Expecting a child is a dream come true for many couples. However, it is not just the parents-to-be who are overjoyed over the new bundle of joy, but their families as well.
A woman named Leann learned she was going to be a first-time-mom and she was eager to share the happy news with her father. She told him he was going to be a grandfather, and he was over the moon.
However, there was something she didn’t tell him, and it was that she was expecting two children, not one.
A coupe of months later, as her pregnancy advanced, Leann and her husband visited her father and handed him a photo of the latest ultrasound which showed two babies.
The man took the ultrasound, and the moment he realized his daughter would be having twins was one of the most emotional we’ve ever witnessed.
The video of the revelation is a true pleasure to watch. It shows just how much our parents care for us, and how happy they are because of our happiness.
You can watch the joyous moment below!

The Sussexes’ decision to step down from their royal duties and leave Britain behind resulted in a rocky relationship between them and the rest of the royals.
Things turned for the worse following Harry and Meghan’s all-tell interview with Oprah Winfrey during which they made several accusations. Among the rest, they claimed that Kate made Meghan cry on the day of her wedding, something the Duke of Sussex confirmed in his memoir Spare.
What followed was the Netflix documentary in which Harry and Meghan revealed more information about his family and made plenty of accusations. However, while the members of the Firm didn’t respond to Harry’s words, it has been reported that they are not happy about him speaking of them during interviews, especially king Charles, who was said to be angry with his younger son for calling Camilla ‘dangerous’ and accusing her of leaking stories to the press.

When William and Harry met Camilla for the first time, William reportedly described the meeting as “awkward and tense.”
“I think the relationship between them all is warm now but if I’m honest, it wasn’t then. I think they found it hard,” a palace source told royal biographer Penny Junor, author of Prince William: Born to be King. “To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy but she was the ‘other woman’ and she was there and taking daddy’s time.”
Other experts claimed that initially, Harry wasn’t fond of Camilla either.

And now, Camilla wasn’t spared in Spare either.
Harry revealed in his memoir that he and his brother had pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla.
“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” Harry wrote in Spare. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”
He even wrote that he had asked himself if Camilla would be “just as cruel to him as all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” adding that William “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

In her book The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown wrote that Harry “unnerved” Camilla.
“When the younger boy was eventually prevailed upon to be in the presence of Mrs Parker Bowles, he unnerved her with long silences and smouldering, resentful stares,” she quoted a courtier saying.
Moreover – when it was announced that Camilla was to become Queen Consort – Tina Brown claimed that Harry wouldn’t accept it.
“William has accepted Camilla in terms of what she means to his father. He’s been grown-up about it. ‘My father loves this woman, I can’t fight it, so I won’t,’” she added.
“Harry, on the other hand, can’t stand Camilla, he doesn’t want Camilla to be Queen, he’s very angry that it’s happening. He has not made his peace with it, and he probably never will.
“If you are led to believe, as a member of the family, that being on the front page, having positive headlines, positive stories written about you, is going to improve your reputation or increase the chances of you being accepted as monarch by the British public, then that’s what you’re gonna do.”

However, although Charles is angry at his son, he’s still his father, and everyone still believes that the two could made amends.
During the visit of the University of East London’s Stratford campus for its 125th anniversary, the King unveiled a plaque to celebrate the opening of its new hospital and care take area. That’s when a person from the crowd shouted, “Bring back Harry please, can you please bring him back please, Sir,” as reported by Express.
King Charles asked who the man was talking about, to what the man said, “Harry, your son.”
Charles’ response caused emotions. The monarch was reported to have said, “It would be nice.”

Harry and Charles tried making things right several times in the past, but it seemed the attempts were to no avail.
As Harry will be in attendance for this year’s Invictus Games in Germany next month, on September 17, the OK! magazine’s source claims peace talks will reportedly be held there.
“King Charles is due to return to London from Balmoral in the middle of September, which ties with the end of Harry’s Invictus Games trip to Dusseldorf,” the source told OK!
“The King has a rescheduled official visit to France on September 20 so has a few days to spare in London to meet with his son. Staff are trying to fine-tune the details as we speak,” the source adds.
We truly hope that Harry and his dad would do all in their power to reconcile and reconnect.

Mark Wahlberg can brag with an impressive Hollywood career.
However, besides being a famous name in the world of film, and being married to a former Victoria Secret model, The Fighter star is also a devoted Catholic.
In fact, Wahlberg speaks of his faith often and says he starts every day with a prayer.
“I take two days a week off from the gym now,” he told MSN News. “I don’t take a day off from getting on my hands and my knees, from reading my prayer book and my daily devotionals.
“I pray for the patience,” Wahlberg added. “I want to be an example, with my work ethic, with my commitment to my faith, with my commitment to my family.
“I’ve been put in this position for a reason, it’s not to forget about where I came from. I have to utilize these talents and gifts that have been given to me to help others.”
Further, the actor said how he remains devoted to his religion despite the faith’s unpopularity in Hollywood.
On Ash Wednesday, Wahlberg appeared wearing ashes in the shape of a cross, symbolizing his participation in Lent.
The actor explained Lent’s fasting as detaching from hindering habits for spiritual growth, mentioning his plan to abstain from meat and have one meal from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday.

Joseph Kennedy, a football coach for the Bremerton School District in Washington state, was terminated from his coaching position back in 2015 after he reportedly refused to stop giving speeches containing religious references and for praying with the players.
Initially, Kennedy prayed by himself, but then students and players started joining him. That’s when the school board received complaints that some athletes actually felt pressured to join in.
Kennedy pursued a legal action against the district. The legal battle lasted eight years, after which the Supreme Court eventually ruled Kennedy to be rehired for the upcoming season and to be paid a $1.7 million settlement from the Bremerton School District in Washington State.
“Mr. Kennedy will be an assistant football coach for Bremerton High School for the 2023 season,” the district said on its official website.
The U.S. Supreme Court previously secured Kennedy’s right to pray with students as protected by the First Amendment.
School board president Alyson Rotter said: “We look forward to moving past the distraction of this nearly eight-year legal battle so that our school community can focus on what matters most: providing our children the best education possible.”
Speaking to the Daily Mail following the verdict, Kennedy said: “It is just incredible to know that I did nothing wrong. Everything I did was fine.
“I had a commitment with God that I’d give him thanks after every football game, win or lose.”
He added: “And that’s the way I started out.”

Over the course of our lives, it is our parents who we usually turn to whenever we face any difficulties because those are the people we trust the most. But what happens when we lose out trust in them because of various reasons.
One person faced a dilemma concerning his parents. Namely, he took to Reddit to ask fellow users for advice after he found out that his father was having an affair.
His parents’ marriage seemed picture perfect, so this discovery was a shocking one.
He knew if he spoke to his mother, it could mean the end of his parents’ marriage.
The user explained that he let things go for some time. He entered graduate school and turned to his studies and just hopes his dad would end the affair in the meantime, but that’s not what happened.
Whenever he would ask for his dad’s phone, the dad would turn the data off so that he won’t receive any messages, which was an obvious reason he was still seeing that other woman.
The user explained that he didn’t want his mom to be lied to, but he was also aware that the truth could crush her.
On the other hand, his dad was the perfect father who did all in his power to provide the family a beautiful life. He and his dad had a very close bond, so speaking to his mom about the affair before confronting his dad first could feel like a betrayal.
The user didn’t even speak to his brother about that, and asked the online community for some thoughts.
“At the end of the day, I know it’s on me to make the choice I think would possibly be the right one,” he wrote.
Users wrote that whatever he decides to do and whatever the outcome, he shouldn’t feel responsible for a potential breakup of the family and he shouldn’t feel responsible.
Others suggested that he speaks to his mother and relieve himself from the mental load and the pressure. Some added that he should speak to his father first.
In any case, most of the comments were that he needs to put an end to the misery of keeping such a secret for such a long time.

Al Roker, the longtime Today show anchor and our favorite weatherman, turned 69 years old on August 20.
Having in mind he has undergone several health scares over the course of the last 10 months, Al is happy to be celebrating another birthday surrounded by those he loves, his family and his many fans.
As always, he shared the joy of the day with his followers and thanked them for the support he received during the tough times he had faced. He also expressed his gratitude for the birthday wishes.
“Grateful for another trip around the sun,” he wrote in the caption.
“Good morning everybody, I hope you’re having a great Sunday. This is my 69th anniversary of orbiting the sun, and after everything I went through at the end of last year, I am more than grateful to be celebrating this birthday,” the weatherman started the video, referring to the health issues he experienced at the end of last year.
Back in November, 2022, Roker was admitted to hospital because of blood clots. Following concerns raised by his fans, Roker decided to share with them the reasons behind his absence from the show.
“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been,” he began his post. “Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs.” He then added that he was in a process of recovery, but some time later, his condition worsened and he was forced to return to the hospital once again. For the first in years, he was forced to miss the Thanksgiving Parade.
Earlier this year, he came back to the show and spoke candidly of his health condition, admitting something his fans weren’t aware of up until that moment.
This wasn’t the first time for the TV personality to experience health issues. Two years ago, he revealed he’d been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had to have an organ removed. On top of it, he had undergone several surgeries to help him with his hip and knees issues.
His wife, Deborah Roberts, also spoke of Al’s hospitalization, saying, “This was terrifying at every minute.
“It was like the worst roller coaster ride you have ever been on.” Luckily, Al Roker lived to tell his story.
“To all of you who sent good wishes and well wishes over this past year, God bless you, thank you so much, I really appreciate it,” he continued in his birthday video.
The weatherman added just how grateful he is for his TODAY family and his own family.
Speaking of his health, Al says that it was his walking habit that helped him stay alive and encouraged his fans to get outside and spend time in the nature. That is why fans were thrilled to see him taking a walk while taking the video on his 69th birthday.
Happy birthday, Al Roker, and many more to come.

Tori Spelling and her children have been in and out of hospital for the past couple of months and as the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum said, they have all been feeling dizzy and then better, and then worse again.
“Here we are again at Urgent Care,” Spelling began alongside a photo of them in a hospital room. “We’ve all been on this continual spiral of sickness for months. Sick. Get better. To get sick again. Used to think… well that’s what happens when you have young kids in school. They just continually bring sicknesses home.”
“When it gets to the point where they are at home sick more than being in school we had to reassess what was going on. Kids will be kids but when you have your youngest (10 and 6) so sick they are sleeping all day and say they feel dizzy even standing I knew something bigger was going on,” Spelling continued.
With a photo of herself wearing a hospital bracelet and receiving IV, Spelling shared with her fans that she has been in the hospital for four days now.
She didn’t go into details but wrote that she misses her children, adding that she is “grateful and so proud of my strong, brave, resilient, and kind to the core children who remain positive no matter what comes our way.”
Months after being in and out of hospital, Spelling revealed the reason behind the dizziness and feeling unwell.
“Enter Mold inspection,” Spelling wrote. “Thanks to Sean at Pacific Scope Inspections who came out and discovered extreme mold in our home.”
“The pieces all started to fall into place. Has anyone ever been thru Mold Infections? You just keep getting sick, one infection after another. Respiratory infections. Extreme allergy like symptoms too and like my poor Finn skin rashes as well. As we sit here today in Urgent Care … watching everyone getting swabbed and first up Finn with Strep throat and high fever of 103. We now know that when the house was labeled a health hazard and not liveable that wording was FACT. We now GET IT!”
Recently, the actress has been posting photos of herself, her children, and her mom, saying those are the people who make her happy. What many notice is that her husband of 18 years, whom Spelling allegedly separated with, is nowhere to be seen.
In fact, her husband Dean, whom Spelling shares five children with, posted that the two were separating just to delete the post moments later.
“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that Tori Spelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own,” Dean wrote alongside photographs of himself and Spelling and their kids.
“We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time,” he continued. “We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness.”
There have been many reports that Kate Middleton wasn’t among the most popular students when she was a teenager. What’s most, she hated her first school, although her parents paid a bunch of money for her to study there.
Kate was sent to the all-girls boarding school Downe House for which her parents paid around £28,000 pounds in tuition. Sadly, that didn’t turn out to be the best decision as Kate experienced a very hard time there. According to her former classmates, she was often teased and bullied and she felt like she didn’t fit there.

A friend at a later school, Gemma Williamson, previously told the Daily Mail, “Apparently, she had been bullied very badly, and she certainly looked thin and pale. She had very little confidence.” Kate’s former classmate Emma Sayle said the princess hated that her school was “cliquey.”
“It is a very cliquey school, and there was a lot of pressure,” she told RSVP Live, as quoted by Express.
“The girls were all high achievers, and there were lots of girls with eating disorders. Everyone wanted to be the best, the fittest, the prettiest. I think Kate was miserable from the start.”
“Being especially slender and a head taller than her peers, she stood out for the wrong reasons and was teased for being gangly and lanky,” royal expert Katie Nicholl added.

At some point in her life, when she started dating William, Kate was mocked by his friends.
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.

One time, people referred to Kate’s family as to “the en masse Middletons.” This was because the family would show up to an event in a “pristine” Land Rover, bringing with them all the things that come with an upper-class picnic.
On her first job, a deckhand at a yacht, the colleagues pranked Kate.
One of her duties was giving the passengers a safety demonstration before entering the yacht, including how the life jackets worked.
But one time that was about to go down, Kate’s colleagues played a prank on her. She, however, stayed professional.

“When she pulled the toggle, the thing inflated, and a load of condoms fell out,” Cal Tomlinson, who used to work with Kate, recalled in Katie Nicholls’ book Kate: The Future Queen, as reported by the Mirror.
“She was mortified and very embarrassed. She took it more seriously than the others might have, but she wasn’t thrown off her stride.”
Tomlinson added, “She was angry at first, but she settled down, and I don’t remember her ever getting them back.”
Well, we guess she did get them back by becoming a Princess and one of the most loved members of the Palace.
