Duke and Duchess of Sussex will tour Australia and New Zealand

The royal couple who got married on May 19 at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle will take a trip Down Under later this year for Harry's Invictus Games, which are being held in Sydney this time, before heading off to Fiji and Tonga and finishing up New Zealand as part of their first official tour since becoming husband and wife.

Kensington Palace announced the news on Sunday on Twitter, writing: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will undertake an official visit to Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand in the Autumn.

The pair have been invited to Australia and New Zealand by the countries' governments and will travel to Fiji and Tonga at the request of the UK Foreign Office.

The prince and his wife who was known as Meghan Markle before she joined the royal family will follow in the footsteps of his father Prince Charles and late mother Princess Diana as their first royal tour was to Australia and New Zealand in 1983.

Kanye tried to sabotage Celebrity Family Feud

Kanye West tried to get the Kardadians disqualified from 'Celebrity Family Feud'.

The 'Bound 2' hitmaker appeared on the hit game show with wife Kim Kardashian West and three of his cousins, competing against his mother-in-law Kris Jenner, Kim's sisters Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, her grandmother Mary Jo Campbell, her cousin CiCi Bussey and friend Jonathan Cheban.

When the Kardashian family began consulting with one another when they shouldn't have been, Kim called out: "No cheating over there! No discussing."

West appealed to host Steve Harvey: "That's an automatic disqualification. I guess we, uh, win?"

The 41-year-old rapper known for his serious attitude and reluctance to appear on reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' seemed to be having the time of his life on the NBC show, as he just couldn't stop smiling.

Queen is a big horse lover

Queen Elizabeth watches her thoroughbred mares give birth on her iPad.

The 92-year-old monarch usually misses her horses who are kept at Sandringham in Norfolk deliver their babies in the spring and summer months as she spends the majority of her time in London, but her staff have come up with a strategy so that she can still see the birthing process even though she's over 100 miles away.

David Somers, manager of the Queen's stables, has revealed that the royal is alerted when foaling begins and she watches the births on her tablet via CCTV.

Speaking on a special episode of 'Countryfile' on Monday night, Somers said: "The advantage of the CCTV is that once it's happening I can also be on the phone at the same time explaining what's going on and talking her through the process."

The monarch has a wide understanding of horses as she was given her first pony Peggy by her grandfather George V for her fourth birthday.
