When Prince Charles married Diana in 1981, it seemed that no aspect of the fairytale wedding was left unscrutinised. But one figure behind the scenes played a central role that day.

The world was captivated by this royal wedding. But what was once described as a fairytale romance would ultimately end in heartbreak.

It has been half a century since the terrifying episode when the Royal Family quite literally dodged a bullet as a deranged kidnapper attacked on the Mall.

These royal sisters have much in common, but when it came to coming-of-age celebrations, the princesses could hardly have been more different...

The Duke of Sussex has reportedly isolated himself distancing himself from his British relationships, including those that stem back all the way to his childhood.

Charlotte, who turned nine earlier this month, may share Kate's brunette tresses, but she is the spitting image of her father, as pictures of a young Prince William reveal.

The former RAF pilot, who died 29 years ago today from stomach cancer , served King George VI from 1944 to 1952 after fighting in the Second World War.

Living well is the best revenge, or so the saying goes. For Diana, revenge took the form of an off-the-shoulder, form-fitting, black silk dress, having made its debut almost three decades ago to this day.

For all their many differences, Europe's royal families certainly seem to share a love of sports - outdoor ones in particular.

India Hicks, goddaughter of Charles and a bridesmaid at his wedding, led a relaxed life in the Bahamas with partner David. But they finally tied the knot in a 'very conventional' ceremony.
