Meghan Markle ‘terrified’ over big decision for Archie and Lilibet – they might blame her in the future, royal expert claims

Royal offspring have always captivated the attention of the media and the public. And no, this trend didn’t start with Prince George and his siblings or with the children of the Sussexes, but it has always been like that.

When William and Harry were children themselves, they were under the spotlight and the media followed their every move with great attention.

However, not all children born into royalty receive the same amount of attention, and this is not due to the lack of interest by the media for them, but because their parents made a decision to shield them from the public.

Following the Sussexes’ departure from the royal family and them stepping down from the royal duties and settling in sunny California, their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were removed from the public sphere. Of course, had their parents decided to continue living in Britain, this wouldn’t be the case.

However, while Harry and Meghan navigated their transition to a more private lifestyle, their numerous interviews and Harry’s book, Spare, have kept them in the spotlight.

Harry and Meghan have been adamant about protecting their children’s privacy, limiting access to photographs, but the public was still able to take a glimpse of the young prince and princess when the two were featured in the Netfix documentary about Harry and Meghan released in December 2022.

Back in 2023, the children, Lilibet and Archie, received royal titles and became a Prince and a Princess.

“The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace,” a spokesman for the couple said.

The Royal Family’s website was updated accordingly. Archie and Lilibet are now listed as Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. When it was updated, it was the first time their royal titles have been used publicly. 

Mirror reported that Harry and Meghan allegedly didn’t want to deprive their children of their rightful titles. Instead, they desire for Archie and Lilibet to have the autonomy to choose whether to retain or relinquish their titles as they grow older.

It’s anticipated that the Sussex children will primarily use their royal titles on rare occasions.

Many have been left puzzled as to why Archie and Lilibet got to receive the titles of Prince and Princess, but the explanation is in fact a very simple one.

In 1917, George V created the rules that are still in place today. He decided that the children of the sons of any Sovereign “shall have and at all times hold and enjoy the style title or attribute of Royal Highness with their titular dignity of Prince or Princess prefixed to their respective Christian names or with their other titles of honor.” So, when the Queen passed and King Charles became the monarch, Archie and Lilibet became eligible for their own royal titles. 

“It wasn’t clear if they would use them or not since Harry and Meghan have left the family as working royals and headed to the States,” TalkTV Royal Editor Sarah Hewson told Sky. “We understand discussions took place after the Queen’s funeral and it has been agreed that they will be known formally as prince and princess – although Harry and Meghan won’t be using it in everyday life.”

According to royal author Angela Levin, “It will take a long time for little Lilibet to realize the extent of the burden her parents have placed on her young shoulders.”

She argued that by giving their daughter a princess title, Harry and Meghan have now “glued her to the British Royal Family,” the same establishment they have been critical of during the recent years.

“Why on earth would you want your daughter to experience such anguish?” the royal expert said. “Little girls obviously love being a princess at parties, but if Lilibet is the only one in the class who is a real princess, it could lead to jealousy that could easily be avoided,” Levin concluded.

Since Harry and Meghan have only visited Britain during few occasions since stepping down from their royal duties, most Britons believe their children don’t deserve the royal titles. According to a YouGov poll published in March 2023, 51% of respondents said Archie and Lilibet shouldn’t have royal titles, while 25% thought they should.

In a matter of weeks, it’s speculated that Harry and Meghan will visit London to attend the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

According to reports, they intended to bring their children along, and there have even been assertions that William and Kate have invited them to bring their children, partly to allow their UK cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to spend time together.

Meghan, however, was said to have rejected the offer because she’s afraid for her children’s safety.

“There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK,” royal expert and author Tom Quinn told the Mirror in early April.

“William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far.”

A source told OK! Magazine that Meghan fears for her children’s safety if returning.

“It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe. The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone,” the source said.

Prince Harry, who is an avid enthusiast of polo, has been frequently seen engaging in polo matches at the Santa Barbara Polo Club, as well as participating in numerous charity polo events. Just last weekend, he showcased his skills by playing on the Royal Salute Sentebale Team during a charity polo match in Wellington, Florida.

One of his close friend, Nacho Figueras, who also competed in the polo match, shared his aspirations for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to one day follow in their father’s footsteps and take up polo.

“I really hope so, I hope that Archie and Lili get to love horses as much as he does,” Figueras told Hello!

“There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s great for the inside of a human. Hopefully, that love and passion will be transmitted. I know my kids love it. and they love to play. It would be a dream that one day we all get to play polo together.”

Since they moved to the States, Harry and Meghan’s life changed a great deal compared to the life they led in Britain. With their decision to leave Harry’s family behind, their children were left with no close relatives close by. This decision also affected their children’s future.

Royal expert Tom Quinn now claims that Meghan fears that both Archie and Lilibet will “blame her for depriving them” of the chance of becoming working royals.

“On the other hand, we should always remember that phrase – ‘never say never,’ because it will come back to haunt you when you change your mind, especially if you are a public figure like Meghan,” Quinn told the Mirror.

“A friend of the couple – one of Meghan’s few aristocratic friends from her time in the UK – told me Meghan does miss some aspects of life in the UK and worries that her children will blame her if they never get to see their cousins and feel as adults that they have been deprived of what might have been a fun and meaningful existence in the UK as working royals.”

Only time will tell if Archie and Lilibet harbor any inclination towards royal life, a path their parents chose to diverge from.

Goldie Hawn reveals real reason why she never married Kurt Russell: Inside their 41-year love story

When we speak of Hollywood lovebirds who prove wrong the theory that celebs don’t stay together for long, the first couple that comes to mind are Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. They have been together for many years and both believe that the key to long lasting relationship is that they have never tied the knot.

“We have done just perfectly without marrying. I already feel devoted, and isn’t that what marriage is supposed to do?” Goldie told Woman’s Day in 2007.

Kurt and Goldie first met on the set of The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1966. Back then, however, it seemed there was no chemistry between them, probably because of the fact that Goldie was 21 and Kurt was still a teenager. From that movie on, both went on to have extremely successful careers.

“I thought he was adorable, but he was much too young,” Goldie said. “Then, years later we met up again, and I remembered that I liked him very much when I first met him. We both said we would never go out with another actor so it just shows you never can tell.”

Years later, during the filming of Swing Shift together, they both knew that was it. They were simply meant for each other.

This time, the charming and handsome Russell tried to impress Hawn with the pick-up line: “Man, you’ve got a great figure.”

“I was severely hungover and I didn’t know Goldie at all outside of having worked with her those many years before,” Russell said in a 2017 interview with Conan O’Brien.

“I just didn’t have in my mind what I was going to see, and she had a great body. So the first thing that came out was, ‘Man, you’ve got a great figure.’ It came out quickly and it could’ve gone wrong, and she said, ‘Why thank you.’”

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix

At the time, Goldie had two children from her marriage with Bill Hudson. Her son Oliver was born in 1976, and her daughter Kate was born in 1979.

When they celebrated their 40th anniversary together, Kurt told People, “For people like us, the marriage certificate wasn’t going to create anything that otherwise we wouldn’t have,” adding “I don’t know – 40 years isn’t enough to finally say, ‘Well I guess…’”

Goldie added: “Our children got married … Oliver’s very happily married and Wyatt’s very happily married. Katie got married once and that didn’t work, and she’s with this most amazing human and I don’t know if she’ll marry again. The point is that we all tried marriage and sometimes marriage doesn’t work.

“It’s not about the marriage. It’s about the people and the relationship, and the will to stay together. And that’s a big one because if you want it, you can have it. You’ve got to give things up, but the joy and the excitement of being together and touching the toes of somebody at night is really a nice feeling.”

Today, Goldie and Kurt are not only proud parents of their children they have from previous relationships, but proud grandparents too. They have six grandchildren and love spending time with them and spoiling them. In fact, the couple shares plenty of photos of the little ones and each of them shows just how much love these two have for their grandchildren.

Their grandchildren don’t call them grandma and grandpa but Gogo and Gogi, and we believe that’s very sweet and special.

Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson, Goldie’s children, both acknowledged Russel as the father figure in their life and even consider him a real dad.

“He was around when [my brother, Oliver Hudson, and I] were young, it sort of teetered out,” famous actress Kate Hudson told Closer Weekly, speaking about her estranged father. Further, she pointed to him as the reason why the relationships in her own life were as they were. “I think that’s like the age-old psychological core issue for any situation. Anybody who has had an experience with a parent that is absent, it’s going to manifest.”

Russell, unlike Bill, has always been there for Goldie’s children whom he considers his own, and Kate and Oliver never miss the chance to thank him for everything he has done for them over the years.

Besides being very much in love, Goldie and Russel decided not to marry and speaking with Cosmopolitan Magazine, as quoted by the Associated Press, back in 1986, Goldie explained the reason behind this decision saying that for her marriage is “ridiculous.”

“We’re very happy,” she said, expecting her third child at the time.

“The child is getting the name Hawn Russell. The kids are happy, and Kurt brought me a beautiful ring to symbolize our love.”

“Actually, owning a home, splitting down the middle – none of that really matters. You have to negate it and move on,” she added. “Otherwise, what are you investing in? Concepts, but concepts are broken with the snap of a finger. That’s why I think marriage is ridiculous.”

What we like about these two is that they never miss a chance to remind one another why they love each other so much. For her 60th birthday, Kurt organized a family trip to Tahiti.

“It’s always so much fun when we all meet up. We are very, very close and see each other as often as we can,” Goldie told the site Now To Love.

When they received their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Goldie and Kurt shared a passionate kiss in front of their stars and the photo made headlines all for the right reasons.

Even experts agree that these two share a special form of love.

“Goldie and Kurt walk in unison which tells us that they are also in sync with one another on an emotional level,” said body expert Karen Donaldson.

Speaking of their photos in which they always hold hands, she added, “[It] tells us that they are affectionate towards each other. Plus, it helps that Kurt can’t keep his eyes off Goldie—a sign that he adores her.”

Now, Goldie revealed something more about their relationship. Speaking to People, she said that Russell compliments her very often.

“The other night we were going to go have dinner. He looks at me and goes, ‘You’re unbelievable,’” she revealed. “He said ‘I cannot believe how [beautiful] you look.’ He really appreciates that. It is really good combination,” she added.

Goldie’s daughter, actress Kate Hudson admires her mother’s relationship and describes it as “the goal.”

“You and Pa have been together for so long and sometimes I look at it and I’m like, How do you guys do it?’” she told People. “I’m still working on that.”

I don’t think there is a more beautiful love story in Hollywood than that of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

Homeless couple receives backlash for saying employment is not for them

Unconventional life choices are not uncommon, but the ones involving homelessness generate debate and criticism. While some might see the decision to live in a tent as a rejection of societal norms, others may view it as a valid expression of autonomy and self-sufficiency.

The reasons why individuals or couples might choose to live in a tent instead of pursuing traditional work or housing can be various. It could be due to economic circumstances, personal preferences, a desire for freedom from societal expectations, or even a commitment to environmental sustainability.

A couple documenting their tent life have stirred controversy and garnered criticism from various quarters. “Homelessness isn’t wrong if you’re looking at it from our perspective,” they say.

Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna, residents of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA, attracted attention when they started advocating for using the term “houselessness” instead of “homelessness.” In a video they shared from their tent, they claimed that “houselessness is flex” and emphasized the survival skills they’ve developed through their non-traditional living arrangements.

Their perspective has sparked debate among their 178,000 TikTok followers who questioned their advocacy for street living.

@fullestness Yes it is #fyp #fullestness #houseless #houselessnothomeless #homeless #tent #tentlife #livingoutside #offgrid ♬ original sound – Fullest

While some of their followers supported their lifestyle, others expressed their doubts about it.

Amid the heated discussion, the couple started a GoFundMe page to help them sustain their minimalist lifestyle. So far, they’ve raised just $162 of their $10,000 goal which they plan on using in order to reach financial stability and be able to spend more time with Leland’s son.

How the couple ended up being homeless remains unclear. However, while older videos posted on Leland’s social media accounts show him holding jobs at various locations and even residing in a house, his recent statements suggest his and his partner’s reluctance to pursue conventional employment.

Apparently, they are in no hurry of landing regular jobs because they are “too smart for that.”

Doubts have been raised by critics regarding the genuineness of this couple’s decisions, implying that their lifestyle is more about avoiding responsibilities rather than genuinely choosing homelessness.

Just weeks after his challenging divorce, 44-year-old Jason Momoa is reportedly ‘pleading’ for a date with a famous star

Two years after announcing their separation, Jason Momoa, the star of Aquaman and Game of Thrones, and his wife of 18 years Lisa Bonet divorced.

As per marriage dissolution papers obtained by The Times, citing “irreconcilable differences,” Bonet listed their date of separation as October 7, 2020, coinciding with their third wedding anniversary and approximately 15 years since they first became a couple. The couple tied the knot in October 2017.

The two settled for joint custody of their two children — Lola Iolani Momoa, 16, and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, 15.

The obtained documents stated that neither party is seeking financial support and that they have reached an agreement on the division of their assets.

Now that he’s officially single, rumors are that Momoa might be directing his attention towards one of the most renowned Hollywood stars, Demi Moore.

It was reported by the Daily Mail that when Momoa met Moore, he was totally smitten.

Allegedly, he’s been sending her text messages ever since they met at a screening of the documentary Common Ground in Beverly Hills on January 18th.

“After they chatted, Jason snagged her number from a mutual friend, and he’s been laying it on thick, telling her she’s the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen,” a source said, as per Radar Online.

“He’s been texting her, saying he hopes she has a day as beautiful as she is,” the insider added.

“It’s super cheesy, but Demi’s loving it.”

“He’s been begging her for a date and even calling pals who know her, asking them to put in a good word for him,” said the source.

“The idea of hooking up with Demi is a huge fantasy for Jason. He thinks they would make a great match and says Demi could teach him a lot.”

However, Moore seems to be playing cool, but the source says that “if he keeps this up it’s only a matter of time before she’ll crack!”

Ever since Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis, Moore is spending quite a lot of time with her ex-husband and helps his current wife Emma taking care of him.

As of Momoa, following his split with Bonet, he’s been living in his van and shares glimpses of his “van life” on social media.

Time will tell if Momoa and Moore would ever be a couple.

My pregnant wife started returning home late at night – I lost control when I found out the reason

A man took to Reddit to share a story and seek advice from the fellow Redditors.

He started by stating that his wife, who was very punctual in returning home from work, began arriving late without any specific explanation. Her untypical behavior raised concerns.

One night, upon arrival home, OP realized his wife was still at work so he decided to call her. During that late-night call, she attempted to maintain a cheerful facade, claiming she had plenty of work unfinished. However, her voice betrayed a subtle tremble, prompting further unease.

Shutterstock

As staying out at work late became practice, OP’s concerns grew bigger with each passing day. One evening, while she sought a glass of water in the living room, OP stumbled upon his wife quietly sobbing. Witnessing her distress, especially given her being seven months pregnant, stirred deep sympathy. He tried to attribute her emotional state to her pregnancy hormones, but deep down, he knew there was more to the story that he assumed.

Shutterstock

Driven by a growing sense of apprehension, he decided to delve deeper into the mystery of his wife’s late nights. But the pieces of the puzzle only started to fall into place after he went through some of the messages his wife exchanged with her co-workers.

What he discovered was not an affair, but a challenge his wife was struggling with at work.

Sadly, he discovered that she was a victim of bullying. Her colleagues delegated their workload onto her to free up their evenings and she drowned in tasks until late into the night.

Pexels

The messages from her colleagues were cruel beyond words. They mocked her for her appearance and her capabilities. As he went through those messages, each of the words felt like a dagger and he couldn’t understand how she could fight this all by herself.

He didn’t say anything, but wanted to do something to help her. One day, he left early from work and headed to her workplace. He wanted to take her to dinner and take her away from that toxic environment, if only for an evening.

As he arrived at her office, OP came face to face with his wife’s tormentors. His sudden presence caught them off guard, his lawyer’s uniform and ID badge serving as silent testament to his determination and readiness to protect his wife at any cost.

Pexels

The confrontation was brief yet impactful. OP made sure his presence sent a message that if needed, he would pursue legal actions against them.

The fear in their eyes was palpable, and while he never divulged the details of the encounter to his wife, the effect on her was immediate. She started arriving home earlier, her demeanor lifted, and her smile returned.

In the days that followed, she was even more cheerful than ever.

Pexels

But OP only understood the depth of her scars from the bullying she experienced for so long after he noticed she was having nightmares.

Over time, she made the decision to go to therapy which helped her with her past struggles and prepared her for her new life as a mom to a beautiful daughter.

Pexels

OP said he hoped this new beginning would help his wife realize that she should finally leave that toxic workplace.

Shutterstock

Workplace bullying often manifests in subtle ways which can be equally harmful as more obvious forms of cruelty. It involves ongoing actions like undermining, exclusion, or disparaging comments that gradually erode an individual’s confidence and sense of fitting in. This behavior fosters a toxic atmosphere where victims may feel incapable of speaking out or finding assistance, deepening their isolation. It’s vital to identify and confront these hidden types of bullying to cultivate a workplace culture that is both healthy and respectful.

Three bulls found out that the rancher was bringing another bull

Jokes are a valuable tool for fostering connections, relieving stress, and adding joy to life. They can lighten the mood in social situations and bring laughter and can serve as ice-breakers.

Humor is a great stress reliever that triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Laughing at a joke can help alleviate tension and promote relaxation.

Having all this in mind, we bring you one of the best jokes we’ve stumbled upon recently.

Read it below.

The rancher brought another bull into the property, and three of his bulls noticed.

Helena Lopes/ Pexels

First Bull: “I have been here for five years. I’m not feeding any of my 100 cows to this new bull.”

Second Bull: “I’ve earned the privilege to fifty cows after three years here. I am keeping every cow I own.”

Third Bull: “You people have only allowed me to have 10 cows so far in the year that I’ve been here. Even if I’m not as big as you guys, I’m still going to keep all ten of my cows.”

At that moment, they observe the largest bull they have ever seen being transported by an 18-wheeler in the pasture.

His weight of 4,700 pounds puts stress on the steel ramp with every step.

The first bull: “I think I can spare a few cows for our new friend.”

Second Bull: “To be honest, I have too many cows to look after. I have a few extra to spare. I’m not searching for a fight, for sure.”

The third bull, who is snorting and shaking his horns, is pawing the ground when they turn to face him.

The first bull: “Son, don’t be foolish, let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it.”

Third Bull: “Hell, all my cows are his to have. Just making sure he understands that I’m a bull!”

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend speaks out with disturbing allegations – ‘everyone has a breaking point’

Kayla Nicole and NFL star Travis Kelce dated on and off from 2017 to 2022, and although it looks like their relationship is long forgotten by many, Kelce’s current girlfriend’s fans are after Nicole for no particular reason.

The news of Kelce’s relationship with the 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift has caught the world by storm. The couple’s blossoming relationship has remained in the public eye for months now, and Swift was seen cheering him on during some of his games, including this year’s Super Bowl final which saw the Kansas City Chiefs win against the San Francisco 49ers.

Following the game, the couple was seen cuddling and kissing after Kelce lifted the Lombardi Trophy.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – FEBRUARY 11: Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift react as they see Mecole Hardman Jr. #12 of the Kansas City Chiefs following the NFL Super Bowl 58 football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

However, ever since Kelce and Swift started dating, people, especially the music star’s fans, became interested in Kelce’s ex’s private life. But since it’s not uncommon for people in the public eye to face scrutiny and comments from the media and fans, even if they’re not directly involved in a situation, Nicole decided to open up of the pressure she faces from random people online.

A few hours after Taylor Swift released her highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, Nicole took to X to say she was being subjected to constant trolling and “vitriol” and was fed up.

 “I’m unproblematic. Mind my business. Never respond to the constant vitriol. Solid as they come & don’t expect a pat on the back for it either.”

She went on, “Just know everyone has a breaking point & would love for ‘yall’ (because you know exactly who you are) to leave me alone.”

In another tweet posted Thursday, Nicole wrote, “There’s just no way I can fully digest all these new albums. I’m still on Cowboy Carter. overstimulated.com.” This draw the anger of some Swifties, who found this comment to be addressed to Swift. “Taylor doesn’t need your streams,” one fan commented on Nicole’s tweet.

Back in October 2023, when Kelce and Swift made their relationship public, Nicole shared her perspective in an open letter showing strength and vulnerability and acknowledging the challenges she faced.

Shutterstock

Talking about the “embarrassment” and “backlash” that has come her way, she wrote, “Even though sometimes I, too, ask, ‘Why me?’ I’m reminded that this isn’t just about me,” she said. “My truth, trauma, and vulnerability is a relatable part of the human experience. I know I’m not alone, and I want to make sure that you know that you’re not either.”

Before posting the letter, Nicole said, “it’s always been really important for me to use my platform not to create division but to elevate and unite women, Black women specifically.”

My wife disowned her parents after our son’s birth – 15 years later, she told me the shocking truth

There are times in life when we are at our best, but in the next moment things take an unlike turn no can ever predict.

The story a man named Henry shared resembles a movie plot. The shocking turn of events changed his family forever in ways he could never expect.

As he explained in his post, following the birth of their son, his wife Candice decided to cut ties with her parents. Although he could never understand the reasons behind this drastic decision, he decided to respect her wishes.

However, over time, he felt torn between his wife and his in-laws who loved their grandson Lucas very much. They always showered him with gifts and attention, and this made it even more difficult for him to understand why his wife got estranged from her parents who seemed to be the perfect grandparents.

Stannah International

Intrigued, he decided to learn the truth no matter the cost.

One day, he confronted his wife and asked her why she didn’t want to see her parents. It was unacceptable that she cut all ties with them all of a sudden. Candice refused to speak about it, but Henry was determined and he even threatened to leave her if she didn’t tell him the truth.

At that moment, Candice broke down in tears and it felt like her entire world collapsed. What she had to stay left Henry in a state of shock. He couldn’t even move as he tried to process his wife’s words.

Candice revealed to him that her parents, who were rich and influential people, wanted a grandson whom they would leave their inheritance to, so when Candice gave birth to a baby girl, they forced one of the nurses at the hospital to switch the girl with a baby boy.

Realizing that Lucas wasn’t their biological son shattered Henry’s heart into a million pieces. At the same time, he wondered where his biological child was and what happened to her.

He couldn’t believe that Candice lived with that secret for so long.

Candice told him that the nurse who helped do the crime regretted her decision and wanted to reveal the truth, but her parents got her fired. All she could do was leave a handwritten note revealing the dark secret.

The next step was finding their daughter, Darcy. It wasn’t an easy thing to do, but they eventually tracked the child down and reunited with her. Sadly, the process of taking her back had been a complex one and required plenty of time and long legal battles.

Henry and Candice shared the truth with Lucas and Darcy and both of them accepted it pretty well. The two siblings get along and support each other, and Lucas shows resilience and gratitude for being part of a unique story. 

As of Candice’s parents, the family decided not to be close with them as they once were.

Candice had carried the burden of the secret for too long, but she only did that for Lucas.

This truly is an extraordinary story, don’t you think so?

Heartbroken Gary Sinise mourning sudden death of son, 33

Forrest Gump star Gary Sinise shared the heartbreaking news of his son’s passing on the Gary Sinise Foundation‘s website and his Instagram page, revealing that the 33-year-old McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise lost his battle to cancer.

Mac was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer known as Chordoma on August 8, 2018, just three months after his mother was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.

However, as his mother Moira’s treatment was successful, Mac’s condition only worsened over time, gradually robbing him of his mobility.

Gary expressed his immense grief for the loss of his loving son.

“Like any family experiencing such a loss, we are heartbroken and have been managing as best we can. As parents, it is so difficult losing a child. My heart goes out to all who have suffered a similar loss, and to anyone who has lost a loved one. We’ve all experienced it in some way. Over the years I have met so many families of our fallen heroes. It’s heartbreaking, and it’s just damn hard,” the heartbroken actor wrote.

“Our family’s cancer fight lasted for 5 ½ years, and it became more and more challenging as time went on. While our hearts ache at missing him, we are comforted in knowing that Mac is no longer struggling, and inspired and moved by how he managed it. He fought an uphill battle against a cancer that has no cure, but he never quit trying.”

A number of celebrities posted messages of support for Gary and his family on Instagram.

“We are so sorry Gary. You & your family are deeply loved by so many,” wrote Angie Harmon. “We are all praying for you. Love you so very much.”

Alyssa Milano, meanwhile, posted: “I’m so sorry, Gary. I’m praying for your family. And sending you love and strength.”

Mac’s life was a fulfilling one. He joined the Gary Sinise Foundation as an assistant manager of education and outreach and pursued his passion for music until the very end. He performed alongside his father in the Lt. Dan Band as a drummer.

Since his diagnosis, Mac had undergone five spine surgeries and was left paralyzed from his waist down, but he never stopped doing what he loved; making music. Just before his passing, he had completed work on an album Resurrection & Revival.

Mac studied songwriting and composition at the University of Southern California from where he graduated.

Gary said that the family is ensuring Mac’s album, Mac Sinise: Resurrection and Revival, is released and pressed on vinyl.

Mac was laid to rest on January 5.

We are so sorry for Gary Sinise loss. Our thoughts and prayers go to him and his family during this time of grief.

12 individuals who discovered a brutal truth that shook their reality

When it happens that we discover a hidden truth or unravel the genuine reason behind a puzzling memory, our world can turn upside down. These revelations, although related to something that took months or even years ago, can have a strong impact on our presence and how we start to perceive reality. This experience can easily mess up with our psyche and make us question everything.

At best, they can teach us life lessons and make us better individuals.

Below are twelve incredible stories shared by people on Reddit.

1. One of my old schoolmates lived with his mother in a single-parent household. The father wasn’t around because he was in a very peripatetic line of work and didn’t come home too often.
Well, that was the official story. The actual truth, as known by parents and the school, was a long prison sentence for some kind of serious fraud, embezzlement, false accounting, etc., and the mother put her family back under her maiden name, so nobody would make the connection.

2. My best friend and his wife had been trying for years to have a second child, with no luck. Then one day, he found out his wife didn’t want a second child and had been secretly taking birth control. © squirrel-phone / Reddit

3. My father’s ex-wife, with whom we lived for seven years (I was 14 when they separated), stole my father’s key (they separated and tried to have a relationship but lived apart) and had it for half a year. Apparently, she used to enter the apartment when we weren’t home or when we were sleeping. We found out one night when dad couldn’t sleep and caught her unlocking the door. © blackeyedb***h / Reddit

4. I found out that my dad still takes his ex-girlfriend (from when he was 16–22 years old) out to dinner when he travels to his hometown to visit his dad. He still calls her Junebug, his pet name from when they dated… And he has never told my mom. © doggonfreshmemes*** / Reddit

5. I found out my grandfather had an affair, which produced a kid, while my grandmother was pregnant back in 1926. Also, one of my brothers has two kids no one else knows about.
Everyone knows of the six kids he has now (two with his ex, two with his wife, and her two from a previous marriage). No one knows there are two more that live in our same town, somewhere. I know of them, but not who they are or who their mother is. © TeutonicTwit / Reddit

6. When my grandma was in her 90s, she started showing early signs of dementia. One day, I was just hanging out with her, and then she randomly told me that her husband wasn’t related to his mom. Apparently, his mom was seeking for a son in China, and someone in the village was selling their son for a bag of rice… © Fukuzai / Reddit

7. I found out my mom had an affair with our downstairs neighbor while they were both married. The neighbor is around 20 years her senior as well. © pumpkinrum / Reddit

8. I’m in my early 20s, and I found out earlier this year that I have a half-brother who is 10 years older than me. My mom put him up for adoption when he was born because of her parents.
When I was young, she said that she tried to get in contact with him, but his adoptive parents wanted nothing to do with her. It kind of slipped out when my dad had a little too much to drink, and my mom was extremely upset. I don’t think she ever would have told me. I might even be an aunt at this point! © D***hNips93 / Reddit

9. Just a few weeks back, I found out from my mom that I had an aborted sibling and was almost aborted myself. My dad had told her to, and she felt incredible guilt over it and couldn’t do it again to me. © ColdSweeter / Reddit

10. I found out while my parents were married that my dad had a girlfriend after finding a Valentine’s Day card for him from his then-girlfriend, now-wife. A few years later, I found out via her Facebook that they were engaged (having never met her), and then I found out via my aunt’s Facebook that they were married, still without her existence being acknowledged to me by my dad. © alexthenotadragqueen / Reddit

11. My now ex, it happened last month, faked having cancer for a year… there are a lot of details I won’t get into, but she made me and all my friends believe she was close to dying for a while… I’m still getting over it. © Organiczygote / Reddit

12. I went to an international school in Asia that attracted a lot of kids with very wealthy parents, most of whom would get dropped off by their chauffeur in a brand-new Mercedes. I had a scholarship, and we were working class. I never understood why my mom would take me to school at 6 am before anyone else was even there and park the car miles away behind this big tree. She’d just tell me it was good to exercise before school. Years later, I found out she was embarrassed about our little Mitsubishi and didn’t want the other kids to pick on me if they saw we were pretty poor in comparison. © jessiehailey /

‘It can never be quite the same…’: Royal expert reveals sad detail about Kate Middleton & Camilla’s relationship

It’s only been a couple of months since the start of the year, yet there are plenty of signs that it would be a tumultuous one for the royal family when it comes to working data. According to statistics, the 11 working royals have carried out around 32 percent fewer royal engagements in January and February of this year compared to the same period the previous year.

The reason for this can be partly attributed to the temporary decrease in the number of senior working royals, including Catherine, Princess of Wales, and King Charles, who are both receiving treatments after being diagnosed with cancer.

During this challenging period, Queen Camilla has taken on significant responsibilities, including those typically fulfilled by her husband.

Over the years, Queen Camilla has become a beloved member of the family. Of course, this wasn’t always the case. In fact, when the public learned of her affair with then-prince Charles, she was hated by many and she was called names. It was said that she was afraid to get out of the house because she was scared for her safety.

Fast forward to this day, Camilla is someone who’s holding the family together, and her role within the Firm is very much appreciated.

Camilla is someone who has experienced the rage of the public and has gone through scrutiny, and being the person she is, she didn’t want Kate to go through anything similar when she was to marry Prince William.

Namely, Camilla was said to have been very welcoming towards Kate from the moment the two met.

When Kate Middleton joined the royal family, Camilla made efforts to foster a relationship with her. Similar efforts were made with Prince William and Harry, although things didn’t turn out for the best with the Duke. Harry’s rift with the royals has left him with few allies within the family.

Prior to the 2011 wedding of the now Prince and Princess of Wales, the Daily Mail reported that Camilla extended an invitation to Kate, her sister Pippa, and her daughter, Laura Lopes, for lunch.

“They were all getting on very well and they clearly hadn’t asked for an out-of-the-way table and nor did they attempt to lower their voices,” a person who overheard their conversation told the Daily Mail. “There was one moment which was clearly meant to be amusing when Kate said, ‘What happens if William doesn’t turn up?’”

Camilla reportedly presented Kate Middleton with a deeply personal gift for her wedding: a bracelet featuring engraved letters “Cs” on either side of the charm. It’s widely speculated that these letters represent “Catherine” and “Camilla.”

According to Yahoo, Kate has been seen wearing this bracelet during numerous occasions, particularly during appearances at the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

Before her marriage to Prince William, Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla developed a close friendship. As a commoner marrying into the royal family and eventually becoming the consort of a future king, Kate, who knew that her marriage would bring significant changes to her life, had much to learn about royal life.

In his royal biography, Battle of Brothers, author Robert Lacey stated that Kate struggled to take advice from her stepmother-in-law. “Camilla had confided to Kate the secret of hanging on to a busy prince: fit your timetable – well, basically your whole life – around his,” Lacey wrote in Battle of Brothers.

However, no matter how close they were and still are, royal experts claimed that tensions between Kate and Camilla built up during the coronation last year.

At first glance, the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla seemed a picture perfect one, but after experts analyzed the footage of the historical day, one thing caught their attention and it involves Camilla and Kate Middleton.

For the Britons, it’s all about tradition, and Camilla’s grandchildren being given such significant roles, that of Pages of Honor, just like Prince George, wasn’t received nicely by part of the fans and it seems that Kate Middleton was one of them.

Namely, a number of people from Camilla’s family were in attendance, and that included her former husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, as well as her son, Tom Parker Bowles and her daughter Laura Lopes, along with several of her grandchildren. Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot, was there with a friend, the Marchioness of Lansdowne. Overall, there were twenty people from Camilla’s side of the family at the Westminster Abby, which according to ABC royal reporter Victoria Murphy marked a new step for them.

“Camilla’s family are very much front and centre at this event, and that is interesting as this is a state occasion, and they are usually totally private,” she said. “Camilla’s family being so involved and visible does send, I think, a message about just how important she is to Charles’ reign and very much reminds us that this is their Coronation, not just his.”

On the other hand, Kate had four family members supporting her in Westminster Abbey; sister Pippa Middleton, brother James Middleton, and parents Carole and Michael Middleton.

This allegedly angered the Princess of Wales and she wasn’t afraid to show her dissatisfaction by ‘not moving a limb’ when Camilla left the Abbey and the rest of the guests took a bow.

“Camilla bought twenty Parker Bowles’ to the coronation, and there were four Middleton’s,” royal expert Tom Bower TV told host Dan Wooton.

“And what was even more noticeable was at the Windsor concert the following day, William makes no reference to Queen Camilla. So there is a tension there.”

The biographer then claimed the tension was a “dangerous position for Charles to be in,” especially after an “exhausted” Queen Camilla “disappeared” from the public eye as Kate was “behaving like the Queen.”

“If you look at the Coronation footage, as the King and Queen leave the thrones and head for the exit of Westminster Abbey, you’ll see that everyone bows and curtsies to the King and no one moves a limb, a muscle when Camilla passes,” the royal expert said.

“And that’s because they were angry with her. No-one moves. Kate and William were angry too. That anger went right through that small part of the congregation by the throne at the centre of Westminster Abbey. And in that moment it was absolutely noticeable to those people who had been excluded that nobody – let alone Kate – curtsied to Queen Camilla.”

Everyone who has seen the coronation has to agree that Camilla’s grandchildren did greatly as Pages of Honor, but many are convinced that the Queen’s daughter’s twin sons being given that significant roles broke the tradition British people swear by.

Kinsey Schofield, another royal expert, is among those who believe that the Queen took a step too far away from royal tradition.

Despite this, the relationship between Kate and Camilla has only grown stronger over the years.

BBC’s former royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that this relationship would have been even more well built had Camilla been Charles’ first wife.

“The two women looked at ease with one another; united in the solemnity of it all,” Bond said about Camilla and Kate’s appearance next to each other for the National Service of Remembrance, held at the Cenotaph. “Camilla is the only mother-in-law Kate will ever have, but it can never be quite the same when it’s a second marriage.

Mark Cuthbert/UK Press via Getty Images

“I think Camilla will always feel one step removed from being a real mother-in-law to Kate – but they do appear to have a strong relationship, and, quite frankly, what’s not to like about one another?” the royal expert told OK! Magazine.

“I’m sure Kate must have been watching Camilla’s metamorphosis from commoner to queen with particular interest and I think it must be reassuring for them both. What a unique relationship it must be there is literally no-one else for Catherine to turn to who has direct experience of the role that will one day be hers.”

We are glad the Kate and Camilla are getting along so well.

My future-wife’s bridesmaid sent me this picture of my wife and I cancelled the wedding

Jake and his soon-to-be wife, Lily, were looking forward to their big day. However, as their wedding day approached, a mix of excitement and nerves filled their hearts. Just the thought of their life together made them the happiest couple on Earth. Sharing this special day when they finally say “I do” to one another with their loved ones only made the dose of excitement grow bigger.

However, without him being aware of it, a malicious scheme orchestrated by Lily’s best friend and bridesmaid, Megan, was unfolding behind Jack’s back. Apparently, Meghan had feelings for Jake and she couldn’t stand the fact of him and Lily being happy together. Consumed by jealousy, she tried to disrupt their union by doing something she believed would bring them bad luck.

Pexels

A week prior to the wedding, Megan devised a plan to overshadow their special day by deliberately sending Jake a photo of Lily in her wedding dress, aiming to sow seeds of superstition. This photo served as a message of impending bad luck if they decided to proceed with the marriage. Jake was stunned and disturbed by the unexpected image, he was aware that Meghan had ill intentions, but since she was Lily;s best friend since childhood, he couldn’t tell Lily anything.

Burdened by the sense of impending catastrophe, Jake made the agonizing choice to call off the wedding, fearing the potential fallout of defying the superstition Megan had implanted. Lily, utterly devastated, struggled to grasp why Jake would abruptly cancel their plans.

Months passed, and the once inseparable trio of Lily, Jake, and Megan drifted apart, their relationship crumbling under the weight of mistrust and hurt.

Pexels

However, over time, Jake and Lily got close again. The two decided to give their relationship another try and focus on healing from the emotional wreckage the cancellation of their wedding brought. Over a year later, the two emerged even stronger and more in love than ever.

This time, they opted for a more intimate wedding ceremony that included only their families and a couple of closest friends, free from the burdens of superstition and manipulative influences.

Meghan was not part of that wedding ceremony because she was no longer part of their lives. Instead, Jake and Lily decided to surround themselves with those who genuinely wished them well.

The child, only 13 years old, had terrible marks on her neck

The potential drawbacks of “overcharging” our phones, which refers to leaving them plugged in after they’ve reached full battery capacity, can potentially reduce the effectiveness of the battery over time. But what about the impact on the charger itself? The charger being constantly plugged into the wall outlet, whether it’s behind the bed or next to the sofa, could be costing us money or posing a safety hazard.

Pexels

There have been plenty of stories of phones bursting into flames or exploding during the charging process. In addition to using an authentic charger, it’s crucial to ensure that nothing covers your phone while it charges, allowing the heat generated to dissipate safely.

Unfortunately, using the phone while charging it can pose danger to the user, just like in the case of a 13-year-old girl from the Satates.

It happened that the girl’s mother noticed strange red marks on her daughter’s neck after she complained she was experiencing pain.

The burns were quite serious so her mom took her to the doctor’s. Once at the hospital, it was determined that she got them while talking to a friend with her phone plugged into a wall charger. The presence of a metal necklace led to an electric arc, resulting in the burns.

The mom is now sharing her daughter’s story in order to prevent others from getting burned the way her daughter did.

16-year-old exposed her dad is cheating on mom in front of whole family

Dysfunctional families affect the quality of life of each of the members, especially the children. These troubled relationships cause chronic feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness, as well as attachment issues.

The teenager who shared her story on Reddit some time ago comes from such a family where the father is basically absent from his children’s lives despite living under one roof with them.

She took to the Reddit thread AITA to explain that it was her mother who took care of her and her siblings while the father wasn’t really involved in their upbringing.

One day, as he got home and left his mobile phone on the table, OP could read the message that he received at that moment which said,  “last night was amazing, can’t wait to see you again” and some emojis.

After thinking about it for a short time, she decided to tell her mother that her dad was cheating on her. “She got pretty emotional which I felt bad about, and told me not to worry and that I should just worry about being a kid and let her take care of the rest, so I just let it go cause I didn’t want to hurt her more.”

One evening, the entire family gathered for dinner at OP’s grandfathers. There, her cousin shared the news that she started a new job. Everyone was pleased with the news, but then OP’s father told OP that she should be more like her cousin because she wasn’t any good according to him. But he didn’t stop there. In fact, he continued shaming OP telling her she should focus more on school and a lot more.

At one moment he mentioned that OP lacked respect for him, and that was the final straw.

At this point, OP had it enough. “Hard to respect you when you openly cheat on Mom and don’t even try to hide it,” she said in front of everyone.

The room went silent at first, but then her father started yelling both at her and her mother. The mom then took her kids and told her husband she shouldn’t be returning home.

Once home, OP started receiving text messages from her relatives who accused her of ruining the evening and the family. Her mom, however, told her “that she understood my frustration and I probably should have expressed it better privately but what’s done is done.”

Redditors were quick to comment that OP was NTA.

Kate Middleton ‘may attend’ events during cancer treatments, royal expert claims

Over the years, Kate Middleton has become one of the most beloved members of the British royal family. At the start of her relationship with William, the public wasn’t very fond of her and the reason for that was that she was considered a “commoner.” Her parents were common people who built their wealth after staring their own business which allowed them to provide a comfortable childhood for their children. The Middletons were also able to enroll their children at prestigious schools.

Today, Kate’s role within the family is a crucial one. She’s not only a princess, but a future Queen and the mother to the future heir of the throne.

Unfortunately, at the time being, she’s struggling with health issues that started following her planned abdominal surgery.

It was announced by the Palace in January that Kate was supposed to undergo a surgery at the London Hospital. Despite the fact that the surgery was a planned one, no further details had been released.

Once the procedure was over, Kate stayed at the hospital longer than everyone assumed, and that’s when speculations surrounding her health started. However, in the weeks to come, those speculations and rumors grew bigger and bigger when Kate was nowhere to be seen.

Karwai Tang/WireImage

The first time she was spotted in public was with her mother, inside a car. The photo of the Princess’s appearance was taken and shared by TMZ.

On Mother’s Day, Kate posted a photo of herself and her kids posing on the patio. This photo was probably supposed to assure the public that the princess was indeed doing well as the Palace insisted.

But soon after the photo was published, it was determined that someone edited it. It was obvious the image was manipulated, which triggered the news agencies to issue a “kill notice.”

After numerous speculations and accusations, Kate posted on the social media that she was the one who edited the image before posting it online. Many saw this as the Palace throwing her under the bus and not standing up for her.

Eventually, on March 22, Kate Middleton shared with the world that she has cancer. In the video message she posted, Kate explained that following her surgery doctors ran tests and spotted the presence of cancer. She added that she started receiving therapy shortly after but kept her diagnosis a secret up until that point because she and William needed time to figure it out how to share the news with the children.

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

Now, the public is praying for Kate’s well-being and they are sending their best wishes. When the Princess of Wales would be able to return to her royal duties is not known. She, however, was reported to have been quite busy working from the comfort of her home.

Following her surgery, Kate found the time to send an emotional letter to TV host Kate Garraway whose husband died due to complications from COVID-19 in January.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Garraway shared she had received a letter from David and Victoria Beckham, as well as from William and Kate.

“And from the royal family — Catherine and William sent a beautiful letter, and I know Catherine has been in hospital herself,” the host said.

“Even the King — because there is somebody [who] knows about grief — that anticipatory grief where you know something has a risk of happening and how different it is when it does happen.”

Garraway isn’t the only person who has received a letter from the princess.

On April 6, X user @AllemarieHoll1 touched the hearts of royal enthusiasts by sharing a heartwarming story about receiving a letter from Kensington Palace, the official residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. In January, she and her family had sent a card to Kate Middleton after her abdominal surgery, and they were delighted to receive a response.

“Back in January, when we were informed our beautiful Princess of Wales had undergone surgery, I sent her a card with our (my family and I) sincerest best wishes for healing and, of course, an abundance of love,” she wrote as reported by Express. “Today, I received this beautiful acknowledgment, and I can honestly say I shall treasure this my entire life.”

The thank you card to her and her husband had Kensington Palace printed at the top and stated, “Thank you for your kind well wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. Your thoughtful gesture is very much appreciated.”

Of course, royal fans were quick to comment under @AllemarieHoll1’s post, praising Kate’s sympathetic nature.

“Wow this is such a beautiful response… You have a beautiful heart to have sent her a card which I’m sure meant so much… How can one find her address… I’d like to send one too…” one person wrote.

“How very special, dear friend. Your kindness was appreciated,” another added.

Kate and Charles receive plenty of support from both their family and their fans who are eagerly waiting to see them back in public performing their royal duties.

However, royal expert and author Katie Nicholl believes that Kate receives most support from her parents and siblings.

“She has a really tight group of friends and, particularly in Norfolk, really close friends there. But I think the real anchors in her life are her parents… and her brother James… and her sister Pippa,” she said.

“While you certainly don’t see them photographed together very often, they are very much there in the background. They are absolutely fundamental.”

Katie Nicholl continued by explaining that Kate Middleton’s parents felt “very relieved” that their daughter’s cancer was found in its early stages.

“Catherine is going to have the very best doctors in the world looking after her, so she’s in safe hands,” Katie Nicholl added. “Carol and Michael, they’ve always been an incredibly strong couple and also very down to earth… what they’ll be doing right now is they’ll be coming together and supporting her — and not just William and Kate, [but] their grandchildren, too.”

While Kate’s parents didn’t share an official message on the social media regarding’s Kate’s cancer, her brother, James, did.

Posting a photo of him and his sister as kids, he wrote, “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”

Having in mind that she’s receiving chemo treatments, it is not known when the Princess will be able to return to her royal duties.

According to GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker, there’s speculation that the Princess of Wales could be closer to making public appearances than anticipated. Walker suggests that she “might attend certain events” in the near future. 

“Because of the princess’ cancer diagnosis, she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy at the moment. What I am hearing from those close to the princess is that she may well decide to attend certain events if she feels up to it and if she’s keen to go,” Cameron Walker said.

“But in terms of a return to full-scale public duties and as a full-time working royal, I suspect that’s some time to come yet. But perhaps, maybe we’ll see her at some point this summer.”

The royal expert concluded, “But it just honestly depends on how her treatment goes.”

Kate Middleton’s emotional three-word response when hearing a royal fan’s cancer diagnosis, revealed

After months of speculations, Kate Middleton has finally put a stop to the rumors concerning her health and her whereabouts. On March 22, the Princess of Wales released a touching video in which she disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the public and the media.

This news came as a shock to the Britons and Kate’s fans from all over the world. As expected, well wishes and messages of support came pouring in, and that showed yet again how loved Kate truly is.

Among the rest, the Princess said in the video, “I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

She explained that her cancer was discovered when doctors ran tests following her planned abdominal surgery and it took her time to share the diagnosis with the public because she and William were trying to figure out a way to inform the children first.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be ok. As I have said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body, and spirits.”

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

Further, Kate addressed those battling cancer.

“For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone,” the princess said.

Throughout the years, Kate has received acclaim for her efforts in destigmatizing mental health issues among young people, as well as her adeptness in engaging with the public during her royal engagements.

When interacting with children in public, Middleton often crouches down to their level, demonstrating her warmth not only towards youngsters but also to all her admirers during official appearances.

Recently, an emotional encounter between a cancer survivor and Kate Middleton has come to light.

Amidst Kate’s battle with cancer, royal fan Paul Philip Roberts, now 53, who had undergone surgery for lung cancer recalled the meeting with the princess and revealed that her compassionate nature was on full display during that poignant encounter. The touching moment took place during a visit to Blackpool in 2019 by Kate and William.

As per Express, Roberts praised Kate for showing him that “she cares,” adding that his “heart goes out to her” when speaking to PA about the encounter.

When he told her about his diagnosis, Kate responded with three emotional words: “Just keep going.”

“I’d just come out of hospital and Kate was visiting Blackpool with Prince William, they were touring Blackpool, and it was then that I managed to chat to her,” he told PA. “She did a walkabout, William went on one side and she came the other side, she came to my side, and we were chatting for a good five minutes.”

“We were chatting and I was saying, my life has changed, it was so difficult, you’ve got to go through every emotion. She basically said, ‘What cancer is it?’ and I said it was stage three and that I had my lung out, and she said, ‘Oh my God, that’s awful,’ and she said, ‘Just keep going,’ and she gave us a hug.”

Roberts said it was evident to him that she genuinely cared. He expressed his belief that by disclosing her cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales would offer support to thousands of others.

“It’s beneficial to the community and to the world, when you think about how many people she might have saved,” he told PA and concluded by sending Kate Middleton a message of his own.

“Always focus on getting stronger. That’s my message to her, is to focus on getting stronger, and take all the support that you can because it’s crucial. I just wish her all the luck in the world and I hope she manages to get through it, especially for her family.”

Isabella Strahan in tears over cancer update

Isabella Strahan, the daughter of Good Morning America host Michael Strahan, has been undergoing chemotherapy since her emergency surgery in October.

Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023. Previously, she struggled with constant headaches during her freshman year of college at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

“I didn’t realize anything was wrong until probably around October 1,” she told Roberts. “That’s when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn’t walk straight.”

“I’m feeling well. Not too bad,” she said and added she is to start therapy next month.

Before she was diagnosed, Isabella felt dizzy at times and she believed that was the reason behind her headaches, but one day in October of last year, she felt ill and started vomiting blood. That’s when she knew something serious was going on.

“I was thinking, ‘Hm, this probably isn’t good.’ So I texted [my sister], who told the entire family.”

“That was when we decided, ‘You need to really go get a thorough checkup,’” Michael said. “Thank goodness for the doctor. I believe this doctor saved her life by saying, ‘Let’s perform the whole checkup.’”

The 19-year-old USC student and model has been openly sharing her cancer journey through a YouTube series to raise awareness and support for Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina. In her latest video, she shared a positive update on her condition.

Isabela told her fans that she will be done with chemotherapy in May because her treatments were reduced.

“My doctor just called me and told me I only have to do two more rounds of chemotherapy, and it’s like the biggest thing. I’m so happy,” Isabella shared.

“I’ll be done in May. And I can kind of try and have a summer to feel better,” she continued. “And I’m so happy cause I thought I’d be done at the end of July. I was supposed to do six rounds in total. And then I really would just have to go straight back to school. I’m so happy.”

However, in her newest video, Isabella revealed she’s back in the hospital for a third unexpected brain surgery.

“There’s ups and downs to this…. I’m in a down right now,” she admitted and explained that when her fever exceeds 100.4 degrees, she must seek medical help. “I started hysterically crying because I needed to get an IV and I haven’t had an IV in so long. They’re giving me fluids right now and antibiotics.” Isabella then went in for another procedure.

“So they did a little procedure. I’ve had this one before. They stuck a needle in three spots and drain fluid and I was completely awake for this. My first completely awake surgery.”

As a result of this her chemotherapy has been pushed back. But no matter this setback, Isabella is feeling better.

Prince George spotted for first time amid Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis – and everyone is saying the same thing

Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis came as a huge shock. In the video she released on March 22, she explained that doctors found the presence of cancer after running tests following her planned abdominal surgery.

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

Allegedly, the children were told of their mom’s diagnosis in February, and the timing of Kate’s video was not coincidental. Experts believe that the family chose Friday, 6 p.m. because their children’s school had closed by that time and they wouldn’t immediately face questions about it from their friends.

“George is ten now and can’t be shielded from any of this now,” a palace source told the Times. “Once it’s at the school gate and in the school playground, he won’t be able to avoid it.”

According to King Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold, Kate and William chose a different approach for each of the children when they shared the news of her cancer with them. He believes that the couple most likely “sugarcoated” her health issues when they broke the news to Prince Louis.

“I’m sure it was a very difficult and very different conversation between children,” Grant Harrold told the NY Post. “For instance, for Louis, I’m sure the conversation was more sugarcoated than it was with George and Charlotte.”

The former butler continued, “The older children can understand more, so I’d imagine it was a little more frank but undoubtedly staying positive, which is so important.

“That’s why when you now look at the picture of Kate with her three children, it brings a tear to your eye. For any mother to have that conversation is huge and you can imagine Charlotte and George are going to be good supports for her.”

He added that Louis is too young to understand her mom’s condition.

“It’s a tricky one. I’m sure the children will be handling it as any kids would be expected to handle it, but I think their parents are very good at being calm and collected, and I think that will rub off on the children,” he told the NY Post.

During Easter break, the children spent their time at Anmer Hall at the Sandringham Estate with their parents where they had fun and went egg hunting.

As per GB News host Bev Turned, Easter was a perfect time to discuss what was happening. She noted that Kate “wanted to tell her children in her own time,” adding that the princess “didn’t want to be pushed into it” even though the speculations grew.

“She’s got them off for Easter for 2 or 3 weeks now, and she can talk to them and keep them close,” Turned said.

Now that the holiday is over, the family is likely stressed over the fact that the children are getting back to school where they could be questioned of their mom’s cancer by the schoolmates.

Royal experts believe that Prince George may feel the most pressure.

“George might have a retinue of bodyguards who probably know 17 ways to kill someone using only their bare hands, but even they can’t protect the boy from schoolyard tattle and kids talking,” Daniela Elser wrote in a column for News.com.au.

“It would seem that by and large the Lambrook community has, and will continue to, rally around the family, however there are limits and kids, even ones who start their day with boiled quails eggs and celery salt, are only kids. How will George, Charlotte and Louis cope having to be back at school where all of their classmates and the entire world knows their mum is unwell?”

Elser continued, “The good news is that William, Kate, and their three have another blessed week of peace and quiet and more nature than you could shake an antique mahogany stick at before this all descends on them, and George realizes he’s lost his Latin primer.”

After quite some time, the young prince was spotted in public with his father during a football match. Aston Villa played French side Lille in the Europa Conference League and the father and son cheered their favorite club on.

It was obvious that the father-son duo had plenty of fun, especially because Aston Villa won 2-1.

“Just wow. Two future kings just enjoying a fabulous night without security to the Tee or some type of stupid drama. Prince William and Prince George are the finest father and son duo,” one person wrote on X, as per Express.

Another added, “Just normal dad & son stuff of two unassuming future Kings.”

A third wrote, “Love this. William is such a good dad.” One royal fan pointed out how mature George looked, “Love this family! Prince George is growing up so fast!”

“I love that Prince William is still trying to do all the things he usually does with his family to keep things as normal as possible. Father goal,” and “Prince William and Prince George making memories at Villa Park, bonding over their love for football. A true testament to Prince William’s commitment to being a hands-on dad,” were the rest of the comments.

We can all agree that William is an incredible father.

Meghan Markle fears for her children’s safety in dramatic ‘U-turn’ before UK visit

Harry and Meghan’s departure from the royal family attracted significant attention. What’s most, the conflicts that arose from their decision to step down from their royal duties, along with the interviews they have provided to the media over the course of the years, the Netflix documentary and Harry’s book, Spare, has kept them in the spotlight.

As per many, it was their highly-publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey that marked the beginning of their rift with the monarchy. During this interview, the couple made shocking revelations about the royals, among the rest accusing them of racism.

Despite their departure from royal duties, financial opportunities continued to flow their way. In September 2020, they inked a lucrative five-year, $100 million production deal with Netflix, signed a four-book deal with their publisher that allegedly included a staggering $20 million advance and global royalties for Harry’s book Spare, potentially totaling over $120 million. Additionally, they secured a $20 million deal with Spotify, estimated to be worth around $35 million according to industry experts.

Their Netflix series achieved great success, and Harry’s book became a bestseller within days of its release. Meghan also launched her own promising Spotify podcast.

However, in June of last year, the couple faced a significant setback both professionally and financially when their media company, Archewell Audio, and streaming giant Spotify ended their contract. Despite the initial hype, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex only produced one series, Meghan’s podcast “Archetypes,” following the 2020 agreement.

“Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series that we made together,” a statement read.

Allegedly, Spotify expected more content from Archewell Studios.

The Sussexes didn’t want to produce content for one service exclusively. In their description, Archewell Audio’s company says its mission is “producing programming that uplifts and entertains audiences around the world,” as well as “spotlights diverse perspectives and voices. What’s most, they want to build “community through shared experience, narratives, and values.”

Bill Simmons, who founded Spotify and later sold it for around $200 million but now serves as the company’s head of podcast innovation and monetization, called the Sussexes “grifters.”

“I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation. The Fucking Grifters, that’s the podcast we should have launched with them,” Simmons said on the Bill Simmons podcast.

“I have got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories … Fuck them. The grifters.”

According to many, the reason behind all the interviews, podcasts, and even Meghan’s latest show featuring cooking, is the fact that the couple wants to stay relevant. What they do is certainly not a way to stay away from the media, something they stated as a reason when they left Britain and settled in the States.

Well, no matter how much they want to speak of others during interviews and podcasts, the Sussexes certainly don’t want others to talk about them.

In an episode of the adult television series South Park, the Sussexes found themselves the subject of a number of jokes, and apparently, they were far from happy because of it.

This isn’t the first time the series to mock celebrities such as Rod Stewart, Tom Cruise, and Donald Trump.

Youtube/South Park Studios

The episode in question starts with a scene from the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and shows two characters, based on Harry and Meghan, walk past a candle that looks identical to the one talked about last fall, supposedly blocking Meghan from the cameras. Claims were that the royals had done it intentionally, and the scene in the series was clearly a nod to the Duchess.

South Park is without a doubt one of the most successful series there are. It first aired back in 1997 and it’s still on.

In the episode, the writers also included the Sussexes all-tell interview with Oprah, but this time, their animated characters were shown visiting Good Morning Canada. Further, they mocked the royals for wanting privacy, but yet, they tend to be under the spotlight. Meghan’s animated character is seen holding a sign which reads, “Do not look at us,” while Harry says, “We do not want privacy.” When the host asks Harry’s character if he hates journalists, the Prince answers, “That’s right, we just want to be normal people – all this attention is so hard.” The two then storm off the stage.

When meeting a “brand manager” in the episode, he labels Meghan as a “sorority girl, actress, influencer and victim,” while Harry is branded a “royal prince, millionaire, world traveller victim.”

Comedy Central

The show then mocked the royals decision to leave Britain, and in the episode, instead of California, the couple moves to South Park, but the residents aren’t delighted because of that. “If we moved here, people would think we’re really serious about wanting to be normal,” Meghan’s character said.

One of the show’s characters, Kyle, then complains that the Duchess “bosses him around” and could be heard saying, “I’m sick of hearing about them! I can’t get away from them!”

Kyle also states: “They have this huge jet parked in front of my house and they keep on wanting me to buy their book,” referring to Harry’s all-tell memoir Spare.

However, as much as this episode brought laughter at the viewers, Harry and Meghan seemed to be left utterly upset.

A person close to the couple revealed that Meghan has been “annoyed by South Park but refuses to watch it,” and added that she was “upset for days” and “underwhelmed.”

According to royal expert Neil Sean, the couple has been so unhappy with the episode that they are even considering suing the writers of the show.

“Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister. This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke,” Sean told Fox.

With everything happening within the family in recent years, royal fans and authors believe that the health issues Kate and Charles are going through may bring the entire family closer, and that includes Harry, Meghan, and their kids.

What’s most, royal author Tom Quinn said Kate and William were open to the idea of inviting the Sussexes to visit England.

However, Meghan allegedly passed on the offer.

“There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK,” Quinn told the Mirror in early April.

“William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far.”

Harry is expected to return to the UK for a special Invictus Games service at St Paul’s Cathedral in May, and as much as both he and Meghan want that she accompanies him, she has made a shocking u-turn — and once again, it concerns her children.

Samir Hussein/WireImage

Allegedly, Meghan doesn’t want to take her children to Britain because she’s concerned for their safety.

“It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe. The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone,” the source said. “Harry doesn’t want to keep making solo trips to the UK,” the source continued. “He would prefer it if the entire family made regular visits to see his family and build bridges, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that it just isn’t possible at the moment.”

A source for The OK! Magazine claimed that the Duchess doesn’t want to “be thrown back into an anxiety-fueled visit to England where she feels like she’s not wanted.” Harry on the other hand is torn between his wife and the royal family, especially Kate and his father.

It seems that a meeting between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals isn’t something we’d witness in near future.

‘Unforgettable’: Prince William breaks silence for first time since Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis announcement

The life of the royals has always been and intriguing one. Most recently, it has been the cancer diagnosis of two major royal figures that is attracting the attention of the public.

At the time the Palace announced that Catherine, the Princess of Wales would be undergoing a planned abdominal surgery in mid-January, the news of King Charles’ cancer has also found its way in the media. In fact, it was the Palace that shared the King’s diagnosis, for which the monarch was praised by royal experts.

Following Kate’s surgery, people started speculating about her well-being and her whereabouts because she was nowhere to be seen.

It has been reported that following her cancer diagnosis, which she disclosed with the public in March, Harry and Meghan reached out to both Charles and Kate.

What’s most, royal experts claimed that Harry regretted writing about Kate in his book Spare.

When it comes to Harry, it’s safe to say that he burned bridges with the members of the Firm when he and his wife gave Oprah the infamous interview and then moved on to film a documentary in which they revealed details about the royal life and the royals, and Harry published his book.

Prince William was among those who received his fair share of criticism from his brother, and today, the two don’t speak at all. In fact, it is said that William doesn’t even want to be in the same room as his brother.

Shortly after Spare was released, a source told the Daily Mail that the situation had become a “toxic stalemate.”

“William has no intention whatsoever of apologizing and remains incandescent, especially around the way his wife, the Princess of Wales, has been treated. The relationship isn’t even rock bottom now — it’s nonexistent. And I just don’t see if Harry were to come to the coronation how William could even bring himself to look his brother in the face,” the source said.

Since then, the brothers’ bond has hit its lowest point. Their encounters have been sparse, and at the moment, Prince William and Prince Harry hardly communicate. Surprisingly, recent tumultuous events within the royal family could potentially mark a pivotal moment, according to Harry.

Harry returned to Britain shortly after he learned of his father’s diagnosis.

The father and son had several “warm exchanges” during the visit, and their meeting lasted about 30 minutes. However, that Harry could possibly return to royal life was not something William was having a bar of.

“Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he [William] would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now,” the source said.

Samir Hussein/WireImage

Camilla wasn’t happy with Harry’s visit either. She referred to it as to a “PR stunt.” William shared her thoughts.

“William would be upset that Harry yet again has chosen to make this visit to see his father a PR opportunity,”  Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Sun. “As far as William is concerned, he has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry until Harry behaves like a gentleman and apologizes for the years of rudeness and slurs he has aimed at William and the Princess of Wales.”

“William must be privately furious thinking over all the years how he supported Harry, and at this one moment in his life when his 75-year-old father and wife of 13 years are both potentially seriously unwell, all Harry can think about is Harry and using it as an opportunity to announce his arrival and expect to see William.”

The royal author added that Harry “can’t resist” an opportunity to think about Harry and not the bigger picture.”

“It really stirs things up, him rushing over to see his father, and maybe he should have waited for a week or two,” the editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine continued.

“William was an excellent big brother. They always fought. But he was a good big brother. William always thought about things long and hard before he acted and usually kept schtum, while Harry was always impulsive. And it still appears to be that way.”

Many claimed that Harry and Meghan revealing plenty about their personal lives and the lives of the rest of the royals imposed the “new normal” and that’s the reason why the public and the media now expects from Kate and the rest of the royals to reveal private things about their lives, including their medical records.

One of the reasons Kate stayed quiet about her diagnosis was her husband, Prince William.

“The trolls have carried on to this day. But one thing that’s very interesting is if you look at the difference between the responses,” author Alexander Larman told GB News. “Buckingham Palace came forward very quickly and gave a fairly candid idea of what’s happening with Charles with his illness, and Kensington Palace didn’t.”

“I think that’s because Prince William is much more into the vein of never complain, never explain, which was his great grandfather’s motto, and has always served the Royal Family well,” Alexander Larman continued.

“But it doesn’t hold up in 2024 because you’ve got to allow the idea the information is going to get out into the public, whether you like it or not.”

Until now, William stayed quiet and wasn’t active on the social media, until April 10 when he broke silence.

He took to his and Kate’s official Prince and Princess of Wales Twitter account to recognize English soccer player Rachel Daly for her “unforgettable” career as she retired from international duty with the England national team. He then joked that she would now have the time to focus on her career in Aston Villa, a team the Prince is know to have supported over the years.

“Thank you for so many unforgettable performances with Lionesses, Rachel Daly. Plenty more goals for Villa now!” the post read, signed with “W” for William.

William once spoke of his love for the club and said, “A long time ago at school, I got into football big time. All my friends were Chelsea or Manchester United fans, and I didn’t really want to follow the run-of-the-mill team.” He added: “I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments. Aston Villa has always had a great history.”

Four-year-old becomes second child in weeks to collapse and almost die from drinking slushy drink

Four-year-old Albie of Warwickshire, UK, collapsed and faced a near-death experience shortly after consuming an iced slushy drink.

This frightening experience came weeks after another child went through the same ordeal because of the same drink.

Albie was given a strawberry-flavored slushy during a visit to a local bowling alley and his mom and dad, Beth Green and Fred Pegg, could never assume the horror that followed.

Within around 30 minutes, Beth noticed her son displaying signs of fatigue and agitation on their journey home.

ITV

“We just thought he was tired and had a long week at school. When he got in the car he kept saying he was tired. He physically couldn’t keep himself awake, his head kept dropping,” Beth explained. He began “clawing at his face” and hallucinating in the back seat before he collapsed, falling unconscious.

“At this point, I don’t even recall if he was breathing,” the terrified mother said. “He was a dead weight when I carried him through the door, he was unconscious.”

His condition rapidly deteriorated, and he was ultimately rushed to the hospital. Shortly after, he was transferred to the high-dependency unit at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire as he continued fall in and out of consciousness.

ITV

With each passing minute, the parents witnessed their son’s condition deteriorate, with his heartbeat dwindling to alarming lows. Amidst the chaos, medical professionals worked tirelessly to stabilize Albie.

For Beth and Fred, every second felt like an eternity, each heartbeat of their son a poignant reminder of the fragile balance between life and loss. They clung to each other, their prayers echoing in the sterile hospital corridors, fervently hoping for Albie’s miraculous recovery.

Albie was stabilized after three long days.

Following the terrifying incident, Beth and Fred received the diagnosis that Albie had suffered from ‘glycerol intolerance’ triggered by the consumption of the iced slushy drink. This revelation shed light on the grave consequences that unsuspecting individuals could face from seemingly innocuous food and beverage choices.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a stern warning following these distressing incidents, highlighting the potential health risks associated with high glycerol levels found in certain child-friendly drinks commonly sold at cinemas. According to the FSA, children under the age of four could be particularly susceptible to developing headaches and nausea as a result of consuming these beverages.

The FSA’s Head of Additives, Adam Hardgrave, said: “While the symptoms of glycerol intoxication are usually mild, it is important that parents are aware of the risks – particularly at high levels of consumption.

“It is likely that there is under-reporting of glycerol intoxication, as parents may attribute nausea and headaches to other factors.

“We are grateful to those manufacturers who have already taken steps to reduce levels of glycerol, and to those who have already told us they will be adopting our new guidelines.”
