Last night, Princess Catherine was spotted arriving at an upscale restaurant in central London, joined by a group of close friends. A passerby caught a glimpse of the princess as she approached her car, exuding grace in a soft lilac midi dress. The light, flowing fabric and short-sleeved, refined design highlighted her signature understated elegance, complemented by classic nude high heels. Though brief, this rare public appearance outside official duties sparked a flurry of excitement online.
On Friday evening, Catherine treated Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to a magical visit to a film set, where they met the cast, including 11-year-old Dominic McLaclin, who plays a young wizard Harry. The young royals, avid fans of the Harry Potter series, watched scenes being filmed, and Prince Louis, aged seven, enjoyed a special ride on the Hogwarts Express along a half-mile track set up in woodland near the Waleses’ new home. An on-set source described the experience as “truly special,” noting the family’s meeting with young actors and the director during a single night of filming.
In 2017, Queen Camilla shared that King Charles often read Harry Potter books to his grandchildren, including Prince George, now 14, and Princess Charlotte, now 10, during family time in Scotland, a tradition that underscores the royals’ love for the series.
Meanwhile, Prince William and Princess Catherine are preparing to relocate from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, a £16 million Georgian manor spanning 655 acres near Windsor Castle. The move, motivated by a desire for more space to raise their children during Catherine’s ongoing cancer recovery, promises seclusion with its nine bedrooms and walled gardens. However, the transition has stirred local discontent due to heightened security measures, which some feel disrupt the balance of public access to Windsor Great Park, a historic estate since Henry VIII’s time. For the Waleses, Forest Lodge offers a private sanctuary, shielding their family life from the paparazzi’s gaze.
