A Christmas sweater. A case of pink eye. A Hallmark movie set.
That's how Descendants: Wicked Wonderland star Malia Baker says her Hollywood career began. At 11, the Vancouver native snuck onto a set and walked away with her first acting credit.
Yahoo's kid correspondent, Gigi — yes, my daughter — is 11 now. She's the one interviewing Baker about her unlikely origin story and how she went from set crasher to a Disney princess who's currently starring in the fifth Descendants movie. Now airing on Disney Channel and streaming on Disney+, the film reveals a darker side of Baker's character, Chloe Charming, the daughter of Cinderella. Can you say evil Chloe?
Speaking to Gigi, the 19-year-old actor, also known for Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club, answers the kinds of questions only a preteen may ask. For instance: What's the name of the Descendants text chat? Does she have any squishies? What are the names of her pets?
Before long, though, the conversation turns to growing up — pursuing dreams, finding your people and the advice Baker wishes she'd gotten before starting middle school. Take it away, Gigi …

Japan's imperial family just returned to Tokyo after a few days at the Nasu Imperial Villa, one of the historic royal residences and a regular summer retreat. During one of their traditional outings, a visit to the area's popular animal park that the emperor and empress make almost every summer, one of the country's tabloids caught the photos everyone's now talking about. Princess Aiko, the only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, was joined by a childhood friend she's clearly at ease around.
Meet the mysterious "H," the young man who belongs to the imperial family's inner circle.
Princess Aiko's future remains uncertain: she may keep her imperial status after marriage, but she still has no path to the throne. (Anadolu via Getty Images)
The photos ran in the weekly magazine Josei Jishin, published by Kobunsha and aimed at "working single women." It occupies a unique spot in **** an's media landscape: while the mainstream press avoids any hint of speculation, repeating whatever line the Imperial Household Agency hands down, Jishin has built its reputation on digging up details that never make it into official channels. This is the same outlet that broke the story of Princess Mako's romance with Kei Komuro, and now it's running these photos of the emperor's only child without, deliberately, reading anything romantic into them.
The photos show Aiko and H chatting during a family outing, in a relaxed, protocol-free setting.

Princess Diana got pregnant less than four months after her 1981 wedding to then-Prince Charles — and quickly became torn between her royal duty and debilitating morning sickness.
"With [Prince] William it was appalling, almost every time I stood up I was sick," she told Andrew Morton for his book, Diana: Her True Story — In Her Own Words, adding that she was "made to feel it was a nuisance" when she got sick during formal events, but felt obligated to attend anyway.
"There was only ever one cancellation when I was carrying William, the visit to the Duchy of Cornwall's estate," she continued, according to the book, which was released in 2017. "And I was made to feel so guilty by my husband for that."
The pressure came to a head in early 1982 while they were staying at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England. "Charles said I was crying wolf and I said I felt so desperate and I was crying my eyes out and he said: 'I'm not going to listen. You're always doing this to me. I'm going riding now,'" Diana recounted. "So I threw myself down the stairs. The Queen comes out, absolutely horrified, shaking – she was so frightened."
"I knew I wasn't going to lose the baby; quite bruised around the stomach," she added. And according to The Telegraph, the royal gynecologist, Sir George Pinker, was summoned to her side and found that the baby was uninjured.

A Grade II-listed house in Windsor Great Park, Royal Lodge served as a childhood country retreat for the late Queen Elizabeth. For Her Majesty, the Georgian-style estate, which boasts 30 rooms, a swimming pool, chapel, and several cottages, held many childhood memories, and to this day, Y Bwthyn Bach – the two-storey thatched playhouse gifted to Elizabeth in 1932 – stands on its 98 acres of land.
The Royal Lodge was a childhood country retreat for Queen Elizabeth II (left) and Princess Margaret (right) (Getty)
While the late Queen spent her final years at Windsor Castle, and of course, her beloved Balmoral Castle, Royal Lodge remained in use, and from 2004 to 2026, was the home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The property has remained empty ever since King Charles' disgraced brother was evicted from his home of 24 years in February following a string of scandals, including concern over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Following his arrest on 19 February, Andrew, 66, is facing allegations of misconduct in public office, with police investigating claims that he shared confidential information during his appointment as the UK's trade envoy.

Lady Diana Spencer and then-Prince (now King) Charles' 1981 wedding was nothing short of a spectacle. One that, even today, remains among the most talked-about weddings of all time.
The pair first met in 1977, when she was 16 and he was 29. In 1980, the Prince of Wales began courting the nursery school ****** istant, and by February 1981, Charles had proposed and the two were headed down the aisle.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles wed in an extravagant ceremony held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on July 29, 1981. With Diana being the first British woman to marry an heir to the throne in 300 years, the palace spared no expense, declaring the special day a public holiday and doling out a jaw-dropping $48 million, according to Smithsonian magazine.
About 3,500 people attended the ceremony, while more than 600,000 people lined the streets and 7.5 million more tuned in at home to watch the nuptials.
The pair welcomed sons William and Harry in 1982 and 1984, but the former Prince and Princess of Wales' marriage was famously tumultuous. In his authorized biography, The Prince of Wales, published in 1994, Charles confirmed he began his affair with former flame Camilla Parker Bowles in 1986. Ex-army Major James Hewitt also claimed to have begun an affair with Diana around this time, which he said lasted for the next five years.

A Christmas sweater. A case of pink eye. A Hallmark movie set.
That's how Descendants: Wicked Wonderland star Malia Baker says her Hollywood career began. At 11, the Vancouver native snuck onto a set and walked away with her first acting credit.
Yahoo's kid correspondent, Gigi — yes, my daughter — is 11 now. She's the one interviewing Baker about her unlikely origin story and how she went from set crasher to a Disney princess who's currently starring in the fifth Descendants movie. Now airing on Disney Channel and streaming on Disney+, the film reveals a darker side of Baker's character, Chloe Charming, the daughter of Cinderella. Can you say evil Chloe?
Speaking to Gigi, the 19-year-old actor, also known for Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club, answers the kinds of questions only a preteen may ask. For instance: What's the name of the Descendants text chat? Does she have any squishies? What are the names of her pets?
Before long, though, the conversation turns to growing up — pursuing dreams, finding your people and the advice Baker wishes she'd gotten before starting middle school. Take it away, Gigi …

King Charles was reportedly shocked by Meghan Markle's Princess Diana Instagram post. Interestingly, this comes after the Sussexes met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarch's Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire. For those unversed, Markle shared photos of Harry and their children visiting Diana's final resting place at Althorp, the Spencer family estate.
Reports claim that Meghan Markle's Instagram tribute to Princess Diana took King Charles aback. As per Rob Shuter, royal insiders dished: "This has upset people who normally defend Meghan." One source reportedly added that "the backlash isn't just coming from her critics anymore."
Reports claim that the decision of his younger daughter-in-law to showcase such a private moment on social media for the world to see "genuinely shocked" Charles.
The palace source shared: "The family has always treated Diana's grave as a place of quiet reflection. If she took the photo there, many believe she should never have posted it on social media."
Another royal source echoed the previous source's sentiments, stating: "Even people who usually refuse to comment on Harry and Meghan are wincing. The feeling is that some family moments are simply too sacred to share."

Prince Harry reportedly wants his and wife Meghan Markle's children to spend more time with their grandfather, King Charles III, following their recent reunion.
The Spare author, 41, and the 44 year-old With Love, Meghan host's kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, traveled to the U.K. earlier this month and reunited with the sovereign, 77.
"Getting the kids back together with Charles is absolutely top of Harry's agenda right now, it's practically all he can talk about," the source tells Examiner. "He has his heart set on bringing them back for Christmas but he'd love to fit in a trip before then, too, if they can find a window in everyone's schedules."

However, the source says while the As Ever founder is "all for him being positive and trying to rebuild things with Charles," she doesn't want it to come "at the expense of their own sanity."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their two children, Archie and Lilibet, to visit the childhood home of the Duke of Sussex's late mother, Princess Diana, during their recent European vacation, it has been revealed.
Meghan, 44, shared several photos from the family's recent trip overseas on her Instagram account, including one image that show her daughter, Lilibet, 5, walking through the grounds of Princess Diana's family estate, Althorp, holding what appears to be a tiny handbag and a blanket.

Another snap appears to show Meghan reclining on a sun lounger next to the pool at the estate, cuddling the family's Beagle, Mamma Mia, who is thought to have traveled to Europe with them. Spencer's new wife, Cat Jarman, is seen in the background, along with her husband.
It's understood that the family were invited to the property by Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, who still owns the estate and resides there with his new wife. According to People magazine, the Sussexes "may have visited Diana's burial site, which is located on an island in the middle of the estate's Oval Lake."

A simple comment from a royal fan left King Charles smiling during a recent public appearance. While greeting well-wishers, the monarch was told he looked just like his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. His brief, one-word reply quickly caught people's attention online. Since then, many have shared their own thoughts on the resemblance between Charles and the late queen.
King Charles shared a touching moment with a royal fan while attending the RHS Sandringham Flower Show on July 22. The monarch was making his way through the crowd, stopping to shake hands and greet well-wishers, when one admirer made a heartfelt observation.
"You look so much like your mum," the fan told Charles, referring to Queen Elizabeth II. According to ***** O! Magazine's video, the king paused before quietly replying, "Really?" While it was a short response, it appeared to reflect his appreciation for the compliment. The interaction, which was captured on camera, quickly began circulating online.
The exchange also reminded many royal watchers of the similarities between Charles and his late mother. Over the years, the king has often been compared to other members of the royal family. Prince William is one name that frequently comes up. On other occasions, some have also drawn comparisons to the late King Edward VII. However, many believe Charles most closely resembles Queen Elizabeth II.
Meanwhile, another comparison also surfaced online. Beneath ***** O!'s Instagram video of the interaction, one user claimed Charles bears a striking resemblance to Princess Victoria of Hesse, his paternal great-grandmother from Prince Philip's side of the family. While that remains the opinion of one commenter, it added to the discussion surrounding the king's appearance.

Prince William is one name that frequently comes up. On other occasions, some have also drawn comparisons to the late King Edward VII. However, many believe Charles most closely resembles Queen Elizabeth II.
Meanwhile, another comparison also surfaced online. Beneath ***** O!'s Instagram video of the interaction, one user claimed Charles bears a striking resemblance to Princess Victoria of Hesse, his paternal great-grandmother from Prince Philip's side of the family. While that remains the opinion of one commenter, it added to the discussion surrounding the king's appearance.

While greeting well-wishers, the monarch was told he looked just like his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II. His brief, one-word reply quickly caught people's attention online. Since then, many have shared their own thoughts on the resemblance between Charles and the late queen.
King Charles shared a touching moment with a royal fan while attending the RHS Sandringham Flower Show on July 22. The monarch was making his way through the crowd, stopping to shake hands and greet well-wishers, when one admirer made a heartfelt observation.
"You look so much like your mum," the fan told Charles, referring to Queen Elizabeth II. According to ****** O! Magazine's video, the king paused before quietly replying, "Really?" While it was a short response, it appeared to reflect his appreciation for the compliment. The interaction, which was captured on camera, quickly began circulating online.

Rules are to Wimbledon like lipsticks are to a cosmetics shop: There are lots. After the distracting champagne corks that kept popping through the 2025 final match between Jannick Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, with one landing at Sinner's feet before he was about to serve, we expect a possible ban on mid-match cork popping to come into effect one of these days.
Then, of course, there are the rules of the game, but the rules that we find most interesting are the fashion ones. For example, players at Wimbledon have to wear all-white outfits (except for women, who can wear dark undershorts beneath their skirts). While there aren't technically guidelines for guests' outfits other than a ban on bold logos and political slogans, it's well-known that you should look pulled together if you're attending a match.
Ah, but there is an exception, and that's for those sitting in the royal box, who need to adhere to the tennis club's rules of dresses or skirts for women and suits and ties for men. NB: Though it's not fashion protocol, there is also a rule that states children aren't allowed in the royal box on centre court. The exception? The royal offspring, naturally, back during the 2025 final, that meant that Prince George and Princess Charlotte sat alongside their parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales. Folks immediately noticed something interesting about Charlotte's look, though: her nail polish, which didn't seem to carry on one specific royal tradition.

For some, polished summer dressing can feel like a challenge. Elements that are too simple can lead an outfit to look overly casual, but add too many bells and whistles and the look can seem forced and overdressed. When looking for summer outfit inspiration that threads the needle effortlessly, no one does it quite like Queen Letizia of Spain, who showed off her prowess for the "just enough, not too much" seasonal outfit at an audience at the Zarzuela Palace.
Welcoming the team behind the documentary Los Nietos del Silencio, the queen opted once again to shop her own closet, rewearing a navy and white dress from Antik Batik. The tiered maxi featured a nigh crew neckline to balance the sleeveless style, with wavy embroidery white accents and white embroidery at the shoulders. Letizia previously wore the style last year when she attended a symposium on women in sports.

To complete her look, Letzia paired the dress with one of her go-to shoe styles, the wedge espadrille. In fact, her name was all over this moderate-heeled navy and white pair—the style, by Picon, is actually named the "Letizia." As per her usual style, Letizia wore her hair in loose waves, and capped things off with a pair of understated gold earrings by Spanish jeweler Isabel Guarch.
The Spanish queen is well-known for rewearing some of her favorite looks, as she displayed today. Just last week, she chose a white, patterned Hugo Boss dress for an event for the Princess of Girona Foundation that she had previously worn out and about twice before. She even decided on a rewear for Spain's Wold Cup-winning match over the weekend, donning a bold red Adolfo Dominguez dress that she first wore last fall.

"Pink is simply my color," she told Belgian outlet HLN
Delphine added, "It is absolutely not my intention to steal the spotlight or take it away from someone else"
Princess Delphine of Belgium is defending her eyebrow-raising outfit for the National Day celebrations.
Delphine, 58, joined the rest of the Belgians royal family for a parade celebrating the holiday on July 21, where she made a statement in a bold pink outfit.

Royal reporter Wim Dehandschutter said on social media that the outfit was "love" themed and the dramatic neckline was intended to create a heart shape.

Prince George, heir to the British throne and first child of Prince William and Princess Catherine, is officially a teenager.
The prince's 13th birthday is on July 22. As they do each year, the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a new birthday portrait of George for this birthday. The photo was taken by Matt Porteous at Kensington Palace after last month's Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Earlier this year, similar photos were posted to celebrate Prince Louis' eighth birthday in April and Princess Charlotte's 11th birthday in May.
There was also a birthday video for George posted by the prince's parents:

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have to change the way they handle royal matters. As per a source, working as a united front is no longer helping their efforts to repair family ties. The claim follows the couple's recent private visit to the United Kingdom, which has fueled fresh speculation about reconciliation behind palace doors. Insiders now allege Harry thinks a different approach is needed if they want to keep rebuilding trust with the royal family.
Reports suggest Prince Harry believes he and Meghan Markle may need to step away from their usual way of doing things. The couple has long stood together through public criticism and royal disputes. However, an insider now claims that approach could make reconciliation more difficult.
The alleged shift comes after the Sussexes' recent private trip to the U.K. Harry and Markle were understood to be joined by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for a family reunion that was kept out of the spotlight. No official photographs were released, and Markle's social media also remained unusually quiet.
According to a source who spoke with Closer Online, that was no coincidence. The insider claimed Harry wants to show he can respect his father's wishes by keeping family matters private. He is also reportedly trying to avoid the kind of public attention that previously strained relations with the royal family.
Still, that has allegedly created a difficult situation at home. "Harry is in a very awkward position because he's now got to find a way to abide by his father's wishes without completely sacrificing his own values or making his wife feel like she's not being heard," the source claimed.

Prince William is reportedly open to having a reunion with his brother, Prince Harry, but there is a condition. Harry was in the UK recently on a trip related to the Invictus Games. While he and his wife Meghan Markle, along with their kids, met King Charles in private, a reunion between him and William didn't happen.
According to a report by Woman's Day, Prince William is ready to meet Prince Harry, but only on a strict condition. Sources suggest that the Prince of Wales wants a legal contract before he meets his brother.
Prince William and Harry have been on bad terms for a long time. On his recent trip to the UK, Harry had a chance to meet with King Charles during a private meeting that involved his wife, Meghan Markle, and their kids, Archie and Lilibet. This was the first time in four years that the King met with his grandchildren.
While referring to William's potential plans to meet with Harry, a source told the outlet, "Harry might have charmed his way with his father, but it's going to take a lot more than a few feeble gestures to convince William to give him another chance." They stated that William and his wife, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, still feel the "hurt and humiliation" from the public attacks Harry and Markle have made on the monarchy. The relationship between the two brothers was hit hard following Harry and Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey and the former's memoir.
A source further stated, "William says a legally binding contract is the only language the Sussexes will understand." His reported proposed contract states that Harry and Markle would not make any public attacks on the Royal Family. It also conveys that the couple must adhere to boundaries when using their Royal ******* les for their brands. William allegedly wants Harry and Markle to stop mentioning the members of the Royal Family in public.

Queen Elizabeth II was inseparable from her beloved corgis, and her cherished pet pooches even travelled by helicopter if required to accompany Her Majesty wherever she went. It was no secret that she spoiled the pets, treating them to chef-prepared meals and having their sheets inside their baskets changed daily, but Prince Harry has revealed another way they lived the high life…
In his memoir, Spare, the Duke of Sussex revealed that the dogs would happily join the Queen in her private lift up to her bedroom on a nightly basis. He wrote: "In the heart of this main chamber was the grand staircase. Sweeping, dramatic, seldom used. Whenever Granny headed up to her bedroom on the second floor, corgis at her heels, she preferred the lift. The corgis preferred it too."
The Queen owned more than 30 corgis in her lifetime and at any given point, she had up to ten! Princess Diana is said to have said the gathering of dogs around her feet was like "a moving carpet".
After the Queen died in 2022, her pets were bestowed to her son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. They were given to them for a very specific reason, because it was their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who originally purchased the dogs. The princesses reportedly gifted their grandmother with Muick and Sandy to distract her from the stress of her husband, Prince Philip's, hospital stay in 2021.
After taking on the dogs, Sarah revealed that she felt they had psychic powers. "I have her dogs. I have her corgis. So every morning they come in and go, you know 'woof woof' and all that. I'm sure it's her talking to me."

Diana, the former Princess of Wales, is a name known the world over. The royal, who was dubbed 'The People's Princess', was much-loved across the globe and adoration for her has continued long after her death in 1997. However, it came to light in Prince Harry's deeply personal memoir, Spare, that he never liked his mother's royal **** le of princess - and here's why
Within the book he penned: "Although my mother was a princess, named after a goddess, both those terms always felt weak, inadequate. People routinely compared her to icons and saints, from Nelson Mandela to Mother Teresa to Joan of Arc, but every such comparison, while lofty and loving, also felt wide of the mark. The most recognizable woman on the planet, one of the most beloved, my mother was simply indescribable, that was the plain truth."
Princess Diana certainly left a legacy as a humanitarian force, with iconic moments such as shaking the hand of a patient with HIV at London Middlesex hospital in 1987 to help end the stigma around the disease and walking through an active minefield in Huambo, Angola, to make a stand against landmines.
Despite many young girls dreaming of being a princess one day, with tales of dreamy weddings and fancy jewels, it turns out that the reality can be a little different, and Princess Diana often spoke about her struggles with being part of the monarchy.
"I felt that my personality was taken away from me, and I was taken over by the royal machine."

Queen Elizabeth II was a proud grandmother and great-grandmother, and she often spoke affectionately about her great-grandchildren, including the Prince and Princess of Wales's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Her Late Majesty shared an insight into the bond between George and Charlotte during a church service in Sandringham in January 2018.
Speaking to Ellen Clay at the time, who watched her daughter Emily, then ten, receive a Bible from the monarch, she asked her if she "looked after" her little sister, to which Ellen responded that it was the "other way around". The late Queen replied: "It's like that with Charlotte and George."
Following her royal encounter, Ellen said at the time: "She asked if Emily looked after Hadleigh and I said it was more the other way round. She said it was like that with Princess Charlotte and Prince George," while her husband Tom added: "The Queen was implying that Charlotte keeps an eye out for George rather than the other way around. It is often the case that a younger child is more confident. It is second child syndrome."
The late Queen's comments echoed a comment made by the then ***** ss of Cambridge in March 2017 as she and Prince William attended the unveiling of a war memorial commemorating the men and women who had served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, in London.
