Dolly Parton sent invites to Kate Middleton and her kids. Is the Royal Family headed to Dollywood?

It is a rare honor when true royalty is gracious enough to extend their hand. But Dolly Parton is a deeply gracious person, and she did just that for the next Queen of England and for her young children.

That is to say, Dolly Parton has invited Kate Middleton to bring Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to visit her theme park.

Will the royal family take her up on the invitation?

Will Kate Middleton go trick-or-treating with her three royal children?

There can be some touchiness when it comes to British royals celebrating Halloween.

Despite the holiday’s origins, modern trick-or-treating is sometimes perceived as very American.

But time, and traditions, change. Trick-or-treating could be exactly what the royal family, and Kate herself, need after what this year has been.

The public does not know everything about the royal family. Despite their function as publicly funded mascots for England and Wales, they do manage to keep some secrets. For a time, anyway.

However, one surprising piece of public knowledge is that Prince George, Princess Charlotte,...

Title changes are one of the things guaranteed for several members of the royal family. This could be due to a marriage, the death of another royal who once held a certain title, or even just something bestowed upon another family member at an appropriate time.

For example, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married they became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And when Queen Elizabeth II died, her oldest son became King Charles III. Then as the monarch, Charles bestowed the Prince and Princess of Wales titles onto his son, Prince William, and his daughter-in-law (previously known as Kate Middleton). The king later upgraded his sister-in-law, Sophie (previously the Countess of Wessex), and brother, Prince Edward’s titles to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

But what about Kate’s relatives who are closely related to Britain’s future queen like her sister, Pippa Middleton? Will she...

Catherine, Princess of Wales, (aka Kate Middleton) has revealed she was diagnosed with cancer on Friday (March 22) and has been undergoing treatment.

In a new video shared by Kensington Palace, the 42-year-old Royal mentioned that it took time to be able to explain what was going on to her three children with Prince William.

“It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be ok. As I’ve said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day,” she shared.

So, how old are the young children of Princess Catherine and Prince William?

It may be hard to imagine Prince George going by another name. But Kate Middleton reportedly had her “heart set” on another moniker for her and Prince William’s oldest son. Ahead, George’s full name and who the Prince and Princess of Wales turned to for help.

Prince George’s full name

The Prince and Princess of Wales officially became parents on July 22, 2013, with the birth of George. William and Kate welcomed their now-10-year-old son at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London, England, where on the steps of the Lindo Wing, he was introduced to the world.

William and Kate didn’t announce his name until two days later, on July 24, 2013, when they shared they’d decided to call their newborn Goerge Alexander Louis.

Then known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate noted in their official announcement their son would be formally referred to as Prince George of Cambridge.

Two of the most notorious modern royals are ready to make their television debut.

Netflix has released the first official images of Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy as college-age Prince William and Kate Middleton in “The Crown.”

The duo are set to make their debuts in the show’s sixth and final season, which is due to air later this year.

“As ‘The Crown’ enters a new decade, Prince William starts at University in St Andrew’s, determined to lead as normal a life as possible while he still can,” reads the logline for Season 6. “Also beginning life as a university student, is Kate Middleton from Berkshire. As the pair meet for the first time on campus, a new romance and a new future for ‘The Crown’ begins.”

Los Angeles, March 18 (Ians) The sixth season of ‘The Crown’, which is currently filming in St Andrews, Scotland, is set to feature Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy as college-age Prince William and Kate Middleton, respectively.

The couple met in 2001 while studying at the University of St Andrews, and photographers caught the actors filming a scene on March 17 that appeared to be a potential meet-cute, reports Variety.

William and Kate’s relationship has been followed eagerly by tabloids since they met. They were engaged in November 2010 and got married on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey. They have three children: Prince George of Wales, Princess Charlotte of Wales and Prince Louis of Wales.

It has been speculated that this season will focus on the Royal Family in the ’90s, including William’s mother Princess Diana’s death. Although it is believed they will not show the moment of the death, it will include the lead-up and aftermath.

It doesn’t look like having a close relationship with their cousins is likely for Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. An author believes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids will grow up “American through and through” while the lives of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children will seem “alien” in comparison.

Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, might be relatively close in age to their cousins, Archie, 3, and Lili, 1, but a royal author believes the closeness stops there.

According to a royal superstition, King Charles III’s coronation will foreshadow what his reign might be like. His mother, Queen Elizabeth, planned her coronation so everything would go perfectly, considering the belief that her reign would go poorly otherwise. But Charles’ coronation has already made headlines for hitting some bumps, even though it hasn’t happened yet.

Charles is preparing for his coronation and might have some cause for worry. “A British monarch’s coronation day is a joyous occasion — but it also carries a lot of pressure. If something goes wrong during the coronation ceremony, royal superstition considers it to be a bad omen for the sovereign. Any mishaps would predict an unsuccessful reign,” per Reader’s Digest.

Kate Middleton and Prince William recently attended the 2023 BAFTAs. A royal expert says the strong bond between the Prince and Princess of Wales is evident. According to him, the couple has “developed an almost telepathic connection.”

One thing that caught royal watchers’ eyes was when Kate patted Prince William on the bottom. Many were surprised she did this during a royal engagement. Body language expert Darren Stanton says this relaxed and playful interaction between Kate and William is indicative of a “true relationship.”

“One of the key moments of the evening is when Kate appeared to tap Prince William cheekily on the bottom, which was captured on camera,” says Stanton on behalf of Betfair Casino. “At the beginning of the clip, Kate looked like she went to touch William’s hand, and it was not reciprocated.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have an invite to King Charles III’s coronation. Although it doesn’t necessarily mean the father of two’s already heading down the path of reconciliation with his family.

Kate Middleton and Prince William recently attended a ceremony in honor of St. David’s Day. Kate wore an eye-catching red coat, black gloves, and a black hat. She stood out in the crowd, echoing the late Queen Elizabeth’s use of bright colors during royal engagements. Where did Kate get her red coat, and how much did it cost? Here’s what we know.

Kate and William celebrated St. David’s Day on March 1. The Prince and Princess of Wales honored the Welsh Guards during a visit to the Combermere Barracks in Windsor.

William was appointed colonel of the Welsh Guards last year, a role previously held by King Charles III. This isn’t his first appointment of this kind. In 2011, he was named colonel of the Irish Guards.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, her son, King Charles III made history. At age 73, he ascended as the head of the royal family and became the oldest monarch to take the throne. Here’s how it happened and when he’ll be coronated:

Queen Elizabeth II died on Sept. 8, 2022. Two days later, Charles, her oldest son, received the title of King of the United Kingdom.

Born in 1948 and taking the throne in 2022, Charles III set a new record for the oldest monarch to ascend the British throne, surpassing the former record held by King William IV, who took the throne at 64 in 1830.

A few of King Charles III’s predecessors also ascended in their later years.

Royals are known to be very traditional in many ways, including how they dress. It is common to see royals dress conservatively and avoid clothes that are too flashy.

Royal adults also typically do not wear shorts. Some onlookers might wonder: Are there rules forbidding them from wearing shorts in public?

Royal boys often wear shorts

One group of royals who wear shorts pretty often are the royal children — more specifically, royal boys. For example, Prince George and Prince Louis have worn shorts to many events with the family, even occasionally in the wintertime. This is simply a tradition among the British upper class.

“It’s a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts,” etiquette expert William Hanson told Harper’s Bazaar in 2018. “Trousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent class markers that we have in England.

The coronation for King Charles III is almost here. One question some people have is how much involvement the king’s grandchildren will have. Here’s everything we know so far about the May 6 event.

Future king Prince George will reportedly break a longstanding royal tradition to help honor the day when King Charles’ coronation rolls around. The event commemorates the ascension of a new monarch and head for the Church of England, even though Charles is already king.

Sources say coronation planners are still determining how much of a role, or what kind of a role, young George will take. But if their reports are accurate, he might create a new precedent for anyone second, or even first, in line to the throne to follow.

But not all their flights go smoothly. In fact, a royal commentator and a photographer shared their experience about a flight they were on when the plane entered a “hair-raising” storm.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s only daughter, Princess Charlotte, has received quite an original nickname. A royal expert claims the adorable moniker reflects her “feisty” personality. Subsequently, if her strong character trait endures, it will help the third in line to the British throne navigate a busy future as a senior member of the British royal family.

Beginning as early as age 12, Charlotte will likely be given more and more responsibility as the daughter of the future king and queen of the United Kingdom. At that age, her father, Prince William, and his brother, Prince Harry, took on more public duties.

While the Palace hasn’t confirmed details regarding Charlotte’s future as a senior royal, it would appear that she would, like her parents, have a schedule that includes many official engagements.

When it comes to traveling, Prince William and Kate Middleton must always be prepared for the unexpected. In addition to the usual essentials – like a black outfit in case of a death – the royals are also required to bring along something a bit more unusual — their own blood.

That’s right. As strange as it may sound, a former press secretary for the royal family recently revealed that the Prince and Princess of Wales are required to bring a bag of their own blood with them whenever they travel.

While it’s not something that most people would think to pack for a trip, it’s just another example of the unique challenges and responsibilities that come with being a member of the royal family.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers tells the Times:

“Bringing George in also sends all the right symbolism for the future and gives him something he will always remember. It is certainly different — this coronation is getting more interesting by the minute.”

In addition, Queen Camila’s grandchildren – the King’s step-grandchildren – will also be given prominent official roles in the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, to take place on May 6.

“The campaign is fundamentally about shining a spotlight on the critical importance of early childhood.

As the second child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte is third in the line of succession in the royal family behind her father and brother, Prince George. The 7-year-old is the first female royal that benefits from a change her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, made to the rules of succession in the 2010s. However, as Charlotte grows into her future role as a senior royal, there is one title she cannot inherit, Princess Royal, until this unfortunate event occurs.

Prince Harry and Princess Margaret friends? It’s what the Duke of Sussex thought should’ve happened because, as he shared in Spare, they’d had “so much in common.” Ahead, what Harry knew about Queen Elizabeth II’s younger sister (spoiler: not much) and why he thought of her before proposing to Meghan Markle.

Harry might’ve spent holidays with her and the rest of the British royal family, but the now-38-year-old admittedly didn’t know his great-aunt, the Countess of Snowdon, well.

“I didn’t know Princess Margaret, whom I called Aunt Margo,” Harry wrote in Spare (via Town & Country). “She was my great-aunt, yes, we shared 12.5 percent of our DNA, we spent the bigger holidays together, and yet she was almost a total stranger.

Kate Middleton acknowledges that it’s “tough” raising children these days.

The Princess of Wales, who launched her new campaign Shaping Us this week, discussed mental wellness and the importance of supporting children in their early years while speaking to U.K. radio host Roman Kemp.

Kates shares Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, with her husband, Prince William.

Kemp, who regularly speaks about the importance of raising awareness of mental health, points out in a recently-released video, “All you have to do is look around, especially, you know, at the country, and see people are not just struggling with raising kids, they’re struggling with just putting a roof above their heads, to be able to heat their house. So, all of those things can come into play.”

Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) have always said that they want to give their three children “normal childhoods.” They also understand that’s a tall task given they are members of Britain’s most famous family. But William and his wife have spoken over the years about little things they have done to try and build some normalcy for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Body language expert Judi James provided her analysis to Express, explaining how the Monaco royals present a “family team” while William and Kate ration their children’s appearances.

“Prince Albert grew up with a semi-celebrity lifestyle thanks to his US film star mother and his two beautiful sisters who both had profiles as socialites as well as royals,” James said.

“Thanks to this and possibly also thanks to his own wife’s illness that caused a long separation during the pandemic, he and Charlene appear to prefer to present themselves as a...
