Although it was reported by the Palace that Kate Middleton’s recent abdominal surgery was a planned one, royal experts claim that it left Prince William bewildered. The reason for this is that he’s now expected to take some time off from his royal engagements, at least from part of them, in order to be able to take care of the children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, while Kate is recovering.
The Palace released a statement regarding Kate’s hospital stay, writing that she would be taking some time to recuperate and would return to her royal duties around Easter.
Of course, William will receive help from the children’s long-time nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.
Borrallo has been with the family since Prince George was just 8 months old.
“She is not married and doesn’t have a boyfriend, as her life is totally dedicated to the family she is working with. She is known for being totally professional – married to the job,” an insider told Hello Magazine.
When the couple are away from home, the nanny makes all the decisions regarding the children.
Borallo was trained at the prestigious Norland College in Bath. “Maria is firm, but she never acts unilaterally with the children on discipline. Kate and William, along with Maria, are strict with the children but have this magic ability to appear not to be,” a royal insider said.
“Prince William is going to divide his time between looking after the children and being at his wife’s bedside, and therefore he won’t be carrying out public engagements either,” royal expert Jennie Bond said in an interview with GB News.
Further, Bond told OK! Magazine, “He’ll be feeling emotional, stressed and probably rather bewildered by this sudden turn of events.
“You can have every privilege in life but your health is paramount and beyond your control. William will certainly be there for the children. They want to keep things as normal as possible, so I’d expect William will be doing the school run, helping with homework, cooking and doing the bedtime routine.”
We wish Kate Middleton a speedy recovery.

In today’s world, most people are forced to follow hectic schedules, so taking a well-deserved rest every once in a while feels like a must.
Speaking of it, what’s better for cleansing your mind and soul than to go to the beach and dive into the sea? This can be a truly incredible experience because it allows us to enjoy ourselves before we are finally ready to get back to reality.
A man from Mexico decided he needed to spend some time at the beach and was looking forward to having some fun time.
What he didn’t expect, however, was to stumble to a sight that scared him to death.
As he was walking around, he noticed something that resembled a shadow, but as he got a bit closer, he realized it was a creature like he had never seen before.
Before long, he took his phone out and took a couple of photos of it along with a video. He was quick to share it on his social media and ask users if they could tell what it was. As he was afraid to make more moves towards the creature, he waited to see if anyone could help him learn what he was dealing with.
The fear of the unknown started growing bigger and bigger. The man was uncertain of what to do next.
But then, at one moment, the strange creature made a move and the man realized it was a dog whose hair was overgrown. On top of it, the animal had taken a strange position. It was practically impossible to see that it was in fact a dog until it moved.
The photos and the video went viral and people got really confused.
At the end of the day, this man’s experience at the beach made for an optical illusion that confused many.

“The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway,” – Mother Teresa.
Have you ever noticed that those who don’t have much are the kindest people of all? Maybe it is like that because these people know the feeling of being helpless and they don’t want anyone else to ever feel that way.
This heartwarming story which was shared on AmoMama restores our faith in humanity. It reminds us that there are still good people out there and that no matter how small an act of kindness is, it always goes a long way.
A woman named Sandra Anderson found herself in trouble after marrying her husband and the father of her baby daughter Ava. He turned out to be abusive and made Sandra’s life a living hell.
Sandra’s mom warned her of the type of person her husband could be, but she decided to marry him anyway.
Unable to put up with the abuse any longer, Sandra took her baby and sought shelter at her friend Bethany’s place. She decided to stay there until she found the courage to tell her mother what had happened.
Pexel
Unfortunately, she received a call from the hospital and was informed that her mother had a heart attack. Panicked, Sandra wrapped Ava in a blanket and headed towards the bus. The weather was extremely cold and this poor mother couldn’t wait to get on board. However, once in, she realized she forgot her wallet and was unable to pay for the ride.
Sandra tried to explain to the driver that she was in a hurry and needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible, but he demanded she gets off the bus.
As desperate Sandra headed towards the bus’ door, she heard a voice saying, “I will pay for her fare! Please don’t tell them to leave.”
When she turned around, she noticed that the person who offered to pay for her ride was a young boy. She sat next to him and thanked him for his kindness. The boy introduced himself as Nicholas and explained how his mother always taught him that “if you have the means to help someone, you should always do so!” He went on to say that he was traveling home after visiting his ailing grandmother.
Sandra asked for his address because she wanted to thank Nicholas’ mother for raising such a caring boy.
Pexel
The following day, Sandra went to Nicholas’ house. However, once there, her heart broke into a million pieces. Nicholas and his mom lived in a crumbling two-room cottage. The mother looked extremely tired. It was obvious she worked hard in order to provide for her son, whose father left her after he learned she was carrying his baby.
Sandra went to her friend’s place and told her about Nicholas. She explained how she wanted to start a GoFundMe page in order to help them, and Bethany offered to share it on the social media where she had a huge number of followers.
To everyone’s surprise, the GoFundMe attracted the attention of many people and money started pouring in. Believe it or not, Sandra managed to raise over $1 million.
When she took the money to Nicholas and his mother, they couldn’t believe their eyes. That meant a new lease on life for them and the grandmother.
Never in a million years did the young boy believed his kind act would change his life for the better.

Bullying takes place way more often any of us assumes. Sadly, in schools, this issue affects one in five children and it doesn’t seem that the educational institutions do much to prevent it.
One mom was called by her daughter’s class teacher because she hit someone at school. When she learned of the reason why her daughter reacted that way and opted for violence, the mom defended her daughter to perfection.
Read the story below.
I’m an Emergency Room nurse and we’re not allowed to have our phones on us; they’re to be kept in our lockers. A call comes into hospital reception on a private line for me.
Phone: “This is [Teacher] from [School]. There’s been an incident involving [Daughter]. We need you to come in.”
Me: “Is she ill or injured? Can it wait until my shift is over in two hours?”
Pexel
Phone: “[Daughter] has struck another student. We’ve been trying to call you for 45 minutes. It really is very serious.”
I go to the school and am ushered into the Principal’s office. I see my daughter, her advisor, a male teacher, the principal, a boy with blood around his nose and a red face, and his parents.
Principal: “Mrs. [My Name], how kind of you to FINALLY join us!”
Me: “Yeah, things get busy in the ER. I’ve spent the last hour administering over 40 stitches to a seven-year-old who was beaten by his mother with a metal ladle and then I had to deal with the police regarding the matter. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
(After watching him try to not act embarrassed, he tells me what has happened. The boy had snapped my daughter’s bra and she had punched him in the face… twice. I got the impression they were more angry with my daughter than the boy.)
Me: “Oh. And you want to know if I’m going to press charges against him for sexually assaulting my daughter and against the school for allowing him to do it?”
(They all get jittery when I mention sexual assault and start speaking at once.)
Teacher: “I don’t think it was that serious.”
Advisor: “Let’s not over-react.”
Principal: “I think you’re missing the point.”
(The boy’s mother then starts crying. I turn to my daughter to find out what happened.)
Daughter: “He kept snapping my bra. I asked him to stop but he didn’t, so I told Mr. [Teacher]. He told me to ‘ignore it.’ [Boy] did it again and undid my bra so I hit him. Then he stopped.”
(I turn to the teacher.)
Me: “You let him do this? Why didn’t you stop him? Come over here and let me touch the front of your trousers.”
Teacher: “What?! No!”
Me: “Does that seem inappropriate to you? Why don’t you go and pull on Mrs. [Advisor]’s bra right now. See how fun it is for her. Or on that boy’s mother’s bra. Or mine. You think just because they’re kids it’s fun?”
Principal: “Mrs. [My Name]. With all due respect, [Daughter] still beat another child.”
Me: “No. She defended herself against a sexual attack from another pupil. Look at them; he’s nearly 6 feet and 160 pounds. She’s 5 feet and 84 pounds. He’s a foot taller than her and twice as heavy. How many times should she have let him touch her? If the person who was supposed to help and protect her in a classroom couldn’t be bothered, what should she have done? He pulled her bra so hard it came undone.”
Pexel
(The boy’s mom is still crying and his dad looks both angry and embarrassed. The teacher won’t make eye contact with me. I look at the principal.)
Me: “I’m taking her home. I think the boy has learned his lesson. And I hope nothing like this ever happens again, not only to [Daughter], but to any other girl at this school. You wouldn’t let him do it to a member of staff so what makes you think he can do it to a girl of 15 is beyond me. I will be reporting this to the school administrators. And if you—” *turning to the boy* “—EVER touch my daughter again I WILL have you arrested for sexual assault. Do you understand me?”
I was so angry, I gathered my daughter’s things and left. I reported it to the School Board, several of whom I know, and was assured it would be strongly dealt with.
My daughter was put into a different class for that subject, away from the teacher and the boy.
What are your thoughts on this? Did the mother did the right thing?

Fun, famous, and grounded! Jennifer Garner has all it takes to be an American sweetheart we all love.
On her Instagram, she shares plenty of videos, mostly of her cooking. Her videos also give her fans a glimpse of her life as a mother.
Today, besides being an actress, Garner is also doing something else, saving her family’s history.
Back in the day, Garner’s grandparents from her mother’s side bought a piece of land from the money her grandpa received for fighting in the World War I.
Garner’s mom, Patricia, spent her childhood on that land in Locust Grove, Oklahoma where the family built a farm. Growing up, Garner’s mom would share stories of the life on the farm and those sweet memories stuck up with Garner.
Speaking of the time they purchased the land, Patricia shared, “My parents didn’t even have a car, so when they heard about the land that was for sale, they hired someone to drive them to the property. The farm consisted of a two-room house and 20 acres–minus 1 acre at the heart of the property, which was a Native American cemetery.”
She then added: “Mother told me the story of Dad leaning on his heels and negotiating all day over $20. When they finally agreed on a price, the deal was sealed, and the land was purchased. It’s been in our family ever since.”
Over the years, the ownership of the farm switched from one family member to another until Garner decided to buy it for herself in 2017 from her uncle Robert. They agreed that Robert and his wife would live on the farm in a house they built and that they would maintain the farm.
The Alias star turned the farm into profitable business after she founded Once Upon a Farm and with that, her dream of producing healthy kids’ food that does not leave parents stressed about their children not getting enough nutrients has come true.
Speaking of Once Upon a Farm, Garner says, “We dreamed of bringing baby food back to the roots with organic fruits and veggies harvested from local farmers, blended with love and served fresh from the fridge. We dreamed of feeling less stressed about mealtimes because we could feed our little ones foods that give them all the nutrients they need – and then some!”
With striped overalls and work gloves, Garner said in a TikTok video in May that the Oklahoma farm was her “favorite place.”
“My tractor is calling me,” she said in the video, announcing that she’d be at the Oklahoma farm soon to plant. She signed the video, which has more than 3.4 million views, as “Farmer Jen.”
Her company’s products are sold at some of the biggest retailers in America as well as online on the company’s website.

Nothing good ever comes from being rude to someone. The truth is that we never know what people struggle with and what issues they face in their life so showing kindness can be that ray of sunshine they need in order to feel better, at least for a short time.
A woman named Claire shared an extraordinary story of how someone she has just met made fun of her weight.
Namely, it was around Christmas time and Claire was shopping for a dress. She was hosting a Christmas dinner for the entire family and wanted to look good.
She entered one of the stores and looked around. The dresses were nice and she hoped to find something that would look good on her, but the young woman working there made the entire experience horrible.
As Claire tried one of the dresses, the saleswoman started laughing at her and said loudly so that the rest of the customers could hear her, “You definitely need a bigger size, or it’ll blow up on you on Christmas, or maybe a diet will help you.”
Pexel
What followed were more mean comments. Claire couldn’t believe what she was hearing so she decided to leave the store.
As tears started running down her face, she called her husband and told him how she was treated. He offered to go and pick her up and face the rude woman, but Claire said it wasn’t worth it. Plus, it was Christmas and she didn’t want to spoil the holiday spirit with someone so rude.
She decided to focus on the good things instead, such as the joyous occasion that followed and her meeting her son’s girlfriend for the first time.
Christmas arrived, and Claire was getting ready for the dinner. She couldn’t wait to meet her future daughter-in-law and wanted everything to be perfect.
Pexel
However, the moment her son and his girlfriend arrived and Claire opened the door, she was left in shock. The girlfriend was that same saleswoman who made fun of her some days ago.
The young woman’s face changed into a variety of reds, but Claire decided to act as though she was seeing her for the first time. “Oh, Claire, it’s so great to finally meet you! Please come! We’ll take care of you.”
As the night went on, the girlfriend tried to avoid any close contact with Claire. She was aware that she made a mistake, but Claire couldn’t just let her act go unnoticed.
Pexel
She believed her son had the right to know what kind of a woman he was dating.
At one moment, Claire decided to share what happened at the store and how his son’s girlfriend insulted her and body-shamed her.
The young woman then left the house, embarrassed, and Claire’s son was thankful he learned what kind of person his girlfriend really was.
Claire was glad she taught that woman a lesson she would never forget.

Following the successful abdominal surgery Kate Middleton has undergone, fans sent her their well-wishes.
According to the statement released by the Palace, the Princess was told she should spend ten to fourteen days at the hospital, after which she is supposed to continue her recovery at home.
“Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it is expected she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” the statement from Kensington Palace on its social media pages.
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”

The statement continued: “Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”
During her time of recuperation, Prince William would be the one to be taking care of the couple’s three children, of course, with the help of their long-time nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.
Borrallo has been with the family since Prince George was just 8 months old.
“She is not married and doesn’t have a boyfriend, as her life is totally dedicated to the family she is working with. She is known for being totally professional – married to the job,” an insider told Hello Magazine.
When the couple are away from home, the nanny makes all the decisions regarding the children.
Borallo was trained at the prestigious Norland College in Bath. “Maria is firm, but she never acts unilaterally with the children on discipline. Kate and William, along with Maria, are strict with the children but have this magic ability to appear not to be,” a royal insider said.

Royal expert Jennie Bond believes the children would do fine but they will certainly be confused.
“William is, sadly, perfectly placed to help. He knows exactly how it feels to be worried about your mum, and, in his case, to lose her. So he will be taking extra care to reassure the children and tell them as much, or as little, as he judges they need to hear,” Bond said.
“I’m sure that as soon as it is appropriate, William will take them to see her in hospital, because children need that kind of face-to-face reassurance. They’ll be FaceTiming a lot, I’m sure and showing them that Mum’s alright.”
Jennie Bond added: “He’ll be feeling emotional, stressed and probably rather bewildered by this sudden turn of events.”
“You can have every privilege in life, but your health is paramount and beyond your control. William will certainly visit Kate as much as he can, but also be there for the children. They want to keep things as normal as possible, so I’d expect William will be doing the school run, helping with homework, cooking and doing the bedtime routine.”

As expected, moments after the Palace announced the news regarding Kate Middleton’s surgery, people from all over the world took their time to wish her speedy recovery.
“Feel better soon, Catherine. Even while she’s not well, she’s worried about everything going on around her. You take care of you and I’m sure people understand the need to respect your privacy for your children. They would want the same for their own,” one wrote.
Another added: “Prayers for a successful recovery for the Princess of Wales and for her lovely family as they navigate this difficult time.”
A third said: “My thoughts and prayers are with her and her whole family.”
“14 days is a long stay, hope she’s ok,” a fourth stated.

Among the well-wishers were Harry and Meghan.
“The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health,” the source said, adding that the couple have “contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.”
Their message have been interpreted by many as an olive branch from the Sussexes whose relationship with the rest of the members of the Firm continues to be a rocky one and Harry and Meghan didn’t do much to make things right. On the contrary, their interviews, Harry’s book Spare, as well as their Netflix documentary, only made things worse.
But of course, as there are some who believe that the Sussexes are to be blamed for the troubles within the Royal family, there are also those who support Harry and Meghan.

Some of the fans of the latter referred to Kate’s hospital stay as to “payback after a long, stressful period.”
This angered many of Kate’s fans, among which Daily Mail royal expert Richard Eden who took to X to address these posts.
“Some of the posts on here about the Princess of Wales’s health problems from #PrinceHarry and # Meghan’s supporters really disgust me,” he wrote, as per Express.
Many users on X supported Eden’s stance, with one saying: “Meghan Markle’s fan base represent her perfectly.”
Another claimed: “Well said, Richard. It’s horrific”, while a third stated: “What do you expect? Many are being paid by Markle! Evil personified.”
“Richard we’re used to it as they have attacked Catherine for 4 years. The thing is, [the Princess of Wales] is actually a lovely kind woman and they do it in the name of a fame chaser who has shown time and time again, that she’s not a nice person. Misplaced and ignorant,” a fourth person wrote.

As expected, there were also comments under Eden’s post in favor of Harry and Meghan.
“Do comments about the Sussexes & their children from the William & Kate supporters also disgust you? U never mention it. I wish K8 a speedy recovery but u & yr colleagues write of H&M like they’re the Moors Murderers. U r all to blame 4 this toxic situation u have helped create,” someone commented.
We only hope that things would improve between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the Royals in the time to come.

Following her planned abdominal surgery, Kate Middleton is recovering at the hospital where she is expected to say for around two weeks.
According to a statement released by the Palace, the Princess won’t return to her public duties until Easter. Her work schedule has been cleared for the months that follow as she will be recuperating in the comfort of her home.
Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it is expected she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” the statement from Kensington Palace read.
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”

The statement continued: “Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”
Mere hours after they shared the news about Kate’s surgery, the Palace released yet another statement concerning King Charles. Namely, they announced that the King would also visit the hospital for treatment for an enlarged prostate.
According to royal expert Victoria Murphy, the timing of the news was just a mere coincidence. “The royal family understandably generally try to keep details of their health as private as possible, however when they are forced to cancel public engagements or when a senior royal is admitted to hospital, the public is generally informed in some form,” she wrote for Town & Country.
In King Charles’ case, Murphy claims the announcement was “hastier and a result of having to postpone meetings at the last minute on the advice of a doctor.”

Another royal biographer and expert, Angela Levin, believes the King should have waited with the news of his doctor’s visit.
“With the Queen, you would never know until she’d been to perhaps hospital and had what she needed to be done and then got home. Then she would say something,” she told GB News.
“It’s very rare indeed. I don’t think it’s appropriate to come out with it on the same day that we were astonished by Catherine’s problem in hospital. I think that it could have waited, but I think as well it’s very quick.”
She added: “It was only discovered a week or so ago in Scotland and obviously, once you know about these things, you have to have them done quickly. But I admire him enormously for encouraging people to do it.”
Her hospital stay worried many, but this isn’t the first time that she had undergone a surgery. As a child, she had gone under the knife for reasons unknown to the public. Her scar was first spotted at a private dinner at Clarence House in 2011 when Kate conducted her first solo royal engagement.
Sources told the Daily Mail that it had been “a very serious operation,” while surgeons said it was unlikely the result of a tumor but instead that the scar was caused by a birthmark being removed.
Kate isn’t fond of hospital visits, and she had spoken about that in the past.
When pregnant with George, the Princess was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, which is acute morning sickness. She had to go to the hospital, an experience she recalled as “rotten.” Sadly, she experienced the same while carrying her other two children too.

In 2020, Kate Middleton was a guest on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby, where she spoke of her condition.
“[It was] utterly rotten. I was really sick,” she said.
“I wasn’t eating the things I should be eating and yet the body was still able to take all the goodness from my body and to grow new life, which I think is fascinating.”
The princess continued: “William didn’t feel he could do much to help and it’s hard to see you’re suffering without actually being able to do anything about it.”
She was happy when she was in labor, she added. “Because actually, it was an event that I knew there was going to be an ending to,” she explained. “But I know some people have really, really difficult times, so it’s not for everybody. No pregnancy is the same, no birth is the same.”
