The Queen really is the most celebrated person in Britain right now - not only have we just had the incredible Jubilee celebrations, it's also her birthday.But wait, you might say - hasn't it just beenthe Queen's birthday back in April?That would be correct because the Queen does in fact have two birthdays - although they perform very different roles.The Platinum Jubilee saw a weekend of joyous celebrations across the nation, with street parties and a long relaxing weekend providing the backing to incredible events at Buckingham Palace, including a pageant and amazing RAF flybys.It also provided a platform for the nation's new favourite royal, Prince Louis, who stole the show with his cheeky mischief and hilarious face-pulling, much to mum Kate Middleton’s dismay.As the dust settles on that wonderful weekend and attention turns to Her Maj’s next big event, why does she have two birthdays and what is the point of them?The Queen has two birthdays to ensure that the weather is nice enough to have a proper military parade to celebrate.The tradition was started in 1748 by George II, who was born in November, which in case you haven't noticed is rather cold and wet.He wanted to celebrate his birthday properly though, so decided to combine the celebrations with the preexisting summer military parade Trooping the Colour.The tradition has carried on and so, now, the Queen has two birthdays - one which is her real birthday and another which is the celebration of her birthday officially.The Queen was born on April 21, 1926 and she usually spends her real birthday privately.The Queen’s birthday parade is known as Trooping the Colour and has been the official celebration of the monarch’s birthday for some 260 years.The event sees the

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly expected the royals to "drop everything" over the Platinum Jubilee, a expert has sensationally claimed.Angela Levin, a renowned critic of the Sussexes, claims the ex-royal couple had expected a "very warm welcome" on their return to the UK.She added that the Firm were "rushed off their feet" throughout the long-awaited events, the Express reports.Writing for the Sun, Ms Levin said: "I think Harry and Meghan expected a very warm welcome and that everyone would drop everything for them."In reality, the royals were rushed off their feet during the four-day Platinum Jubilee."The critic went on to discuss the Sussexes' Harry and Prince William's ongoing rift. She claimed that Prince Harry could "have come over to see his brother when things were quiet enough for a serious conversation."Instead he was with the people who aren’t working royals and, as a result, had a furious look on his face."Adding that William had an "increasingly full diary".

Prince William and Prince Harry has been cranked up a notch, a royal expert has claimed. Throughout the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the siblings barely spoke to each other or cast glances at one another – and while the pageant concluded the four-day special, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were nowhere to be seen as the Sussexes flew off to back to California.

LONDON – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince William to no avail. Let’s not forget that this is a former royal duo who went on international TV to talk about the family that Prince William will one day be the head of, and of course, remains a very bitter pill to swallow for him.

Last weekend's Platinum Jubilee was all about the Queen and her extraordinary 70 year reign but her great-grandson, Prince Louis, somehow still managed to steal the show.The cheeky four year old became a huge hit with royal fans and internet users everywhere. He was first observed pulling comical faces from the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour.

Prince Harry may need to “return to the royal family” to “take pressure” off the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, a royal expert has claimed. Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor-the Truth and the Turmoil, said the current form of the monarchy is “looking a bit skeletal” as it wasn’t meant to “lose Andrew and Harry”. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020 and moved to California in the US to pursue other projects.

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee festivities will “haunt” Prince Harry for the rest of his life, a royal commentator has claimed.Prince Harry recently returned to California with his wife Meghan Markle after celebrating the Queen reaching 70 years on the throne.

During the incredible four days of celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, there was one adorable royal who stole the limelight and won hearts across the nation.

Kate Middleton's sense of style has always been impeccable, with shoppers scrambling to snap up any outfits she's pictured wearing each time she heads out in public. The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, showcased her incredible fashion sense during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, with the Duchess continuing to wow in a number of classy ensembles across the four-day weekend.

BBC Breakfast presenter Jon Kay looked utterly unrecognisable in a throwback snap taken a quarter of a century ago.The star is used to appearing on the iconic red sofa alongside the likes of Sally Nugent and Carol Kirkwood, and tends to rock smart suits and ties for his time on the show.But in the snap shared with his Twitter followers, Jon looked completely different in a dark green fleece and a cheeky grin, as he posed alongside Neighbours stars on the Ramsay Street set.In one snap, Jon could be seen posing alongside Jackie Woodburne, who plays Susan Kennedy, and Alan Fletcher, who plays Dr Karl Kennedy.Jon stood with his hands in the pockets of a pair of black slacks as he grinned at the camera, wearing his brunette hair buzzed a little closer to his head than he does in the present day.The star added a backpack to his ensemble and wore his shirt open at the collar while grinning open-mouthed in another snap, taken aback by being on the Neighbours set.Jon wrote alongside his snaps: “Loving the #Neighbours nostalgia on @BBCBreakfast. This is me backpacking in Melbourne 25 years ago and bumping into the *actual* Kennedys filming on the *actual* Ramsay Street!”Fans simply couldn’t get over how different Jon looked in the pictures, with one writing: “You look sooo young… and a bit Australian! I can see you with a surfboard under your arm (on a sunnier day!).”Another added: “Amazing pic!”“You don’t age!” added someone else, while a fourth said: “Quality! You look so excited!”Another social media user said: “Amazing Jon.

BBC Breakfast fans have been left stunned after Jon Kay shared a 25-year-old throwback picture with the Neighbours cast. Today's show paid tribute to the Australian soap on its final day of filming before coming to an end after 37 years.

Princess Charlotte could be seen 'slapping' her brother's hand out of the way last weekend in a sweet sibling moment. The 7-year-old gave off a royal maturity way beyond her years as she kept her mischievous 4-year-old brother in line during the Platinum Jubilee pageant.Prince Louis drew much public attention on the balcony during the Trooping the Colour ceremony last Thursday (June 2) as he was caught covering his ears and pulling faces as the Red Arrows flew overhead.The four-year-old was then spotted again in the royal box on Sunday (June 5) covering his mother Kate's mouth during the pageant, and appeared at one point to blow a raspberry at his mother when she requested him to stop.When he bit his fist and flailed it through the air later in the event, Kate calmly placed her hand on him in an attempt to calm him down.Charlotte, however, was not having any of it — and quickly batted the hand down to his lap when he tried to do it again, showing her awareness of the high-profile occasion.During the same event she also helped her mum keep him under control by sitting him back down when he jumped up suddenly.In recent days a number of people have leapt to Kate Middleton's defence after harsh comments about her parenting skills.After some on social media claimed Louis' behaviour showed a lack of clear boundaries, celebrities and royal fans have called the criticism unfair.Supernanny Jo Frost commented on a video showing the prince wagging his finger at Kate, saying: “Love how mum is addressing [his behaviour] in public.

While their attendance was relatively drama-free, some staunch royalists claimed they noticed a signal of disdain from Meghan to her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Prince William and Kate Middleton made virtually 'no effort' to introduce their children to Lilibet Diana during the Platinum Jubilee, according to a royal expert.Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's one-year-old daughter and her brother Archie accompanied the Sussexes during their four-day trip to the UK last week.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry didn’t interact with Prince William and Kate Middleton during their brief time together across the pond. And there's a reason. "It was meant to be all about the queen, and it didn’t give people the chance to speculate about their relationship," a royal insider told People magazine in this week’s issue.

This is honestly just a bummer.

Prince George appears unimpressed with younger brother Prince Louis following his cheeky antics at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, despite Royal fans finding him hilariously entertaining. A new clip has surfaced showing the eight year old appearing 'mortified' by his animated sibling as little Louis is seen holding his arms up high above his head while flashing peace signs from the Royal box.

Prince Harry is reportedly “furious” and feels he is owed an apology after he was “largely ignored” at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, a royal expert had claimed. Harry and wife Meghan Markle only attended one public Jubilee event – the service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s – which took place last Friday.The couple sat in the second row of the cathedral, across the aisle from Prince William and wife Kate, however the couples did not appear to engage with each other.The two brothers are also not thought to have met privately during Harry and Meghan’s visit to the UK. According to royal biographer Angela Levin, who spent a year with Harry writing a biography on him, the prince will be "absolutely furious".

With her UK debut, every Royal Family fan has this question on their mind. Did Lilibet meet Prince William and Kate Middleton’s kids?

Prince William has been hailed as a "hero" and "noble man" after he was spotted selling The Big Issue in Central London yesterday.Lucky witnesses in the capital mobbed the royal for selfies but some shockingly didn't notice him as he was well-camouflaged without security guards. The Duke of Cambridge was seen selling the magazine for £3 for around 20 minutes from 2.30pm on Rochester Row in Westminster.

Prince William has been pictured selling the Big Issue magazine in central London, dressed in the distinctive red seller’s hat and vest. The Duke of Cambridge quietly took to the streets of Westminster to sell copies of the magazine, which has been sold since 1991 to offer homeless people the chance to earn income. The identity of the street vendor was discovered by various members of the public who stopped to take photos.
