Kate Middleton & Prince William's Relationship Is Experiencing 'Major Shifts' Behind the Scenes, Says Insider
Joined by her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the 36-year-old showed off her long, honey-blonde hair, a drastic change from the hair color she inherited from her famous redhead mom.
Beatrice wore a pink and white gingham two-piece set. Her buttoned-up, collarless jacket had puffed sleeves and cinched at the waist. Under the peplum style top, she wore an A-line skirt, blending seamlessly into the many similar silhouettes worn by the ladies of Ascot.
Known for her dramatic headwear, Beatrice tied the look together with a statement cream hat, a white bag, and nude heels.
The Royal Ascot was a family affair for the extended members of the British Royal Family! Beatrice joined her uncle, King Charles III, and his wife, Queen Camilla, as well as aunt, Princess Anne, and her kids (Beatrice's cousins) Zara Tindall and Mike Phillips.
Beatrice, whose younger sister is Princess Eugenie, was the only member of her side of the family in attendance as her disgraced father continues to stay out of the public eye after announcing his departure from royal duties in 2022. At the time, Andrew was embroiled in a lawsuit with Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that she was sex trafficked to the Duke of York at age 17. The case was settled out of court, with Andrew paying an undisclosed sum.
Andrew did make a rare public appearance alongside Charles at June 16's Order of the Garter celebrations, but otherwise, he rarely joins the Royal Family at public events.Best of SheKnows

Was '28 Years Later' worth the wait? Beauty in the frightening madness of zombie movie
It's been 23 years since Danny Boyle and Alex Garland collaborated on 28 Days Later, and with such a large gap in films, a big question for 28 Years Later has been whether it can reinvigorate the excitement of the first. Starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'Connell and Alfie Williams, the new movie feels electric. It's becoming increasingly more difficult to really feel surprised by a movie, with so many clinging to familiar and beloved plot points and storytelling elements. But 28 Years Later is able to fully shock and surprise. 28 Years Later release date: June 20Director: Danny BoyleWriter: Alex GarlandCast: Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O'ConnellRuntime: 115 minutes It's been, as the title states, almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory and decimated the U.K., prompting a strict quarantine. A small group of survivors live on an island, connected to the mainland by a causeway, which can only be crossed during a low tide. The film is focused on 12-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams), who we meet on his first day of an excursion to the mainland with his father Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). It's a rite of passage for Spike to take the intimidating journey for his "first kill," as he says goodbye to his sick mother Isla (Jodie Comer), who suffers from a condition that's impacted her both physically and cognitively. While on the hunt Spike finds out about Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) and hopes that he could help his ailing mother. Jamie is adamant that won't be the case, but Spike doesn't listen and travels back with his mother to reach Dr. Kelson on the mainland. Garland and Boyle certainly aren't giving us the expected with 28 Years Later. The film is firmly planted in the horror genre, while including rich commentary on modern society, without sacrificing any off the gruesome elements. The first portion of the movie is largely focused on intense chase scenes and terrifying zombie surprises with the introduction of the Alphas. The naked creatures are some of the most terrifying zombies we've gotten in a long time, while the film also suggests that the zombies may not be as mindless as many believe. Boyle's direction takes a brisk pace through the film. It feels sharp and impactful with a really satisfying execution of something thrillingly chaotic. Using elements like stock footage of British soldiers and clips of other films, it adds to the startling nature of the movie. Notably, the movie was filmed on iPhones, an evolution from the digital cameras used in the first film, as Boyle provides terrifying frenzied shots, in addition to breathtaking images of the landscape. As we get deeper into the story, there's more time spent on the film's examination od humanity, including our relationship with death and questions about the ecosystem, while adding a sprinkling of dark comedy. But that's what Garland does well, he adds a compelling richness to films while making room for visual impact, and creating a foundation to elevate both elements. While some may think 28 Years Later is too wacky for them, while the story could have more cohesion overall, there's no denying the spectacle of the film as we lean into the feeling of dread throughout the story.

Patrick Walden death: Pete Doherty pays tribute after Babyshambles guitarist dies aged 46
Babyshambles guitarist Patrick Walden has died aged 46. News of his death was announced on the rock group's social media page on Friday night (20 June). 'It is with deep regret and sadness that we share the news of Patrick Walden's death,' the band wrote. 'We feel very fortunate to have known, loved and worked with him and we kindly ask for respect and privacy during these difficult times. Peter, Drew, Mik, Adam.' Pete Doherty, who once called Walden 'the best guitar player I've ever worked with', reshared the post to his personal social media page. The indie rock band was formed by lead singer Doherty in 2003 during his hiatus from The Libertines on account of his drug use. His new group – made up of himself as frontman, drummer Gemma Clarke, Walden on guitar and Drew McConnell on bass – released hits including 'Kilamangiro', 'Delivery' and 'The Blinding'. Babyshambles were known for lyrics that touched on topics such as drug addiction, heartbreak, and isolation. The band remained active until 2014. Walden, however, left early in its tenure around 2005. While Walden continued to show up at several Babyshambles gigs following his official exit, issues with drug use halted his return. Walden co-wrote many of the band's most successful songs, including six of the 16 tracks on the band's 2005 debut album, Down in Albion, such as 'The Man Who Came to Stay'. Tributes poured in on social media for the late musician, with one fan writing: 'The best guitarist of my generation. Nobody's sounded as good since Asheton in the Stooges.' Fellow indie band, The Paddingtons, added: 'You're gonna be missed Pat, best guitarist we ever met, one of the good guys. Rest in peace mate.' One fan recounted a memorable exchange with the musician, writing: 'I'm devastated by this news. Pat was a kind soul. I remember his kind words and how he helped me after I was assaulted in Camden. An incredible musician. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.' 'He was an absolute legend and a huge part of the iconic sound of the first album and gigs around that time I was really hoping he would be part of the reunion absolutely devastating news,' said someone else. Doherty is due to perform with The Libertines on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in a week's time. The group's current members include Doherty, McConnell, Mick Withnall, and Adam Ficek.

Johnny Marr Reveals Real Reason He Turned Down 'Eye-Watering' Offer To Reunite With Morrissey
Music legend Johnny Marr has said there was a very simple reason he wasn't interested in getting The Smiths back together. In September 2024, former Smiths frontman Morrissey claimed that he and his former bandmate had been made a 'lucrative offer' months earlier to reunite. While he claimed that he'd been in favour of a reunion, he wrote that Marr had simply 'ignored the offer', though the man himself later insisted: 'I didn't ignore the offer – I said no.' During an interview on the podcast Stick To Football, the guitar hero confirmed: 'We [had] an offer [to reunite] recently, but I said no.' He went on to say the decision was 'a little bit about principles', adding: 'But I'm not an idiot, I just think the vibe's not right. Bad vibe.' 'It was an eye-watering amount of money,' Marr noted, but pointed out: 'I really like what I'm doing now which makes it a lot easier. I really like where I'm at. I still work, I craft, I still want to write the best song I've ever written. I want to be a better performer.' In an attempted dig at his former bandmate last year, Morrissey wrote on his official website when Marr's dismissal of a Smiths reunion was made public: 'Morrissey said Yes to the offer; Marr ignored the offer. 'Morrissey undertakes a largely sold out tour of the USA in November. Marr continues to tour as a special guest to New Order.' Morrissey has come under fire on numerous occasions in the last few years for his commentary on politics both in the UK and abroad, as well as his apparent endorsement of far-right groups and parties. Around the time that Morrissey first alleged that Marr had thrown the brakes on a Smiths reunion, the guitarist responded to one X user's calls for the group to get back together with a simple photo of a grinning Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party, of whom the Everyday Is Like Sunday singer has previously spoken favourably.
