    Romeo Beckham cosied up to his glamorous new girlfriend Kim Turnbull as she accompanied him to the launch of his mother Victoria’s capsule collection with Mytheresa on Thursday in New York.

    The former footballer, 22, and American DJ, 23, looked happier than ever as they posed for a picture together at the swanky event, which took place at Coqodaq restaurant in Manhattan.

    Romeo cut an effortlessly stylish figure in a black knitted jumper and smart trousers, teamed with a pair of shiny brogues.

    He wrapped his arm around the stunning model, who also went for an all-black look.

    Kim wore her brunette tresses slicked back into a neat updo and accessorised with an array of silver earrings.

    She elevated her natural beauty with a sultry palette of makeup, including a smoky eyeshadow look.

    Elsewhere at the star-studded bash, Romeo looked like a proud son as he posed for a family snap with his mother Victoria and father David.

    The fashion designer, 50, looked nothing short of incredible in an elegant white maxi gown dress paired with pointy maroon heels.

    She has joined forces with Mytheresa on an exclusive capsule collection for party wear this season.

    Meanwhile, David put on a dapper display in a grey suit as he lovingly held hands with his wife for the photo.

    Details about how Romeo and his new girlfriend Kim met are not explicitly documented, however Kim has been linked to certain social circles and is thought to have had a friendship with Romeo’s older brother, Brooklyn.

    In the last few weeks, Romeo and Kim have enjoyed a lunch date at Fiume in Battersea, London and shared videos and photos of each other playing and walking with dogs.

    Kim also used to date Rocco Ritchie, the son of Guy Ritchie and Madonna back in 2016.

    The couple went Instagram official on Wednesday and Romeo seems besotted with Kim as he took to his Story with a sweet snap.

    In the post, the couple looked happier than ever as they cosied up in the car with Romeo planting a kiss on Kim’s hand.

    The son of David and Victoria Beckham looked dapper in baggy grey open shirt, while his girlfriend stunned in a white button up shirt under a black wool coat.

    While the couple appear to be smitten, it comes just weeks after Romeo was spotted looking similarly loved-up with Gray Sorrenti last month.

    He was seen packing on the PDA with the photographer during a romantic stroll in New York City, confirming romance rumours surrounding the pair that first began in September.

    Romeo is now enjoying spending time with Kim and a source told The Sun: ‘Romeo is young and single and is happily playing the field. He had a lot of fun with Gray and now he’s enjoying his dates with Kim. She is no stranger to the spotlight and previously dated Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie.

    ‘Kim and Romeo were out at Chiltern Firehouse on Tuesday night and Wednesday, where they hung out until the early hours the following day.

    ‘Romeo is good looking, talented and very charming so it’s not hard to see why so many women are keen to bag a date with him.’

    Romeo and Kim were seen heading home from their cosy evening at London restaurant on Tuesday, making separate exits, before she drove the pair home.

    Like Romeo, Kim has also followed in her father’s footsteps, working as DJ like her dad Alex Turnbull, who also was a member of band 23 Skidoo and founder of hip-hop label, Ronin Record, while her grandparents were artists William Turbull and Kim Lim.

  • Victoria Beckham reveals the real reason why she never smiled in pictures: ‘I was so uncomfortable’

    Victoria Beckham reveals the real reason why she never smiled in pictures: ‘I was so uncomfortable’

    Victoria Beckham has admitted that the reason she always used to look so stern in pictures is because she was self-conscious about her skin.

    Over the years, the fashion designer, 50, became synonymous for her steely pout, often failing to crack a smile at many a public event.

    Victoria has long been open about her insecurity with her ‘problematic’ skin, having suffered with acne since her teens, and struggled soaring to fame in her twenties while having skin issues.

    And in a new interview with The Telegraph, Victoria reflected on feeling ‘so uncomfortable’ when taking photos as she didn’t feel happy within herself to break out into a smile.

    During the chat, Victoria – who has received the publication’s inaugural Beauty Brand of the Year award – told how she sought advice from skincare experts, with the fashion designer now following a strict routine to ensure her skin stays clear.

    As she reflected on being acutely self-conscious about her looks, Victoria remarked: ‘probably I did look stern in a lot of pictures, but I was so uncomfortable’.

    And it wasn’t just her lack of public smiles that were a consequence of her skin problems, but her strict diet too.

    Victoria has a famously limited diet, with husband David Beckham previously revealing that she’s eaten the same meal everyday for 25 years – grilled fish and steamed vegetables.

    Explaining her decision to eat a very specific diet, Victoria added: ‘It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate’, with the star cutting out meat and wheat among others.

    These days, Victoria is much more comfortable in her skin and even offers up a warm smile on many an occasion.

    In fact she’s so relaxed about her looks that she revealed how she now even feels comfortable enough to head to glam events with very little make-up on.

    She remarked: ‘If you’d told me a few years ago I’d step on to a red carpet to pick up an award wearing only a bit of concealer and no foundation, I’d have thought you were mad, but that’s what I did last week.’

    The mother-of-five told how she’s found getting older genuinely liberating, admitting that there was once a time when she used to ‘scroll through comments’ about herself, but these days, she simply doesn’t ‘have the time’.

    Celebrating her new range, Victoria posed for some glamorous pictures before taking her seat in the swanky restaurant in Manhattan, New York.

    And Victoria looked nothing short of sensational as she flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in the elegant number.

    She displayed her toned figure in the ethereal midi dress and accessorised her outfit with burgundy heels and a clutch bag.

    Victoria’s supportive husband David, 49, and son Romeo, 22, also arrived to the star-studded dinner.

    Her outing comes just days after she admitted she ‘cares less’ about the idea of being famous now.

    Victoria Beckham showcases new partywear collection at event

    Victoria shot to fame alongside Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Melanie C as part of the Spice Girls in the late 1990s.

    They became the best-selling girl group of all time, and Victoria later had a brief solo career before going on into the world of fashion.

    But the star – who is also known for her marriage to footballer David – recently admitted that the idea of fame doesn’t really appeal now.

    She told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: ‘I suppose it used to be fun to go out and be chased by paparazzi walking down Bond Street – and you would dress knowing you were going to get that. I don’t want that anymore.

    ‘I’ve been doing this too long. I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about. I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less.’

  • David Beckham launches £65 supplement that claims to give your skin and hair a ‘glow up’ – but experts warn of potential risks

    David Beckham launches £65 supplement that claims to give your skin and hair a ‘glow up’ – but experts warn of potential risks

    Experts today voiced concern over David Beckham‘s new wellness brand, warning the supplements were ‘meaningless nonsense’.

    The all-in-one powder ‘Daily Ultimate Essentials’ claims to replace the need for 16 daily supplements with its 92 nutrient-rich ingredients.

    The brand IM8, owned by the former footballer, say the £65 product also boosts energy and digestion, as well as giving hair, skin and nails a glow up.

    Its ‘Daily Ultimate Longevity’ capsule — setting you back £61 — is also designed to ‘support healthy ageing’.

    But experts today labelled the products ‘yet another celebrity endorsed supplement’ and said the brand makes ‘questionable claims’ based purely on ‘limited information from poorly conducted studies’.

    Taken in excess, it is ‘unlikely to be harmful’, they cautioned.

    However, the quantities of ingredients used in both products are not listed, putting some allergy sufferers at risk, they added, with the benefits of some ingredients even counteracting each other.

    Crafted by a team including an ex-NASA chief scientist, IM8 claims it is ‘an unparalleled collaboration between academia, medicine and space science’.

    The all-in-one powder ‘Daily Ultimate Essentials’ claims to replace the need for 16 daily supplements with its 92 nutrient-rich ingredients. Its ‘Daily Ultimate Longevity’ capsule is also designed to ‘support healthy ageing’

    Buying the two products together, dubbed ‘The Beckham Stack’ will cost you a thrifty £100.

    Among the 92 ingredients in ‘Daily Ultimate Essentials’ is acai and mixed berry powder which includes a blend of pre, pro, and postbiotics for gut health, as well as  vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, superfoods, greens, and adaptogens — herbs believed to help stress levels.

    The second product designed to boost longevity contains a ‘powerful formula’ of ingredients that target ‘the 11 hallmarks of aging’ and ‘enhance cellular health’.

    This includes copper to aid ‘blood vessel health, immune function and iron absorption’ and popular supplement vitamin B12 to help ‘energy production and cognitive function’.

    But Professor Edzard Ernst, a world-renowned expert in complementary medicine at the University of Exeter, told MailOnline: ‘These products will sell well — not because they work wonders but because Beckham promotes them.

    ‘Helping your “natural energy” and optimising your “body’s digestive health” are terms that might be good advertising but, scientifically, are meaningless nonsense.’

    Professor Penny Ward, an expert in pharmaceutical medicines at Kings College London, also said: ‘This seems to be yet another celebrity endorsed nutritional supplement making questionable claims.

    ‘These are based on limited information from poorly conducted studies and largely anecdotal statements — often the case, regrettably, for these products.’

    She told MailOnline: ‘All that said, the contents are unlikely to be harmful although some folks might react if they have past allergies to any of the ingredients.

    ‘There is a rare disease called Wilsons Disease which leads to copper overload and people with that might need to avoid this — as they do any foods or medicines containing copper.

    ‘It is difficult to know precisely how these supplements could affect people as the actual quantities of each ingredient in each “dose” is not even cited.’

    While copper has long been considered safe to consume at low levels for many, a buildup of too much can lead to poisoning — a serious problem if not treated.

    Symptoms may range from abdominal cramps and vomiting to jaundice, stiff muscles and even liver failure.

    Meanwhile, Professor Gunter Kuhnle, an expert in nutrition and food science at the University of Reading, told MailOnline he was ‘sceptical’ of the products given it is not clear how much of each ingredient is present.

    Certain amounts of calcium phosphate for instance, present in both supplements can render zinc — another ingredient — useless, for instance.

    Professor Kuhnle added: ‘It’s also not clear whether they are even absorbed by the body or not.

    ‘The claims on the label are hyperbole and I assume they’re written with a regulator in mind, so uses the most pompous description that is permitted.’

    IM8 claimed a 12-week clinical trial at the San Francisco Research Institute showed promising early results.

    It was sponsored by Prenetics, a US-based health research firm and IM8’s other co-founder alongside Beckham.

    After 30 days, 93 per cent of participants reported increased energy levels, while 73 per cent experienced ‘better endurance during workouts’.

    Six in ten also noticed improvements in both digestion and the health of their hair, skin, and nails, they claimed.

    But the study, linked on the IM8 website and published in the National Library of Medicine, does not yet display any results online.

    Instead the library claims ‘study results have not been submitted’.

    Professor Kuhnle told MailOnline: ‘It is interesting so see a big discrepancy between what the website claims regarding these trials and what the trial register says.

    ‘The website claims a wide range of parameters are going to be measured.’

    But study details available in the library show among its measures includes BMI, micronutrient intake and self-reported energy levels.

    ‘Self-reporting is very questionable because people often don’t remember what they ate correctly’, Professor Kuhnle added.

    Dr Adam Collins, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Surrey, also told MailOnline: ‘Claims regarding increased energy levels and optimised digestive health are highly subjective, and improvements in these areas are challenging to measure scientifically.

    ‘Gut microbiome changes, for instance, can be temporary and largely reflect recent dietary intake.

    ‘The clinical trial for these products is still in its recruitment stage, which means we lack robust evidence to support their efficacy.

    ‘While there are some reputable scientists involved in developing these supplements, the claims made about their effects should be approached with caution.’

    Among its team includes Dr Dawn Mussallem, an oncologist at Mayo Clinic, Dr James Green, former NASA chief scientist and Dr David Katz, the founding director of the US-based Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Centre.

    ‘There are clearly some big names, but while this is good for marketing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he ingredient really works,’ Professor Kuhnle said.

    In an Instagram post, Beckham said: ‘Even though I’ve retired from the game, I want to stay healthy and active.

    ‘I was looking for a product I could trust and that would fit easily into my daily routine.

    ‘I’ve tried lots of vitamins and supplements over the years, but it was hard to find a product that gave me everything I need.

    ‘Health and wellness have always been a priority for me, both on and off the field.

    ‘We wanted to create something that helps people to feel their best every day — and with IM8, we’ve done that.

    ‘We’ve brought together a world-leading team of scientists to create something unique and effective, and I’m excited to be able to share it with the world.

    ‘I have personally experienced the positive impact that IM8 has had on my health, energy and focus.

    ‘Together with Prenetics, IM8 is harnessing the best of science and innovation, helping people around the world take charge of their health and wellness.’

    Forget nepo babies, it’s all about nepo dating! How the children of the rich and famous have turned to each other for love

    Children born to the rich and famous most likely have it all; power, money, their parents dazzling good looks, and a lifetime pass to the elite nepo baby club.

    It seems one criteria for the exclusive clique is dating a fellow star – one thrust from the loins of a celebrity – as seen in the prestigious unions between Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, Eric Murphy and Jasmine Lawrence, and Phoebe Gates and Arthur Donald to name a few.

    More than just a gorgeous pairing; Brooklyn and Nicola have inherited power couple status from their super famous parents; David and Victoria Beckham, as well as New York-born billionaire Nelson Peltz and his wife Claudia Heffner.

    The romance between Phoebe Gates, daughter of Microsoft magnate Bill Gates, and Arthur Alistair Donald, grandson of Paul McCartney, was written in the stars – with their first introduction dating back to childhood.

    Here, FEMAIL takes a look at how the children of the rich and famous have looked inward and found love with fellow nepo babies.

    His parents are among Hollywood elite and she stands to inherit a sum of her father’s whopping $1.3 billion fortune one day; so it’s only right their love reeks of wealth.

    Brooklyn Beckham, 25, is the eldest child of Posh and Becks –  also known as David, 49, and Victoria Beckham, 50. Their combined football, celebrity and fashion empires have created a fortune in excess of £450 million.

    Though eye-watering, their fortune is less than half of their family-in-law’s astounding $1.3 billion estate. Nicola, 29, is the daughter of Jewish-American entrepreneur Nelson Peltz, 82, and his model wife Claudia Heffner, 69, of whom both share eight children.

    Brooklyn and Nicola of course first met at a gathering of fellow celebrities; the 2017 Coachella music festival in California, but they didn’t start dating until 2019.

    The now husband and wife first went public with their relationship in 2020 by posting a snap on Instagram; Brooklyn proposed with a $324,700 emerald and diamond ring in July the same year.

    Their high profile relationship has been decorated with the sort of lavishness that one could only imagine, including luxury yacht trips, multimillion properties and a designer wardrobe to rival the queen of style herself, Victoria Beckham.

    Despite being surrounded by wealth, the couple do have their own things going on, although not at the level of their powerful parents.

    Following in her investor father’s footsteps, Nicola and Brooklyn snapped up a $10.5million starter mansion in Beverly Hills after just a few months of dating.

    The actress – who starred in Bates Motel – also made her directorial debut this year with drama film Lola.

    Meanwhile Brooklyn, who recently revealed that he’s ‘obviously’ a nepo-baby, lingers in the spotlight with a Facebook Watch series called Cookin’ with Brooklyn and a hot sauce named Cloud 23.

    While this nepo baby pairing may still be news to some, their romance was clearly hot on the horizon.

    Phoebe Gates, 22, is the last born daughter of billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 69, and his ex-wife – now too a billionaire – Melinda, 60. Her parents are worth north of $160 billion combined.

    Arthur Alistair Donald, 25, is the only grandchild to appear on our list, and boasts Beatles legend and billionaire Paul McCartney, 82, as his granddad. His parents are Paul’s daughter Mary McCartney, 55, and her ex husband Alistair Donald, a director and producer, 58.

    Through their wealth and connections, the couple were destined to meet; with the friendship between their powerful families going back decades since they were young children.

    Phoebe’s father Bill has been friends with Sir Paul since the early noughties and reportedly supported The Beatles star during his messy divorce from ex-wife Heather Mills.

    Meanwhile, Paul’s daughter, acclaimed fashion designer Stella McCarthy, became close to Bill’s ex wife Melinda and has been mentoring Phoebe in her fashion career.

    But for Phoebe and Arthur, their love officially blossomed in October 2023 which they confirmed with an Instagram snap of the two hanging out in Paris.

    She also openly referred to Arthur as her ‘boyfriend’ while documenting her Stanford graduation in an online blog for Nylon.

    ‘My boyfriend, Arthur, giving me a lift post-ceremony,’ Phoebe wrote in the post for for her graduation – alongside a loved-up snap of her beau giving her a piggyback.

    The pair are currently working on their own dynasties, with Arthur, a Yale graduate, working as an investor, and Phoebe recently graduating from Stanford.

    The offspring of a real estate executive and music royalty are perhaps not the most obvious nepo baby pairing; nevertheless, they both came up in money.  

    The Stranger Things actress, 20, was born to British real estate agent, Robert and his wife Kelly Brown in Marbella, Spain. Though not much is known about the exact sum of Robert’s wealth, he earned enough to pack up ship and move to America to help Millie with her acting.

    Meanwhile Jake, 22, was born to high school sweethearts Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley, both 62, in 2002. His father Jon is a rock legend and New Jersey native who once fronted group Bon Jovi. He is worth an nearly half a billion dollars.

    The celebrity couple sent fans into a frenzy when they sparked romance rumors in 2021 – but shockingly they met how any other Gen Z couple would.

    In 2022, while talking to Wired, Millie revealed the two first connected on Instagram: ‘We met on Instagram. And we were friends for a bit, and then, what can I say?’ she told the publication.

    Only a few weeks later the pair were spotted out and about sweetly holding hands as they enjoyed a coffee run in the Big Apple.

    Since then it appears they have been inseparable, opting to tie the knot in May this year. The lovebirds said ‘I do’ during an intimate ceremony in Tuscany, Italy with only close family in attendance to witness the special milestone.

    Robert Brown’s sacrifice paid off as Millie now boasts an illustrious career in TV and film, while her proud husband enjoys life as a model and ‘aspiring actor’ – according to his dad.

    Recently Eddie opened up about his son’s relationship and the idea of comedy running in the family: ‘They’re both beautiful, they look amazing together’ he said. ‘And it’s funny, everybody’s like, “What is that baby gonna be funny?” Our gene pool is gonna make this funny baby’.

    The Coming To America star doesn’t have to look too far as both his son and Jasmine have followed their parents’ career paths into entertainment.

    Eric is a writer, voice actor and producer, and most recently revealed that he worked on Automated Dialogue Replacement on his father’s Beverly Hills Cop movie.

    Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk

    Although both Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk grew up in money – they have lived very different lives

    The descendant of a 90s rock star has found love in the arms of a famous skateboarder’s son.

    The world learned Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk were an item in 2022, with rumours first swirling on Reddit, when one user posted a photo of them out at dinner together with Riley’s parents, Tony and Catherine.

    Frances Cobain, 32, is the daughter of Hole frontwoman and actress Courtney Love, and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who is regarded as one of the most influential alternative rock musicians in the world.

    Riley Hawk, 31, was born to skateboarding legend, Tony Hawk, 56, and his ex wife Cindy Dunbar, whom Tony was married to from 1990 until 1993. He is Tony’s oldest son.

    Kurt and Courtney’s combined estate is thought to sit in the region of half a billion dollars, while Riley’s father brings in north of $100 million.

    And while the two may have generational wealth in common, Frances’ life of tragedy differs profoundly from that of her famous partner’s.

    Being born to two of the biggest stars in the world meant Frances was thrust into the spotlight almost immediately – and thanks to her parents’ very-public infatuation with the wild side, she was also the subject of scandal very quickly.

    When Frances was just two-years old, her father Kurt Cobain passed away after committing suicide inside his Lake Washington Boulevard home on April 5, 1994.

    On the 30th anniversary of the singer’s death earlier this year, Frances reflected on the loss by penning a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram.

    ‘The biggest lesson learned through grieving for almost as long as I’ve been conscious, is that it serves a purpose’ she wrote.

    She added: ‘As It turns out, there is no greater motivation for leaning into loving awareness than knowing everything ends.

    ‘I wish I could’ve known my dad. I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story’.

    When she was 11, she witnessed her mom overdosing on painkillers, after which the youngster made the actress some tea while they waited for the ambulance together.

    Like her parents, Frances has struggled with addiction which she blames on having access to so much money at a young age.

    She inherited all of her famous father’s $140 million earnings after his death, and reportedly receives an additional $100,000 each month from his royalties.

    Frances has spoken negatively about her wealth, explaining that it’s made her feel extremely ‘guilty’ and left her spending ‘excessively’ – but she turned her life around after suffering from a near-death experience on an airplane and has now been sober for years.

    Despite her celebrity roots, she’s made it clear that she doesn’t want anything to do with Hollywood – calling it ‘pretentious, sh**ty, and filled to the brim with the worst people she’s ever met’. She has even turned down many movie roles over the years, including Bella Swan in Twilight.

    For the aspiring musician and visual artist, it appears the controversy is all behind her as she looks ahead to a new life with her famous partner Riley. The pair tied the knot in a ceremony in Los Angeles in October 2023 and have since welcomed their first child together.

    The Emily in Paris star recently celebrated her three-year wedding anniversary with husband Charlie mcDowell.

    Lily, 35, and Charlie, 41, both have famous parents in common; Lily is the daughter of legendary British musician Phil, 73, and his ex-wife actress Jill Tavelman, 68.

    Charlie boasts actor Malcolm McDowell, 81 and actress Mary Steenburgen, 71, as his parents, as well as stepfather actor Ted Danson, 76, who is currently married to his mother.

    Known for hits such as ‘In the Air Tonight’ and ‘Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)’, Lily’s father Phil is thought to be worth hundreds of million of pounds. Her hubby’s elite acting family also pull in a hefty sum.

    They officially began dating in 2019 and became betrothed the next year, before saying ‘I do’ in 2021 with a ceremony at Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado.

    ‘It was one of those situations where I knew the second I met him that I wanted to be his wife one day. So, it was just a matter of when, really,’ the actress previously shared on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

    Despite growing up around fame, Lily admitted she only first realised the level of her father’s fame when they were on a family trip to Disneyland when she was a child.

    Speaking candidly to Radio Times in 2020 she remembered seeing a man sporting a t-shirt with the music icon’s face on his t-shirt.

    ‘I was thinking, “Why does he want a picture of my dad, and why is my dad on his T-shirt?”. Slowly but surely, I started to understand’ she told the publication.

    Lily continues to maker her own waves after starring in smash hit Netflix series, Emily In Paris where she portrays the role of Emily Cooper who moved to Paris to work as a social media strategist.

    Meanwhile last month, Charlie’s famous parents, Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen, who divorced in 1990, and his stepfather Ted Danson, stepped out to support him at The North American premiere of Charlie McDowell’s drama film, The Summer Book.

    Victoria Beckham just wanted to fit in growing up.

    During the former Spice Girl’s interview with Nicole Kidman for Vogue Australia, the Academy Award winner asked Beckham, 50, whether she really got driven to school in a Rolls-Royce.

    “You know, my dad had a Rolls-Royce and he also had a white van,” she began. “I came from a working-class background and so my dad in the 80s, he was an entrepreneur, he started his business with my mum at the kitchen table and he did very well, so he bought himself a Rolls-Royce.”

    Beckham added that she went to a regular school and hadn’t lived in a big house, but as soon as her father, Anthony Adams, started making money, he treated himself to the luxury car.

    “One day we’d go to school in the Rolls-Royce and one day we’d go in the van because he’d still work, he was an electrical wholesaler and he was very much a worker.”

    “Me and my siblings used to beg him, can we please go to school in the white van?” Beckham continued. “Like, we were mortified at the idea of going in the Rolls-Royce. How things have changed!”

    Beckham is the oldest of three, which includes her sister Louise and her brother Christian.

    The model added that in the present day, she wouldn’t mind riding around in a luxury car but growing up it was more about fitting in. “Nowadays, I’d be like, don’t worry about the van, let’s go in the Roller! But in those days, we just wanted to fit in.”

    Beckham’s upbringing came into the spotlight in October 2023 following the premiere of the Netflix documentary Beckham. In a now-viral moment from the documentary, the model said that she grew up “very working class.”

    The moment instantly went viral. Beckham even debuted a T-shirt poking fun at the viral moment.

    Beckham’s parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams, lived modestly. However, her father found success when he founded his own electronics supply company. Jackie, who was an insurance clerk, and Anthony, who was an electrical engineer, have been married for 54 years.

    Good news from the royal family: Princess Kate escaped cancer….

    Kate said she had finished chemotherapy but still had a long way to go to completely beat cancer.

    On September 9, the Princess of Wales shared an emotional video taken near her residence in Norfolk last month. The three-minute video features her husband, Prince William, and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

    “As the summer draws to a close, I can’t describe the relief I felt when I finished my chemotherapy. The past 9 months have been extremely difficult for my family. As you know, lives can change in the blink of an eye and we have to find ways to weather storms and unpredictable paths,” Kate said in the video.

    Princess Kate completes chemotherapy

    Princess Kate said she has completed chemotherapy for cancer, but added that the journey to a full recovery is still long.

    “I cannot express how relieved I am to finally finish my chemotherapy. The past nine months have been incredibly difficult for our family,” Princess Kate’s office shared a message from her on September 9.

    Kate said the journey of fighting cancer is complicated, scary and unpredictable. “It makes you face your vulnerabilities in a way you never thought possible before, it gives you a new perspective on things,” said Princess Kate.

    According to the British Princess, the recent period of treatment has reminded her and Prince William to reflect and be grateful for the seemingly simple but important things in life, the things we take for granted.

    “It’s simply to love and be loved,” Kate said.

    Kate said she would begin some public engagements later this year, although “the road to full recovery is still a long one”. Her last public appearances since announcing her diagnosis were at Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July.

    Kate, 42, spent two weeks in hospital in January after abdominal surgery. Two months later, she announced she had cancer. Her office, Kensington Palace, said chemotherapy began in February and did not say what type of cancer she had.

    Exclusive: Queen waited with a cake for Lilibet but was left hanging on great grandchild’s birthday

    Queen waited with a cake for Lilibet but was left hanging on great grandchild’s birthday

    Queen Elizabeth II was so excited to celebrate her youngest great-granddaughter’s first birthday that she had a cake especially made for her with one candle – but it was never blown out

    Queen Elizabeth II had 12 great-grandchildren and delighted in them all but was particularly touched when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their daughter after her.

    The Queen’s youngest great-granddaughter was given her family nickname Lilibet. The sweet name comes from the Queen not being able to say Elizabeth properly as a toddler and the name stuck. Now the name is given to Prince Harry’s daughter alongside her middle name Diana – a poignant tribute to his mother, the late Princess of Wales. And the Queen’s former footman Paul Burrell says after Prince Harry and Meghan moved to America, losing the connection with Lilibet was upsetting for our late monarch in her final years. Despite her failing health, the Queen was determined to spend time with her mini namesake.Burrell says that when the family returned to the UK for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, the Queen still didn’t get to see her granddaughter on her birthday. “Even on Lilibet’s first birthday the Queen didn’t see her,” Burrell exclusively tells The Mirror. “She saw her the day before. But on her birthday, the Queen had a birthday cake made with one candle in it. And they never turned up. That candle was never lit.”

    The family celebrated Lilibet’s birthday at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor with a backyard picnic. That day, the Queen was set to attend the Epsom Derby in Surrey as part of the jubilee celebrations but was forced to cancel due to her ongoing mobility issues. “The next day she asked if maybe they’d like to come up for tea again and was told they’ve gone,” Burrell remembers. “‘What do you mean they’ve gone?’ she said. They’ve gone back to America. ‘Oh no, they never said goodbye’.”

    Burrell says the Queen was “confused” by the slight and the family’s decision to leave so quickly. “How could you offend our Queen?” Burrell says. “Well, I don’t understand anyone that could do that. Not her family, why would you want to? She was devoid of jealousy, anger, envy, all those traits that we associate with other people she didn’t have. She was just a very simple soul. I wish the world could have known her the way I knew her.”

    The first anniversary of the Queen’s death will be difficult for the family as she was such a huge part of their lives. “All the family dearly loved our Queen, and they will all be remembering her in their own particular ways,” Burrell says. “She was a mother, a granny, a great granny to all of them. And they all miss her. Even Harry and Meghan, in Los Angeles will be thinking about the Queen on her anniversary because Harry was a particular favourite.”

    Burrell says he always had a “communication” with the Queen until the end of her life and knows the unique challenges she faced in her final years. Because while the Queen always kept her family close, her beloved grandson Prince Harry broke away from the royal family just two years before her death. And while Prince Archie was born in London, when his little sister Princess Lilibet was born on 4 June 2021, the family were already living over 5,000 miles away in California.

    I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Furious Princess Anne SHAMES Meghan & Harry For BACKSTABBING Monarchy!

    I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Furious Princess Anne SHAMES Meghan & Harry For BACKSTABBING Monarchy!

    Princess Anne’s fury seems to have reached its peak as she publicly criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for their actions, which are seen as “backstabbing” the British monarchy. According to close sources, Princess Anne cannot tolerate the couple’s continued shocking accusations against the family, which have severely damaged the monarchy’s reputation.

    Reportedly, she has openly condemned the pair, accusing them of betraying the family’s trust and prioritizing personal gain over royal duties. Princess Anne, known for her unwavering dedication to the Crown, allegedly views Harry and Meghan’s behavior as disrespectful and harmful to the institution that the royal family has worked so hard to uphold.

    The tension within the family has grown significantly, with many royal insiders suggesting that Anne’s words reflect the sentiments of other senior members of the monarchy. It’s clear that this royal rift is far from healing anytime soon.

    Princess Anne reveals what she really thinks of Meghan and Harry with thinly-veiled dig

    The Princess Royal, who is due to celebrate her 73rd birthday next week, discussed the prospect of a slimmed down monarchy, adding that it didn’t sound like a good idea

    Princess Anne revealed what she really thinks of Prince Harry and Meghan during a candid interview – with many picking up on her thinly veiled dig.

    The Princess Royal, who is due to celebrate her 73rd birthday next week, discussed the prospect of a slimmed down monarchy, adding that it didn’t sound like a good idea. Despite her brother King Charles in favour of the proposal, she told Canadian broadcaster CBC back in May that the suggestion was made when there were “a few more people around”.

    Anne, who is the hardest working royal, was interviewed by chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault who said it is difficult to imagine how she could take on more work. “Well, I think the ‘slimmed-down’ (monarchy) was said in a day when there were a few more people around to make that seem like a justifiable comment,” Anne quipped.

    The reference to a “few more people” left many believing it to be a dig at Harry and Meghan who decided to quit as working royals, as well as Prince Andrew who stepped down from public life. It also could be a reference to the late Queen and Prince Philip.

    When it was put to her that the world changes, Anne said: “It changes a bit. I mean, it doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I have to say. I’m not quite sure what else, you know, we can do.” And asked if there are “conversations about relevance”, she replied: “There will be, everywhere. It’s not a conversation that I would necessarily have.

    “I think it’s perfectly true that it is a moment where you need to have that discussion. But I would just underline that the monarchy provides, with the constitution, a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way.”

    The Princess was then asked how she and her family deal with a recent poll that suggests many don’t want to see the monarchy continue. She said she sees herself in a supportive role for brother Charles.

    “Well, we don’t in many respects need to deal with it, not least of all because it is the monarch that is the key to this, and the constitution that underpins the monarchy,” she said.

    “We as a family see ourselves there to support that role. What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy and the way in which it can convey continuity, of not just interest, but of service, of understanding, the way that people in communities want to live their lives.

     

    “And I think so often we get the chance to see communities and the people who do things really well and are very generous with their time in a way that, if you look at the media, you tend not to get that impression,” she said.

    Speaking about what kind of King her brother will be, Anne said: “Well, you know what you’re getting, because he’s been practising for a bit, and I don’t think he’ll change. He is committed to his own level of service. That will remain true.”

    It was put to the princess that she does not seem worried about the health or the longevity of the monarchy, and she replied: “I think you’re putting words into my mouth, as they say.”

    She said she believes there is “genuine benefit from this particular arrangement, the constitutional monarchy, and I think it has good long-term benefits”, adding: “And that commitment to long term is what the monarchy stands for.”

  • I know why bitter Meghan won’t set foot in UK again – she wants nothing to do with the royals

    I know why bitter Meghan won’t set foot in UK again – she wants nothing to do with the royals

    I know why bitter Meghan won’t set foot in UK again – she wants nothing to do with the royals

    It seems that Meghan Markle has no intention of returning to the UK anytime soon, and the reasons for this decision are becoming clearer. Sources suggest that Meghan’s reluctance to set foot in Britain again is driven by her strong desire to distance herself from the royal family.

    Estranged from the Royals

    Meghan’s relationship with the British Royal Family has been notably strained. Since she and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal roles and moved to the United States, tensions have only intensified. Public disagreements, constant media attention, and personal grievances have all contributed to Meghan’s growing disillusionment with her past life within the royal fold.

    Reasons for Staying Away

    Media Scrutiny:

         One of the primary reasons Meghan avoids the UK is the intense media scrutiny she faced while living there. The relentless tabloid coverage and negative press have left her wary of returning to an environment that she feels is hostile and invasive.

    Public Opinion:

         Meghan is acutely aware of the polarized public opinion in the UK. The ongoing criticism and lack of widespread support have made the prospect of returning unappealing. She prefers to stay in the US, where she feels she has more control over her public image and narrative.

    Family Tensions:

         The unresolved issues and ongoing rifts with members of the royal family are another significant factor. Meghan’s decision to stay away signals her desire to avoid further confrontation and drama. Her relationship with the royals, particularly following the couple’s tell-all interviews, remains fraught with tension.

    New Life in the US:

       Meghan and Harry have established a new life in California, complete with a growing family and burgeoning media ventures. Their focus is now on building their brand, philanthropic efforts, and personal projects. Returning to the UK could disrupt the stability and progress they’ve made.

    Public and Media Reaction

    Reactions to Meghan’s decision to stay away from the UK are mixed. Some people understand her desire to protect herself and her family from a toxic environment, while others view it as an abandonment of royal duties and responsibilities. The media continues to speculate on the underlying motivations and potential future implications of her absence.

    Conclusion

    Meghan Markle’s choice to stay away from the UK is due to a lot of personal, family, and public forces working together. She is determined to stay away from the royal family and the attention that comes with it. This shows that she wants to move on with her new life in the US. As she continues to make her way, it’s unclear how this choice will affect her relationships and how people see her.
