The Duchess of Cambridge will be in Copenhagen from tomorrow (Tuesday, February 22) as part of a working trip with her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.While the 40-year-old is there, she will be given an official welcome from Queen Margrethe of Denmark, 81, and she will also spend some time with Crown Princess Mary, 50, on a visit to a project that aims to protect women and children from domestic abuse.Mary and Kate first met back in 2016 at the Royal Ascot and similarities have often been drawn between the two as they have similar interests.The Crown Princess established her own foundation to improve the lives of vulnerable women and children in 2007, while Kate launched the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in June 2021.The two even share a similar taste in fashion as their favourite designers are Emilia Wickstead, Erdem and Jenny Packham.But royal fans have even gone as far as to say the royal pair look alike too as they have described the resemblance as being 'uncanny' - and the comparison has been going on for years.Back in 2010, a royal fan tweeted: "Anyone noticed the uncanny resemblance between Kate Middleton & Princess Mary of Denmark?"

You unify people by finding solutions together, not by vilifying those who say there is a better way.“What we need right now from our leadership is unification, and that requires being willing to see, recognise and hear from the people sitting out in the cold at your door.”Earlier this year, Evangeline Lilly revealed she joined thousands of protestors in Washington D.C.

Porridge Radio have announced details of their third album ‘Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky’ and shared its first single ‘Back To The Radio’.The band have also confirmed their biggest-ever UK headline tour alongside a series of intimate in-store shows around the record’s release.‘Back To The Radio’ was written by frontperson Dana Margolin ahead of the release of the group’s acclaimed 2020 album ‘Every Bad’, a time when she felt like “a lot of things were coming that I wasn’t sure I knew how to handle”.“The song grew out of a feeling of intense loneliness and being unprepared for what everybody was promising me was about to happen – and a strong desire to escape without knowing what I wanted to escape to,” she said in a press release. “To me, there’s a huge feeling of catharsis in this song, of letting go and letting it sweep you away.”The song comes with a video directed by Margolin’s sister Ella and finds the singer waking up in a room where papier-mâché furniture is slowly being removed one by one. Later, she joins the rest of Porridge Radio in a room decorated with landscape scenery as people dressed all in black move her around the space.
