Well, the truth is out there now! Princess Catherine revealed in an emotional video she was undergoing chemo treatment. It turns out after her successful abdominal surgery, cancer was found in her tissue. That’s what she’s been dealing with the past few weeks.

Kate even explained all the secrecy! She and Prince William “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family” — because it took a long time “to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them.” Sounds pretty reasonable as a matter of fact.

Plus we got to hear it directly from the Princess! Watch (below):

So how did everyone react to the news? After all, quite a few folks went overboard speculating after Kate hadn’t been seen in public for a long time. Well, that and the Palace released that ridiculously photoshopped pic seemingly trying to prove to everyone she was alive and well.

But still, conspiracy theories spiral out of control SO FAST! Everything from coma concerns to plastic surgery speculation to divorce rumors… The question now is, are all the folks who were so sure about their theories ready to apologize? Well, actually quite a few of them are! Look:

“Princess Kate Middleton has cancer…. OK now I feel bad believing all those conspiracy theories.”

“I won’t go to hell for being gay but I *will* go to hell now for saying kate middleton had a bbl……..”

“Princess of wales kate middleton has cancer and we were saying she was secretly the unknown at glasgows willy wonka experience”

“We all were having fun with the Kate Middleton conspiracies but turns out she has cancer, we blamed William for an affair even though he was looking after his family. Anyways get well soon Kate and we all are going to hell”

“Deleting my tweets and likes about Kate Middleton asap”

 

All of us who made memes about Kate Middleton rn after she reveals she has cancer pic.twitter.com/JHw3OoW2mV

But others held fast to the conclusion it was all The Firm’s fault in the first place! They wrote:

“Very upsetting to hear about Kate’s cancer diagnosis and glad she’s getting treatment. But why were the Royal’s PR team throwing her under the bus for weeks? It’s been a completely avoidable comms mess”

“Why did Kensington Palace release the doctored photo and then throw Kate Middleton under the bus for it when they’ve presumably known this whole time that she’s dealing with cancer???”

“Kate Middleton just revealed she has cancer and is undergoing chemo, which makes the palace blaming the photo editing on her even weirder. Hopefully she gets better and hopefully their PR learns from this”

“Kate having cancer makes a lot of sense. Hope she recovers. It’s also insane that the palace’s PR let this get so out of control. I thought they ran a tight ship over there.”

“so why did They throw kate middleton under the bus for her ‘photoshop hobby’ and cause an international incident… i fear some press team beheadings are in order”

What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Was the palace’s fumbling PR to blame? The internet being insane? BOTH??

He’s never shied away from copying his dad’s famous looks.

And Romeo Beckham took inspiration from his famous father David yet again by sporting a bandana during a night out at Chiltern Firehouse in London on Saturday.

The footballer, 21, wore a satin patterned bandana recreating his dads iconic noughties look, 25 years after the former England footballer rocked it.

Romeo cut a cool figure in a grey hoodie which boasted teddy bears on the front as he was seen partying at the private members club.

He teamed the casual outfit with a pair of oversized denim patchwork jeans and donned a pair of chunky white trainers.

The Brentford footballer seemed in good spirits as he donned a teeth grill and a gold earring.

Romeo, who later tied his bandana around his pocket, was spotted chatting away to a mystery girl outside the celebrity hotspot.

The brunette beauty flashed her smile as the pair talked while Romeo was seen at one point covering his face with his hands.

David originally rocked the bandana look while attending a party hosted by Jade Jagger with Victoria in 1999.

Spice Girl and fashion icon Victoria has also worn several bandanas during the early years of her career.

Romeo appears to be taking style notes from his famous dad in more ways than one, as he debuted an eye-catching pink buzzcut last Wednesday.

David is known for being a style chameleon when it comes to hair and sported the buzz cut look back in 2000, before revisiting it in 2004, 2008 and as recently as this year.

Taking to Instagram, Romeo shared some photos of his own take on the classic hairstyle.

He wore a baggy grey T-shirt with long white sleeves teaming it with a pair of blue denim jeans.

He struck up a pose for the camera and captioned the street snaps with: ‘Pink time.’

It comes after Romeo’s on/off girlfriend Mia Regan sparked speculation she’s moved out of their love nest after she was seen moving boxes into a pad in east London last month.

The model, 21, announced she had moved in with her boyfriend Romeo earlier this year when she referred to the footballer as her ‘roomie’ in a social media post.

However they revealed they had split up just weeks later after five years together, as they both shared statements online declaring they were now just friends.

But the couple then set tongues wagging when they were spotted holding hands and looking loved-up on a date night the following month.

While their relationship status is unclear, it now seems Mia has moved into her own place after she was seen unpacking in trendy Dalston.

Since then, Mia has shared a series of snaps from the new place on her Instagram page, giving fans a look inside her kitchen and bathroom.

Mia may have moved in with friends judging by the three plates which were set up at breakfast time, laden with toast, eggs and beans on her a kitchen work surface.

The white cabinets and stainless steel tops were a hint Mia have moved house, as snaps of Romeo’s kitchen revealed concrete worktops and a tiled splash back.

Mia hinted she was on the move when she shared a picture of a cardboard box full of crockery, including egg cups and a mugs.

The green-fingered star also picked up some new plants for her home, proudly posing with some greenery on her page.

Mia also appears to have taken her sausage dog with her to the property, as she shared a snap of the longhaired dachshund snoozing on her.

Earlier this year, Mia and Romeo revealed they had flown the family nest as they kicked off 2024 with a new chapter in their relationship.

The couple moved out of the Beckhams’ £31m home and into an apartment together.

Taking to Instagram Romeo shared a snap of their new apartment as he showcased the impressive living space.

The footballer stood in the middle of the reception room which boasted a stylish wooden floor, bright white spotlights and white painted walls.

While the location of the flat is unknown, Romeo and Mia seemed to have moved into an apartment in Battersea as views from Mia’s Instagram suggested the pair can see the Power Station from their window.

Romeo and Mia started dating in May 2019, but it wasn’t until a year later that Mia first appeared on Romeo’s Instagram when they made their relationship ‘red carpet official’.

The pair then sadly parted ways in July 2022 after a three-year romance, with Romeo deleting all traces of Mia from his Instagram.

But just four months later, Romeo hinted at their reconciliation with a conveniently-cropped photo where he received a kiss on the cheek from a mystery love interest.

He then finally confirmed that they had rekindled their romance as they were both seen on a night out with their friends to celebrate Mia’s 20th birthday.

Romeo also gushed over the ‘gorgeous’ model on her big day by sharing some old shots in a sweet birthday tribute.

During their brief time apart, Mia stayed friendly with his family and even collaborated with his mother Victoria Beckham on her self-titled fashion brand.

It is believed that the toll of a long-distance relationship and their conflicting work schedules ultimately contributed to the break-up with Romeo pursuing a football career in Miami, Florida.

And Romeo reportedly ditched his football career in the US after he and Mia struggled with a long-distance relationship.

The football star decided to permanently join the west London side Brentford B over his father’s club Inter Miami CF II – as he rekindled things with his beloved girlfriend.

They announced they had split again in February 2024 before being pictured hand-in-hand just weeks later.

Over the weekend Brooklyn, 21, shared a photo of himself on Instagram applying his mom Victoria Beckham’s new Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lipstick on Peltz, 25, with a noticeably large new tattoo on the back of his neck — a pair of eyes that bear a striking resemblance to Peltz’s.

It didn’t take long for fans to spot the star’s new tattoo with many leaving comments asking Beckham to confirm if the eyes are in fact inspired by his fiancée.

“Wait are those Nicola’s eyes on the back of his neck..?” one person commented. Someone else said, “Omg you tattooed her eyes.”

A ROYAL expert has said Prince Harry’s behaviour towards the Royal Family has been “appalling” and it’s “time he realised that”.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards MBE told Matt Wilkinson, host of The Sun’s new show Royal Exclusive, that King Charles was “very upset” with Harry’s decision to write his bombshell book Spare.

In both his book and well-publicised interviews with ITV and CBS, Harry has accused his stepmother Queen Camilla of leaking details of her first meeting with Prince William.

Harry also claimed in Spare that his brother Prince William allegedly attacked him and labelled Meghan “difficult” and “rude”.

Sun photographer Arthur has now said that King Charles may not “easily forgive” Harry for deciding to go ahead with the book, and it’s time the prince “realised” that his behaviour has been “appalling”.

He said: “I remember going working with [Harry], he was fantastic, he was just amazing, and he was – especially with children, he was absolutely brilliant.

“And I travelled the world with him and I did really enjoy working with him, but you know, now, I really don’t care if I have to see him again.

“Because the way he has behaved towards the King, our Queen, and his brother and his sister-in-law is appalling.

“And I just feel it’s about time he realised that.”

Harry made a series of bombshell allegations in Spare, including that William “attacked” him in a row over Meghan Markle.

He also claimed that he called his therapist instead of Meghan after the confrontation with his brother.

Harry wrote that Charles had pleaded with Harry and William not to “make his final years a misery”.

And the Duke of Sussex claimed William and Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear the infamous Nazi uniform.

The bombshell book accidentally went on sale early in Spain – and The Sun acquired one of the first copies.

Royal photographer Arthur added: “[Harry] is behaving, sometimes, I think, appallingly.

“Certainly some of the things he’s said about members of the Royal Family, and Camilla, and Catherine, and his brother.

“I think you just don’t do that with family, you know?

“Family’s the most important thing in your life and you do everything to keep the family together and at peace.

“I imagine the King’s unhappy with Harry being around people where he could learn stories and hear gossip and put it in his next book or his next podcast or next radio or TV interview and it looks like he’s well informed.

“Of course the King felt very upset with that last thing Harry did, the book, especially what he said about his lovely wife Camilla.

“Because, I mean, they’re a very loved-up couple and you know, to offend our Queen, like he did in that book, you know, really upset the King.

“I don’t think he could easily forgive that. And I imagine the King’s had strong words with him over it.”

How ‘Megxit’ shook the Queen’s final years

By Matt Wilkinson

THROUGHOUT her reign and service, the Queen’s role was chiefly head of state while the Duke of Edinburgh was left to be head of the family.

But when Prince Harry and Meghan revealed on Instagram they were quitting royal duties to live in America, it was a crisis that required the Queen to be both.

At a hastily convened summit at Sandringham in January 2020 her decision was swift and final; the Sussexes can leave the family business but not have the trappings that come with being royal.

The wantaway couple were told there was no “half-in, half-out” role and that they could not have their cake and eat it as they were wished good luck in their new life.

In her statement the Queen thanked them for their “dedicated” work saying she was “particularly proud of Meghan”.

She added: “It is my whole family’s hope that today’s agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life.”

This new beginning was anything but peaceful for the Queen. Because although the couple had quit royal service, they remained in the family.

As one palace insider put it: “They might no longer be working members of the Royal Family but they are not in exile.”

Leaving royal life and service to the crown and state was never a consideration or choice for the Queen. She was catapulted into succession when her uncle Edward VIII quit royal service to marry divorcee Wallis Simpson in 1936.

Seeing the impact on her father scarred the Queen’s early years but she rose to dedicate herself to a life of service.

So in her mid-90s — forced to isolate in Windsor Castle as Covid-19 raged — the Queen was asked to step up and deal with this cross-Atlantic family crisis, again and again and again.

Throughout the pandemic there was the overriding national feeling that Harry and Meghan would be best served in the UK by supporting the Royal Family rather than firing increasingly bitter pot-shots from across the pond.

When the one-year review came round, The Queen acted as both head of state and head of the family when the couple said they would not return.

Meghan was stripped of her patronages. Harry’s honorary military titles were formally removed.

They were relieved as President and Vice-President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust after claiming the former Empire “must right the wrongs” of the past.

In her final Megxit statement the Queen explained: “Following conversations with the Duke, the Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.

“While we are all saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much-loved members of the family.”

The Duke of Sussex responded to the final Megxit deal — struck with Prince Philip in hospital — with an incendiary retort.

Their spokesman said: “As evidenced by their work over the past year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role.

“We can all live a life of service. Service is universal.”

Harry had initiated the review two months early because the couple wanted to tell “their truth” to Oprah Winfrey. The “tell-all” chat which aired days after the swapping of Megxit statements sent shockwaves around the world.

The couple alleged there was a racist in the Royal Family and claimed Meghan’s mental health concerns were ignored.

Astonishingly, the Queen was not told about what was planned, as palace insiders revealed “as non-working members of the Royal Family they are under no obligation to inform the Royal Household of such plans”.

Faced with an onslaught of accusations, many later proven to be untrue, the Queen waited more than 38 hours to respond publicly. She ordered a private family-led probe into the claims but tellingly, issued these words: “Some recollections may vary”.

She kept it civil by saying the Sussexes remain “much-loved family members”.

A source close to the Queen said: “She is not angry, she is just sad. They have always worried about him and the Queen feels very protective about him (Harry).”

Two months later Harry went further on a mental health podcast, blasting his upbringing saying he wanted to “break the cycle” of pain caused by his father.

This felt a more personal attack on the Queen, Charles and the whole Royal Family.

Faced with overwhelming public sympathy, coming after the shock and horror of the first Oprah interview, and grieving the loss of her husband, she stayed silent.

Just a few years earlier the Queen had welcomed divorcee Meghan into the fold and issued an Instrument of Consent for their May 2018 wedding saying she was “delighted for the couple”.

She gifted Meghan a set of pearl earrings and a necklace for her engagement and presented Frogmore Cottage to the couple.

The pair shared a tender moment when the Queen placed a blanket on Meghan’s knees on their first joint-engagement together in Cheshire. Meghan later told Oprah: “The Queen has always been wonderful to me.”

An insider said: “She was understanding that Harry and Meghan wanted out but it could not come at the detriment of the whole family.”

Because stepping away from royal life has never even crossed the Queen’s mind during her reign. She remembered only too well the huge toll that Edward VIII’s abdication had on her own father and the Royal Family.

When Edward quit royal duty to marry American Wallis Simpson, the line of succession passed to her father.

George VI called it a “burden” as he was the second-born and the spare and so was never meant to take the crown, let alone pass it down to his eldest daughter.

But he was regarded as a successful wartime king although he succumbed to the stress and heavy smoking and died aged 56 — leaving Princess Elizabeth to become Queen aged 25.

In a worldwide radio message on her 21st, she said: “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service.”

The thought of abdication, or quitting royal service to enjoy life elsewhere, even stepping away as head of state or head of the family, was never ever an option she wanted or explored.

The Queen was true to her word. And her service was universal to family and state.

 

Pop-star-turned-designer Victoria Beckham accepted the award on Sunday

Ever since Victoria Beckham became a household name, she has been legendary for her style.

From her little Gucci dresses during her Spice Girl days to her gravity-defying stilettos in street style pics and her successful clothing empire, style has always been synonyms with Beckham. And now she’s getting the recognition she deserves.

Beckham was honored with the Fashion Icon Award at the E! People’s Choice Awards 2018 and accepted her prize in true Beckham fashion, wearing a chic all-white blazer-and-trousers ensemble.

During her acceptance speech, Beckham thanked the firefighters who were working tirelessly to help battle the devastating California wildfires, and gave an impassioned call to others like her who dream big — unable to help herself in referencing a lyric from the Spice Girls‘ “Wannabe.”

“I always told myself, ‘Dream big and then dream even bigger.’ And I wanted to show that if I can do it, anyone can do it. And what you can achieve really can be limitless,” said the singer and fashion designer, 44, adding with a peace-sign hand gesture, “I can’t help it — if you really, really want it, okay?”

While Beckham won’t be going on tour with the rest of the group as they hit stadiums across the U.K. in 2019, she was a good sport in giving her fans a cheeky shout-out. “They told me at the table, they said, ‘You come all the way from London, you gotta get up there and give ’em what they want, what they really, really want.’ ”

“So many years ago, I started with girl power, and now that message is just as strong as ever but now it’s through the privilege of being able to empower women through my designs,” she continued.

Beckham has always been known for her style ever since her days as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls. She was known for always wearing the shortest mini dresses and high-end designers (like Gucci!), which these days, 7-year-old daughter Harper Seven finds hilarious.

“When I filmed that, they made me wear a little army dress instead of the combat pants everyone else was wearing and I was really upset at the time because my weight throughout the Spice Girls went up-down-up-down and I really didn’t want to wear a tight little camouflage dress,” Beckham revealed to Vogue Australia about the Spice World movie boot camp scene. “But now Harper looks at it and she finds it really hilarious. ‘Mummy, why are you wearing that mini-dress?’ You have a whole other appreciation for that movie when you watch it years later.”

She also had the highest clothing budget out of the five girls in the group. “I was always the one that loved fashion and it was quite a [good] result for me,” she said at the Vogue 100 exhibition in 2016. “Because the girls always used to get their clothes for free, because they were crap, and so there was a lot of budget for me to have my little Gucci dress,” she revealed.

After years for turning heads for her street style outfits, she created her own namesake clothing line, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary at London Fashion Week.

In her interview with Vogue Australia she revealed that she always knew she wanted to be a fashion designer, rather than a pop star.

“I knew as a woman what I wanted … what I really, really wanted,” she joked, referencing the “Wannabe” lyric. “I always wanted to do fashion, so I was lucky that music was never my main passion. For the other girls it was. Every day someone says: ‘Are you going on tour? You’re the one who’s stopping it.’ ”

“For me, there was always something else I wanted to do. Plan B, phase two,” Beckham added. “Even when I was in the group, on tour, I was always more interested in not just the costumes but the lighting and the set design. It was never just about getting on stage and dancing around.”

King Charles is speaking up — and applauding Princess Catherine for her bravery.

In his first public statement following the shocking announcement of her cancer diagnosis, the 75-year-old monarch praised the Princess of Wales’ strength in opening up to the public about her citation. Buckingham Palace quoted His Majesty, saying:

“His Majesty is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did.’ Following their time in hospital together, HM has ‘remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks.’ Both Their Majesties ‘will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.’”

As you know, the royal family has been experiencing a rough time lately. Last month, King Charles was diagnosed with a form of cancer. He also is undergoing treatment at the moment. It’s wonderful to see him show his support.

It’s also nice they can speak about this publicly. As Kate stayed out of the public eye for weeks amid her recovery, people grew increasingly concerned — and eventually began to spread wild conspiracy theories about her whereabouts and well-being. The whole thing spiraled out of control as the palace released that photoshopped pic — pouring gasoline on the fire. Suddenly they were acting suspicious — apparently for no reason!

After weeks of constant public speculation, the mom of three finally went public with what’s been going on in an emotional video on Friday. Although her doctors initially believed her condition was non-cancerous when Catherine had her surgery, she shared they later discovered cancer in the removed tissue. Now, Kate is undergoing chemotherapy — and having to process that with her three very young children.

As we said, the royal family is going through it right now. Fortunately, though, Charles and Catherine have a strong support system by their side during this tough time. Reactions to the statement? Let us know in the comments below.

Although King Charles III has returned to work after being diagnosed with cancer in February, Kate, Princess of Wales, is still taking her time to recuperate from her battle with the disease.

“It’s a reflection of Her Royal Highness’s importance to the future of the monarchy that she has been given as much time as she needs,” a palace insider shared when discussing why the King is out and about, but Kate remains secluded.

SOURCE: MEGAThe Princess of Wales and King Charles III both had lunch together on March 21, 2024.

“As Sovereign, His Majesty is in a very different position from the Princess of Wales,” they added.

This insight follows reports from March that stated the two senior royals had reportedly “gotten closer” in the wake of their equally shocking cancer diagnoses this year.

“The King has always had a close, warm, and unique relationship with the princess,” a palace source stated then. “She has a great love and respect for him and his position. When they were in hospital together, there was a lot of toddling down the corridor to spend time with her. He has been encouraging and supporting her throughout.”

SOURCE: MEGAKate, Princess of Wales and King Charles III were both in the hospital together in early 2024.

“He’s not a father figure as such — she’s got her own dad to whom she’s absolutely devoted — but you could say the king treats her like the daughter he never had,” a report published on Saturday, March 23, stated. “You see it in the pictures of them together. That relationship is best summed up in those fascinating moments when she greets him first with a kiss and then with a curtsy.”

“It is highly unusual for just the two of them to sit down together like this,” a source revealed when discussing a reported lunch meeting between the future queen and her Sovereign on March 21. “The King had already been made aware that the woman he calls ‘my beloved daughter-in-law’ had cancer. They would have had lots to discuss and share because just weeks earlier the King had begun his course of treatment and dealt with announcing his diagnosis. The King left his lunch feeling very emotional.”

SOURCE: MEGAThe Princess of Wales has not undertaken a public engagement since Christmas Day 2023.

“His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage and speaking as she did. Following their time in hospital together, His Majesty has remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks,” Buckingham Palace shared in a statement on March 22. “Both Their Majesties will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family throughout this difficult time.”

It has been reported that the monarch is all for the future queen taking as much time as she needs to feel strong and ready for duty again.

After “5 years of love,” Romeo Beckham and Mia Regan called it quits in February 2024.

The pair, who started dating in May 2019, were together for two years before they made their red carpet debut at the British Fashion Awards in November 2021.

While they rarely made public appearances as a couple, Beckham and Regan weren’t shy about sharing their love on social media, with posts ranging from birthday tributes to documenting their trips together.

Weeks after their breakup, the former couple was photographed holding hands while taking a walk In West London.

Regan was born in England on Nov. 19, 2002.

She grew up with a brother and appears to be very close to her family. Her father often posts photos to his Instagram of their family adventures, including a trip to Cornwall, England in August 2020, and a day at Glastonbury Festival in June 2022.

In 2022, the model celebrated her 20th birthday by posting photos in a yellow, backless mini dress to her Instagram. “TOILET PICZ😚✌🏼 💛🌟🐝🍌 I’M 20!!!⭐️,” she captioned the post.

She’s a model and content creator

Regan is signed to two top modeling agencies, Storm Management and Ford Models, according to her Instagram. She has walked in runway shows for JW Anderson and Richard Quinn, as well as appeared in campaigns for Ami Paris and Coach.

“I love JW Anderson as a brand, so it felt like a natural progression in my career,” she told Numéro Netherlands about her experience walking the show. “The opportunity allowed me to gain a newfound respect from a model’s perspective, and to top it off and make it even more special, the show took place in my familiar home country.”

In addition to modeling, Regan has built a large social media following as a fashion influencer and content creator. She often shares playful collages on her feed and showcases her wardrobe of bold, vintage fashion. Using the handle @mimimoocher, the model has amassed nearly 650 thousand followers on Instagram and over 330 thousand on TikTok.

While she is still at the beginning of her modeling career, Regan revealed in a TikTok video for Storm Management that she also has plans to work behind the scenes. “I think I’d be really interested in doing more creative direction,” she said. “So the music behind shows or like the styling behind the shows or the set design or just the whole creative direction behind it.”

In May 2023, Regan collaborated with Icelandic outerwear company 66 North on a campaign for their new unisex collection, where she served as the creative director and producer.

“Ahh❗️❗I did a shop window display with the amazing @66north team,” she captioned a series of photos from the project. “Such a fun project, so honoured to creatively direct it🕺🏽🪩🕺🏽🪩.”

She and Beckham started dating in 2019

Though it is unclear how Beckham and Regan met, they started dating in May 2019. The couple reportedly split in July 2022 due to distance, but their breakup was short-lived.

The soccer player celebrated their four-year anniversary in 2023 by posting a photo of them kissing with the caption, “4 years round the world with you xx I love you @mimimoocher.”

She and Beckham made their red carpet debut in 2021

The couple walked the carpet for the first time together at the British Fashion Awards in November 2021. Beckham wore a classic, black military-style suit for the event, while Regan donned a black, fringed Proenza Schouler dress from luxury fashion rental site My Wardrobe HQ. She completed her look with black platform heels and a fringed, yellow clutch.

Regan told Vogue she went with the Proenza Schouler dress because she “wanted to push myself out my comfort zone” and even sought advice from Beckham’s famous mother, fashion mogul and Spice Girls alum Victoria Beckham to help ease her red carpet jitters. “Even just talking about what I’m wearing with her, what nails and make-up I’m going to go for, it’s nice to have that figure,” she said.

Regan worked with Victoria in October 2022 to create a six-piece denim capsule. During an interview with Vogue about the collection, Regan shared that the fashion mogul gave her complete creative freedom to design the capsule.

“Victoria and I have always been in conversation about fashion,” Regan said. “I’ve always wanted to do something like this. I felt that [Victoria] really trusted me. To see her in full work mode was cool.”

Victoria told Vogue that creating the collection with Regan was an “exciting way to bring [Mia’s] signature Gen-Z flair” to her brand.

“Mia has always had a unique approach to fashion and styling. I love that she’s fun and not afraid to try new things when it comes to her personal style, which is reflected in the capsule,” she explained. “This capsule is so entirely Mia. And I love that.”

Beckham gave her a ring for their first anniversary

In a November 2021 video interview with Missoma Jewellery, Regan shared that Beckham gifted her the Vivienne Westwood Belt Ring in silver for their first anniversary.

“This ring is very important to me because I wear it all day, every day, through everything I do,” she said at the time. “Romeo gave it to me for our one-year anniversary.”

The model also showed off a pair of stacked silver rings in the video, which included one that had “Ro” engraved on the top (her nickname for Beckham).

She likes photography

In her spare time, Regan likes photography. She has a separate Instagram profile for her photos, which she calls an “account to feed my unhealthy addiction for film pics” in her bio.

The model’s photography profile includes images of Beckham, her friends and scenes from her life such as an audience at fashion shows. She shoots all her photos on a Fujifilm Klasse camera using Kodak Gold or Portra 400 film, according to her Instagram bio.

She and Beckham loved to travel together

In December 2022, the couple went on a cabin trip in the English countryside. Beckham posted a video on TikTok of their trip, set to the song “So in Love” by Curtis Mayfield, which showed the two hiking and cooking together.

“Me and my girl eating and hiking, nuffin better ❤️,” he captioned the video.

Six months later, Regan and Beckham went on a road trip to Big Sur, California. The pair stopped to take photos at the Bixby Creek Bridge and explore the forest terrain.

“We made itttt @mimimoocher,” Beckham wrote alongside a photo of the two on a cliffside next to the iconic bridge.

The couple also attended several music festivals and sports events together, including Glastonbury Festival in June 2023 and the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain in July 2023.

The exes announced their split on Instagram — each penning statements on their respective accounts.

“This is ro, we have grown up with each other since we were 16!! Love takes different forms & paths as you mature. We aren’t together romantically but we do share lots & lots of love for one another,” Regan wrote.

Meanwhile, Beckham said, “Mooch and I have parted ways after 5 years of love. We still have a lot of love and respect for each other, and still hold a strong friendship and always will.”

Less than a month after their split, Beckham and Regan were spotted holding hands while on a walk together in London.

Romeo isn’t the only one in the Beckham clan to have paid tribute to Victoria’s music career of late.

Back in October, Nicola Peltz Beckham — who is married to David, 48, and Victoria’s oldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham — honored her mother-in-law by donning a retro T-shirt that featured an image of Victoria, 49, wearing Posh Spice’s signature black dress with her Spice Girls nickname in yellow letters.
