Catherine, Princess of Wales: ‘I was awful!’ This role challenged her immensely
Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, serves as a prominent representative of the Royal Family, gracefully executing her duties with poise and intellect. It appears that she has discovered her ideal position alongside her husband, Prince William, 42. Prior to her royal life, Catherine navigated a completely different career path, most recently holding the role of project manager at her family’s party decoration business, as well as serving as a buying assistant for a fashion retailer. However, she recently recalled the various jobs she undertook during her time at St. Andrews University, a chapter she might wish had remained hidden.
During a 2019 BBC special titled ‘A Berry Royal Christmas,’ hosted by Mary Berry, 89, Catherine shared her youthful experiences with part-time jobs, including serving non-alcoholic cocktails at a charity event. She reflected on her university days, admitting to a brief stint in waitressing. When Berry inquired about her skills in that role, Catherine candidly stated, ‘No, I was awful!’ Thankfully, she now brings the royal sparkle to the public rather than merely serving drinks.

King Charles: An unforgettable encounter with royal photographer Arthur Edwards
King Charles, 76, is known for his sometimes brusque demeanor, a fact that royal photographer Arthur Edwards, 84, can attest to. Edwards recalls a memorable encounter with the heir presumptive during the early 1980s near Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. While enjoying a stroll along a public footpath that crossed royal grounds, he was confronted by Prince Charles on horseback.
During this brief but impactful meeting, Charles sharply questioned Edwards, ‘What are you doing on my land?’ The photographer quickly retorted, ‘It’s not your land; I’m on a public footpath.’ This witty comeback did little to temper the prince’s irritation, as he curtly informed Edwards, ‘It’s for walking, not for photographing.’ Fortunately, their relationship has since improved, and a stroll past the picturesque Highgrove estate no longer unsettles the photographer.

Princess Charlène appears without her wedding ring at Didier Guillaume’s funeral
A seemingly small detail can carry significant meaning: Princess Charlène, 46, was notably without her wedding ring during the funeral of French politician Didier Guillaume. Traditionally worn on her left ring finger since her marriage to Prince Albert, 66, this 18-carat white gold ring from Cartier symbolizes the vows they exchanged on their wedding day. Despite a minor mishap when Albert initially placed it on the wrong hand, it was quickly rectified, and the ring has held deep sentimental value since.
The absence of this cherished piece of jewelry during the January 23, 2025, funeral raised eyebrows. This isn’t the first instance of Charlène being seen without her ring; she also went ringless at the Grimaldi Forum’s 25th anniversary celebration on January 16. The situation draws a parallel to Duchess Meghan, 43, who similarly went without her engagement ring for several weeks in late summer 2023—not due to marital strife, but simply for repairs.

Prince Harry’s email address unveils an amusing nickname
Following his lawsuit against ‘News Group Newspapers’, Prince Harry has settled with the publisher, receiving approximately 12 million euros in compensation. This settlement also included apologies for illegal surveillance tactics used against him. As part of the revelations, Harry’s former email addresses were made public.
According to ‘The Telegraph’, one of these addresses humorously highlights his private nickname: ‘[email protected].’ In his memoir ‘Spare,’ Harry confirmed that a resemblance between him and a spiny anteater named ‘Spike’ led to this playful moniker, a comparison made by a friend after a 2003 photo of him with the animal went viral.
Princess Tatiana’s new romance revealed
After their separation in April 2024, Prince Nikolaos, 55, has been linked to journalist Ainola Terzopoulou. Recently, he attended a memorial service for King Constantine, †82, with a new companion, Chrysi Vardinoyannis, and reports suggest they may even be engaged. Meanwhile, Princess Tatiana, 44, has been spotted enjoying time with artist Konstantin Kakanias, 63. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a joyful moment with him, celebrating his talent and expressing gratitude for their friendship.
