Charles pleaded to Queen Elizabeth to make one of her final public appearances – she was frail and cried beforehand

The passing of Queen Elizabeth, the longest reigning monarch Britain ever had, left huge void in the hearts of millions of Britons who considered her not only a head of the monarchy but also a motherly figure.

When the news of her ill-heatlh was shared in the media on the day of her passing, a huge number of people gathered together and filled the streets of the major cities around United Kingdom as a sign of support. The number of those that arrived at Balmoral Castle, the Queen’s summer residence where she passed away, was even bigger.

When members of the royalty started arriving one by one, everyone assumed the Queen was living her last moments. Sadly, that happened to be the truth which left millions of people from all around the world heartbroken.

In a statement on Thursday, September 8, Buckingham Palace said:

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

The cause of death was listed as ‘old age,’ but some experts believe the late Queen suffered from a serious illness; a bone marrow cancer, which is why she experienced discomfort and pain during the last days of her life.

What’s most, it is believed that Queen Elizabeth used a wheelchair inside the castle but refused to be seen using one in public.

Royal expert and author Robert Joobson claims that Queen Elizabeth used wheelchair during the Platinum Jubilee, but people didn’t notice.

“On her insistence, a military-style exercise was put in place so that no one could see she was having to use a wheelchair,” Jobson wrote. “In considerable discomfort, Her Majesty was taken by wheelchair to the helicopter pad at Windsor.”

“At the Palace, she was wheeled right up to the balcony doors, then helped to her feet so that she could stand – with the aid of a walking stick – alongside Charles and Camilla, plus William and his family.”

“After a firework display, the Queen smiled with delight. It was her last salute to her people,” he concluded.

However, what many people don’t know is that the Queen was hesitating whether to appear on the balcony during the jubilee and that it took a lot of effort for her to stand on her feet in order to greet the crowd who was there to celebrate her reign.

In fact, it was then-prince Charles who pleaded his mother to gather the strength and come to London. It was the last ever plea from him to his mother.

The Queen only decided that she would go to London about three hours before the balcony appearance. She was not feeling brilliant but the Prince of Wales [now King Charles] had called her and told her she really ought to come if she could,” a royal source told The Daily Mail.

Apparently, King Charles “convinced” the Queen to travel from Windsor Castle to London for the public’s sake.

“He told her there were so many people desperate to see her, and he convinced her to come,” the source added.

When she saw the crowd, the Queen got very emotional.

“The Queen was totally overwhelmed by the number of people waiting to see her – she had tears in her eyes before she stepped out on the balcony.”

Shortly after the Jubilee weekend ended, she thanked everyone who was part of the celebration.

“While I may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all; and I remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family,” Queen Elizabeth wrote.

“I have been inspired by the kindness, joy, and kinship that has been so evident in recent days, and I hope this renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come,” she said. “I thank you most sincerely for your good wishes and for the part you have all played in these happy celebrations.”

Queen Elizabeth is still missed. May she rest in peace.

Meghan Markle encourages Harry to ‘destroy’ the royal family, expert claims

By

The rift between Harry and Meghan and the members of the Firm seems to be deeper than ever. The truth is that the bridges the Sussexes burnt because of all the allegations they made against the royals can’t be easily fixed.

Ever since their departure from the family, Harry and Meghan are under the spotlight giving interviews, publishing books, and sharing details of their time as working royals.

It all started with the infamous interview with Oprah in which the couple accused the Firm of racism and shared that a senior royal was concerned about the color of the skin of then unborn Archie.

Once in the States, the couple continued exposing secrets concerning Harry’s part of the family, although one of the reasons they left Britain behind was the pursuit of a quiet life out of the eyes of the public and the media.

What followed was a bunch of appearances in podcasts and Harry publishing his all-tell memoir Spare in which he spoke about his life as a royal and wrote about everyone from his family, not even Kate and William’s children were spared.

All these appearances and the contracts they signed with Spotify and Netlix among the rest, brought them millions, so it’s safe to say that they can afford a lavish lifestyle.

The royals never reacted to any of Harry and Meghan’s accusations, except for the one time when now late Queen Elizabeth issued a statement regarding the Oprah interview in which she stated that “some recollections may vary.”

And now, as many are convinced that Harry and Meghan are done with being in front of the camera, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams shared with the Daily Mail the couple would most likely continue to engage in activities similar to what we’ve seen over the past few years, including making shows, doing interviews, and writing books because they “specialize in doing the unexpected” and do whatever fits their needs.

Further, he claims that there is “obviously plenty left that they could say in print,” adding that there still remains “enormous’ international interest in Harry and Meghan’s activities.”

“His early life might make the third (book), and Meghan could write a memoir, as has been rumoured. There is obviously plenty left that they could say in print,” the royal expert concluded.

“The question is, would it benefit them, and how would it help their brand and the causes they support?”

Another royal expert and author, Tom Quinn, believes that Harry is seen as a “loose cannon” by the Royal Family and that Meghan’s goal is to steer Harry so that he might ‘destroy’ his family members.

“The Royal Family will be deeply upset by the fact they have this loose cannon, someone William was [once] close to,” Quinn said on the Channel 5 documentary Harry & Meghan: Is America Turning Against Them.

“[Harry] has married this woman who seems to be encouraging him to destroy the royal family.”

He further added that the Buckingham Palace not responding to anything Harry and Meghan say or do is expected. “Very sensibly, and in keeping with the tradition, the Royal Family [will never] say anything beyond things like ‘recollections may vary’ about these various events.”

Harry and Meghan are now so estranged from the British royalty that the only royals who have ever visited them in California are Princess Beatrice and her husband.

According to former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, the couple will “live to regret” not keeping in touch.

“That will come back to haunt them at a certain point. They have no cousins that they see, or uncles or aunts, and they don’t see grandparents, except for one,” he said. That one grandparent is Meghan’s mother Doria who often spends time with her grandchildren.

Sandra Bullock blasted for being ‘barely recognizable’ – but her partner accepts her just the way she is

By

-

Famed actress Sandra Bullock is a fan-favorite not only because of her incredible talent, but also because of her personality. It’s not often that A-list celebrities are down-to-Earth as much as she is, and that’s what makes her truly special.

Bullock, 58, became mother later in life when she adopted her two children, son Louis and daughter Laila.

As she was heading to her forties, Bullock believed she would never be a mother, but after Hurricane Katrina struck, she experienced an epiphany and said that something deep inside her told her her children were in New Orleans. She traveled there and started a process of adoption. It took four years before Louis became her child, but the waiting was worth it.

“I looked at him and said, ‘Oh, there you are.’ It’s like he’d always been there. He fit in the crook of my arm, he looked me in the eyes, and he was just wise,” she said of the time she laid eyes on her son.

A post shared by People Magazine (@people)

Laila was adopted some years later. The little girl ended up in the foster system early in life and at the age of 2 and a half, she had already changed three different homes. That experience made her scared and prevented her from trusting people. Dealing with Laila’s trauma took some time, but Bullock was willing to go above and beyond for her daughter’s well-being. Before fostering her daughter, The Proposal star took classes designed to teach her how to raise a child that had been traumatized, as Laila had been.

After she adopted her her children, Bullock met her longtime partner, photographer Bryan Randall, whom the kids call ‘daddy.’

Recently, fans slammed The Blind Side star for her appearance, saying she’s unrecognizable.

Many say it’s obvious she has undergone plastic surgery to enhance her looks although Bullock denied going under the knife multiple times before.

“Plastic surgery around her eyes and cheeks. Made her barely unrecognizable, yikes!” one person wrote. “I said the same thing this past weekend. There was something about her eyes that I couldn’t put my finger on. After the movie I was Googling ‘What happened to Sandra Bullock’s face?’ Couldn’t find anything except people leaving comments to leave her alone, she’s beautiful. Jeez,” another added.

“It’s really good and wow Sandra Bullock is unrecognizable. Anyways I’m pretty good thx for asking. How about you? Anything new and exciting?” a third wrote.

Bullock doesn’t seem to be touched by the comments because she has her husband’s support. He loves her unconditionally the way she is, and we believe she looks as stunning as ever.

The legendary actress has been struggling with a decade-long battle with ‘traumatic’ sight condition

By

British-born Judi Dench is one of those actors who have been on the pedestal for so long they are considered legends.

Many agree that Dench, whose career spans over 60 years, is a national treasure, and although this sounds quite flattering, she doesn’t want to be called that. “For one thing,” she told People, “it’s a terrible label. So dusty, so dreary. For another, it relegates me to being an 86-year-old woman. Whereas in my mind’s eye I’m 6ft and willowy and about 39.”

The 88-year-old actress has been experiencing health issues which affect her vision and makes it difficult for her to read her lines. Namely, Dench was diagnosed with a condition known as macular degeneration which affects the middle part of the vision and may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Dench revealed that her vision worsened over the years.

”It has become impossible and because I have a photographic memory, I need to find a machine that not only teaches me my lines but also tells me where they appear on the page,” the actress said when discussing the difficulty she faces when learning her lines.

”In response to the numerous articles in the media concerning my eye condition – macular degeneration- I do not wish for this to be overblown,” she told ET at the time.

”This condition is something that thousands and thousands of people all over the world are having to contend with…and it’s something I have learnt to cope with and adapt to — and it will not lead to blindness.”

Back in 2022, when she was asked of the condition of her eyesight, Dench shared with Louis Theroux, ”Bad. Bad enough. Bad enough in that you’re quite fuzzy. You’re just a tad fuzzy.”

Despite having difficulties reading her lines, Dench doesn’t show any signs of slowing down and doesn’t consider to retire from acting. ”I don’t want to retire. I’m not doing much at the moment because I can’t see. It’s bad,” she said. ”You find a way of just getting about and getting over the things that you find very difficult,” she added. “I’ve had to find another way of learning lines and things, which is having great friends of mine repeat them to me over and over and over again. So I have to learn through repetition, and I just hope that people won’t notice too much if all the lines are completely hopeless!”

Back in 2001, Dench experienced heartbreak when she lost her husband of 30 years and the true love of her life, Michael Williams. Speaking of the loss and her late husband, she said, ”He was the most unselfish man, and he wouldn’t ever attribute that to anything that might be between us… Oh, God, how he used to make me laugh. He used to make me absolutely howl.”

Following his passing, Dench never thought that she would be able to be with someone again, but love happened for her in 2010 when she met conservationist David Mills.

”I wasn’t even prepared to be ready for it. It was very, very gradual and grown up. It’s just wonderful,” she told The Times in 2014.

Everyone warned him about the gorilla he raised – When they meet 5 years later, I can’t hold back the tears

Damian Aspinall is one of the greatest names among conservationists. Through his foundation, Aspinall Foundation, this man has done for the gorillas more than anyone can ever imagine. He has dedicated his whole life raising them and helping them get back into their natural habitat.

Among the gorillas he has saved was one named Kwibi, whom Damian raised and took care of until its fifth year of life. Following the away from its natural habitat, Kwibi was released into the wild.

Years passed by and Damian was eager to learn how Kwibi was doing in her new home. When he brought up the idea of reuniting with his old gorilla friend, most of Damian’s family and friends warned him that Kwibi likely adapted to the wild completely and she would probably be hostile towards any human who would try to approach her. Damian, on the other hand, was convinced his friend would remember him, and so it was.

Their reunion, which took place five years after they last saw each other, is one of the most touching we’ve ever witnessed. The connection between Damian and Kwibi is stronger that anyone could ever imagine.

This needs to be seen to be believed. Check out the video below.

Inside Rod Stewart’s $70 million mansion – the incredible details will leave you breathless

Rod,Stewart,At,The,32nd,Anniversary,Carousel,Of,Hope,Ball, — Rod Stewart at the 32nd Anniversary Carousel Of Hope Ball, Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills, CA. 10-23-10

That celebrities live life of luxury and glamour is a well known fact, but the truth is that we never really know to what extent that luxury goes. Well, not until we see it ourselves.

Just recently, legendary British rock and pop legend Rod Stewart listed his $70 million home for sale, and as expected, the mansion was sold in no time and now we get to see how it looks on the inside, and trust us, it took our breath away.

Stewart, who was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 as a solo artist, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and was inducted a second time into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces, is a father of six. He has his children with four different women, but it wasn’t until he met his current wife, supermodel Penny Lancaster, that he turned into a dedicated husband.

The two dated for seven years before Stewart got on one knee and proposed to her in front of the Eiffel Tower. There is an age gap of 24 years between the two, with Steward being Lancaster’s senior, but that isn’t a big deal as the two are very much in love.

Speaking of her, the singer said, “I am lost for words. They have not invented the words for how I feel about her. She is everything.”

However, despite loving her endlessly, Steward always puts his kids before everything else and says “I cannot get enough of them.”

Stewart’s Beverly Hills home is probably one of the most extravagant we’ve ever seen.

Located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Los Angeles; the gated exclusive community of North Beverly Park, the mansion resembles a dream castle.

It is placed on 3 acres of land and was designed by the famous Los Angeles architect Richard Landry in the 1990s.

The mansion boasts 14 bedrooms, including a massive screening room, a family room, a rec room, a library, a gym, a gorgeous hand-painted bar, and a formal dining room that seats up to 20 people. Now if you think this is more than enough of what such place needs, let us tell you that there is a lot more.

The floors are made of marble and the chandeliers are crystal. Further, the place features elaborate wood paneling and a tennis court which can easily be converted into football field. There is also an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace, a pool, and a spa.

However, what is probably the best feature of this magnificent place is the incredible view of the city.

Of course, there are plenty of guest rooms as well.

What do you think of Sir Rod Stewart’s home?

‘Immature and stupid’: Harry admits to flirting with another woman while dating ex-girlfriend – experts label it cheating

By

Monica Pop

-

Weeks following King Charles’ coronation, Prince Harry is back to his homeland, but this time, his visit isn’t related to his nearly ‘estranged’ family. In fact, the Prince is back in Britain for a court case against The Sun and Daily Mirror whom he sued back in 2019 for unlawfully stealing his voicemails after hacking his phone.

The claims against the Mirror Group Newspapers were filed in the High Court of Justice on Harry’s behalf, involving “illegal interception of voicemail messages,” Buckingham Palace confirmed, but no further details had been revealed back then.

Harry’s relationship with the British press has never been a friendly one as he believes they are to be partially blamed for his mother’s car crash, who died while being chased by the paparazzi. Further, Harry claimed that the tabloids have been attacking his wife, Meghan Markle, in a similar manner to that they used with late Princess Diana.

Harry isn’t the sole celebrity who’s suing the newspapers. On the contrary, over 100 other people, including the estate of the late George Michael, are suing the Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) for alleged misuse of private information between 1991 and 2011. It includes phone hacking and intercepting voicemails. Allegedly, senior executives were aware of the hacking and turned a blind eye.

According to Harry’s claim, over 140 published stories by the newspapers that were written about him were the result of unlawful behavior, and the trial involves just 33 of them.

“As a teenager and in my early 20s, I ended up feeling as though I was playing up to a lot of the headlines and stereotypes that [the tabloid press] wanted to pin on me mainly because I thought that, if they are printing this rubbish about me and people were believing it, I may as well ‘do the crime,’ so to speak,” Harry said in the statement, further adding that these articles played a destructive role during his childhood and teenage years.

“It was a downward spiral, whereby the tabloids would constantly try and coax me, a ‘damaged’ young man, into doing something stupid that would make a good story and sell lots of newspapers.

“Looking back on it now, such behavior on their part is utterly vile.”

Among the many things that got destructed by these published articles involving Harry was his relationship with ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy. When Harry entered the High Court on Wednesday, he opened up about his former relationship and said that it was doomed because of “the prying eyes of the tabloids.”

“It was just that feeling of being under surveillance all the time,” the 38-year-old wrote. “I believe Chelsy found this even more difficult to deal with when she lived in England … everyone has a limit as to what they can endure,” The Duke of Sussex said as reported by The New York Times.

Speaking of the time the two met, Harry said that Davy knew very little about his family. “Unlike so many girls I met, she wasn’t visibly fitting herself for a crown the moment she shook my hand… Not only was she uninterested in my title, she seemed bored by it,” he wrote in his all-tell memoir Spare.

At the time, he believed she was the one, but it was the media that caused him troubles as he was worried that they “would cost me another person I cared about.”

Allegedly, in the 55-page-long submission to the High Court, Harry revealed he flirted with another woman while dating Davy, calling himself “immature” and stating he made a “stupid decision.”

“I hadn’t really thought about my actions, and I had made a stupid decision,” Harry said as per The Sun. “It was a challenging period for me.”

In an article titled Chelsy Is Not Happy, the author wrote how Davy learned Harry visited a lap-dancing club back in 2006 and was furious because of that. She allegedly screamed to him on the phone. “It said she slammed the phone down because she was too angry and then called back to scream at me for half an hour,” Harry said of the article and added he doesn’t recall that to be true.

“To the best of my recollection, I don’t think Chelsy did go mad about me going there. We did speak about it over the phone, but I promised her that I hadn’t had a lap dance and stayed with the three other cadets that had girlfriends,” Harry added.

Following his witnessing, experts took stands over whether flirting is in fact cheating, and according to most of them, it is.

For example, licensed family therapist Christie Tcharkhoutian said: “I think the biggest misconception is that cheating has to be physical— that’s not the case. It can be emotional, and it can be flirting… If you don’t ask yourself the deeper questions, flirting may become a gateway drug to cheating down the line.”

Harry and Chelsy Davy called their relationship quits in 2011 but remained good friends. She attended Kate and William’s wedding, and later, Harry and Meghan’s as well.

In 2022, Davy married husband Sam Cutmore-Scott and they welcomed a son together.

Goldie Hawn’s 7-year-old granddaughter is pretty much a spitting image of her famous grandma

By

For two people to love each other unconditionally and be together for a long time, they definitely don’t have to be married, and one of the cutest and most adorable Hollywood couples, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel, are just the perfect proof of that.

In fact, they once said that the reason their relationship lasted for that many years is exactly the fact that they never tied the knot.

“So as long as my emotional state is in a state of devotion, honesty, caring, and loving, then we’re fine. I like waking up every day and seeing that he is there and knowing that I have a choice. There is really no reason to marry,” Goldie explained in an interview with Woman’s Day in 2007.

Today, the couple is happier than ever with their grandchildren. Yes, believe it or not, bombshell Goldie is a grandmother and one of her granddaughters, Rio, looks exactly like her famous granny.

When the actress’ daughter, Kate Hudson, gave birth to her youngest child, baby Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, last year, Goldie was in the delivery room and witnessed the precious moment of seeing her granddaughter entering the world. She shared the one-of-a-time experience she will cherish forever on the Ellen’s Show. “The doctor was in there and I could see the head and then it disappeared,” the proud grandma said. “And I’m looking over his shoulder, then the doctor turned to me and said ‘Goldie if you get any closer you’re gonna fall in.’”

Goldie has two other grandchildren from her daughter, boys Ryder Russell, 15, and Bingham Hawn Bellamy, 8.

The Christmas Chronicles stars have three other grandchildren from Goldie’s son Oliver Hudson.

The couple is always sharing photos of the little ones and have said in many occasions that their grandkids make them happiest grandparents ever. When baby Rani Rose was married, Kate shared an adorable photo of Goldie and Kurt cuddling with her, and people loved the devotion they showed, saying it was a representation of the purest form of love there is.

“I look at our kids and grandchildren and there’s nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all them,” Goldie said, as per Australian Women’s Weekly. “Being a grandmother is amazing, I love it. It brings incredible joy. Family is so important.” Her grandkids called her “GoGo” and we thing that’s adorable.

Kurt agrees that the most important thing in the couple’s life are their kids and grandchildren.
