Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visit Wimbledon tennis final



The patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, was joined by her husband Prince William and the President of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.

The royal group had arrived just in time for the start of the women's singles final, a match between Australia's Ash Barty and Czech Republic's Karolina Pliskova on Saturday.

Barty became the first Australian to win the title in 41 years.

The duchess had been in isolation after receiving a notification to tell her that she had been near someone who tested positive for coronavirus last week.

She had been at Wimbledon watching a match at the time.

It was her first public appearance since isolating.

She is also expected to attend Wimbledon on Sunday for the men's final between Novak Djokovic and Italian Matteo Berrettini.

Key figures in the life of the fort

Haircare resolutions 2021

From Beirut and Amman to London and now Dubai, hairstylist George Massoud has seen the same mistakes made by customers all over the world. In the chair or at-home hair care, here are the resolutions he wishes his customers would make for the year ahead.

1. 'I will seek consultation from professionals'

You may know what you want, but are you sure it’s going to suit you? Haircare professionals can tell you what will work best with your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.

2. 'I will tell my hairdresser when I’m not happy'

Massoud says it’s better to offer constructive criticism to work on in the future. Your hairdresser will learn, and you may discover how to communicate exactly what you want more effectively the next time.

3. ‘I will treat my hair better out of the chair’

Damage control is a big part of most hairstylists’ work right now, but it can be avoided. Steer clear of over-colouring at home, try and pursue one hair brand at a time and never, ever use a straightener on still drying hair, pleads Massoud.
