Prince William, Kate Middleton celebrate 14th wedding anniversary in Scotland
Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary Tuesday in Scotland, the country where they fell in love.
William and Kate -- known in Scotland as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, their Scottish titles -- are on a two-day visit to the Isle of Mull, where they are meeting with locals and visiting community centers supported by their Royal Foundation.
The royals first met as students at St. Andrews University in Scotland over 20 years ago.
William and Kate started out as friends during their days as St. Andrews students in the early 2000s, and later became roommates.
They both studied art history and geography and shared a farm house with several friends.

If DAYS Spoilers are True, June 19 Could Ruin the One Bond EJ Has Left
Days of our Lives spoilers for Thursday, June 19 warn that EJ has something major to discuss with Johnny. Does it rhyme with 'shmattempted shmurder?' Rachel (Alice Halsey) remembers seeing Johnny (Carson Boatman) with a gun the night EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) was shot. EJ remembers seeing Johnny with a gun the night EJ was shot. Johnny knows he had a gun the night EJ was shot. (Kristen [Stacy Haiduk] knows it too, but she made a deal to keep quiet and traumatize her daughter, so, she's muted for now.) Neither EJ nor Johnny has discussed it up to now. Probably because they're not speaking. Well, at least Johnny isn't speaking to EJ. But they're going to have to talk sooner or later. And EJ has decided it's going to be sooner. WATCH THIS: Did you know Soap Hub has a podcast?! Check it out here. Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) woke up from his coma. Kate (Lauren Koslow) wanted to know who beat him into it. Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) wanted to know too. Each for their own reasons. But Philip let his mother down and confused Sarah when he claimed he didn't remember. And he definitely didn't remember it being Xander (Paul Telfer). So Kate is frustrated, Sarah is stymied, and Xander demands to see his daughter. After all, he's not the criminal Sarah made him out to be, is he? There is still a lot of grief in Salem, as Belle (Martha Madison) comforts Marlena (Deidre Hall), who is working on getting through life one day at a time. This isn't something she's just going to snap out of. Meanwhile, Chanel (Raven Bowens) is upset about whatever it is that's going on with Johnny now. Paulina (Jackée Harry) is there to cluck, sympathize, and promise that everything is going to be OK for her precious baby girl.

The 'Dept. Q' Interiors Are More Significant Than You Might Think
If you're watching Dept. Q, the latest police drama on Netflix, then you're probably trying to figure out solicitor Merritt Lingard's fate or wondering what season 2 will entail. Or, like us, you could be so fixated on the interiors that you're too distracted to concentrate on the crimes in question. At first glance the interiors are dark, cold and gritty—like the basement urinals where Detective Carl Morck (played by Matthew Goode) and his micro-team have to set up office. But look closer, and the interiors are stylized, atmospheric, and likely to inspire your home decor. Plus, they have their own main character energy and play a big part in creating the edginess of the drama. While the Netflix show is based on a series of crime books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen set in Copenhagen, Dept. Q has moved its setting to the Scottish city Edinburgh, with the show's creator Scott Frank describing it as 'the perfect combination between the modern and the medieval.' These are our top interiors moments in Dept. Q and why they matter. In the opening episode of the series, we go into Carl's boss, Moira Jacobson's office at the Edinburgh Police HQ. While the force might be in need of some cash, we couldn't stop staring at the carpet! With a fitting tartan nod, the green-and-red square pattern has a '70s-style template that complements the vertical wood paneling and mid-century furniture. And we haven't even gotten to the bare concrete pillars and floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows. While you know the carpet gives off stale 'grandparent house' cigarette smoke, it's also giving us good Mad Men vibes. It doesn't look like much when Carl is shown down to his new office quarters for Dept. Q–it is, after all, the police HQ's old toilet/shower/changing room/gym. But it's the basement space, named 'Q,' that gives the department, and the show, its name. 'Where's this office?' asks Carl. 'Q?' he replies as Jacobson hands him the labeled keys. 'Where's that?' he asks. 'Downstairs,' she replies. 'But the offices are numbered downstairs, Moira,' retorts Carl. 'I meant downstairs downstairs,' she replies. It's amazing what some lighting can do to the space, which starts off piled full of discarded chairs and old case note boxes. Especially for the Claridge's green and bottle brown rectangular wall tiles which perfectly offset the geometric floor and ceiling pendant lights. In a later episode, when DC Rose Dickson (Leah Byrne) joins the department, it gets positively atmospheric and you could easily forget about the urinals and the discarded gym weights, that Carl can't lift, around the corner. We're particularly into Merritt's house by the sea, although if we were receiving mysterious death threats, we really wouldn't want to be living in a building with so much glass. Filmed in Dirleton in East Lothian, the actual house was an old World War II radar station which had been renovated and then sold. Dept.Q's supervising location manager Hugh Gourlay has said, 'We ended up painting it to give it a more austere flavor. It has that feeling of Merritt's coldness.' There's also a coolness to the interiors with the stainless steel kitchen, the bare concrete floors, and white-washed walls. Again, the lighting, in the form of up-lit wall fittings and large arc floor lamps, creates the eerie atmosphere that gives that bad-person-lurking-outside feel, as does the open plan design. Draw the curtains Merritt! The care home where Merritt's brother William ends up—which Carl and his anorak-wearing, far more charismatic sidekick Akram Salim (Alexej Manvelov) visit in episode 2—is set outside of Edinburgh in Midlothian. It was shot at Vogrie House, Pathhead, an old mansion that was made to 'look like a clinic, institutional but richer than it is,' according to location manager Gourlay. Indeed it looks more like an ambassador's residence than a care home with mahogany furnishings, plush velvet armchairs and a sweeping grand staircase. The luxe mansion feel begs the question: What part does the suspiciously glamorous Dr. Fiona Wallace (Michelle Duncan), who is now in charge of William's care, have in all of this? And also, who is paying for him to be there?

Princess Kate posts sweet, puppy-filled birthday message for Prince William: See photo
Princess Kate is celebrating Prince William's 43rd birthday. The Princess of Wales, also 43, took to the family's Instagram account on Saturday, June 21 to celebrate her husband — who is first in line to the British throne — with a sweet, celebratory post filled with puppies. "Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies! 🐾" Kate said in the caption, signing the message from the pair's 11-year-old son Prince George, Princess Charlotte, 10, and youngest son Prince Louis, 7. In the snap, William was wearing a green button-up shirt and casual blue jeans. Kate's post came after she missed an expected June 18 appearance at Royal Ascot, in what would have been her return to the horse-racing event after she battled cancer. Prince William's kids share cute 'before and after' photos for Father's Day The message arrived just a week after Trooping the Colour, the royal birthday celebration for Charles. William, Kate and their children all attended, with Kate and Charlotte both dressed in aqua. The birthday note comes after Kate shared a Father's Day message for William from the couple's three children on June 15. The post also included two photos of William with George, Charlotte and Louis. The first picture showed the four standing and posing together, casually coordinated in jeans and sweaters, while the second showed them all lying on the ground and laughing. "Happy Father's Day, Papa (before and after!) We love you!" the caption read. The Instagram post was also signed "G, C & L." Contributing: Brendan Morrow
