Royal expert shares heartbreaking truth behind latest Kate Middleton picture

The public is overwhelmed by the latest photo of Kate Middleton taken by the American tabloid TMZ. Although no British tabloids shared the photo, it found its way on the social media. Kate could be seen wearing sunglasses in the passenger seat of a car.

Following her “planned” abdominal surgery, the palace cleared Kate’s schedule completely, and the public got excited to see that she was about to appear in public earlier than expected when the Minister of Defense confirmed that Kate Middleton will attend 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.

This, along with the photo of Kate published in the American media, led to even greater speculations surrounding her exact health condition.

The Palace did all in their power to protect the Princess’ privacy. There was no media around when she left the hospital nor when she traveled to the Anmer Hall estate in Sandringham some weeks ago, so this leaked photo has been seen as a failure and disappointment for the palace.

According to Newsweek’s chief royal correspondent Jack Royston, the one to be blamed about this entire situation is the Palace.

“The kind of secrecy that Kensington Palace brought to this situation fuelled completely feverish wild speculation online, and that creates the demand that means TMZ know that they’re going to make big bucks running these pictures because they know that huge numbers of people are going to go and click on this story,” Royston told Good Morning Britain on Tuesday.

“And that means that they can pay big amounts of money to the photographer, which makes it worth the photographer’s while to take the risk to get these pictures.”

He claimed the Palace could have handled everything better and put a stop to the speculations long ago.

“Kate could have taken a picture herself. She could have taken a selfie. William could have taken it. It didn’t need to be a good picture. Didn’t need to be a high-res image. It just needed to be a picture or a little video like Charles did,” he continued.

“What’s effectively happened is they’ve allowed this to snowball into a massive thing, and if they’d got ahead of it then they would have actually protected Kate better,” Jack Royston continued when appearing on Good Morning Britain.

“It probably felt to them at the time like they were protecting her and shielding her by just leaving her to get on with her recovery undisturbed but actually this is not protecting Kate. Her being papped in Windsor, the [Daily] Mail is speculating that she may have been on the school run, that that’s not protecting her. She was not going to feel protected in this moment.”

Other experts believe the entire thing has been fishy from the start.

According to Christopher Andersen, the author of the book The King, if the Princess has in deed been feeling better as the Palace claims, then she should have stepped out in the public and at least smile fro the photographers.

“Keep in mind that members of the royal family in particular are famous for getting out there [and] keeping up appearances no matter what,” Andersen told Fox News. “Queen Elizabeth never spent months recovering from an illness, and over the course of her 70-year reign, she dealt with a number of serious medical issues. So, the mystery surrounding Kate’s surgery and what it was for deepens.”

Although she wants to keep things private, it “wouldn’t have hurt” her to “pop her head above the parapet every now and then.”

“It may also be that her medical problem, whatever it is, gave her a new appreciation of what she regards as truly important in life – spending time at home with her children. Kate really is such a pro at handling the press and the public, for her to remain out of sight like this really has to make one wonder: What in God’s name is going on?” he concluded.

Daniela Elser believes that the TMZ photo hides a deeper story.

“With these new images, it’s depressing that it looks a lot like Kate felt she had to let her face be seen in public to stem the tide of delirium. There is something just a bit screwy and upsetting and off-kilter about the internet rabble being able to alter the plan for the 42-year-old’s recovery.”

She also claimed that Prince William canceling a royal duty because of a personal matter last week added to the controversy. Since he contributed to the mess, he’s the one who needs to clear ti up and no leave it up to his wife.

“Thus, the prince helped make the mess – why isn’t he helping clean it up? Why has it fallen to Kate, who had some sort of surgery significant enough to warrant two weeks in hospital, to dispel the grab bag of daft theories about where she is and what might be going on?” she continued.

Elser asked whether the photo shows a woman ready to be back on display or to be “put on public view like a museum specimen.”

“I suppose if there is one lesson to be drawn from all this is that princesses might get all the gee-gaws and diamonds they might fancy but choice? Freedom? Real independence? Maybe there’s no such thing as a free ten-bedroom Norfolk estate after all. Everything has a price,” Elser stated.

When Jessica Leonard was born, she was a perfectly healthy baby, just like any other child. No one could predict that in the years to come, she would turn into the heaviest seven year old child. Weighting staggering 200 kilograms, Jessica became sort of a celebrity and her name was all over the media, but sadly, for reasons that would make her early years a living hell.

Jessica’s mother, Caroline Shu Tug, recalls her daughter’s first years of life when she was a cheerful girl and a very healthy one. According to her, things turned the wrong turn with the fact that Jessica never refused anything when she was offered food.

Loved by everyone in the family, maybe even more than needed, she was spoiled rotten and everyone would please her wishes of having fast food, a bunch of snacks, cupcakes from the pastry shops, chips and nuts from supermarkets. Jessica would have all these in quite large quantities.

Although her parents don’t recall when the situation got out of control, they remember it was an eye opener for them that their child was in a desperate situation when the scale showed she weighted 220 kilograms at the age of just 7 and experienced troubles breathing.

When she was rushed to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in critical condition, child protective services finally took notice.

Jessica was broadcast in a show staring like a gimmick. Her mother asked for help and her plead was heard by renowned dietitians and nutritionists.

In an effort to maintain any progress her daughter would hopefully make at the clinic, Carolyn was also asked to attend parenting classes so that she could help her daughter stay on the right track once she was well enough to return home.

Jessica was sent to a clinic where she started a battle for every calorie she ate.

Doctors realized that her issue with food was that she got dependent from it from psychological aspect.

Once at the clinic, Jessica couldn’t figure it out why she was denied food that she would up until that point receive from her family with a smile on their face.

It was long months of diets, exercise, psychological treatments, and strong will that helped Jessica lose a significant amount of weight. The next time the world heard of her, she had lost 140 kilograms.

After losing the weight, Jessica also undergone a skin removal surgery during which doctors removed over 10 kg of excess skin from her body.

Today, Jessica resembles a completely different person. She’s very active, looks slim, and is engaged in gymnastics and basketball. She eats healthy, and leads a healthy lifestyle.

Mom refuses to believe ‘virgin’ daughter is pregnant, dislikes doctor’s retort

The parent-child relationship can without a doubt be an uneasy one at times. The truth is that most moms and dads out there would give their world for their children and their well-being and they would certainly do all in their power to teach them right from wrong and help them turn into good people who would pursue their own happiness and become valuable members of the society.

Children, however, not always obey their parents or do what they are said. It is quite often that they would get themselves into trouble because of their behavior and would hide things from their parents. When this happens, it is a hard realization to their moms and dads that they failed at parenthood without being aware that most kids are like that.

At some point in their lives, most parents that their children aren’t innocent angels they pretend to be.

A mother took her daughter to the doctors to see what what causing her morning sickness and the cravings. Once she explained the symptoms to the doctor, he already assumed what could be wrong with the 16-year-old girl, but wouldn’t jump into conclusions before running some tests.

Shortly after, the doctor informed the mother that her daughter was pregnant. “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Mandy is pregnant.” To her shock, he added, “About four months would be my guess.”

Looking at the doctor, the mother, who’s world turn upside down at that moment, said, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Mandy?”

Mandy, of course, agreed with her mother. “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!”

At that moment, the doctor, already fed-up with the mother-daughter theatrics, stood by the window and started staring outside while holding the results of a positive pregnancy test in his hand. He didn’t say a word for a while before the mother approached him and said, “Is there something wrong out there doctor!?”

As though he was waiting for such a question he turned to her and answered, “No, not really,” allowing a brief pause before looking little Mandy dead in the eye and adding, “It’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the East and three wise men came over the hill. I’ll be darned if I’m going to miss it this time!”

It was then that both Mandy and her mother were forced to accept the reality, no matter how much it made them mad and disappointed.

The tests weren’t lying, and the proof of that was to arrive some months later.

This story is the perfect reminder that no matter how much we love and trust our children, we should always take their words with a pinch of salt because they do tend to hide the truth from their parents at certain point in their life.

If you find a “bleach” patch on your underwear, you’d better know what it means

By

When we are in need of certain information, the first thing we turn to is the Internet. Unlike many years ago when people went straight to the library to seek knowledge, now that knowledge is just a click away.

Among the countless websites, there are those that deal with threads where people ask questions, and honestly, nettizens never disappoint.

Recently, someone posted a question eager to learn why their underwear appears to have bleach stains on it sometimes. Well, it turned out that many ladies wanted to know the answer to the question, realizing they are not alone and that many others have experienced this “issue.”

As always, many were quick to provide answers. It turned out that it is the vagi**’s natural pH levels that really produce these “bleach” spots.

According to experts, this isn’t a reason for concern. On the contrary, it is an indicator that your pH levels, which indicate how acidic or alkaline a liquid or a substance is, are normal.

“Now that everyone is aware, it’s completely normal to discover lighter patches in a woman’s underwear or knickers due to the acidic nature of the vagi**, with a pH range of 3.8-4.5. So, I suppose it’s time to abandon the notion of it being a result of poor hygiene. In fact, a healthy vagi** is one that can bleach the fabric,” Dr. Vanessa MacKay of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated.

She explained that the vagi** has a natural secretory system that allows it to clean itself. It is protected by the good bacteria that it contains.

@annrussell03 Reply to @echambers40 ♬ original sound – Ann Russell She/Her

The National Institutes of Health states that the pH of the vagi** typically fluctuates from 3.8 to 5.0, which means that it is rather acidic compared to the normally neutral pH level of 7.

“Disturbing the natural balance can lead to infections, but it’s perfectly normal and healthy for women to have clear or white discharge from their vagi**,” Dr. MacKay added.

If you were among those wondering what is the reason behind these stains now you can rest at ease.

My husband chose his mistress over me and our kids, so I taught him a lesson

Exposing your personal life on the social media for the sake of sharing a life lesson might be a difficult decision to make, but TikTok user @tattylomas did exactly that and spoke of how she handled her husband’s infidelity and how she reacted witnessing him ruining their marriage and their family and later regretting it.

She started her story explaining that she and her now ex-husband were high-school sweethearts. She knew he was the one the moment she laid eyes on him years ago. The two proceeded to marry and welcome three children together. But one day out of the blue he told her that there was someone else in his life and that he wanted a divorce.

TikTok.com/@tattylomas

The TikToker felt like her entire world collapsed. She couldn’t understand how he could wrack their family for a woman he only knew for three months. But he was determined to start his life over claiming he was in love with her and deserved to be happy.

She did all in her power to prevent him from leaving her and the children, but to no avail.

It was then that she decided to put her brave face on and be strong for her kids.

They proceeded with the divorce and she got to keep the house which meant the world to her because they bought it from her grandmother, but ended paying him a hefty payout.

TikTok.com/@tattylomas

Once everything was over, the TikToker could finally get over her heartbreak. But then, she got a text from her ex telling her he was sorry and he wanted to get back to her. For this woman, that wasn’t an option. After everything he did, she couldn’t possibly take him back, not ever.

In fact, she learned that the woman her husband left her for was a horrible person who crashed his car while driving drunk.

Some time later, the TikToker met someone knew through her sister who was also divorced. She and this new man didn’t plan on getting married, but they got involved in a meaningful relationship.

TikTok.com/@tattylomas

The woman continued to express how delighted she was to watch her ex-husband suffer the consequences of his actions. “Call me evil or whatever, but he brought all of this on himself,” she added.

At the end of the video, she addressed her husband directly, saying, “So if you are watching this, enjoy your shabby one-bedroom apartment and her broken-down car. Oh, and my new partner and I will think of you on our vacation in Hawaii. I know Hawaii was the place you always wanted to go. Maybe I will send you a postcard.”

 “SERVES HIM RIGHT!!!” someone commented. “YES GURL U GOOOO,”another added.

One viewer suggested, “GIRL SEND HIM THAT POSTCARD BUT FILL IT W PICS OF YOU AND YOUR NEW MAN.”

She said she didn’t want to indulge in any hard revenge antics because watching her ex regret his actions was enough revenge for her.

My girlfriend’s mom always lies about forgetting her wallet & I told her lying has consequences

By

Dealing with the unhealthy patterns of members of the family can be a real struggle. As much as we don’t want to hurt their feelings and create an awkward environment, we still need to find a way to help them and put a stop to their behavior that is often damaging.

A Redditor that goes by the name Sea_Temporary_7637 visited the AITA subReddit to discuss a recent situation involving his girlfriend’s mother.

Namely, his girlfriend Kelly has two mothers, Gina, 64, and Stacy, 71. While Gina covers of all their expenses, Stacy mainly spends her money on tiny errands and keeps the rest.

One day, Stacy asked from OP to take her to the store so that she could grab a few things. Once they took everything she needed and headed towards the counter, Stacy told him that she had forgotten her wallet at home and asked him if he could cover the bill for her and that she would repay him later.

OP, of course, agreed because he didn’t think it was a big of a deal. Stacy was an elderly lady, and elderly people tend to forget things.

That same day, when OP and his girlfriend had a talk about how they days had gone and OP mentioned running errands with her mom, Kelly immediately asked him if Stacey wanted him to lend her money. He got confused and answered that she did. That’s when Kelly explained her mom had the habit of making people pay for her stuff without considering giving them their money back.

“She claims she ‘forgot’ her wallet, asks you to pay, promises to pay you back, but almost never follows through,” Kelly said.

OP knew Stacey lied at times and he was aware that made Kelly mad, but he didn’t know she would also try to trick him.

“I also don’t like to be lied to and had not experienced Stacy lying to me yet. It’s also not even about money for Stacy, as she has quite a bit to her name, no debt, and Gina pays most of the bills.”

Shutterstock

OP promised he wouldn’t let Stacy play games with him ever again, so the next time she asked from him to take her to the pharmacy, he repeatedly asked her if she took everything she needed, putting emphasis on her keys, jacket, and wallet. She said she had and the two headed to the pharmacy.

However, just as she needed to pay, she turned to OP and said she had again forgotten her wallet. That’s when OP confronted her.

OP: “I thought you said you had everything you needed before we left.”

Stacy: “I did, I guess I was wrong.”

OP: “You said you checked.” Stacy: “I did.”

OP: “So did you lie to me about having your wallet, or did you lie to me about checking for it?”

Stacy: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

OP: “Do you really not have it with you, or are you lying about that too?” Stacy: “Why are you having an attitude with me?”

OP: “Why did you lie to me?”

Stacy: “It’s not a big deal. If you don’t want to help me, then I’m going home.”

OP: “I don’t have an attitude, I’m just not going to deal with you lying to me. Lying has consequences.”

Shutterstock

On their way home, Stacy stayed silent. She didn’t say a single word.

However, although she was the one who lied to OP, Stacy was the one hurt by his words. Kelly told her boyfriend that her mom locked herself inside her room and refused to get out. This made OP wonder if he was in the wrong for confronting Stacy in the first place.

Needless to say, fellow Redditors said OP was NTA.

Real reason Melania Trump is absent from Trump campaign, revealed by expert

By

Being a business mogul and a former president who fights for a second chance to run the country, Donald Trump has spent his entire life under the spotlight. Currently, he continues to bash both the sitting president, President Joe Biden, and his Republican presidential opponent, Nikki Haley. However, as he does that, he does it alone.

Speaking of his wife’s involvement in his presidential campaign, Trump assured his followers that he has her full support in his embarkment of settling to the White House yet again, but despite that, her absence has been felt like never before.

Trump claims that Melania is dedicated to being at Barron’s side.

“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.

“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.”

Donald Trump concluded, “She’s gonna be out quite a bit, and she loves his country, and she wants a great, and she says hello.”

That Melania is doing her best to protect her son from scrutiny isn’t far from the truth. She has always been an exceptionally devoted mother who made sure her son stays out of the limelight.

Even when Trump became a president, she and Barron didn’t move to the White House until he finished school in New York some six months later, becoming the first boy to live in the White House since JFK Jr.

After finishing school in Washington, Barron Trump enrolled at the private school Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Currently, Melania and her husband have been looking at colleges in New York and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Both Trump and his children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Tiffany Trump, have graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.

The future plans of Barron Trump have not been revealed, but according to Eden Gillott, crisis management expert, no matter what college he attends, Barron would likely prefer a quieter life like his mother’s rather than his dad’s love for being in the spotlight.

“Barron will most likely opt for Melania’s elegance of privacy rather than his father’s love of the spotlight. This selective visibility could define his persona, underscoring the sophistication of leading a life of quiet dignity amidst a world that often confuses noise with influence,” she said speaking to The List.

“Barron has a unique opportunity to capitalize on this increased visibility to subtly shape his own narrative. While his father’s potential presidency could heighten public interest, Barron could use this moment not for direct engagement, but as a chance to reinforce his personal brand of quiet distinction,” she claimed.

“By focusing on his education and personal interests he can navigate the heightened attention in a way that aligns with his preference for privacy, setting a precedent for engaging with the public on his own terms.

“Barron’s choice of a quieter path could mark him as the bearer of a new legacy where he redefines what it looks like to carry the name,” Eden Gilliott told The List. “If, at a later point, he decides he wants to fully step into public life, it’ll be much easier to navigate than trying to close Pandora’s box.”

However, as many claim, including Trump himself, that his wife isn’t by his side during his presidential campaign because she’s guarding their son, Grant Reeher, director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University, shares his thoughts on Melania’s absence and why that is.

“The family was very involved in the past two campaigns for president, so I’d think they would be involved again. From a distance, it seems that Melania became less enthusiastic about this role as the controversies and the scandals mounted, so I don’t know how involved she’ll want to be this time around.”

“And she may be keen to guard Barron from becoming too exposed. Once you draw on your family, they become fair game for the media and opposition research.”

Reeher added: “His other adult children and in-laws were very keen to be involved in both his campaigns and his White House administration, and I see no reason why they wouldn’t want to do that again.”

Queen Camilla will take a break from her royal duties after King Charles cancer diagnosis

By

With Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties and prince Andrew getting estranged from the family, the number of working royals has reduced significantly. Sadly, during the recent months that number lowered even further after Kate Middleton underwent what was described as a “planned” abdominal surgery and King Charles was diagnosed with cancer, forcing both of them to take some time off.

Kate is expected to return to her royal duties not earlier than Easter, while the King shares his time between London, where he receives weekly treatments, and Sandringham, the royal estate in Norfolk, England.

While both royals either cleared their schedules or postponed certain royal engagements, their significant others, as well as other members of the royal family stepped in for them.

Queen Camilla had a tough few weeks where she had to take on a lot of responsibility for the royal family. Among the rest, she led the royal family at the memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece, and now, according to the Palace, she would also be taking a week off.

Camilla is expected to return to her regular duties on March 11, when she is scheduled to lead the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey for the Commonwealth Day service. 

During her week off, she would be spending her time with her husband, the King, and the rest of the members of the Firm.

King Charles was diagnosed with a type of cancer following the surgery for an enlarged prostate, but no details have been revealed of the type of the stage of the cancer.

The King himself released a statement recently, thanking everyone for their well-wishes, and then took his time to thank his people once again during his meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

When it comes to Kate, the Palace reassured those doubting the severity of her condition with a statement that read, “We were very clear from the outset that the Princess of Wales was out until after Easter and Kensington Palace would only be providing updates when something was significant.”

“I’ve had so many wonderful messages and cards. It’s reduced me to tears most of the time,” King Charles told Sunak.

“I hear there’s been a lot more attention and interest on those main, wonderful cancer charities, many of which I’ve been patron for years,” he added and laughed.
