Royal news live: FBI name royal in sex scandal as new Prince George photo released

Prince George, the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, celebrated his 11th birthday on Monday.

The celebrations come after an eventful few weeks for George who joined his father at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, last weekend to support England in the Euro 2024 final which they lost to Spain.

The heir to the throne has had a difficult year as he saw his mother, the Princess of Wales, undergo cancer treatment this year.

However, if tradition remains, Kate would have been up until late last night to bake a cake for her firstborn son.

“I love making the cake.” She revealed to Mary Berry on a 2019 episode of A Berry Royal Christmas. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ‘til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.”

Profumo was forced to resign and the affair threatened to topple the Macmillan government as it was revealed the 19-year-old was also sleeping with a Russian spy.

Birmingham has won the bid to host the Invictus Games in 2027, with the Duke of Sussex congratulating the city on its success.

The UK government-backed £26 million proposal saw off competition from US finalist Washington DC and the event will be staged at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in July in three years’ time.

Three new sports – pickleball, laser run and esports – are expected to feature in the 2027 Games.

Harry, who founded the sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans, said Birmingham’s strong ties to the military community had made it a “formidable contender”.

It will be the first time the Games has come home to the UK since the duke staged the inaugural tournament in London in 2014.

Harry, patron of the Invictus Games Foundation, said in a statement: “Congratulations to Birmingham, UK, on winning the bid to host the Invictus Games 2027.

“Your city’s strong ties to the armed forces community made it a formidable contender from the very start.

“Over the years, we’ve seen each city bring a unique spirit and vision to life for competitors, their families and spectators.

“We have no doubt the people of Birmingham will join in celebrating the unwavering respect and admiration we have for our veteran and service community, showing the world how their courage ignites hope and unites us all — something your city knows well.”

As the former chief executive of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games breaks his silence on his departure, here is what the prince had to say at the time.

Harry said he was “immensely grateful” to his “friend” Dominic Reid for transforming the Paralympic-style sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans from an ambitious idea into a global movement.

He praised his tireless efforts and spoke of the journey they shared together.

The duke, who founded Invictus in 2014, said in a statement: “I am immensely grateful to my friend, Dominic, whose dedication and leadership transformed the Invictus Games from an ambitious idea to an internationally recognised movement.

“His tireless efforts over the past decade have supported thousands of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans through sports rehabilitation, helping to showcase their unparalleled strength and contribution to society.”

He added: “Thank you, Dominic, for a decade of relentless service to the Invictus Games Foundation.

“What a journey it has been, and how fortunate we are to work with such an incredible community of people.

“We pray we don’t need the Games for another 10 years, but thanks to you, the team and our future CEO, we will be ready.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a new photo of Prince George to mark his 11th birthday.

The image, posted on Kensington Palace’s social media accounts, was taken by Kate at Windsor earlier this month.

The black and white shot shows the future King looking smart and grown up in an open-necked white shirt and dark blazer as he smiles at the camera.

King Charles made a well-wisher’s day by breaking protocol in a major way and allowing the 91-year-old to kiss him on the cheek.

The sweet interaction took place on the monarch’s recent trip to the Channel Islands, which was his first as king.

Kathleen Moriarty, 91, told Charles that she had always wanted to kiss a king when the pair met in Guernsey and he was happy to grant her wish.

She later told the BBC: “I said to him, ‘Please, can I give you a kiss?’ And he gives me his cheek. I just did it! I didn’t plan it, and I enjoyed it. He’s lovely. It was very nice. I am pleased. I thought if all these young dolly birds can do it, this old lady can!”

Under traditional royal protocol, even hugging members of the public is frowned upon.

A palace insider has claimed that the Princess of Wales is likely to remain out of the public eye for the foreseeable future as she continues her cancer treatment.

Kate, 42, made a welcome return to duty at last month’s Trooping the Colour, but admitted that she was not “out of the woods yet” in her battle against an undisclosed form of the disease.

Following her return, there was some doubt about whether or not she would appear at Wimbledon to present the trophies in her capacity as patron of the All England Club.

She returned to work last Friday after being hospitalised following a kick from a horse that left her with a concussion and minor injuries.

Taking to Twitter/X, the couple described the Princess Royal, 73, as a “super trooper” and added “so great to see you back so soon! W & C x”.

Anne is widely considered to be one of the hardest-working members of the royal family and has undertaken over 200 engagements this year.
