Good morning and welcome to this week's royal live blog.
Follow along for the rest of the day to see the biggest royal news stories and events.
Royal agenda
Today is a very sentimental day for King Charles's cousin, Lady Sarah Chatto as she marks her wedding anniversary with husband, Daniel Chatto.
Celebrations are also in order for Crown Princess Victoria, as the heir to the Swedish throne will be marking her 48th birthday.
The celebrations sound incredible and will feature an event at Solliden Palace.
Members of the Swedish public will be encouraged to sing for the princess before a carriage ride through Borgholm to the Borgholm Castle ruins.
George and Charlotte break royal protocol?
Prince George and Princess Charlotte delighted royal watchers as they attended the Wimbledon men's final with the Prince and Princess of Wales on Sunday.
But did you see the moment that the young royals were seen holding out tennis balls for winner Jannik Sinner to sign after the match?
Watch the sweet moment in the video below...
Donald Trump's UK state visit
Buckingham Palace has released further details about US President Donald Trump's second state visit.
This will be Mr Trump's second state visit to the UK – an unprecedented gesture towards an American leader, having previously been feted by a state visit in 2019.
The President and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, will be hosted at Windsor Castle by the King and Queen in September.
The agenda for Crown Princess Victoria's birthday
The Swedish palace has revealed what we can expect from Crown Princess Victoria's birthday celebrations today:
At 15:50 local time, the Crown Princess will receive well-wishes from the public outside Solliden's Castle.
At 16.00, the Crown Princess and her family will go on a motorcade through Borgholm.
At 17.00, a concert will be held at Borgholm's castle ruins. The Crown Princess will also hand out the Victoria Prize to beach volleyball players David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig.
Kate and Charlotte in sync
Did you notice how sync the Princess of Wales and her daughter, Princess Charlotte, were in the royal box during the Wimbledon men's final yesterday?
The mother-daughter duo have such similar mannerisms and expressions!
Princess Leonor
The heir to the Spanish throne has today received the medal of Galicia 2025 in Santiago de Compostela.
The regional government awarded it as a token of "affection and respect of the Galician people".
Wearing her summer naval uniform, Princess Leonor paid tribute to the region in a short speech.
Kate's stack of rings
The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that Kate was wearing four of her most treasured jewels to Wimbledon over the weekend.
On Saturday, she added her iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring, estimated by the Antique Jewellery Company to be worth up to £400,000, to the stack, which featured her wedding ring, her first eternity ring from William after George's birth and her new sapphire and diamond eternity ring by Cartier.
King Felipe in London
While all eyes were on the Waleses at Wimbledon, we also spotted King Felipe of Spain, just a few seats down from Prince William.
The monarch was at the tennis tournament to show his support for Carlos Alcaraz.
Queen Mary's message
The Danish royals might be taking a family break away from their public duties, but Queen Mary still had duty at the forefront of her mind.
She's released a very personal message via her Mary Foundation, which she set up as Crown Princess in 2007.
Look back at Lady Sarah Chatto's wedding
Lady Sarah Chatto and her husband, Daniel Chatto, are a very private couple and rarely make public appearances.
The pair tied the knot on 14 July 1994 at the low-key St Stephen's, Walbrook in the City of London.
The bride wore a gown designed by Jasper Conran with the Snowdon Floral tiara. Guests included the Lady Sarah's mother, Princess Margaret, as well as Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip and Princess Diana.
Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindall, was among the bridesmaids.
Princess Kate's hidden message to Louis
Hello! Phoebe here taking over the live blog for this afternoon.
Despite coming to a close on Sunday, we're still reminiscing about Wimbledon... particularly Princess Kate's courtside fashion.
For the showdown between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the Princess of Wales ooked fabulous in an electric blue bow A-line midi dress by Roksanda. But did you spot her sweet tribute to her youngest son, Prince Louis?
Sprucing up her look, Kate opted to accessorise with a stunning £3,000 9ct gold pendant from Daniella Draper, complete with the birthstone gems for April - the very month Louis was born.

Queen Camilla visits Battersea Dogs & Cats home
Queen Camilla was all smiles on Monday afternoon as she paid a visit to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London to unveil the new RHS and BBC Radio 2 'Dog Garden'. The dog-friendly garden was designed by horticulturist Monty Don, and went on display at this year's Chelsea Flower Show.
The garden has been gifted to the charity's London centre, where it will provide a peaceful environment for rescue dogs. It features grass areas, shade-providing trees and sensory elements aimed at reducing stress.
A warm welcome
Upon arrival, Her Majesty was pictured bending down to stroke an array of rescue dogs, including a Jack Russell cross called Dipsy. As she stroked the pup, Camilla said: "I'd have taken him."
Queen Camilla has adopted several rescue dogs over the years, including Moley whom she adopted from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home back in February. She also owns a Jack Russell Terrier called Bluebell, and was a proud owner to Beth who sadly died in November last year.
Star guests
Also in attendance were an array of famous faces, including Heart Radio presenter and BGT judge, Amanda Holden, as well as model, David Gandy. For the special occasion, Amanda wore an elegant polka dot dress and white pumps, while David donned a smart suit.
Amanda has been an ambassador for the charity for 11 years.
Queen Camilla's outfit
Exuding elegance, Camilla wore a vibrant blue dress complete with long sleeves, a zip running down the front, and a pleated A-line skirt. For added glitz, she spruced up her look with a quirky dog brooch.
Touring the garden
Later on, Camilla met with Dawn Richards, Lead Horticulturalist at the RHS, and Peter Laurie, Battersea Chief Executive.
She was also seen shaking hands with TV star Monty Don - the brains behind the new garden. "It's so important to give dogs a space where they can be free to run around and smell and sniff things as they prepare for their new lives ahead," Monty said during the visit.
Camilla unveils plaque
During her visit, Camilla beamed as she unveiled a special plaque.
Her Majesty was officially announced as Battersea's Royal Patron in February 2017, though her association with the charity dates back to 2010 when she visited the London centre to open its Cattery and to commemorate Battersea's 150th anniversary.
Birthday portraits!
Crown Princess Victoria's birthday portraits are fresh in - and they're seriously wholesome. The Swedish royals were photographed at Solliden Palace on Öland - the summer residence of the Swedish royal family.
Victoria was joined by her parents Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf, her husband Prince Daniel, and their two children Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar.
