A galloping gig pushchair, which was previously used by Queen Victoria's grandchildren, is set to go to auction on 1 October. The pushchair was designed to resemble a horse-drawn carriage, and it features a child’s wicker seat and a pair of dappled toy horses which gallop up and down when pushed.

It's thought that the item, which will be auctioned by Woolley and Wallis's furniture, could fetch between £1,200 and £1,800.

So I love this new feature by our onine royal correspondent Danielle Stacey looking at the next generation of royal influencers.

Colin Firth’s ex-wife has torn up her MBE certificate, and said she is returning her honorary MBE after the state visit of President Donald Trump.

The environmental activist was among the recipients of honorary British awards to foreign nationals in 2019 for services to sustainable fashion, but in an Instagram video on Wednesday, the 56-year-old wrote that the state visit was "a frightening and cowardly display of appeasing someone who stands for the obliteration of the natural world and the most vulnerable people on earth".

After Meghan revealed that the thing she misses most about her time in the UK was the radio station Magic FM, Magic Content Director Paul Sylvester has extended an offer to the Duchess. 

"The offer is on the table: if the Duchess wants to host a show, she's very welcome," he said. Over to you, Meghan...

It's the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh flying the flag for the British royals today.

Princess Anne will attend the National Railway Museum's 50th Anniversary, North Yorkshire, as well as a Service of Dedication for a Le Paradis Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire.

Meanwhile, Prince Edward will attend a concert at the Southbank Centre in London.

The Princess Royal opened up about her education as she visited the Naval Children's Charity in Portsmouth on Wednesday. As Princess Anne met some of the military children, who attend boarding school, during her outing, she spoke about how boarding school provides "stability".

The royal boarded at Benenden School in Kent from 1963 to 1968. She said: "One of the charities I'm doing puts children into boarding schools, and the thing they always say is that it gives them stability. I think that's true for a lot of people, that level of stability, because otherwise it leaves gaps in your life which are difficult to manage."

The King and the Prince of Wales have enjoyed some quality father-son time together at Balmoral, according to reports. Prince William flew up to the royal family's Scottish retreat after visiting bereaved families in Southport on Tuesday. The Sun reports that the future king was seen arriving at Aberdeen airport later in the day.

It's the third year that Charles and William have taken a mini-break together in the Highlands, not diarised with senior staff, but set aside to chat as sovereign and heir, according to The Telegraph. The King is set to remain in residence in Scotland until the end of September.  Prince William and Kate previously visited Balmoral with their three children at the end of August during the school holidays. 

Tomorrow, on Friday 26th Sepetmber, Prince Albert of Monaco will begin his visit to Rwanda to see a beekeeping training centre for vulnerable women, which is partly funded by his foundation.

This centre was created by the French Observatory of Apidology (OFA, study of bees). There, women who are victims of violence and living in extreme poverty receive training, cultivate gardens, learn beekeeping skills and earn income from the sale of honey and honey products.

Stay tuned tomorrow to see how the Prince gets on.
