Everyone’s noticing the same thing about Kate Middleton’s latest outfit

Kate Middleton, the beloved Princess of Wales, revealed in January 2025 that she was in remission.

Since her cancer prevented her from performing her royal duties, now that she is feeling better, her people are hoping to see more of her when it comes to public outings.

In recent months, Kate has visited several hospital where he met with cancer patients.

Following one of those visits, she opened up of the difficult time that comes after being declared cancer-free.

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” Kate Middleton told People.

“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to. And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”

She added: “You have to find your new normal and that takes time…and it’s a rollercoaster, it’s not smooth, like you expect it to be.

“But the reality is you go through hard times.”

Most recently, the princess visited Colchester Hospital in Essex and spent time in the award-winning Colchester Wellbeing Garden.

The garden is the result of a joint initiative with NHS staff, providing both staff and patients with a place to relax.

The designer behind the project, Adam Frost, praised Kate after her visit.

“You can tell she truly understands the power of nature and what we’re trying to achieve as gardeners,” he told the garden charity RHS. “When the Princess of Wales kneels down with her hands in the soil without hesitation, you know she really gets it.”

Kate joined a team of garden volunteers to plant “Catherine’s Rose,” a rose named in her honor by the RHS.

The funds raised from the sell of the flowers benefit the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Additionally, 500 more plants will be gifted to community gardens across the UK this summer.

“Most of her focus was on the people she met and the conversations she’d had,” Adam Frost said of Kate. “She then shared her thoughts about the garden based on what she had just heard, which is really rewarding to hear – it’s amazing how well it’s been received.”

“I could tell she wanted to plant more. She’d definitely make a great gardening buddy,” he said, jokingly.

What everyone agreed on was that the outfit Kate Middleton chose for the occasion was spot on.

“The Princess of Wales is a ‘dream come true.’ Her manner of promoting importance causes in attire to fit each occasion is HER master class,” one user wrote.

A second fan added: “I love Catherine’s blazer style! This combo knocks my socks off!”

A third stated, “The Princess is so elegant and classy even while sporting a casual fashion look! Simply unequalled!” while a fourth said, “Her outfit is a superb choice. Smart to roll up the cuffs on the flattering striped shirt.”

Another person wrote: “I really like her clothing, sporty but elegant at the same time, the Princess has an innate elegance.” Another added: “Gorgeous. The POW looks radiant. Great look; the beige jacket is enhanced by the dark brown trousers & the darker beige striped shirt. It’s easy to get lost in an all beige ensemble. Yes, ladies, we can wear trainers & still look polished and chic.”

I attended my husband’s office party not expecting to see his other ‘wife’ there

It was one of those quiet night during which my husband and I spent the evening watching movies on his lap top. At one moment, he went to the bathroom and just there and then an email message popped up on the screen.

His company was throwing their annual New Year party, and for the first time ever, they allowed a plus one.

“Dear Mr. Marcus. We are happy to announce that the party is coming up! Dress code: White Party. You may bring your plus-one. Address…”

I got super hyped to finally meet his work buddies.

“Hey, hun, you got a message from work about the party, they are inviting a plus one” I said enthusiastically. However, my hubby was nowhere as thrilled as I was.

“I don’t think you should come. I’ll be working late anyways, it’s not a big deal.”

His behavior seemed a bit off, but I brushed it off believing he really didn’t care about the party.

Anyways, I thought it would be a nice surprise if I got ready and still went there not knowing I’d walk into a nightmare.

Once at the place where the party was supposed to be held — a grand hotel — the front desk manager welcomed with a smile.

“I’m Mr. Marcus’s plus one,” I said. But then the manager looked at me awkwardly and that’s when I knew something wasn’t right.

“Miss, Mr. Marcus’ plus one has already arrived alongside Mr. Marcus,” he said.

“Oh, that can’t be,” I said and asked him to double check. However, even before he said anything, I spotted my husband with another woman. They were really close, I could tell that for sure, but the crowed blocked my view. At one moment, they stared walking and I could see they were holding hands.

“No need to double check,” I said and left the place.

In the morning, I poured myself some coffee waiting for my husband to get to the kitchen. I slept in a separate room because I didn’t want to confront him right away, I just needed time till the morning to figure out what to say.

But then, the phone rang. “Mrs. Marcus, we are calling from the hospital. Your husband was involved in a car accident. He’s fine now, but we need you to come.”

“A car accident?” I thought this could be the karma catching up to him, but my real revenge was even better.

Once at the hospital, I was informed that my husband was awake and stable but he needed an emergency surgery on his arm. The thing was that his insurance policy lapsed the month before and they needed my consent and financial authorisation in order to proceed.

I said I needed to talk to my husband first.

He looked pale and scared. I didn’t even enter the room, just stood at the door and told him I knew everything. I said I went to the party and saw him with the other woman.

He tried to defend himself, saying he made a mistake and that he was sorry, but I wasn’t buying it—not after I saw it with my own eyes.

“By the way, maybe SHE can help you cover the hospital bill,” I said and left.

A couple of days later, I got another call from my husband. He begged me to go to the hospital and sign the forms.

It turned out the other woman didn’t want to have anything with him any more.

I wasn’t glad he found himself in such situation, but I didn’t feel sorry for him either. What I knew was that I didn’t want to be with that man any longer. He wasn’t worth my time or my money.

Elon Musk catches everyone off guard right after Trump’s bill gets approved by Congress

Elon Musk, President Trump’s former “buddy,” added fuel to the fire with a post on X right after the Congress approved the tax-cut and spending bill proposed by Trump.

The Tesla founder opposed the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ from the start.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote when the bill was proposed. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

Trump took to Truth Social to suggest that Musk’s criticism of his government’s agenda—and the bill specifically—results from its plan to eliminate the electric vehicle mandate.

“Elon may get more [subsidies] than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,” Trump wrote. “No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE.”

Musk, who spent millions on Trump’s presidential campaign and served as the head of DOGE under Trump’s administration, caught everyone off guard when he suggested starting a third political party, the “America Party.”

On Saturday, Musk posted on X that the “America Party” has formed after polling his followers on X.

“Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?”

Following the voting, Musk posted, “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

According to Forbes, in response to Musk’s threats, Trump hinted that he might take away government funding from Musk’s companies and consider investigating the possibility of his deportation.

Cashier learns she owns a $3.8 million business

When Matthew Markham noticed the tag name of the cashier, Gregory, he knew he was at the right place.

He approached him and said he needed to talk to him about Linda.

Linda was Gregory’s daughter. After his wife left him because she believed he lacked ambition and was happy working as a cashier, Linda was everything Gregory had.

“Is she in some kind of trouble?” Gregory asked the man.

Matthew shook his head. “Do you have a few minutes, please?”

The two man set down for coffee, and deep down, Gregory knew what the conversation with the stranger would be about.

“Linda is adopted, right?” Matthew asked, and that’s when Gregory’s world turned upside down.

“Yes, she is, but she doesn’t know that, and you can’t tell her,” Gregory said.

It turned out Matthew was Linda’s biological father. Up until that moment, he didn’t even know she existed.

His girlfriend died at childbirth and he was told that the baby passed away, too — instead, it was given up for adoption.

Matthew didn’t want to disturb Linda’s life, he just wanted to know what she was like and whether her life turned good. But realizing how much Gregory loved her and cared for her, he felt like he had found the answer.

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell her anything, I just wanted to make sure she was safe and cared for.”

However, although he made a promise, Matthew needed to see Linda, so the following day, he pretended to be a homeless person and entered the store where she worked as a cashier, just like Gregory.

He took a few essential food items to her checkout and waited while she rang them up. “I’m sorry, Miss,” he said once she told him the cost. “I can’t afford all of that. I’ve only got ten dollars.”

Linda smiled at him and said, “Don’t worry about it, sir. I’ll cover the rest.”

Matthew smiled back, his heart full of joy at the woman his daughter had become.

A couple of days later, he visited the store once again, but this time, he wore his best suit.

He grabbed some items, headed to the checkout, and yelled, “Get out of the way,” pushing his way to the front of the queue.

“I’m in a hurry,” he yelled, wanting to see Linda’s reaction.

As polite as ever, she turned to him and said, “Mister, I don’t care who you are, every customer is equal, and you won’t be served unless you get to the end of the queue.”

This was yet another proof of how special Linda was.

It didn’t take long before Linda received a letter from her biological father’s lawyer. He gave her he business that was worth $3.8 million.

But that didn’t make any sense to this young lady who always worked hard for everything she had.

Once at the lawyer’s office, Gregory told her the truth. He confessed that she was adopted and told her about Matthew, that he came to visit him and wanted to learn everything about her.

Linda was overwhelmed. At first, she was mad Gregory hadn’t told her the truth before, but at the same time, she was thankful for everything he had done for her, and knew he always loved her unconditionally.

“You can meet your real father if you want to,” Gregory said to his daughter. “He is a good man and deserves to have you in his life.”

A couple of days later, when everything settled down, Linda made the decision to meet Matthew.

He never did her wrong because he never knew she existed. But he reached out the moment he learned he had a daughter.

While she continued living with her adoptive father, Matthew remained an important part of Linda’s life.

The military sleep method that can help you fall asleep in just two minutes

Sleep deprivation and difficulties falling asleep are more common that you might think. Most people experience these issues at certain point in their lives, and the reasons vary.

Some of the causes are stress and anxiety, poor sleep environment, consuming too much caffeine and nicotine, irregular sleep schedule, as well as medical conditions and hormonal changes.

When you are sleep deprived, you are likely to feel tired, forgetful, and irritable during the day.

Luckily, there are ways that can help you fall asleep easily, and a military sleep method that is currently trending on the social media is one of them.

Justin Agustin, a fitness and health influencer, is the man who popularized this military sleep method that apparently helps you fall asleep in just two minutes.

According to him, it works for 96% of those who have given it a go and were more than happy to share the results under the comment section of his viral TikTok video.

“I’m a military brat and was taught this. I also had a veteran psychology teacher in college who taught this. It definitely works.”

Another person added: “I’ve got really bad insomnia and nothing works. I get some sleep with a lot of meds, but I never wake up rested. I’m trying this tonight.”

A third commented: “My mom taught me this and I taught my children. My son has many challenges, and this helps him relax and fall asleep quickly, he’s 9.”

According to Glamour, “[The military sleep method] was created specifically for soldiers in the US military and is geared to work even in intense environments—like a literal battlefield.”

If you want to try it yourself, the video below shows how it’s done.

@justin_agustin Technique to falling asleep in 2 minutes! Insp. AsapSCIENCE on YT #sleep #fallasleep #insomnia #insomniac #learnontiktok #howto ♬ You – Petit Biscuit

Next, exhale and expand your chest while keeping your arms and shoulders relaxed and comfortable. Ease tension in your legs, starting with the thighs, and followed by your calves, ankles, and feet.

Finally, clear your mind by creating a serene image in your mind.

Shocking new study reveals what might be silently destroying human fertility

Unsplash

New research reveals disturbing details related to increased risks of infertility involving microplastics, and humans are likely to be blamed.

The research presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) presents evidence of microplastic found in reproductive fluids at both men and women, affecting the reproductive health.

The study examined follicular fluid from 29 women and seminal fluid from 22 men. These are both essential for natural conception and assisted reproductive procedures.

The analyzed female fluids contained 69% microplastics, with PTFE found in 31% of the samples, while the semen analyzed contained 55%.

“These are fluids that should be pristine, vital to the beginning of life,” Dr. Emilio Gomez-Sanchez who lead the team of scientists remarked. “So to find microplastics here is not just surprising—it’s deeply concerning.”

Except for PTFE — better known as Teflon — scientists also discovered the presence of polypropylene, PET (used in drink bottles), polystyrene, polyurethane, polyamide, and polyethylene.

Microplastics refer to plastic pieces smaller than 5mm that are a result of broken-down waste or products like cosmetics and clothing fibers. Once released in the environment, they are practically impossible to remove. Microplastics find their way inside the human body through the food we consume, the air we breathe, and the water we drink.

Sadly, they also reach human reproductive cells.

Current research conducted on animals show that once inside the body, microplastics can trigger inflammation, cause DNA damage, hormonal disruption, and premature aging of the cells.

“In animal studies, we’ve seen microplastics accumulate in reproductive tissues and impair egg and sperm quality,” Dr. Gomez-Sanchez noted. “It’s possible they could do the same in humans—but we simply don’t know yet.”

Previous studies have detected microplastics in human breast milk, the bloodstream, and even brain tissue.

Dr. Gomez-Sanchez concluded, “There’s no need for alarm at this point. Microplastics are just one of many elements that may play a role in fertility. However, it is sensible to consider ways of reducing our exposure to them. Simple steps, such as using glass containers to store and heat food, or limiting the amount of water we consume from plastic bottles, can help minimize our intake.”

Kate Middleton speaks out on ‘difficult’ time after cancer treatment

Ever since she has posted the video in which she disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the public, Kate Middleton has remained largely out of the picture and was nowhere to be seen. But the time away seemed to fit her because she got the chance to rest.

Today, a year-and-a-half after the diagnosis, she has slowly but surely returned to some of her royal duties.

Most recently, she attended the Trooping of Color event, accompanying her husband and their three children.

According to royal correspondent Rebbeca English, the entire experience has led Kate and William to get a whole new perspective on life.

English says that the trauma she has gone through, changed the beloved princess as a person.

“Cancer impacts on your perspective, and what you have seen in the decisions they have made over the last year is that family and their children continue to be at the center of their universe,” a source told English.

“Both Their Royal Highnesses have a strong commitment to duty, service, and using their platform for good. But what they are working on is ways they can balance themselves as parents with being the Prince and Princess of Wales.

“Everyone is adjusting the dial,” another source said.

On June 2, Kate visited Colchester Hospital in Essex where she met cancer patients and spent time in a specially created outdoor space meant to help them recover during treatment.

People reported that Kate opened up about her cancer journey during the visit. She explained that the time after treatment was different than she imagined.

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” Kate Middleton said.

“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to. And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”

She added: “You have to find your new normal and that takes time…and it’s a rollercoaster, it’s not smooth, like you expect it to be.

“But the reality is you go through hard times.”

Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill star, Michael Madsen, dies aged 67

Prolific actor Michael Madsen, renowned for his memorable performances in Quentin Tarantino classics Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, died aged 67.

Madsen was found unresponsive in his Malibu home Thursday morning after a 911 call. When emergency services arrived at the scene, he was pronounced dead. The cause of death is believed to be a cardiac arrest.

Madsen’s manager Ron Smith confirmed the news of his tragic passing.

“In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films Resurrection Road, Concessions and Cookbook for Southern Housewives, and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life,” the joint statement by the actor’s managers Susan Ferris and Ron Smith and publicist Liz Rodriguez read.

“Michael was also preparing to release a new book called ‘Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems’ currently being edited,” it added. “Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.”

The Chicago-born actor started his acting career, which spanned over 4 decades, in the early ’80s.

He first starred in low-budget films before he appeared in more notable films of the 1980, including Racing With the Moon, The Natural and Kill Me Again.

In 1991, Madsen landed the role of Jimmy, Louise’s put-upon love interest in Ridley Scott’s Thelma & Louise.

What followed was his first collaboration with Tarantino in Reservoir Dogs, where he played Mr. Blonde—a role that marked the start of his high-octane career.

Michael Madsen continued appearing in action-packed films and occasional big hits like Donnie Brasco and Wyatt Earp.

Throughout his career, he starred in more than 70 film, including the classics The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

In 2022, Madsen suffered the loss of his son Hudson, 26, who died of suicide. Two years following Hudson’s passing, Madsen filed for divorce from his wife of 28 years, DeAnna Madsen. He believed her “neglect, drinking, and alcoholism” contributed to their son’s death. The couple shared two other sons, Calvin, 27, and Luke, 18.

Madsen was also a father to sons Christian, 34, and Max, 30, whom he shared with his second wife, actress Jeannine Bisignano, and a daughter, Jessica, whom he had with Dana Hechling. From 1984 to 1988, he was married to his first wife, Georganne LaPiere, the half-sister of Cher.

Tributes poured in for Michael Madsen.

His sister, Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, wrote in a statement to Variety, “My brother Michael has left the stage. He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother – etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark.”
