The Princess of Wales is renowned for her enthusiastic participation in a wide range of activities during her Royal engagements. Whether it's an event involving children or sports, Kate is always ready to join in, from sprinting and gardening to playing hockey and practising taekwondo.
She also never fails to impress with her fashion choices at public appearances – her striking aquamarine Catherine Walker dress coat, complete with ivory contrast lapels and cuffs, turned heads at the Trooping of the Colour. Complementing her outfit was a matching wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill, which she wore while seated next to Princess Charlotte in the carriage procession.
Kate accessorised with Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, a favourite of hers that she has worn on several occasions, including the recent Qatar State Visit and Remembrance Sunday. Additionally, she sported the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch on her jacket.

Maintaining such an active lifestyle and impeccable appearance requires a nutritious diet, and Kate is known for her preference for a Mediterranean diet. This diet focuses on plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, as well as moderate amounts of lean protein from fish and poultry, low-fat dairy products, and healthy fats such as olive oil, while limiting red meat and sweets.
Moreover, Kate is said to "love" preparing roast chicken for family meals and has a fondness for spicy vegetable curries, reports Cambridgeshire Live.
Kate is known for her love of high-impact weight training workouts, and she exercises daily without a personal trainer, ensuring she gets enough protein for maximum benefits. Nikkita Hope-Brown, a certified PT and owner of Found, a women-only strength training studio in London, told HELLO: "You cannot build muscle without the building blocks, which is protein."
She explained: "To give a metaphor, proteins are the bricks that makeup the wall, and strength training is the actual bricklaying. You cannot build a house without the actual bricks or someone doing the work of laying the bricks - you need to have both. How much protein we need depends on our goals and body, for muscle growth, typically 1.5 - 2g of protein for every kilogram we weigh."
Fitness coach and founder of Owning Your Menopause, Kate Rowe-Ham, echoed this sentiment: "You can't out-train a poor diet. Muscles are built in the gym but need to recover and transform in the kitchen. To support muscle growth and recovery, it is essential to consume a high-protein diet, especially after a workout."
Kate advised: "Include whole foods rich in fibre, healthy fats, and complex carbs to fuel your workouts and stabilise hormones."
The Royal is reportedly a fan of starting her day with a green smoothie, much like Meghan Markle, her sister-in-law. This healthful concoction typically includes spinach, kale, blueberries and matcha.
She's also known to kick-start her mornings with a bowl of slow-burning energy oats, or rolled oats, which she often pairs with milk or yoghurt, adding fruits, nuts, cinnamon, and nut butter for extra flavour.
Her midday meals usually comprise salads and fruit bowls, with an emphasis on foods that enhance skin health, such as watermelon salads and gazpacho. An afternoon pick-me-up might be berries blended with almond milk, and she generally prefers lighter meals during the day.
According to the Daily Mail, Kate has a penchant for raw dishes like watermelon salads, gazpacho, goji berries, tabbouleh and ceviche due to their skincare benefits. However, when it comes to dinner, she enjoys heartier, traditional English fare such as big roasts and curries.
Here's a glimpse into Kate's daily food routine:.
Breakfast: A staple green smoothie blending kale, spinach, spirulina, matcha, romaine lettuce, cilantro, and blueberries, or alternatively, a bowl of slow-burn energy oats.
Lunch: Salads and fruit bowls are favourites, with a special focus on skin-beneficial foods like watermelon salads, gazpacho, and tabbouleh. Ceviche is also a preferred choice.
Dinner: While she leans towards lighter meals during the day, Kate relishes traditional English meals or carb-rich options for tea, such as roast dinners and curries.
Snacks: Olives and popcorn are said to be her go-to snacks.
Beverages: She's a fan of smoothies, and is also known to sip on ginger tea.

Abbie Chatfield celebrates her 30th birthday 'somewhere in Greece' with partner Adam Hyde - as he freestyles her a sweet celebration song

Abbie Chatfield broke her social media embargo this week to celebrate her 30th birthday. The influencer announced last week that she was taking a month off all online platforms after a year of incessant trolling. But Abbie was back on Instagram on Friday to reflect on her 30 years on the planet. She shared an expansive carousel of throwback images from her past, augmented with 20 things that she wished she knew at 20. Captioning the post, Abbie revealed that she and boyfriend Adam Hyde were living it up 'somewhere in Greece.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm excited to be 30,' she wrote. 'I've never been scared of ageing. Every day I learn and grow, so what's there to be scared of? 'I'm proud of myself for the woman I am, and I am excited to meet the woman I will become. She continued: 'I'm happy that I made it this far. Here's what I wish I knew at 20 as I enter my 30s. Abbie then went on to impart several pearls of wisdom that she has picked up along the way, including the ability to 'feel your feelings'. 'Don't over-intellectualise,' she wrote over an image that showed her engrossed in a book. 'Don't numb yourself with your favourite vice. It takes practise to process emotions. The more you do it, the more you learn. That is true resilience.' She also emphasised the importance of keeping a daily journal as a way of making sense of the world. 'UNFORTUNATELY, journaling every day helps,' she imparted. 'It can be painful and daunting, but it is much like massaging a knot in the muscles. Abbie then went on to impart several pearls of wisdom that she had picked up along the way including the ability to 'feel your feelings' 'At first it hurts and you will want to stop but you must persist until you feel the tension ease. Write freely without restriction or expectation. She also reiterated the importance of telling people close about feelings, adding: 'Tell people how you feel as often as possible! It will free you and save you pain! And the outcome could be better than worst case. Better than you imagine' She also waxed lyrical about the importance of keeping fit, but only up to a point. 'DO NOT exercise to punish yourself. Don't exercise out of pure vanity. Move to feel good. Dance, run, walk, stretch, do a star jump Whatever!' she exclaimed 'Exercise changes your life for the better, but only if you're listening to your body and enjoying it! Another life lesson Abbie imparted was the importance of recognising the transient nature of life. She wrote: 'Very few things in life are permanent, least of all your emotional state. When it's hard, don't panic, because change is coming. When it's easy, be grateful, because change is coming.' She also had some sage words for people in relationships too, adding: Relationships SHOULD NOT be hard! They are "work" yes, but hard is not the word. 'When there is natural love and respect, issues do not linger or fester. The person you are with should make you lighter.' Abbie's wise words were augmented by a catchy clip of boyfriend Adam Hyde celebrating his ladylove with an impromptu song. 'Birthday baby, it's the birthday queen,' Adam began singing over a simple beat while a bikini-clad Abbie danced seductively in the background. Adam's romantic tribute was full of swoonworthy lines guaranteed to make anyone's knees buckle. 'She's the best looking woman on top of the entire world, she sings for the men and she sings for the girls,' he sang. He continued: 'Every time I see her, I just want to weep, because she's more pretty than my favourite poems. '30 years young with wisdom on her tongue, you know she is my favourite, she's the world's favourite song.' Abbie also showed off her musical talent in the video, singing back up vocals of 'It's my birthday', as Adam continued his serenade. Adam's post was met with a flurry of comments from fans - with more than a few suggesting a full studio release. 'Bro, this is sooo catchy, I'm vibing,' one follower quipped while another jumped in with a similar: 'Release this NOW! Omg happy 30th bday Abbbbbbz.'

Cyprus' lyrical duelists spit fierce rhymes as they battle it out to the licks of a fiddle

Lyrical duelists in Cyprus spit rhymes in head-to-head contests, keeping alive a tradition known as 'tsiattista' that emerged centuries before the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Konstantinos Christou Grilias and Adamos Peratikos are among a new group of poets in this Mediterranean country who battle it out live on stage to the rhythms of the lute and fiddle. The battles are fierce, but you won't find any Kendrick-Drake style beef. Tsiattista made UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. The similarities with American hip-hop diss songs and battle rap are many: two duelists using their wits and turns of phrase to boast how superior they are, giving opponents a schooling in an onslaught of lyrical beatdowns. It's complete with assertive gestures and the hands-behind-the-back patience of the poet waiting to pounce. 'Even if you'd been a paramedic, I'd send you to hospital with a heart attack,' Peratikos told one adversary — a line with more snap in the Cypriot Greek dialect, whose syntax is akin to ancient Greek. Grilias dissed his opponent as a lightweight and a laughingstock. The audience of hundreds along a seaside promenade murmured in approval. Tsiattista battles which have been around since at least the end of the 19th century, are undergoing a bit of a revival, thanks to performers like Grilias and Peratikos. 'We urge other kids who like it to come along to safeguard this institution,' said Peratikos, 41. 'The goal isn't about awards, the goal is to keep tradition alive.' The 44-year-old Grilias said he's never really delved into the world of Kendrick Lamar or Jay-Z. 'Honestly, I've never listened to rappers. They told me that they battle in their own language, in their own way,' Grilias said as he prepared for a tsiattista duel at the peak of a festival for the Orthodox Christian Pentecost. 'Rappers don't know where Cyprus is," he added. The new group of performers, known as tsiattistaes, started to replace the older generation about 15 years ago at the premier competition in Larnaca during the annual Pentecost festival known as Kataklysmos, said ethnomusicologist Nicoletta Demetriou, who is director of the island nation's Music Archive. The new generation includes women, though few participate because of lingering social exclusion, Demetriou said. The current tsiattista format of a two-verse rhyme with a total of 15 syllables was developed in the late 18th to early 19th century, evolving from the introduction of the rhyming verse to the Greek-speaking world in the 15th and 16th centuries, Demetriou said. It draws on a tradition of poets matching wits from the times of Pericles in ancient Greece. The structure and musical accompaniment are simple, so that the rhymes are clear and understandable for both the audience and the adversary. Contests can address a range of themes, but the underlying premise is to determine who's the best at the diss. 'It's usually a fight, meaning 'I'd clobber you, kill you, bury you,' Grilias said. 'But I believe the public likes more a bit of humor, too.' For contestants, it's about who shows up ready, can stay cool and make the fewest mistakes in front of a crowd. 'Truth is, you're stressed, you're under pressure," Grilias said, and 'the person who can best handle this has the advantage.' One useful strategy is guessing how to get into your opponent's way of thinking, predicting possible responses to your lines, Peratikos said. He dismissed AI technology as incapable of coming up with effective rhymes in the Cypriot Greek dialect. 'There are words that we've heard but we don't even know, so there's no way artificial intelligence does,' Peratikos said. At the end of a long night of battling, Grilias and Peratikos finished fourth and fifth, respectively. A judging panel composed of men and women determined the winners. The two contestants took their places in stride. 'We're all friends, that's what's important,' Grilias said.
