William was faced with the question from school pupil Amir Hassan, who made the royal laugh when he asked: “How much do you have in your bank account?” The schoolboy said after the event the future king had replied that he “didn’t know”. William was also...

King Charles and Queen Camilla will use recycled thrones from King George VI's coronation at their own. The 74-year-old monarch and his 75-year-old wife will pay a special nod to Charles' late grandparents by reusing identical chairs that were used in George VI's 1937 coronation and also be sustainable. George's throne has been re-upholstered but still boasts the original embroidered coats of arms. And Camilla's, which was used by the Queen Mother, has the queen's coat of arms. Caroline de Guitaut, the deputy surveyor of the King’s Works of Art at the Royal Collection Trust, said: "For His Maj...

According to The Times, sources said both ‘The Crown’ and Dame Judi were “taking it seriously” – but the publication added there was conflict between the actress and producers over the Queen Mother being a relatively small role, as well as alleged disputes on her payment. The report comes despite Dame Judi accusing ‘T...

The pair’s names are also now joined by a circular crest and the inscriptions below of: ‘Elizabeth II 1926–20...

James Blunt says Queen Elizabeth's funeral stirred memories of guarding the Queen Mother lying in state. The former reconnaissance officer in the Life Guards regiment of the British Army guarded the late royal's coffin and was part of the funeral procession on April 9, 2002. And the 'You're Beautiful' hitmaker - who queued with his wife Sofia Wellesley, granddaughter of the 8th Duke of Wellington, to see the late British monarch lying in state before her funeral on Monday (19.09.22) - says it was even more emotional as he was reminded of his service to the queen's mother two decades ago. The 4...

Queen Consort Camilla has the same "sort of naughtiness" as the late Queen Mother. The 75-year-old royal has been compared to her husband King Charles' beloved grandmother because she has a similar "lovely charm" and the same "great" sense of humour. Camilla's friend, Gavin Barker, said: "King Charles was so in awe of the Queen Mother, and his wife has the same lovely charm. Her great sense of humour is like his grandma’s. Camilla is so warm, calm, natural and has a sort of naughtiness about her." Other friends of the queen consort - who married Charles in 2005 - praised the way she has stayed...

Queen Elizabeth once attended a Women's Institute meeting during a power cut. The late monarch - who died on Thursday (08.09.22), aged 96 - joined the community-based organisation in 1933 as a princess and she rarely missed a meeting at the Sandringham branch, even once insisting on attending a meeting in darkness.
