Kate Middleton will return to royal duty if this one condition is met, royal expert claims

Not only Britain but the entire world is eagerly anticipating the moment Kate Middleton would return to her royal duties.

Following her planned abdominal surgery which took place in mid-January of this year and required a hospital stay of 13 days and even longer recovery, Kate was initially expected to be out in public around Easter, with the Palace claiming she was doing fine, but that didn’t happen because the Princess of Wales disclosed with the public that she’s undergoing treatments for cancer. According to Kate herself, it was following her surgery that doctors found the presence of cancer after running tests.

She hadn’t disclosed her condition with the public right away because she and William needed time to tell the news to their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

However, although she hasn’t been doing any public duties, Kate is said to be working from the comfort of her home.

At the time being, most of the royal engagements have been performed by William and Queen Camilla.

This summer, the royal family has a busy agenda. Major events include Trooping the Colour, a state banquet, the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and Garter Day. Kate usually attends these events, and it turns out that this year, King Charles did his best to find a suitable replacement for his beloved daughter-in-law.

As per the Daily Mail, Beatrice, Prince Andrew’s eldest daughter, is “looking forward to helping out.”

“They’ve got a busy diary coming up, and they need to widen the family at social events. You’ve got a whole week of Ascot. You have four garden parties. You’ve got Trooping the Colour, and you’ve got a state visit before you even start on other things,” the source said.

“I think Beatrice and Eugenie are adding support where they can. They’ve always been clear they’re non-royal, but they’re always there to help fulfill any duties required.”

It is apparent that King Charles sees his nieces as “sensible, lovely women” who could be a great asset for the royal family.

“They have been crying out for that royal glamour that has been missing during a time when his slimmed-down monarchy is in desperate need of bulking up,” the source concluded. 

“Beatrice, in particular, has been desperate for her chance to shine. She was once shy, and her style was a little frumpy. But these days she’s ambitious, confident and fashionable. She looks great in photos.”

Despite the fact that she tries to stay out of the spotlight, the Princess of Wales is “excited” to be at the heart of the launch of a new project that could boost the UK economy by £45.5billion ($57 billion) a year. As per The Daily Mirror, Kate’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood would release a report this week from eight British firms that would identify five areas where businesses can support children under five and their caregivers. It will also highlight the significant future benefits of investing in early childhood.

“The work of The Prince and Princess’ projects is ‘always on’…early childhood is a huge priority for The Princess, and so she has been kept fully updated throughout the development of the Taskforce’s work, and she has seen the report,” Kate Middleton’s spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

A senior royal aide told GB News: “The Princess of Wales was the driving force behind the business task force. She has been kept up to date since the inception of the task force, and she has read the report and been briefed on it.”

“This is a clear commitment she has made that throughout her life of public service that this will be focus. That will continue when she returns to work. But we have been really clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now. She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors.”

The Centre for Early Childhood, described as Kate Middleton’s “life’s work,” was founded in 2021.

Christian Guy, executive director of the early childhood center, told the newspaper: “This is another crucial moment for HRH’s early childhood work…its impact, and the work of her Centre for Early I know, having briefed The Princess on this, that she is enormously grateful to the members of the Taskforce who have made such fantastic progress on this work over the past year.”

Although working on this project “should not be seen” as Kate is back, as per GB News’ royal correspondent Cameron Walker, the news about this project is giving royal fans hope they would see Kate back at work in the near future.

Speaking on GB News, host Isabel Webster said: “It’s characteristically Catherine, isn’t it? To say she wasn’t doesn’t want to distract from this report by having people talking about her health. We should start probably by saying she said she’s not feeling well enough to come out and talk about this in public, but she is saying she’s watching it, keeping a close eye from behind closed doors.”

Cameron Walker added, “This should not be seen as a return to work by the Princess of Wales, but I have been told she’s read the report and has been briefed on it. But this will stem from her work from when she started being a working member of the Royal Family, where she was working closely with people suffering from addiction and mental health problems.”

“It’s a big task, isn’t it?” the royal correspondent concluded. 

“That’s a lot of change that would need to happen. So it’s going to happen over a long period of time. The princess cannot lobby the government. She can’t be political. So I think she’s trying to encourage the private sector to do as much as they can in sport and create societal change.”

We wish Kate Middleton gets better and better with each passing day.

Graduation: A celebration for all

By
Monica Pop
-

During Sunday’s commencement at Duke University, students walked out as speaker Jerry Seinfeld was introduced. The reason why is that Seinfeld has openly supported Israel. This incident is the latest in a string of disruptions at colleges across the country.

As they left the ceremony, the students chanted “Free, free Palestine,” as a group of other graduates appeared to jeer them.

The walkout triggered many online comments, suggesting that the students were protesting because Seinfeld is Jewish, with some accusing the participants of antisemitism.

Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, posted, “So students at Drake [sic] walk out because the speaker, Jerry Seinfeld, is Jewish? This is antisemitism, cloaked in concern for Gaza.” 

Democratic U.S. Rep Daniel Goldman of New York, posted on X, “Jerry Seinfeld is a Jewish American who has nothing at all to do with Israel’s foreign policy or military defense. Holding an American Jew responsible for the actions of the Israeli government is quintessential antisemitism.”

The organizers of the walkout claimed their decision had nothing to do with the actor’s religion but with him being vocal in supporting Israel. Further, the protesters called for Duke University to disclose its investments in Israel and consider divesting from companies with connections to Israel. They called for a ceasefire amid the ongoing conflict.

Seinfeld received an honorary degree and delivered his speech without major interruptions.

“We’re excited and delighted for the Class of 2024 and their families. We understand the depth of feeling in our community, and as we have all year, we respect the right of everyone at Duke to express their views peacefully, without preventing graduates and their families from celebrating their achievement,” Duke spokesperson Frank Tramble said in a statement.

Man who claims to be the son of King Charles and Queen Camilla launches legal fight to prove his ‘royal paternity’

By
Monica Pop
-

During the years, a man named Simon Dorante-Day, 56, of Queensland, Australia, has claimed he was the son of King Charles and his wife Camilla. He made headlines in the past, but now, with the passing of Queen Elizabeth, and Charles ascending to the throne, those claims only became more frequent and pretty much stronger than before.

As reported by 7NEWS, Simon was born on April 5, 1966, in Gosport, Portsmouth, and was adopted by a couple named Karen and David Day. His adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest Bowlden, were employed by Queen Elizabeth and Princ Philip and worked at the royal household.

According to Simon himself, it was his grandmother who told him the truth about his biological parents, saying he was the son of Charles and Camila. Simon says she didn’t go around the bush but told him straight. “She didn’t just hint at it, she told me outright,” he shared with 7NEWS.

Although the newly appointed King and his wife Camilla, who received the tittle Queen Consort, only married in 2005, their history together dates back to the times Charles was still married to late Princess Diana. The two had an affair and it was the main reason Diana decided to leave him.

According to Simon, Camilla, who he believes is his biological mother, gave birth to him when she was still a teenager.

Now, with Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, Simon’s mission to prove his heritage became stronger than ever.

He believes that King Charles gave the tittle of Prince of Wales to William with ease, and he still refuses to do a DNK test and prove whether Simon’s claims are true or not.

The Queen herself never responded to any of Simon’s letters during the years, and with her death, a “window of opportunity has closed,” Simon said.

“There has been a discussion in there between a judge and myself and his barrister about the legal standing of Charles, and whether the monarch is protected by the law or is above the law,” Simon explained. “And the answer to that was no – they told me that we don’t see any reason why he is.”

Further, this alleged ‘heir’ to the throne said, “And secondly, Camilla and her family are certainly not above the law. So that argument’s already been had and settled.”

Simon Charles Dorante-Day called Charles “weak” for failing to respond to any communication or recognizing him as his “firstborn Son.”

“On the eve of your coronation, when all that you have waited for and all that you’ve fought for has come to fruition, I hope that you are finally satisfied,” Simon wrote.

“I am disappointed that my issue couldn’t be resolved before you ascended to the throne, but I feel that in the fullness of time this will reflect more poorly on the Monarchy than it ever will on me.”

“I feel dismissed. Charles got what he wanted: he got the throne, he got his wife, he got it all. I don’t even get the truth about my mother. When’s it going to swing the other way? Now it’s time for me to get my happy ending.”

He continued, “Maybe you can come clean and admit when you first met because the truth is you haven’t before!”

The Palace has never addressed these claims.

A few weeks ago, the Australian made another move towards seeking ‘justice’ by sharing details of his latest legal effort to prove his royal paternity. He plans to take King Charles and Queen Camilla to court during their visit to Australia.

“What [legal action] am I going to do this time? Well, I’d be a very silly person that when he comes into the same jurisdiction as me not to do something,” Simon told 7News.

“But I think I’d be even sillier to let that cat out of the bag right now.”

He added: “You know, there’s always something going on in the background here at our place. It never stops. People think just because it goes quiet on Facebook, [the case] is quiet, but it doesn’t. We’re hammering in the background.”

Claiming he doesn’t want fame or money, Simon says he only wants the truth to be told.

“I’m not doing all this to be a Facebook character. And I’ve had to learn to do this and objectionably at times, because we were private people. These accusations that I’m doing this for money? Yeah, right, okay. And I’m doing it for fame? None is true.”

He concluded, “All we want is the truth. All we want him to do is tell the truth, and her, Camilla as well. They both need to own up.”

Although he cannot prove anything, there are people who believe his claims. Could this man give King Charles a headache in the days that follow? We will have to wait and see how this man’s life story unfolds.

Wisconsin DQ puts up ‘politically incorrect’ sign, owner doesn’t back down

By
Monica Pop
-

A sign spotted on the front window of a Dairy Queen restaurant in Kewaskum, Wisconsin, has caught the internet’s attention. The billboard boldly showcases the establishment’s commitment to what some may deem as politically incorrect, highlighting its frequent use of holiday greetings such as “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Easter,” and “God Bless America.”

Speaking to WDJT-TV, owner Kevin Scheunemann said he “felt the sign was appropriate to hang in terms of being transparent about the views of the owner and staff supporting God and country.”

The sign has been up for the last four years and it didn’t cause any problems until recently when a customer took a picture of it and complained about it.

The location’s owner, franchisee Kevin Scheunemann, told GoMN that “a student from Oregon” posted the photo of the sign on the official Dairy Queen Facebook page last Wednesday, triggering a huge thread of comments.

According to Scheunemann, the complaint by the student described the “politically incorrect” sign as “extremely offensive” and demanded that the company “deal with (the) franchise owner.”

Most of the comments under the photo that attracted plenty of attention but has since been deleted were in support of Scheunemann.

Dairy Queen responded to the controversy with the following statement: “American Dairy Queen Corporation does not encourage our independently owned and operated franchisees to post non-business related messages in their locations or on their external reader boards. This sign expresses the views of this independent owner only and does not speak for ADQ Corporation or any of our other independent franchise owners. We expect our franchisees and employees to treat every person who walks through our doors with the utmost dignity and respect. Nothing less is acceptable.”

Screenshot

Scheunemann says he’s not planning on taking the sign down and adds that store is a “huge tourist landmark at this point,” with “people driving hours to take a picture with (the) sign.”

The idea to put the sign in the first place came after a complaint from a customer who was upset about the Christian music playing inside the store.

Evidence of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck splitting up comes to light

By
Monica Pop
-

While promoting her new Netflix movie Atlas in Mexico, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez was asked point blank of the rumors regarding her alleged split from husband Ben Affleck to what she replied, “You know better than that.”

In the background, JLo’s co-star, Simu Liu, could be heard coming to her defense. “OK, we’re not doing that,” he said, before adding: “Come on, don’t come in here with that energy, please. Thank you so much.” 

However, besides her response, body language expert Judi James believes JLo revealed signs that say otherwise.

“Lopez is no stranger to high-profile marriage and high-profile divorce so must have been expecting questions like this one, given all the recent speculation about her relationship with Ben.

“The fact that her body language here makes her appear wrong-footed and awkward might not go far then in terms of the reassurance fans are hoping for.”

Judi continued: “When the question about their relationship comes from the audience her initial reaction is to keep the mic to her mouth as though willing to speak, but she lets out an explosive laugh into it instead.

“Tellingly, her ring hand lifts from her knee as though forming a silent signal of solidity but then she seems to stuff the hand between her knees instead, looking at her host while acting bouncy and smiling.”

“Jen co*ks her head as she looks across in a gesture of likeability,” Judi added. “She then seems to try to take control, leaning onto her knees with a serious facial expression. ‘You know better than that’ is her line here, while the ring hand fiddles. Her body language announces ‘that’s it’ as she then wipes her ring hand on her leg and leans back and looks away.”

JLo has been promoting the new sci-fi film for which she is a producer, without Affleck, 51.

Earlier this week, when InTouch magazine wrote that Lopez and Affleck had called it quits, they also implied that Affleck had vacated their shared home in Beverly Hills and has been staying in his Brentwood residence for the past week.

The couple have been last pictured together in March in New York City.

Reports have suggested that the singer was in search of a separate residence apart from her husband.

Lopez and Affleck married in July 2022 following a second engagement. Since tying the knot, their relationship has been under the spotlight, particularly after she disclosed that her prior relationship with Affleck had “crumbled under the pressure.”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have not issued any official statement regarding these rumors.

Kelly Rizzo shows incredible strength in the face of grief

By
Monica Pop
-

At a 2024 Grammys viewing party, Kelly Rizzo went public with her new relationship, and she has now made her romance with her boyfriend, actor Breckin Meyer, Instagram-official.

The widow of comedian Bob Saget took to social media on Tuesday to extend birthday wishes to her partner, marking their first public post together on the platform. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! To the man who is kind, sweet, silly, thoughtful, completely hilarious, handsome, understanding, charming, forever curious, compassionate, witty, warm & wonderful,” Rizzo, 44, posted. “You deserve to be endlessly celebrated today!🎂❤️🎉,” she added.

Actress Caitlin Crosby wrote, “Oh it’s instagram offish !!! 🥰🥰🥰,” while Jana Kramer wrote, “I love this so much.”

Speaking to E! of her new relationship, Rizzo said that it took “a while” for her to “get to the point where” she felt comfortable dating again.

Addressing critics who claimed she had moved on too quickly following Bob Saget‘s sudden passing, Rizzo said, “Unless you are a widow or a widower, you truly have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this because you do not know what it’s like.” She added: “You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process.”

Rizzo started dating 18 months after her husband died and she’s grateful she found a partner who understands that Saget is “always going to be a part of my life.”

“He always asks questions about him and keeps him a part of the conversation, and that means so much to me,” she said.

Although Rizzo didn’t need the blessing of Bob’s daughters, it held significance for her to receive their approval, aligning with her sense of what felt appropriate in the situation.

“I’d love to think that Bob would want me to be happy too, but to hear it from them is just a totally different level,” the journalist said. “And it meant the world just to hear, ‘Hey, we trust you. We love you. We know you’re going to do what’s right, and we want you to be happy.’”

Rizzo and Saget were married for four years until his passing in 2022.

As of Rizzo’s new love, Breckin Meyer, he’s best known for the 1990s cult classic Clueless. Meyer is also a writer and a producer, having served as the creator of Men At Work.

Meyer was previously married to filmmaker Deborah Kaplan from 2001 to 2014. The two share two daughters.

The woman who identifies as a dog: Embracing her true self

By
Monica Pop
-

These days, it is not uncommon for people to have a wide range of identities, including identifying with non-human beings or entities. And no matter how strange this sounds to many, these individuals do believe they should have been born as other people, different gender, or even animals.

Appearing on KIIS FM’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Meow, an American woman, shared fascinating details about her everyday life as a canine.

During her interview, Meow provided insight into her unique lifestyle, explaining that she sleeps in a crate, enjoys dog treats, and relies on her handlers for care.

“I have pastel blankets and pastel pillows in there, something about being in a confined space, I don’t know if it makes me feel safe from the world or makes me feel like the world is safe from me but it feels comfort for sure!” she said.

“It can fit me, the rule of thumb with a dog is that if they can stand up in it, then it’s big enough for them, so as long as I’m on all fours standing up.”

Meow, who believes she’s a Dalmatian, is also a well-known star on social media platforms like Twitch. She fully embraces her dog-like characteristics, occasionally barking and moving on all fours.

Her crate is the place where she feels secure and comfortable and is decorated with a bunch of pillows and blankets that make it a cozy place.

Meow isn’t in a relationship, but she does have ‘handlers’ who act like her boyfriends. She also considers them friends who help her with various tasks, such as going on walks and practicing training exercises. Her relationship with them is non-sexual, but they share similar interests.

When it comes to her diet, Meow does eat normal food such as shredded chicken and jerky, but also dog treats such as biscuits.

Meow doesn’t really care what people think of her lifestyle as she confidently focuses on living out her dog identity.

On Instagram, under the username meowdalyn, her online presence provides a peek into her remarkable lifestyle, attracting a following of more than 11,000 individuals.

Meow’s story is a poignant testament of the ways individuals opt to manifest their innermost selves. It is also a testament to the significance of embracing authenticity, irrespective of societal norms or expectations.

If you see these painful red bumps, you may have dyshidrotic eczema

By
Monica Pop
-

One type of skin condition people suffer from is dyshidrotic eczema, which is prevalent in the spring. Although this condition isn’t curable, it is manageable and can be kept under control. The symptoms are small, itchy blisters.

Eczema refers to a group of diseases that cause skin inflammation, often known as dermatitis. As per statistics, eczema affects an estimated 35 million people in the States only. Around seventy percent of these cases include children under the age of five.

During a flare-up, the skin becomes red, itchy, and swollen with fluid-filled bumps that may ooze and crust. The most common triggers of eczema are allergic reactions, but it can also be genetic. Eczema isn’t contagious.

Shutterstock

One of the most common forms, as stated previously, is dyshidrotic eczema.

Dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) is a chronic, recurrent skin condition that causes itching and often appears symmetrically on the palms, fingers, and soles. It is marked by small, deep-seated vesicles measuring 1–2 mm, which eventually resolve with scaling after a few weeks.

There is some disagreement about the exact terminology and definitions, but this condition is also referred to as pompholyx, acute and recurrent vesicular hand dermatitis, acute palmoplantar eczema, vesicular endogenous eczema, cheiropompholyx (when affecting the hands), podopompholyx or pedopompholyx (when affecting the feet), and cheiropodopompholyx.

Shutterstock

Of course, not every inflammation of the skin is related to this type of eczema, so before you even start treatment make sure you are properly diagnosed.

Some of the most common symptoms of dyshidrotic eczema are:

  • Deep-set blisters on hands and feet (specifically on the edges of the fingers, toes, palms, and soles of the feet)
  • Itching
  • Redness
  • Flaking
  • Scaly, cracked skin
  • Pain

People with contact dermatitis, atopic eczema, or hay fever are at a higher risk of developing dyshidrotic eczema. Sadly, it has a tendency to get infected, which delays the healing process.

Shutterstock

Although there is no cure and no surefire way to prevent flare-ups from taking place, an effective skincare routine can bolster your skin’s resistance to inflammation.

The most conventional treatment for dyshidrotic eczema are creams, which likely include corticosteroid creams or ointment or a prescribed injection or pill.

Other treatments include:

  • UV light treatments
  • draining large blisters
  • antihistamines
  • various anti-itch creams
  • immune-suppressing ointments, such as Protopic and Elidel
Shutterstock

Besides these conventional methods, there are also natural ways of treating and soothing the condition. Generally, maintaining clean and moisturized skin is one of the most effective methods for managing eczema. The type of treatment and its frequency will depend on your specific symptoms, but these natural, at-home approaches enable you to feel confident about the products you use on your skin.

Cold Compresses

To reduce the inflammation of the skin, soak the affected area and apply cold compresses for 15 minutes. Repeat this process two to four times throughout the day and then apply moisturizer to the affected area for maximum effectiveness.

Aloe Vera

Renowned for its ability to soothe irritated skin and accelerate the healing process, aloe vera can help reduce the symptoms of eczema. For best results, break off a piece of the plant and apply the thick gel directly to your inflamed skin. Alternatively, you can purchase a bottle of natural aloe vera lotion from your local pharmacy.

    Shutterstock

    Oatmeal

    Due to its proven anti-inflammatory properties, oatmeal is often used to alleviate skin conditions, including dyshidrotic eczema. Applying oatmeal directly to irritated skin can help reduce eczema symptoms, leaving your skin feeling healthy and soothed.
