Kate Middleton reveals how she suffered a painful injury – it is still causing her trouble

It goes without saying that Kate Middleton executes her role of a Princess to perfection. Not only she’s loved by her people, but also by million of others from all over the world.

Many agree that the way she speaks to the public during official visits resembles the way late Princess Diana approached the people. It seems like Kate is going the same path as her mother-in-law, and that makes her even more adorable.

Experts believe that the new title made Kate feel more powerful. Some say that once she became Princess of Wales, she no longer sees herself as William’s wife only, but as a leading member of the royal family.

“Kate’s body language has changed since she became Princess of Wales, but perhaps not in the way that people might have expected,” body language expert Judi James shared with Express.

“The pressure could have caused some signs of anxiety and even imposter syndrome, but instead her confidence signals have been on an upward trajectory recently.”

“She is now at something of a peak in terms of sending out signals, which suggests she now not only fully embraces and understands her role, but that she feels comfortable in it, too,” James continued.

She appears more confident and more independent than ever before.

At the time being, Kate is said to be getting ready to launch a brand new campaign to help children and future generations.

This isn’t the first time the lovely Princess to be doing something meaningful for the children in need. Throughout the years, she has worked tirelessly to highlight social issues such as child care in hospitals and homelessness among children.

“Of course, there have been other distractions but the princess has had far more important things on her mind. It’s an important and exciting time,” a royal source told Mirror.

“The campaign she has been working on really is the result of several months behind the scenes (and) will launch a new three to five year programme.”

Further, the source added, “(Kate) spends a lot of time reading, meeting and speaking with professionals across the entire field – but this isn’t just one project, it’s an opportunity to make generational change for all our children.

“There are a number of creative parts in the process for parents and non-parents to be involved across the country with lots more to come and the hope is as many people as possible, from those in the medical and academic world as well as parents and non-parents, join the journey.”

Recently, she visited the HM Prison High Down in Sutton. The reason for the visit was the Forward Trust and how it helps those in the criminal justice system recover from their addictions. Kate became patron of this organization back in 2021.

During the visit, the Princess got the chance to speak to some of the prisoners about overcoming alcohol addiction, saying she doesn’t believe that addiction is a choice.

As always, Kate was dressed in accordance to the occasion.

The Princess of Wales wore Alexander McQueen dress and showed off her hew hairstyle described by the Daily Mail as “70s-style bangs and curls in her slightly shorter locks.”

“With a new season coming it’s lovely to see Kate showcasing a new hairstyle which is slightly shorter & with more layering,” personal stylist Lisa Talbot shared with the Daily Mail.

“I think this signifies a royal that is young and modern and really wants to embrace a fresh look that creates a personal brand that draws the public to her. It shows trust, empathy, kindness, and a wanting to show that she is like many women who can and will change with the times.”

However, it was another detail that caught the attention of many. Two of Kate’s fingers were wrapped in a bandage. She revealed that she injured herself while playing with the kids on the trampoline.

Speaking to a parent of one of the prisoners, Kate joked about her strapped-up fingers.

Earlier, during an appearance on Mike Tindall’s podcast, The Good, The Bad, And The Rugby, she said, “I suppose as a family, we were just very active.

“And I can always remember being physical, using our bodies, whether it’s walking, climbing the lake district in Scotland [or] swimming from a young age. [My parents] always encouraged us to be physically active and sporty, and they always encouraged us into doing team sports and trying things.”

Kate’s injury stopped her from helping her husband see through a log during a visit to a primary school in Hereford as she couldn’t put gloves on.

“I can’t even put that on because I’ve got two fingers stuck together!” she said.

We are glad Kate’s injury is not serious.

Mom dies while giving birth to daughter from rare childbirth complication

Young woman granddaughter daughter hold old female hand of mother grandma sit on sofa, two women generation help support concept, senior people parents grandparents care and comfort, close up view

Although it’s something natural, childbirth is at times a complex process.

It’s not uncommon that unexpected issues arise while a mom is delivering her baby, and sadly, doctors are sometimes unable to prevent tragedies from taking place, such in the case of a five-time mother named Kelli Tyler.

This incredible woman was over the moon by the thought of welcoming a fifth child into her life. Her excitement could be seen from the photos and the videos she shared through which she documented her pregnancy.

The ultrasounds were always neat and nothing spoke trouble during the nine months that Tyler carried her baby.

On the day of the delivery, she faced a dangerous and life-threatening complication which claimed her life.

Namely, the amniotic fluid got into her bloodstream and caused severe damage.

“The amniotic fluid got into Kelli’s bloodstream [and] she was losing blood more than she could take in,” Julie Roach, Tyler’s mother, explained. “I think the last words my granddaughter said — she said — were, ‘I’m about to faint.’”

An amniotic fluid embolism can happen either during the process of giving birth or shortly after.

Shutterstock

According to the Cleveland Clinic, it is “very difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can be similar to other serious complications during childbirth.”

Further, the clinic’s website writes that this is why “for reasons that are mostly unknown, some people have a severe allergic response to amniotic fluid mixing with their blood.” The consequences could be cardiac arrest, uncontrolled breathing, or lung failure.

“She would come around for a minute or so and she would code again,” Roach said of her daughter’s final moments.

As of the sweet baby, Jalie, she would never meet her mom, but her family will make sure she learns about her through photos, videos, and stories of how kind Tyler was.

When it comes to Jalie’s health condition, doctors aren’t sure whether her traumatic birth would affect her in any ways.

The family started a GoFundMe page to help them with the unexpected medical costs. In a week time, three times the amount set out to be raised was raised.

We are so very sorry for this tragic loss.

Worker told to take patient to room, only for gripping camera footage to cause a stir afterwards

They say that “if you love what you do, you’ll never have to work a day in your life,” and one very special man is here to prove this right. 

Lindon Beckford has worked at a hospital for more than 30 years. His job is to take patients from the operation room to their ward. This may not sound like a very important position, but when you hear what this amazing man does for the people he cares for, you’ll understand that he really makes huge difference in their stay at the hospital and makes it the most pleasant and calming it can get. 

He is well aware that these patients may feel scared and anxious, so he’s always going an extra mile and makes sure they feel relieved by putting a smile on their face. 

YouTube

The first thing he does is introduce himself to the patients. He says, “My name is Lindon and I’ll be your chauffeur.” After that he starts doing what he enjoys, and make his patients enjoy too. He sings to them. Many are so surprised by his kind act that they can’t hold their tears of joy. 

Believe it or not, he does this for every patient, for nearly 31 years. 

When he first started working at the hospital, singing was just something that came to him naturally, but he quickly became aware of the effect it had on the terrified patients. Very often, it happens that they start singing along, and it’s mesmerizing to watch and listen to. 

YouTube

Needless to say, they all feel flattered and special. They stop thinking of their problems even for a while and that means so much to them. 

It really takes someone special to do what Lindon does. We definitely need more people like him in the world.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle ignored Queen Elizabeth’s wish for Lilibet

The life of the British royals has always been intriguing for the public, and it seems that the moment Harry and Meghan decided to step down from their royal duties and leave Britain behind, the members of the Firm have a hard time keeping anything behind closed doors.

Harry and Meghan sought privacy, or at least that was one of the reasons why they decided to settle in sunny California. The truth is, however, that ever since the Megxit, they have both been under the spotlight more than ever. They give interviews, do podcasts, and shoot documentaries. Harry even published an all-tell memoir, Spare, in which he accused the royals of plenty of things.

It seems that the only person Harry never spoke ill of is his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, who passed away in September of last year.

On the contrary, Harry and his granny had always been very close. Their bond was a strong one, and her passing filled his heart with grief.

The Queen met Harry’s daughter, Lilibet, when the couple flew to Britain for the celebration of her Platinum Jubilee.

Harry and Meghan attended only a handful of events, including the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Another reason for celebration back then was Lilibet’s first birthday. Since the Sussexes were in Britain, the proud parents decided to throw a picnic party at Frogmore Cottage, their UK home. Since this was the first time for the sweet girl to visit her father’s homeland, the event was even more meaningful.

Netflix

Queen Elizabeth was reported to have been in attendance but she refused to take photos with her great-grandchildren. As per The Sun, she banned Harry and Meghan from having a photographer present because she didn’t want any images to be made public. Camilla Tominey, royal expert, claimed one of the reasons was that the Queen had a bloodshot eye.

“Harry and Meghan wanted their photographer to capture the moment Lilibet met the Queen,” an insider told The Sun. “But they were told no chance. It was a private family meeting.”

William and Kate didn’t attend Lilibet’s birthday party. It was reported that they traveled to Wales together with their three children.

“William and Kate made no effort at all to introduce Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to [Lili],” royal expert Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly, adding that there is still “a lot of tension” between Harry and Meghan and William and Kate.

“As far as I know, nobody believes they spoke [to one another] during the celebrations,” he claimed.

Netflix

Now, new details of Lilibet’s first birthday celebration emerged.

According to Paul Burrell, Princess Diana’s former butler who worked for her from 1987 until 1997, Queen Elizabeth had prepared another celebration for the one-year-old.

He claimed that the Queen even had a cake for Lili and waited for the Sussexes but they declined the invite.

“She saw her the day before. But on her birthday, the queen had a birthday cake made with one candle in it. And they never turned up. That candle was never lit.

“The next day, she asked if maybe they’d like to come up for tea again and was told they’ve gone,” Burrell remembered. “‘What do you mean they’ve gone?’ she said. They’ve gone back to America. ‘Oh no, they never said goodbye,’” Burrell added.

Allegedly, the Queen was confused by her grandson’s move.

“Well, I don’t understand anyone that could do that. Not her family, why would you want to? She was devoid of jealousy, anger, envy, all those traits that we associate with other people she didn’t have. She was just a very simple soul. I wish the world could have known her the way I knew her,” Burrell said in the interview with the Mirror.

“She was a mother, a granny, a great granny to all of them. And they all miss her. Even Harry and Meghan in Los Angeles will be thinking about the queen on her anniversary because Harry was a particular favourite.”

These claims haven’t been backed up by any other sources.

This isn’t the first time that Diana’s former butler speaks of the royals. In the past, he made many revelations which left Harry furious.

The Prince even accused Burrell of using his mother’s name in order to make money.

“Mummy’s former butler had penned a tell-all which actually told nothing. It was merely one man’s self-justifying, self-centering version of events. My mother once called this butler a dear friend and trusted him implicitly. We did too. Now this,” Harry wrote in Spare.

“He was milking her disappearance for money. It made my blood boil.”

Julie Andrews makes rare public appearance at 87, and everyone’s saying the same thing

LOS ANGELES - JUN 9: Julie Andrews at the 48th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute Celebrating Julie Andrews at Dolby Theater on June 9, 2022 in Los Angeles, CA

Actress Julie Andrews has always been a synonym for elegance and grace.

Her career has spanned decades, and for Andrews, it all started when she discovered her four-octave-singing voice which led to her landing her first Broadway performance on The Boy Friend in 1954. However, it was the role of Eliza Doolittle in the famous musical My Fair Lady that led to the world learning of Andrews and her talent.

Andrews’ career skyrocketed with her iconic role of Mary Poppins for which she won an Academy Award.

Speaking of the role and the film, Andrews said, “It was a brand new thing in my life that I’d never done before. It was for Walt Disney, of course, and the songs in Mary Poppins had a kind of Vaudeville quality to them. 

“I think it’s what attracted me to the role, because all that kind of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Jolly Holiday music was very much like the kind of things that you hear in English vaudeville,” the actress added.

The film helped Disney break records, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1964 and earning 13 nominations at the Academy Awards.

The inspiration behind the costumes, which were formal on the outside but colorful on the inside, was Andrews’ then-husband Tony Walton.

“Because I think that’s what gives her pleasure. Very formal on the outside and a little bit wicked on the inside,” he told her at the time, the actress revealed.

“It completely gave me a clue as to her character. Big, big help for me,” she added, giving him credit.

Most recently, Andrews narrated Netflix’s Bridgerton series as Lady Whistledown, but said she doesn’t have any plans of appearing on camera, completely shutting down that possibility.

“No, no, no,” she said. “You know who Lady Whistledown really is, so I’m afraid it stays with me in the background. But I’m very happy to do that.”

Andrews’ fans were happy to see the actress looking as radiant as ever on recent photos of her obtained by the Daily Mail.

The 87-year-old actress was spotted at the Sag Harbor farmers’ market in The Hamptons on Long Island, New York. Walking with a help of a cane, she waved at the passersby who greeted her.

Andrews could be seen holding two boxes of Lu Petit Écolier dark chocolate cookies, while her daughter Emma Hamilton, who accompanied her and helped get inside the SUV, carried a a bouquet of flowers.

It is known that she and her daughter are very close and have a very strong bond. What’s most, they have worked together over the years and wrote 30 books together.

Shutterstock

As always, Andrews was perfectly dressed. She wore a light gray long-sleeve shirt paired with fitted trousers and had a white scarf around her neck. She enhanced her looks with golden earrings and tote bag.

Her fans were quick to comment about the delight of seeing Andrews. One person wrote, “Lovely as ever,” while another added: “So beautiful.”

Realizing that despite her advanced age Andrews hasn’t lost her charm and her signature smile made many happy.

Boy is bullied for his pink T-shirt: When I see his teacher the next day, my heart breaks

Bullying in schools deprives a huge number of children of their right to education. Sadly, this form of violence is way more common than people assume and schools are sometimes unable to prevent it from taking place.

Unfortunately, the consequences of bullying are long-lasting and affect the victim’s self-esteem.

William Gierke, 9, wanted to contribute to the raise of awareness of breast cancer by buying a pink T-shirt with the words Tough Guys Wear Pink written on it.

He felt proud and couldn’t wait to wear the T-shirt to school not assuming that his classmates would make fun of him.

When they saw him wearing pink, they started calling him names such as “sissy.”

TODAY’S TMJ4 / YouTube

William felt heartbroken and went home crying. When his mom realized that he was bullied because of the color of his outfit, she was mad. Seeing her son chocking in tears didn’t feel right. He was so hurt that he didn’t even want to go to school the following day.

His mom didn’t know how to help him, but luckily, his teacher was there to make things right.

Namely, William’s teacher, David Winter, learned of the bullying so he decided to step up for William by wearing a pink T-shirt himself.

His teacher showing solidarity meant the world to William.

“I feel more comfortable, I don’t let it bother me anymore,” William said after his teacher took a stand against the bullies.

We need more people like this teacher in the world. It’s because of actions like their that this world is a much better place.

Lipreader reveals William and Kate’s painful words on first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death

September 8th marked the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s passing.

As expected, members of the Firm attended church prayers and laid flowers to commemorate the late queen who was the head of the monarchy longer than any other monarch in history.

For a huge number of Britons, Queen Elizabeth II was more than just a ruler who led their country for incredible 70 years. She was their strength and a motherly figure, thus her passing brought immense grief and sadness.

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.

Prior to her passing, media reported that the Queen was under medical supervision as her health was fragile.

BBC One suspended its regular program amid the concerns over Queen Elizabeth’s well-being.

Prime Minister Liz Tuss issued a statement saying that she received the news of the Queen’s passing around 4.30 p.m. local time.

“We’re all devastated by the news that we have just heard from Balmoral. The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built,” Truss said.

“Our country has grown and flourished under her reign. Britain is the great country it is today because of her,” she added.

“We are now a modern, thriving, dynamic nation. Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth II provided us with the stability and strength that we needed.”

A close friend of the late Queen opened up about her final days and revealed that monarch was in ‘a lot of pain’ and that her sight and hearing had deteriorated considerably in the weeks leading to her death.

“For the last years of her life, certainly from when her husband died [in April 2021], the Queen was in a lot of pain,” the source close to the late Queen’s told The Daily Beast.

“In the final months, of course, it got very much worse; by the time of the Platinum Jubilee, she couldn’t see very much, she couldn’t hear very much, and she was easily confused,” the friend of Queen Elizabeth added.

“She barely moved from her apartments in Windsor Castle. Appearing on the balcony at Windsor Castle for the Jubilee required a titanic effort.”

King Charles and Queen Elizabeth attended Crathie Kirk church for a private memorial prayer on Friday morning.

Charles thanked the nation for remembering his late mother. In a statement, the King wrote, “In marking the first anniversary of Her Late Majesty’s death and my accession, we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service, and all she meant to so many of us.

“I am deeply grateful, too, for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year as we do our utmost to be of service to you all.”

Prince Harry, who was very close to his grandmother, attended the WellChild Awards in London and paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth.

“As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year as my grandmother passed away. As you probably also know, she would have been the first person to insist that I still come to be with you all instead of going to her,” Harry said.

“And that’s precisely why I know exactly one year on that she’s looking down on us tonight, happy we are together – continuing to spotlight such an incredible community.”

Before heading to Germany for the Invictus Games, Harry visited his grandmother’s resting place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on September 8.

William and Kate took part in a service remembering Queen Elizabeth at the historic St. David’s Cathedral.

As a tribute to the late Queen, Kate wore pearl and diamond earrings from the late Queen’s jewelry collection.

“Pearls are one of the very few jewelry items you can wear in mourning and are inextricably linked with Queen Elizabeth and her personal jewelry legacy,” Bethan Holt, author of The Queen: 70 Years of Majestic Style, previously told People. “It’s a symbol of mourning a monarch but also a grandmother or great-grandmother.”

As the couple were leaving the cathedral, they got the chance to chat to some of the people in front of it, including the local flying instructor Patricia Mquili Porter OBE. According to lip-reader Jacqui Press, Mquili spoke of her memories of the Queen, to what Kate replied: “We all have wonderful memories of her, we have to hold on to them, cherish them,” as per the Daily Mail.

While signing the visitor’s book, a member of the staff pointed to a beautiful message written in lovely handwriting, to what Kate added: “Yes, indeed. It’s wonderful to see what they were thinking about at that time.”

“Some great memories of The Queen,” William added. Kate then smiled and noted that she “had to be conscious” of signing her signature.

The Prince and Princess of Wales also spoke to the media and shared photos of late Queen Elizabeth. In one of them, she was meeting her beloved corgis, and in another she was surrounded by her great-grandchildren at Balmoral Castle.

“Today we remember the extraordinary life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. We all miss you. W&C.”

The pilot’s emotional reaction when he discovered why birds were flying alongside the plane

A man named Jason has been working as a pilot for many years. During the course of his career, he’s faced plenty of unexpected situations which required quick-thinking in order to be resolved.

One particular situation, however, made him a hero.

During a flight which had just taken place, the plane Jason operated was suddenly attacked by a colossal flock of birds that were creating bangs on the plane’s windows.

The sight was so unusual that it left Jason in a state of shock. However, knowing that the lives of the passengers were in his hands, he tried to find a way and escape the angry birds, which wasn’t as easy as he through it would.

As he tried to convince everyone on the flight that everything was going to be just right, he prayed that the birds don’t damage the engine.

Sadly, the birds were only getting more and more aggressive, leaving Jason wondering what to do next in order to get rid of them.

He called for flight control assistance but the control tower was silent.

Unable to maintain control of the plane, he made a decision to return to the airport but the attacks became even more aggressive that he was eventually forced to attempt a maneuver he had never tried before; water landing.

No matter how crazy that sounded, it was the only reasonable option that came to this pilot’s mind.

Despite the rough landing, no passenger was injured.

Rescuers arrived at the scene and tugboats were dispatched to pull the plane out of the water. Each of the passengers was taken to safety, but it took some time for this rescue operation to take place since the attacks by the birds continued. The rescue services tried to frighten them, but the birds were persistent, and nobody knew why.

An investigation finally revealed what triggered the flock of birds to attack the plane. It turned out that one of the passengers was trying to smuggle some birds and was involved in the illegal trade in exotic birds.

When everything ended and Jason realized everyone was safe, he felt relieved and cried tears of joy. Not only he avoided a catastrophe, but he exposed a criminal trade.

This is yet another example of the challenges people who are part of the aviation face.

Jason was praised for his action and his ability to stay calm and focused on ensuring the safety on every passenger on board.

It was all thanks to this man that the illegal business that caused the birds’ strange behavior to be brought to an end.
