When the trust is broken, nothing can ever be the same.
Mark started raising suspicions when his wife Lisa decided to take solo fishing trips. Somehow, Mark knew that this need to spend time away from him had something to do with their neighbor Sam, who was also an affectionate fisherman.
One day, Lisa posted what seemed like an innocent photo online, but there was something on it that convinced Mark that he had all the right to suspect his wife was involved with Sam.
On the photo, Lisa was proudly holding a branded fishing rod that Mark knew belonged to Sam. When he confronted his wife, she denied having anything to do with their neighbor and claimed she only borrowed the fishing rod, but Mark’s gut told him she wasn’t telling the truth.
He thought long and hard and realized he couldn’t get over the fact that his trust in his wife was completely shaken. He pondered the importance of transparency in a relationship and knew it lacked from his and his wife’s.
Eventually, he decided to file for divorce.
Lisa’s photo marked the beginning of the end of their relationship and became the catalyst for the collapse of their trust.
This story is yet another proof that marital bonds can be broken easily when there are hidden truths between the partners.

Having a successful career in the film industry isn’t something many can brag about, but luckily for us, Tom Selleck is one of those celebs who has been on TV for many years.
This actor’s big break came when he was cast in the lead role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I., which brought him five Emmy Award nominations, winning one in 1985.
Magnum P.I. came at the time when he was almost ready to give up chasing a career as an actor. “I think if Magnum hadn’t worked out, I’d never have worked again in this business,” he shared in an interview with Closer Weekly.
Recently, Selleck opened up about Donald Trump and what he did for the country during his presidency.
“I’m completely sure that he is the best so far. I’m saying I like this guy.”
“He’s an answer to our problems. We need to get behind him. The Republicans need to unite behind this man. We need somebody to go in and reconstruct us in a sort of way, get us back to where we were, who we need to be.”
He continued: “Donald is funny, playful, and colorful, but most of all, he is honest. When he decided to run for president, I know he did it with a true conviction to bring this country back to prosperity. He is the only one who can do it. No frills, no fuss, only candid truths.”
“I am very disappointed at the talk show hosts, also spewing out lies and propaganda against Donald. Why, I wonder? The only thing I can think of is he represents a form of freedom none of them ever saw before, and they are bewildered about it, and frightened about it.
“I would say “f*ck you” to all of them. To all that are criticizing him for no reason and want him to resign for no reason. Just go to hell all of you!”

“I pray all Americans who have seen and felt the meltdown of America with the Obama years, to please fight for Donald Trump. He will not let us down. I pray for all good people to see clearly what faces us now. The right vote will save our nation.”
Further, Selleck pointed out Trump‘s capacity to retain an inspirational demeanor despite the fact that he’s been attacked and assaulted from each side.

Since it was revealed by photography experts that the photo Kate Middleton shared on Mother’s Day was manipulated, she’s been in hot water.
The photo in question featured the princess posing on the patio with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis surround her. They are all smiling and look absolutely adorable.
“Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day,” the caption on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account read. It was signed “C,” meaning Kate herself had written it.
As expected, the photo was shared worldwide and was picked up but every single media outlet out there.
The comments under the photo came pouring in with a great number of people wishing Kate a speedy recovery.

According to some royal experts, Kate opted to post a photo in order to put a stop to the speculations surrounding her surgery and her recovery.
“They [Kensington Palace] are trying to send a clear message to both the public and the press to respect Kate’s privacy on this medical matter,” royal historian Kate Williams said. “What they’re trying to say is Kate is recovering, she’s fine, no more worries, no more panic, no more speculation.”
She added: “I think the last thing they [Kensington Palace] want is for her to feel she can’t go out and walk in case she’s going to be photographed.”
Shortly after the photo of the happy family was released, some started questioning its authenticity because as they claimed, the photo was obviously edited.
“Professional photographer here. Look closely at Princess Charlotte’s wrist. This is what happens when you composite layers in Photoshop. I’m not speculating on why the photo was edited like this, but it’s weird,” portrait photographer Martin Bamford wrote on X.

This led The Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and Agence France-Press to issue “kill notices,” which are advisory notices to remove or not use a specific photo.
“It appears that the source has manipulated the image,” the Associated Press notification read.
They also released a statement, saying, “The Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.”
Kate posted on X that she was the one who edited the photo, and royal experts say the Palace letting her take the blame means throwing her under the bus.
“I’m just so sad and sort of frustrated about the whole thing because I feel so sorry for Catherine,” royal expert and author Richard Eden said. “Essentially, she’s been under so much pressure from people saying ‘We want a photo, we want to know how she is, tell us how she is.’ And she finally issues this photograph, it’s taken by Prince William.. They make that clear when they issue the photograph.”
According to him, they treated Kate disgracefully.
“The officials made it public. They gave it out, it’s their job. I think it’s absolutely disgraceful that they’ve said to her ‘you go and explain what you did’. No, it’s your job. Take some responsibility,” Eden added.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if heads do roll over this, if not now… then eventually. Heads could roll, heads have rolled for lesser offences I’ve seen over the years.”

This issue made the media question the authenticity of the photographs shared by the Palace over the years.
“In editorial photography, photojournalists and editors commonly adjust a photograph’s exposure or color balance in order to more accurately reflect the scene. Most news organizations, including CNN, regard it as unacceptable to move, change or manipulate the pixels of an image. To do so would alterthe reality of the situation the image is intended to document,” CNN announced.
Some even reviewed the photographs of Harry and Meghan, claiming the photographs of the pregnancy announcement taken by Misan Harriman was also altered.
Harriman, however, shared the original colorized shot of the Sussexes, saying he expected a “full apology and retraction” from the Daily Mail and the Telegraph for their allegations.
Following Kate’s surgery, it was reported that Harry and Meghan reached out to her and showed their support. They also contacted King Charles, but they didn’t make any public comments regarding the health condition of neither of them.

But now, when Harriman re-shared their photo from 2021, a source told Page Six, “This isn’t a mistake Meghan would ever make; she has a keen eye and freakish attention to detail.”
The source suggested that “if Harry and Meghan had ever encountered the same issue, they would have been annihilated” and added: “The same rules do not apply to both couples.”
However, after this was published, Harry and Meghan decide to react as quickly as possible.
“With respect to Page Six, that did not come from us,” a spokesperson from the couple’s Archewell Foundation told Newsweek.
Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain silent, many believe they are partially to be blamed for the fuss around Kate because when they stepped down from their royal duties they shared plenty of things about the royal family and now the public expects from the rest of the members of the Firm to do the same as though it is something normal to expose their private lives to the media.

Many royal experts, among which Jennie Bond, believe that Kate should not be pressured to the extend she is during the past couple of months.
“The pressure has doubled and redoubled. I think she’s in a fragile mental and physical state. We should lay off her,” Bond told GB News.
“I do think we are in danger of bulling a lady who is trying to recover from a very serious operation. I think of how she must be feeling this morning. Absolutely miserable. I think her Mother’s Day was obviously ruined by this row.”

Ever since she became part of the royal family, Kate Middleton has been a much loved person and a fascinating public figure.
She is an exceptional woman who seems to be carrying a lot of weight on her shoulders, especially now that she received the title Princess of Wales. Being a Princess, a mother, and a future Queen, or Queen Consort at least, she has her hands busy at all times, but she still manages to perform everything with excellence.
Among the rest, Kate Middleton is known to be passionate about photography.
What’s most, she even offered to take the first photos of baby Archie, Harry and Meghan’s first born son, but her offer was rejected by the Duchess of Sussex. Instead, Meghan wanted to hire a professional photographer.
“This was a very special gesture from the now-Princess of Wales to Meghan Markle when she had her first child, Archie,” royal expert Neil Sean said in a Youtube video, as reported by Express. He added that Kate offered to “take the personal picture of baby Archie” after other professional photographers had “commended” her portfolio.
“According to that good source, apparently, Meghan turned that opportunity down flat,” Sean continued. “And as ever, we have to say allegedly [but] we’re not quite sure why [Meghan turned Kate’s offer down].
“You didn’t need to hire a photographer, as Harry and Meghan did.”

These days, Kate makes headlines because of her “planned” abdominal surgery that took pace in mid-January. The public wonders what her actual health condition is because the Palace fails to provide any details, although the speculations regarding the Princess and her whereabouts keep raising with each passing day.
The photograph she posted on Mother’s Day, on which she is surrounded by her three children was “killed” shorty after published.
“Professional photographer here. Look closely at Princess Charlotte’s wrist. This is what happens when you composite layers in Photoshop. I’m not speculating on why the photo was edited like this, but it’s weird,” portrait photographer Martin Bamford wrote on X.
The Princess took “the blame” for manipulating the photo.
On her and William’s official X account, she wrote, “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”

Kensington Palace later confirmed it “would not be reissuing the original unedited photograph of Kate and her children.”
The Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and Agence France-Presse all decided to issue “kill notices,” which are advisory notices to remove or not use a specific photo.
“It appears that the source has manipulated the image,” the Associated Press notification read.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Media Show, Phil Chetwynd, AFP’s global news director, said that Kensington Palace is no longer a trusted source.
“No, absolutely not. Like with anything, when you’re let down by a source the bar is raised … We sent out notes to all our teams at the moment to be absolutely super more vigilant about the content coming across our desk — even from what we would call trusted sources,” he said, as reported by Deadline.

He added that kill notices are usually reserved for sources such as North Korea.
“To kill something on the basis of manipulation [is rare. We do it] once a year maybe, I hope less. The previous kills we’ve had have been from the North Korean news agency or the Iranian news agency,” Chetwynd added.
Kate’s love for photography dates back when she was still very young. In fact, her paternal grandfather, Peter Middleton, was an excellent photographer.
“Her grandfather was a very good photographer,” Claudia Acott Williams, Collections Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, said, per Express. “When she was a child, he would show her his slides. It was him who taught her how to take photographs.”
In her book, Kate: The Future Queen, royal expert and author Katie Nicholl wrote: “Until now the Queen had met Kate only fleetingly at the wedding of Peter and Autumn Phillips, but she went out of her way to make her feel welcome, giving her permission to take pictures at Balmoral.”
“As a woman who has lived her entire life in the public eye, the Queen rarely lets her guard down, and very few apart from her family and closest friends get to see the real Elizabeth,” Nicholl added.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Princess of Wales launched the project Hold Still with the National Portrait Gallery, demonstrating the “power of photography” during a very challenging time—not only for the country but for the world.
“We’ve all seen some incredible images out there and heard some amazing stories — some desperately sad stories, but also some really uplifting ones as well,” Kate said during an appearance on the UK television show This Morning. “I really hope that through a project like this, we might be able to showcase some of those stories and to document and share a moment in time, I suppose, that we’re all experiencing.”
When Camilla appeared on the cover of UK magazine Country Life in 2022, she asked Kate to take the photo.
“She immediately replied, ‘Oh I’d quite like Catherine to do it.’ I spent the next three or four minutes desperately racking my brain trying to think of a professional photographer called Catherine,” Mark Hedges, editor of Country Life, said in a statement. “Then suddenly, I grasped what she meant — one of the most amazing things that could happen. I found it one of the easier things to nod my head at.”
“She did very good pictures and she does it sort of naturally. We had a lot of fun doing it. It was very relaxed and, of course, very kind of the [ Princess of Wales ]. She came with her camera and she’s an extremely good photographer,” she said, as per the Mirror.
Over the years, Kate has taken plenty of photos that attracted the attention of many, most of which of her children.

However, with the issue surrounding her last photograph, the one shared on Mother’s Day, Russell Myers, royal editor at the Daily Mirror, believes she would no longer share her photographs with the world.
“They put the picture out and I suppose they will have to have a review of this process. What I think is going to be the biggest shame of all, is Kate may never put a picture out again,” he said.
“And we’ve had years of her putting out pictures of the children on their birthday, Louis’ first day at school, their Christmas card. If she doesn’t do that, that’s such a massive shame for her,” he added.
Kate issuing an apology for editing the photo she shared speaks of her integrity, royal experts agree. But they also add that the Palace is to be blamed for such a mistake, not Kate.

14-year-old boy named David suffered devastating loss after witnessing both his mom and dad die withing a very short period of time.
His dad, Kenneth Lowery, lost his life in a bizarre scuba-diving accident just three weeks after his mom died of cancer.
The father and son went to the annual scuba-diving trip to Florida because they didn’t want to buck the tradition so they chartered a boat and set off for the dark waters off Juno Beach.
WPTV
It was around 9 a.m when the two went on the tour with the Republic IV charter boat, according to the authorities. Just 50 minutes later, at around 9:50 a.m they down into the water but minutes later only David, known as Xander, resurfaced and started yelling for help. Jupiter police and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission came to Lowery’s rescue and searched the waters in the region of Captain Mike’s reef. Shortly after, they were able to find his lifeless body.
At the time of the tragic accident, Lowery was dive-certified and was about to become a diving instructor.
Before drowning, Lowery pushed his son up towards the top and David started swimming as quick as he could. But when he turned his head, he realized his dad wasn’t there.
“He called his big brother and told him he was standing there and that he thought his daddy had drowned,’ Xander’s grandmother Kelly Bezayiff shared with WPTV.
Facebook
“They went out I guess on a boat. They went down. He knew there were problems, and he tried to get his dad back up, and he couldn’t get him back up,” she added.
David’s parents were divorced, but Lowery and his wife remained close. In fact, Bezayiff, Lowery’s former mother-in-law, spoke of him with affection and added that despite he and his daughter were separated, he was there for her during her cancer battle every step of the way.
“He was phenomenal to my daughter as she was dying. He was there for her, even though they weren’t together anymore,” Bezayiff said. “I mean, he was just that type of guy.”

Xander lost both his mom and dad in the course of just three weeks. We can’t imagine the pain and the grief he’s been going through. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and the rest of his family.

Grease stains are among the most stubborn to get rid of. Sometimes, if the piece of clothing that got greased isn’t the newest one or one of our favorite, we can just get rid of it by throwing it in the trash, but if we are attached to it, we’ll do everything to save it and wear it again and again.
One way to get rid of the grease stains, which is apparently a very practical one and makes wonders, is using Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam.
Pexels
And somehow it does make sense. If the dish foam cuts through grease, then what stops it from cutting through the grease left on a fabric?
Using it for this specific purpose is a straightforward process. You simply put it directly on the stain, leave it for around 5 minutes or more, and then wash it with your usual detergent. In case the grease is very stubborn, repeat the process more than once.
What’s best about this method is that it treats grease stains on various materials, including cotton, jeans, and polyester. It also works on old stains.

If you are to try this on delicate fabrics, do a patch test just to make sure the piece of clothing won’t get ruined.
This is an excellent trick that can save you time when doing the laundry, especially if that’s an activity you are not fond of.

Donald Trump continues to bash both the sitting president, Joe Biden, and his Republican presidential opponent, Nikki Haley. However, as much as he tends to be under the limelight, his wife Melania is almost nowhere to be seen.
Her absence could be felt both during the business mogul’s trials and his presidential campaign, which led to speculations regarding their relationship.
Trump, however, assured everyone that he and Melania are doing strong and that her absence has to do with her wish to protect her son from the pressure the public life may put on him.
“They love her, I’ll tell you,” Trump said. “And you know her. She’s a very brilliant person. She speaks many languages, the whole thing.
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA – DECEMBER 31: Former U.S. President Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump arrive for a New Years event at his Mar-a-Lago home on December 31, 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida.

“Her life revolves around that boy, [he’s] so important to her. At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity.”
He continued, “She’s a private person. It’s funny; she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot, not because she likes doing it, but she likes the result. She wants to see this country really succeed.”
“[The people] love the fact that she’s not out there so much. You know, a lot of first ladies will go out. They want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them. If I didn’t introduce Melania she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person. And she loves the country.”
Melania surprised everyone and put a stop to the speculations when she showed up at Mar-a Lago as Trump hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. She made an entrance to the sounds of “Pretty Woman.”
Orban presented Melania with a huge bouquet of flowers which made her jaw-drop.
He latter shared photos and videos of the visit, capturing it “Pure America.”
Orbán and Trump, two long-time allies, discussed “a wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation,” as per the Trump campaign.
Whether we would be seeing more of Melania as her husband’s campaign proceeds is something we are yet to witness.

The question of what is going on behind closed doors at Windsor is one of the most asked questions during the last couple of months, or better said since Kate Middleton‘s last public appearance.
The Princess of Wales had undergone a “planned” abdominal surgery in mid-January and ever since, her exact health state or whereabouts haven’t been discussed by the Palace except for the statement which came as a for of reassurance that she was “doing well,” and that they won’t be sharing any details except when they feel something truly significant takes place.
The people of Britain, as well as those from around the world who closely follow the situation involving Kate and the rumors surrounding her state, were given a glimpse of hope when the Minister of Defense confirmed that she would be attending the Trooping the Colour dress rehearsal ceremony on June 8, ahead of the main event on June 15.

However, it later turned out that it was a mistake and that Kate’s potential return to royal duty event has been deleted from an Army website. As per GB News, Kensington Palace was “not consulted” regarding the Princess of Wales’ appearance.
“It seems the MoD jumped the gun with this announcement and that Kensington Palace was not consulted…we will have to wait to see if the PoW will be well enough to attend,” Telegraph royal reporter Victoria Ward posted on X.
What’s most, the event’s overview mentioned Kate’s presence multiple times.
“Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King,” “Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales also includes 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards,” and “The soldiers will be inspected by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Colonel Irish Guards.”
The site removed every information related to Kate and the event as well as her photo on the site’s landing page.

Kate hasn’t been seen in public for a long period of time, which is very unusual for a royal of her rank.
The public could last see her on a photo taken by TMZ, which some claimed was staged.
She also posted a photo herself on Mother’s Day on which she could be seen together with her children, but it was later determined the photo had been edited at parts which led to the news agencies to issue “kill notices,” which are advisory notices to remove or not use a specific photo.
“It appears that the source has manipulated the image,” the Associated Press notification read.
They also released a statement, saying, “The Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.”

Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle, her private Scottish residence, on September 8th 2022. This brought to an end her 70-year reign, the longest of a British monarch. Her funeral was held at Westminster Abbey on 19 September and she is buried in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage)
Although the Palace didn’t comment on the edited photo, Kate herself decided to explain why the image had “flaws.”
On her and William’s official X account, she wrote, “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”
Kensington Palace has later confirmed it “would not be reissuing the original unedited photograph of Kate and her children.”
