The Queen’s comedy sketch

The Queen appeared in a surprise comic sketch with Paddington Bear to mark the start of her the Jubilee concert.

Her Majesty was seen sitting across the table from the adorable toy to enjoy some tea and treats, but it soon turned into chaos as the accident-prone fan-favourite character drank all the tea.

The sketch started with a royal staff member carrying a tray into a room where the Queen and Paddington Bear are sat waiting.

The beloved bear then reached for the teapot and drank the majority of its contents before offering the monarch some. When she gestured for it, they realised there was only a drop left.

Paddington Bear then got up and accidentally sprayed cream from a chocolate eclair all over the place, including on a Palace Footman.

Royal fans were left delighted at the sketch.

Prince William shows George how to do cufflinks

Royal fans saw a sweet father-son moment between Princes George and William as the doting dad showed his eight year old son how to wear cufflinks.

Prince William, Kate Middleton and their two eldest children George and Charlotte, six, promptly arrived at this evening’s Party at the Palace located outside Buckingham Palace.

As the family sat down in their front-row seats the camera panned across the many faces in the Royal box, and showed William chatting to his eldest son and demonstrating how to wear the smart attire staple.

Princess Charlotte dances to Disney’s Encanto song

Princess Charlotte was spotted looking adorable as she danced along to the hit Encanto song We Don’t Talk About Bruno while in Cardiff.

The seven year old daughter of Kate Middleton, 40, and Prince William, 39, was seen giggling and dancing during her first royal engagement in Wales.

Beaming as she and brother George, eight, met the performers and crew involved in a special concert in honour of the Queen’s 70-year reign, she couldn’t help but flash a smile as she swayed from side to side.

After listening to several songs by the orchestra, including Sweet Caroline, she appeared visibly overjoyed when the track from Encanto came on.

She was first a little shy during the concert, but soon opened up and shared a sweet laugh with her dad.

Kate and William hold hands with George and Charlotte in Cardiff

Kate Middleton and Prince William were pictured during a royal visit at Cardiff Castle as the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations continue.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were accompanied by their two older children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Kate, 40, William, 39, eight year old George and seven year old Charlotte were greeted by fans as they made their way into the castle’s grounds to attend a concert. But, their youngest child Prince Louis wasn’t seen with them.

Mum Kate looked vibrant in an orange dress, which she matched with a black clutch bag and court heels of the same colour.

While heir to the throne George was dressed in a smart dark blue suit. And Charlotte matched her big brother as she wore a navy blue coat, with a pair of silver shoes and adorable white socks.

Zara Tindall stuns in blue

Zara Tindall arrived at the Epsom Derby in the south of England looking gorgeous in a vibrant blue dress, which she teamed with a matching hat and silver accessories.

She was accompanied by her husband Mike, 43, who looked dapper in a grey suit, as well as her mum Princess Anne, 71, who donned an off-white checked dress for the occasion.

Peter Phillips makes debut with girlfriend

Peter Phillips made his public debut with his new girlfriend Lindsay Wallace, 40.

The new couple were spotted attending the Epsom Derby today, Saturday 4 June, for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

For their debut at the Derby, Lindsay wowed in a bold coral coloured midi dress, which she paired with a pale pink beret with floral detailing, and a clutch bag and shoes of the same colour.

Meanwhile, Peter looked sharp in a tailcoat and top hat, paired with a beige double-breasted waistcoat and pinstripe trousers.

They attended the event with Zara, her husband Mike Tindall, as well as Princess Anne.

Princess Anne is all smiles at the Derby

Anne, the Princess Royal, arrived in Epsom for the Derby Day with her family after a quick trip to Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland.

Anne, alongside her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, arrived at the sold-out racecourse in Surrey just before 1pm as part of a procession.

Crowds cheered and waved union flags as they made their way in to the course, with Anne seen smiling and waving from a balcony.

Prince Edward and Sophie visit Belfast

Prince Edward and Sophie were in Belfast, where they joined members of the public at a 1950s-themed celebration on Royal Avenue in the city to hear stories of the city’s diverse communities and share memories and experiences with members of the local community.

The countess also joined in with a series of Platinum Jubilee craft activities with school children as they make crowns and toy corgis, before she viewed a showcase of fashion through the ages.

They also visited stalls at the Retro Jubilee Market and taste a local delicacy, the Belfast Bap!

To finish their trip, they watched a community dance group perform a routine celebrating the last seven decades.
