Queen Elizabeth’s mysterious handwritten letter is hidden in a vault – and can only be opened in 2085

During her long reign of 70 years, late Queen Elizabeth developed special relationship with Australia and its people.

She first visited the continent two years after her coronation. Reports are that she had been there fifteen more times during her ruling and was looking forward to each of those visits.

As a constitutional monarch, the Queen was not involved in the day-to-day activities of the Australian Government but played important ceremonial and symbolic roles, one now passed to her heir, King Charles the Third.

Back in 1999, Australians voted on a referendum of whether or not they wanted the Queen to be retained their head of state. It ended with 55% voting in favor of keeping the monarchy, mainly because many were concerned about what the model of a future republic would look like.

In the past, Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia who served between 2015 to 2018, referred to the people of Australia as “Elizabethans.” In a room full of people gathered in the Great Hall of Sydney University in 2016, he said: “The vast majority of Australians have known no other head of state than the Queen.

“She is so admired and respected that few of us can say — whether monarchists or republicans — that we are not Elizabethans.”

Before the referendum took place, many significant people, among which politicians, visited Britain and had meetings with the Queen.

One of those people was Patrick Lionel Djargun Dobson, an elder of the Yawuru people. He, alongside an Aboriginal delegation, met Her Majesty in 1999.

In the ABC documentary The Queen and Us, Dobson recalled how the Queen treated the Indigenous leaders with dignity and respect “for the first time in our lives.” While he spoke of the meeting with her, Dobson got overwhelmed with emotions.

“It’s a funny thing, to feel a bit emotional about it because she was so welcoming,” he was reported to have said. “And she thanked us for coming. I think for the first time in our lives, we were treated properly. She treated us as human beings.”

In November 1986, 36 years ago, late Queen Elizabeth II penned a letter to the people of Sydney. Today, the letter lies in a vault in one of Australia’s historic buildings, the Queen Victoria Building, and wouldn’t be opened in the next 63 years.

The letter is addressed to the “Right and Honourable Lord Mayor of Sydney, Australia” and signed by the Queen. Ever since it was written, it has sat inside a glass case inside a restricted area in its dome.

“Greetings. On a suitable day to be selected by you in the year 2085 A.D. would you please open this envelope and convey to the citizens of SYDNEY my message to them,” the Queen’s instruction read.

Meghan Markle’s act following the passing of Queen Elizabeth confirms what we all believed about her

No matter how hard and painful the loss of Queen Elizabeth II is for the Britons and people from all over the world, we all hope that the tragedy will help the royal family smooth things down between them.

William and Harry could be seen walking side by side behind their grandmother’s coffin, a sad and devastating sight which made many recall the same scene after the passing of their mother, Princess Diana.

Things between the brothers were rough during the past couple of years. It all started with Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties and settling down in America, thus leaving Britain behind.

Once he left his homeland, Harry spoke openly of the life as a royal and told Oprah that he used to be trapped inside the system, the same way his brother and father still are. Allegations against the royals were brought up, among which those of racism.

Following the passing of Prince Philip last year, many were convinced that the brothers, who were united in grief, would rebuild their relationship, but things didn’t turn out that way. This time, however, experts believe that William and Harry will finally put their differences aside.

Body language experts, among which psychologist Judi James, claim that the relationship between the Sussexes and the newly appointed Prince and Princess of Wales has already started improving as they were all seen standing right next to each other. William was said to be spotted extending his arm towards Meghan, asking her to approach closer during the greeting of the crowd gathered to pay respect to late Queen Elizabeth. Meghan seemed to have accepted the ‘invitation,’ which might imply she’s no longer willing to get into conflicts with her husband’s family.

Neither William nor Harry have spoken of their relationship, but as a new era for the country has just started and their father became the King of Britain, everyone hopes they would be there for him. Rumors are that Harry might even consider returning to his homeland for good.

Medic shares sad clue about Queen’s cause of death – but her true condition may never be revealed

To say that Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in the British history, will be just missed by her people is an understatement. This incredible monarch not only witnessed history taking place during the 70 years she spent on the head of the British throne, but she was part of it and helped shape it a great deal.

Queen Elizabeth passed away on September 8 and her funeral is expected to take place on September 19.

An incredible number of people spent hours, some even more than 12 or 13, to see her coffin and say that one last goodbye and thank you for everything she had done for the country.

Although her passing was tragic, it wasn’t entirely unexpected given her age and her fragile health during the last months of her life. The media reported the Queen was advised by doctors to rest. She even cancelled and delayed some important meetings due to her health condition this year.

The Queen’s last official duty as the head of the country was a meeting with newly appointed Prime Minister of Great Britain, Liz Truss, whom she welcomed to Balmoral.

The photographer who snapped the last photo of Queen Elizabeth, Jane Barlow, said the Queen did look fragile, but she was in a good mood, as well professional and friendly until the very end.

“I got a lot of smiles from her,” Barlow told Sky News.

When the photo session was finished, Barlow left the room. Then she got another smile from the Queen.

“I was there to photograph her meeting the new Prime Minister but for me the best picture was the one of the Queen on her own. And it has obviously become more significant now.”

On the day of her passing, the media and the wide public closely followed the news of the Queen’s health condition as people started gathering around Balmoral castle. The rumors of her deteriorated health were confirmed when members of the royal family were spotted arriving in Scotland to be by the Queen’s side.

Unfortunately, shortly after, Buckingham Palace released a statement announcing Her Majesty’s death.

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

The new ruler of the country, King Charles III, spoke emotionally of his dear mother.

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” he said in a statement.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”

King Charles added: “During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”

The cause of death hasn’t yet been revealed and the truth is that it may never be.

The public, however, started making guesses and noticed that on the last photo taken of her, Queen Elizabeth’s hands happened to be bruised.

Experts claim that the Queen met the medical criteria for “geriatric syndrome”, a condition used to describe the features of common health conditions in older people that don’t fit into specific categories.

Based on the British healthcare system’s measuring criteria to gauge a person’s frailty using a test known as Prisma 7 because it includes seven criteria, Her Majesty met five, including being over 85, needed a walking stick, requiring regular help, and being forced to cancel activities.

Doctor Ginni Mansberg believes that Prince Philip’s passing last year also took its toll on the Queen’s overall condition.

“She lost her husband of so many years, and statistically, the number of partners who die within twelve months of losing a partner … that is a very high risk time,” Doctor Mansberg told Weekend Sunrise.

“Grief puts additional strain on the body, and it’s really hard to lose somebody to who you’ve been married for that long, on top of everything else, on top of being in your mid-90s.”

Other experts, among which Dr. Deb Cohen-Jones, suspect Queen Elizabeth suffered from peripheral vascular disease, a blood circulation disorder that causes the blood vessels outside of your heart and brain to narrow, block, or spasm.

“It can sometimes result in heart failure. If your peripheral circulation is that poor, organs aren’t receiving a good blood supply. It can be a sign of multi-organ failure,” Dr. Cohen-Jones said.

No matter the exact cause, one thing is certain, Queen Elizabeth was one of the most loved and most respected monarchs. She will be dearly missed.

This world-famous pop star weight gain had fans concerned

Lana Del Rey, born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant on June 21, 1985, has made an astounding career in the world of music. Her songs bring a sense of melancholy, and the lyrics to her sons, along with the music, are so profound that she became a sensation for all the right reasons.

As the videos for her songs Blue Jeans and Video Games took the world by storm, Lana Del Rey gained so much attention that she became a star almost overnight.

It didn’t take long before she conquered the music industry and received a number of awards and nominations, including the International Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards in 2012, just at the start of her career.

Recently, however, the Born to Die singer is again at the center of attention, but it isn’t about her music.

Lana Del Rey’s appearance has changed drastically since the start of the coronavirus pandemic and her fans were left worried for her health. The singer gained significant amount of weight and doesn’t even resemble her old self, which led to people start fat-shaming her.

In September 2022, after the singer attended the Malibu Chili Cook-Off, photos of her emerged online and they caused a stir on Twitter. This wasn’t the first time Del Rey to be heavily criticized about her looks. In fat, the fat-shaming she has gone through started back in 2020 after she and her sister were spotted shopping decorations for 4th of July.

And as the number of those criticizing her for her look has been huge, many of her fans took her side and started using the hashtag #WeLoveYouLana in her defence. Needless to say, people got so obsessed with her that the hashtag started trending.

The lyrics of her unreleased song Boarding School, which is oriented on the American boarding school culture, reads, ‘I’m a fan of the pro-ana nation. I use the pills to prevent the f-food cravings.’ Fans are convinced this indicates that Lana had an eating disorder, anorexia, and drug addiction.

A recent photo of her shows her wearing cropped denim shorts, a cap, black mask, and white sneakers.

“Ew, I had no idea Lana del Rey is fat. Thought she was prettier too, I am disappointed,” one person wrote.

Another person, however, wrote, “Lana Del Rey is a queen idc if she gained weight, she’s still perfect.”

Back in 2021, Land del Rey deactivated her social media accounts in order to pursue other interests.

10-year-old Indiana boy dies moments after telling his mom how much he loved her

Treven Ball was a 10-year-old boy full of life. He loved playing football, and everyone knew he was destined to achieve great things in the sport. Unfortunately, Treven was robbed of his life in a manner that left his family and everyone who had ever met him in a state of shock.

This young man never experienced any health issues. Instead, he was vibrant and active, and enjoyed being on the field more than anything else.

Treven was part of the Springs Valley Schools youth team in French Lick, Indiana. 

It was during the second week of September 2022 that Treven played his first match under the lights. He let his talent shine and loved the cheering. His parents, Holly and Terrin, and his two younger siblings, Talon and Taylyn, were there to celebrate his achievement with him.

Life seemed perfect, but then, on September 13, Treven suddenly fell ill and passed away.

The last words he uttered using his last breath were how much he loved his mother.

The devastated parents couldn’t believe their son was gone. Grief settled in their hearts, and they couldn’t possibly imagine how it was possible for someone that young to die in such a sudden manner.

A friend of the family, Jessica Alexander, said, “It was just four days ago he was running up and down the bleachers.”

Treven’s aunt, Meghan Murphy, said of her nephew, “He just made you want to be a better person because of the way he lived,” adding that he always made everyone smile.

The school he attended organized a prayer gathering at the SVHS football field. The number of people who attended the event in Treven’s honor was overwhelming.

“We knew what kind of kid he was. But to just come out here and see all the lives that he has affected. That truly meant something to us,” Murphy said.

A GoFundMe was set in order to help the family with the finances as Treven’s mom and dad took some time off work while they mourn the loss of their beautiful son.

A huge number of people took their time to share their condolences.

“We have added their family to our church’s prayer list. They send it out to 2 more churches here in St. Louis. Hopefully, we can have prayers flooding in from across the nation.”

― (@Tiffany Epiphany) September 14, 2022

“Treven was the absolute first person to see me anywhere and gave me the sweetest hugs! He would knock on the door at the end of the day or come to visit in the morning before school.”

― (@Tara Allstott) September 13, 2022

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Treven’s family. may he rest in peace.

Grandpa has found a new way to scare off all of the telemarketers

No matter if you are young or old, I am sure you are a fan of the iconic Disney characters, among which Donald Duck. And yes, the first things that comes to your mind when listening to this name is probably the blue sailor shirt with a red bow tie and cap, as well as his distinctive voice which is hard to imitate.

Well, a man that goes by the name Donald Sizemore is probably the best imitators of this famous duck’s voice and we can see that from the video below, which we all have to agree is beyond hilarious.

Source: YouTube – Inside Edition

The phone is ringing and Mr. Sizemore picks it up. It is a telemarketer on the other side of the line so he decides to do Donald Duck’s voice. Confused, the telemarketer asks whether he’s the real Donald Duck, and the conversation goes on for a while before the other side realizes something weird is going on and hangs up the phone. I don’t know about you, but I would have never hanged up on one of my favorite Disney characters ever.

Some say the telemarketer only got what they deserve for disturbing people over the phone, but I guess they are only doing their job.

Anyways, if you want to listen to Mr. Sizemore speaking exactly like Donald Duck, then check out the video below.

Woman receives life-changing news that she will never forget

Most people believe that millionaires are ruthless individuals whose life is driven by the thought of making more and more money. Luckily, that’s not always the case. Take Marcus Lemonis for example, a Lebanese-born American businessman, television personality and philanthropist. He’s the CEO of a couple of companies and the star of The Profit, a CNBC reality show about saving small businesses.

The thing is that this man has made his millions all by himself, with hard work and a great sense for business. He’s managed to reach heights by observing and implementing the most workable ideas in business, such as the fact that it is the employees who give a company soul and everything it needs in order to establish itself on the market as the leader in certain field. 

Marcus is known for being there for his employees, as well as other people who are in need of help. One such person is Tami Forbes, a mother of twins aged 8, and a third child on the way. 

In order to be able to provide for her kids, Tami, who is the store manager, was forced to work a second job, as a bartender. 

Hearing this, Marcus knew he needed to step in, so he called Tami, who wasn’t certain what future held for her as she believed she could be fired because of the maternity leave she was planning to use. 

But that wasn’t the case. Instead, Marcus told her to be at ease because her position would be waiting for her once she returns at the company. In addition to that, he told her she no longer needed to work extra jobs because he would be paying her $1,000 a week. Marcus promised that he would provide Tami with extra financial assistance for the first six months of her maternity leave.

What an incredible man. 

Needless to say, Tami couldn’t contain her tears of joy.

Harry offers olive branch to dad King Charles after Prince William’s invite to family reunion

The sight of Harry and William walking side by side behind the coffin of someone who meant so much to them, their loving grandmother and Queen of England, Queen Eliabeth II, reminded the world of the heartbreak the brothers were forced to endure after the loss of their mother, Princess Diana.

Now, after the passing of their grandmother, the brothers have been reunited once again and Britons, as well people from every corner of the Earth, hope this time it would be forever.

The relationship between Harry and the rest of the family sort of broke down after he and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and left Britan for America. They settled down in California as they decided to build a new life away from The Firm.

Things got even more heated between the brothers after the infamous all-tell interview Harry and Meghan gave Oprah Winfrey. Among the rest, they spoke of Meghan’s mental struggles and how she was denied help because that would affect the family’s reputation, and they sort of accused the royals of racism after sharing that a senior royal questioned the skin color of then unborn Archie.

The Queen herself responded to those allegations writing in a statement that “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 shared by the Palace on the Queen’s behalf further 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.”

Youtube/CBS

After the passing of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, everyone was eager to witness the relationship between Harry and his family being repaired, but sadly, that didn’t happen.

In the past, following the accusations and Harry’s interview in a podcast in which he spoke of the impact media and the paparazzi had on his mother’s dead, King Charles accused his son for ‘dragging the family name through the mud.’

Despite all that, people were somehow convinced that Harry would return to Britain, probably for good, after his grandmother’s passing and be there for his brother and father as a new era for the royal family has just started.

Reports are that he offered olive branch to his father, the new King of the country. Over the past few years, Harry and his father were reported to not have talked much, with some insinuating that they haven’t spoken at all.

In a statement on the Archewell Foundation website, established by Harry and Meghan, Harry pledged to honor his father.

The statement read, “And as it comes to first meetings, we now honor my father in his new role as King Charles III.”

Harry and Meghan are currently in Britain, and they are expected to stay at least until September 19, the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral when she will be laid to rest besides her mother and father.

Apparently, Harry wasn’t invited to dinner with William and Charles on the night his grandmother died. A source close to the family claimed that two dinners were held on the royal estate. One was for King Charles and Prince William, while the other was for the rest of the family, including Harry.

But now, it was reported that William and Kate extended an invitation to Harry and Meghan to greet well-wishers and take in floral tributes laid outside Buckingham Palace in the Queen’s memory.

William is believed to have wanted to negate any tension and show a united front alongside his younger brother.

We truly hope the brothers would be able to mend things down and Harry returned to Britain to be by his father’s side and support his rule.

Ryan Reynolds’ doctor discovered something ‘life-saving’ after actor filmed himself getting colonoscopy

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, two incredible actors and human beings who have recently become co-chairmen of Welsh football team Wrexham FC, teamed up once again for a good cause and reminded us yet again why we all love them so much.

Following a bet that McElhenney won’t learn the Welsh after the two took over the club, which Reynolds happened to lose, the actors underwent through and recorded their colonoscopy examinations.

Known for their humorous nature, many believed the videos of their medical check-ups were simply farcical, but the truth is that Reynolds and McElhenney did it for a greater cause, to raise awareness about colon cancer, the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.

Credit: Ryan Reynolds/ YouTube

The new guidelines lower the age of colon screening from 50 to 45.

“Rob and I, we turned 45 this year,” Reynolds says in the video. “And, you know, part of being this age is getting a colonoscopy. It’s a simple step that could literally, and I mean literally, save your life.”

Next, the video shows the Deadpool star arriving at the hospital.

“I would never normally have any medical procedure put on camera and then shared,” he says. “It’s not every day that you can raise awareness about something that will most definitely save lives. That’s enough motivation for me to let you in on a camera being shoved up my a**.”

Credit: Ryan Reynolds/ YouTube

Once the procedure, which lasts around 30 to 45 minutes, was done, the doctor approached Reynolds with his results and told him that an “extremely subtle polyp” was found and removed from his colon.

“This was potentially life-saving for you, I’m not kidding, I’m not being overly dramatic,” the doctor could be heard saying.

“This is exactly why you do this. You had no symptoms.”

Credit: Ryan Reynolds/ YouTube

The video then shows McElhenney, who says jokingly, “They either find nothing, and that means my colon is cleaner than his, or they find a polyp and it’s either bigger than his… or it’s smaller than his which means I have less of an opportunity to have cancer,” he says. “Either way I win.”

Doctors found three polyps which were removed.

The video shows the importance of regular check-ups. We thank these two brilliant actors for the initiative and for raising awareness of colon cancer.

Man brought his dad to a care facility – His 5-year-old son greeted him at the door and asked him a question that left him speechless

The best way to raise your children into good people who would know to distinguish right from wrong is by constantly displaying virtuous activity yourself while they grow up. The truth is that no matter what you teach kids using words, they would always do what they see you doing.

The way you treat your parents when they get older is likely how you will be treated by your children when you get old.

One man decided he could no longer take care of his elderly father, so he decided to place him at a nursing facility against his will. The man wasn’t happy he was leaving the house, especially because he was still able to do most of the everyday things by himself. He rarely needed assistance and wasn’t asking for much, but still, his son believed he belonged to a facility.

When he left his father at the nursing home, the man returned to his house and saw his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

The little one was eager to ask a question, so the moment he spotted his dad entering the place, he uttered, “Did you write down the address where you took my grandfather?”

The man answered, “Why, do you want to visit him?”

The boy then replied, “I need to know where to take you when you get old too.”

The man couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He realized that with his act, he set an example for his child and knew he could be treated the same in the future.

Children always learn by setting examples, that is why we should provide them with the best ones there are and teach them that the elderly are very important part of our life, and that we should treat them as such.

Mom could hardly wait to give birth – When the TWINS were born, she was informed that one of them was dying!

We witness miracles taking place every now and then and we can’t help but wonder if it is our faith in God that leads to them, or they simply happen for no apparent reason.

A mother of twins was over the moon when her bundles of joy were welcomed into the world. Her entire life was about to change as she now had two precious jewels to raise and take care of.

Sadly, shortly after the delivery, doctors informed her that one of her babies didn’t develop as expected and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus among the rest, a condition characterized by excess fluid build-up in fluid-containing cavities of the brain, which results in developmental, physical, and intellectual impairments, and sometimes leads to death.

The prognosis was dull, despite doctors’ assurance that they would do all in their power to help save the baby.

Eventually, this mom was told to gather strength and say that one final goodbye to her child. She knew she didn’t have much time but as much as she wanted to be by the baby’s side, she believed it was more important for the little ones to spend some time together, so she asked from the doctors to place her babies in the same incubator.

It didn’t take long before the second baby started getting better. Could it be the bond with the sibling that helped him recover? This was something doctors didn’t have an answer to. What they knew was that the baby’s condition improved rapidly, and he was released from the hospital after over a week.

As per reports, this miracle took place some three years ago, and although the baby, who’s now a toddler, experiences certain health issues, he’s leading quite a normal and a fulfilled life.

Woman was caught stealing from a store and two police officers were sent to the scene

Being a single parent can be truly challenging. Raising a child on your own takes double the time and double the effort, but at the end of the day, seeing the child happy is worth all the struggle.

A single mother of three adoptive children found herself in an extremely poor financial situation. She couldn’t afford to feed her kids and she was desperate to find a way out, so she made a bad call and stole some food from the supermarket, but she got caught.

The employee spotted the woman and called the police. The officers who arrived at the scene, Keith Bradshaw and Candace Spragins, could see the woman was in distress. The amount of money she was supposed to pay was $36.

As she was caught red-handed in the act, the officers were supposed to arrest her. She on the other hand begged not to be taken to the station as she had her kids waiting for her at home. She made an apology and explained the severity of the situation she found herself in. Further, she said that she experienced head trauma recently and that prevented her from finding a job.

Officers Bradshaw and Spragins went to the woman’s house, and they were stunned to discover that she was speaking the truth.

Three children were waiting for their mom to bring them some food while the fridge starred empty, with just a single piece of cheese inside.

This broke the officers’ hearts. They knew they needed to step in, so they returned to the supermarket and bought everything this mom needed.

The woman was over the moon as she couldn’t believe there were still good people like these officers out there. She said the cart full of food would last her for several weeks.

It turns out it is true when they say that it takes a village to raise a child, don’t you agree?

Queen Elizabeth’s ring had an engraved message from Prince Philip inside – and now it might be revealed

Every love story is beautiful in its own way, but some are so special that they serve as a reminder that love is the strongest force on Earth and beyond.

The love story between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburg, lasted for over 70 years. Those were years filled with mutual respect and unity stronger than most marriages, royal on not, have ever witnessed.

According to royal writers, it only took a single glance at one another for young Elizabeth and Philip to fall in love with one another. She was 14 years old when she first met him during a cousin’s wedding of his. In the years that followed the serendipitous meeting, Elizabeth and Phillip were pen-friends who wrote to one another regularly.

When he asked for her hand in marriage, Prince Philip gave away his royal title, Prince of Greece and Denmark, and converted to the Church of England but it was all worth it.

The Queen described him as her “strength and stay” and was left heartbroken after he passed away on April 9, 2021.

Remembered as the man of his people, Prince Philip dedicated his entire life supporting the love of his life and wife of 73 years.

When the two tied the knot, he even gave up his surname, Mountbatten, and took Windsor instead.

“I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children,” Philip once said.

But then, after the Queen’s grandmother passing in 1960, the royal family adopted the name Mountbatten-Windsor, which was given to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s male descendants who hadn’t receive a royal title. Today, Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet, bear the Mountbatten-Windsor name.

Describing his role in the royal family, Prince Philip once shared with BBC, “The problem was to recognize what the niche was and to try and grow into it and that was by trial and error… There was no precedent. If I asked somebody, ‘What do you expect me to do?’ they all looked blank. They had no idea, nobody had much idea.”

When they celebrated 50 years of marriage, the Queen spoke dearly of her husband in an emotional speech.

“All too often, I fear, Prince Philip has had to listen to me speaking. Frequently we have discussed my intended speech beforehand and, as you will imagine, his views have been expressed in a forthright manner,” the late Queen Elizabeth said. “He is someone who doesn’t take easily to compliments but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know.”

Late Queen Elizabeth wore a Welsh gold wedding ring after her royal wedding in 1947, as is tradition. What not many knew, however, was that Prince Philip engraved a message inside the ring and no one except for the two of them and the jeweller knew what it says. “She never takes it off and inside the ring is an inscription. No one knows what it says, other than the engraver, the Queen, and her husband,” Ingrid Seward, author of Prince Philip: Revealed, revealed to Hello Magazine.

However, now that the Queen passed away, it wouldn’t come as a surprise for the message to be revealed.

The ring, which is made from pure Welsh gold from the Clogau St. David’s gold mine, features a fantastic stone, estimated at three carats. It is flanked by smaller pavé diamonds and is estimated to be worth more than $175,000.

This long-lasting royal marriage ended with Prince Philip’s passing, and now the Queen is gone too, but their love story will always serve as a reminder that true love conquers all.

Former ‘NCIS’ star Pauley Perrette shares emotional message and health update after suffering a “massive” stroke

Best known for her role of Abby Sciuto, a quirky forensic scientist, actress Pauley Perrette gave so much to one of our most favorite crime shows ever created, NCIS.

The reason for her departure with the series came after a series of distasteful incidents, one of which involving her co-star, Mark Harmon. It was reported that the relationship between the two turned ‘rather icy’ after Harmon’s dog, whom he brought on the set very often, attacked a member of the crew. Perrette didn’t like the way Harmon reacted to the attack and believed it was inconsiderate from him to bring the dog to the filming again and again despite the incident.

Speaking of it, Harmon claimed that his Pit Bull was always leashed, but other sources claim otherwise.

When she decided she wanted to say goodbye to the show she was one of the central characters of, Perrette took to social media to send a message to her fans. “I hope everyone will love and enjoy EVERYTHING ABBY not only for the rest of this season but for everything she has given all of us for 16 years,” Perrette wrote. “All the love, all the laughter, all the inspiration… I love her as much as you do.”

The actress, who is now 53, opened up about her health and shared that she ‘cheated death’ a year ago. Through social media, the actress revealed that she suffered a “massive” stroke and gave her fans a new health update.

“It’s 9/2. One year ago I had a massive stoke [sic],” Perrette wrote. “Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends …Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I’ve been given so far.

“How many times do I cheat death?” Perrette asked in a video she included in the post, sharing her heartbreak of losing her father and her cousin prior to the stoke she suffered.

“I’ve been through a lot in the last two years — things that are harder than having a stroke,” she said. “But I’m still here and I’m so grateful. And thank you, those of you who are my friends. Thank you. God bless you all. I’m still here.”

Speaking to Entertainment Now, Perrette went into details about the moment she had the stroke.

“I woke up and had no feeling on the entire right side of my body,” Perrette said. “At first I thought I had just slept funny. When I kept realizing the extent of the numbness; couldn’t feel my finger touching my face, couldn’t feel my face being touched by my finger, couldn’t feel my laptop sitting on my lap, no feeling at all on the right hand side — I could have burned myself or cut my finger off and wouldn’t have known — I called my doctor and he said, ‘GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.’”

She was then sent to the emergency room.

“Walked into the ER and said, ‘Hey, I can’t feel the right hand side of my body and…’ BAM! OMG! I was on a gurney with a million things stuck in my arms and a bunch of medical people rushing me somewhere,” the actress recalled. “They know how serious a stroke is and how immediate care is imperative.”

This month it’s been a year since the health issue Perrette experienced and she says she’d doing great and that she recovered completely.

“I am doing great and am super healthy now,” Perrette told People as she tried to raise awareness. “I want to thank everyone for their concern and take this opportunity to really plead for everyone to educate themselves on the signs of a stroke and the importance of getting medical help immediately.”

“Also that you can have a stroke AT ANY AGE, which I did not know. Teenagers can have a stroke,” she added.

When it comes to her personal life, what we know about Perrette is that she was married once, but the union ended in divorce. She even asked for a restraining order after separating ways with ex Coyote Shivers.

As per her own claims, Perrette isn’t dating anyone at the moment.

“Tried it. Not for me. Not at all,” the actress stated. “Probably the best decision I ever made in my life was the time that it took me to go like, ‘Wait a minute. This is silly. I don’t have to have a boyfriend, or a husband, or a girlfriend, or anything, you know?’”

Perrette added: “I don’t need any of that. Like, I do whatever I want. I do whatever I want. And I think that is rad!”

We are so happy Pauley Perrette overcame her health issue and we look forward to seeing her in a new project in the future.

Harry still regrets his final conversation with Diana – he grew desperate to numb the pain of her passing

Queen Elizabeth’s passing brought grief all over the world, but it also brought inevitable change within the Royal family.

For 70 years, the Queen served her nation the best she could, and her people would always remember her as the pillar who provided them with strong sense of security. She had been ever cautious, wise, disciplined and discerning in Her Rule, and the new monarch, King Charles III certainly has big shoes to fill when it comes to leading the country.

The Queen’s funeral is expected to take place on September 19. She would be laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor Castle. The body of her late husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is expected to be relocated and the pair reunited to lie together.

As the news of the Queen’s passing affected millions of people, not only from Britan but the entire world, her beloved grandson, Prince Harry, expressed his sorrow for his grandmother’s loss.

Harry, who left Britan and settled in California together with wife Meghan Markle, has always been a much-loved figure by people from all over the world. He grew up under the watchful eye of the wide public. However, what Britons felt for their Prince was affected by his decision to step down from his royal duties and turn his back to The Firm.

What is most, he spoke of his brother and father as of people trapped inside the system; the same system he was part of his entire life.

During the infamous all-tell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Sussexes accused Harry’s family of racism after a member of the royalty questioned the skin color of then unborn Archie.

This caused the relationship between Harry and his family to deteriorate, but now that his grandmother died, his father became the King, and a new era for the family started, rumors are he might end up back in the royal fold.

Most of Harry’s upbringing was in a way closely connected to the loss of his mother. Just like William, Harry still has a void in his heart that his mother’s dead brought.

He was aware of how negatively the media affected Lady Di’s life and the pressure she constantly felt, and that was one of the reasons why he left Britan, because he didn’t want his wife to go through the same suffering.

Even today, years after her passing, Harry still has regrets, one of them being the last conversation he had with her, which was very short.

Prior to the car crash in which she lost her life, Diana called her sons, who were spending time in the Scottish Highlands with their cousins. When she talked to Harry, he was eager to end up the phone call as soon as possible because he wanted to continue playing outside. He, however, wasn’t aware that would be the last time he spoke to his loving mother.

“I can’t really necessarily remember what I said but all I do remember is probably regretting for the rest of my life, how short that call was,” he said.

“If I’d known that that was the last time I was going to speak to my mother the things that I would – the things I would have said to her.”

Harry never truly got over the pain of losing his mother. He even confessed that he only cried twice to express his feeling of grief. The first time was in 1997 when he visited his mother’s grave.

“There’s not a day that William and I don’t wish that she was still around, and we wonder what kind of a mother she would be now, and what kind of a public role she would have, and what a difference she would be making.”

We all miss Princess Diana, she was truly one of a kind.

Teenage girl forced not to attend prom because of bullying by classmates

The prom is an important milestone in high-school students’ life. It represents the end of a chapter, and the start of a new one. It is also the night when teenagers get the chance to shine through their carefully chosen outfit and make up thus have the night of their life surrounded by peers with whom they spent years filled with memories worth cherishing.

Sadly, not everyone is eager to attend this special night.

Shannon Purcifer, a 16-year-old teenager from Britain, was happy about the prom night. She bought a stunning dress that she couldn’t wait to wear, but then, her desire was crushed into a million pieces.

Namely, this beautiful girl has been battling several diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and ulcers, which causes her troubles walking at times. Because of this, she has been a victim of bullying by her classmates. They ridicule her because of her heath and make fun of her condition. The mean words and the pressure she faced made her decide not to attend the prom night.

In order to raise awareness of the negative consequences of bullying, Shannon’s mother took to Facebook to share her daughter’s heartbreak.

“Shannon would have had a gorgeous outfit if she had attended the prom tonight. But, “thanks” to her awful classmates, she didn’t want to go, mix with the mess that made her so unhappy. For a young child who had to struggle through so much… She is one of the strongest young women I know, and her mind is even stronger. I love you, darling!”

Once the story went viral, people from all over the country reached Shannon’s mom and offered to help her organize a private prom with many guests for her daughter, and that’s exactly what this mother did.

They invited some of Shannon’s friends and she could finally put on the dress she bought.

What’s most, this girl was accompanied to her prom by 120 motorcyclists who showed up to support her and help raise awareness against bullying.

Shannon had the time of her life because she was surrounded by people who love her and care for her.

Let this story serve as a reminder to always react when you notice someone is being bullied.

Boy, nearly 7, who lost half his face after being attacked by dogs is called ‘monster’ in public

Ryder Wells from North Carolina is a nearly seven year old boy who had to overcome a lot during his short life and is still fighting. When the boy was only 21 months old, he and his family were visiting friends for Thanksgiving when Ryder was brutally attacked by two 100-pound Rottweilers.

The terrific incident resulted in sweet Ryder losing half of his face. He also had his teeth crushed and suffered from a broken arm and punctured lung. Doctors’ prognosis weren’t bright, but the little fighter survived. Over the course of 5 years, Ryder had to undergo around 50 surgeries to reconstruct his face.

Until he gets mature, he will need to have more surgeries, including nose and teeth reconstruction.

Ryder’s family is proud of their hero son, but they are at the same time concerned for him because he now attends kindergarten and is always starred at, not only by his little friends, but adults too. And although he’s still very young, he is aware of everything. Speaking to The Mirror, his mother Brittany said how “He wears glasses and a cap and sometimes he’ll hang his head to hide his face. But I just tell him every day that he’s beautiful, different is beautiful and it’s ok to be different.”

Gofundme

Recently, the family was at the park when a child pointed at Ryder and started yelling, ‘monster’, before he ran away. This didn’t happen for the first time. “Out shopping the other day someone shouted ‘ew’ at him. It’s hard and it breaks my heart as a parent that after everything he’s been through, people aren’t always nice over something he can’t help.”

Brittany is afraid that things could get even worse once Ryder starts going to school because no matter now innocent children are, they are not really considerate.

She fears her sweet boy may easily become a victim of bullying and is doing all in her power to raise awareness about the effects of bullying on someone like her son. She wants everyone to think twice about how they treat people who are different and hopes her son will be accepted by the society. “I just reassure him as much as I can but I’m absolutely terrified about when he goes to school. There are always going to be a couple of kids who aren’t kind,” she adds.

We should all teach our children to embrace differences and always treat everyone with respect because that would help children like sweet Ryder have a better life.

King Charles’ ‘sausage’ fingers spark concerns: The Queen said he had ‘interesting’ hands even as a baby

With the sudden passing of Queen Elizabeth II, changes in the British Royal family took place. Prince Charles now became King Charles III and William and Kate received the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.

The newly appointed King gave emotional speech to the nation and spoke dearly of his late mother and everything she had done for the country and its people during her 70 years of reign.

“Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss,” King Charles said, adding a few heartfelt words for his wife of 17 years, Camilla, who becomes Queen Consort.

“I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much.”

Charles added that despite the sorrow around the nation and Commonwealth, people would always “remember and draw strength from the light of her example.”

Other members of the royalty also expressed their sadness over the Queen’s passing. Prince Harry was among them. On his Archwell website, Harry wrote, “Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings – from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren.”

He then added, “I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over.

“And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.”

Queen Elizabeth witnessed history being made over the years and she certainly was part of history herself. Her reign saw 15 different Prime Ministers, from Winston Churchill to the newly appointed Liz Truss. It was Truss with whom the late Queen had her last duty as a royal when she welcomed her to her summer home, Balmoral Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, shortly before her passing.

Truss, as well as senior MPs, swore a new oath of allegiance to King Charles.

As King Charles takes over the throne, photos of his fingers raise concerns regarding his health.

Namely, the King’s fingers look swollen, but it turns out he was born that way.

During a visit to Australia in 2012, King Charles allegedly joked about his fingers, referring to them as to his ‘sausage fingers.’

After William was born, Charles sent a letter to a friend informing him that he became a father. In the letter, he wrote, “I can’t tell you how excited and proud I am. He really does look surprisingly appetizing and has sausage fingers just like mine,” as per Howard Hodgson biography Charles, The Man Who Will Be King.

The Queen herself was aware Charles’ fingers were ‘different’ from the moment he was born.

“The baby is very sweet and we are enormously proud of him. He has an interesting pair of hands for a baby,” a letter from Queen Elizabeth read.

“They are rather large, but with fine long fingers quite unlike mine and certainly unlike his father’s. It will be interesting to see what they become. I still find it hard to believe I have a baby of my own!”

However, now that he became King, doctors raised concerns regarding his health. Dr. Gareth Nye, Senior Lecturer at the University of Chester, spoke to the Daily Star and explained that King Charles’ swollen fingers might be a result of oedema or fluid retention.

“Oedema is a condition where the body starts to retain fluids in the limbs, normally the legs and ankles but also in the fingers, which causes them to swell,” Nye said. “Oedema is a common condition and mostly affects people over the age of 65 as the ability for fluid control is restricted.”

He added, “To see if this is the cause, pressing the swollen area for about 15 seconds would cause a depression in the area.”

The state of his fingers could also be a sign of arthritis.

“There certainly aren’t any immediate health concerns to be concluded from swollen fingers and is most likely a sign of his age;” Dr. Gareth Nye concluded.

King Charles’ private life was a turbulent one. His marriage to Princess Diana ended in divorce after he got involved in an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. The late Princess learned of her husband’s cheating, and she even confronted Camilla once. Lady Di died in a tragic car accident five years after the divorce.

People laughed at her after someone snapped a photo of her as she fell inside the grocery store

Very often, people who don’t seem to fit in what is considered ‘normal’ by the society get judged and are made fun of by others and that is the sad face of humanity.

Back in 2012, a woman named Jennifer Knapp Wilkinson got involved in an accident that made her a meme and a subject of humiliation. Despite the number of years that passed by, she is still affected by the photo of her falling from a wheelchair that went viral overnight.

Namely, Wilkinson was overweight, and it wasn’t her fault entirely. She had been experiencing severe pain in her spine which prevented her from having much physical activity and that added to her weight. Her disease made her body weak, especially her legs. She had also been experiencing difficulties maintaining balance and was struggling with depression.

At the time the viral photo was taken, Wilkinson was at a supermarket, using a wheelchair to navigate around. At one point, she reached towards a pack of juice for her husband, but she fell out of the wheelchair.

Sadly, instead of helping her stand on her feet and asking if she was okay, someone snapped a photo of her which they later shared online.

Many people took their time to comment on the photo which showed this woman in a state of helplessness. Sadly, they didn’t feel sorry for her. Instead, they made fun of her weight. That crushed her, but it also made her aware that she was in need of a change that would make her life a bit easier.

Wilkinson says she gained ‘fame’ with the embarrassing photo of her, and she wants to spread a message that obesity is a disease.

She is now trying to live healthy, but with all the health issues she is facing, that’s not really easy.

The reason why Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley were never parents

He was the King of Pop and she was the daughter of the King of Rock and Roll. What a couple one would say, and they wouldn’t be far from the truth about Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.

When the two tied the knot, it felt like bringing two music dynasties together.

However, their marriage was short-lived and only lasted for two years, period during which Jackson faced accusations of child molesting. It was widely reported that Jackson was dependant of his wife amid the personal struggles he was going through, and she was huge support.

Back in the day, she was reported saying, “I believed he didn’t do anything wrong, and that he was wrongly accused and, yes, I started falling for him. I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it.”

Later, she tried to persuade him to settle the allegations out of court and go into rehabilitation to recover. The King of Pop subsequently did both.

Having had two children from her previous marriage to Chicago-born musician Danny Keough, daughter Riley Keough, an actress and model, and son Benjamin Storm Keough, Presley didn’t want any more children, so she and Jackson didn’t have any.

The two alienated because of her decision not to make him a father.

Still, Jackson became a father. Two of his children, Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson, Jr. and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson were brought into the world by the singer’s second wife and friend of many years Debbie Rowe. In fact, rumors were that he married her so that she could help him become a father, something the pop icon wanted badly.

Debbie was still more of a friend than a wife. In fact, she was more like a surrogate than a mother and wasn’t attached to the children.

“My kids don’t call me Mom because I don’t want them to. They’re Michael’s children. It’s not that they are not my children, but I had them because I wanted him to be a father. People make remarks, ‘I can’t believe she left her children.’ Left them? I left my children? I did not leave my children. My children are with their father, where they are supposed to be. I didn’t do it to be a mother… If he called me tonight and said let’s have five more [children], I’d do it in a heartbeat,” she said during an interview with English journalist Martin Bashir.

In 1999, Michael and Debbie divorced, and he got full custody of the children.

The star’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, or better known as Blanket, was born in 2002, but information regarding who his mother is has never been revealed.

Husband learns wife is having an affair – Sues her lover and ends up winning $750k 

When Kevin Howard, a man from North Carolina, tied the knot with his wife some 12 years ago, he was certain it would be forever.

However, things started going south between them and they both agreed to attend couple’s therapy and smooth things down. Although they both seemed interested in fixing their relationship, Kevin knew his wife was hiding something from him.

So, he decided to hire a private detective and make sure she wasn’t lying to him. Sadly, he learned that she was having an affair with a co-worker whom Kevin believed was her friend.

Saddened by the discovery, he decided to call his marriage quits and filed for divorce, which was a painful one.

Convinced that the other man was the one who interfered in his marriage and broke it, Kevin decided to sue him for that.

Believe it or not, prosecutors found the lover guilty of destroying Kevin’s marriage and he was ordered to pay Kevin $750,000.

“I believe in the sanctity of marriage,” Kevin told CNN. “Other families should see what the consequences are not only of breaking the vow of any religion you believe in, but also of your legal responsibilities.”

Surprisingly, in a few states, including North Carolina, there is a “housekeeper” law, the one Kevin’s wife’s lover was found guilty on the grounds of.

Mom shares video of dying 2-year-old daughter’s last moments singing her favorite song

Magalli Jimenez became a mother of a beautiful daughter named Ava Skye. The girl brought happiness into her mommy’s life and was a vibrant and a happy child. Unfortunately, that all changed when sweet Ava turned 13 months old.

All of a sudden, the girl started experiencing pain. She cried and it was obvious something was very wrong. When Magalli took her to the doctor’s, she received the news no parents should ever hear. Ava had muscle cancer.

This crushed Magalli’s world, but she knew there was a long way of fighting the disease and she knew she needed to be strong for her child.

Ava undergone chemo treatments, and her mommy could only pray for those treatments to work and help her girl get better and end up a winner.

Eventually, Ava went into remission and her family was over the moon, but sadly, their happiness was short-lived.

In July 2022, doctors informed Ava’s family that her cancer relapsed, and it was resistant to treatment. They hoped they would be able to remove it surgically, but this sweet girl’s body was already too fragile and there was not much hope that she would be able to recover.

The family was praying for a miracle, but they were also preparing for the worse.

Magalli was unable to come to terms with the fact that she only had days left with her daughter.

Ava was taken to a hospice care in hopes to make her final days as comfortable as possible. From time to time, the crushed mother went to the bathroom to cry, but she always made sure she acted happy around her daughter.

“We will just let her live her life and enjoy her and do all the things that we’ve ever wanted to do with her. We’ve made a bucket list for her,” Magalli said.

Instagram/ avaskyestrong

Friends of the family set up a GoFundMe page to help with the medical expenses and fulfil all the things on Ava’s bucket list, but sadly, on  August 22, 2022, sweet Ava took her last breath.

A day before her passing, Ava, who was fragile and exhausted from all the treatments and hospital visits, gathered strength to sing her mommy a song. She chose her favorite nursery song. “I love you. You love me. We are a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss kiss. [sic] Won’t you say you love me too?” Ava sang.

Luckily, Magalli was able to put that special moment on tape so that she could cherish it forever.

The video of sweet Ava singing to the one person she loved the most shows how caring and brave she was.

“My heart will forever be broken, it will never be the same, but I promised her that I would live for her. Hug your kiddos a little harder today, even when they drive you insane,” the heart-broken mother wrote.

Queen Elizabeth will be laid to rest beside her parents – Prince Phillip will be moved to join her

The news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II took the world by storm. Britan mourns the loss of their longest reigning monarch and the person who offered stability in times of strife. She served her people, many of whom have known no other sovereign, until the very last day of her life.

The Queen’s last duty as a royal was meeting newly appointed Prime Minister Liz Tuss at Balmoral when she asked her to form a new government following Boris Johnson’s resignation.

And now, as new era dawns in Britain, its people are getting ready for a final farewell to Her Majesty the Queen.

The exact day of the funeral hasn’t been confirmed yet, but preparations are underway. According to reports and the royal protocol, the Queen’s coffin would be expected to leave Balmoral and be taken by road to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. There will be proclamations in the devolved nations at Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast while tributes in parliament continue. A ceremonial procession from Holyrood along the Royal Mile to St Giles’ Cathedral for a service attended by members of the royal family is expected to be held and St Giles’ Cathedral will open to the public for 24 hours for a period of lying at rest. After that, the coffin is expected to be flown to London.

The state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey and eventually, the Queen will be interred at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor Castle. The body of her late husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is expected to be relocated and the pair reunited to lie together.

Invitation to see the Queen shortly before her passing wasn’t extended to Meghan Markle, royal expert claims

Queen Elizabeth II had always been the pillar of her people. Most Britons recognized her as their only monarch as her reigning extended 70 years during which she helped shape the history of the country, all the way to World War II.

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

Britan was somehow aware that this moment was nearing as the Queen’s health was reported to be frail during the last period. She missed some events that had been already arranged and took a little break from royal duties when advised by her doctors to take rest.

On the day of her passing, media reported that Her Majesty was under medical supervision at Balmoral, Scotland, the castle she spent most of her summers at. As the news of her declining health spread, crowds started gathering in Scotland and her closest family was asked to be there.

Prince Charles, who will be crowned King of England, was in the country already, as well as his wife, Camilla, the Queen Consort, and Princess Anne.

The rest of the family, Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edwards, and his wife Sophie all arrived earlier in the morning of her health taking a turn for the worse. It is not revealed, however, whether any of them were present with the Queen at the time of her death.

Prince Harry was reported to have arrived in Scotland shortly after the news of the Queen’s death was made public. He was spotted making his way to Balmoral in a black SUV, covering half his face with his hand, understandably not wanting to be photographed.

He traveled all by himself, without Meghan accompanying him, although she has already been in England at the time as she and Harry were expected to attend the WellChild Awards in London.

Reports are that the family wanted Harry to see his grandmother following the news of doctors’ concerns for her health.

“It’s understood that the family wanted Prince Harry to be there, even though he was unable to get to Balmoral in time to see his grandmother,” royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET.

“But Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, was not, we understand, invited to join the family,” Nicholl added. “She has said she will go to Balmoral another time. But I think it is quite significant that Prince Harry traveled to Balmoral on his own without his wife.”

King Charles spoke of the great loss of Queen Elizabeth as his mother and a ruler of the country.

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” the new king said.  

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world,” the statement continued. “During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held,” it continued, as reported by The New York Post.

Queen Elizabeth’s passing represents the end of an era. May she rest in peace.
