The truth is finally out about the William and Kate affair rumors, and it confirms what we suspected

The lives of the members of the British royal family have always been intriguing for the public.

The moment the country learned William started dating Kate while the two were both students at St. Andrews in Scotland, the media published all sorts of “love is in the air” articles which additionally added to the interest in the couple’s private life.

During the time they dated, William’s friends often mocked Kate because she was a commoner.

Before starting their multi-million dollar worth company Party Pieces, Kate’s parents worked ordinary jobs. Her mother was an air hostess for the British Airways and it seemed like a good ground for jokes at the future Princess’ expense.

Speaking on Vanity Fair’s DYNASTY podcast last year, royal expert Katie Nicholl – author of The New Royals – described how William’s “snooty” friends whispered “doors to manual” when Kate arrived at one of West London’s nightclubs.

The prince’s aristocratic friends who were referred to as the “Glosse Posse,” a reference to their Gloucestershire roots, didn’t feel like Kate was on their level. However, she never rose to the “derogatory” comments made towards her, but decided to ignore them.

“It was never water off a duck’s back, but she has extraordinary strength of character and resilience. I’ve never once seen or heard of her losing her temper,” a royal aide told the Sunday Times Magazine.

William and Kate both graduated in the same year, 2005; William with a master of arts degree in geography, and Kate with a master of arts degree in art history. But while their relationship appeared only to flourish, trouble lay on the horizon.

However, in 2007, the couple split, and that split was a high-profile one as everyone suddenly started talking about it. The news filled the newspapers and made headlines while many speculated of the reasons behind the break-up.

They eventually reconciled and tied the knot on April 29, 2011.

In April 2019, the American publication In Touch reported that William “may” have had an affair with a woman named Rose Hanbury, who happens to be the Marchioness of Cholmondeley and a friend of Kate’s.

Allegedly, Kate confronted William about the rumors but he “laughed it off” and claimed that wasn’t true.

Daily Mail royal expert Richard Kay spoke on the matter and said it was fake news. “Both sides have considered legal action, but because none of the reports have been able to offer any evidence about what the so-called dispute is about, they have chosen to ignore it… These hurtful rumors of a fallout are simply false,” Kay wrote.

Rose and her husband live near Kate and William in a home with 106 rooms.

Rose’s maternal grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambert, was one of late Queen Elizabeth’s bridesmaids when she married Prince Philip, so this woman’s connection with the royals dates way back.

She and Kate are said to be friends who are both patrons of the East Anglia Children’s Hospice. What’s most, it has been reported that in the past William, Kate, Rose, and Rose’s husband David, the Marquess of Cholmondeley, double-dated.

Today, Rose works as a political researcher for the Conservative MP Michael Gove, but in the past she used to be a model. She and her husband started dating in 2003 and tied the knot six years later, welcoming three children together, twin brothers Alexander, the Earl of Rocksavage, and Lord Oliver Cholmondeley and daughter, Lady Iris.

Lord Oliver was one of King Charles’ Pages on Honor during his coronation in May of this year.

Currently, Rose’s husband is appointed Lord-in-Waiting to King Charles.

When the rumor about the alleged affair between William and Rose spread, it was reported that they were all left baffled.

“These hurtful rumours of a fallout are simply false. William and David were in touch with each other over the weekend, not knowing whether to laugh or complain,” an insider said.

“Both wives are hurt by the suggestion that there is any argument or even a coolness between them. They have plans for future events involving their charity.”

As per The Mirror, another friend said at the time: “It has now become very upsetting, and they are all concerned for each other, as they have never before had to start denying something for which there is no evidence or even a smidgen of truth. It is just mad.”

That the rumors might be far from true speaks the fact that Kate and Rose attended a music festival together, held at the 1000-acre Houghton Hall estate, owned by David and Rose.

“Catherine was nervous about the idea, but after much discussion with her protection officers, she went with lots of security. William wasn’t there,” a source shared with the Daily Mail.

The media reported that the Princess of Wales was “in high spirits, ordering spicy margaritas, eating affogato and speaking affably with the other members of her party.

“Her companions apparently carted in a huge, balthazar-sized bottle of AIX rosé and, together with Kate, left the festival restaurant staff a £700 tip.”

The health benefits of garlic have been proven throughout the centuries. Even the modern medicine recognizes its power when it comes to treating the cold and other health issues. However, besides being used as a natural remedy and as a common cooking ingredient, garlic can also be used for cleaning. If you wonder how, we have the answer.

Because it contains allicin, a compound responsible for its potent aroma, which also acts as a deterrent to fungi, bacteria, and mold, garlic can be used for cleaning the toilet.

Of course, the method of using this powerful plant shouldn’t completely replace the routine toilet cleaning, but it does come in handy when you don’t have much time for scrubbing.

In order to maximize the cleanness and freshness of your toilet simply peel a clove of garlic and drop it in the toilet. You can use it as a whole or smashed.

Allow it to work overnight, unleashing its antibacterial power and give your toilet a scrub and flush it the following morning.

If you are in for some more toilet cleaning hacks, continue reading.

  1. Toilet Bowl Whitening with White Vinegar – I guess it’s common knowledge that white vinegar is good for cleaning, disinfecting, and even whitening the toilet base. This how to use it:
    • Pour a tablespoon of white vinegar into your toilet.
    • Let it soak for an hour.
    • Use a toilet brush to scrub away grime and hard-to-reach areas.
    • Rinse with clean water and dry the toilet with a cloth or paper towel.
    • Your toilet will be gleaming, and dirt will be a thing of the past. Simple and effective, isn’t it?
  2. Remove Brown Stains from the Toilet Bowl Using Dishwasher Tabs – If you think that dishwasher tabs are only perfect for cleaning glass and cutlery, you are wrong. This is how to use them for cleaning your toilet.
    • Flush the dishwasher tab down the toilet.
    • Let it work its magic, preferably overnight.
    • This efficient method will help remove stubborn stains effectively.
  3. Using Baking Soda for Cleaning the Toilet, and this is how:
    • Sprinkle one to two tablespoons of baking soda into the toilet bowl.
    • Wait a few minutes.
    • Scrub with a long-handled brush.
    • Flush, and you’ll be left with a sparkling clean toilet. This ingenious hack has gained a growing fanbase online.

If you want to get rid of the odor in your toilet use a mixture of baking soda and lemon as a natural air freshener.

To prepare the paste-like consistency, mix the same amount of soda and lemon in a bowl. Then, apply the paste to the toilet bowl and any hard-to-reach areas using a sponge. Scrub with a brush and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then wipe the toilet. If there are any stubborn stains, you can spray some vinegar while the paste is still on.

To enhance the air freshness in your toilet, you can always use essential oils. Simply drop a few drops of your favorite scent in the toilet bowl.

A couple at the church

If you are up to some good laughter, you are at the right place as the following story will surely make your day.

A husband and wife are at a church, listening to a lengthy ceremony. The wife can’t help herself but fall asleep. Her husband notices this and tries to wake her up by poking her with his finger.

As he touches her, the sermon asks a question about the gathering that had led the Israelites to freedom from slavery in Egypt. Startled awake, the woman shouts, “The Almighty!” before falling asleep yet again.

As the ceremony goes on, the husband pokes her once again just as the sermon asks about the one who had sacrificed for the forgiveness of their sins. The woman, all sleepy says, “Jesus Christ!”

When the sermon asked another question, her husband tried to wake her up for the third time now. However, the timing didn’t seem to be right as the question was “What words did Eve speak to Adam after the birth of their last child?” At this point, the wife was angry at her husband for constantly poking her with his finger so she exclaimed: “I swear, if you touch me with that again, I’ll snap it in half.”

Rebecca Boening, a woman from Texas, experienced health issues when her sugar levels dropped as she was placing an order at a Burger King drive-thru.

When the employee realized Rebecca was in need of help, she made sure she provided it to her despite being on the job during a busy day.

This is what Rebecca posted of the encounter which caught the attention of many.

“Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level.

Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food.

Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car.

She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream.

Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food.

She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better.”

“After my meal, I waited for a lull in activity so that I could go back to Tina’s window. After taking this photo, I spoke with Tina’s boss and thanked him for everything.”

We are grateful there are still people there like Tina who would do all in their power to help a person in need.

Kobe Bryant, Vanessa Bryant, Gianna Maria Onore Bryant and Natalia Diamante Bryant at the LA premiere of 'A Wrinkle In Time' held at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, USA on February 26, 2018.

Natalia Bryant walked down Versace’s iconic black-and-white checkered runway at the Versace Spring 2024 show during Milan Fashion Week on Friday.

The late Kobe Bryant’s daughter had her debut and her mother couldn’t be prouder of her.

“I’m so proud of you! You did it mama!!!! I love you so much and I’m so happy for you,” Vanessa Bryant captioned an Instagram photo of her daughter.

Natalia herself was super excited for taking part in a runway show of such a famous brand.

“I am beyond excited about making my runway debut,” she said. “It’s such an incredible opportunity, and I’m so grateful to Donatella (Versace) and am honored that she has invited me to be a part of something so special.”

She then credited her mom for her interest in fashion and honest opinion. “She keeps it real, and I know she always has my best interest at heart.” The 20-year-old added that her mother encouraged her to find her own style.

Natalia, who is student at the University of Southern California, was signed by IMG Models in 2021.

Speaking of her passion to finally pursue a career in the fashion industry, she said, “I wanted to start fresh and do my own thing without having to worry about comparing myself to anyone or setting myself to anyone’s standard.”

Natalia told Vogue that Donatella Versace herself invited her to be part of the show. “She was just so welcoming and sweet and made me feel so comfortable, especially with it being my first runway,” she said. “Meeting her definitely helped settle any nerves.”

When preparing for her debut, besides seeking advice from her mom, Natalia also drew inspiration from supermodels she admires, such as Naomi Campbell.

“I’ve always loved watching videos of Naomi walking down the runway along with videos of other iconic supermodels I look up to,” she said. “My mom says, ‘Walk like Naomi but remember to be yourself, put your own style to your walk and always with your head held high.’”

The show included supermodels such as Claudia Schiffer and Gigi Hadid.

Natalia is the eldest daughter of Vanessa and the late NBA superstar Kobe Bryant who died in a tragic helicopter crash in Calabasas in 2020 along with seven others. The couple also share daughters Gianna, Bianka and Capri. Gianna was with her father on the day of the crash and lost her life.

On March 15 this year, Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri were at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California, where the statue in Kobe Bryant’s honor was to be unveiled.

The handprints of the superstar legend that he had made in February 2011 were permanently displayed in the theatre’s public forecourt along with his ’24’ jersey. His younger daughters Bianka and Capri placed their hands on top of their fathers as well.

Natalia used the occasion to pay tribute to her late dad. “I’m honoured to be here today to recognise the man we all knew and love, my dad Kobe Bryant,” she said. “While most people knew him as a basketball player or a storyteller, I got to know and love him as my dad,” adding, “And let me tell you, he is the MVP of girl dads, to say the least.”

Here’s why you need to put a bay leaf in the mop bucket

In today’s world, when we are surrounded with easily accessible chemicals that affect our health, it’s sometimes a good idea to turn to the nature instead, and seek solutions to our problems there.

In the past, when there weren’t that many cleaning products out there, our great-grandparents used all natural ingredients in order to keep their homes clean.

One of the things they used is the bay leaf.

Besides its pleasant aroma, this plant is a game-changer when it comes to scrubbing and cleaning.

Using it for that purpose, it will act as a natural air freshener without all those synthetic fragrances found in commercial products.

At the same time, bay leaves possess both antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

If you decide to add some bay leaves into the water you use to mop your floors, you won’t be only cleaning, but you will be disinfecting as well. What’s most, the scent of bay leaves repels mosquitoes, flies, and other insects.

When dealing with tile and wood, the natural oils in bay leaves will act as natural polish, giving the floors showroom luster. On top of that, bay leaves are way too cheaper than any cleaning products found at stores.

In case you want to try them, this is how to mop using bay leaves.

Put water into the mop bucket.

Put in a few bay leaves.

Hold off for a while and let the beneficial properties of the leaves seep into the water.

Proceed with your regular mopping procedure.

If you try this and you like it, let us know.

Large Asian Hornet nests found in abandoned house promoting fresh warnings

Asian hornets, known as Vespa velutina nigrithorax, which are native to Southeast Asia have been found in an abandoned home in St Brelades, a town located on the Channel Island in the United Kingdom.

This species is considered invasive because of its ability to displace local hornet populations and wreak havoc on ecosystems by attacking the honeybees population. They can also be very aggressive towards humans.

The first time Asian hornets found their way into Europe was through a nest hidden abroad a ship. They were first spotted in the south of France from where they spread throughout the continent, including United Kingdom.

The Channel Islands, including St Brelades, are particularly susceptible to the presence of these hornets due to their proximity to mainland Europe.

Image Credit: Alistar Christie | BBC

The nest found in St Brelades marks 171 nests of Asian hornets found this year in the United Kingdom compared to the 71 found at this time last year.

Authorities have concerns that their ability to keep this species out of the country is slipping away.

They are issuing warnings for the citizens to be extra cautious in case they stumble upon a nest of Asian hornets.

Since the spread of these hornets is fast, people should learn how to effectively handle such situations.

The most common places they can be found are:

  • Houses and buildings
  • Nests in trees and shrubs
  • In orchards
  • Anywhere that they can find a warm place to hide during the winter months.

In case you stumble upon an Asian hornet nest, there are some thing to have in mind since they can get extremely aggressive in case their habitat is disturbed.

  1. Observe and Report: Do not try to remove it all by yourself since that requires appropriate expertise. Don’t even disturb them, as they can easily attack you. Instead, inform the local authorities and provide them with the exact location. If you live in the United Kingdon, you should contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency. They possess the right equipment and resources for dealing with Asian hornets.
  2. Maintain Distance: Don’t get near the nest because that can trigger an attack. In case you get attacked, have in mind that these insects’ sting is extremely painful.
  3. Educate Yourself: Get to know more about this insects as that can help in case you come across with them.
  4. Protect Your Property: If you are aware of the existence of a nest near your residence, make sure you do all in your power to prevent them from getting indoors. Fix any small cracks and don’t keep the windows and doors open.
  5. Seek Professional Assistance: Always contact professional pest control service in case you see an Asian hornet nest. They are the ones who would take care of the problem most effectively.

If we take precautions and seek professional assistance to deal with the Asian hornets, we help protect the ecosystem and those living around us.

Actress Hayden Panettiere is still mourning the loss of her brother Jansen who died in February aged 28.

On what would have been his 29th birthday, the Nashville alum paid tribute to him in a touching Instagram post.

“Happy Birthday little brother,” she captioned a throwback photo of the two on Christmas day as children. “I miss you everyday. I’ll love you forever ❤️”

Jansen, just like his older sister, was also part of the film industry. Among the rest, he appeared on Even Stevens, The Walking Dead and Racing Stripes.

The news of his passing shocked many. His friends discovered his lifeless body after he failed to show up for a meeting.

Reports are that Jansen’s buddies “raced to his home” after he missed the meeting he had booked. Upon arriving to his residence, one of his friends discovered Jansen “sitting in a chair, unresponsive,” so he dialed 911 and began CPR.

“Though it offers little solace, the Medical Examiner reported Jansen’s sudden passing was due to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), coupled with aortic valve complications,” the family said in a statement.

“Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his brilliant, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of life in his dry wit,” the statement continued. “His charisma, warmth, compassion for others, and his creative spirit will live forever in our hearts and in the hearts of all whom he encountered.”

At the time of his passing, a source told ET, “Hayden is absolutely heartbroken. She loved her brother unconditionally and the two shared a special bond.”

She and her brother were very close and shared a special bond.

She often shared photos of the two having fun together. Days before his loss, Hayden shared a black-and-white photo of herself giving him a haircut. They were both laughing.

Even before experiencing this tragic loss, Hayden had been struggling with addictions she gradually opened about.

In 2018, she gave the custody over her daughter to her ex-husband.

“The best thing for my kid was to make sure she was okay, take care of myself, and make sure I could be a good mom to her. And that sometimes means letting go,” she said at the time.

Our hearts go out to the Panettiere family during their time of grief.
