Royal family recap: Princess Beatrice makes surprise appearance, preparations for Prince George's future, more

Good morning, royal fans, and happy Tuesday!

It's a big day today with the news that our Lioness champions are set for an exciting victory parade in central London following their historic Euros 2025 win. The special Homecoming event will begin with an open-top bus procession along The Mall, followed by a live celebration stage event in front of Buckingham Palace.

Sadly, no royals will be in attendance, but we're sure some might be watching from home!

Otherwise, it's fairly quiet engagement-wise. 

Princess Anne – our hardworking queen! – is set for a number of outings. 

Kicking things off, the Princess Royal, as Vice Patron of the British Horse Society, will visit Stable Mates Plus and the Aintree Equestrian Centre, Liverpool. She will later attend a 350th Anniversary Visit to Morning Foods Limited in Crewe, Cheshire, before heading to H J Lea Oakes Limited, Malpas.

Watch this space…

Speaking of Princess Anne, did you know that her and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, live at Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire?

The Grade II-listed property is kitted out with all the amenities one could possibly need – including a games room, a brand-new kitchen and a "party barn". 

See here for the full lowdown on the amazing estate.

People have started to line the parade route along The Mall near Buckingham Palace ahead of the Lionesses' victory celebration. 

The ceremony, which will be hosted by former England player Alex Scott, is set to kick off at 12.10pm BST. 

The hour-long special will be aired on BBC, ITV, Sky and YouTube live – so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for any royal appearances… even if they're spotted through a crack in one of the windows! 👀

Charles Spencer, the younger brother to the late Princess Diana, shared a throwback picture of his sister this morning. The heartfelt tribute comes on what would have been Diana's 44th wedding anniversary to King Charles.

Take a look at the sweet snaps here. 

It's time!

The England bus is making its way down The Mall – following in the footsteps of countless Trooping the Colour parades, Coronation processions, Jubilee celebrations and State Openings of Parliament.

Thousands are lining the iconic route, cheering on the pioneering women who have defended their Euros title and inspired the nation. 

The players made their way on stage, where Captain Leah Williamson told fans: "I've been crying all the way down The Mall."

"This is a special one for us. We came together. Nasty things to deal with and still we rise," she said. 

Manager Sarina Wiegman added: "The bonding in this team in this tournament, everyone was ready to step up and support each other. It was amazing to be part of."

England has lifted the Euros trophy! Captain Leah Williamson held it up alongside her teammates as fireworks were set off behind them. 

'One More Time ' by Daft Punk played through the speakers as the team celebrated and danced on stage. Next, 'Sweet Caroline' was played as the crowd cheered on and waved England flags. 

The Lionesses celebrated their Euros win with an open-top bus parade in London, where thousands of cheering fans gathered to congratulate them on their big win. 

Some memorable moments from the parade include manager Sarina Wiegman dancing on stage with singer Burna Boy as he performed 'For My Hand'.

Meanwhile, Lucy Bronze admitted she "doesn't remember" the celebration party after winning the Euros. When asked how the party was, she simply said: "Don't remember."

A more touching moment saw Captain Leah Williamson holding back tears as she gave an emotional speech on stage. "I'm holding back tears. I've been crying all down The Mall," said the Arsenal defender.

"There are many ways to win a football match. And we always chose the tough one."

She added: "Everything we do, obviously, we do it for us and our team, but we do it for the country, for the young girls. This job never existed 30-40 years ago and we're making history every single step."

Finally, Princess Beatrice made an appearance at the parade and was spotted in the crowd with her husband Edoardo Mozzi, their two children, Sienna and Athena, and Edo's son from a previous relationship, Christopher.

Everyone knows the traditional rhyme told to a bride on her wedding day: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue… 

But the extraordinary tiara worn by Zara Tindall when she tied the knot with her husband, Mike Tindall, is something old and borrowed. 

Ahead of the couple's 14th wedding anniversary tomorrow, we spoke to a fine jewellery and diamond expert to find out just how unique the piece worn by Princess Anne's daughter is.

Prince George turned 12 earlier this month, and as he steps more into the spotlight, with recent appearances at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, the young Prince is gently being prepared for the future. 

One of the biggest signs of this came during the commemorations for VE Day, when he joined his parents and the King and Queen at a tea party for veterans held at Buckingham Palace in May.

He listened intently and asked plenty of questions, leading one D-Day veteran, Alfred Littlefield, to tell Prince William: "You should be very proud."

A source who was present tells HELLO!: "George was the star of the room. He was engrossed in conversation with many of the veterans, who were delighted to speak to him as well. He was enjoying it, hearing about guns and submarines and tanks."

Princess Isabella is following in her mother Queen Mary's sartorial choices! This week, the Danish royals relocated to their summer residence, and Princess Isabella, 18, and Prince Vincent made a surprise appearance as they arrived in Gråsten Palace.

For the special outing, Princess Isabella looked pretty in a floral print wrap dress by Diane von Furstenberg and an iconic pair of shoes – a pair of £820 Chanel lambskin ballet flats in beige with a black toe cap, which her mother has previously worn. Take a look here. 

Among the 65,000 that lined the streets of London to celebrate the Lionesses  becoming European Champions, were not King Charles and Prince William, despite celebrations taking place in front of Buckingham Palace, and Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, along with their daughters, Sienna, three, and six-month-old Athena, and Edoardo's nine-year-old son, Wolfie, attending.

Here is what we know about their absence...
