Style queen

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was a vision as she attended the reopening of the renovated Scheveningen boulevard in The Hague.

We're loving this gorgeous forest green ensemble from the royal, complete with a chic hat and teardrop-shaped emerald earrings for an extra touch of glamour.

Maxima has long been one of the most stylish European royals, and her recent outing certainly proves it!

Making an impression

It was lovely to see Queen Camilla in her element during the Royal Maundy Service. King Charles' wife was greeted by well-wishers and presented with flowers - and she couldn't keep the smile off her face.

Why Prince Philip’s battle with pancreatic cancer was kept a secret

Details of Prince Philip's secret battle with pancreatic cancer have been revealed for the first time nearly five years after his death. 

The revelation was made in Hugo Vickers' new book, Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History, with the author revealing exclusive details on HELLO!'s A Right Royal Podcast this week. 

Speaking to our royal editor, Emily Nash, the biographer also revealed why details of the then-Duke of Edinburgh's illness were "covered up" for so long.

What Kate's stylist did next...

Natasha Archer's personal website is now open! The Princess of Wales's personal assistant stepped down in July 2025 after 15 years working for the royal household, and her next move has finally been confirmed. 

Her website reads: "With nearly two decades of private household experience, our consultancy shapes the detail behind impeccable appearances.

"We operate at the intersection of image, influence and privacy, curating presence for those who understand that true distinction is seen, but never exposed."

Prince Harry was pictured dining at Charleston in Baltimore this week. The Duke of Sussex posed with Chef Cindy Wolf at her award-winning fine dining restaurant in the city's Harbor East.

The chef couldn't have been prouder to host royalty, telling HELLO!: "It was a great moment in my life as a chef."

Let's get quizzical

The royals are not just your generic cat and dog owners – far from it. Royal history is packed with a wide menagerie of weird and wonderful pets (a pygmy hippo, anyone?) though none so iconic as the beloved Windsor corgis.

From chameleons to corgis, test your knowledge of royal pets and then see how your performance compares to other readers in our fun new game!

Over and out

Team HELLO! is signing off for Easter! We're excited to eat as much chocolate as humanly possible and will be back on Easter Sunday, reporting live as King Charles and Queen Camilla lead the royal family at church.

While we're not expecting Beatrice and Eugenie to attend, we're crossing our fingers that the Wales family will be putting in an appearance.

Happy Easter!
