Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence said his wife, the Princess Royal, is ‘recovering slowly’ as he left a Bristol hospital after visiting his wife.

After spending two-and-a-half hours with Princess Anne, he said ‘She’ll be out when she’s ready.’

She has been in the hospital for three nights now after falling at her property in Gloucestershire earlier this week.

The 73-year-old will miss several engagements this week, including the state banquet and an overseas tour to Canada, which was due to start this weekend.

Elsewhere, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted the Japanese Emperor and Empress’ at Buckingham Palace last night.

The banquet held at Buckingham Palace also saw Charles reference Pokémon and Hello Kitty – two of Japan’s most famous pop culture exports.

Taylor Swift’s boyfriend has said the Prince of Wales was the ‘coolest motherf*****’ after meeting the future King backstage at Wembley.

Travis Kelce added: ‘He was awesome.’

He did joke that he wasn’t sure of the royal protocol when meeting the royal – saying he wasn’t sure if he should bow, curtsy or ‘just be an American idiot and shake his hand’.

Travis’ brother, Jason, observed that Travis had never given someone that much respect, joking: ‘You put your beer, like, 10 feet away from you.

‘They were wonderful people, and that’s what it’s about. You know? Part of a monarchy, royalty. Hard to be a down to earth human being, I would assume. But came off that way completely.’

Travis added: ‘Very genuine, very cool.’

During her visit to a primary school in Chelsea today, a smiling student asked Camilla if she was the Queen.

Camilla smiled and responded: ‘That’s me.’

She was also shown a mosaic portrait of the King which was created by the children and an artist for the coronation.

She walked up to the portrait and said: ‘My goodness, that’s really good. How’s my husband?’

The three family members that can tell Princess Anne to ‘behave’

As Princess Anne continues to undergo treatment for her injury at her Gloucestershire home earlier this week, it’s been revealed what three family members are able to make her ‘behave’.

Medics who treated Anne at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary following a chest infection in 2016 recalled the Princess Royal wanted to ‘get up and go home’.

But she only listened to three people who told her to take the nurse’s advice to rest and recover.

They include her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, and her two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall.

A medical worker told the Mail: ‘The best advice is to keep her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, or one of the children on hand. They’re the only people who can tell her to behave.’

The Princess Royal is expected to be discharged from hospital soon, and was visited by her husband and daughter yesterday.

Harry and Meghan can’t visit Australia on their ‘world tour’, royal expert claims

Reports that Harry and Meghan are planning a wider ‘world tour’ after their unofficial visit to Nigeria have been slammed, with one royal expert saying the pair cannot visit Australia.

Louise Roberts told Sky News: ‘In May, after Nigeria, and that was a successful faux royal tour for them, let’s face it, Harry made the comment they want to do more of this.

‘(Harry and Meghan) are obsessed with privacy but a world tour is a direct contradiction. They can’t go where Charles and Camilla will go – they can’t go to Australia.’

The King and Queen are planning to tour Australia in October in a slimmed down visit, due to Charles’ ongoing cancer battle.

Artist who painted portrait of the late Queen portrays Prince Harry and Meghan as historic royals

An artist who was the youngest to paint a portrait of the late Queen has unveiled a series of new works, including pieces depicting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as historic royals.

Dan Llywelyn Hall was just 32 when he was commissioned by the Welsh Rugby Union to create the portrait of Elizabeth II, with the monarch sitting for him at Windsor Castle in 2012.

The artist’s royal works have since included a portrait marking William becoming a father, a live painting of the state funeral of the late Queen, and Charles’s coronation procession.

He has now produced 10 new portraits inspired by royalty throughout history for the Society of Antiquaries, with artist Adam Dant painting a further 10 works.

Two pieces by Llywelyn Hall feature contemporary royals Meghan, portrayed as Dame Elizabeth Grey, Queen of England by marriage, and Harry, depicted as Charles Edward Stuart, otherwise known as Bonnie Prince Charlie.

He said: ‘The royal family is possibly the most enthralling longest-running drama in history, the inspiration of theatre, books and every art form.

‘It seemed that these figures caught on the knife edge of public opinion were ideal for drawing comparisons from distant monarchs – like the exiled princes and princesses of the past, that lurk in the background but are still irrevocably tied to the job.

‘We can’t help ourselves and wonder whatever next?’
