Bea chills out as kate keeps out the chill

KATE Middleton kicked off the new year by attending Church with Queen Elizabeth and Prince William, on Sunday. Royal expert Carole Malone said the Duchess, who turned 37 on Wednesday, feels “put out” by the arrival of sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.

Kate didn’t fail to impress with her thrifty sense of fashion by turning out to church in a blue Catherine Walker coat, which she was first seen in when pregnant with Prince Louis.

William, 36, told well-wishers that Prince Philip was “feeling very good” despite his grandfather missing a fourth consecutive service.

More than 6 437km away, Princess Beatrice, pictured, was enjoying decidedly warmer weather as she strolled hand-in-hand on an African beach with her new boyfriend. It was the first time Beatrice, 30, has been pictured with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 35.

The couple celebrated new year on the Kenyan island of Lamu where the property tycoon, pictured, had proposed to the mother of his child in 2015. He and Dara Huang, 37, who have a son, 2, had planned to marry on the island.

However, their engagement broke down in October and he began a romance with Beatrice at the Windsor wedding of her sister Eugenie.
