Why Queen Camilla can order Kate Middleton to change her outfit: Inside the rules and etiquette of the Royal Family

Royal traditions hold significant importance because they help preserve historical customs and practices, connecting the present with the past and contributing to a sense of national pride and unity thus symbolizing continuity and stability.

Most royal traditions emphasize the role of the head of the monarchy as a unifying figure above politics, embodying shared values and history. Overall, these traditions ensure the monarchy remains esteemed in modern society.

However, while certain royal rules are set in stone and cannot be broken, some serve as guidlines.

For example, when meeting a member of the British Royal Family there are no obligatory codes of behavior, as per the Palace’s website, yet “many people wish to observe the traditional forms.”

For men, a greeting involves a slight bow of the head, while women perform a small curtsy. Nevertheless, shaking hands is also acceptable.

There are specific rules and guidelines for dining. When dining with the king, it is crucial to follow his lead. King Charles even has the authority to dictate when people begin and finish their meals.

No one is supposed to start eating before the king, and when the king places his knife and fork in the finished position—at 6:30 with the tines of the fork facing upwards—everyone should follow suit, regardless of whether they have food left on their plate.

“Starting your meal before or ending it dramatically after the [King] would be noticed by others,” etiquette expert William Hanson shared with Express.

Also, one should never scrape along a near-empty plate.

“It is not a breach of protocol to make noise with the cutlery on the plate, if it happens once or twice by accident, no issue, but to continue to do so is especially unfortunate,” Hanson added.

The food the royals consume is healthy and prepared by personal chefs, but despite this, they are forbidden from eating certain foods such as shrimp, oysters, and lobster. According to chef Darren McGrady, who worked for the Palace from 1982 to 1993, this is to prevent any poisoning or allergic reactions.

“No potatoes, rice or pasta for dinner,” the royal chef said, referring to the rule of not consuming carbs for dinner.

The truth is that the list of rules and traditions is a long one and no matter how hard the royals try to respect it, some of them have been caught breaking certain rules, likely by mistake.

Meghan Markle, for example, was said to have “hated being controlled by royal protocol” when leaving the house.

“The fact, for example, that at Kensington Palace, royals have to announce in advance when they are leaving the Palace and where they are going,” the royal source told Quinn.

“This is partly for security but partly also to avoid a situation where a senior royal is upstaged by a more junior royal leaving just when the more important person leaves.”

Another royal rule refers to the gifts the royal children receive for different occasions. Besides the fact that they are the ones the gift was bought for, it automatically belongs to the king.

“Gifts are defined as official when received during an official engagement or duty or in connection with the official role or duties of a member of The Royal Family,” the rule guidance states.

“Official gifts are not the private property of the Member of The Royal Family who receives them but are instead received in an official capacity in the course of official duties in support of, and on behalf of The King.”

Of course, King Charles lets the grandchildren have their gifts, but before that, they need to undergo inspection. Once the security tests proceed, the gifts can be handed over.

As expected, royal rules apply to clothing as well.

While the male members of the British Royal Family are always spotted in the most elegant suits, the women’s fashion is somewhat different.

Throughout the years, the late Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, former members like Meghan Markle, and current royals such as Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton have been admired for their exquisite outfits and extraordinary hats. It’s clear that their wardrobes and the royal jewelry collection are quite luxurious but despite having a wide range of clothing choices, there are specific rules they must adhere to.

Since becoming Queen, Camilla is highest in rank and she gets the first choice on what to wear.

Speaking to Express, an insider said that the Queen’s official dresser, Jacqui Meakin, initially caused some unrest at the Palace due to Camilla’s strict opinions on who was allowed to wear specific colors. Typically, this includes the color blue.

Namely, during an occasion, Camilla expressed a wish to wear blue, a color she loves, and she eventually allowed Kate and Princess Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, to wear the same color as long as their outfits looked different than hers.

“The Queen is now able to choose her outfits before all the other women in the Royal Family. It’s part of the royal pecking order and that includes the clothes and colour,” the insider said. “Her Majesty’s favourite colour is blue, and so is Kate’s. Sophie is also quite fond of it.

The source continued, “There was a time when Jacqui [Meakin] was a bit apprehensive to allow blue to be worn at the same time as the Queen, but she’s relaxed that now as long as the blues are very different shades. In the end, it all became a bit comical with all the ladies seeing the funny side.”

Dressing impeccably is what royals do, but besides that, they do experience “embarrassing” moments. Queen Camilla for example, has had her “Marilyn Monroe” moments. One of them was at Princess Charlotte’s christening at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, Norfolk, when a strong gust of wind threatened to lift her dress.

Kate Middleton had such moments as well.

Late Queen Elizabeth, however, avoided them using a clever trick of having curtain weights underneath her skirt.

Gordon Ramsay shares update on fatherhood – addition to family comes seven years after couple lost baby – ‘no book guides you through that’

SLOS ANGELES - AUG 1: Gordon Ramsay, Tana Ramsay arrives at the Fox All-Star Summer 2013 TCA Party at the SoHo House on August 1, 2013 in West Hollywood, CA

Gordon Ramsey is without a doubt one of the most famous names in the culinary world.

The TV chef, who has earned a total of 12 Michelin stars throughout his exceptional career and currently holds seven, has opened up of the loss of his unborn son Rocky for the first time ever.

He detailed the heartbreak he and his wife went through and explained how they navigated through the times of grief.

In an interview with People, Gordon, 56, said: “Losing Rocky was really tough, and then just being there and watching the trauma unfold, it’s just this life-changing moment…”

Speaking of his wife, the famous chef said, “Just watching the way that she dealt with it — and opened up with other friends and women in close proximity that could give advice — she was incredible straight after that.”

He added: “There’s a lot of things that Tana’s done, that we wouldn’t be here today without that strength.”

Gordon and Tana tied the knot in 1996 and welcomed five children together, with their oldest, Megan, born in 1999, and their youngest, Oscar, in 2019. They also share fraternal twins Jack and Holly and daughter Matilda.

Back in 2016, the couple announced that Tana had a miscarriage at five months pregnant, but they didn’t reveal any further details.

But then, in 2020, Tana spoke of her loss in an interview shortly after Chrissy Teigen publicly shared the news of her own miscarriage. What triggered Tana to open up of the miscarriage was the backlash Teigen faced by the public.

Tana showed her support to Teigen and praised her for her honesty.

“I find it very emotional and I thought she was amazing. When I read about her situation, I didn’t know the ins and outs, but certainly, a lot of it sounded incredibly similar to mine,” Tana said.

“It brings it all back and I think she was amazing for talking about it and posting the photos that she did,” she added.

Tana said how she hated the fact that people would tiptoe around the subject and pretend like it had never happened. She said, “I have to be honest when it happened to me, I found it really hard when people would talk to me and not mention it because it was like it never happened.

“All I wanted to do was talk about it with friends, with family, with anyone who asked me about it because it was incredibly hard.”

She added, “You go from having a baby kicking inside of you to suddenly it’s not there, and it was a really hard experience.”

Her husband was by her side and showed immense support. “Gordon was amazing, and he’s always been one to talk about everything and he was very good at sort of talking it out of me and never making me feel that, ‘Oh, you know, maybe we shouldn’t talk about it’.”

Shutterstock

In the recent interview with People, Gordon disclosed, “We wouldn’t have had Oscar had we not lost Rocky. There was no substitute – far from it – but it brought us a bond that you’d never experience in a normal situation.

“That’s the power of Tana,” he added. “Just watching the way that she dealt with it – and opened up with other friends and women in close proximity that could give advice – she was incredible straight after that. Their kids “get a lot of strength from their mum.”

We are so very sorry for the ordeal Gordon and Tana went through.

I found men’s hair lotion in the bathroom even though my husband is bald — Its secret destroyed my 20-year marriage

Josephine and Charlie had been together for as long as she could remember. Childhood sweethearts who built a life together and welcomed two children, their union seemed picture perfect, both from the inside and out.

However, what Josephine could never imagine was that her fairytale would crumble because of a single bottle of men’s hair lotion.

Sharing her story, she explained that her husband’s head was as bald as a billiard ball so when she returned home one day and spotted a bottle in the bathroom labeled “Potion for Thick Voluminous Hair,” she was confused.

She picked the bottle and showed it to Charlie, who was sitting on the couch switching between the TV channels. Once he saw the bottle, his face drained of color faster than a sink full of dishes.

His initial silence was defeating. “Charlie,” Josephine said, “Whose hair lotion is this? You never told me you’re taking treatment for hair growth?”

Midjourney

Staring at the bottle and then at his wife, his jaw clenched hard, he asked, “Where… where did you find this?”

“In the bathroom, where else?” she answered, her temper starting to simmer. “Care to explain?”

“WHAT??” he yelled, pinning the whole thing on Josephine. “So, you’ve been CHEATING on me?? How else could it have gotten there?”

“You’re accusing me of cheating? Charlie?? Come back here and explain,” she shouted, but Charlie simply turned away.

The days that followed were quiet. Josephine couldn’t help but think of the bottle and how it got there. But then, all of a sudden, she remembered seeing their neighbor, an 18-year-old girl named Susie, buying exactly the same bottle some days prior. She also recalled Susie stopping by and asking from Charlie to help fix their faucet, so maybe it was then that she left it at their place. Not surprisingly, the thought of Charlie having something to do with Susie, although he could be her father, also crossed Josephine’s mind.

In order to clear her doubts, she decided to invite Susie and her dad over for dinner one night. As they chatted, she casually mentioned the hair lotion, and to her surprise, Susie’s dad said it was his and that he left it there when he came to fix something for Charlie.

In the pursuit of answers, Josephine decided to check the cameras the following day. What she noticed was that Susie’s father visited their home way too often, and that she had no idea about that. After this, things got even more confusing for her to be able to untangle the truth so she decided to confront her husband yet again.

“Charlie, you’ve got some explaining to do,” she said, not assuming the reality she was going to face.

Panicked, Charlie uttered, “He… he was just helping with repairs.”

“Repairs?” she pressed, her voice laced with suspicion. “Every single time I wasn’t here? Come on, Charlie, level with me.”

Pexels

Running his hand over his head, Charlie’s face etched with worry. He hesitated for a long moment, then blurted out, “Alright, fine. There’s more to the story, but please…” He trailed off, his voice cracking. “Please, Josephine, you gotta believe me… I never meant to hurt you.”

As she stared at him with a racing heart, Charlie gathered the courage to confess, “I… I’ve been having an affair.”

Charlie’s admission felt like a massive blow. “An affair? With Susie’s dad?” His words sounded like a cruel joke.

“You’ve been having an affair with a MAN?? How could you do this to me… to our family?” she screamed.

“I love you, Josephine. Always have. But…,” he tried to explain. “I’ve been struggling with my sexuality for years. I didn’t want to admit it, even to myself.”

Midjourney

Josephine was crushed. She felt that her entire life was a huge lie and everything she believed she had built with the man she loved was nonexistent.

“So all these years,” she choked out. “You were living a lie?”

“It wasn’t a lie, Josephine,” he argued. “I love you, and I love our kids. It’s just… there was this part of me I couldn’t ignore anymore.”

“And you decided to act on it with Susie’s dad??” she sneered, as fury welled up along with the hurt.. “How could you betray me like that?”

“It wasn’t planned,” he faltered. “We just… connected. He’s lonely, Josephine. His wife passed away a few years back, and—”

Pexels

Josephine didn’t have the strength to argue or to accept the reality, so she asked from Charlie to leave. His footsteps receded to the room upstairs, and she curled up on the couch, crying her heart out.

A few days passed by and Josephine received a message from Susie’s father. He wanted to meet her and talk to her. With a deep breath, she answered, “Alright, I’ll be there,” a wave of unease twisted in her gut.

They met at a café the following day, and he confessed, “Your husband isn’t the only one at fault here. I pursued him. I knew he was struggling, and I took advantage of that. I’m sorry.”

Midjourney

Feeling anger, Josephine told him, “You destroyed my family. Do you know that?” As he nodded and stared at the floor, he said he was sorry.

Josephine knew that a simple sorry wouldn’t fix anything. All she knew was that she couldn’t stay with Charlie any longer.

Her marriage, which was built on secrets and unspoken truths was over.

Michael Landon’s son cared for his father during cancer battle – now he’s revealed his own tragic diagnosis

Best known for his roles of Little Jose Cartwright on the iconic western television show Bonanza and that of Charles Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie, late Michael Landon is still considered one of the best actors Hollywood has ever seen.

His impact on the film industry was profound and he helped many young actors and actresses skyrocket their careers and reach remarkable success.

Throughout his lengthy career in TV, Landon graced the cover of TV Guide a whopping 22 times. He shared this impressive feat with extraordinary with Lucile Ball.

Landon played plenty of roles in famous movies, including Highway to Heaven, and got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984.

Throughout his life, he had been married three times. However, besides his first two marriages, it was his third wife Cindy Landon whom he called the love of his life. The two remained together until Landon’s tragic death in 1991 at the age of 54. Landon was a father of nine children and all of them agree he was the dad everyone would ask for, caring and loving, a true interpretation of Charles Ingalls.

Although he always tended to keep his private life out of the spotlight and rarely spoke of his children publicly, Michael Landon was known as a very loving and devoted father.

He had two sons, Mark and John, through adoption with his first wife Dodie Levy-Fraser. Landon and his second wife, Lynn Noe, welcomed four children together – Leslie, Michael Jr., Christopher, and Shawna, and he also adopted Noe’s daughter, Cheryl, whom she had from a previous relationship.

With Cindy Clerico, who was 20 years his junior, Landon had children Jennifer and Matthew.

In 2019, Jennifer spoke about her late father and told Closer Weekly that he was “a fantastic father who was curious about everything and loved to teach the children.” 

Following Landon’s passing, his children were devastated. His son Christopher Landon, who works as a director, opened up about his dad’s last days and explained that his father became like a “son,” while Christopher took on a role as “the father.”

In recent years, Christopher shared plenty of photos as a tribute to his late father.

Landon died of pancreatic cancer, and unfortunately, his son Christopher was also diagnosed with cancer in 2021.

In a post he shared on his social media, Christopher told his fans that he was diagnosed with kidney cancer.

“Whelp….where to start. About a week ago I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I was rushed into emergency surgery to have part of my kidney removed…”

Luckily, his cancer was caught early and doctors were able to perform a surgery and remove a part of his kidney, which was a success.

Christopher urged his social media followers to take care of their health and to get tested before it’s too late.

The potential dangers of Himalayan salt lamps for your pets

A woman from New Zealand named Maddie Smith shared on Facebook the story of her sweet kitty Ruby who got poisoned after she licked a Himalayan salt lamp. This woman is trying to warn other cat owners of the dangers of these types of lamps and urges them to keep them out of the reach of their pets.

She started by writing how Ruby was walking in a strange manner that Wednesday morning. They simply thought it was because the little one was cold so they got her toasty before they left for work.

Unfortunately, once they got home, they could see the cat’s condition was way worse than before, so they took her to the vet.

“The vets were extremely concerned for her and could see she definitely had neurological problems because she simply could not walk properly, could not hear or see, couldn’t even eat or drink properly because she couldn’t function her tongue the best,” the cat owner wrote.

“Her basic senses and abilities gone in 12 hours. She was so helpless.”

When the test results came back, both the doctors and Ruby’s owners were left shocked. The cat was diagnosed with severe salt poisoning which caused her brain to swell.

“The salt poisoning was caused by just your normal salt lamp that we had in our lounge. Ruby has ingested the salt by simply licking the lamp.”

They all say how Ruby’s survival is a miracle as salt poisoning is deadly to animals. The thing is that once they lick these lamps, the animals can’t stop doing it because the taste is addictive.

The vets and medical experts add that these lamps are ‘deadly’ for animals but only if they consume too much of the mineral and lick them repeatedly, otherwise they can do no harm.

The amount of salt cats are allowed to take per day is around 42mg. Anything above this quantity can cause poisoning.

So, if you do decide to get a Himalayan salt lamp just make sure your pet can’t reach it.

While I was away, my neighbors painted my house a different color and it made me furious – Here’s how I took revenge

Having good neighbors is essential for fostering a positive and harmonious living environment. They often serve as positive role models for children and young adults in the community, demonstrating the importance of kindness, respect, and community spirit.

But not all neighbors are easy to get along with, and a woman named Victoria knows this all too well.

She shared her story by explaining that the color of her house was bright yellow. It was a color her late husband adored, and she got used to loving it, too.

However, when a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, moved next door, they seemed to have issues with the brightness of the color of Victoria’s home.

“Whoa! We’ve never seen a house so bright! Did you apply the paint yourself?” was one of the first things they asked when they introduced themselves.

“Yup, me and a gallon of sunshine!” Victoria answered. “What are your thoughts? Must I paint the mailbox after that?”

The couple wouldn’t stop bugging Victoria about the color of her home. “Bright enough for you, Victoria?!” Mr. Davis would often sneer and nudge his wife, and she would respond with a hyena-like cackle before asking, “Victoria, have you ever considered changing it? Perhaps something more impartial?”

This went on and on and one day Mrs. Davis approached Victoria while she was planting her petunias and said boldly, “Victoria, that color is so ugly! It goes with everything! It must be removed. For a change, how about something like… beige…?” 

“Mrs. Davis, is that the reason for the commotion outside?” The looks on people’s faces led Victoria believe that a UFO had touched down. “But it’s only a tiny bit of paint!”

“A tiny bit of paint? Our neighborhood appears to have been invaded by a gigantic banana! Consider the worth of your property! You must be able to perceive how flashy it is,” Mrs. Davis scowled.

Victoria tried to stay composed. She explained that it was the color her late husband preferred and that she wasn’t breaking any legal rules with the choice of color. Sadly, Mrs. Davis was persistent and said, “Victoria, this isn’t over by a long shot!” and apparently she meant it because she and her husband put Victoria through plenty of ordeals by suing her for “safety hazard” and “blinding color.”

The Homeowners Against Bold Colors Association was their final effort, but the rest of the neighbors shut it down.

Nowadays, the pair are isolated from everyone and as welcome as a skunk at a picnic.

However, as Victoria believed her troubles are over, they have just started.

Namely, she needed to be out of town for around two weeks, a time the Davis family used to repaint her house grey without her knowledge.

When she returned home, Victoria missed her home, because this time she wasn’t welcomed by her yellow house, brilliant as a sunflower against the dull beige of the neighborhood.

Her stomach fell out. She was angry and couldn’t possibly believe that those two could do such a thing behind her back.

Victoria marched to the Davises’ house, the obvious culprits who couldn’t handle a bit of color in their dull world. She pounded on their door, but no one answered.

Mr. Thompson, one of the neighbor, approached. “I saw everything, Victoria. I have pictures. Despite having a legitimate work order, the police couldn’t do anything.”

“What do you mean, a valid work order?” she asked, totally puzzled.

He explained that the Davises forged her name, claiming she had paid for the repaint while away. After checking her security tape—smart, they avoided trespassing.

Victoria noticed traces of old yellow paint through the shoddy job.

She grabbed her ID and house documents and headed to the painting company’s office.

“You performed a terrible job painting my house without my permission. This can damage the exterior of the house. What’s that you know? I’ll sue you,” she yelled.

The manager apologized. “But… but we thought it was your house.”

“Of course, it’s MY house, but I DIDN’T ask for any paint job,” Victoria explained.

Furious, Victoria demanded a copy of the work order. It was in the Davises’ name. The manager, Gary, was shocked when he heard what the neighbors had done.

“Mr. and Mrs. Davis claimed it was their house and declined the scraping service to save money,” Gary said. “They wanted it done while they were out of town.”

Her blood boiled. “You didn’t confirm with the real homeowner? Check ownership records?”

Gary, regretful, replied, “They were convincing and claimed to own the house. I apologize.”

“And you didn’t ask any neighbors? You just painted my house?” Victoria started losing her temper.

Gary looked agitated. “We had no reason to doubt them. I’m sorry.”

Taking a deep breath, Victoria said, “You will help fix this. This is unacceptable.”

Sweat beaded on Gary’s temples. “Yes, we’ll work closely with you. We had no idea this could happen.”

“I want your workers to testify in court,” she insisted.

The Davises countersued, claiming she should pay for the paint job. The painting company’s employees testified against them. Her attorney detailed the damages and fraud.

The judge, after hearing everything, addressed the Davises. “You’ve destroyed her property and committed identity theft. This is both a criminal and civil matter.”

Eventually, the Davises were convicted of vandalism and fraud. They were sentenced to community service and ordered to pay all expenses, including court fees, to repaint Victoria’s house yellow.

“I hope you’re happy,” Mrs. Davis said angrily outside the courthouse.

Victoria treated her with a charming smile and said, “I will be when my house is YELLOW again!”

What are the odd lines on Biden’s face that have appeared in recent days?

Biden and Trump “clashed” in Atlanta for a studio debate hosted by CNN on Thursday night, held without an audience. As expected, Democrats and Republicans have offered contrasting perspectives on both candidates, and the debate’s lasting impact is yet to unfold. Biden’s somewhat shaky performance appeared to attract the most attention once the debate came to an end.

In fact, the current president’s re-run for the White House becomes a central point of discussion having in mind he would be 86 by the time a potential second term concludes. Concerns about his ability to fulfill the duties of the highest office in the land effectively have also been raised.

During the debate, Biden faced difficulties right from the start, with his hoarse and raspy voice prompting immediate questions about his physical health. Similar to several recent public appearances, Biden was also observed frequently clearing his throat throughout the debate.

Political consultant and pollster Frank Luntz posted on X that a focus group of undecided voters who watched the debate with him expressed surprise and concern about Biden’s voice, noting that “this doesn’t bode well for questions about his health.”

Further, concerns were raised regarding the conspicuous lines on his face, which could be seen running from his mouth to his ears.

In the time when Biden’s health is questions almost daily, transparency from the White House regarding his medical conditions and treatments remains crucial. What’s most, as he faces the challenges of leadership, his capacity to maintain his health while meeting the demands of his office will continue to be a subject of ongoing discussion and scrutiny.

After many questioned the reason behind the marks on his face, the White House has provided an explanation, stating that these mysterious lines are due to the use of a sleep apnea treatment mask, more precisely, the mask’s straps that hold it in place.

Of course, these marks are not permanent and fade over time, thus they are not related to any possible health issues.

President Biden prioritizes his health by promptly addressing medical conditions, as evidenced by his use of a sleep apnea treatment mask to maintain productivity.

He also undergoes regular medical check-ups and consultations with healthcare professionals to monitor his well-being, ensuring he can effectively fulfill his responsibilities as President.

As the oldest serving President, concerns about Biden’s health and his capacity to fulfill his duties persist. However, his proactive management of health and dedication to addressing medical conditions underscore his commitment to effective leadership.

While his advanced age may pose certain challenges, it should not overshadow President Biden’s wealth of experience, wisdom, and capability. As he continues to navigate the demands of leadership, discussions about his health should not detract from the focus on his policies and the positive impact he aims to achieve for the American people.
