Meghan ‘doesn’t want’ Archie and Lilibet to meet King Charles as she blames him for their royal exit, reports are

Whether the royals like it or not, Lilibet and Archie, Harry and Meghan’s children, are now holding the titles of Prince and Princess. These titles have been given to them recently, but they had the right on them following the passing of Queen Elizabeth.

The little ones attracted the attention of many following the release of the Netflix documentary about the Sussexes where photos and videos of Lili and Archie have been featured. Until that moment, their parents didn’t share many details about their children and wanted to keep them out of the spotlight, which was one of the reasons why they split from the British royalty back in the day.

The decision to accept the titles for their children, which are their birth right, wasn’t embraced by everyone.

Royal expert Angela Levin argued that it might have an unwanted impact on Archie and Lilibet’s futures.

“It will take a long time for little Lilibet to realise the extent of the burden her parents have placed on her young shoulders,” Levin told Sky News. She added that by giving their daughter a princess title, Harry and Meghan have now “glued her to the British Royal Family,” the same establishment they have criticized for many years.

“Why on earth would you want your daughter to experience such anguish?” Angela Levin said, adding that Lilibet’s everyday life will be more challenging since she has the princess title attached to her name.”

“Little girls obviously love being a princess at parties, but if Lilibet is the only one in the class who is a real princess, it could lead to jealousy that could easily be avoided,” the royal expert concluded.

Others believe that Harry and Meghan could benefit financially from their children’s titles.

“You wouldn’t be wrong if you look at this and think about the branding,” Sarah Hewson said. “When they said they wanted to distance themselves from the family, they wanted to have a private life, when Archie was born, I remember vividly being told they wanted him to be Master Archie, now he is Prince, and Lilibet is Princess,” Hewson added.

Another royal expert, palace insider Richard Eden, believes that the timing of the announcement regarding Lili’s and Archie’s royal titles is ‘revenge’ against Charles and Camilla.

“It does strike me as revenge by Harry and Meghan. What we’ve seen is two big developments over the past week. Last week it emerged that they’re being evicted from their only British home, which they described as their forever home at Frogmore Cottage,” Eden said.

“Then we also learnt that Camilla’s grandchildren were going to have roles at the coronation. Both things I think will have upset Harry and Meghan. They’ll be thinking, ‘What can we do to have our revenge?’ and that’s making sure that their children can have these two titles.”

When it comes to the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royalty, it’s still a rocky one.

Many expect the coronation to be a reason for them to try and mend things between them, but so far, it is unknown whether they will attend it. Rumors are that Harry will be there to support his father while Meghan and the kids will stay in California.

According to reports, Harry and Meghan have been invited, but their children’s names weren’t on the invitation because they are too young to attend the event. However, now that Lili and Archie hold royal titles, Meghan believes that they have the right to be there as much as their cousins, George, Charlotte, and Louis, sources claim.

“More than likely, Meghan will be the one to decide that they will offer an olive branch,” psychotherapist Eduardo Omeltech told Express.

“But at the moment, she doesn’t want the children to see their grandfather, as she feels he is to blame for them having to leave the Royal Family. It will probably be a decision that she makes quite quickly and spontaneously, but once she has made that decision, Harry will go along with what she wants,” he added.

Since the coronation is expected to take place on the day of Archie’s birthday, Harry and Meghan allegedly asked their son’s birthday to be recognized.

“Archie’s birthday falls on May 6, coronation day, and the Sussexes want the family to recognise that,” a source told OK!.

“The Sussexes have asked for some kind of celebration or acknowledgement to be factored into the day’s plans to ensure that his fourth birthday won’t get lost during the momentous day.”

According to the Mirror, Harry and Meghan have asked to be included on the balcony after the coronation procession back to the Palace in case they attend the event. They were also said to have asked to stay at Frogmore Castle, their former home they got evicted from by King Charles.

“Harry’s concerns over security, which will not be helped by his revelations about the number of Taliban insurgents he personally killed, may also be a factor as he has a case pending against the Home Office on this issue,” royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Mail.

Jamie Farr looks ‘great’ at 88 and says prayer changed his life

Most of the actors and actresses in Hollywood have impressive stories to share of their beginnings in the world of film. Some had it easy, and others struggled to find their spot under the sky of the place where dreams come true.

Jamie Farr, best known for portraying the role of the cross-dressing Corporal turned Sergeant Maxwell Q. Klinger in the CBS television sitcom M*A*S*H, belongs to the latter.

Farr fell in love with acting from early age when he made jokes in the face of his peers from Toledo who made fun of his nose.

Being born to parents who owned a grocery store and installed moral values in him, Farr somehow knew he could make it big if he believed in himself enough. On top of that, he also believed in God and it was his faith that opened doors for him in the film industry.

“… I believed God had called me to be an actor, to entertain – even help – people. And I’d worked hard at it,” he once said.

Namely, Farr took some acting lessons at the Pasadena Playhouse in California after he was cast in the 1992 production of Guys and Dolls. However, after this role he was deployed to Japan and Korea and when he returned home, his future in the industry was uncertain.

But one person who never lost faith in him and his talent has been his then girlfriend and now a wife of 60 years, Joy Richards. Farr couldn’t allow to buy her a ring at the time, but the two knew they were meant for each other.

He visited church very often and asked God to answer his prayers. And then, one day, God answered.

Farr learned that a new studio would be opening and producing a movie about the life of Jesus titled The Greatest Story Ever Told. He immediately called his agent and said, “Meyer, they’re putting on this movie about the Bible. Look, with my great Middle-Eastern face, there’s got to be a part in it for me.” Sadly, the studio initially said they didn’t want him, but then they changed their mind and offered him the role of Nathaniel Bartholomew. Shortly after, they changed the role and gave him that of Apostle Thaddeus who Farr later learned was Jude Thaddeus–Saint Jude, the Apostle of the Hopeless, and the figure Farr had been directing all of his prayers to.

When Farr finally asked Richards to marry him in 1963, he looked up at Jesus’s apostles and found St. Jude during the church ceremony. “I like to think that he was my best man,” he said.

Today, Farr is 88 years old and he’s still married to his wife and enjoys a beautiful career.

“I do so enjoy life that I’d hate to leave it,” he said in an interview in 2011.

Walmart customer spots shirt with hidden vulgar message – people can’t believe it was being sold in store

One of the latest t-shirt designs sold by Walmart was supposed to spread a message of awareness of the importance of recycling, reusing, renewing, and rethinking, but it turned out people saw a ‘hidden’ message which caused a lot of laughter and forced the store to stop selling the shirt in question.

The design showed the four words being written with the letters ‘RE’ capitalized.

In fact, the offensive word is spotted if you read the first letters of each of the words vertically.

This came to the attention of many after a customer snapped and posted a photo of the shirt asking if others can see the ‘hidden’ word. In no time, the photo went viral and had many react to it in the same manner; with laughter. And as many spotted the word right away, there were also those who needed more time to understand what the ‘catch’ was.

“This took me longer to get than i’d like to admit…,” one user commented. “Bahahaha! Brillliant – I need one too,” one user wrote.

Once Walmart learned their shirt got popular on Twitter, they were fast to react. The store issued a statement clarifying that the shirt has only been available in their Canada store. “The shirt was only sold at Walmart Canada locations and has been removed from stores,” they wrote. But although the shirt could not be bought in store, it was still available to be purchased online.

At least it made many laugh.

Missing woman discovered alive in Jeep submerged in large Texas lake

This incredible story starts with a call to the Marion County Sheriff Office about a vehicle spotted in a large lake in Marion County, Texas. Some fishermen were at the lake when they noticed the submerged Jeep and alerted the authorities. However, what they didn’t know was that they would save the life of a missing woman that day.

It took around 18 minutes for the deputies to arrive, and the tow truck took a little longer to get to the scene. The vehicle was away from shore, some 40 feet out in the water from Woody’s Camp Boat Ramp.

However, once the tow truck came and they started pulling the Jeep out, they realized there was a moving person inside. This was an incredible sight to witness. They had no idea how the woman could still be alive.

She was taken to the hospital and it was then that it was discovered she had been listed as a missing person from the Longview Texas Police Department. “We do not know how long the Jeep was in the water,” Capt. Chuck Rogers, an investigator at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, told NPR.

The identity and the condition of the woman in question remain unknown.

There are still a lot of questions authorities need to find answers to, such as how the Jeep ended up in the water and how long it was there before it was spotted.

“There was nothing uncovered during the investigation to suggest this case was anything more than an accident,” Capt. Chuck Rogers said.

This woman is lucky to be alive. She had her guardian angel looking over her.

‘It felt like my organs were being crushed,’ said a 20-year-old woman from Florida after having a 100-pound ovarian cyst

Allison Fisher, a 20-year-old woman from Florida, is lucky to be given the chance for a ‘second life,’ after she was diagnosed with a huge ovarian cysts.

Her health issues started in 2020, when she started experiencing constant stomach pain. Along with that, her periods became unpredictable and irregular. This raised a red flag. It was obvious something was wrong, but she was hesitant about visiting a doctor because she believed they would tell her it is related to her weight.

“I let myself believe that if I ignored it, it would go away,” Allison told Action New Jax. “I was scared. I was just really scared.”

“[Growing up,] regardless of what I was there for—whether it was a cold or an ear infection, I was always told, ‘you need to lose weight. You need to lose weight,'” she explained. “If no one’s going to listen to me, if they’re always gonna tell me I need to lose weight, then what’s the point of going? What’s the point of listening to my body?”

Over time, she noticed something growing on her stomach. Having stumbled upon articles about ovarian cysts before, she assumed her ‘rock hard’ stomach could be a result of one, and she was right.

“I felt like I was pregnant with 10 kids,” she explained. “I couldn’t lay on my stomach. It felt like all my organs were being crushed.”

Ascension Healthcare

Sadly, the cyst grew so big that it started putting pressure on her lungs, affecting her breathing.

Eventually, somewhere around Christmas, 2022, a gynecologic oncology surgeon at Ascension St. Vincent’s, Dr. Martin Martino, told Allison that she was carrying a cyst which was 100 pounds big. It needed to be surgically removed as soon as possible.

“What was really interesting, is that once we removed it, we looked at the other ovary because now we could see it, and the left ovary was twisted three times. That [the left ovary] was about 10 centimeters that really helped us to be able to untwist it and save [Fisher’s] future fertility, and the chance to have kids.” Dr. Martino explained.

Ascension Healthcare

Luckily, the surgery was successful and Allison was given a second chance.

I can see my feet again; I haven’t been able to do that in years, I can stand a little bit longer. I feel so much lighter, like a person, I can wear clothes; I can do things that normal people can do. Now, moving forward, I am in the beginning stages of weight-loss surgery, and I am really excited for what life has in store for me,” she shared. Allison hopes her story will serve as a reminder that we should see a doctor whenever we feel unwell. “There are other people out there who are in my shoes, other bigger people, who are just so scared to go to the doctor because of their weight,” she added. “I just want them to know that they shouldn’t be scared.”

We are happy everything turned out for the best for Allison.

Gracie McGraw, daughter of Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and the truth about her diagnosis

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are one of the most beautiful celeb couples we know. They have been married for 26 years now and have three stunning daughters who are now all grown up and resemble their stunning mother a lot.

Gracie Katherine is 25, Maggie Elizabeth is 24, and Audrey Caroline is 20.

Fans of the musicians say they are glad the stars installed in their daughters the life values they themselves live by, and that’s love, honesty, devotion, and helping others.

”As a parent, you do not want to stand in the way of their dreams,” Faith told AOL a few years ago. ”You want to protect them; you want to make sure they aren’t disappointed…Sometimes, it’s better to let your children go through things on their own and let them experience it instead of saying, ‘Don’t do it this way, or you must do it this way.’”

In 2022, Gracie was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), which is a very common hormone problem for women of childbearing age, and she has been updating her fans of her condition every now and then.

“I just wanted to share really quick that I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). To get the correct diagnosis you would need 2 out of the 5 characteristics of PCOS and I had 3,” she shared on her social media.

“During my appointment with my endocrinologist I realized that may had been a factor in my issues with weight, so we decided to try a medicine to regulate my body more normally and create the tools to continue to keep my body and myself healthy as I get older,” she added.

Further, Gracie explained, “I’m learning to navigate the new blemishes but I don’t think that I would have ever allowed myself to go to a doctors appointment like this unless I had taken the correct steps toward my mental health, because as much as physical health is important, mental goes hand and hand.”

Some of the symptoms of PCOS are lack of ovulation, small cysts on the ovaries, irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, infertility, and weight gain.

“I share my experience to hope my situation has reached someone who can relate. P.S The medicine I’m taking has given me a body I haven’t had in years (maybe ever?). It’s weird to navigate but I’m finding ways to love her,” Gracie wrote, and her fans praised her for speaking up of the condition. And as most of her fans believe she’s beautiful, there have also been those who mock her for her body shape and her weight. But Gracie knows exactly what to tell her haters.

“Today I looked in the mirror and was feeling fine about myself. I ended up going to a store and picked up a the largest size they had in a dress, which was an 8 btw (bs) I wear a 10, and the lady who was working in the store literally took the dress out of my hands and said ‘that’s not going to fit you’,” she wrote in the beginning of the caption. “Well first, duh because idk it’s not my size??, and second the fact that she literally took the dress out of my hands and verbally told me that I was too big for it really made me upset,” she wrote on Instagram.

“It didn’t only make me upset that she was basically calling me too big but it mostly made me upset because so many stores do this, they only put smaller sizes out and then when you try on their bigger sizes they don’t even go above your knees,” she continued. “I’ve been wearing the same jean size for two or three years now and every time I try a new brand OR EVEN THE SAME ONE I PREVIOUSLY OWN, the size 30 is somehow smaller even if my own body has stayed the same size. It’s not just pants, it’s literally EVERYTHING.”

Gracie doesn’t only receive support from her fans, but from her family too, especially her father whom she is really close to. “Gracie, our oldest daughter, is an actress in L.A., and she makes me proud every day because she’s such a strong, independent young lady who speaks her mind,” Tim said of his daughter.

Oklahoma liquor store faced backlash over ‘offensive’ sign

Nowadays, people get offended by anything. Sometimes, they have all the right to be, but other times, they just exaggerate and act like attention-seekers. It is up to you to decide whether the people who got offended by these store signs were right or not.

A liquor store in Oklahoma, Midwest Wine, and Spirits, faced some backlash after they put up a sign which read: “Pull your pants up or don’t come in.”

This made many angry because they believed the store didn’t have the right to tell people what to wear.

The sign vent viral quickly and media outlets asked the owners to tell them what made them put such a sing, to what one of the managers of the establishment, Chad Gilbert, said. “I realize wearing pants low is a fashion statement for some, but it doesn’t work for me and I find it somewhat offensive.”

The sign further read, “Try to have some decency and respect for others. No one wants to see your underwear.”

One of the customers, Sunshine Weatherby, said, “I can see that if it was like a church. There are families there, you might have a problem with that, but this is a liquor store. I’ve seen worse at a liquor store.” However, and employee mentioned that wearing low-hanging pants raised security concerns as well. “Usually, when people come in with their pants sagging, it’s easier for them to steal bottles,” she said.

Other stores faced similar backlash in the past because of their signs which many weren’t fond of because of one reason or another.

A store put up a sign saying they were closed because they were forced to fire both of their cashiers who happened to be teenagers so the owners were now looking for boomers instead of someone who belonged to the Generation Z. “News flash: All teenagers have always acted this way. It’s nothing new. Even the boomers when they were young,” a Reddit user commented. “Cracks me up that they think boomers would be less entitled than Gen-Z,” another added.

Yet another similar story comes from KFC Ohio who posted a sign back in 2016 saying, “All uniformed police officers eat free every day all day.”

This way, they wanted to show their gratitude to the police officers for everything they do for the community, but many found this inappropriate because as they said, firefighters, who have similar impact on society, were excluded from the list.

To address the public outrage against this alleged ‘offensive sign’, the admin of Ohio Going Blue responded, “This is a positive post, but some of you can’t see the bigger picture. As an officer, I do not go into any establishment expecting/wanting ANYTHING to be free or let alone even a discount. Whether I’m in uniform or not, I can tell you other officers feel the same way. We don’t like “special treatment”. The fact is that KFC is acknowledging law enforcement, which is why this was posted. To those who stated that other first responders should also be acknowledged. My answer? ABSOLUTELY.”

What are your thoughts on this?

Val Kilmer’s kids post pictures, his son looks exactly like him

After much anticipation, the sequel of the iconic film Top Gun was finally released in May, 2022. Top Gun: Maverick came to life 36 years since we first saw Tom Cruise in the role of Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a young naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, and surpassed the original film both critically and commercially.

To the delight of many, most of the roles were reprised by the original actors, and that included Val Kilmer in the role of Lt. Tom “Iceman” Kazansky.

During the last years, Kilmer suffered some serious issues.

In 2015, Kilmer underwent a surgery due to throat cancer and lost his natural voice. When asked what he truly misses about his old voice, he said, “That I had one! That I didn’t laugh like a pirate.”

Sadly, he’s still suffering consequences from the cancer treatments.

Kilmer was supposed to appear in Disney+’s relaunch of Willow, in which he would have reprised his 1988 portrayal but his health prevented him from doing so.

Speaking of filming Top Gun: Maverick, Kilmer said he was excited to be on-screen with Tom Cruise again, adding that meeting Tom again “was like no time had passed at all.” 

As his fans were eager to see their favorite actor’s performance in the cult action film, it looked like Kilmer’s children, Mercedes and Jack, were most excited of all.

His daughter posted pictures from set with the caption, “Finally allowed to post these pics from the @topgunmovie set. Maverick out now!”

This isn’t the first time for the Heat star’s children to share photos of themselves and their famous father. What’s most, the resemblance between Jack and young Val is uncanny.

It is always a pleasure to witness our favorite celebrities sharing precious moments with their families.
