Over the weekend, the royal family graced the Buckingham Palace balcony for King Charles’s first official birthday celebration as Monarch. The event featured a spectacular military flyover, but it was five-year-old Prince Louis who once again stole the show with his animated facial expressions.

The palace marked Father’s Day with a heartwarming social media post. The image featured King Charles with his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, during their younger years. This gesture is particularly poignant given Prince Harry’s current residence in the U.S. and the recent news of Spotify ending its $20 million podcast deal with him and Meghan. In a separate Father’s Day post, the palace shared a picture of a beaming Prince William with his three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Prince William Announces Ambitious Project to Tackle Homelessness
In a rare interview with The Sunday Times, Prince William, the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, revealed his plans to launch a significant project aimed at addressing homelessness. He described the endeavor as “nerve-wracking but really exciting,” stating that he has been waiting for the opportune moment to take action.
Prince William’s commitment to tackling homelessness stems from his late mother, Princess Diana. She introduced both William and Harry to the issue at a young age, taking them to various homeless shelters and organizations. The experience left an indelible mark on the Prince of Wales, who has personally experienced a night on the streets and even attempted to sell a magazine that supports the homeless.

His ultimate goal is to contribute to eradicating homelessness. He shared his intentions to expose his children to the issue, explaining that he discusses the importance of helping those in need, just as his mother did with him and Harry.
