It’s hard to believe six years have passed since the world came to a standstill to watch a fairytale come true – the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

In this issue, we reminisce on that magical day and look at how Wills and Kate are continuing to write their own rules when it comes to their modern-day royal marriage.

It’s been a big week allround for the palace. In the year that marks 20 years since his mother’s passing, Harry’s heartfelt admissions of his darkest moments would surely have made Diana incredibly proud. Harry’s frank – and brave – interview, in which he talked about his mental health struggles during the years that followed his mum’s death, have no doubt opened the door for many around the world to have more open and robust conversati­ons around mental health.

It’s a complete departure from the stiff upper lip mentality the royals have held to date. And it’s a truly remarkable way to throw his support and star power to the charity he, William and Kate set up last year – Heads Together – which strives to change the way people think and talk about mental health. If we didn’t already have a soft spot for Harry, this latest move has truly cemented him in our hearts. Bravo, Harry!

Enjoy your week.
