King Charles unveils portrait as Meghan reveals ‘souvenir’ from Nigeria tour – live

When I started campaigning for animal rights as a teenager in the 1980s, I was really inspired by an iconic poster created by anti-fur campaigners. Alongside an image of a smartly dressed woman holding a bloody fur coat was a corker of a slogan: “It takes up to 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat. But only one to wear it.”

If you’d told me back then that we’d still be discussing the issue four decades on, I wouldn’t have believed you. Surely this vain cruelty would have been eradicated long before 2024?

Fans were delighted by a video clip that saw the Bristolian Love Island presenter tell the monarch she would soon be flying to Spain to film another series of “young people snogging”. In another clip, she is heard saying “You alright?” to Queen Camilla.

The couple are scheduled to visit the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London where they will meet the President of the Royal Horticultural Society, Keith Weed.

He attended an event at The Royal Society’s building in Carlton House Terrace, highlighting “the latest scientific and economic research into antimicrobial resistance.”

Coincidentally, the hospital is also where William himself was born in 1982 and later Prince Harry in 1984.

The Prince of Wales has called for “urgent action” against drug-resistant superbugs – describing this point in history as a “critical juncture”.

Prince Willam made the plea while acting in his capacity as patron of the Fleming Initiative, which is working to ensure the continued effectiveness of antibiotics.

He did so today at an event in London celebrating the steps that have already been made in this area.

“There is an urgent need for new measures to access new and existing vaccines, diagnostics and medicines,” he said.

“We stand at a critical juncture where the interconnections between drug resistance, climate change and environmental degradation cannot be ignored.”

Prince William, 41, is a vocal supporter of the charity, which is working to ensure that antibiotics remain effective in the face of antimicrobial resistance.

Taking to Twitter (X), Kensington Royal wrote: “The Fleming Initiative is dedicated to combating antimicrobial resistance, and is at the forefront of research and innovation.

“Proud to be Patron of the appeal for its creation.”

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was in the country with Prince Harry, 39, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

While Harry had chosen to mark the occasion in the UK before flying to Nigeria, Meghan skipped this leg of the celebrations last week.

Opening up to PEOPLE about the events she did attend in Nigeria, she gushed: “It was such warm hospitality and it was a really meaningful trip. It was incredibly memorable and special. That alone is the best souvenir to take with us – all the memories we’ve made.”

The trip was also a significant one in terms of the couple’s history, marking their first overseas tour as private citizens following their decision to step down as working royals in 2020.

The Gladiator director, 86, said he was “incredibly honoured to be invited to yesterday’s Buckingham Palace garden party for UK creatives.

He said of the possibility that they are fans: “[I have] no idea. But they’ve to watch something at night don’t they?”

The Queen Consort, 75, wore a pale pink fringed coat dress by Anna Valentine and matching hat and the Monarch appeared to match his outfit with a pink waistcoat.

Artist Tracey Emin, one of the 4,000 guests at the party, revealed: “We spoke about health and painting.

“He asked me if I was recovering – which I am and it was lovely to see the Queen too. I complimented them on their pinks – she said it was unintentional!”
