Prince William sent a letter of support to a Truro City football club, following the club’s historic milestone.
In addition to being the Prince of Wales, Prince William holds additional titles. In 2011, Queen Elizabeth II named him the Duke of Cambridge when he married Catherine Middleton. Following her passing and King Charles III’s coronation, he also became the Duke of Cornwall.
Prince William is known to be a fan of the game and is a patron of the Football Association. He recently attended the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Final match with his daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Truro City were just promoted to the National League. It is the first Cornish Football Club to achieve professional status.
Ian Patrick, Esq., M.B.E., Private Secretary to Prince William, penned the letter on his instruction.
In it, he wrote: “Prince William has asked me to pass on his warmest congratulations in getting promoted to the National League as Cornwall’s first professional team. This comes with the Duke of Cornwall’s very best wishes. Good luck to The Tinners.”
The letter was posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), by the club who described it as a “heartfelt message.”
The Duke of Cornwall has asked me to write ahead of your home match against York on Saturday next week.
The Duke knows that you have only just returned home after a few years away, and like everyone else in Cornwall will be cheering you on.
Prince William has asked me to pass on his warmest congratulations in getting promoted to the National League as Cornwall’s first professional team.
This comes with the Duke of Cornwall’s very best wishes. Good luck to The Tinners.

Following her visit to the V&A East Warehouse in London last month, Princess Catherine has now curated her own small exhibition. Titled Makers and Curators, the mini-display is now on display at the V&A.
“Objects can tell a story,” she wrote in text accompanying her display.
“A collection of objects can create a narrative, both about our past and as inspiration for the future. This display celebrates our past makers and creators and illustrates how much historic objects can influence fashion, design, film, art and creativity today. Individual, unique objects can come together to create a collective whole that helps us to explore our social and cultural experiences, and the role we play in the wider tapestry of life. “
“The display curated by The Princess is one of over 100 changing mini displays, literally ‘hacked’ into the sides and ends of storage racking,” the V&A said in a statement. “Her Royal Highness’s display shows how individual, unique objects can come together to create a collective whole that helps us to explore our social and cultural experiences, and the role we play in the wider tapestry of life.”
Objects that Catherine has chosen include an original costume from a Royal Ballet 1960 production of The Sleeping Beauty. The gorgeous piece was designed by Oliver Messel.
In addition, there is a porcelain vase from China’s Qing Dynasty, a forest watercolour by Beatrix Potter, a 19th century Welsh hand-quilted bedcover and an oil painting by celebrated artist George Henry Boughton.

Twenty years since the horrifying attack, Prince William laid flowers honouring the victims of the July 7 London bombings. Joined by survivors and families of those who lost their lives, the Prince of Wales was amongst the 500-strong crowd at Hyde Park.
The first flowers were laid at 8.50am, followed by a minute’s silence. The time coincided with the moment the first bomb went off in a co-ordinated series of explosions which hit three London Underground trains along with a double decker bus during the busy London rush hour. There were 52 killed and 700 injured by the four suicide bombers in what was the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil.
The names of the 52 were read out during the following service at St Paul’s Cathedral while the Memorial Garden established at Hyde Park comprises of 52 pillars to mark each life lost.
King Charles also released a statement, marking the anniversary, paying special tribute to the emergency workers and brave bystanders who rushed in to help.
“We remember with profound sadness the 52 innocent people who were killed in senseless acts of evil – and the enduring grief of their loved ones,” the King said.
“We recall, too, the hundreds more who carry physical and psychological scars, and pray that their suffering may ease as the years pass.”
The monarch went on to note the “extraordinary courage and compassion” people displayed during the “darkness of that day.”
“The selfless bravery of our emergency services, transport workers, and fellow citizens who rushed towards danger to help strangers reminds us of the very best of humanity in the face of the very worst,” he went on.
“It is this spirit of unity that has helped London, and our nation, to heal,” the King said. “As we remember those we lost, let us therefore use this 20th anniversary to reaffirm our commitment to building a society where people of all faiths and backgrounds can live together with mutual respect and understanding, always standing firm against those who would seek to divide us.”

In her first public appearance since pulling out of Royal Ascot, Princess Catherine has spoken candidly about the difficulties she faced recovering from chemotherapy during her recent cancer treatment. Having announced her remission in January, these latest comments reveal how tough her battle truly was.
“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatment’s done – then it’s like ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,” Princess Catherine told staff and patients of her own experience while visiting the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital.
“But actually the phase afterwards is really difficult, you’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to.
“But it’s life-changing for anyone, through first diagnosis or post treatment and things like that, it is a life-changing experience both for the patient but also for the families as well.
“And actually it sometimes goes unrecognised, you don’t necessarily, particularly when it’s the first time, appreciate how much impact it is going to have.
“You have to find your new normal and that takes time… and it’s a rollercoaster it’s not one smooth plane, which you expect it to be. But the reality is it’s not, you go through hard times.”
At the end of her visit, the Princess of Wales planted 50 Catherine’s Rose plants, named after the princess by the RHS with funds from sales going to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. The royal was in Colchester to learn more about how gardens in health care settings can contribute to both postitive health outcomes as well as support speedier recovery.

On Prince William’s birthday, his family wishes him a happy birthday with a sweet post on the official Instagram page for the Prince and Princess of Wales. The image confirmed what many royalists have expected: Orla, the royal pooch, has had her puppies!
The post was captioned: “Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies!”
The accompanying image includes three of the (confirmed) four puppies which Orla recently gave birth to. Kensington Palace confirmed that the image was taken in June 2025, so we would estimate that the pups are a couple of months old by now!
Orla was gifted to the Prince and Princess of Wales by James Middleton, Catherine’s brother, in 2020 after their previous dog, Lupo, passed away.
That wasn’t the only birthday wish that the prince received. The official account of the Royal Family also posted an image of Prince William from when he was on a visit to the Duchy of Cornwall back in May.
The caption read: “Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!”

Instead of heading to Day Three of Royal Ascot 2025, Prince William and Australian actress Cate Blanchett visited Colorfix, a UK company and finalist for the Earthshot Prize.
While there, the royal and the actress shared a laugh over some experiments as they were given a tour. They went to four laboratories at the facility, each of which has a step in the company’s environmentally-friendly fabric dye.
According to reports, Prince William admitted that he should have paid more attention in school, as some of the science was going over his head.
“Today has just made me realise I should have listened in all of my chemistry lessons. Going back over all those old notes like, ‘Damn, why didn’t I pay more attention’.”

Princess Catherine was due to arrive in the second carriage alongside husband Prince William and golfer Justin Rose and his wife Kate Phillips.
In Catherine’s absence, Prince William arrived in the first carriage of the royal procession alongside The King, Queen and Prince Saud bin Khalid Al Saud, of the Saudi Arabian royal family.

Princess Catherine released a short film titled Scouts and Access to Nature on April 15. In the film, the Princess of Wales (who is also the Joint President of Scouts) discusses the importance of the natural world and its ability to support our health and wellbeing with Dwayne Fields, Chief Scout.
When asked by Dwayne what she thinks about while out in nature, Catherine said:
“I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection, I suppose, these environments.
“Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so, therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.”
The film was shot last month near the shores of Lake Windermere in northwest England. Catherine and Dwayne were accompanied by Scouts and Scout Explorers from 1st Buddha’s Light in Greater Manchester and 1st Buddha’s Light.
During the trip, these Scouts and Scout Explorers undertook a challenge to earn their Naturalist Badge.

Ahead of the parade, she will present good conduct and long service medals to members of the regiment. As is tradition, Catherine will also present a bushel of shamrocks — an emblem of Ireland — to officers and guardsmen.
