Kate Middleton quietly shares new photo as King Charles mourns tragic death – live

The Duke of Edinburgh has opened up about the Maltese people’s “deep and sincere” affection for his late parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

Edward, 60, made the revelations at the residence of the High Commissioner on a four-day trip to the country to mark the 60th anniversary of its independence.

The late Elizabeth and Philip lived in Malta between 1949 and 1951, during the early part of her marriage to Philip, who was stationed there as an officer in the Royal Navy.

Prince Edward said: “The other thing that comes across so strongly is the very deep and sincere affection that so many people on this island have for my parents and that very special time that they had here with their young family, and it was lovely to visit the villa where they stayed during that time.

“The number of people who have said, ‘Have you been to the villa and are you going to go and see it?’, it obviously means a great deal to everybody here.”

He jokingly made the request to director Paul Greengrass, clasping his hands together and saying “Another Bourne, another Bourne”.

The visit was made to celebrate the work of young people in the film and creative industry and the prince met with those who had received a bursary in his name as part of the visit.

The Princess of Wales has quietly uploaded a new picture of herself and Prince William to the official Kensington Palace Instagram account – featuring an outtake from their Paris Olympics video.

It is now the cover for the account’s August Instagram Stories highlight and features the pair in blue polo shirts.

The video itself was initially uploaded two months ago and saw the couple congratulate Team GB for their efforts at the Paris Olympics and express their personal enjoyment of the event itself.

King Charles has issued a statement expressing his “greatest sadness” after the death of inspirational Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert.

Ms Ebert, who lived to be 1000, won worldwide praise after speaking out about her horrific experience at Auschwitz, where she lost her mother, younger sister, and brother to the gas chambers after arriving at the camp in 1944 when she was 20 years old.

The monarch said: “It was with the greatest sadness that I heard this morning the news of Lily Ebert’s death.

“As a survivor of the unmentionable horrors of the Holocaust, I am so proud that she later found a home in Britain where she continued to tell the world of the horrendous atrocities she had witnessed, as a permanent reminder for our generation – and, indeed, for future generations – of the depths of depravity and evil to which humankind can fall, when reason, compassion and truth are abandoned.

“Alongside other Holocaust survivors, she became an integral part of the fabric of our nation; her extraordinary resilience and courage an example to us all, which will never be forgotten.”

Ms Ebert is said to have passed away peacefully yesterday (9 October). She previously met the king in 2022.

The longest-serving British royal photographer Anwar Hussein has passed away at the age of 85.

Responsible for iconic images like the late Princess Diana sitting in front of the Taj Mahal, his impressive portfolio of work spans over five decades of royal life.

He also photographed Diana’s infamous “revenge dress”, with the pair reported to have struck up a close friendship, that sadly ended with him photographing her funeral in 1996.

Mr Hussein is said to have died from a long illness on 23 September.

The Duchess of Sussex’s best friend has paid tribute to her character following a surprise appearance at a hospital charity gala at the weekend.

“I was also beyond grateful to share in this beautiful evening with one of my closest friends. Meg, your commitment to supporting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and community is truly inspiring. I’m so grateful to have you by my side,” Ms Zajfen wrote.

Living there during the early days of their marriage, the couple were brought to the country by Prince Philip’s job in the Royal Navy.

However, today it was stressed that the queen was not “a regular sailor’s wife”.

Giancarlo Azzopardi, assistant curator at Heritage Malta, said this is a common “misconception”, explaining: “The princess was living here at a time when there was a question about whether or not independence was going to happen and the princess was at work putting on a public image for Britain, for post-war Britain.

“Despite the idea, the misconception, that she was here as a regular sailor’s wife, she was quite busy. Every single day she was at an event.”

King Charles has paid tribute to “extraordinary” Auschwitz survivor Lily Ebert who passed away peacefully today at the age of 100.

Ms Ebert lost her mother, younger sister, and brother to the gas chambers and went on to tell her story in a bestselling memoir, Lily’s Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live.

The monarch met Ms Ebert in 2022 when a portrait of her was unveiled.

Charles, 75, said in a statement: “It was with the greatest sadness that I heard this morning the news of Lily Ebert’s death.

“As a survivor of the unmentionable horrors of the Holocaust, I am so proud that she later found a home in Britain where she continued to tell the world of the horrendous atrocities she had witnessed, as a permanent reminder for our generation – and, indeed, for future generations – of the depths of depravity and evil to which humankind can fall, when reason, compassion and truth are abandoned.

“Alongside other Holocaust survivors, she became an integral part of the fabric of our nation; her extraordinary resilience and courage an example to us all, which will never be forgotten.”

She made an appearance at the Rovers Return alongside Corrie star Sally Dynevor after they toured the nearby Prevent Breast Cancer charity headquarters in Manchester.

The duchess said: “Coming on the cobbles is quite a huge moment.”

While there, she met the executive producer of continuing drama Iain MacLeod, the soap’s assistant producer Verity MacLeod, and Matt Cleary, director of production.

She joked: “I’ve got to bamboozle you three to allow me to do a cameo.”
