared in a video clip for the royal’s 40th birthday and discussed the “40×40” campaign with her in a funny dialogue. attentive. Harry’s wife apparently won the heart of the “Bridesmaids” star through this campaign – and hasn’t lost it to this day.
