Prince Edward has been praised by royal fans today after it was announced he has become patron of another organisation. The Duke of Edinburgh, 61, is now patron of the Southbank Centre, a role that was previously held by his late mother Queen Elizabeth II.

The centre is the UK’s largest arts centre and was opened by King George VI in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain. It presents more than 5,000 events a year, alongside events, workshops and projects that have been designed to engage and inspire children, families, young people and adults of all backgrounds.

Since being announced as patron and touring the centre, royal fans have been quick to celebrate the news, with many believing that Edward - who has had a lifelong interest in the arts - is the best royal fit for the role.

A royal commentator has hinted at another potential rift between Prince Harry and his elder sibling, Prince William, over a possible Netflix documentary focusing on their mother.

Rebecca English of the Daily Mail discussed the matter on the Palace Confidential podcast, noting that while Harry, 40, might feel compelled to create a documentary about Princess Diana, it could ignite tensions with 42 year old William.

As King Charles battles on with his cancer diagnosis, it is said the reigning monarch has adopted one of Prince Philip's most defining traits - his no-nonsense attitude.

A man of action rather than words, he embodied a directness that, while sometimes controversial, was a key part of his leadership style.

The late Duke of Edinburgh believed in practicality and common sense. As reported by media, when when officials, courtiers, or family members overcomplicated matters, he had little patience. His attitude was best summed up by his famous phrase "Just get on with it".

Tom Parker Bowles has lifted the lid on Queen Camilla's cooking skills - sharing that she is not very good at following recipes. Speaking of his mum on the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast, Tom shares that his mum still makes "excellent" scrambled eggs - despite not having to do much cooking anymore.

Sharing that, unlike his own children, he and his sister Laura didn't have a say in what food they ate growing up. Speaking on the podcast, Tom, 50, said: "We didn't have a choice growing up. My kids say 'ooh I don't feel like that'. No, that was it, you had lunch or dinner and that was it."

Queen Camilla and King Charles have supported one another since taking to the throne. At joint engagements, the King and Queen are always all smiles together as they carry out their royal roles.

However, while the couple are as solid as can be, it seems that the Queen, 77, has been frustrated at King Charles over the last year for one thing.

On multiple occasions since the King first announced his cancer diagnosis last year, Camilla has expressed frustration at her husband’s lack of ability to rest and follow doctor’s orders.

Despite missing some engagements, the King, 77, has seemed as determined as ever to carry out royal duties while undergoing treatment.

Princess Kate continues to gradually return to royal duties and is putting her best fashion foot forward when she does.

The Princess of Wales spent months away from the spotlight last year while she underwent chemotherapy, following a shock cancer diagnosis. But now she is easing back into work since it was announced that she completed treatment and is in remission.

In recent months, we have seen her step out in head-turning ensembles, and they have all featured the same key detail—a shoulder pad.

The 43-year-old royal is elevating her look to convey that she is stronger than ever. She has swapped pastel colours and flowing skirts for a more refined and tailored look that entwines modern feminine touches.

A Norwegian royal has given an update about his health in a new statement. Shaman Durek Verrett, the husband of Princess Martha Louise, said he is currently undergoing dialysis three times a week "just to survive".

The new revelation by the 50-year-old comes after he said he was being "targeted" by a Norwegian news outlet Se og Hor, who he said published a nude photo of him without his consent and then ran false allegations of abuse.

Durek said his claims were supported by the Norwegian Press Professional Committee who ruled that Se og Hør violated press ethics on two occasions. The news of his health has come in a statement responding to this situation.

Royal fans around the world were shocked after it was revealed on Thursday that King Charles had to go to hospital for a “short period of observation” after experiencing side effects from his cancer treatment.

Although the monarch, 76, is now back home, it is believed he was at The London Clinic, a hospital which treated Charles and Princess Kate last year when they both required surgical procedures.

While the idea of a hospital may generate negative thoughts of busy corridors and long waiting times in the minds of some, this is not the case when it comes to The London Clinic.

Since being founded in 1932, the hospital has gained a worldwide reputation for the exceptional care it offers patients. As well as treating King Charles and Princess Kate, the list of famous faces it has treated before is also impressive and includes former Prime Minister Clement Attlee, US President John F. Kennedy and Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor.

Yesterday, the Queen had a prior engagement, meeting some of ITV's leading stars at a special reception to celebrate 70 years since the network's first broadcast - so she was unable to join the King during his hospital visit. Instead, Camilla met TV stars Dermot O Leary, Susannah Reid and Olivia Attwood at the TV network's celebrations.

The Duchess of Edinburgh headed to Brussels on Wednesday to attend an event highlighting the need to tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation online.

Joined by safeguarding minister Jess Phillips, Sophie told European politicians at an event hosted by the European Parliament intergroup on children's rights that tackling online child abuse requires a "collective effort by all" including governments and technology companies.

Prince Edward's wife looked chic in a blazer suit by Victoria Beckham in bluebell blue, a Gabriela Hearst Floral shirt. She accessorised the look with a white Mulberry leather belt, a pair of Jimmy Choo Rosalia 65 heels in pink, and a new Sophie Habsburg Moneypenny bag in the colour "jeans".
