Kensington Palace Posts Pensive Photo of Prince William in Deep Thought

I can't help but wonder what Prince William was thinking after his latest royal outing, thanks to this mysterious photo.
Today, the Prince of Wales, 42, traveled to Scotland to celebrate the brand-new partnership between Homewards U.K. and Hays, which will benefit people experiencing homelessness. Kensington Palace shared a slideshow of photos from the visit on Instagram, including a striking portrait of Prince William in deep thought.
The first photo showed Prince William standing next to British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett, who joined forces with the duke to support the cause. I immediately noticed that the Prince of Wales had a pensive expression on his face, which indicated that he was actively listening to what Bartlett was saying.
In the caption, Prince William revealed that he's honored to be part of the initiative. He wrote, 'Great to be joined by @steven as @homewardsuk announces an exciting new partnership with recruitment specialists Hays, which will provide employment and training opportunities for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness across all six Homewards locations.'
The royal continued, 'And in addition, thanks to 'Project Flourish', Hays—with support from @everyyouth_uk—will also work specifically with young people at risk of homelessness to find and sustain meaningful employment.'As evidenced by his comment on the post, Bartlett seemingly had a great time with the prince. He wrote, 'Thank you again for being so generous with your time Sir! An absolute honour.'
Jane Barlow/Of course, Prince William's now-signature scruff was on full display during the outing. The royal originally debuted his new beard last year and has experimented with the length over the past few months. He previously revealed that his daughter, Princess Charlotte, didn't approve when he first grew it out. However, the rumor is that Kate Middleton likes it. (Sorry, Char.)

Is America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season 3 happening? From cast to suspected release date

If, like us, you've already finished America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season two, then you're probably wondering if and when the third season will be on Netflix to fill that Thunderstruck-shaped hole in your life. Given the success of seasons one and two of the show, which were released on 20 June 2024 and 18 June 2025 respectively, fans have got their fingers crossed that a third season will be on its way. Although, Netflix is yet to confirm (or deny) anything about the fate of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Regardless of that, our excitement levels for a third season are so high that we've scoured the internet to find everything we know about a possible third instalment. From cast to suspected release date, here's everything we know about America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three... As mentioned, there's been no confirmation from Netflix on a third season of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, but the team has already been posting a lot on their socials about the audition process for the coming year. That's because what we've seen on season two happened last year so, if Netflix does film a series three, it'll follow those currently competing in the audition and training camp process. If America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders does get renewed for a third season, there will be some familiar faces we can count on seeing, including DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell. There may be a celebrity star too, if the group's Instagram is anything to go by – as singer, songwriter, and musician Kacey Musgraves has been involved in the training camp process as a guest judge. In terms of who will (or won't) make the cheerleading team in season three, there's been some spoilers shared on social media which point to who we can expect to see. On the official DCC Instagram, zooming into the above training camp post gives us a good idea of the returning cast who have made it through to this round, while a post about the 'rookies' of the season introduces us to newer faces. As well as the veterans who retired at the end of season two (those being Chandi, Jada, Armani, Zoe, and Amanda), some other cast mates are missing from the promo shot above. While we know that fan-favourite Dayton auditioned again this season, given that she's missing from the training camp image, we can assume she was cut. Taking to social media to comment on a fan's post about just that, she commented: "It wasn't in the cards for me, but I'm proud of how much I've grown. I feel it's important to note I did EVERYTHING they asked of me and tried my absolute best to fit their mould. I'm not wanted there and I'm hoping this takes me to where I truly belong!" Again, there's been no confirmation that an America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three is definitely happening but, if it does, we guess it'll be released in June 2026, based on the release pattern of seasons one and two. Until then, we'll be busy rewatching both seasons, catching old episodes of Making The Team, and following all the cast members on social media. Stream all episodes of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders seasons one and two on Netflix now.

What Katie Sturino Wants You to Know About Her Body (and Yours, Too)

Katie Sturino is not a black swimsuit type of gal. As she wandered the racks at Bergdorf Goodman on a Thursday afternoon in late May, she wore a floral silk muumuu and a striped sweater, a bright green Hermès bag with candy-colored purse charms slung across her arm. She grabbed a stack of bathing suits — patterns, colors, a baby blue tweed bikini with buttons at the waist — and asked a sales associate hovering nearby if she could please grab them in the largest size the store has. The associate eventually returned without the requested models, instead proffering up a scant handful of shirred, red one-piece options, adding, unasked, that they came in navy and black, too. They were too small, but Ms. Sturino politely tried one on anyway. It fit, if fitting means technically being able to pull a garment over one's body. Ms. Sturino was unfazed, taking out her phone to snap a mirror selfie of the pair of us in matching vermilion Lycra. It's a scene that's played out dozens of times — both in her private life and in the videos she regularly broadcasts to more than 800,000 followers on Instagram: Ms. Sturino searching for clothes that fit her in major retailers, trying on a too-small option, and documenting the result. It's also a scene that unfolds in the opening pages of her first novel, 'Sunny Side Up,' out on Tuesday. The book tells the story of a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body-positivity influencer slash entrepreneur who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life. The protagonist's biography bears a close resemblance to that of Ms. Sturino — a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body-positivity influencer slash entrepreneur who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life.
