THE Prince and Princess of Wales’ first joint Welsh engagement in months was a “flirt fest” which showed their “sexual chemistry”, claims an expert.
Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, visited Pontypridd in south Wales yesterday, ahead of St. David’s Day, and displayed rare PDA with arm touches and hand holding.
During the trip, the pair were caught sharing a cheeky joke, as they baked cakes at the Welsh Cake Shop.
Body language expert Judi James pointed out that the couple revealed their ‘breathtaking’ sexual attraction in Kate’s cancer-free video.
She told Fabulous: “This Welsh outing suggests the cork is well and truly out of the bottle and that the couple are now more than happy to continue with the non-verbal narrative of fondness and flirting.
“This is William and Kate displaying but not flaunting their sexual chemistry together.
“The chemistry isn’t just loving it is also sexual. All the lingering touches and glances suggest flirting and sexual appreciation as well as fondness.”
Judi claims the couple appear to be back in their honeymoon phase with their tactile behaviour – especially with their close hand-holding.
She pointed out: “It’s always been known that they will naturally hold hands and hug behind the scenes while adopting a more formal and less tactile professional persona, but here they are in public, walking along a station platform with their bodies welded together from shoulder to pelvis and with a loving hand clasp to signal they might still be in the honeymoon stages of their love story.
“In front of the cameras here they appear besotted and putting more effort into their flirting than into making those Welsh cakes.
“This flirt-fest entails prolonged eye contact and playful laughter, while their mutual touch rituals have increased dramatically.”
The body language expert said they both displayed the “look of love”, with William’s face showing a “smitten, bashful kind of affection.”
Arriving at Tshop – which is well known for its Bara Brith, a traditional Welsh fruit bread – Wills jokes: “How dirty can you be? Flour everywhere?”
The couple then proceeded to giggle as they donned matching aprons while making traditional Welsh Cakes at the Pontypridd shop – which has served tasty snacks to locals for more than 25 years.
During the engagement, the Princess of Wales appeared to start a jam war after offering her recipe for free just days after Meghan launched her exclusive new brand.
California-based Meg, 43, launched her ‘As ever’ range last week which will sell food online after agreeing a megabucks tie up with Netflix.
Posting on Instagram, she said: “Of course there will be fruit preserves, I think we’re all clear at this point that jam is my jam.”
But meeting youngsters in South Wales today, the Princess of Wales revealed she had her own recipe for plum jam – and offered to pass on her tips for making the perfect preserve for free to youngsters.
Hearing how young volunteers at a community garden were growing their own plums and turning them into jam, she promised: “I’ll send you my plum jam recipe so you can try it.”

The princess also revealed that she is learning to forage in Norfolk, with her three children left impressed by a “huge” puffball mushroom she had found near their home at Anmer Hall.
Kate added: “The children thought it was fascinating.”
The princess and duchess have not spoken for years as Harry and Meg hurled insults on their Netflix six-par show, tell-all memoir and shock Oprah Winfrey interview, since Megxit.
Kate, meanwhile, has been turning up for more public appearances as part of her “gradual” return to work after cancer.
It was the couple’s first major ‘away day’ of the year for Kate’s “gradual” return to duty – and their first joint trip to Wales since October 2023.
Kate’s appearance follows a Palace announcement regarding the royal’s “gradual” return to public duties from the New Year.
She has since made a number of appearances including meeting Holocaust survivors at an emotional memorial event, and visiting Tŷ Hafan’s hospice near Cardiff, where she spent time with children, families and staff.
It is also understood tours abroad are “not on the table”, despite Prince William last year saying they might “have some more trips lined up”.
Instead, Kate’s “primary focus” will be her Centre for Early Childhood and UK-based engagements.
The Princess of Wales will also support the Royal Family at events such as Buckingham Palace Garden Parties, Trooping the Colour, Royal Ascot and the Remembrance Day commemorations.

SHARK’S bestselling multi-styler has been making waves in the beauty industry since its release, but it doesn’t come cheap.
Is it worth the spend? I tested this handy hair tool for a year: read my Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Dryer System review to find out more.
As someone who tried and failed for years to master the art of the at-home blow out, I have the rise of air tools to thank for my transformed hair styling routine.
Voluminous, face-framing waves used to be limited to those particularly skilled with a hair dryer (or committed to weekly salon trips) – before the innovative air-powered technology.
Every hair tool under the sun promises ‘salon-worthy results at home’, and I’ve been testing the Shark FlexStyle for long enough to determine if it can truly deliver.
Known originally for its popular vacuums, Shark branched out into the beauty tech space in 2022 with the launch of the FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System.
The brand rivalled the bestselling Dyson Airwrap with its ability to dry, smooth, curl and straighten while keeping damage to a minimum.
Shark FlexStyle Air Styler and Hair Dryer, £279.99
Shark swooped in at a time when beauty enthusiasts were searching for a more affordable alternative to the £400 Airwrap – but at £250, the FlexStyle is still an investment.
Scrapping the need to buy a hair dryer, hot brush and curling tong separately, the beauty gadget includes between four and five attachments, with the option to build your own bundle based on your hair type.
Is it worth ditching your current tools for an all-in-one gadget?
As The Sun’s Fashion & Beauty eCommerce writer, it’s my job to try out products that are causing a buzz in the industry.
The hype around the Shark FlexStyle is still going, and I can confidently share my thoughts after trialling the tool for a year.
I’m obsessed with all things beauty so I’ve tested my fair share of hair stylers over the years, but it takes a lot for one to become a regular in my routine.
The Smoothing Concentrator (hair drying nozzle) and Auto-Wrap Curling Barrels are my go-to FlexStyle attachments so I’ll be talking mostly about them, but I’ve also tested the Paddle Brush, Oval Brush and Fizz Fighter heads.
For reference, I have long wavy hair that can get frizzy after washing, and I have extensions.
Minimising damage while styling is always a priority for me (my bleached hair already goes through enough), so the FlexStyle immediately had my attention with its bold claim of ‘no heat damage’.
How is that possible? The FlexStyle uses powerful airflow that doesn’t transfers as much direct heat than hot plates, therefore being a gentler option for the hair.
How much is the Shark FlexStyle? The beauty tech tool would usually set you back between £250-£300, but the build-your-own version is currently on sale for £242.99 on the Shark website.
Who’s it best for? As it has multiple functions, all hair types are likely to benefit, although I can see it being most effective for those with long and thick hair due to it speeding up styling time and holding a curl for longer on thick hair.
What we loved: How efficiently it creates a voluminous blow-out without causing heat damage, and how the attachments can create a range of styles.
What we didn’t: The loud noise it makes when using, the fact that it’s too bulky for travelling.
Shark FlexStyle attachments: In the classic set or build-your-own bundle, the following accessories are available: Paddle Brush, Oval Brush, Auto-Wrap Curlers, Styling Concentrator, Diffuser, FrizzFighter Finishing Tool and Wide Tooth Comb.
Every beauty influencer in existence seems to own the FlexStyle, so I was pretty familiar with its appearance before trying it out.
While sleek in its design, the cable combined with the attachments are on the bulky side (which is to be expected due to its multiple functions) – but it’s meant I’ve avoided travelling with it so far.
When purchasing the FlexStyle, shoppers can select the five-in-one bundle, or mix-and-match your own (choosing four attachments).
I have the model that comes with five attachments; Auto-Wrap Curlers (one for each side of the head), a Paddle Brush, an Oval Brush, a Styling Concentrator, and a Diffuser.
My Fizz Fighter Finishing Tool is a new addition, which I bought separately to try and tame my frizz at my roots.
As I have attachments in my bundle that I don’t use (the diffuser, as it’s designed for curly/ coily hair) I would recommend the Build Your Own Hair Styling and Drying System to get the most for your money.
If you’re looking for a way to create bouncy blow-outs yourself, the Shark FlexStyle absolutely delivers – but it does take practice to perfect the process.
My biggest reservation about the FlexStyle before trying it was over the drying system.
A multitasking styler runs the risk of being a jack of all trades but a master of none, but Shark has ensured its hair dryer doesn’t compromise on power.
I swear by my Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer for quick results on my long hair, and the FlexStyle pretty much matches its drying time.
Call me easily pleased, but the way the tool rotates between a dryer and a styler is one of my favourite features.
The fact it twists into a right angle makes it so much easier to use, and as a common theme with the FlexStyle – it never makes me feel like I’m overworking to get results.
There are three heat and power settings (I tend to use mine on full blast) and following the instructions of online videos, I always use the Cool Shot feature for locking the style in place.
The Paddle Brush (for straight styles) and the Oval Brush (for blow-outs) both have boar and plastic bristles that are great for gripping the hair, but I’d recommend being gentle to avoid snagging the hair.
The newest addition in my routine is the Frizz Fighter Finishing Tool.
Like the barrels, it attracts the hair, gliding from the root to smooth frizz and flyaways, essentially enhancing the effects of the other attachments.
Now for quite possibly the main selling point – the Auto-Wrap Curling Barrels.
I have to admit, I was quickly humbled when I realised that the beauty influencers were making the process look far easier than it is.
The airflow technology makes the air wrap around the barrel automatically to create a curl, but I struggled with getting it to pick up the hair for the first few attempts.
And when I did, the curl would drop out within the first few hours.
After plenty of practice (and TikTok tutorials) I managed to master the method – but patience is needed.
I found the key to be keeping the sections really small as it makes it easier for the hair to wrap, and use a product to hold the curls (I swear by the Colour Wow XL Volumiser).
Unlike when I use curling tongs, the curls aren’t going to last me for days on end but they do look great that day, and after sleeping on them I’m left with a subtle wave that I’ll sometimes go over with the barrels.
I also find the whole process to be far more enjoyable than curling my hair with tongs (which could be down to years of the same routine) – and the airflow makes creating curls far more efficient.
The one thing I’d change about the FlexStyle is the noise.
When my room mate borrows it I can hear the whirring from the other side of the flat, so it’s not one you could use while watching TV or late at night.
Keeping heat damage to a minimum is important to me as I already put enough strain on my hair with bleach, extensions and frequent styling.
Can I confidently say that the FlexStyle causes zero damage? No.
But can I confidently say that it creates a salon-worthy blow-out while causes far, far less damage than other hair tools? Absolutely.
Results aside, I can tell when I’m using the FlexStyle that its transferring way less heat than a tong or straightener.
There’s no burning smell (and if there is, you may need to clean the filter) and my hair has felt healthier since ditching the tongs for the FlexStyle regularly.
I love how my hair turns out every time I use the Shark FlexStyle, and it’s absolutely worth investing time to master the technique in order to get profesional-looking results.
The Shark FlexStyle isn’t cheap, but if you’re keen to invest in a does-it-all hair tool, it’s more affordable than its competitors.
It’s also the ideal time to take the plunge, as all of the models are currently on sale.
Shark’s 5-in-1 Hair Dryer and Air Styler with Storage Case is reduced from £299.99 to £269.99, while the Build Your Own bundle is down from £269.99 to £249.99.
Refurbished models are also available on eBay, a cheaper alternative to buying the FlexStyle brand new.
Shark released a 2025 edition of the FlexStyle earlier this year, which beauty fans can buy for £279.99.
Shark FlexStyle Build Your Own Dying System, £242.99 (was £269.99)
The Shark FlexStyle is available to buy online at Boots, Amazon and of course, the Shark website.
Most major beauty retailers are also currently stocking the styler, including Sephora, Lookfantastic and Cult Beauty.
There are several colourways to choose from, including the limited-edition sparkle FlexStyle that comes in stunning champagne and black shades (and would be perfect if you’re buying the styler as a gift).
The full list of places to shop online:
Yes. The FlexStyle Storage Case is included in some of the bundles, but it can also be bought separately for £50 on the Shark website.
All of the FlexStyle attachments can be bought separately on the Shark website for £24.99 each – so you can add to your collection.
One reviews explain that if the power feels lower or there’s a burning smell coming from the styler, the filter may need cleaning.
To clean it, twist off the filter cover and remove any debris, then use water to rinse the filter mesh.
Before reattaching the filter, make sure to air dry it fully.
It’s no secret that the Dyson Airwrap is the FlexStyle’s main competitor, but there are also cheaper options on the market.
Revlon, Bondi Boost and Silk’n all have similar hair tools, and the Sun Shopping team also tried and tested BaByliss’ bestselling £35 styler.
Beauty fans that are mostly tempted by the Oval Brush attachment on the FlexStyle should also check out our round-up of the best hot brushes.
The FlexStyle is a great option for those who want to create bouncy blow-outs with minimal skill and effort.
Does it take practice to get it right? Yes. But once you get the technique down, it’s so worth it.
The styler works effectively on long and thick hair, but those with fine hair likely will need to work harder for long-lasting curls.
With a price tag of around £250, it’s not cheap – but if you blow dry and curl your hair regularly, it’s an investment worth considering.
The best part about the FlexStyle? It’s evident while using that it causes far less heat damage that tongs and straighteners – not to mention that it’s significantly more enjoyable to use.

THE average children’s birthday party costs £524, but that’s only for us normal folk.
In fact, Hollywood’s finest and the UK’s biggest names are splurging hundreds of thousands to celebrate their little ones’ years.
It’s well known that the Kardashian family hosts epic kids’ parties that most of us would dream of being invited to.
But they’re not the only ones putting on celebrations for the ages.
Some celebs are taking their tots to Buckingham Palace to celebrate the year ahead, while others are commissioning petting zoos and 20ft balloon arches.
In the wake of Chicago West’s epic seventh birthday party, Fabulous takes a look at the most expensive kids birthday parties on record…
In April 2016, Beyoncé uploaded pictures of her daughter Blue Ivy’s fourth birthday party to her website.
It was rumoured to have cost £632,000 (USD$800,000), according to Wedded Wonderland.
The shindig was fairy themed.
It included whimsical tepees, plush couches, and a bow and arrow station. There were also fairy-lights and an array of faux flower decorations.
Insiders revealed at the time that the party was supposed to be held outside, but a shock downpour of rain meant that a last-minute clear marquee had to be arranged.
Every mini guest was able to choose from a wardrobe of designer fairy costumes with a rumoured value over £158,000.
Pictures of the party went viral at the time due to Blue Ivy arguably being one of the world’s most famous babies when she was born back in 2012.
She is now 13-years-old and has twin siblings, a sister named Rumi and a brother named Sir, aged seven.
Chicago West, the third child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, celebrated her seventh birthday in style this week.
Mum-of-four Kim, 44, shared snaps from the hoedown with members of the Kardashian clan dressed in Western clobber.
There was a hat decorating stand, DJ booth, multiple balloon displays worth tens of thousands of pounds, a range of funfair stands and a pinata.
It’s rumoured that Kim Kardashian spends just shy of £100,000 on her children’s epic birthday parties, according to The Richest.
Kim’s other children are North, 11, Saint, nine, and Psalm, five.
Kim shared a series of snaps from the pink-heavy day on Instagram, including her hitting the pinata and of Chicago’s two outfits, one of which included a jewel-embellished shirt.
“Those kids are blessed,” one fan commented.
“The amount of money spent on these parties is sickening,” another said.
Kylie Jenner’s festival and funfair-themed first birthday for her daughter Stormi, now seven, was so epic that she ran it for another year… and then another.
Rumoured to have cost at least £80,000 on the first go, StormiWorld was a play on her dad Travis Scott’s 2018 album, AstroWorld.
A second rendition of the kids festival was hosted by Kylie, 27, again the following year for Stormi’s second birthday.
It included a Trolls room and Frozen room, after Stormi’s favourite film, and a claw machine full of plush Stormi faces.
She brought the concept back for a third time for Stormi’s fifth birthday in 2023.
The entrances for all three parties were inspired by Travis Scott’s Astroworld cover art, and was an inflatable head of Stormi in which guests walked through the mouth.
The parties also featured giant Astroworld-themed inflatable slides.
Kylie is longer in a relationship with 33-year-old Travis Scott, real name Jacques Bermon Webster II, but the pair also share son Aire, three.
Kylie Jenner is the youngest of Kris Jenner‘s children. She is best known for starring alongside her sisters on the Kardashians reality shows, while also being a model, socialite and the founder of multiple businesses: Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Skin, Kylie Baby, and Kylie Swim.
Just how great are your birthday parties when your mum is the heiress of Hilton Hotels and a noughties icon with an estimated £240 million net worth? Very great.
Paris Hilton, 44, had her first child, a son named Phoenix, via surrogate in January 2023. She welcomed daughter London in November that same year.
And if little Phoenix’s first bash is anything to go by, he’s got a lot to look forward to in the coming years.
The party was “under the sea themed” and complete with a petting zoo, 10ft tall balloon arches, a ball pit and a bouncy castle.
Kelly Osborne, YouTuber Desi Perkins, actress Selma Blair and make-up mogul Kat Von D were all there, alongside members of the uber influential Hilton clan.
“Sliving under the sea with Baby P for his first birthday!” Paris penned on Instagram after the party.
“A magical day for the most magical, smiley boy.”
If similar parties hosted by the Kardashian family are anything to go by, it’s likely that Paris spent around £80,000 on Phoenix’s first birthday festivities.
Harper Beckham, 13, daughter of Posh and Becks, was invited to the princess tea party to end all princess tea parties for her sixth birthday.
Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson invited her and her friends to a tea party at Buckingham Palace in 2017.
Fergie hosted the party in ex-husband Prince Andrew’s private suite while the Queen was in Scotland.
And this celebration is so lavish you can’t put a price on it, given that invitation to one of the suites is strictly by invitation only.
A royal insider said: “It’s very surprising Fergie would host a celebrity party at Buckingham Palace.
“The Queen and Prince Philip are away in Scotland. He would never allow her to do something like this in the house when he was there — but the Queen still has a soft spot for her.
“I can’t remember an occasion when she actually hosted something at Buckingham Palace. So it’s an extraordinary situation, especially seeing there doesn’t appear to be a charity involved.”
A shot from the day showed Harper in a Cinderella outfit posing with Princess Eugenie, then aged 27, and another showed Becks hugging his only daughter in the palace courtyard.
Molly-Mae Hague, 25, might have an estimated net worth of £6 million, but her daughter Bambi’s birthday parties are a different kind of rich – they’re rich in family time.
Molly-Mae bakes her own cake the night before Bambi’s birthday every year, which is a tradition her own mum had when she was a child.
For the actual day, the mega-influencer simply hosts family and friends round her sprawling Cheshire mansion to celebrate.
Bambi’s second birthday last month saw the tot blowing out her candles surrounded by mum Molly-Mae, as well as her nan and great grandmother.
It wasn’t a far cry from her first set of humble birthday celebrations in January 2024.
Molly-Mae had a small spread on her kitchen island for family and friends to tuck into, complete with a grazing table and a number of baked goods with white icing.
However, from the clear and white balloons, to two snow white cakes and matching cupcakes – some felt that the colourless affair was a “boring” theme.
Judging by local bakeries and charcuterie businesses to Molly-Mae’s home, it’s likely that the mum–of-one spent at least £500 on the charcuterie board and over £1,000 on all the professionally made cakes and sweet treats.
Add that on to the average total cost for baking a cake from scratch being just under £12, Molly-Mae could have spent around £1,512 on Bambi’s first birthday spread.
THE stars of a popular noughties drama will all be reunited once again for a completely different show.
Fans of the show Supernatural will be left over the moon to see some of the cast of the programme back together again but in a completely different way.
Supernatural actor Jensen Ackles will be welcoming some of his co-stars to hit show The Boys for its fifth and final season.
His co-stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins were revealed to be joining the programme in a brand new social media post.
In the video, Jensen can be seen talking to the phone as he says: “Hey Jared, we’ve got work to do.”
The camera then moves across to Jared to confirm his participation in the show with the actor saying: “Okay, I’ll tell Misha. Misha, we got work to do.”
To fans delight, Misha then appeared as she quipped: “Okay. What are we doing?”
The logo for The Boys then popped up with the video’s caption tellingly reading: “Season 5 just got a bit more supernatural.”
Whilst details on their characters are being kept under wraps, Deadline have reported they are only appearing in guest capacities.
The news sent fans into an absolute frenzy as they were left beside themselves with excitement and curiosity.
One commented underneath the post: “I AM SORRY WHAT??? Someone please explain!!!!!”
Another declared in excitement: “I am going to throw up.”
A third admitted: “NO PART OF ME IS CALM RN.”
Before a fourth said: “This is one of my favorite things to ever happen.”
Superhero show The Boys made its debut in 2019 with production on its fifth and final series currently underway.
Meanwhile, Supernatural ran for 15 years between 2005 and 2020 and has since developed a cult following.
GARDENING can be a relaxing and enjoyable pastime, however pesky weeds can be off-putting.
If you want to cut down on the tiresome chore and focus on perfecting your flowerbeds instead, this tip is for you.
You can finally put an end to the never-ending cycle of pulling up stubborn weeds only for them to pop back up again.
And this handy hack doesn’t involve any harsh chemicals, it’s an all natural solution.
Gardening expert Chris Ware from Climbing Wild Gardeners shared the tip with the Daily Express.
He revealed that the weed-banishing step doesn’t involves minimal effort.
According to the pro, adding certain plants to your flowerbeds can help to ward off weeds.
“With ground cover plants, you’re not just decorating your garden—you’re giving it a natural defense against weeds,” he explained.
“By forming a dense canopy over the soil, ground cover plants block sunlight and prevent weed seeds from sprouting.”
As well as preventing weeds from growing, these canopies also elevate your garden.
The expert recommended adding Glandora prostrata, also known as “Heavenly Blue”, to your flowerbeds.
He described it as “a hardy evergreen that offers great weed suppression while maintaining a lush, green look all year round”.
He explained that the plant is suited for well-draining loamy or sandy soils.
For heavier soils, the green-fingered expert suggested considering Bergenia purpurascens or Rhododendron Bloombux.
“These plants will still serve the same purpose, but you’ll need to raise the bed or adjust for the more water-retentive soil type,” he explained.
Ground cover plants can also help to protect soil from erosion as well as improving moisture retention.
And if you’re a fan of wildlife, these flowerbed additions can help to provide shelter to insects and small creatures.
Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech’s Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
Once these plants are established in your garden, they require little care.
This makes them a practical, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution for combatting weeds.
However, you should ensure you tailor your plant choice to your garden’s conditions.
“It’s crucial to understand your soil type and sun exposure before selecting your ground cover,” the expert said.
“The right plant selection can transform your garden into a low-maintenance, weed-free haven.”
