Best of HELLO! royal coverage today
Prince William's 'spontaneous' photo with children and more...
Hi Royal Clubbers, it’s Iona here.
First up, here’s the best of the royal coverage over on HELLO! today.

And the winner is…
Yesterday I asked if you would include nuts in your brownie recipes. Many went against Prince William's nut-free recipe as 62 per cent of you said you would include nuts!
I’m now tempted to try baking a nutty brownie at the weekend to see if they do taste better... I’ll report back with my findings (as you can probably tell, I enjoy this type of royal news – and I always love a food poll in my daily newsletter).
Poll of the day
As you will have read, Prince William’s photographer shared some behind-the-scenes insight from a fun family snap with the royal children.
It got me thinking if I’ve ever taken photos of any royals?! After racking my brains, the answer is sadly no – which is somewhat disappointing given I grew up in Windsor (King Charles appears not to do his own shopping in Waitrose). This being said, I do appear in a photo with a royal.
When I was a Brownie (probably around 2007), I met Prince Philip when he came to open our town hall. I was selected to hold a flag and stand at the front next to him. It’s actually a really sweet photo – I was about eight and he was one of the first ‘celebrities’ I met.
I’ve tried to locate it and will include it in tomorrow’s newsletter if I manage to track it down!
In the meantime, today’s poll…
I’m keen to know – have any of you ever snapped a photo of a royal? Let me know, I love hearing your stories!
Picture of the day
Prince Harry began his engagements today with a visit to the Centre for Blast Injury Studies in White City, London. He met with former Army captain David Henson, who previously captained the British team at the Invictus Games.
I don’t know about you but it’s quite bizarre seeing Harry back in London on official engagements – I’m more used to seeing him appear in a Netflix show instead! He almost seems to live two lives: carrying out official duties here, then returning to his relaxed Californian lifestyle.
One must give him credit for managing both – it must be nice to return to the Montecito sunshine…
Wednesday’s puzzles
See you tomorrow, Royal Clubbers!

WATCH: I interviewed Prince Harry last night – here are my three takeaways
I do enjoy taking photos I mainly use my phone but I do have quite expensive camera it does quite a lot of things and I have used it before although it’s cumbersome I should use it more really.
I have about 19,874 photos on my apple iPhone that’s quite a lot of photos.
Of course Harry is doing exactly what the Queen and his father and brother objected to: being a half in, half out Royal. He is participating on his own terms, not taking on the real burdens of being a working royal.
