The Prince of Wales speaks movingly to actor Eugene Levy about Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip ‘not being here any more’ during a heartfelt chat on his Apple TV+ show

Prince William has opened up on “missing” both of his late grandparents while speaking to Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy in a special episode of his documentary series. Asked by the actor if he missed Queen Elizabeth, who died in September 2022 shortly after celebrating her platinum jubilee, and her husband Prince Phillip, whose death had come 17 months earlier, he agreed that he did.

“I do actually, yeah, I do miss my grandmother, and my grandfather,” he told the Canadian, who appeared in the American Pie movies during the early 2000s.

Levy, who is two years older than William’s father King Charles at 78, was invited to meet William at the castle in order to be given a personal guided tour for a new episode of his Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler, called Living The Royal Life In The UK.

Prince William is remarkably relaxed and candid as he chats to Eugene Levy about his love of Windsor castle

The Prince of Wales, 43, told him that the Queen, with whom he was especially close, was always in his thoughts when he was at Windsor Castle.

“It’s been quite a bit of change, so you do sort of, you think about them not being here any more, and particularly being in Windsor, for me Windsor is her. She loved it here, she spent most of her time here.”

In the show Levy, known primarily for his comedic skills, is seen arriving in London before receiving a written invitation from Prince William to join him at the castle – and to wear clothes suitable for a dog walk.

The pair chat in a relaxed fashion as they take in the building and wander in the grounds and William tells the screen star that the tour he is giving him has been hugely influenced by his late grandmother. “Showing you around today is very much a case of trying to make sure I’m doing it in the way she’d want you to see it,” he explains.

“She had her horses here as well, as you can imagine that was a big deal for her so that’s why she loved it here.”

In a clip released last week, William was shown having a pint in a local pub with Levy, during which he admitted that 2024 had been “the hardest year I’ve ever had” after his wife Katherine, and his father, were both diagnosed with cancer.

“Life is said to test us as well and being able to overcome that is what makes us who we are,” he reasoned.

Their day together, filmed in February, will be available from Friday and comes after William’s brother Harry made a four-day visit to the UK earlier this month in which he met with his father, King Charles, for the first time in two years but did not see William.

The heir to the throne has spoken previously of his closeness to his “grannie” with whom he spent many holidays and who helped him cope with the loss of his mother, Diana. After the Queen’s death he said: “She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life.”

Royal historian Robert Lacey has said she would give him regular training on how to be king from a young age. “When William became a teenager, she would have him at Windsor Castle and would open the state boxes and guide him through the papers,” he explained last year. “It was William’s constitutional education.”

Radio presenter Katie Breathwick has provided evidence against an alleged stalker who is said to have targeted her and her colleague Myleene Klass

A colleague of Myleene Klass has shared the fear she felt after being targeted by an alleged stalker. Radio presenter Katie Breathwick told jurors she was left terrified by the alleged ordeal, claiming she was posted a DIY will-writing kit, binoculars, perfume and running shoes alongside “unhinged” letters.

Mrs Breathwick told the trial of Peter Windsor, who is also accused of stalking former Hear’Say star Klass, that she informed her Classic FM colleague of his “raving” notes and gifts. She said she felt it was important Klass was made aware of a situation that could potentially put her at risk.

Prosecutors allege that Windsor, 61, stalked both presenters between 2020 and 2024. The Birmingham man is accused of sending Klass an air pistol and fancy dress outfits as well as other “unwanted” gifts.

Birmingham Crown Court heard that Windsor sent a note calling Klass a “naughty vixen”. He is also alleged to have sent Breathwick a letter saying he wanted to go paddling in a lake with both of the presenters while drinking champagne.

Breathwick told jurors on Tuesday that she had received over 100 items from Windsor, saying they had all been sent to Classic FM owner Global’s central London studios. She was providing her evidence from behind a screen in the witness box.

She became audibly upset during the latter parts of her evidence as she went on to tell the court she first received correspondence from Windsor at the start of the Covid pandemic. The alleged stalker has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Speaking at the court, Breathwick said: “The first time I ever really had a prickling instinct that this was a little bit different was March 2020. The first note was something to do with how many push-ups and pull-ups he had done.

“It was weird. It was a note of a personal nature talking about me as if he knew me.”

While answering questions from prosecutor Timothy Sapwell, Breathwick claimed to have been concerned by the parcels at first, saying it “felt unhinged”. She added that it seemed clear that whoever was writing them wasn’t in a good state.

She continued: “Everyone was talking about mental health issues and it was pretty obvious to me that this person was in that situation and that I was the focus of those feelings. It’s deeply, deeply disturbing to know that.”

She later said the handwritten notes were “raving and unstable”, saying it concerned her that Klass was also named in them. “I was aware that it was probably important that she needed to be made aware of this,” she said.

The court has heard Windsor had officially changed his name to Sir Peter Windsor. He is then said to have sent both his alleged victims a note which read it would be “divine to paddle with you both in Buckingham Palace Lake and get you two their brand of £60 bubbly”.

The jury of 10 men and two women listened as Breathwick said: “It really freaked me out.”

During her testimony, Breathwick said she had been told not to tell Klass of the parcels she had received. However, she said she felt she needed to, saying she “felt a duty as as woman to make her aware of a situation that might put her at risk”.

Breathwick rejected suggestions that she had been “catastrophising” when she came under cross-examination by defence barrister Philip Brunt. She explained to the the jury how she saw the parcels as “dirty and malicious”. She explained: “In the context of all of these things, that is not catastrophising, that is being realistic.”

Klass is expected to give evidence on Wednesday and Windsor denies two counts of stalking causing serious alarm or distress. The trial continues.

Brooklyn Beckham has teamed up with his wife Nicola Peltz as they take part in a photoshoot while they’re praised for being ‘unapologetically themselves’

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have appeared to take another swipe at his estranged family following their very public fallout. The Beckhams have been rocked by the feud, which came to ahead earlier this year when the couple missed David’s 50th celebrations.

A series of brutal snubs continued to follow as Brooklyn stayed away from his family throughout milestone moments such as his famous dad’s knighthood and sibling’s birthdays. The 26-year-old even renewed his vows over the summer, with no-one from his family present.

Despite his distance between his family, Brooklyn has continued to live life in the spotlight and shout-out his wife on social media. In his latest move, he has teamed up with Nicola for a photoshoot.

The couple posed for a series of loved-up snaps as they wore matching brown jumpers before getting their makeup touched up and sharing a kiss. Brooklyn and Nicola took part in clothing brand Express’ Icons of Style range.

Their photoshoot was posted on the brand’s social media account and appeared to reference the ongoing fallout. It read: “Introducing ICONS OF STYLE. Featuring @brooklynpeltzbeckham and @nicolaannepeltzbeckham. Distinctly stylish.”

In a telling comment, they added: “Unapologetically themselves. Iconic in every way. The It couple of the moment reinvents signature Express style for today. #DressToExpress.”

Earlier this month, Brooklyn gushed over Nicola’s “supportive” ways as he made a dig at his family. Speaking to Daily Mail at the Ryder Cup All-Star match, Brooklyn said: “There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife.

“Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.” He refused to be bogged down by speculation about his family life, insisting he “never” worries about it.

“Everyone is always going to say rubbish,” he added. “I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.” It’s not just Brooklyn’s parents David and Victoria who have become wrapped up in the rumoured feud.

He is also keeping his distance from his younger siblings, including sister Harper. The 14-year-old has joined social media platform Instagram with a private account, which will be managed by her parents.

Harper has 31 followers on her private account and follows 63 profiles. Her brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, follow her, as do her parents and Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30.

But it appeared her big brother Brooklyn has so far snubbed his sister’s social media debut, along with Nicola. The snub came just days after almost all of the Beckhams took to Instagram to share sweet tributes to the son of Victoria’s sister Finlay, as he celebrated his 21st birthday.

Victoria shared an old snap of her nephew, writing: “Happy birthday. We love you!!!” Romeo followed suit, with a picture of the two of them as children. He wrote underneath: “Happy birthday broskie.” Brooklyn’s tribute to his cousin’s big birthday was nowhere to be seen, and he also stayed away from Romeo’s big day as well.

Stacey Solomon was left sobbing in heartbreaking scenes of her BBC One show as the TV star revealed that her dog Teddy had been rushed to the vet in a terrifying condition

Stacey Solomon broke down sobbing as she revealed devastating news about her dog Teddy on BBC One’s Stacey and Joe.

Stacey’s hit series follows her husband Joe Swash and their family as they navigate life at Pickle Cottage with their many pets – including rescue spaniel Teddy. However, in tonight’s episode, Teddy was suddenly taken ill on Good Friday – with Stacey rushing him to the vet after he lost the ability to walk.

As Joe and son Zachary arrived, she left in tears and embraced Joe, telling him: “It’s not that good. You come in and speak to her. I feel really bad.”

She sobbed: “I don’t know what to do because you can see all his discs are gone, they’ve been bad – it must be hereditary, she said,” Stacey told Joe and her son Zachary. “I don’t know what to do.”

Speaking to the camera, Joe told the show: “At the moment, there’s a 70% chance that he’ll never be able to use his legs again. He’s slipped a disc in his back which is crushing his spinal cord which is making him paralysed.

“Is it fair putting him through an operation with such little chance of recovery? But then, he’s part of our family.”

The couple ultimately signed Teddy up for surgery and left him overnight, but continued to get upset on the car journey home.

Ringing her sister Gemma, Stacey said: “He’s only got a 30% chance of recovery. She didn’t say there’s 0% chance so what do you do? You have to give it a go, don’t you?”

“He has to stay with them until at least Tuesday and that’s if he makes it and the spinal cord doesn’t die,” she added, while Gemma tried to comfort her.

“I’ve got to work out what I’m going to say to them,” Stacey said, referring to her kids. “Because he might not come home, Gem.”

Last week, Stacey delivered an emotional update on social media, months on from Teddy’s operation. In an Instagram video, Stacey explained that she took Teddy for a grooming visit as it was difficult to wash him herself due to him not being able to stand up.

She told fans: “Thank you for always asking after Teddy. It really means a lot. He’s such a happy boy. He’s such a lovely boy.

“He will never be able to use his legs again, but he’s getting used to wheelchair and, just, yeah. You just get on with it don’t you Teddy?”

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse has seen her two ITV talent shows, Dancing On Ice and The Masked Dancer, get the axe – but she’s hoping to appear regularly on another ITV show

Oti Mabuse has teased she is hoping to slide into a regular role on another ITV show after her winter sport reality contest Dancing On Ice was canned by the network. The 34-year-old professional dancer shot to fame in the UK in 2015 when she joined the cast of the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.

During her time on the talent show, she won twice – first with soap actor Kelvin Fletcher in 2019 then comedian Bill Bailey in 2020. She then quit the show after performing with rugby player Ugo Monye in 2021 – before defecting to ITV to take up a chair as a judge on Dancing On Ice in 2022.

But last month, ITV axed the long-running ice skating competition after viewing figures bombed – bringing to an end its 19 year on-off run. Oti has suffered further bad luck as her other ITV show, The Masked Dancer, on which she was a judge, was cancelled in 2024 after just two seasons.

However, the star has now hinted she hopes to land a new role on the network – as a regular panelist on iconic lunchtime talk show Loose Women. Fans of the current affairs discussion show – which includes Denise Welch, Coleen Nolan and Nadia Sawalha as panellists.

Oti made her debut as a guest panellist on the daytime show earlier this month – and viewers may see her appearing on the show more regularly. She has shared her dream of returning to the show in an interview with the Express.

The dancer told the publication: “That was amazing, it was really fun. I have to give it up to Ruth, Jayne and Denise because they were so lovely and we had so much fun, and they made me feel so welcome and at ease.

“I was obviously nervous, but it was nice to be padded around by people who know what they’re doing.” Oti went on to admit it had been less stressful to be a panellist on the series rather than as a guest.

She explained: “I was less nervous as a panellist than I am as a guest because as a guest there’s specific things that you have to say. Whereas a panellist, they just let you talk, and you discuss things and it’s like sitting with your friends and having a coffee and just chatting away.”

Viewers were touched to see Oti open up about difficult topics including her brother’s suicide, why she left Strictly, and her struggles with her body confidence. She revealed: “I think being on Loose [Women], which is what is so amazing about it, is that everybody’s got their independent life experiences.

“And I shared mine and I’m very open about it and I think since th jungle that has helped me to just be me and not be afraid of just being honest and being genuine and being authentic. Those things did happen and I don’t shy away from it.

“They don’t make me less than a person, if anything, I think I’m at a point in my life right now where I can address them and I know how to articulate and be sensitive because other people are going through the same thing, but it’s also to raise awareness.”

Last month ITV confirmed that Dancing On Ice would not be returning to screens following the 17th season, which concluded at the beginning of March. The show had been on the air since 2006 – although was taken off the air from 2015 until its revival in 2018.

An ITV spokesperson said: “Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice.”

Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has opened up about her split from ex-husband Shane Richie, admitting she ‘cried her eyes out’ after he asked to take their sons on holiday with his new partner

Coleen Nolan admits she cried after ex-husband Shane Richie had a request with their sons(Image: No credit)

Coleen Nolan has confessed that she “cried her eyes out” when her ex-husband Shane Richie expressed his desire to take their young sons on a trip with his new partner.

The pop star and the EastEnders actor tied the knot in 1990 and had two sons together, Jake and Shane Jr. However, their marriage ended in 1997 after Coleen found out about Shane’s affair with another woman.

In her autobiography published in 2009, Coleen revealed that Shane was in Manchester performing as Danny Zuko in Grease at the time, while she and their children were living in the south. It was during this period that Coleen began to suspect something was amiss, reports Lancs Live.

Writing in her book, the Loose Women panelist said: “At the after-show party, I can distinctly remember examining this one girl. There were loads of people there but she just stood out. She had really long dark hair and was wearing a skin-tight white dress. Well, it must have been female intuition because that turned out to be the girl Shane had an affair with.”

While appearing on Loose Women: The Podcast, Coleen shared that it was only six months to a year later when Shane made a request that left her devastated. This came after a podcast listener wrote in to say that their ex-husband wanted to take their children away with his new girlfriend.

Coleen recalled: “It happened to me, I remember when me and Shane first split up and obviously, he was with the girl that we had split up because of, and it was about six months, about a year down the line and he wanted to go to Florida with her and the boys. They hadn’t even met her at this point.”

The TV personality opened up about a personal experience, saying: “So I arranged for the boys to meet her with me, and she came to the house, and we chatted. Obviously it hurts you, it hurt me, you’re thinking, ‘what if my kids end up falling in love…because she’s going to be the good guy and she’ll spoil them because she wants them to love her and all of this’.”

She continued her candid revelation: “But then I thought, ‘A, it doesn’t matter what she does, they’ll never love her as much as they love me, I’m their mum’ and secondly, I don’t want the boys to feel guilty and feel guilty going, that they’ve betrayed me. I saw them looking at me like, I knew they really wanted to go to Disney but they’re looking at me and I’m like, ‘No, you’re going to have the best time’.”

Reflecting on her emotions when they left, she confessed: “Don’t get me wrong, they went off, cried my eyes out, fine. What I did is I took myself away for two weeks with a friend, I went and had a lovely time kid free, and it was great.”

After her separation from Shane, Coleen Nolan found happiness once more with musician Ray Fensome, with whom she shares daughter Ciara. They tied the knot in 2007, however their marriage ended in divorce in 2018.

Coleen was more recently in a relationship with Michael Jones after the pair met on Tinder in 2021. However, they split in late 2024.

Shane meanwhile married wife Christie in 2007. The couple live in Surrey and share children Mackenzie Blue, Lolita Bell and Romani-Skye together.

ITV Loose Women got off to an usual start as the daytime show’s theme tune played out with an empty desk visible on screen as the usual programme titles failed to air

The latest episode of Loose Women got off to an usual start as all four panellists were missing.

Fans watching the ITV daytime show at home were left scratching their heads as they tuned into Tuesday’s (September 30) live show.

As the usual theme tune played out, viewers were greeted with an just empty desk instead of the usual four panelists.

Taking to social media, one fan penned: “That was weird #loosewomen.” Another added: “wtf was that? #loosewomen.”

However, it wasn’t long before today’s host Jane Moore walked out of the sliding doors alongside panelists Mariella Frostrup, Kelly Brook and Sunetra Sarker.

Jane quickly kicked off the programme by discussing the latest news headlines and conformed that Kelsey Parker would be joining them in the studio.

“Viewers will also be treated to a show-stopping rumba from Oti Mabuse, and Myleene Klass will accompany the ladies as she showcases her musical talents on the piano.”

In a new promo for the episode, Brenda can be heard calling music “a universal language”, with Myleene saying it “touches your soul” and Kelle stating that “music has always been a part” of her life.

It has been confirmed that Loose Women will airfor just 30 weeks of the year in 2026, rather than airing every single week of the year as it normally does.

The big changes at ITV will also see Lorraine reduced to just 30 minutes and also only airing for 30 weeks a year.

Good Morning Britain is being extended by half an hour, cutting into Lorraine Kelly’s talk show’s traditional 9am start.

Loose Women was halted as a phone started ringing in the audience during the live broadcast, with panellist Myleene Klass left telling the audience “it’s the lawyers”

The latest episode of Loose Women was unexpectedly disrupted live on air during the ITV daytime show.

Jane Moore, who was hosting the panel alongside Linda Robson, Myleene Klass and Brenda Edwards on Monday (April 28), had to deal with an unexpected interruption when a mobile phone started ringing in the studio.

While the panel was engaged in a discussion about whether taking a break can improve a relationship, Brenda shared: “I did try that once” just as an audience member’s phone began to ring.

Myleene lightened the mood by joking: “It’s the lawyers” which left the studio audience and her co-stars in fits of laughter.

Jane later addressed the incident, saying: “I think we’ve sorted out the phone.

“That’s the perils of live television which we were talking about earlier.”

This comes after fans expressed their disappointment over a recent episode of Loose Women, reports Belfast Live.

Beyoncé Knowles’ mum, Tina Knowles, was a guest on Friday’s (April 25) show, where she discussed her new memoir, Matriarch, and her challenging cancer diagnosis.

However, as Tina spoke about the “importance” of friendship, some viewers took to social media to voice their complaints.

One viewer vented on X: “Omg, a pre-record! #LooseWomen – the way you promo’d that should be viewed as the equivalent of clickbait…. (I’m turning over out of principle).”

Another commented: “Sorry but @CharleneWhite should have done the interview with #tinaknowles alone. Jane sucked the energy out of the room! #LooseWomen.”

A third commenter didn’t hold back when they said: “God, you can tell Jane was disinterested in Tina Knowles, and her frostiness was palpable. Also, what was with Coleen and her catty comment?”.

The same person went on to suggest: “Clearly, these women don’t like to celebrate successful women from different backgrounds to them.”

Stacey Solomon issued an emotional update over a week after revealing her family pet dog, Teddy, had all of a sudden taken ill and needed to be rushed to the vets

Stacey Solomon issued a heartfelt update on her pet pooch Teddy after revealing the animal had fallen ill last week. The reality TV star, 35, took to her Instagram Stories to share the latest on the canine’s health after worrying fans last week.

The Loose Women panelist had told followers her and her five children were “truly devastated” last week with the news Teddy “might not ever fully recover” from his condition. They hadn’t been aware of the animal’s condition when they rescued him, but Stacey had admitted the “next 3-4 days are crucial” when breaking the news last week.

Now, over a week later she has apologised for her delayed update. She revealed how Teddy “lost the use of his back legs” on Good Friday, leaving the family in turmoil. She admitted he had shown no signs of pain before the scary incident.

She went on to say the dog had suffered a burst disc, saying vets described how “all of his spine is not looking good at all” with all of the discs looking “really worn”.

As she began to open up fully on events, Stacey emotionally said: “He is home. I got to bring him home last week so he made it through the operation and through the period of time where it was the highest risk following the operation and I got to bring him home.”

Apologising again for her lack of activity, Stacey went on: “I’ve been trying to get me head around things and also I’m not a good crier.

“I’m not a good in-person crier. Like I hate crying in front of people. I just know if I’d have come on I would have cried. I’ve cried a lot.”

Explaining how she had kept herself away from everyone, she added she is “so grateful” Teddy is home. Despite being able to bring her pet home, Stacey revealed she’s “really not well still”.

She continued: “I have moved my work to work from home and cancelled some things so that I can try and help him recover. I do physio with him every day and I have to express his bladder throughout the day. And he’s on medication.”

Expressing his bladder has been “a whole humbling experience,” Stacey admitted. “That has made me cry on a number of occasions because I just felt like I was s*** and doing a s**** job for Teddy and being a really s*** dog mum.”

Stacey revealed her dog is on crate rest for at least four weeks following the major surgery. She teared up again as she explained “this might be Teddy forever” if the animal doesn’t fully recover.

She admitted the family is now taking every day is it comes, with Teddy’s future still in the balance. “We just need to see how it goes from here,” she said.

“There is like a 30 per cent chance he might recover fully but there’s also a massive chance that he’s going to be disabled and unable to urinate for himself and involuntary poos and will need a lot of physio and help for the rest of his life.”

Loose Women viewers were left stunned when Linda Robson dropped a surprise revelation on the show – she has an incredible link to a major Hollywood star

Linda Robson has revealed a huge family link to Hollywood star Anne Hathaway on Loose Women and viewers can’t quite believe it.

The Loose Women favourite, 67, told the panel that her son, Louis, wrote a song about Arsenal because the whole family are all avid supporters of the football team and the song ended up going viral – with Anne, 42, even hearing it and singing it to her millions of Instagram and TikTok followers.

“My son Louis wrote a song – because we are all Arsenal supporters – and my son wrote a song. It wasn’t about Arsenal, it was more about North London where we live, and then the Arsenal supporters picked up on it and it’s gone absolutely mad,” she told viewers.

“Now 60,000 or 70,000 fans are all singing his song over the Arsenal stadium and Anne Hathaway, who I never had a clue was a supporter, is singing it.”

Anne may be best known for her blockbuster film roles, but recently, the Hollywood A-lister has been turning heads for an entirely different reason – her passionate support for Arsenal Football Club.

The star of The Devil Wears Prada and The Dark Knight Rises is a fully-fledged Gooner, and she’s not keeping it under wraps.

In fact, Anne has been taking to TikTok to belt out North London Forever, Arsenal’s emotional anthem, with all the gusto of a Londoner herself. “The group chat is going off. ‘Declan is the man of the day’, I agree mum,” she shared in one post – proving Arsenal fever has taken over the Hathaway household.

Her football allegiance came into full view after she shared a spirited rendition of the anthem following Arsenal’s 3-0 dismantling of Real Madrid in the Champions League. While it’s not entirely clear when her Arsenal obsession began, clues suggest this isn’t just a recent fad.

Back in April 2024, during a press tour for The Idea of You, Anne and co-star Nicholas Galitzine – also a die-hard Arsenal fan -found themselves distracted mid-interview by live match updates.

“One-nil, Trossard!,” Galitzine exclaimed, to which Anne beamed: “Oh I love you,” then quickly added: “Sorry, we’re both fans of the same team, and there’s a match going on right now, and during our last interview they scored.”

The goal they were celebrating was of course Leandro Trossard’s against Wolves in Arsenal’s 2-0 win on April 20, 2024. Trossard even took notice, sending her a message: “Keep supporting us and hopefully see you soon at the Emirates.”

Despite the warm invite, it seems Anne has yet to make her pilgrimage to the Emirates Stadium.

Prior to that interview clip surfacing, there was little public trace of her being a Gunners supporter, but recent months have shown her fandom rising alongside the team’s Champions League charge.

Her love for the club now seems undeniable. Just weeks ago, she posted a photo in a red Arsenal shirt after Bukayo Saka’s comeback against Fulham, captioning it: “Welcome back #7.”
