Kate Middleton and Prince William ‘going through hell,’ claims stylist who worked with royal children

Kate Middleton is fighting cancer, and it doesn’t come as a surprise that all eyes are on her and the British royalty.

Until she made the decision to disclose her condition with the public, the Princess of Wales came under scrutiny for not providing any details of her well-being and whereabouts. As a result, numerous speculations and rumors found their way in the media and the headlines of numerous of world-wide magazines.

During that time, the Palace remained quiet, with only issuing a statement once in which they claimed Kate was doing well.

Following the stir caused by the Mother’s Day photo that Kate published on the social media which experts, as well as ordinary people, found out to be edited, the pressure she and the Palace faced grew even bigger.

Eventually, Kate released a video in which she opened up of her health condition, explaining that after running tests following her planned abdominal surgery, doctors found the presence of cancer.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Middleton said in the March clip.

“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

“This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Middleton said.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”

Up until this point, it is still now known what type of cancer Kate has or what stage she’s in.

The fact that King Charles, who’s battling cancer himself, has been seen in the public recently, and Kate is fighting her battles out of the public eye, makes people more eager to learn more of her exact condition.

However, Prince William proceeding with his royal duties has been seen as a positive sign that things are getting better.

Yet, a new report paints an altogether bleaker picture.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Amaia Arrieta, the clothing designer who has styled Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, revealed: “I’m heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through hell, I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

At the same time, Arietta was among the first who took to the social media to share her support for the British royals following Kate’s video. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales and her family as she bravely faces cancer and undergoes preventive chemotherapy. We stand in solidarity with her, offering our support, strength, and unwavering hope for her well-being and recovery,” she wrote in March.

Last week, William was asked by a woman about his wife and children, to which the prince answered, “We’re all doing well, thank you.”

“And obviously Catherine?” asked the woman.

“We’re all doing well,” said William.

9-year-old boy survives alone for 2 years

By

In their parents, children find comfort, support, and love, and in their embrace, children discover a sanctuary where they can grow, learn, and thrive. Unfortunately, not every parent out there would go to great lengths for the well-being of their child.

The harsh reality is that some parents neglect and abandon their children instead of providing for them.

The following story, which comes from southwest France, is a heartbreaking one and shows everything that a mother should not be.

For long two years, a nine-year-old boy was left to fend for himself after his mother fled the apartment where they lived, leaving him behind. Despite the challenges this young boy faced, he showed incredible resourcefulness and determination.

After a couple of months of living all by himself, some of the neighbors became suspicious that the boy could be living without his mother, but they couldn’t say it with certainty because he was always nicely dressed and excelled at school. That is the reason why his teachers of classmates didn’t raise any concerns either.

However, once home, he was always forced to face the harsh reality. He was living without electricity or hot water and survived mostly on canned food, some tomatoes and other vegetables he would pick from the neighbors’ gardens, and the food some of the neighbors brought him.

Ironically, his mother resided a mere 5 km away from him in a neighboring community, yet she rarely visited or attended to his needs. The involvement of the boy’s father in his life was unclear, but he seemed entirely absent.

It took almost two years for one of the neighbors to report the case of an abandoned child to the authorities.

The entire truth emerged during court proceedings, with phone records revealing the mother’s absence from her son’s life. Despite her denial, neighbors confirmed the boy was left alone.

The court held the mother accountable for child abandonment and neglect. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison and the boy was eventually placed in foster care.

While in foster care, his mother only visited him once, so as he approached his teenage years, he decided to cut all ties with her.

It is truly remarkable how this boy managed to survive for that long and be a great student at the same time without his parents or a family member in his life. His determination and resilience are beyond incredible.

Everyone leaves plane except lady who cried the entire flight, ‘I must see the pilot’ she said

By
Monica Pop
-

Linda was upset because she was about to visit her parents’ graves. Although these visits gave her a sense of comfort, they were still a reminder that the two people she loved the most were no longer part of her life.

Once on board, she started crying. The passengers on the flight noticed she was in distress, but no one approached her to ask her if she was all right.

As the plane took off, she heard the pilot greeting the passengers. Hearing a familiar voice, Linda started crying even harder. At this point, those sitting next to her grew their concerns.

The flight attendant approached her, asking if she needed anything, but Linda refused any help. But everything Linda could say was, “I can’t wait to meet him.”

“What, ma’am?” the curious attendant asked again.

“Can you please not bother me?” Linda fumed. “Please leave me alone….”

Linda cried for the rest of the flight.

When the plane landed, everyone was eager to get off of the plane, but not Linda. She refused to leave her seat and asked to see the pilot.

Pexels

The stewardess saw the woman was still seated and walked over to her.

“Ma’am, we arrived…Do you need help with your bag?”

“No, I’m not getting down! I MUST SEE THE PILOT! I’m not moving from here until I see him!”

“Ma’am, what is it? You can’t stay on the plane for a long time after it has landed. Please, you’ll need to disembark now…”

“I said I want to meet the pilot. It’s urgent. Please try to understand,” pleaded Linda.

“Okay, I’ll tell him. Please wait here.”

Pexels

The pilot was told about this woman who was dying to see him, so he was fine with meeting her. However, the moment he saw her, his smile faded from his face.

“YOU?! I have nothing to say to you,” he said as he tried to exit the plane.

“They would be proud of you, just like the way I was the moment I heard your voice when this flight took off,” said Linda. “Alex, wait, please don’t go…I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”

Alex was a bit confused and he asked Linda how could she recognize his voice after that many years.

“I would recognize your voice even in a crowd of millions. I love you so much, Alex.”

“I’ve been waiting to hear this from you for years,” said Alex. “All you had to do was say these words to set things straight. Why did it take you so long to say SORRY?”

Pexels

Linda and Alex were brother and sister. However, things turned ugly between them following their parents’ death.

Alex always dreamed of becoming a pilot, but his dad never supported that dream of his. He believed Alex won’t be a good pilot, saying he wasn’t willing to pay for his education because it wasn’t worth it.

When the parents died in a car crash, they left everything to Linda and Alex, but Alex could only get his share of the inheritance upon turning 18. He pleaded with Linda to let him pursue his wish of becoming a pilot, but she refused to give him the money, saying they should buy a house and a car instead. She also wanted to respect her father’s wish, and he never wanted Alex to become a pilot.

“I don’t even want to see you. Take all the money. I will achieve my dream by myself. Goodbye!” Alex told Linda and left the house, moving in with his grandparents.

Pexels

He cut all ties with his sister and hadn’t seen her in years.

“Alex, please, give me one chance. Please, I’m here to visit dad and mom’s graves. Please come with me. They would be watching us from heaven, and they will be proud of you….”

Despite Linda’s pleading and begging, Alex remained unmoved. He walked away from her, leaving the plane without a backward glance. Linda, feeling hurt and disappointed, disembarked the plane, hoping to reconcile with Alex, but he failed to appear. With a heavy heart, she hailed a taxi and made her way to her parents’ graves to honor the 20th anniversary of their passing.

“Oh my God, I don’t believe this!” she said, slowing down as tears welled up. “Alex?” she said as she saw him standing next to their parents’ graves.

“I forgive you, Linda. Let’s not talk about what happened years ago. I’m over it, and I want you to forget about it too, alright?!”

Linda’s eyes filled with tears of joy as she embraced Alex tightly. Together, they placed wreaths on their parents’ graves, standing silently for a while in solemn remembrance.

A truly heartwarming tale

By

Animals possess this super ability to touch our lives in unexpected ways. They evoke compassion and empathy within us, often appearing in our lives when we least expect it but perhaps when we need them most. Stray cats and dogs, in particular, demonstrate a remarkable resilience and capacity for trust, despite often facing difficult circumstances.

When we open our hearts and homes to them, we not only provide them with the care and love they deserve but also enrich our own lives with their companionship and unwavering loyalty.

The following story is a beautiful reminder of the bond between humans and animals.

One morning, Amy Harden heard her daughter say, “Mom, there’s a dog at the back porch.”

Having two dogs, Amy answered that it was her who let the dogs out in the morning, but her daughter said, “This dog isn’t ours.”

When she got outside, Amy noticed a dog sitting in the chair, feeling like he was at home. He felt so comfortable that Amy knew he was there to stay.

 “It’s like he had taken up residence,” she shared. “He completely made himself at home on the cushions, and he just never left.”

The first thing she did was to check if the dog belonged to some of the neighbors, but as no one claimed him and he was not microchiped, Amy knew she needed to be there for him.

With the help of the TikTok community, the beautiful dog was named Walker, a truly suitable name for someone who just walked into this family’s life.

Amy took Walker to the vet’s. He was perfectly healthy and seemed like the sweetest dog ever, but sadly, he didn’t get along with Amy’s two other dogs, and it was a constant struggle to keep them apart.

This forced Amy to search for a new home for Walker, and luckily, there was an elderly lady in the neighborhood who was hoping to get a dog as loving as Walker.

“She was super sweet,” Amy recalls. “She told us that she had been praying for a dog like him and that we were the answer to her prayers.”

We are so glad Walker found his forever home with someone who would take great care of him.

My 5-year-old son started avoiding his mom – His reason greatly worried me, so I confronted my wife

By
Monica Pop
-

Robert, 32, a husband and father, has been comfortably balancing work and family life with his wife, Candice, and their five-year-old son, Samuel, affectionately known as “Sam.”

Robert and Candice have been married for eight happy years. Initially, both worked, but for the past five years, Robert has been the sole provider for their family while Candice has been a stay-at-home mom.

So, while Robert worked until 7 p.m. five days a week, Candice took excellent care of the home and of their son.

However, things took a puzzling turn when Robert noticed a change in Sam’s behavior towards Candice. Whenever she tried to kiss him or hug him, he would do his best to avoid her presence. Robert was aware there was something wrong going on. He couldn’t undestand why his son felt so distant when it came to his mother.

A few days passed by and Robert decided to talk to Sam.

“Sam, why have you been avoiding your mom recently?” Robert asked one day while Candice was out of the house, running errands.

 “Mom has changed. She has a secret and doesn’t want to share it with me,” Sam answered, his face reflecting confusion and sadness.

“What do you mean? What secret?” Robert asked, afraid of his son’s answer.

“When you are at work, she often cries in her room. When I walked in there and asked her why she was crying, she screamed at me and told me to go. She was holding a photo, but as soon as I walked in, she put it into the green box and hid it under the mattress,” Sam tried to explain.

Robert was shocked. He couldn’t help but wonder what could make his wife so sad, and what was in that green box Sam talked about.

“How often have you heard your mom crying?” Robert was eager to learn.

“This week she’s been crying almost daily. She thinks I don’t pay attention, but I still hear her and see her swollen eyes. But now she locks the door to her room and when I come to the door and ask her what’s the matter, she acts as if nothing has happened. I don’t like it, Daddy. You need to do something about it,” concerned.

“Don’t worry, son. Your mom probably has a reason for it. I’ll talk to her,” Robert reassured Sam. But deep down he was worried because he had no idea what was going on with his wife.

Two talked for a short while when Sam went to his room to play with his toys.

Although he was aware his action wasn’t appropriate, Robert couldn’t help but check under the mattress and look for the green box that made his wife sad.

Inside, there was some jewelry and a photograph.

The photo featured a happy family, but what caught Robert’s attention was the resemblance between the man on the photo and Candice. At that point, Robert’s mind went to the darkest places. Could Candice be cheating on him? Why did she have that photo of that family Robert has never seen or heard about before.

With the photo in his hand, Robert decided to confront Candice.

“Candice, do you have a secret lover?” he asked directly, with a trembling voice.

“What? Rob, what are you talking about?” Candice answered defensively.

Looking for answers, Robert persisted, showing Candice the photo he held in his hand. “Who is this?”

Candice’s response was immediate and revealing. “Oh no… I never wanted this to come out,” she confessed, the burden of her secret finally emerging.

Robert’s thoughts raced as he sought to understand. “So, are you admitting to cheating on me?”

Pexels

“No! No, I didn’t cheat. Okay, I will tell you the full story, but please do not tell anybody about it,” she begged.

After taking a deep breath, she started telling her story.

“Before my grandma died, she gave me this picture,” Candice revealed, emotions overtaking her. “My grandma said I should decide what to do with it on my own.

“She revealed that my mother cheated on my dad with her lover. When she gave birth, there were twins: me and my brother. Her lover wanted to be a father, but she loved my dad and wanted to stay with him.

“Because of this, my mom and her lover secretly agreed to each take one child and raise them in different families. My mom told my dad that I was his, and he had no reason to doubt her.”

Before he passed away Candice’s real father went to her grandma and told her the truth, giving her the photograph of her grandson.

“You see, my mom and dad have been together for over 35 years. It would devastate him if he found out about my mom’s betrayal.” The pain of keeping that secret was evident.

“But at the same time, I have a brother and I want to know him.” Her desire was palpable, yet so was her fear. “I don’t know what to do, because if I reach out to him, it would eventually hurt my mom and dad.”

Robert was shocked by this revelation.

“So, is it your twin brother in the picture?” Robert asked. “Yes,” Candice answered. And yes, the resemblance between her and the man on the photo was uncanny.

Hugging her, Robert said, “I’m so sorry for doubting your fidelity. But why did you often cry in your room?”

“I’m crying because I never had the chance to know my biological father. Also, I can’t be in my brother’s life without hurting my mom and my dad,” she confessed, her voice cracking with the weight of her words.

Shutterstock

Candice remained uncertain of her next move. She’s still very doubtful of whether she should reach to her brother and welcome him into her life or remain silent for the sake of her parents’ happiness.

Prince Harry forced to stay in hotel as Windsor Castle request was ‘rejected by Royal Family’

By
Monica Pop
-

Prince Harry is expected to visit Britain next week. On May 8, he would speak at St Paul’s Cathedral at a special event held to celebrate the Invictus Games’ tenth anniversary. The Duke founded this sporting event – which sees wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and their associated veterans take part in nine sports including wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, and indoor rowing – in 2014 while he was still a working royal.

Since the Sussexes were evicted from Frogmore Castle following Queen Elizabeth’s passing, they no longer own properties in Britain.

The news was confirmed by Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson. “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” the spokesperson told Vanity Fair.

Allegedly, the residence has been offered to Prince Andrew instead, who has been living in a 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park since 2003.

As per The Sun, Andrew is “resisting” the King’s wish for him to move into Frogmore Cottage. “This surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,” a royal source told the newspaper.

Royal expert and author Omid Scobie wrote that King Charles was “spitting mad” with Harry’s book, which undoubtedly played a role in the decision to evict the prince. The relationship between Harry and his family had, at the time, also reached “an all-time low,” Scobie wrote.

“It all feels very final and like a cruel punishment,” a friend of Harry and Meghan’s added. “It’s like [the family] wants to cut them out of the picture for good.”

Just last month, it was revealed that Harry’s primary residence had been changed to the US – cutting his ties with the UK.

When Harry visits Britain, he’s forced to stay at hotels. In September 2023, Harry requested to stay at Windsor Castle, but his request was denied with the Royal Family citing a lack of notice as the reason for the denial.

This time, he would be staying in a hotel again.

Meghan isn’t expected to accompany Harry because she’s concerned for her children’s safety since it was made clear to them that they would have to arrange their own security on any potential visit.

Not being joined by his family may weigh heavily on Harry, according to the Mail on Sunday’s Royal Editor, Charlotte Griffiths. “It’s a really important part of Harry’s soul, and the kind of thing he’d want his wife, maybe even his kids by his side for,” she explained.

“Meghan is leaving him there alone, and I just think he’s going to cast a really lonely portrait of a man without his friends around him, without his family and without senior members of the Royal Family. And no wife there with him as well.”

It has been reported that no member of the Firm would attend the Invictus Games, but that doesn’t mean the Duke won’t meet some of them, including his father who wishes to meet his son again. As per reports, even the prospect of “reconciling” is said to be on the table.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun newspaper: “The King has always kept the door open to Harry, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he would invariably get a warm reception.

He added: “It will take its time. But clearly the situation has changed in recent weeks beyond all expectations. I don’t think it would be too difficult, it depends how you define reconcile. I think there’s a long way to go before Harry is bringing over Meghan and the children.”

For most couples, the wedding day holds the tittle of the best day in their life.

And yes, the wedding truly is a celebration of love between two people who decide to commit to one another for the rest of their days. This day marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with shared experiences, growth, and support for each other.

Emma Bauso

The joyous occasion is an opportunity for the entire family to gather together. From the exchange of vows to the first dance, weddings are filled with unforgettable moments that create lasting memories that hold sentimental value and are cherished by the couple and their loved ones for the years to come.

When they plan their wedding day, couples put a lot of thought on each and every detail because they want it to be picture perfect. From the choice of venue to the décor and theme, weddings are a reflection of the couple’s unique love story.

However, in an attempt to provide their guests with a unique experience, some couples do weird things. Whether they regret it when they look at their wedding photos years later is something we will never know, but what we know is that some weddings are so awkward they make us question the sanity of the bride and the groom, and some are so fun they put a smile on our faces.

I recently spent $6,500 on this registered Black Angus bull

By
Monica Pop
-

This has to be one of the best jokes there are. Honestly, I couldn’t stop laughing at the continuation of this man’s story, and it’s definitely not something I expected to read.

Namely, he purchased a registered Black Angus bull and paid $6,500 for it. Of course, he was eager to have it on the farm, but when the bull arrived at his new home, he didn’t seem to do the job he was brought for.

After some time, the man was convinced that he had paid more for that bull than he was worth.

Anyways, he didn’t lose hope before making sure a veterinarian checked on the animal.

Upon a thorough checkup, the vet said the bull was completely healthy but he was relatively young. He then prescribed some pills for the bull and assured the man that the problem would be fixed.

And so it happened. Just a few days after having those pills, the bull started to service the cows; all of the cows, and not only those at the farm, but the neighbor’s cows too.

“He’s like a machine!” the satisfied owner said. “I don’t know what was in the pills the Vet gave him… but they kind of taste like peppermint.”

We truly hope this joke made you laugh. Remember, laughter is the best medicine because it offers numerous physical, emotional, and social benefits that contribute to one’s overall well-being and quality of life.

Embrace humor and opt to laugh as often as you can.
