After a three-year break, Meghan Markle made a grand return to Instagram on New Year's Day with the handle @meghan.The account debuted with a heartwarming video of the mother-of-two running across a beach to write "2025" in the sand. In an adorable touch, her husband, Prince Harry, was the one capturing this charming moment near their Montecito home. Just days after her new account went live, the royal's follower count skyrocketed, surpassing the one million mark.

Prince George will have to become adept at many skills quite early on to be successful in his role as a senior member of the Royal Family. He will need to master everything from public speaking and conversing in other languages to charity work and even horse riding - if he is to follow in his family's footsteps.

There are many famous buildings all over the country that have their own strange nicknames - but some of the most interesting are in London. You need only think of how Buckingham Palace is known as 'Buck House' or how The Fenchurch Building is better known as 'The Walkie-Talkie' to realise how many there are.

The late Queen was famous for many reasons, from her impressive reign to her vibrant wardrobe and the fact that she owned more than 30 corgis in her lifetime.The Queen's love of the breed was well-known and she even famously said "My corgis are my family." The former monarch was given her first corgi named Dookie at the tender age of seven and even brought her most famous dog, Susan, with her on her honeymoon in 1947. Her devotion to her pets has never wavered, so imagine her shock when she heard what one member of her family had said about what she thinks should happen to the dogs. Princess Michael of Kent is a member of the Royal Family who is famous for openly discussing her opinions on royal life.

While it is known that Balmoral Castle was the late Queen's favourite residence thanks to the privacy she was afforded there, another home that held a deeply special place in her heart was Windsor Castle.The late Queen lived at the historic estate in Berkshire for her entire life, whether that is in the main castle, in Royal Lodge when she was small or at Windlesham Moor with her young family. And there is another rather unexpected home that the monarch was especially fond of which currently sits in the garden of The Duke of York's home that he continues to share with his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York.

When it comes to being a member of the Royal Family, there are countless rules and customs that you have to meet. While those who have been born into the family have a head start, the people who marry in are also required to conduct themselves in a certain way.

Like many of his royal relatives before him, Prince George was born at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, West London.The day after he arrived, the little prince made his public debut outside on the steps of the Lindo Wing in the arms of his parents. While presenting their son to the world's cameras was clearly a daunting process, the Prince and the Princess of Wales had a clever plan to ensure that their departure from the hospital in front of the world's media ran as smoothly as possible.The sweet story was proudly revealed by Kate on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, Happy Mum, Happy Baby.

ongoing bitter feud with King Charles over the estate, it appears as though Fergie was unwilling to answer any questions regarding her living situation, according to royal correspondent Richard Mineards.Mineards, who writes for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s local paper the Montecito Journal, revealed that Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice’s mom recently appeared on US TV to discuss the royals.“While other hacks were peppering her with inane questions, I asked Fergie, given her new contract, if she would at last be moving out of Royal Lodge, the Queen Mother’s former home near Windsor Castle, having said previously she couldn’t afford to run any of the homes offered her by her mother-in-law Queen Elizabeth,” Mineards wrote in his latest column.“She was clearly not amused by my query and walked out of the room.”Mineards added that Lord Piers Wedgwood “said I had asked a perfectly reasonable question given her new contract,” which is rumored to sit at $620,000.Later that day, Ferguson reportedly “darted to the other side of the room” after spotting Mineards at a charity fund-raiser hosted by Fergie and James Ogilvy.“James noticed and asked me what had happened. I explained the lunchtime walkout and he rolled his eyes,” Mineards added.Ferguson’s ex Andrew, whom she divorced in 1996 after 10 years of marriage, has been locked in a bitter battle over the royal residence with the king in recent years.The feud kick-started years ago, after the duke was linked to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein, and the duo have been at odds even more so in the last year.Charles had been desperately trying to evict Andrew from the sprawling estate and into a smaller property.

The Princess of Wales' elegance and style has earned her admiration worldwide, not to mention her staunch commitment to a variety of significant charities and patronages. Her influential fashion choices have sparked a trend which is now called 'The Kate Effect', as any outfit she is seen wearing is typically snapped up from the shelves in minutes.The Princess of Wales continually wows onlookers with her impeccable dressing sense during public appearances.

Prince Harry is said to have tragically missed 32 calls from members of the Royal Family as they desperately tried to reach him about his beloved grandfather, Prince Philip's death in 2021. The late Duke of Edinburgh passed away on April 9 at the age of 99.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been praised time and again for their modern approach towards royal duties and responsibilities. But what many people don't realise is that the couple were quietly advancing royal traditions even before their historic wedding in 2011. Prince William and Kate announced their engagement in November 2010 and they married at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.Their big day was watched by an estimated UK audience of over 24 million people.

It's been two years since Prince Harry's explosive memoir, Spare, was published. The book, which became a global sensation and the fastest-selling in history after its release on January 10, 2023, contained shocking revelations that rocked the Royal Family.

Since stepping down from their roles as senior royals in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been openly critical about their experience within the monarchy. From spilling royal secrets in their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 to their revealing Netflix docuseries and the subsequent release of Harry’s tell-all book 'Spare', the Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven’t shied away from sharing their grievances.

Prince William and Prince Harry grew up in an intense period of media interest where every step they took was photographed or written about. Whether it was their first day of school or joining their parents on a royal tour, the press were there to witness every moment.This explains why the two princes are so fiercely protective of their own families' privacy and why they have entirely redefined when and how their children can be seen in public.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are well-known for their light-hearted bickering in public when it comes to a competition. Whether it is a boat race against survival expert Bear Grylls, in which Kate was disqualified - much to Prince William's amusement - or a game of table tennis, the couple are always trying to do better than one another during their public engagements.This competitive spirit has extended to cheeky comments about each other in public before.

Height is not something that our late Queen had in abundance, she was instead famous for her brightly-coloured outfits and her wicked sense of humour. Standing at just 5ft 3, she was often towered over by members of her family and the people she meets, in particular by her grandson, the Prince of Wales, who is currently the tallest member of the Royal Family at 6ft 3 inches tall.

Netflix lifestyle series titled “With Love, Meghan” on Thursday.In the teaser, the former actress shows off her cooking and gardening skills with appearances from her celebrity friends including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, Alice Waters and her “Suits” co-star Abigail Spencer.However just hours after the trailer hit social media, McCain ripped Markle as “tone deaf” for releasing the “out of touch” project.“Now that she wants to be American again instead of British aristocracy what she seems to forget is Americans want real, raw, uncensored,” McCain wrote on X Thursday. Admitting that she was a Markle supporter at first, the daughter of Republican Senator John McCain said her thoughts on the runaway royal changed “like the rest of the world” after she “disrespected the royal family.”Markle, along with her husband Prince Harry, quit royal life in 2020 and moved across the pond in search of privacy.McCain claimed Markle’s lifestyle is unattainable for a slew of Americans, many of whom “can’t pay for groceries.”“All of this even in the trailer is highly curated, produced and out of touch,” McCain said.“We are a country in rage, uncertainty and intensity right now.

During her stint as a working royal, the Duchess of Sussex was hands-on with several charities and rolled out some key initiatives. She had a penchant for advocating mental health, championing women's rights, and bridging communities - like when she united Grenfell Tower fire survivors through the Together: Our Community Cookbook project.

It is well-known that King Charles is a dedicated grandfather and spends as much time as possible with the youngest members of his family, despite his overwhelmingly busy schedule.There have been a number of times over the years that he has shared cute anecdotes about the youngsters or could be overheard organising plans to go and see them.The King has five grandchildren: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from his eldest son, Prince William, and Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from Prince Harry. He is also the step-grandfather of Queen Camilla's five grandchildren, Lola and Freddie Parker-Bowles and Eliza, Gus and Louis Lopes.

Very few of us need reminding that The Prince and Princess of Wales' famous love story began at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.The couple met during their first year when they were both living at St Salvator's Halls of Residence, going on to live together in a shared house with other pals in their second year. As you may imagine, when Prince William enrolled at the university he found himself quite the centre of attention when it came to advances from young women.This allegedly made William quite nervous as he was "too polite" and didn't know how to reject their favour.
