Princess Kate had fans doing a double take this weekend as she made a spirited return to the stands.

The Princess of Wales stepped out on Saturday, for the England vs. Ireland clash at the Allianz Stadium, appearing in her role as Patron of the Rugby Football Union.

And while England may not have had the ending they hoped for, Kate certainly delivered a glowing appearance in blue coat.

After Ireland powered to a 42–21 victory, the royal took to Instagram with a cheeky message: “Congratulations Ireland. 

Always a pleasure to see @englandrugby in action at Twickenham @sixnationsrugby.”

During the high-energy match, Kate was spotted laughing and chatting with John O’Driscoll, President of the Irish Rugby Football Union.

She also took her seat beside England prop Fin Baxter currently sidelined with a foot injury and spent much of the game in conversation with him and RFU president Deborah Griffin.

Despite the scoreboard’s final say, the trio appeared in bright spirits, sharing laughs as Ireland racked up the points.

A seven-month-old Japanese macaque named Punch has won hearts worldwide. But another thing that grabbed attention was his famous plushie.

The toy identified as the DJUNGELSKOG orangutan, a huggable plush from IKEA’s wildlife themes children’s range having long-flexible arms designed to mimic real apes.

The connection with the Punch sparked a surge in demand.

Punch was abandoned by his mother after his birth in July 2025 at Ichikawa City Zoo near Tokyo.

To cope up with the loneliness and abandonment, the zoo caretakers introduced a soft toy as a substitute source of emotional security.

Since then, the baby monkey developed a deep attachment with the orange orangutan, clinging to it constantly as he eats, rests, and explores his enclosure.

The DJUNGELSKOG orangutan retails for approximately $19.99 in the United States, though online reseller prices have fluctuated with demand.

The orangutan version measures roughly 66cm in length and is made primarily from polyester fibres, with embroidered facial details for additional safety and durability.

The DJUNGELSKOG line itself has become one of IKEA’s most recognisable plush collections worldwide, alongside other internet-famous toys such as its shark plush. 

The orangutan version measures roughly 66 cm in length and is made primarily from polyester fibres, with embroidered facial features designed for safety and durability.

After the toy sales went up, IKEA representatives visited the zoo and donated several toys to ensure that the baby monkey always has a companion.

Fans have affectionately nicknamed the toy “Oran-Mama.”

Hilary Duff, in her long hiatus away from creating music, was experiencing music as a listener and noticed the changes which came along the way, one of which was Taylor Swift.

The 38-year-old pop superstar praised the Eras Tour performer, 36, in a new interview after the release of her new album, Luck… Or Something.

While talking about the differences she notices in the music industry a decade ago, and now during her comeback, the Lizzy McGuire alum said, “I don’t think the intent back then was sophisticated songwriting. There was no Taylor Swift yet — it’s like before Christ and after Christ.”

When asked if Taylor changed the game, Duff said “On all the levels,” in conversation on the CBS Mornings show.

The Mature hitmaker returned to the music scene after over a decade with a record which captures parts of her life during the period she was away.

In an Instagram post after the release, Duff penned down an emotional backstory behind the album, writing, “There are songs about love, heartbreak, life life-ing, insecurities, and growing up … I hope you find pieces of yourself in this record.”

Following the release of her album, the Disney alum is headed for a concert tour around the world which kicks off in June.
