Pope Leo XIV visited Castel Gandolfo to inspect ongoing work at the Papal residence before his summer holiday, which begins on July 6 and lasts until July 20. During his stay, he will celebrate Mass and lead prayers, with all public audiences suspended for the month. The visit also included a tour of the Laudato Si’ educational project, emphasizing environmental issues.
The long summer holiday taken by Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, is reportedly raising eyebrows among some Palace staffers. The couple has blocked off much of the summer to spend time with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, and has been enjoying vacations at their country home, Anmer Hall, and in Mustique. While they have attended some official engagements with their children, there are concerns about the amount of time they are not dedicating to royal duties. However, commentators acknowledge their commitment to prioritizing their family and note that their workload is expected to increase as the number of working royals decreases.
Late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon shares a rare family photo featuring his wife and daughters on July 2. In the photo, the family is all smiles on a dock, with Fallon jokingly mentioning his condition of standing on the dry side. Fallon's family vacation snap receives love from famous friends, and while he rarely shares photos of his kids on social media, he openly expresses his love for being a dad. Fallon admits to being a softie when it comes to his daughters and believes moms should take on the disciplinarian role.
