Duke and Duchess

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been one of the most talked about couples of the year. The royals have been on the cover of every newspaper and magazine across the globe. Their wedding was watched by billions and their public engagements draw thousands to the streets.

This summer, the stunning duo took some time away from the spotlight, along with the rest of the royal family. During the month of August, Queen Elizabeth and co. tend to take a step back from their duties.

We must admit we've missed seeing snaps of the couple on our Instagram feeds, but fear not, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their welcome return to the spotlight at a charity event.

Harry and Meghan attended a gala performance of Hamilton last night. The special event was held to raise awareness and funds for children’s charity Sentebale.

Prince Harry established the children’s charity alongside Prince Seeiso. The charity gives hope and works with children and young people affected by HIV in southern Africa.

After the show, Prince Harry took to the stage with the cast of Hamilton and the creator of the musical Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The Duke delivered an impassioned speech about how the money they raised will help ill children, but before doing so he broke into song.

The audience cheered as Harry briefly sang  a snippet of You’ll Be Back from the musical.

It’s evident that the prince is a huge fan of the show. Meghan even told one of the cast members that Harry never stops singing the songs from the popular musical.

Maybe the Duke of Sussex could have a future in musical theatre? Who knows.

The Middleton household is certainly in for plenty of fun this Christmas time with Prince George, three, Princess Charlotte, 18-months, running around.

And it seems that their royal parents Kate and Wills will break with tradition for the second time: they are reportedly snubbing the Queen to spend the festive season with the Duchess's family.

Following a busy year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have opted for a “private” Christmas with the Middletons this year, a royal source told DailyMail.com.

Thankfully, Queen Elizabeth II is said to “understand” the couple’s "dilemma," (which impacts many families at this time of year) as well as recognising the closeness of Catherine’s relationship with her family.

The source added: “Indeed that is why she has long included Mr and Mrs Middleton in family events. She thinks they have conducted themselves impeccably and with enormous dignity over the years.”

The couple, who also spent Christmas with the Middletons in 2011 – the year they married – will be the only royals not in attendance on Christmas Day.

All other high-profile royals will spend Christmas with the Queen and Prince Philip at the famed Sandringham House in Norfolk. 

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex are all making the trip. 

The Queen's pregnant granddaughter, Zara, and her husband Mike Tindall, along with their three-year-old daughter Mia, will also be in attendance.

On the occassion of the christening of his little sister Princess Charlotte two weeks ago, a two-year-old Prince George very nearly stole the show.

Looking as cute-as-a-button in a red and white smock designed by Rachel Riley (the €100 piece inevitably sold out within 24 hours) he waved to the crowds, chatted to his great-granny, peered lovingly into Charlotte's pram, and generally proved that he's going to be a serious heart-breaker in another couple of decades. 

Understandably, the accompanying snaps of the day which were released by the British royals after the event, prompted oodles of ooos and aaas from around the globe. 

Taken by the famed Mario Testino, they showed Kate, 33, and Wills, also 33, with their prince and princess in a variety of casual and natural poses.

But if we assumed that we'd been given our fill of gorgeous shots of the picture-perfect Cambridges – how wrong we were!

For Mr Testino himself took to Facebook this afternoon to add to the collection.

The image shows a proud-as-punch Prince William holding on tight to his son as George leans in towards the lens, peering at the camera with his big, brown eyes. 

His lovely mop of blond tresses are swept away from his face, and he shows off a mouthful of white teeth too.

The toddler turns two tomorrow – with a party being thrown for him at his family's rural abode, Amner Hall. 

Peru-native Mario even wished the little royal a happy birthday in the accompanying caption. "The Duke Of Cambridge with his son Prince George, who turns two years old tomorrow," he wrote in both English and his native Spanish.

This photograph captures a very happy moment on what was a special day for The Duke and Duchess and their family. They are very pleased to share this picture as they celebrate Prince George's second birthday.

Kensington Palace said today in a statement: "The photograph shows The Duke of Cambridge holding Prince George in the gardens at Sandringham House.

"It was part of the series of official photographs taken by Mario Testino following Princess Charlotte's baptism on Sunday July 5."

Happy birthday, little prince! Here's to many more amazing photographs.
