The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined members of the royal family on the 2026 edition of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, but chose a different style to make an entry.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were in attendance along with Princess Anne to watch the world-famous horticultural show on Monday. They all arrived in their usual vehicles, but in a footage shared by the King’s Guards, it was revealed that Sophie and Edward chose a white van instead.

While the exact reason for the choice was not explained, but it was considered an unusual choice by the couple. Some suggested that it is possible that Sophie and Edward brought a van because they were planning on bringing back some plants home.

It would not be a far-fetched thought as Sophie in particular appeared in her element for the show. Dressed in a pastel pink ensemble, the royal was seen carrying her Plants for Pollinators guide, suggesting that she may be looking to pick out some new additions for her garden.

This year, she had also joined forced with Alan Williams of Landform Consultants to design her first garden, which the Royal Family said will “sit at the heart of the Royal Windsor Flower Show” for 2026.

Sophie previously shared that she was “slightly nerve-wracked” about her display but shared that a lot of thought has gone into the design, particularly to be friendly to a range of pollinating insects and not just bees.

Jennifer Lopez has gushed over the new Prime Video series Off Campus after lead actress Mika Abdalla channelled the pop star’s most iconic fashion moment on screen. 

The romance show became an overnight hit following its debut on Wednesday, 13 May, with its steamiest scenes quickly going viral across social media. 

One particular clip that caught the eye of the 56-year-old global superstar features Abdalla’s character, Allie Hayes, recreating Lopez’s famous plunging green Versace jungle dress from the 2000 Grammys, prompting Lopez to repost the footage on X with the enthusiastic caption, “love this shooooww.”

The high-fashion moment takes place early in the series when Allie crosses paths with hockey player Dean Di Laurentis, played by Stephen Kalyn, at a Halloween party. 

The legendary dress itself has quite a history in the fashion world, having first been modelled by Amber Valletta during Versace’s Spring/Summer 2000 runway show in 1999, before Lopez famously made it a cultural phenomenon at the Grammy Awards and later wore a reimagined version on the runway in 2019.

Abdalla, 26, recently took to TikTok to share the intense behind-the-scenes process required to bring the iconic outfit to life for the show.

Speaking in a clip shared by Betches UK, the actress revealed that the garment had to be built entirely from scratch, a process that required five separate fittings. 

She recalled how her very first session involved putting on a nude leotard so the team could cut it up and pin the material directly to her, adding that she was so heavily taped into the finished product that she felt completely ready to dance the night away.

The actress also admitted that her own intuition told her the scene would be a massive talking point for fans, despite the fact that the Halloween storyline does not actually appear in Elle Kennedy’s original book series.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Abdalla explained that as they got closer to finishing the dress and she saw how it looked on camera during filming, she knew it was going to be a hit with the audience. 

The popular new Prime Video adaptation is based on the five-book Off Campus franchise, which predominantly follows the complicated love lives of various hockey players at the fictional Briar University.

Tom Kane, the legendary voice actor famous for his iconic roles in Star Wars and The Powerpuff Girls, has died at the age of 64. 

His death occurred on Monday and was confirmed in a touching Facebook statement by his talent agency, Galactic Productions. 

The agency praised Kane as an extraordinary performer whose extensive work shaped the childhoods and imaginations of millions across the globe, bringing wisdom, strength, humour, and heart to every single role he touched.

The Kansas City native built a remarkably long career in the industry, having started out in voiceover work when he was just 15 years old. 

Star Wars fans will know him best as the voice behind the beloved Jedi Master Yoda in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as well as Admiral Ackbar in the 2017 film Star Wars: The Last Jedi. 

Beyond a galaxy far, far away, Kane was also the voice of Professor Utonium in Cartoon Network’s The Powerpuff Girls from 2016 to 2019.

He was a staple of the gaming world too, lending his vocal talents to major titles like the Call of Duty franchise, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and Marvel Future Revolution.

Tragically, Kane’s prolific voiceover career was cut short a few years ago.

In 2020, he suffered a stroke that left him largely unable to speak, a devastating blow for a man whose voice had become such a comforting and recognisable part of so many people’s lives and memories.

Aside from his immense professional success, his agency made sure to highlight his reputation as a deeply compassionate family man. 

Off-screen, Tom was a devoted husband and father who, alongside his wife, built a loving family of nine children, three biological and six welcomed through adoption and fostering. 

Galactic Productions noted that this generosity defined who he was just as much as his remarkable talent. 

Kane is survived by his wife, Cindy, and their children. 

His agency beautifully concluded their tribute by writing that though his voice may now be silent, the characters, stories, and love he gave to the world will live on forever, adding, “May the Force be with you, always.”
