After the passing of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, there has been a huge void in the Queen’s heart and life. It was her who announced the passing of her husband of 73 years whom she first met and fall in love with when she was still just a teenager.

After their first meeting in 1934 at the wedding of Prince Philip’s cousin, Princess Marina, to Prince George, Duke of Kent, then 13-year-old Elizabeth and Philip became pen-palls.

The couple got engaged on 9 July 1947 after Prince Philip spent a year convincing King George VI to give him his daughter’s hand.

When they got married, Prince Philip was forced to give up his title, Prince of Greece and Denmark, as well as his promising career with the Royal Navy in order to support his wife, the queen, in her royal duties as head of state and 15 commonwealth countries.

Prince Philip has been described as an extraordinary man. He was 99 years old when he passed away and left millions of Britons and his family mourning. Throughout his life as The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip attended more than 20,000 royal engagements and was the Queen’s “strength and stay.”

His grandson, Prince William, spoke of his grandpa as of “an extraordinary man,” while Prince Harry described him as “a man of service, honor and great humor” and a “legend of banter.”

After losing her life-long companion, the Queen seeks comfort in the company of her dogs, corgi Fergus, named after the Queen’s uncle Fergus Bowes-Lyon who was killed during the WW I, and pure-bred corgi Muick, named after Loch Muick, a much loved holiday place of the Royals.

Her Majesty welcomed these two dogs while Prince Philip was hospitalized. According to Daily Mail, a royal source said: “The Queen was left with only one dog at the end of last year. She had made the decision not to get any more because she didn’t think it fair at her age. But it would be unthinkable for her not to have any. It’s like the Tower of London not having any ravens. The new puppies are adorable.”

Royal biographer Penny Junor said of the new addition to the Windsor family: “Her corgis are hugely important to her. They have over the years been closer to her than any human being. The corgis are intensely loyal and loving and they have never let her down.”

Corgis have always been very important to the Royal family. Over the years, over 30 dogs of this breed had lived in the castle, including Monty, Willow, Pickles, Smoky, Crackers, Holly, and Linnet. Many of them have accompanied the Queen to Scotland and other destinations and lived their lives to the fullest.

Now, during this extremely painful period for Queen Elizabeth, her two corgis give her strength and help her cope with the grief.

Recently, Prince Andrew and his daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, gifted another corgi to the Queen for her “official birthday.” It is a lovely six-week-old male whose name hasn’t been revealed yet.

Knowing just how important corgis are to the Queen, we are sure this little guy would be the perfect addition to the royal family.

Devastated owner reunites with service dog after thief steals his car with the dog inside

Service dogs play a very important role when it comes to assisting people who are experiencing difficulties, whether it is autism, PTSD, diabetes, or other illnesses, conditions or impairments. They not only offer assistance in case their owners’ condition gets worse, but help them with their day-to-day tasks and offer love, friendship, and compassion.

A man named Aaron Morris from North Carolina had his service dog Jolene stolen. He was at the gas station when someone jumped into his car and drove away with Jolene and all of Aaron’s belongings.

The heartbroken owner couldn’t believe his baby was taken away from him. In hopes of finding her, he posted online asking for help from the members of the community.

“People in the North Carolina area keep an eye out and tennessee area my poor little girl and my uncle’s car were stolen…[…] They stole my phone most my belonging and my baby girl!” Aaron wrote.

As hours passed by and no one contacted him, Aaron decided to offer a $1,000 reward for his dog. “1000$ please just bring her back WINNGRAY is where you can drop her off!!”

While Aaron was desperately searching for his service dog of 6 years, someone found Jolene on the street and took her to the Morristown Hamblen Humane Society. Unfortunately, since Aaron’s phone was also stolen along with the car and his dog, the staff at the organization couldn’t contact him.

Thankfully, they decided to post a photo of the dog and ask if anyone had any information about her.

A few days later, someone recognized Jolene and informed Aaron, who was over the moon to learn his baby was at a safe place. He headed to Morristown Hamblen Humane Society right away and the reunion between him and Jolene melted the hearts of a huge number of people.

Neither Aaron nor Jolene could contain their happiness. We are so glad everything turned out for the best.

You can take a look at the touching reunion in the video below.

Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet are the new names in the modeling industry. These stunning beauties who were kept out of the limelight by their famous father seem to have all the potential in the world to be successful at what they do. 

Their dad, actor Sylvester Stallone, supports his daughters and we all hope that one day they will be as famous as he is.

Stallone was born in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan but spent most of his childhood in the area of Washington, DC. His distinguishing appearance and recognizable voice are a result of the rough birthing process Sylvester’s mom endured, during which the baby was delivered using forceps and the left side of his face was left paralyzed.

During the early 1970s Stallone struggled a great deal to support himself, until he wrote the script for one of the most famous fighting movies of all time, Rocky. Although this movie was made on a very small budget, it was the highest-grossing film of 1976 and won three Oscars. Because of its fame and how everyone went crazy over the character of Rocky, the movie had five more sequels, four of which written by Stallone.

Once he got his break into acting, Stallone would stop at nothing to make his name famous worldwide. He was part of other huge movies such as Rambo and the Expendables. Stallone was very popular among the ladies and tied the knot three times and his love life has always been in the tabloids. He has 5 children from the three marriages, but unfortunately his son Sage, who was the oldest, passed away from a heart attack in 2012.

He got married to his third wife Jennifer Flavin, the mother of Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet in 1997 and the two have been together ever since.

The couple’s daughters are now rocking the world with their charm, intelligence, and beauty. They are wearing designer clothes and showcasing the world-famous Stallone pout.

The girls are finding their spot in the modeling industry and have all the support from their loving father who is proud of his daughters and makes sure everyone knows that. He recently posted a picture of him along with his daughters and wrote: “With my wonderful daughters on a magazine photo shoot that I crashed… Hey, I’ve got to keep an eye on them, right, and believe me I do…”

Well, not everyone can say they have Rocky Balboa by their side!

Not only they are busy modeling and are rocking it by the way, but they are also walking red carpets with their dad. At 2017 Golden Globe Awards all three were named Miss Golden Globe because of their hard work and artistic vision.

It looks like this is only the beginning and we are yet to hear about the accomplishments of these stunning ladies in the future. Beautiful and smart, a perfect combination for success.

Stallone makes sure everyone knows just how proud he is with his children. A few days ago, his youngest daughter Scarlet graduated from high school and he posted a lovely photo of the family along with the caption: “Congratulations on graduating high school to our wonderful daughter SCARLET!”

Well, not only proud, but protective as well, especially when it comes to boys. “In terms of what to say if we don’t know how to answer a guy’s text. Or if we’re trying to break up with a guy he’ll give us really good advice… on how to cut them off,” Sistine told HollywoodLife. “There are guys that have been broken up with via my dad, and they have no idea.”

What a beautiful family!

Kirstie Alley reveals she wanted intimate relationship with Patrick Swayze

Although minor, the role of half-Vulcan officer Saavik in the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan meant a breakthrough for actress Kirstie Alley.

She was born on January 12, 1951 in Wichita, Kansas, but moved to California to make a name for herself. At the time, the desire to be a celebrity would make a person not humble, and pursuing a career in the industry when you were born in Kansas wasn’t easy, but Kirstie was determined to take her life into her own hands.

In 1981, the actress suffered a tragedy after she lost her mother in a car crash. A drunk truck driver hit her parents’ car. Her dad was seriously injured and Kirstie never found the courage to forgive the killer although he asked from her to accept his apology for the life lost and the pain he caused.

Kirstie’s career took off soon after she had her first role.

She was cast as Gloria Steinem in the TV movie A Bunny’s Tale, and in 1985, she had a minor role in the miniseries North And South. During filming along Patrick Swayze, Kirstie felt strong attraction for the Hollywood legend. In her book, which was published in 2012, The Art of Men (I Prefer Mine al Dente), she wrote how she once begged Swayze to have sex with her, but he turned her down because she was drunk.

“I want to make love with you. I just don’t care anymore, let’s just do it,” she told Swayze. “This man and I never had sex or did sexual things, but I consider what we did more dangerous and a betrayal to our spouses,” she said, according to The Daily Mail. This happened just a year after she tied the knot with second husband Parker Stevenson. Swayze was married to wife Lisa for 10 years at the time.

While appearing in Celebrity Big Brother, the award winning actress also spoke of another celebrity actor she had feelings for. In fact, she sad she is still “in love” with him. That person is John Travolta. “He was potential marriage material. I almost ran off and married John,” she said. “I did love him and still love him,’ she reflected. ‘And if I hadn’t been married I would have gone and married him. And I would have been in an airplane.”

Kisrtie has struggled with her weight most of her life, but a few years back, she finally set her mind to eating and living healthier.

Her weight loss journey is truly inspirational.

“It’s so important for women to look the way they want to look and feel the way they want to feel for their own reasons, not because someone’s telling them to or because it’s fashionable or trendy,” she told Women’s Health in 2014, when she got back to Jenny Craig’s program. “Losing weight is losing weight, but just because you’re skinny does not mean you’re happy.”

Last year, Kirstie was diagnosed with Lyme disease and it makes it a bit more difficult for her to maintain her weight. ”I know when I’m on the thinner side, I love the way I feel. I have more energy,” she said in podcast The Dan Wootton Interview.

We truly love Kirstie and we are happy she’s happy!

Kate Middleton sends her congratulations and “can’t wait” to meet baby Lilibet

The relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle could be described as picture perfect back in the day when the two could be seen hanging out together during numerous royal occasions, as well as a tennis match.

Magazines reported that Kate was always more than happy to lend a helping hand to Meghan when baby Archie was born. However, what was presented in the media seemed to be far from what was going on behind closed doors.

During the all-tell Oprah interview, among the rest, Meghan spoke about Kate and said that she made her cry on the day of her wedding. In fact, when Oprah asked Meghan if she made Kate cry, she said exactly the opposite happened. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were shocked, to say the least, after they heard those accusations. A US Weekly source said that “Kate would never forgive Meghan for throwing shade at her.”

“The interview was the final nail, it’s over. Meghan burned all of her bridges and Kate has no interest in speaking to her,” the source added.

Another source told Mail Online in April: “First and foremost, William cannot countenance the way Meghan has treated his wife. He feels Kate tried at the beginning, but it was never enough.

“To name Kate so publicly during the Oprah interview as the person who made her cry was beyond the pale. Meghan would have been acutely aware that Kate is powerless to fight back.”

Shutterstock

What could have been the final straw that forced Meghan away from the family is a senior royal telling her that she would never be in first division the way Kate has, according to royal author Tom Quinn. Apparently, Meghan wasn’t happy with the fact that Kensington Palace was reserved solely for William and Kate.

Today, Meghan and Harry are settled in their $14 million dollar property in Montecito, California. They became parents for the second time and announced the birth of their daughter earlier in June.

A spokesperson for the couple said: “It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world.

“Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home.

“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.

“This is the second child for the couple, who also have a two-year-old son named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they  enjoy this special time as a family.”

Congratulations came pouring in, and Kate and William were among the well-wishers. “We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili. Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie,” they wrote on their Instagram account.

Last week, before the G7 meeting, the press got a chance to speak to Kate and they made sure they asked her about Lilibet.

“I wish her all the very best. I can’t wait to meet her,” Kate Middleton said. “We haven’t met her yet, so hopefully that will be soon.”

Kate was also the one who was reported to have “forced” her husband and Harry into talking during their late grandfather’s funeral. It looks like she’s ready to put the differences aside and forgive Meghan for accusing her of making her cry on her wedding day.

Airline rejects letting dad and newborn baby on plane so widow takes them home

Getting to be a parent is for most people one of the most incredible things that life can give to us, however, it can also be really scary too, especially if you don’t have people there to support you!

Rubin Swift had sole custody of his daughter, he left his hometown in Cleveland, Ohio, to pick up his newborn little girl, he was so glad to meet four-day-old Ru-Andria.

He really couldn’t wait to bring her home to meet his friends and family too…

When he went to Sky Harbor International airport with Ru-Andria and was getting ready to check in, he was stopped right where he stood…

Even though he had the correct papers, a doctors certificate to say that Ru-Andria could fly, the airline, Frontier, said no she can’t fly!

It seemed they have a policy that says that babies under seven days old cannot fly on their airline, according to azfamily.com.

Stuck in a city that he didn’t know, without anyone to help him at all, Rubin felt himself begin to panic...

He suddenly remembered that there was an elderly woman that he met in the hospital. Joy Ringhofer happens to be a volunteer at the Banner University Medical Center and she had held little Ru-Andria just minutes after the girl was born.

As Rubin first entered the room, he and Joy had got along so well, the two began a great friendship.

It was a real long shot, however, he had no other choice, he called Joy and told her the situation he was in.

Thankfully, Joy didn’t have to even think for a single second, just as Rubin had thought…

What she did was quite special:

“I didn’t expect her to say, ‘I’m coming to get you and take you home.’ So, I’m thinking, ‘She is going to drive me back to Cleveland’ but she actually brought me to her house and feeding me and making sure my baby is alright.”

Then after, what followed during the course of the next three days, it’s definitely proof that there still really are good people in the world.

Take a look at this video to see what happened:

Queen Elizabeth invites Prince Harry to lunch at Windsor Castle

Throughout her life, as well as her reign of almost 70 years, Her Majesty The Queen has seen it all. From Charles and Diana’s tumultuous marriage back in the day, to her son’s Andrew connection to the infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the loss of her beloved husband, and Harry and Meghan’s row with the royal family. However, what we can all agree on is that she’s handling each of the obstacles at the best of her abilities, without creating much fuss.

The most recent events which made all eyes be on the Royal Family are Harry and Meghan’s acts. After they announced their decision to move to the States and leave Britain behind, it was reported by many media outlets that the Queen wasn’t consulted at all, which left the family infuriated.

However, the Sussexes didn’t stop there. On the contrary, they decided to speak publicly of what was going on behind closed doors within The Firm. Among the rest, during their interview with Oprah, Harry and Meghan accused the royals of not providing help for Meghan when she came forward about her mental struggles and her suicidal thoughts. They even said how a senior royal questioned Archie’s skin color before he was born.

The Queen decided not to comment on the accusations. The Palace only provided a short statement on her behalf saying that the family will solve things privately and that Harry and Meghan will always be much loved members of the family.

After the interview, Harry visited Britain for his grandfather’s funeral and talked to his family. However, not much changed in terms of their fragile relationship back then as rumors were he felt “ambushed” and didn’t want to discuss matters without Meghan by his side.

According to the media, it was Prince Charles in particular who was having a hard time forgiving his son for dragging the family name through the mud, but after the birth of Lilibet, he was reported to have started having regular contacts with Harry. The Queen will apparently do the same. As per the Daily Mail, Queen Elizabeth invited Harry for lunch at Windsor during his upcoming visit to Britain for the unveiling of the statue of his late mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday.

“It’s a typically magnanimous gesture by Her Majesty,” a courtier said, as per the Daily Mail. “The lunch will be a chance for them to talk things through.”

Knowing that Her Majesty has a soft spot for Harry, this could be just the perfect opportunity for them to talk things through and mend what seems to be broken.

Woman spots a homeless man pushing a cart full of stray dogs, stops to learn his story

Never in his wildest dreams did a homeless man named Steve think that a chance encounter with a woman named Alicia would change his life dramatically.

Steve has been a homeless man for almost 20 years. His life on the streets of California wasn’t an easy one, but he was never alone. In fact, Steve made friends with the local stray dogs who shared his fate of fending for themselves and being left on their own. Over the years, this man poor in money but rich in heart would spend all he had to feed the 11 dogs who became his life companions.

One day, Steve took to Indiana to visit a friend and took his dogs with him. He built a vehicle using an old bike and a shopping cart and embarked on an adventure that would soon turn serendipitous.

As he was pedaling the “vehicle,” Alicia Edrington spotted him and the sight of him and all those dogs caught her attention. At first, she ignored him, but she somehow couldn’t help but approach and ask where he was going with that many dogs. It was then that Steve shared his life story with her. Alicia was touched to the core and made it her mission to help him. She has never seen someone who loved animals that much. Although he couldn’t even provide enough money even for himself, he did all he could to keep his dogs fed and taken care of.

The first thing she did was contact local rescue organizations. Many were more than happy to step in and placed Steve and his dogs at a pet-friendly motel. However, it was just a temporary solution and everyone knew more than that had to be done in the days to come.

Alicia and the organizations came up with the idea to share Steve’s story on the social media and they even started a fundraiser. They did believe kind people would help, but never knew that so many individuals would be touched by the story.

In just a couple of days, thousands of people donated money and all the dogs were able to get medical attention.

On top of that, Steve was given his own trailer to call his home. He and his furry pals who were by his side during his tough days won’t be homeless any longer. What a happy ending for a huge animal lover.

Check out the whole story in the video below and make sure you share it with your friends.
