A horrific accident left two families mourning the loss of their children, something no parent should ever experience.

Two high-school students, Kalen Hart and Lendon Byram, died in a car crash on their way to prom. The accident took place on Saturday, May 1, at around 5:15 p.m. local time in Arcadia, roughly 35 miles north of Indianapolis, as reported by Fox.

Hart was a senior at Hamilton Heights High School, while her prom date and boyfriend Byram attended Cathedral High School.

The news of their tragic passing shook the country and everyone who knew them and their families.

It has been reported that Byram was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, while Hart was in the passenger seat. Two other high-school graduates were at the back of the car, and luckily, they didn’t sustain any serious injuries.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own … due to injuries sustained in a traffic accident yesterday,” the Hamilton Heights School Corporation wrote on Sunday. “This is an unimaginable loss to these families and our school community.”

Hart’s heartbroken mother, Jody Bartrom Conaway, wrote: “My 18-year-old daughter, along with her boyfriend, were killed in an automobile accident on her way to prom. No parent should ever have to bury their child.” She has also shared a fundraiser on Facebook.

Our hearts go out to the grieving families. Rest in peace, Kalen Hart and Lendon Byram, you will never be forgotten.

Things you’ll understand only if you have a grandma in your life

If you are looking for a synonym for love, compassion, care, and selflessness, that one word which stands for all is probably the word GRANDMA.

Grandmothers are those special individuals in the life of children that no one can ever replace. If you are one of those people fortunate enough to have their grandmas in their life and by their side then you know what we are talking about.

The list of what makes grandmas our superheroes is endless. For one, they are the best chefs there are. They always put on the plate not only food but also their heart and in their warm home there are always a bunch of cookies and candies and that reminds us of our younger days when everything seemed so carefree.

If you ever find yourself in trouble, your grandma is always someone you can count on. They will never leave your side and will always be supportive.

The grandmas’ arms are the safest place to be whenever we feel down or things don’t turn as we expected. One warm word coming from their mouth is more than enough to calm our soul down and give us the strength to move on.

Grandmas represent a whole world in a single woman. Their life experience and wisdom make them the best person to turn to when we need valuable advice. Nothing really beats grandmas’ love for her grandchildren, they are her whole world and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for their well being.

No matter how old we get, we will always be children at our grandmas’ eyes. They are the piece of our childhood that we cherish the most.

If you still have this very special person in your life tell them you love them today and remind them of what their presence really means to you!

Before Bill Gates married Melinda, whom he met when she started working for Microsoft back in the day, he dated another woman who remained a very significant person to him his entire life. Now, after the news that the founders of one of the biggest foundations there are, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which donated a grant of $1.75 billion to vaccine initiatives, diagnostics and research during the coronavirus pandemic, are divorcing, the truth about Bill’s relationship to his ex-girlfriend Ann Winblad came to light.

Bill and Ann, who is a venture capitalist, started a relationship after they met at a Ben Rosen-Esther Dyson computer conference in 1984. They both shared passion for high tech and clicked right away.

Although they broke up three years later, the two have remained very close. According to an article published by Time Magazine, Bill made an agreement with Melinda to be able to spend a weekend with Ann every year, which in fact was the case, as per writer Walter Isaacson.

The two were reported to have been spending a long-weekend each spring at Ann’s beach cottage in North Carolina where they would take long walks, hang glide, and ride dune biggies.

In fact, some magazines wrote that Bill even asked for Ann’s approval when he wanted to marry Melinda, and she was reported to had said how Melinda was the perfect match for him and gave him her blessings.

Ann is married to San Francisco private investigator Edward Alex Kline, the younger brother of actor Kevin Kline.

As per Time, Ann commented her relationship with Bill and spending a weekend with him each year saying that they share their thoughts about the world and themselves. “And we marvel about how, as two young overachievers, we began a great adventure on the fringes of a little-known industry and it landed us at the center of an amazing universe.”

After the split of Bill and Melinda, which is dubbed one of the most expensive divorces in the world, we can’t wait to see how the enormous wealth between the former spouses will be divided.

Prince Philip’s cause of death revealed a month after his passing

Her Majesty The Queen described the passing of her loving husband of 73 years as a “miracle,” referring to the fact that he died peacefully at home, which was his wish, and not at the hospital under strict COVID regulations, according to Prince Andrew.

It was also her who had shared the sad news of his passing. “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss,” the Buckingham Palace posted.

Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, passed away on April 9, 2021, two months before what would have been his milestone birthday.

A month before he died, Prince Philip spent some time at the hospital because of declining health.

Now, some four weeks later, the cause of his death has been revealed by Sir Huw Thomas who has been caring for the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth since 2014. It is confirmed that Prince Philip died of old age, as reported by The Telegraph.

Prince Philip was a loving husband, father of four, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather. He was described by the Queen as her “strength and stay.” Prince William said of his grandfather: “My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family.

“I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life – both through good times and the hardest days.

“I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her.

“I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humor!”

Harry also paid tribute to the man who was extremely supportive of him and his brother throughout the years, especially at the time when they lost their mother.

“He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm – and also because you never knew what he might say next.

“He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the monarch, a decorated serviceman, a prince and a duke,” Harry said.

“But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ’til the end.”

Rest in peace, Prince Philip.

Girl with deformity banned from Pre-K by owners because she “will scare other kids”

The sad reality is that people who are in any way considered ‘different’ are very likely to experience discrimination in their life. It looks like the societies have a long way to go until they learn to accept every person the way they are.

Sofya Zakharova is a girl from Russia who was born with a deformity of the skull and fused fingers and toes. Despite that, she is a very bright and happy child whose parents love her to the moon and back and would do all in their power for her to thrive. Sadly, the place where they live isn’t really open to embracing differences so little Sofya was banned from attending pre-k because of her looks.

Source: NTV

The problem is that they live in a rural area in an apartment with no heating and no water and a single pre-k institution.

The reason why the manager of the pre-k refused to let Sofya attend the facility is that “she would scare other kids.” Her parents were devastated to hear this. They knew their girl might be stared at once she grows older, but never expected for her to be discriminated from such a young age.

Russia does have some anti-discrimination laws, but they are yet to be shaped.

Source: NTV

After the story of Sofya spread around, a charity organization from the area, Rainbow Goodness decided to step in and try convincing the pre-k to enroll Sofya, but the small-minded manager said he would only let that happen if she undergoes a corrective surgery. The parents are poor and can barely provide food, let alone a surgery of that type. Childhood psychology experts got involved as well and explained how Sofya should be around other kids and interact with them, but the day care is still refusing to change their ridiculous decision.

But although the charity failed at helping with the pre-k issue, they still managed to move the Zakharovas to a different apartment with gas and running water.

The local government decided to step in and provide Sofya with a surgery, so she will soon be flying to Moscow. But no matter how much the parents appreciate the help they are getting, what they truly want is for the anti-discrimination laws to be applied with full force so that no other child will ever have to go through the same ordeal as their child.

Mom claims employees at daycare center broke her 3-month-old daughter’s arm

Daycare centers should be the safest places for young children to be. Sadly, that isn’t always the case. We hear too often of little kids being treated in an abusive and neglectful manner by those who are supposed to take great care of them.

A mother named Alecia Jenkins from Spring, Texas, says that the employees at the Children Lighthouse Daycare in Spring Harmony broke her 3-month-old daughter’s arm.

After her maternity leave was over, Jenkins returned to her job as a second-grade teacher and left her baby girl at the daycare center for the first time on April 12. Between teaching classes, Jenkins monitored her baby through the cameras and that’s when she saw one of the employees at the daycare center lifting the little one in panic. She could be seen running to the phone and calling her coworkers who gathered around Jenkins’ baby.

It was more than obvious something was wrong. When the worried mother arrived to pick her baby girl, she could see the little one’s arm was limb. The staff assured her it wasn’t serious. “They said she’ll be ok. She may have slept on her arm wrong. It may just have to be popped back into place, it’ll be alright,” the mom told FOX26Houston.

Jenkins drove her daughter to the ER for an x-ray which showed the baby’s arm was broken. “The humerus bone, there was a fracture in that bone. They said it’s typically related to child abuse situations,” she said.

FOX26Houston reported that Jenkins is now suing the daycare for over one million dollars and states that an investigation was launched a day after the incident took place.

Speaking to the outlet, the mother said: “She’s healing. It’s been rough but as the days go on, I think she’s getting stronger. For this to happen on the first day of daycare, has ruined me and my perspective on daycares and just being able to trust people with my baby.”

The baby will have to take medications and wear a cast for six weeks until her arm heals.

The stories behind the three rings Kate Middleton wears on her wedding finger

By

Not only she will be a much loved and appreciated queen one day, but she is also a fashion icon who takes our breath away whenever she appears in public. Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, has adopted a distinctive style. She’s both elegant and casual, depending on the occasion.

This year, Kate and William celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and shared beautiful photos of themselves which show that the two are very much in love with one another as day one. They also treated the public with a family video which features them doing fun stuff, such as toasting marshmallows over an open fire.

The couple started dating while they were both attending St Andrews University in Scotland. At one point, they split and Kate got the nickname “Waity Katy” by the media, but that didn’t last long as William called her shortly after and asked her to get back to him.

William proposed to Kate in in 2010, while on a trip to Kenya, with his late mother’s engagement ring. The beautiful piece of jewelry is a 12-carat sapphire sparkler with 14 solitaire diamonds surrounding it. In fact, it was Harry who believed Kate should have that ring which holds a very special place in both brothers’ hearts.

According to late Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrel, Prince Charles let William and Harry choose a piece each from their mother’s personal jewelry collection. William picked a golden Cartier watch, and Harry got to have the engagement ring, which was designed by Garrard & Co back in 1981.

Later, when William told his brother he wanted to propose to Kate, Harry offered him the ring because “then one day that ring will be sat on the throne of England,” according to Burrel.

This ring, however, isn’t the only one that Kate wears. Her wedding ring, made from a special nugget of gold from the Clogau St David’s mine at Bontddu in North Wales, is also on her finger, as well as an Eclipse Diamond Eternity ring by Annoushka which is believed to be given to her after the birth of Prince George in 2013.

Of course, being Prince William’s wife, Kate is allowed to use jewelry from the Queen’s collection, including the tiaras.

Recently, she has been spotted wearing a diamond daisy-shaped necklace from Asprey, probably an anniversary gift from William.

Kate often wears outfits she has had for many years and that speaks that although she will be a queen one day, she is a very grounded person that we all love very much.

Some towns in US fight against bullying by introducing a fine for parents whose kids bully others

By

Every educational institution should be a safe place where our kids learn new things and are taught how to become good people who will be a valuable part of the society.

What these institutions should never be are places where children feel vulnerable. Sadly, bullying is present among children of any age and with the increase of technology and social networking sites, it only increases to the extent that schools are no longer capable to cope with. 

The fact is that if someone young is a victim of bullying, their self-esteem decreases and it may lead to severe physical and emotional problems later in life. That is why it has to be prevented on time. 

Shawano, Wisconsin Rapids, and Plovin which are all towns in the state of Wisconsin have found a way to stop bullying among school student. The measures they have undertaken may look way too severe to some, but they are determined to create a normal and friendly environment for each student that attends their schools. 

Namely, the parents of the kids that will be caught bullying others will face fines as low as $313. 

These towns came up with this rule as the result of the uncontrollable trend of bullying that affects many students. 

They are convinced that this measure will make parents be more strict and spend more time teaching their kids right from wrong. 

When a kid is seen treating others with disrespect, the police department will send his or her parents a warning, and if the bullying continues, they will have to pay the fine. The towns believe that when they are forced to pay that much money, the parents will make sure their kids don’t hurt others in any way again. 

However, if paying the fine doesn’t give the expected results, it will increase to $366 for the second time the kid bullies others and will get to $681 every other time. This is a high amount of money that no parent will be willing to pay so they will likely make their children behave properly and treat others with ultimate respect. 

The chief of the Shawano Police Department speaks of this rule saying, “This isn’t generated towards the kids being kids, some playground banter. This is the person that is meticulously using social media or saying things that are vulgar in an attempt to hurt, discredit, and really demean a person.”

This measure proved to be very effective as it was reported that the cases of bullying in the town on Plovin decreased significantly even before any fines were issued.

We believe that bullying is very serious and has to be treated as such as it affects the life of many students in the most negative way. When we think of all those cases where victims of bullying took their own life unable to put up with how they were treated by their classmates and peers, we support this rule and we strongly believe it should be implemented in each and every town across the U.S.

Queen Elizabeth to “fade away gracefully” after Prince Philip’s passing as Prince Charles takes on bigger role in the Family

Days have passed after Prince Philip’s passing and the Queen is back to her royal duties. However, as she celebrated her 95th birthday, it looks like she’s ready to give her son Charles, the future king, more freedom of making decisions regarding the family.

With her husband of 73 years no longer by her side, Queen Elizabeth is doing her best to cope with her pain. Members of her family are by her side and she’s also spending time with her corgis who help her overcome her grief. “She does not like seeing her dogs suffer and she knows that sometimes putting a dog down is the kindest course of action – although that doesn’t make her loss any less,” a source told the Daily Mail.

On her birthday, which she celebrated with scaled-down event, she expressed her gratitude to the well-wishers as well as those who reached to her after her husband’s passing to offer their condolences.

I have, on the occasion of my 95th birthday today, received many messages of good wishes, which I very much appreciate.

While as a family we are in a period of great sadness, it has been a comfort to us all to see and to hear the tributes paid to my husband, from those within the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and around the world.

My family and I would like to thank you for all the support and kindness shown to us in recent days. We have been deeply touched, and continue to be reminded that Philip had such an extraordinary impact on countless people throughout his life.

She also took the time to personally thank everyone who paid tribute to Prince Philip. She sent cards with the photo of the Duke and a heartwarming message which said:

“In memory of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. I send you my sincere thanks for your kind words of sympathy on the death of my husband.”

Throughout the years, The Queen served her people and the country impeccably. And now, royal experts believe that she will “fade away,” and give more space to Charles and William in terms of decisions about leading the country.

A source told People in April: “Her family will step up and be by her side, but she will carry on. She understands that she has a job to do, and [Philip] would have wanted her to crack on. [The Queen] did do so when he retired from public life.

“She will never abdicate because of duty and honor and public service is so deep in her, as it was for him.”

Royal expert Angela Levin believes that Prince Charles will start appear more in public as he’s trying to get his way. “In fact, she will be grateful for him to be taking over in making I imagine quite big decisions on behalf of the royal family,” Levin told Express.

According to former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, Queen Elizabeth will retract from the spotlight and will likely attend meetings at Buckingham Palace just two days a week only, and leave the receptions, the garden parties, and other events to Prince Charles to host.

“Fundamentally, the queen will fade away gracefully,” Hunt told New York Times.

“Covid has helped in the sense that it has accelerated what any sensible 95-year-old woman would want to do, which is not stand on your feet all day long.”

Once on the throne, experts believe that Prince Charles will make fundamental changes regarding the roles the members of the royal family have at the time. “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,” a royal expert revealed on TalkRADIO.

Many share this opinion and believe it will be Harry and Meghan that Charles will “ditch” first after he becomes a king.

Utah woman who had no idea she was pregnant gives birth on flight to Hawaii

If you have ever seen the TLC show I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant, I am sure you couldn’t help but wonder if those stories were real or made-up. The truth is that this can happen even more often than one can ever imagine.

A few days ago, a mother, who had no idea she was carrying a child, gave birth shortly after she boarded on a plane. The story took the Internet by storm, to say the least, and many are left in awe of how this is even possible.

The happy and very surprised mother, Lavinia Mounga from Utah, was traveling to Hawaii on Wednesday when she started experiencing contractions.

The once-in-a-lifetime “incident” went viral after one of the passengers, a woman named Julia Hansen, took to TikTok to announce the pretty much unexpected birth with a clip and the caption: “A baby was just born on this plane.” She later added: “To those wondering how she was able to fly in her third trimester, I sat next to her dad on the plane and he said they didn’t even know she was pregnant.”

Lani Bamfield, a nurse from Kansas City, who helped deliver the baby shared her impressions. “If anyone would like to know how our trip to Hawaii is going… here’s how it started,” she wrote on Facebook.

‘We delivered a 26-27 weeker in the airplane bathroom, in the middle of the ocean, with three NICU nurses, a Physicians assistant, and a family medicine doctor we were able to make it THREE HOURS before we could finally land but the baby and mom did great.

“God was definitely with us up there.”

The mother and her baby, whom she named Raymond Kaimana Wade Kobe Lavaki Mounga, are doing perfectly fine. The mom has been discharged and her newborn son is still in the NICU because he was born prematurely.

The mom wrote that she was “overwhelmed in the best way,” and the baby’s father, Ethan Magalei, didn’t feel any less exited. He called his bundle of joy a “miracle.”

Delta Airlines also spoke of the miraculous birth and a spokesperson for the company said: “The safety of our crew and customers is our top priority. Our crews are well trained to manage a number of on board medical scenarios. Every aircraft is equipped with medical equipment and crews have access to expert counsel during flight when an issue occurs.”

We congratulate the family on their new addition and wish them all the best in the years that follow.

Dad surrounded by a group of soldiers at Chik-Fil-A jumps into action with desperate plea

By
Monica Pop

Do you ever wonder how good parenting works? Well, I guess the most logical answer would be by setting examples and encouraging our little ones to follow them. This is exactly what one generous man did when he found himself surrounded by a group of military members.

Brothers Jonathan and Stephen Full were enjoying their meal together with their children when a group of soldiers entered the Chik-Fil-A restaurant. Jonathan knew this encounter would be the perfect opportunity for him to fulfill one of his dreams and at the same time teach his son a valuable lesson.

Having deep respect for everything these brave men and women do for the safety of our country, Jonathan was always looking forward to the chance of buying a soldier a meal. Now he got to do it not once, but multiple times. He told WTVD:

“It’s always been on my mind to pay for some military members’ meals when I get the chance. It just hit me real good in my heart to do it then. And it just happened.”

He decided to pay for the lunch of every member of the military that entered the place that day.

“Man is there a bus dropped off somewhere? Did we just hit the motherload here? What felt moving through my heart is I didn’t care if 200 more showed. I was still going to buy the meal.”

At the end, near a dozen meals were on Jonathan and he felt blessed he was given this opportunity to show these people how much he respected their sacrifice.

Stephen took some photos of this inspiring act and shared them online, writing how proud he was of his younger brother.

“As he paid for their meals, in remembrance of our late brother Joshua who suffered mentally from severe PTSD, he asked them to reach out to anyone they knew with PTSD and try their best to get them the help they needed. We thanked them for their service and left. Taught our boys to take care of the people that take care of us.”

Sadly, PTSD is likely to affect many members of the military, and Stephen wanted to raise awareness regarding the severity and the consequences of this condition.

People say how Jonathan’s act made him their hero. They all agree how every American should treat the military men and women with such respect. As for Jonathan’s son, he was a bit worried that all the food would be gone.

“What are ya crazy!? There’s not going to be any food left!”

He continued eating his chicken nuggets unaware that his daddy was now a local hero who inspired many to be more generous.

Baby born with white patch of hair is winning the internet

Genetics plays a huge part in who we are, and that’s not only true for our character and certain traits and behaviors we express, but our looks as well. We inherit a lot of things from our moms and dads, and ever other family members, and sometimes those features are what makes us unique, as well as different from the rest of the people.

Facebook / Brianna Worthy

The family of baby girl MilliAnna has a distinguishing “trademark” that seems to run in their genes and is passed on from generation to generation.

Sweet MilliAnna and her mother Brianna Worthy are just two of the four generations of women in the family who have a white streak in their hair and that makes them truly special. Their photos have captured the hearts of many who say they are the cutest mother-daughter duo ever.

Facebook / Brianna Worthy

Even before Millianna was born, her mother somehow knew she would inherit that special mark, and her intuition didn’t lie to her. Needless to say, this mother from South Carolina is very happy she and her baby girl have the same hair. That white streak above Millianna’s forehead looks very cool and stylish.

Science says this condition is known as poliosis and is a result of a lack of pigment. Many times, this condition appears along with vitiligo.

Brianna’s mom Jennifer and grandma Jaonne have the same mark. Jaonne was adopted as a little girl so she doesn’t know whether her biological mom had it as well.

When she was little Brianna was often teased because of her white patch of hair and her friends even called her skunk, but as time passed by, she didn’t only learn how to live with her uniqueness, but also embraced it and is proud of it.

She is glad her baby daughter is nicely accepted by everyone and that most people say she’s beyond cute, especially when they see the duo together.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Brianna said, “The majority of the time I welcome the polite comments and don’t mind answering the many questions, but honestly, it can be overwhelming at times. When I’m in a rush and just trying to do what I need and keep going.”

Take a look at the video of MilliAnna and Brianna below and share it with your friends if you think this sweet little girl is beyond beautiful.

Mom doesn’t want adopted son after she has children on her own so she gives him away

It looks like some individuals’ cruelty has no boundaries and it makes us question our faith in humanity.

When he was just five years old, little Dmitri Stewart was adopted from an orphanage near Moscow, Russia, and was brought to the U.S. But the American dream turned into a nightmare for this boy.

When he turned 13, his adoptive mother, Victoria got pregnant and she and her husband Billy believed Dmitri was just a burden now they were about to have children on their own.

What they decided to do will chill your blood. They took to the Internet to find him new parents. These vicious people gave Dmitri away to a complete stranger they chatted with online.

Sadly, the person Dmitri ended up with was a woman named Nicole Eason who was engaged to a pedophile. She lived in a run-down shack she claimed was a home school. The worst part of all was that she wasn’t allowed to have any more children as her own were taken away from her by the social services. 

Luckily for Dmitri, a neighbor got concerned for him and alerted the authorities who took him from Eason. 

When they learned of Dmitri’s ordeal, people were horrified because of the way he was dumped by his adoptive parents. Children swap was something real and it terrified the whole country.

Thankfully, Dmitri was able to continue with his life. He’s now 20 years old and wants his story heard. 

Late Lady Di “visibly blushed” while dancing with Neil Diamond at White House dinner

This year will mark what would have been the 60th birthday of the princess who stole millions of hearts and influenced a great number of people with her heart of gold, late Lady Di.

The People’s Princess lost her life after she and her partner Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, together with her driver and her bodyguard, got involved in a car accident. According to reports, they were speeding in order to escape the paparazzi, and that lead them to death.

Even years after the tragedy, her people have not forgotten their Princess whose legacy leaves on.

The statue of this incredible woman will be unveiled on July 1. Her sons, Prince William and prince Harry, are expected to attend the significant event, if Harry doesn’t come up with a “convenient excuse” as reported by some royal experts.

Today, when we remember the late Princess, we can’t help but recall the iconic night at The White House and the dinner hosted in her and Prince Charles’ honor by then-president Ronald Reagan and the first lady Nancy Reagan.

Just recently, actor John Travolta spoke of the special moment he shared with Princess Diana on that night back in 1985 and described it as a “fairytale.”

However, the Grease star wasn’t the only person who had the honor to share the dance floor with Lady Di. She danced with President Reagan, Tom Seleck, and Clint Eastwood as well. Speaking of that night, actor Seleck told Daily Mail: “I was so nervous I couldn’t think of anything sensible to say. It remains one of my great regrets – I danced with Princess Diana and couldn’t say a damn interesting thing to her the whole time.”

“At least I wasn’t quite as uncomfortable as Clint Eastwood. He went next and was really out of his safety zone!” he added.

But according to Pete Souza, the official White House photographer during the Reagan administration, it was singer Neil Diamond who made the Princess blush.

Souza recalled that Diamond was singing You Don’t Bring Me Flowers when he started dancing with Diana. “The one rock-solid remembrance I have is that Diana was visibly blushing when she danced with Neil,” Souza said.

The photographer commented how the Princess’ face was even more obviously red in person than on the photographs and added that Diana didn’t dance with her husband that night.

Meghan Markle was told by a senior royal aide she’d never be “in first division” in the royal family, experts claim

The saying “things aren’t always what they seem” turned out to be true for Meghan Markle. The actress has claimed during several occasions that she had no knowledge of the British royal family while growing up, and as many of us do, she probably believed that being a royalty is what you see in the movies. Sadly, it turned out it wasn’t the case.

The moment Prince Harry announced he was dating actress Meghan Markle, the two have taken the world by storm. Being an American and a divorcee didn’t bother the royal family even a bit. Well, at least they claimed so, stating they support Harry’s choice.

The wedding of the couple was seen by millions of people, and it was very obvious the two have been very much in love with one another. Despite that, the press somehow tried slamming Meghan whenever they could. And Meghan herself, believes the royal family could be responsible for the treatment she and Harry have been getting by the tabloids.

Speaking to Oprah, Meghan Markle said how she believed the speculations that Buckingham Palace itself might have played a role in actually helping the British tabloid press smear her and Harry to be true.

Among the rest that had been said during The Sussexes’ interview with Oprah was that Kate Middleton made Meghan cry on her wedding day.

Kate was reported to be angry at the allegations. A source said that Kate “would never forgive Meghan for throwing shade at her.”

At the start of her relationship with Harry, Meghan and Kate’s relationship looked perfect. Both of them, together with their husbands, were working together on different royal engagements. During one occasion, Meghan described working alongside William and Kate as “togetherness at its finest.” So, what has changed in the meantime?

Shutterstock

Royal experts, among which Tom Quinn, say how Meghan was told by a senior royal aide that she “would never be in first division.”

Apparently, the whole feud started when Meghan and Harry started living at Kensington Palace, which was William and Kate’s home. Soon after, they moved into Nottingham Cottage, not far from Kate and William. According to Quinn, Meghan wasn’t happy that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were given a quite bigger home.

“It was being pointed out to them in no uncertain terms that they weren’t in the first division, because that place is held by William and Kate. Inevitably that led to friction,” Quinn claims. “In Meghan’s world, if you’re determined enough, you can get to the top. But Meghan can’t, she can’t get to the top whatever she does.”

We can never tell with certainty if this was one of the reasons why Harry and Meghan left Britain, but one thing is certain, they did want to lead a more normal life, away from the fuss that comes with being part of the royalty.

Royal expert believes Kate Middleton used Prince Louis’ birthday photo to send secret message to Prince Harry

One of the reasons why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain was that they wanted to lead more normal lives, away from the paparazzi and the tabloids. However, being royals, that doesn’t seem to be possible no matter which side of the world they decide to reside at. Even in California, paparazzi take photos of the couple and their soon-to-be two year old boy Archie.

Speaking of his new life in the States, Harry was reported saying: “I guess the highlight for me is sticking [son Archie] on the back of a bicycle in his little baby seat and taking him on bike rides which is something I was never able to do when I was young.”

Listening to Harry explaining how he now has the chance to spend more time with his family and do a bunch of things, highlighting taking Archie on bike rides, something he claims he didn’t do while growing up in the Palace, one would say the royal children are robbed of their childhood, which apparently isn’t the case judging from Kate and William’s photos of their own kids.

In fact, some believe that Kate posting a photo of young Prince Louis on his red bike for his birthday and his first day of nursery hides a secret message to Harry.

Daniela Elser, a royal expert, comments on the photo saying: “For one thing, there are in fact a number of shots of Harry as a child riding a two-wheeler with his own dad Prince Charles and brother Prince William. Therefore, it could be argued that the duchess is highlighting that perhaps Harry has been indulging in a certain historical revisionism, something which the inhabitants of Kensington Palace did not miss.”

“The inclusion of the bike can also be read as a very clear rejoinder on William and Kate’s part that despite Harry’s characterization of the climate in the UK as ‘toxic,’ the Cambridge kids enjoy a life of relative normalcy,” Elsner wrote.

Honestly, we believe that Prince Louis’ photo was just an innocent one and showed the joy of his parents celebrating his birthday, but who knows, maybe it did have a message for the boy’s uncle.

Boyfriend asked to check on baby and grandma makes a terrifying discovery

Tracy Ineichen is a 28-year-old mom of a sweet baby girl named Brier. Sadly, this woman had made a minor offence and ended up serving prison time so her little girl was left in the care of her grandma Annette.

Although Tracy knew Brier was in safe hands, she felt something could be wrong after her mom and her daughter didn’t show up to visit her in prison when they arranged. 

Worried, she called her boyfriend Anthony and asked him to check up on Annette and Brier. What he stumbled upon left him in a complete shock. 

The house was quiet and once he entered inside he saw Brier in her crib, all scared and confused. He inspected the place and the moment he entered the bedroom he noticed Annette’s lifeless body. 

The 58-year-old woman was dead and and the baby girl was dehydrated and malnourished. 

Antony alerted the police that came at the scene and said how the woman passed away around five days prior the visit. That meant the baby didn’t have any food or water for that long.

It was determined that Annette died of natural causes. 

When she learned of her mother’s passing, Tracy was left heartbroken. She was also very sad that she wasn’t by her daughter’s side. Luckily, Anthony was there to take great care of the girl while she was recovering from the stress. 

Although he isn’t her biological father, he was more than happy to look after sweet Brier until she was placed in a foster family by the social services. 

“I’m basically like her godfather,” he says, as per WVLT.

“Throughout her whole life, her short little fifteen months that she’s been here, I’ve tried to help her out.”

Thankfully, Tracy is now out and reunited with her daughter. She’s now a completely new person and makes sure she stays out of trouble because she wants to be someone her daughter will look up to when she grows older. 

Harry might be looking for a “convenient excuse” to skip his late mother’s statue reveal ceremony

A lot has been going on between the members of the British royal family lately. From Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties, to leaving The UK and moving to America and the now-infamous interview they had with Oprah, it all added to the strained relationship between Harry and the rest of the family.

The accusations made by the Sussexes left the royals speechless. They were having a hard time moving on from the claims made by Harry and Meghan, including revelations about the conversations senior royals had about how dark Archie’s skin might be and Kate making Meghan cry on her wedding day.

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

Initially, it was planned for Harry to travel back to Britain in June, for the reveal of his late mother’s statue that would mark what would have been her 60th birthday. However, Prince Philip’s passing forced him to meet his family earlier than planned.

While in UK, Harry met with his brother and father, who he claimed were trapped in the system during the Oprah interview, and although the public was hoping for the things between the three to get better, that didn’t happen.

Source told Radar Online that “the meeting after the family laid Prince Philip to rest was not scheduled. Harry felt ambushed by his dad and brother which is no way to start a peace process.”

Apparently, the meeting was “unproductive,” but experts now claim that Harry might be having second thoughts about splitting from the royals. “His heart is on two different sides of the Atlantic now,” Paul Burrel, Princess Diana’s butler of 10 years, told Closer. “Meghan will be faced with that dilemma – the bombshell that Harry now feels split in two.”

Despite that, other royal experts claim that Harry might be reconsidering seeing his family again in June for the statue reveal and will likely come up with a “convenient excuse.”

Russell Myers, royal editor at the Daily Mirror, said on talkRADIO, as quoted by the Express, “I’m told he is still committed to coming. Both camps are. Certainly Kate and William will welcome him if he wants to come back.”

“His intention is to come back. One may wonder, if his wife has just had a baby, I’m sure he could jump on a private jet and made a flying visit.”

“But, will it be a convenient excuse so he doesn’t have to come back and face the family?” he added.

We are yet to see if this encounter takes place. We hope it will.

Prince Harry gave his late mother’s engagement ring to William so that he could propose to Kate with it

The bond between siblings is the strongest and most profound there is. This relationship is deepened even further when a parent is lost. In tragic times like that, siblings get even more connected to one another because they feel the same heartache.

And this is true for anyone, no matter if you are an ordinary person or a member of the Rotalty.

On the day the Princess of the People, Lady Di, died, William and Harry lost their loving mother. She was loved by many because she was never afraid to stand for what she believed in. Her courage and heart of gold were something not many possess.

Today, however, the bond between the brothers is almost broken after Harry and wife Meghan decided to step down from their royal duties and move to the States, and later gave a bombshell interview during which they made accusations against the royal family, with Harry even saying that his father and brother are trapped in the system.

After the funeral of Prince Philip in April this year, it looked like the relationship could be fixed as Harry and William met after almost a year, but that wasn’t really the case.

Losing their mother was devastating for Harry and William. The sight of them walking behind her coffin broke millions of hearts.

After her passing, the young princes were allowed to choose an item from their mom’s personal jewelry collection to hold on to, as revealed by Princess Diana’s personal butler Paul Burrell in the Amazon Prime documentary The Diana Story. Paul recalled that Prince William was the first to choose. “I’d like mummy’s Cartier watch, the one that Grandpa Spencer gave to her for her 21st birthday,” he was reported to had said. Prince Harry chose his mom’s famous engagement ring. “I remember when I held mummy’s hand when I was a small boy and that ring always hurt me because it was so big,” Paul cited young Harry saying.

The two brothers now only had those pieces of jewelry and the memories to remind them of their mother.

Years later, when Prince William met Kate Middleton and knew she was the one, Harry believed she should have their mom’s ring. He knew that piece of jewelry was way too precious to Princess Diana and felt it should be passed on to someone just as special as Kate. Paul said of that touching moment, “Harry said to him: ‘Wouldn’t it be fitting if she had mummy’s ring? Then one day that ring will be sat on the throne of England.'”

William was honored and proposed to Kate in 2010 with that ring that still has a sentimental value for both the brothers.

William asked Kate to be his wife during a trip to Kenya and made whole Britain happy. Seeing him starting his own family filled people’s hearts with joy. Everyone knew his mother was watching from above and smiling.

The Prince spoke of the ring and told ABC News, “Well as you may recognize now, it’s my mother’s engagement ring and it’s very special to me, as Kate is very special to me now as well. It was only right the two were put together.”

“It was my way of making sure mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement and the fact that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together,” the prince added.

Harry himself wanted to honor his late mother when he got engaged to actress Megan Markle and designed the engagement ring himself.

The yellow-gold ring has three diamonds. The central stone is from Botswana, a place Prince Harry keeps close to his heart, and the diamonds on the sides belong to Princess Diana and are part of her personal collection.

Meghan said she was very happy and very honored to be having a ring that will always remind her of her husband’s mother, whom she never met, but Harry loves deeply. “It’s so important to me to – to know that she’s a part of this with us,” Meghan was reported saying.

Asked about what his late mother would think of his choice, Harry said smiling, “Oh they’d be thick as thieves, without question. I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me, but then, as I said, would have probably been best friends – best friends with Meghan. So no it’s – you know it is days like – days like today when – when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news. But you know with the ring and with everything else that’s going on I’m sure she’s…”

Both Prince William and Prince Harry pay tribute to the People’s Princess whenever they have a chance.

2 Hillbillies observed woman choking on her food — here’s their reaction

This is a good joke and the kind you can think about later and start laughing or smiling about. ?♥️?

I would like to share it with you because it’s an absolutely hilarious one! Here’s what happened:

Two hillbillies had noticed a woman choking on her food by chance. But how they responded has the internet exploding in giggles!

As the two hillbillies walk into a local restaurant as they had decided to stop by for a bite to eat. While they dined, they talked about their moonshine operation.

All of a sudden, one woman sitting next to them (she had been eating a sandwich just right across their table) begun to cough. After one minute or so, she continued to do so. It became apparent that she was, actually in real distress.

One of the hillbillies became concerned, looked at her and asked: “Kin ya swallar?” The woman shook her head, signaling a no. Then he asks: “Kin ya breathe?” The woman has begun to turn blue in the face, but still somehow manages to shake her head once more.

The hillbilly then walked over to the woman, lifted up her dress, yanked down her drawers, and gave her right butt cheek a swift lick – with his tongue.

The woman became very shocked, so much so that she has a violent spasm, which caused her food obstruction to fly out of her mouth and out of her gullet. As she tries to breathe slowly and normally, the hillbilly walks away and back to his table.

His friend then told him: “Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’ but I never seed nobody done it.”

What do you think?

John Travolta opens up about the grief that followed after his wife’s passing: ‘Only your own journey can heal you’

By

John Travolta’s career spans many years over which he had played significant roles and has been part of iconic movies. He was, and probably still is, one of the Hollywood heartthrobs whose charm steals hearts.

Throughout his life, the Grease star suffered a number of tragedies which changed his entire life. Back in 2009, while on holiday in the Bahamas, his son Jett suffered a seizure and passed away. The actor and his wife Kelly Preston were heartbroken. Back then, he spoke of the loss to US Weekly and said: “It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in my life. The truth is, I didn’t know if I was going to make it.”

Unfortunately, in July 2020, Travolta lost his beloved wife Kelly. She died of breast cancer that she fought against privately, out of the eyes of the public. After her passing, the actor shared the devastating news on Instagram. “My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered.”

Travolta and Preston were considered one of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood.

And as much as we want to believe that time is the best healer, the truth is that when we lose someone, we can never be the exact same people we were when our life was whole.

In the newest edition of Esquire Mexico, Travolta opened up about the grieving process after Kelly’s passing.

“I have learned that mourning someone, mourning, is personal,” Travolta told Esquire Spain. “Mourning is individual and only your own journey can heal you.”

“This is different from someone else’s journey. The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is to allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours. That’s my experience.”

Not having his beloved wife by his side, Travolta decided to dedicate his time to his children, Ella, 21, and Ben, 10. Ella is following into her parents’ footsteps and is choosing a career in acting.

That he is a very devoted father is something we can all see, and his latest commercial for the Super Bawl shows him doing some of his legendary dance moves together with his daughter.

“It was magical, because there is no one in the world with whom I wanted to dance more than with my daughter Ella,” he told Esquire.

“It worked on so many levels! First, as a unique piece of entertainment that people enjoyed watching; second, it allowed me to introduce my daughter to the whole world on a huge stage, show her talent and beauty; and it also became a beautiful tribute to his mother.”

We love John Travolta so very much and we hope he will be able to eventually overcome the grief that came with his wife’s passing.

John Travolta says dancing with Princess Diana at the White House felt like a “fairytale”

John Travolta dancing with Princess Diana remains up until this day one of the most iconic moments of pop culture.

Although he has shown his incredible dancing skills in a number of movies, including Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Pulp Fiction, just to name a few, the actor had his most famous dance back in 1985 at the White House after he barely gathered courage to ask the Princess of the People for a dance.

During the White House state dinner hosted by then-President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Nancy approached the actor and told him that the Princess wanted to dance with him. We can only imagine the joy and excitement young Travolta felt at that particular moment when he was struggling to find the right words and invite Lady Di to the dance floor.

Last week, Travolta spoke to Esquire Mexico and recalled the iconic moment, comparing it to a fairytale.

As reported by People, the now 67-year-old actor said: “I didn’t think they’d ask me to dance with her. I had the great privilege and honor of doing so, and I thought, ‘There must be a reason for doing this and I better give it my all,'” he revealed. “That meant lead the dance well and make sure we had fun. That was the easy part, but just the fact of greeting Diana appropriately, being confident and asking her to dance was a complicated task.”

“Think of the setting. We were at the White House. It’s midnight. The stage is like a dream. I approach her, touch her elbow, invite her to dance,” he said. “She spins around and gives me that captivating smile, just a little sad, and accepts my invitation. And there we were, dancing together as if it were a fairytale.”

In 2016, during Good Morning America appearance, the Pulp Fiction star said that if he could bring anything back from the 80′, he would chose to have another dance with the royal.

Back in 2007, Travolta spoke to the Dutch TV station Één, saying: “I’ll never forget it,” he added. “I’m so honored that I was able to experience this, and I know for a fact that it was her highlight of being in the United States; it was her favorite moment. So I feel I made her life better, she made my life better, and I’m very sorry that she’s not here,” as per People.

Plumber took job at cancer-sick 91-year-old’s home, and his invoice is now going viral

If you feel like your faith in humanity has been lots, fear not, as 52-year-old plumber James Anderson is here to restore it.

This kind man with a heart of gold fixes things for vulnerable people without charging them any money.

He used to run a business that he shut down in order to create the non-for-profit company Depher.

Although he has been working for free for some time now, it wasn’t until recently that the story of his kindness spread across the country.

Namely, the bill he gave to a 91-year-old lady with acute-leukemia with total of zero dollars to charge was posted online by the woman’s daughter and vent viral.

On the bill, James, who is a father of five, wrote, “No charge for this lady under any circumstances. We will be available 24 hours to help her and keep her as comfortable as possible.”

“A lot of people close to me ask: why are you getting yourself in to debt? Why are you doing this?” he said.

“To me, debt is debt… I would rather owe some money to somebody and another person be alive and happy and safe.”

Since he started providing free or low-cost plumbing for those in need in 2017, his dept has risen to around $9,940. But he believes that it is nothing compared to the happiness of those he helps.

“It’s an ethos that’s in my heart and it will always stay there.”

Just recently, he decided to ask others to be part of his company so that more vulnerable citizens get the help they desperately need.

“I’ve spoken to quite a few engineers around the country and they’re all for it… it’s just getting the funding,” he said.

“I don’t want any person who is elderly and disabled in this country, in this day and age, to die or suffer because of a cold home or a lack of funding to repair the boiler.”

“It shouldn’t be happening – that number should be down to zero. Simple as that.”

Since his invoice went viral, many people became familiar with his work and James was able to raise $100,000 in donations. He’s no longer struggling to keep his non-profit afloat. 

James really is a very special person. Nowadays, it’s very rare to meet someone who puts the happiness of others above their own, but James is a proof that those people do exist and make this world a much better place.

Officer Rule from the North Bend Police Department went an extra mile for a 4-year-old autistic boy who was saddened because the peppers he was growing got stolen.

Sweet Johnny from Oregon was taking care of his pepper plants and made sure he was checking on them every single day, until one morning when he noticed that they were missing. Johnny felt devastated. He wanted his plants back and couldn’t imagine who could have possibly taken them from the garden.

Facebook/BaileePultz

His parents alerted the police of the incident and Johnny was sure the officers would go above and beyond to find his pepper plants. “Don’t worry, mommy and daddy, the cops will catch him, and they’ll bring my peppers back,” the sweet boy said.

Facebook/BaileePultz

Officer Rule didn’t discover who was the person behind the stealing, but that didn’t prevent him from putting a smile on little Johnny’s face. This incredible man brought Johnny even bigger pepper plant than the one he had.

Thanks to Officer Rule, everything in Johnny’s world seemed right again.
