    Royal Family: Harry’s ‘unlikely’ to ever make another appearance at event he ‘misses’

    Royal expert and historian Richard Fitzwilliams believes it is “unlikely” that the Duke of Sussex will appear at this poignant yearly event as a working royal ever again.

    Prince Harry is “unlikely” to ever make another appearance at the National Service of Remembrance held at the Cenotaph every year, according to a royal commentator.

    As the King stepped out alongside other senior members of the Royal Family at yesterday’s service, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were noticeably absent once again. The couple, who got married in 2018, announced their plans to step back from royal duties in 2020 and have since been living in the US with their two children. This move led to the Duke of Sussex having to relinquish his military patronages and renounce the right to wear his military uniform at events.

    Discussing Harry, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News: “I quite honestly think that it’s probably unlikely that we will see him at The Cenotaph again. On the other hand, the Sussexes are unpredictable and so is life, so who knows? Of course, this is tremendously unfortunate, and when they stepped down the senior working royals, that was their decision to go to California, and that means that he can’t wear a uniform, and it means he has no military patronages.”

    He added: “Clearly, it is upsetting, and I think he will unquestionably miss it. The main commemoration is obviously tremendously moving, and he will clearly in a sense wish he were part of it.”

    While the King – who will celebrate his 76th birthday later this week – was present at Sunday’s service, Queen Camilla was absent due to a chest infection.

  • How Diana’s ultimate Revenge Dress SHOULD have looked: Princess’s iconic LBD would have faded into cream obscurity but for a last-minute change of design, an intervention from her loving brother… and a fall-out with a very famous designer

    How Diana’s ultimate Revenge Dress SHOULD have looked: Princess’s iconic LBD would have faded into cream obscurity but for a last-minute change of design, an intervention from her loving brother… and a fall-out with a very famous designer

    It was one of the most meaningful statements in the history of fashion – and the Royal Family.

    Nearly 30 years ago, on the night Prince Charles admitted to his affair with Camilla, his estranged wife Princess Diana slipped on a little black number to relay her own powerful, if silent, message.

    On June 29, 1994, as the nation sat down to watch the future King confess to presenter Jonathan Dimbleby, Diana wore the ‘Revenge Dress’ – as it was quickly dubbed – for her attendance at a glitzy fundraising dinner at the Serpentine gallery.

    The Princess wowed everyone in the Christina Stambolian black silk crepe cocktail gown with an asymmetric ruched bodice and side sash.

    She teamed it with her sapphire, pearl, and diamond choker – which matched her engagement ring – and scarlet nails.

    But, according to Stambolian, Diana nearly didn’t buy the £900 dress as she thought it too risqué; originally wanted it in cream; and only wore it that night in a fit of pique after rival designer Valentino leaked that she was going to wear his dress.

    On June 29, 1994, the night Prince Charles admitted to his affair with Camilla, his estranged wife Princess Diana slipped on what became known as the ‘Revenge Dress’. Designer Christina Stambolian revealed that the royal originally wanted the dress to be cream, but she was persuaded it would look better in black

    One press report described it as ‘the pièce de résistance…the brave, wicked, historic little Serpentine Cocktail possibly the most strategic dress ever worn by a woman in modern times’.

    ‘This was the devastating wisp of black chiffon with which Diana flipped her husband clean off the front pages the morning after his damaging televised interview.

    ‘This is a dress that shows Diana, Princess of Wales, fully in command of a sense of her own value’.

    Stambolian, who was born in Greece and trained in Athens, vividly remembers the day that Diana walked into her shop, in London’s Beauchamp Place, after having lunch with her brother Earl Spencer at her favourite restaurant San Lorenzo.

    ‘Diana bought a black-and-red short, day dress, a yellow silk blouse and a small cream sleeveless blouse which added up to about £400,’ she previously recalled.

    She said Diana told her: ‘I want a special dress for a special occasion. It doesn’t matter if it is short or long. It has to be something special.’

    ‘We sat down, and I drew a few sketches on a piece of paper,’ Stambolian continued.

    ‘The dress was revealing, quite short and showed quite a bit of leg and flesh. Diana was not sure about it. She thought it was a bit risqué. She wanted everything more covered up, longer and the neck higher.

    ‘I told her she had good legs, and she should show them. “Why not be daring?” I said. She asked her brother [Charles] and he said: “Do what you think is right.” Finally, she said “yes” to the style then we moved on to the colour.

    ‘I had black in my mind, but she wanted cream. To me Diana was a black and white sort of person. I didn’t like her in the pale pinks and blues with lots of beading.’

    Two dressmakers took more than 60 hours to make the dress as the finely pleated bodice had to be hand pinned and sewn, while the chiffon skirt had to be carefully draped.

    For three years the hand-stitched dress, with its flirtatious hem, hung unworn in Diana’s wardrobe and Christina began to fear that it might never be seen in public.

    ‘I was very disappointed,’ she said. ‘Then I realized she had been waiting for the right occasion.

    ‘She had gone to Valentino to get a dress for that particular date. Then Valentino rang all the newspapers saying she’s coming out with my dress tomorrow.

    ‘She heard that and Diana said: “There’s no way I’m going to do him a favour. I’m going to wear another dress.”

    Referring to one of Diana’s favourite ballets, Swan Lake, Stambolian added: ‘I was thrilled to see Diana wear it on that night of all nights.

    ‘She chose not to play the scene like Odette, innocent in white.

    ‘She was clearly angry. She played it like Odile in black. She wore bright red nail enamel, which we had never seen her do before. She was saying: “Let’s be wicked tonight.”

    Stambolian did not see Diana again until the reception for the Christie’s auction, in June 1997, when Diana auctioned 79 of her most iconic evening gowns.

    She whispered to Stambolian: ‘By the way, that little black dress – I had a job to squeeze into it.’

    ‘What she meant was she wore it after two years and had put on weight,’ the designer explained.

    ‘In fact, she looked in the photographs a bit squashed into it. But she had beautiful shoulders and good legs.’

    The dress was bought for £44,511 by Scotsman Graeme Mackenzie and his wife Briege, who owned the Body Shop franchise in Scotland.

    They planned to exhibit it to raise money for Scottish charities.

    After the princess’ death, the couple, from Bridge of Wier, in Renfrewshire, who had three sons, wrapped it in tissue paper and put it in a bank vault.

    ‘The only noble thing to do was not to use it,’ he said at the time. ‘It would have been inappropriate.’

    Since then, it has appeared fewer than a dozen times in public.

    But it has raised more than £39,000 for the charity Children’s First by gracing luncheons in Aberdeen, balls in Stirling, evening functions in Elgin and fashion shows at Bo’-ness and Edinburgh.

    ‘The notoriety of the dress was part of the reason why we were interested in buying it,’ Mr Mackenzie previously said.

    ‘It has an intrinsic value because she wore it only once and she wore it on that particular night. It’s a little bit of history.

    ‘We were lucky enough to meet the Princess at the auction preview in Christie’s in London and told her our intentions of using the dress to raise money for charity.

    ‘At the time charities were complaining that the National Lottery was impacting on their donations.

    ‘I thought the dress would be a way of attracting people to events and that its fame could only help that aim.’

    A replica, which Stambolian made in 2010, is in the Museum of Style Icons, in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland.

    ‘The replica was made later on,’ explained Stambolian. ‘I was staying in Greece, and I had nothing to do so I thought: “I’m going to make that dress again.”

    ‘I knew the dress very well, so I made a very, very, good copy.’

  • Prince William is positioning himself as ‘the people’s Prince’ by making sure he’s seen at Taylor Swift Eras Tour and wants to be seen as a ‘relatable royal’ like Princess Diana, royal expert claims

    Prince William is positioning himself as ‘the people’s Prince’ by making sure he’s seen at Taylor Swift Eras Tour and wants to be seen as a ‘relatable royal’ like Princess Diana, royal expert claims

    Prince William is positioning himself as ‘the People’s Prince’ and wants to be seen as a ‘relatable royal like Princess Diana‘, a royal expert has claimed.

    The Prince of Wales, 42, sent royal fans wild on Friday when he was spotted ‘dad dancing’ along to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off at the Eras Tour at Wembley.

    The royal’s appearance at the sold-out show came just one day after he put on an animated display at England’s Euro match against Denmark in Frankfurt.

    Speaking to FEMAIL, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said William is ‘brilliant’ at combining the ‘formal and informal’ aspects of his role – just like his late mother.

    The expert said: ‘The monarchy tends to be associated with formal events because of its traditions and its place in our unwritten constitution.

    ‘Yet it is pivotal that royals avoid an image which is too aloof and formal. Diana managed, brilliantly, to carve her own niche with her amazing charitable work and, despite personal unhappiness, she became iconic.

    ‘People felt they could relate to her and, in an unprecedented way, the nation showed this when she died.’

    Highlighting how the Prince of Wales appears to be following in his mother’s footsteps, Richard continued: ‘William has clearly shown that he can combine the formal and informal brilliantly.

    ‘He can both stand in for his father at a D-Day commemoration and visit British troops on the border with Ukraine and also pose for a selfie with two of his children taken by the iconic singer Taylor Swift at Wembley as well as “dad-dancing” to her catchy lyrics during her concert at Wembley Stadium.’

    Commenting on the backstage photo with Taylor and his children, the expert said this move will ‘rejuvenate his image’ among younger royal fans and labelled William the ‘people’s prince’.

    What’s more, the expert also stressed how William’s love of football also makes him ‘more relatable’.

    Richard said: ‘As President of the FA William, sometimes taking George, lends a supportive presence. Recent official photographs of him have been wonderfully relaxed too.’

    Stressing how these more ‘informal’ public appearances will help William in the long-run, the expert added: If people feel you are a more relatable royal, it is easier to get more serious messages across, as Diana, in her charitable campaigns, clearly showed.’

    The late Princess of Wales was famously dubbed ‘the people’s princess’ by former Prime Minister Tony Blair when he delivered a speech paying tribute to the royal outside 10 Downing Street on the day of her tragic death.

    During her lifetime, Princess Diana raised awareness of the AIDS epidemic and fighting homelessness was another cause close to her heart. Showcasing her creative side, Diana also delighted Royal Opera House attendants in 1985 when she took to the stage to dance along to Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl.

    Over the years, Kate Middleton has been called the ‘children’s princess’ by royal fans thanks to her warm way of interacting with youngsters and her ‘Early Years’ project, which aims to give generations of children the best start in life.

    After footage emerged of William’s exuberant dancing at the Taylor Swift show, royal fans claimed the selfies with Taylor were ‘throwing shade’ at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

    Meghan had reportedly attended a Taylor Swift concert in the same LA arena the previous month, though no selfies with Swift have emerged.

    What’s more, Taylor is also reported to have ‘snubbed a handwritten invite from Meghan Markle’ to appear on her Spotify podcast.

    The footage of William dancing appeared very different to Harry’s demeanour when he and his wife Meghan Markle attended Beyonce’s performance at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles last September.

    While the Duchess of Sussex appeared to be enjoying the show, Harry appeared dejected and often looking at his phone rather than the stage.

    Brooklyn Beckham reveals his tattoo tribute to Quincy Jones and says he ‘misses him more than he can imagine’ after the legendary producer’s death aged 91

    Brooklyn Beckham has shared an emotional tribute to his pal Quincy Jones, following his death at the age of 91.

    Sharing a snap of the tattoo he has in the producer’s honour, Brooklyn wrote that ‘he misses him more than he can imagine.’

    Brooklyn, 25, shared an image of the moment he showed Quincy the tattoo on his neck, which featured a pair of eyes.

    He captioned the post: ‘Quincy, We will always and forever miss you. Your talent will remain in everyone’s hearts for eternity.

    ‘Thank you for being so kind to me. We love and miss you more than you can imagine.’

    In 2022, Brooklyn revealed he’d had an iconic Quincy Jones quote tattooed on his arm, one of the over 100 inks he had on his body.

    It read: ‘Once a task is just begun, never leave it till it’s done. Be the labour great or small, do it well or not at all.’

    Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz had also shared an emotional tribute to Quincy, writing her ‘heart is shattered’ in the emotional statement, and promising to look after his daughter Kenya Kinski-Jones, 31, for the ‘rest of her life.’

    Nicola’s brother Will, 38, has been dating Quincy’s daughter – who he shares with German actress Nastassja Kinski – since 2011.

    Sharing a series of photos to Instagram, she wrapped her arms around the musician while her husband Brooklyn, 25, stood beside them.

    She wrote: ‘Quincy, my heart is shattered I can’t comprehend saying goodbye to you so I won’t, I will say see you later.’

    Nicola continued: ‘You were truly a gift from God. The legacy you have left here on earth is not only your musical genius that has touched the hearts of millions of people but the most beautiful children that you raised – the Jones family, my family – I am so beyond grateful to know them.

    ‘Quincy I can’t believe I got lucky enough in this life to grow up knowing your love, wisdom, laughter and light.

    ‘I love you so much q I will miss you every single day and everyday I will be reminded of your beauty through your unbelievable children.

    ‘I promise to look out for Kenya for the rest of my life. She is my chosen sister and has your magic running through her. Love always your pita.’

    Quincy was laid to rest in a private ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday, with his family saying in a statement that the ‘intimate ceremony included his seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members.’

    The family did not reveal the cemetery where the ceremony took place.

    They added that they remain ‘enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world.

    ‘Details for a memorial celebration of Mr. Jones´ life will be announced at a later date.’

    Romeo Beckham shows off eye-catching back tattoos in shirtless snap as he adds to his array of inkings

    Romeo Beckham showed off two eye-catching back tattoos as he shared workout snaps on Friday.

    The 22-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham displayed a large wing tattoo on his neck along with writing going down his spine.

    He also showcased another tattoo of a phrase in small font on his shoulder blade as he posed for a mirror selfie.

    In another snap, Romeo was all smiles as he appeared to be getting another inking on his arm from a tattoo artist.

    The former footballer also shared a clip of himself in the gym along with a video of himself shopping in M&S while the Spice Girls were playing on the radio.

    In previous posts, Romeo has showed off an image of a bird carrying a rose in its mouth with the words: ‘Everything passes’ on his other arm.

    Earlier this year, Romeo took inspiration from David yet again by sporting a satin patterned bandana during a night out at Chiltern Firehouse in London, 25 years after the former England footballer rocked it.

    His tattoos come after his brother Cruz debuted a Three Lions tattoo as he showed his support for England ahead of Euros 2024 final while his brother Romeo also got even more ink.

    During a visit to the same tattoo artist at The London Social last week, the brothers each had some new artwork.

    Cruz, 19, the youngest son of former football player David, showed off the team’s logo on his upper arm in a clip shared to Instagram.

    Rolling up the arm on his England shirt, he held his thumbs up for the camera after his tattoo was finished.

    In another photo uploaded by the tattooist, Romeo had ‘Romance’ in a cursive font down his index finger.

    The Beckhams are known for their huge tattoo collection, with David and Brooklyn, 24, wracking up 200 between them.

    Since going under the needle first in 2017, self professed tattoo addict Brooklyn has over amassed 70 tributes to his heiress wife Nicola Peltz alone.

    David, who debuted his first tattoo in 1999, has also paid tribute to mother of his children Victoria, 49, with his own intricately decorated physique.

    The family appear dedicated to paying tribute to one another through inkings, with the three brothers each having the word ‘Brotherhood’ inked on different parts of their body in October.

    The eldest of the three, Brooklyn, opted to have his new tattoo on his leg above his dancing lady body art, while Romeo also had his on his leg above his eagle inking, while Cruz chose to have his on his hand.

    Brooklyn’s tributes to wife Nicola are extensive, with her portrait on his upper arm and her eyes tattooed on the back of his neck as well as her name.

    Far from just using her image, Brooklyn also has their wedding vows tattooed on his arm, with the romantic prose reading: ‘Nicola when you walked down the aisle you took my breath away you look so beautiful tonight and always.

    ‘Let me start by saying that words cannot even describe my love for you just looking at you I see my future and it feels like a dream.

    ‘You are my world and I continue to fall more in love with you every single day.’

    The celebrity offspring pays tribute to his family in numerous inkings as well as his billionaire in-laws.

    As well as cherubs for his siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper, he also sports a heart tribute to his fashion designer mother.

    Brooklyn also sports the name ‘Buster’, his father’s nickname for him, as well as an anchor to honour England legend David.

    David’s tributes to the family are less obvious, after first going under the needle in 1999 following the birth of Brooklyn.

    In 2015 the former footballer got the number ’99’ tattooed on his little finger to mark the year – in which he also married Victoria.

    Debuting it on Instagram he wrote, ’99 was a good year for me.’

    As well as a large rose and the words ‘I Love you’ on his neck rumoured to be in honour of his other half.

    David pledged his devotion to his wife with a tattoo of her name in Hindi script however experts later pointed out the tribute, unfortunately, actually said ‘Vihctoria’.

    Romeo also boasts a variety of tattoos, including a ‘free spirit’ and a large dove on his wrist along with the words: ‘Lead with love.’

    There is also a stone angel statue, which covers the length of his forearm alongside a ‘freedom to dream’ torso inking.

    He also has the word ‘love’ on his fingers, with a letter on each finger and a replica David’s famous winged cross on his neck.

    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.

    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.

    Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence descend from comedy excellence and count Hollywood’s most famous funnymen as parents.

    Eric, 35, is the oldest child of Eddie’s 10 kids; he welcomed his son in 1989 with then girlfriend Paulette McNeely.

    Known for his on stage wit and countless acting personalities, the comedy icon’s career spawns five decades, and has brought in a net worth in excess of $200 million.

    Jasmin, 28, was born to Bad Boys and Martin actor, Martin Lawrence. She is the eldest of Martin’s three daughters who he shares with former wife Patricia Southall. Hot off the fourth installment of action comedy, Bad Boys, with Will Smith, it is reported that the actor is worth hundreds of million.

    The sweethearts first confirmed their relationship in a sweet Instagram post in 2021 when they took a happy selfie to mark Eric’s 32nd birthday.

    The couple were destined to meet with Eddie, 63, and Martin, 59, having collaborated on past comedy films such as 1991's Boomerang and 1992's Life

    Their paths were destined to cross with Eddie, 63, and Martin, 59, having collaborated on past comedy films such as 1991’s Boomerang and 1992’s Life.

    Their children are still together and even made an appearance at the red carpet premiere of movie Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F in July.

    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.

    Meanwhile Jasmin, who graduated from Duke University in 2018, appeared in her dad’s hit film Bad Boys for Life.

    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.

    Riley Hawke has happily followed his father’s footsteps into the skating world and is a celebrated street skater.

    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.
