Royal family LIVE: Prince William and Kate’s invite Down Under, divisive home security and more

The Duchess of Edinburgh was pictured in London’s Notting Hill, after viewing the new Penelope Chilvers’ footwear collection. 

She looked business-chic in a brown tweed suit, knitwear and boots. 

The royals are huge fans of the designer, with the Princess of Wales having owned her pair of tasselled boots since her uni days.

Security measures put in place ahead of Prince William and Kate’s move into their new home, Forest Lodge, have upset locals in Windsor. 

Perimeter fencing, landscaping and CCTV have all been installed around the property, but it’s also resulted in the closure of a car park and gate access to some of Windsor Great Park.

The area covers around 150 acres and has a 2.3-mile perimeter which is set to be signposted warning people not to enter. Trespassers on the land will face arrest under the Home Office plans.

A three-day event, the festival is a celebration of literature and was established in collaboration with The Queen’s Reading Room. Now in its third year, the festival aims to bring together novelists, historians, artists, and actors for a weekend of celebrating written and spoken word.
