When Bruce Willis withdrew from the spotlight his fans wondered what the reason behind that decision could be. Shortly after, his family issued a statement in which they wrote the actor was diagnosed with a more specific condition; frontotemporal dementia.

“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.

“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.

“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”

His wife, Emma, who’s he’s caretaker, shares updates on the condition of the actor with the fans and they are getting more and more worried for his state.

“Dementia is hard. It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. That is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is,” Emma said during an appearance on the Today show for World Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week.

On March 19, Willis celebrated his 69th birthday.

However, the family is concerned about the actor’s weight loss and decreased appetite, as his condition continues to deteriorate.

A source speaking to In Touch disclosed that “he doesn’t express hunger much,” highlighting his weight loss and reduced appetite as alarming signs of declining health.

“According to family members, the challenge at home is making sure that he’s getting enough to eat, that he’s not skipping mealtime, and that his diet is filled with foods that have the chance to improve his health instead of subtract from it…This is a sad situation that should be familiar to anybody who is dealing with a close family member with dementia or Alzheimer’s.” 

The source continued, “He can’t communicate anymore, and he has difficulty recognizing people,” adding that his sharpness is affected.

Glenn Gordon, who plays the lead in Sixth Sense, spoke of Willis’ health. “He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader – he didn’t want anyone to know that – and he’s not reading now.” Gordon, who tries to visit Willis at least once a month, continued, “All those language skills are no longer available to him.”

Willis’ wife took to Instagram in order to address the “negative narrative around dementia.” She posted, “My experience is that two things can be true and exist at the same time. Grief and deep love. Sadness and deep connection. Trauma and resilience.”

She then goes on to clarify, “I can just tell you, that is far from the truth. A hundred percent, there is grief and sadness, there’s all of that. But you start a new chapter…it’s filled with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness.

“I need society and whoever is writing these stupid headlines to stop scaring people, stop scaring people to think that once they get a diagnosis of some kind of neurocognitive disease, that that’s it, it’s over,” she stated, without naming the publication that released the damaging information.

A source close to the family said, “Everybody’s staying positive about Bruce’s future and hopeful that he finds some kind of comfortable plateau or even, God willing, shows signs of improvement.”

Everyone in the family is trying to spend as much time as possible with the actor, and that of course includes his ex-wife Demi Moore and their daughters.

“They know being in the presence of his family seems to bring him a lot of comfort, so that is what they focus on. No matter how much time Bruce has left, they want him to be surrounded by love and happiness.”

We truly hope Bruce Willis’s condition would improve as much as possible.

Prince Philip had a horrible nickname for Meghan Markle

That the relationship between the members of the British royal family has always been a complicated one isn’t something we are not aware of.

Throughout the years, this family, which is one of the most famous and most influential ones, has gone through a lot.

When Meghan Markle was welcomed into the family, people’s opinions regarding Prince Harry’s choice of partner were divided. Being a divorcee, many believed Meghan wasn’t the right person for the beloved Prince, but the royals embraced her with arms wide open.

Now, years after the two tied the knot, a royal commentator opened up about the nickname late Prince Philip had for Harry’s wife, and trust us, it isn’t anything nice.

The nickname hinted at similarities between Meghan and Wallis Simpson, the contentious spouse of former King Edward VIII, both being American and divorced upon marrying into the royal fold.

Allegedly, Prince Philip had a rather low opinion of Meghan Markle, which remained a secret until a book was published, offering insights into the royal family from an insider’s perspective.

Wallis Simpson was an American divorcee who ascended to the title of Duchess of Windsor. She emerged as one of the most contentious royal figures in modern history when King Edward VIII chose to renounce the throne in December 1936, merely a year into his reign, in order to marry her.

At the time, royals were prohibited from marrying someone who was divorced, a rule that remained in force until 2002, just three years before then-Prince Charles and Camilla tied the knot.

After King Edward and Wallis Simpson’s marriage, they were prohibited from returning to Britain without the consent of his brother, the newly crowned King George VI, due to concerns about potential public unrest, as Vogue outlined.

The couple’s years of exile were marked with plenty of scandals. Among the rest, they were photographed visiting then-Nazi Germany and giving the notorious Nazi salute upon meeting Adolf Hitler.

During an interview with GB News, royal biographer Ingrid Seward shed light on Prince Philip’s perspective, suggesting that he believed the similarities between Meghan Markle and Wallis Simpson were many. This led him to come up with a nickname for his grandson’s wife.

“I think that Prince Philip was very canny about people and he didn’t always see bad in people, he often tried to see the good in them,” Seward said.

“He just could not get away from the similarities between Meghan and Harry and Edward and Ms Simpson, which his why he used to call her the Duchess of Windsor. Not to her face though, he used to call her DOW,” she added.

In her book ‘My Mother and I‘, Seward further wrote that the Duke of Edinburgh was “cautious” about the former Suits actress and her potential impact on the royal family.

Queen Elizabeth on the other hand was said to have had high hopes of Meghan.

The Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain behind. They settled in sunny California because they wanted to live a life away from the spotlight and the media.

However, once they departed from Harry’s family, the two agreed on plenty of interviews, filmed a documentary, and Harry published a book, Spare, in which he revealed plenty of secrets about the members of the Firm.

Daily Express reported that Harry is scheduled to travel to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, including a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8. Meghan won’t be accompanying him. She is expected to stay in the US, citing concerns for her safety and a wish to refrain from sparking controversy.

Getting rid of head lice can pose a challenge for parents, yet prevention might prove to be more straightforward than anticipated. One successful approach involves incorporating tea tree oil into your daily regimen.

A mom named Kim Wright took to Facebook to share a valuable tip ahead of the start of the back-to-school season. According to her, one very useful way of preventing lice infestation is by simply adding a few drops of tea tree oil to your children’s shampoo or crafting a diluted tea tree oil spray for their hair.

Wright says that this purely natural solution not only combats lice effectively but also serves as a deterrent against mosquitoes.

Of course, despite parents’ best efforts, some children may still get lice. In such cases, there are various methods available to get rid of them successfully.

Lice can also affect adults, so using the tea tree oil spray for yourself as a preventive measure can help a great deal. While lice infestations can be bothersome, implementing these proactive measures can help keep your family lice-free.

What happened to Ashley Judd’s face?

By

Ashley Judd was born Ashley Tyler Ciminella on April 19, 1968, in Granada Hills, California and was raised in a family of accomplished performers. She’s the daughter of late country music star Naomi Judd and the sister of Wynonna Judd.

Although she’s best known for her prolific acting career, Judd is also someone heavily involved into global humanitarian initiatives and political activism.

Her career, which spans over two decades, started with the role of Ensign Robin Lefler in the 1991 TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. She has since been featured in a number of other movies and TV series, such as Kiss the Girls (1997), Trafficked (2017) and Berlin Station (2017-2019), among the rest.

However, as much as it has been written of her professional accomplishments, her fans and the media couldn’t help but notice the change in her appearance. Her “new” face raised the question of whether she had undergone plastic surgery to change her appearance, and it turns out she hadn’t.

In fact, Judd felt obligated to reveal medical details on at least two occasions as she couldn’t cope with the rumors and the stories about her that over-flooded the media.

Back in 2012, she wrote a strong opinion piece on The Daily Beast criticizing the media for fabricating stories about her appearance.

The same article was republished by the outlet in 2020 when interest in Ashley’s appearance spiked again.

I choose to address it because the conversation was pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic and embodies what all girls and women in our culture, to a greater or lesser degree, endure every day, in ways both outrageous and subtle. The assault on our body image, the hypersexualization of girls and women and subsequent degradation of our sexuality as we walk through the decades, and the general incessant objectification is what this conversation allegedly about my face is really about, the actress wrote.

She proceeds to address what was said about her following a recent television appearance where viewers noticed her “puffy” face, which she attributed to a month-long regimen of medication — “multiple rounds of steroids” — previously stated by her representatives to treat a sinus infection and flu.

In February, 2020, she opened up about receiving botox treatments to fight ‘siege migraines.’

And when it comes to taking care of her face, the She Said star revealed she uses rose tea. “It’s full of antioxidants, which are great for the skin.”

My husband turned our wedding night into a catastrophe

By

On the night of our wedding, Scott, my husband, was eager for intimacy, but I was exhausted and hoped to delay our physical connection for just a while longer. Scott, being the understanding partner he was, accepted my excuse with a kiss goodnight. Little did I know, our night was far from over.

In the hushed hours of midnight, I stirred from my slumber, feeling the bed tremble beneath me. Startled, I turned to find Scott on the bed, cradling a baby in his arms. I was in complete shock when he introduced the infant as Ella, his orphaned niece, and disclosed the sudden responsibility thrust upon him.

“Everly, this is Ella,” he gulped, and my world spun as he continued. “She is my orphaned niece. My stepsister, Maya, is gone now. I found out about her just a few weeks ago.”

That was the start of a night of revelations that would reshape our lives.

“Everly, I was scared you’d leave if you knew about her,” Scott confessed, not meeting my eyes.

“How could you do this, Scott? How can we start our life together with secrets and lies?” I asked, appalled. But I took a deep breath. “Scott, what’s the plan here? Are you… wait, are we going to adopt Ella?”

“I haven’t thought that far, Everly. Right now, I just need to take care of her,” he answered, avoiding further discussion on the matter.

The following morning, as sunlight flooded through the windows of Scott’s grand estate, the weight of the previous night’s secrets hung heavily in the air. Questions buzzed in my mind like persistent insects, demanding answers. Who was Ella’s mother? Why had Scott kept her existence hidden from me? And what did this mean for our newly minted marriage?

The baby’s mother, Maya, was his estranged step-sister that no one in the family had any contact with. So why did he help her?

Getty Images

As we settled into our new roles, caring for Ella amidst the opulent surroundings of Scott’s home, the facade of marital bliss began to crack. Doubts gnawed at the edges of my consciousness, fueled by the shadows of Scott’s past and the mystery surrounding Ella’s origins.

Days turned into weeks, and the rift between us deepened as I struggled to reconcile the man I thought I knew with the secrets he harbored. Scott’s attempts at reconciliation fell on deaf ears as I grappled with betrayal and uncertainty.

“Maybe we should consider putting Ella up for adoption,” I said tentatively.

“Adoption? Everly, that’s unthinkable. Ella is my responsibility,” Scott argued.

“Maybe find a loving foster family for her. Someone could be a better mother than me—”

“Is this your way of testing me? You think I married you just to have a mother for Ella?” he asked.

“Yes!”

“You’re being ridiculous!”

The following day, I sought solace at the beach with Ella, hoping the rhythmic crash of waves against the shore would calm the turmoil within me. As I gazed out at the endless expanse of ocean, lost in thought, a figure emerged from the mist, a mysterious woman I have never seen before.

Her demeanor was cold and aloof, her lip curled in disdain as her gaze flickered between me and the baby nestled in my arms. I braced myself for her scrutiny, her piercing eyes seeming to bore into my soul as she uttered a single question that sent a chill down my spine.

“Scott’s daughter?” she asked, her voice laced with contempt, as if the mere mention of his name left a bitter taste in her mouth. Her words hung in the air like a heavy fog, thick with unspoken implications and hidden meanings.

I hesitated, unsure of how to respond to this enigmatic stranger who seemed to know more about my husband than I did. Could she hold the key to unlocking the secrets that had plagued our marriage since that fateful night?

With a sense of unease settling over me like a shroud, I was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.

Once home, I confronted my husband and he finally admitted that Ella was his daughter. I took all of my belongings and left the mansion.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, a glimmer of hope emerged. Scott’s unwavering love for Ella softened the edges of my resentment, reminding me of the fragile bond that tethered us together. Despite the lies and deceit, I couldn’t deny the genuine affection he held for his daughter, so I forgave him and returned home.

But just as we began to find a semblance of peace, a cryptic message arrived, casting a shadow of doubt over our fragile truce.

“Maya’s not the only secret Scott’s buried,” the message read.

The revelation that Ella might not be the only secret Scott had buried sent shockwaves through our already tumultuous existence.

Once I gathered courage, I called the number written in the letter. “Meet me at Brown Beans Café,” the voice from the other side of the phone said. “Don’t tell Scott.”

 “I’m Scott’s ex-wife… and this is our baby, Renee,” the woman I met at the café revealed.

“Sco-Scott’s ex-wife??” I uttered, heartbroken.

“Everly, you need to understand the danger you’re in. Scott’s not who he seems. He’s just using you,” she insisted.

Shutterstock

I was shocked. “But why? How did you find out about all this?” I asked with a trembling voice.

“Maya figured it out somehow. She tried to expose him, and that’s when she had her accident,” she whispered. “You need to be careful. Don’t let him know what you’ve discovered. Just play along until we figure out an escape plan.”

In the days to come, I learned I was pregnant, but I only told Scott about that after I terminated the pregnancy. This decision was a result of Amanda’s words that echoed in my mind, “He wants you to have a male child for his cult.”

When Scott learned what I did he was angry beyond words. And just as he was grabbing a vase to hit me with, the police knocked at the door. Amanda arrived with them, and her presence felt like a sweet reassurance.

I smiled and looked beyond my home, the police car…into the camera.

“Cut! That was a perfect shot!” the director yelled, as I laughed as Scott, my real-life husband and co-star, who praised my excellent performance.

“You did an incredible job, Everly… I’m so proud of you!” he exclaimed, his eyes shining with pride.

This project for a short film was indeed born on the night of our wedding, when him holding his niece led to a sweet misunderstanding. It was then that his creativity sparked, leading to this script.

Our journey, a rollercoaster of emotions marked by moments of humor, drama, and love, served as a poignant reminder that even amidst the chaos, there is beauty to be found. Through the highs and lows, we discovered that every twist and turn in life’s narrative holds within it a story waiting to be told, a lesson waiting to be learned, and a smile waiting to be shared.

UCLA director claims Kate Middleton is ‘faking’ her cancer diagnosis in shocking outburst online

The announcement of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis shook the world. Prior to her public announcement, speculations and conspiracy theories had been circulating on social media for months, with some even speculating that the Princess of Wales was no longer alive. However, with the confirmation of her cancer diagnosis, these conspiracy theories began to fade. Currently, the princess is spending quality time with her family at Anmer Hall, and it remains uncertain when she will return to the public eye.

Despite the widespread acceptance of Kate’s diagnosis, there are still some who refuse to believe it. On social media, an expert affiliated with UCLA has made several sensational claims suggesting that he believes the Princess of Wales is faking her cancer.

Karwai Tang/WireImage

Following the news of her planned abdominal surgery that took place at the London Hospital in mid-January, the Palace issued a statement in which they wrote the Princess would be taking her time to recover and won’t return to her royal duties until Easter.

However, since she was nowhere to be seen, the public and the media started speculating about her health and her whereabouts.

In order to reassure them that nothing’s wrong, the Palace shared yet another statement that said the Princess of Wales was doing well.

Kate was “bullied” by the media into revealing further details about her surgery. Being a royal of her rank, she had all the right to keep her medical record a secret, but with the King sharing his cancer diagnosis publicly, everyone expected from Kate to do the same in order to help raise awareness. However, Kate stayed quiet for some time until she revealed doctors found the presence of cancer after running tests following her surgery.

Her statement in full began with the princess thanking the public for their support, saying, “I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

She continued, “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

“This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start myitreatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.”

“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.”

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”

She concluded her video message to the world, “At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”

Since the video was released, some argued it was made using AI, but that couldn’t be possible since it was filmed by BBC, who received hefty criticism over their coverage of Kate Middleton’s cancer announcement and the amount of focus they had spent on it.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – MAY 04: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Catherine, Princess of Wales arrives for visit to the Dog & Duck pub in Soho to hear how it’s preparing for the Coronation Weekend on May 4, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images)

On April 5, the broadcasting network released a statement on its website, saying its reporting “made clear that this is a difficult time for the princess and the rest of the royal family; we have been mindful at all times to approach our coverage with sensitivity.”

“We broadcast in full the highly personal video message from the Princess of Wales, in which she spoke directly to the public about her cancer diagnosis. Our coverage reflected the significance of this story and the outpouring of support for the princess from around the globe. We explained to our audience what was known about Catherine’s condition but did not speculate on details that had not been made public,” the BBC wrote.

“While we have a responsibility to report on stories that are of interest to our audience, we appreciate that not everyone would have approved of the approach we took,” the BBC concluded, adding that they reported on her request for privacy and medical privacy and always “give careful consideration to the editorial decisions” they make.

Among those who doubt the authenticity of Kate’s video is Johnathan Perkins, UCLA’s Director of Race and Equity.

On X, he constantly spread speculations regarding Kate’s health condition and asked questions such as whether the princess was still alive. Now, he claims that Kate doesn’t have cancer at all.

In a January post, he wrote,  “King Chuck and Kate do NOT deserve my respect.” Then, six days after she revealed her diagnosis, he wrote, “Really and truly wondering if Kate Middleton is still alive.”

Perkins further claimed that the royal family is “using the Cancer Card” to “cover for something else.” He called her a “known liar,” and on Easter Sunday, he made a cruel joke, asking, “Wait, isn’t Kate Middleton supposed to rise today?”

In a statement to the tabloid, a UCLA spokesperson said, “Statements on [Perkins’s] personal social media account don’t reflect the views of the university. [UCLA’s values] seek to foster open-mindedness, understanding, compassion, and inclusiveness among all in our diverse community.”

Perkins, who previously worked at Harvard University, has since deleted his tweets, but they were published by the Daily Mail as print screens.

As expected, Perkins received harsh criticism by the public and number of royal experts, among which podcast host of To Di For Daily, Kinsey Schofield, who lashed out at Perkins, telling him to “get a life.”

“It’s so sick, I refuse to even say his name,” Schofield said while speaking to Sky News Australia.

“If you look at the amount of tweets this nearly 40-year-old man has sent about the Princess of Wales, I don’t know how you can think that there’s nothing but mental instability there. I mean it’s wild.”

Prince Harry ‘regrets’ writing about Kate Middleton in ‘Spare’ – he is in a ‘painful place,’ expert claims

By

Over the course of the last four years, or since Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain behind, a lot has been said about the British royal family.

Both Harry and Meghan criticized the members of the Firm and shared plenty of stories of what has been going on behind closed doors. As expected, the public was eager to learn more about the family and the Sussexes gained plenty of attention.

Among the rest, they gave Oprah an interview in which Meghan revealed that a senior royal, whom she didn’t want to expose publicly, questioned the color of their then-unborn son Archie, thus accused Harry’s family of racism.

“In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time. So we have in tandem the conversation of ‘he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” Meghan Markle recalled.

She also said that when she came forward with the mental issues she had experienced at the time, the Palace turned a blind eye. According to her, her situation was severe and went so far that she became suicidal.

“I just didn’t see a solution. I would sit up at night, and I was just, like, I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out. And, again, I wasn’t seeing it, but it’s almost worse when you feel it through the expression of my mom or my friends, or them calling me crying, just, like, ‘Meg, they’re not protecting you’. And I realized that it was all happening just because I was breathing,” she explained.

At the time, the Palace released a statement.

“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan,” the statement, released by Buckingham Palace on behalf of Queen Elizabeth, read.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved family members,” the statement continued.

While the Palace deemed it necessary to issue a statement addressing potential racism, one royal expert asserted that Kate Middleton played a pivotal role in including the phrase “some recollections may vary” in the statement.

Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images

In her book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, Valentine Low quotes a source, claiming that the first version of the statement had “a much milder version” of the “recollections” sentence.

“The debate was, do you rise entirely above it and offer the olive branch of [Harry and Meghan being] ‘much-loved members of the family’? Or is there some moment when you have to intervene and offer a view?” the source told Low, adding that Kate and Prince William wanted it “toughened up.”

“They were both of one mind that we needed something that said that the institution did not accept a lot of what had been said,” the source explained.

Since leaving Britain and settling in sunny California, Prince Harry only met Kate Middleton a handful of times, including the funerals on Prince Philip and later of Queen Elizabeth II.

When Kate, William, Harry, and Meghan appeared together at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, the idea was to spread a message that things were getting better between them, but according to some experts, it was far from the truth and was just an “illusion.”

What’s most, speaking to a senior royal, Kate was reported to have described the joint walk as “one of the hardest things she’d ever had to do.”

Of course, Kate wasn’t spared from ill comments by Harry and Meghan.

In his bestseller Spare, Harry described the feud between Kate and his wife Meghan and wrote that Kate made Meghan cry over the flower girl dresses on her wedding day. 

“It really hurt my feelings. It was a really hard week of the wedding. And she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized. And she brought me flowers and a note, apologizing,” Meghan said.

“I think so much of what I have seen play out [in the media] is this idea of polarity, where if you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don’t need to hate me,” she added.

Harry revealed the messages exchanged between Kate and Meghan and their disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

According to Harry, Kate wasn’t happy with Princess Charlotte’s dress, who was a flower-girl.

However, although Kate claimed her daughter was in distress because of the dress, which allegedly was “too big, too long, too baggy,” she refused to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace to have it fixed.

“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,” Harry said. “Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”

“I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” Meghan texted Kate, according to Harry.

Kate replied with, “Fine.”

Harry further wrote that when he arrived home, he found his then future wife sobbing on the floor. “It was intolerable but temporary. Kate hadn’t meant any harm, I told her.”

In their book Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claimed that “Meghan would agree with the assessment that the duchesses were not the best of friends,” and that “their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”

Harry also alleged that Kate once “grimaced” after Meghan asked her to use her lip gloss. According to Harry, when Meghan applied some lip gloss to her fingers before using it on her lips, Kate, the then-Duchess of Cambridge, visibly shuddered.

Following Kate’s planned abdominal surgery which took place in mid-January and her revelation of having cancer, Harry and Meghan reached to her and sent their well wishes.

“King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health,” a source told Mirror. “The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concerns and best wishes.”

While promoting her book Elizabeth & Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarch, royal expert Tessa Dunlop claimed Harry now finds himself in a “painful place.”

“When you do discover that your sister-in-law has cancer and you’ve written stuff that can’t be retracted, that’s quite a painful place to be in,” Dunlop said speaking to US Weekly.

The expert added, “They deliberately criticize the monarchy [and then offer] themselves as an alternative to monarchy. So then when the monarchy is in trouble, we do kind of make a comparison. Can Harry and Meghan really hold themselves off as the caring example now? They’re certainly going to have to be careful of their timing with any releases so that it doesn’t look opportunistic.”

Camilla sad news

Even before he took the new role, that of a king, Charles announced he would be making changes within the Royal Family. In the past, sources claimed that then-Prince Charles spoke of slimming down the monarchy.

“Charles has never made any secret of the fact that he wants a slimmed-down Monarchy when he becomes King. He realizes that the public don’t want to pay for a huge Monarchy and, as he said, the balcony at Buckingham Palace would probably collapse,” he was reported to have said.

“Prince Charles has wanted for a very long time to cut the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer,” royal expert Angela Levin told TalkRADIO in the past, as per Express.

Truth to be told, with Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties and prince Andrew getting estranged from the family, the number of working royals has indeed reduced significantly. Sadly, during the recent months, that number lowered even further after Kate Middleton underwent what was described as a “planned” abdominal surgery and King Charles was diagnosed with cancer, forcing both of them to take some time off.

While both royals either cleared their schedules or postponed certain royal engagements, their significant others, as well as other members of the royal family stepped in for them.

Queen Camilla had a tough few weeks where she had to take on a lot of responsibility for the royal family. Among the rest, she led the royal family at the memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece.

Dame Julia Cleverdon, a close confidante, highlights Camilla’s pivotal role, stating, “The real heroine… is Queen Camilla.” However, Cleverdon is also concerned of the Queen’s well-being because she has taken plenty upon herself during the last period.

Cleverdon has also been reported to have spoken of King Charles saying he’s determined to recover swiftly.

Lord Dobbs praised the King for his transparency, highlighting the significance of early diagnosis in overcoming such hurdles. He applauds the King’s courage and encourages others to confront similar challenges openly, believing that doing so can lead to better outcomes.

We truly hope that both King Charles and the Princess of Wales would beat cancer and return to their royal duties.
