Donald Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency following leg swelling

By

-

The public has been speculating about President Donald Trump’s swollen legs and ankles for quite some time and it has now been revealed that the rumors were not unfounded.

According to the White House, the president has undergone a “comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies,” with the White House Medical Unit. It was White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who read the note from physician Sean Barbabella, the doctor who performed Trump’s first physical examination which also involved a cognitive assessment since his return to Oval Office.

“I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president’s hand and also swelling in the president’s legs,” Leavitt said Thursday. “So, in the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today.”

Further, Barbabella’s statement added that Donald Trump had “noted mild swelling in his lower legs.”

“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70,” Barbabella’s note said of Trump.

According to the doctor’s note, no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease was found during the examination and Trump’s lab testing was all “within normal limits.”

Further Barbabella wrote that Trump also underwent an echocardiogram and “no signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.”

According to My Cleveland Clinic, “Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a form of venous disease that occurs when veins in your legs are damaged. As a result, these veins can’t manage blood flow as well as they should, and it’s harder for blood in your legs to return to your heart. CVI causes blood to pool in your leg veins, leading to high pressure in those veins..”

Further, the clinic adds that the condition is pretty common and affects 1 in 20 individuals.

Dr. Jeremy Faust, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School, said the president’s condition is “not alarming information” and “not surprising.”

“This is a pretty normal part of aging, and especially for someone in the overweight to obese category, which is where the president has always been. But the bigger concern … is that symptoms like this do need to be evaluated for more serious conditions, and that is what happened,” Faust told CNN.

Cardiologist Dr. Bernard Ashby told CNN that Chronic venous insufficiency can also be related to other health conditions such as increased pressure from the heart or sleep apnea.

Dr. Chris Pernell added that other possible causes could be age, obesity, and inactivity.

The truth is that this his swollen ankles aren’t the sole concern the public has regarding Trump’s health.

On June9, Trump attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and a couple of photos of him that were shared online caught the attention of many who claimed he was having what appeared to be a “catheter.”

The White House White House spokesperson Steven Cheung commented on the matter.

“The President has been the most transparent president in history, and the recent medical report that was released clearly and unequivocally shows he is in peak condition,” he told Snopes in an email.

The internet has ID’d the third woman caught on jumbotron next to cheating couple at Coldplay concert, and everyone is saying the same thing about her

The awkward moment during which a kiss cam caught Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert in Boston is still something the Internet is freaking out about.

Byron and Cabot were cuddling and smiling, his arms wrapped around her, as she leaned back into him when Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his “Jumbotron Song.” When they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot covered her face while Byron ducked down of sight. Martin then made a comment jokingly, saying, “Oh look at these two. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”

It's over for dude 💀💀 pic.twitter.com/TGjgJYqaST

Now, as the online community continues to buzz over the affair, people were eager to learn who the second woman in the clip that has since gone viral is. In no time, they have identified her as Alyssa Stoddard, also an employee at Astronomer. Allegedly, Stoddard is the Senior Director of People at the company that she joined in January 2025.

According to her LinkedIn profile, she has previously been a board member at Little Sparks Project, a human resources business partner at Proofpoint, and a people strategy manager at ObserveI.

Cabot promoted her to her current position just last week.

As the video made rounds, people couldn’t help but notice Stoddard’s reaction, with everyone agreeing that she was well-aware of the “relationship” between her colleagues.

One person commented, “She’s the recent hire who just got a promotion.”

“She’s cute with a great smile – supposedly she’s in HR as well and is a direct report of the chick that got busted on the big screen,” a second person added.

She just can’t wait to tell everyone.

A third person added: “She was the annoying, loud mouth, bad influence, feminist friend pushing for it all to happen, is my guess.”

Someone else commented, “When it comes out, this lady is actually best friends with the wife… that may be the bigger drama by far.”

Dad with a body fully covered in tattoos decides to transform his appearance – Here’s why

By

Monica Pop

-

Ethan ‘ModBoy’ Bramble, a 24-year-old Australian dad, had his entire body tattooed. Over the years, he has had over 200 tattoos and has undergone surgeries in order to change his appearance.

In fact, Bramble was just 11 when he had underdone his first body modification, during which his ears were stretched. Later on, similar procedures followed, involving those of splitting his tongue and removing his belly button.

While having a tattoo is a meaningful form of personal expression, Bramble realized he had gone too far, but by then, it was too late. His body was already covered in ink when he began to feel remorseful about some of his decisions.

A post shared by Ethan Modboy Bramble (@ethanmodboybramble)

All the tattoos and modifications cost him around $60,000 AUD, or about $39,000 USD.

Appearing on the LadBibleTV’s No Filter series, he shared, “I guess you could say I regret some tattoos. Not just regret, I think there’s a difference between regret and wanting to be perceived differently.”

Bramble opened up about how he feels when people stare, saying he can sense they are judgmental, especially when they see him with his daughter.

“The face is a big thing that can lead to so many – for some people, not everyone – can lead to a lot of problems for yourself, which I probably wouldn’t want my daughter to have to deal with until she was a bit older,” he said. “I wish that I had not gone as hectic as I did on my face.”

“I’ve been getting laser [surgery], or have been, for pretty much 12 months… We do it in sections, but I’ve probably gone over the full thing six or seven times,” he explained.

“I started getting it done because of the anxiety and stuff I was getting… Mental stuff is a funny thing to pin down, but I want to think that a lot of the anxiety was from just having a face full of tattoos.

“I’m happy with the way that I look, but I’m also happy with the mentality that over the next two years, my face tattoos are going to become less and less and less. I’m just clearing the canvas.”

Over 60 killed after fire rips through newly opened mall in Iraq following AC explosion

By

Monica Pop

-

A devastating fire tore through a newly opened mall, the Corniche Hypermarket Mall, in Kut, eastern Iraq, claiming the lives of at least 61 people. According to authorities, who have since launched an investigation, 11 people are still missing.

“The tragic fire claimed the lives of 61 innocent citizens, most of whom suffocated in bathrooms, and among them 14 charred bodies yet to be identified,” the interior ministry said in a statement.

According to witnesses, a number of people suffocated in the bathrooms, while a person shared that five of his relatives died inside an elevator.

The fire was said to have broken on the first floor but spread really quickly and engulfed the entire building. Although the exact cause remains unknown, allegedly, the tragedy struck after an air-conditioner exploded.

Civil defense teams were able to rescue more than 45 people trapped inside the five-storey mall which includes a restaurant and a supermarket.

The place opened just five days before the disaster, marking one of the country’s deadliest tragedies in recent years.

Nasir al-Quraishi, a doctor from Iraq, lost five family members in the fire.

“We went to the mall to have some food, eat dinner and escape power cuts at home.

“An air conditioner exploded on the second floor and then the fire erupted — and we couldn’t escape,” he said.

Governor Miyahi has declared a three-day period of mourning and disclosed that authorities intend to pursue legal action against the contractor and the mall’s proprietor. “The tragedy is a major shock… and requires a serious review of all safety measures,” he said.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered a “thorough probe” into the fire to identify “shortcomings” and prevent further incidents.

Iraq’s construction sector often ignores safety rules, which leads to fires and incidents.

In 2023, more than 100 people lost their lives after a fire broke inside a crowded wedding hall, triggering a stampede. Two years prior, more than 60 people got killed when a COVID-19 unit of a hospital burned down.

The lack of adequate fire preventing systems and safety standards sparked anger among the people of Iraq.

Entitled passenger snatched my in-flight meal — but karma served the real dish

By

Monica Pop

-

What started as a routine cross-country flight quickly turned frustrating for a woman who happened to be seated next to an entitled passenger.

The man behaved as though the plane belonged to him and made everyone around him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At one moment, just as the meal was served, the woman went to the restroom. When she returned to her seat, she was shocked to see the entitled man eating her meal.

Initially, she thought it would be for the best to pretend as though he didn’t steal her food, but then she changed her mind and confronted him.

Shrugging with a smirk, he said, “You took too long. I figured you didn’t want it. You snooze, you lose.”

The woman was left with nothing but a small bag of pretzels, while the man shamelessly enjoyed two full meals.

It was then that the woman alerted the flight-attendant of the incident, but not much was done. As the man dozed off and began snoring, the woman was left hungry and stunned by his blatant audacity.

But then, something happened and she saw it as a chance to have her little revenge.

Upon landing, an unexpected gate change was announced for the San Diego-bound flight. The woman glanced at the entitled man and thought about waking him up and telling him about the change, but she decided not to. Instead, she left him to his nap and rushed to make her flight.

Later, in San Diego, while catching up with some co-workers, the woman learned of a man arguing with a gate agent at LAX after missing his connection. She was eager to learn what he looked like, and just as she assumed, it was that entitled passenger who stole her food.

It turned out that while he was fast asleep, karma was wide awake.

Kate Middleton makes rare comment about Prince Louis

By

Monica Pop

-

Kate Middleton received a standing ovation when she appeared at the Wimbledon tennis finals last weekend. Her presence at this event has always been embraced by the public, especially now that she has beat cancer.

During her youth, the Princess of Wales was a promising tennis player, and although she didn’t get to play the sport professionally, it is still very close to her heart.

Her children Prince George and Princess Charlotte both took up the sport, and together, they attend the Wimbledon finals every year.

For a third year in a row, Charlotte accompanied her mother at the women’s final on Saturday a week ago between Polish player Iga Swiontek and the US’s Amanda Anisimova from the Royal Box.

On Sunday, Prince George accompanied his sister, mother, and father, Prince William, to witness Italian Jannik Sinner’s victory over Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon Men’s final.

Following the match, the Italian met the royal family and signed three tennis balls Princess Charlotte was holding. Although the youngest of the siblings wasn’t in attendance, his sister and his mom made sure Prince Louis also received a signed ball.

As they talked, eager to know how Sinner would celebrate his victory, Kate smiled and made a comment about the tennis balls he was signing. “Thank you so much, that’s really kind,” Princess Kate told the Italian sports star.

“We brought one for their brother as well,” she added, to which Prince William said, “Louis would be very upset otherwise,” as they both laughed.

Kate made more than one comment about her son Louis this past week. During an exhibit of items from the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, the Princess compared Louis to a former monarch.

“I should know,” she said, per Hello Magazine, regarding a portrait of a young King Louis XIV, who ruled France from 1643 to 1715.

While Kate’s presence to the men’s finals delighted many, it also raised concerns about her health.

While some dubbed her chick and elegant, there were comments regarding her looks.

“Her arms…my god, she does not look well,” one wrote.

Another added: “Her face doesn’t look that gaunt yet her body is so thin,” while a third commented, “She looks painfully thin, but still angelically, dazzlingly beautiful.”

Recently, Kate spoke of her battle with cancer and confessed that time after treatment wasn’t what she expected.

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” Kate Middleton said.

“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to. And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”

Our gender reveal cake was gray — then our daughter shared a surprising truth

By

Monica Pop

-

When my husband and I married, we knew we wanted children. We already had a girl, Maddison, from his first marriage that I got to love as my own, but still, we dreamed of a big family. Also, Maddie kept asking about a little brother or sister.

However, things didn’t go as planned and we struggled with fertility issues for a couple of years before we opted for an IVF treatment. Luckily, it was successful, and soon after, I learned I was carrying a child.

Needless to say, Maddie was over the moon.

On the day of our gender reveal party that we spent weeks planning, Maddie wore her most fabulous dress, eager to learn if we were going to welcome a boy or a girl into our lives.

All of our family and friends were there, and nothing spoke trouble until we cut the cake. Instead of a pink or blue color, the inside of the cake was gray. A dull, cement-like gray.

The room fell silent. I could feel the stares of the guests who wondered what was going on.

My husband’s face went pale. He leaned over and muttered, “Something’s not right,” before stepping away to call the bakery. But even before he could make the call, I noticed Maddie wasn’t there.

We went out to look for her, when we heard an uncontrollable sobbing coming from one of the rooms.

“What’s wrong, Maddie,” I asked her, but she refused to answer. “Please, you can tell me everything. Do you know who ruined the cake?”

That’s when Maddie looked straight into my eyes and asked, “Mom, is it true that IVF babies aren’t real?”

“Oh, Maddie, honey, who told you that?” I asked. And that’s when she told me it was my MIL, Beatrice, who said something so cruel.

Without saying anything, I took Maddie’s hand and placed it on my belly. “Can you feel the baby moving?” I asked her while wiping her tears.

Maddie smiled. “Yes, the baby kicked. Mom, the baby is real.”

“Of course it is, and soon, it will be here with us.”

Listening to our conversation, my husband knew he needed to confront his mother.

The worst thing of all was that she didn’t even try to defend herself. On the contrary, she confessed she was the one who called the bakery and asked for the grey color because she was convinced IFV babies weren’t natural nor God approved.

Her words were ridiculous. Everyone at the party, which she ruined, was shocked by what she said.

My husband couldn’t put up with her silly behavior and asked her to leave.

She just turned around and left. No apology, no regret.

Eventually, we decided not to throw another party, we just waited until the very end to witness if our little miracle would be a boy or a girl. And yes, Maddie was over the moon to welcome a baby sister.

During Coldplay’s recent Boston concert, frontman Chris Martin sparkled a viral moment when the ‘kiss cam’ revealed what many believe is an ongoing affair. As the cam pointed to a man having his arms around a woman, the man ducked down of sight, while the woman tried to hide her face.

Martin’s reaction? “Oh look at these two,” he could be heard saying in the clip that has since gone viral. “Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”

In no time, the “couple” was identified as the CEO of the New York-based company Astronomer, Andy Byron, and the Chief People Officer of the company Kristin Cabot.

It turned out that what was supposed to be a romantic evening for Byron and his employee, spiraled into one of the most viral corporate scandals of the year.

Needless to say, the clip — of what many believe to be an infidelity in progress — has since gone viral, causing a massive uproar online.

In the wake of the “exposed affair,” a statement which appeared to be written by Byron was shared on the social media. It refers to a “deeply personal mistake playing out on a very public stage.” It adds: “I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family, and the team at Astronomer. You deserve better from me as a partner, as a father, and as a leader.”

The ending? A quote from Coldplay: “Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you.”

However, it turned out that the statement wasn’t a genuine one. In fact, it was a parody from an X profile belonging to someone named Peter Enis of CBS News.

Speaking to TMZ, Astronomer said the statement was not real.

A community note was later added to the original ‘statement’, which read: “Peter Enis does not exist at CBS News. Until earlier today, this account was listed as a parody. This changed deliberately to mislead.

“Thank you to all who made today so funny. I’m glad you all enjoyed the Fix You lyric at the end. I debated on that one.. Best, P.Enis.”

The dog that woke his master

By

Monica Pop

-

The prognosis for Officer Rami, who was severely injured during a mission, was bleak. After weeks in the hospital, doctors decided to take him off life support, but before that, they let his K9 Lari to say goodbye. Little did the doctors know, however, that things would change in ways they could only dub mysterious.

Officer Rami sustained severe traumatic brain injury after losing consciousness during the mission. Sadly, he never regained it. With each passing day, he was getting weaker and weaker.

The family was informed that there was nothing that could be done, and taking him off life support was the best decision for both the officer and those close to him.

However, when Lari was allowed to see his master, he wouldn’t stop barking and licking his hands. He kept walking hesitantly, his ears drooped, and his large eyes shone with anxiety and confusion.

When the dog jumped onto his master’s bed and started sniffing his face, something incredible happened — Officer Rami’s fingers twitched.

Luckily, a nurse was there and witnessed the movement. The heart monitor’s rhythm shifted, beeping more rapidly.

In the next moment, the room was filled with neurosurgeons, neurologists, nurses, and other doctors.

One of them approached the officer and asked him to squeeze his hand if he could hear him. Rami’s fingers curled weakly.

It took a couple more weeks before Officer Rami could start speaking again, but his condition improved drastically and he was eventually discharged from the hospital.

Once home, his memory started resurfacing, piece by piece, but he still had troubles recalling the night when he got injured.

Then, one evening, his mother brought an album and started showing Rami pictures, trying to help him remember more about his life. And then, at one moment, Rami spotted a familiar face. “Who’s this?” he asked.

“That’s Odell. He was your squad partner. You were paired up for that mission,” she said.

And that’s when Rami remembered. On the night of that mission that changed his life forever, Rami wanted to wait for backup but Odell pushed to go in early. When they eventually decided to enter the warehouse where the two suspects were, Odell went first, and Rami followed. Then, Odell made a signa that went against their agreed plan. As Rami tried to pull back, Odell forced him ahead — straight into harm’s way.

The following day, Rami went forward with that information, and eventually, a footage that everyone believed was nonexistent until then emerged and showed that Rami was telling the truth.

It was all shady from the beginning. Odell never visited his partner at the hospital, and it was the first red flag.

Once everything was cleared, Rami, who returned to duty — not as an officer but as a K9 handler — turned to Lari and said, “Hey buddy, you knew everything from the start. You knew I needed to wake up and stop a liar from getting away with it.”

Rosie O’Donnell hits back on Trump after threat of revoking her citizenship

By

Monica Pop

-

Claiming Rosie O’Donnell posses a “threat to humanity,” President Donald Trump posted on the social media that he considers revoking her citizenship.

“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” he posted on Truth Social.

“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA.”

The star of A League of Their Own left the U.S. for Ireland following Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election. “I knew it was time to go,” she told CNN. “I’ve never once regretted the move.” O’Donnell made the decision to leave the States along with her nonbinary child due to concerns about Project 2025.

“I look at America and I feel overwhelmingly depressed,” she explained. “I knew what [the Trump administration] was planning to do, because I read Project 2025.”

She added: “I know what he’s capable of. And I didn’t want to put myself through another four years of him being in charge.

“I picked up and left before the inauguration – because I wasn’t going to take any chances.”

In fact, the feud between Trump and O’Donnell dates back to 2006 when she criticized him on The View, calling him a “snake-oil salesman” and an “orange slug.”

Trump responded to the insults, referring to the comedian as a “fat pig,” “loser” and “disgusting.”

Following the recent threats, O’Donnell responded to Trump. Taking to Instagram, she wrote, “Go ahead and try, King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I’m not yours to silence.”

In an interview on RTÉ Radio 1, she described Trump as “racist, sexist, and a threat to global stability.” O’Donnell added that although Trump probably can’t legally take away her citizenship, she warned that the Supreme Court is gaining too much power under his watch.

Heartbreaking way Princess Charlotte learned about grandma Diana

By

Monica Pop

-

Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is truly a special young lady whose personality shines through more and more with each passing year. Many agree that she resembles her late grandmother, Princess Diana — especially since, on many occasions, she has unknowingly replicated one of Diana’s most distinctive expressions: looking up through her eyelashes with a slightly tilted head. This signature look, that gave the impression that Diana was shy, became known as the “Spencer Stare.”

Some believe that the little princess has also inherited her grandma’s jawline and eyes, with a number of people pointing that out on the social media.

“William, Charlotte, and Diana all have the same eye shape, with William even sharing Diana’s eye colour,” one person noted. “The little princess looks so much like her grandmother Diana, beautiful as ever,” another commented on a TikTok video of Charlotte.

But, it seems like this resemblance is not limited to looks only — on the contrary, it looks like Charlotte also shares her grandma’s caring and loving nature.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales)

Sadly, neither Charlotte nor her siblings had the chance to meet their paternal grandma who died after she and her partner Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, her driver Henri Paul, and her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones crashed the Mercedes they were driving in the Pont de I’Alma tunnel in Paris while trying to escape the paparazzi. At the time of her tragic passing on August 31, 1997, Diana was 36 years old.

In the past, William opened up about his mother and revealed how he speaks genuinely of her in front of his children. “We’ve got more photos up around the house now of her, and we talk about her a bit and stuff. It’s hard because obviously, [Kate] didn’t know her, so she cannot really provide that level of detail,” he said in a 2017 BBC documentary.

“So, I do regularly, putting George or Charlotte to bed, talk about her and just try and remind them that there are two grandmothers, there were two grandmothers in their lives, and so it’s important that they know who she was and that she existed,” William added.

In the past, Prince William and Princess Kate shared some of their children’s cards made for Mother’s Day from the previous years. The children, however, not only wrote cards for their mom but also for their late grandmother.

In one of them, Charlotte wrote, “Dear Granny Diana, I am thinking of you on mother’s day.

I love you very much. Papa is missing you. Lots of love, Charlotte”.

Just like his mother did, William wants to expose his three children to the realities outside the royal bubble.

“George, Charlotte and Louis are not only allowed to be playful, fun, spontaneous, and even cheeky in public, they are actively encouraged by their mum and dad, who often look at their most proud and most doting when they are doing so,” royal and body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail in 2023.

Prince William wants to make sure his children are aware that not everyone is fortunate as they are and that there are people out there who need help.

When he and Harry were young, Princess Diana took them to a homeless shelter, and now William intends to do the same with his own children.

“My mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from quite a young age, and I’m really glad she did,” William explained. “I think when I can balance it with their schooling, they will definitely be exposed to it. On the school run, we talk about what we see. When we were in London, driving backwards and forwards, we regularly used to see people sitting outside supermarkets and we’d talk about it.”

He continued: “I’d say to the children, ‘Why are they there? What’s going on?’ I think it’s in all our interests, it’s the right thing to do, to expose the children, at the right stage, in the right dialogue, so they have an understanding.”

Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, believes it is appropriate for Prince William to carry on his mother’s values.

“It wasn’t just Diana – Charles also wanted his sons to have a better understanding of life outside the Palace walls,” she told OK!. “They both came from the same perspective of wanting to raise those boys with an understanding of normal life outside the confines of royal protocol.”

“William and Kate’s children are probably more aware of homelessness than most children from privileged backgrounds, because it’s something their father campaigns passionately for and has done since he was 18. I think their eyes have been quite wide open from an early age – and that is largely because of William and Kate’s hard work,” she added.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has officially been banned from driving

By

Monica Pop

-

Former Harry Potter star Emma Watson has been banned from driving for six months due to speeding. The 35-year-old actress was driving at 38 miles per hour in a 30-mph zone in Oxford, England, on the evening of July 31 last year. One would say that her Hermione Granger spell to reverse the fine would come in handy is she could use it in real life.

She did not attend her hearing on Wednesday at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court, during which the court fined her £1,044, or about $1,400.

BBC News reported that Watson had already had nine points on her license before the speeding incident that led to her temporarily losing her driver’s license.

During the past couple of years, Watson has stayed out of the spotlight as she’s taking her time to work on her master thesis on creative writing at Oxford University. Her last movie role was that of Meg March in the 2019’s Little Women. She, however, stated that acting would absolutely remain part of her future.

Her lawyer told the court that Watson is a student; regardless, “she is in a position to pay the fine.”

Watson, however, isn’t the only Harry Potter star who got herself in trouble for speeding while driving.

Fellow actress Zoë Wanamaker, whose character of Madam Hooch in the franchise’s first film taught Watson’s character how to fly a broom, was also banned from driving for six months.

According to reports, Wanamaker was driving 46 mph in a 40 mph zone in August 2024 in Berkshire, England. She, just like Watson, didn’t attend the court hearing.

This news came shortly after the Harry Potter movies filled headlines with announcements of a reboot produced by the books’ author J.K Rowling. The wizarding series set at Hogwarts is expected to air in 2027.

The story behind the tiny pocket on your jeans

By

Monica Pop

-

Who doesn’t own a pair of jeans, given how iconic they are.

The origin of jeans dates back to the 19th century and is deeply connected to workwear, durability, and the American West. At the beginning, it was worn by miners, cowboys, railroad workers, and farmers, but during the 50’s, jeans became a symbol of youth rebellion. This was influenced by the likes of James Dean and Marlon Brando, who were adored by millions.

It was invented by Jacob Davis, a tailor, and Levi Strauss, a German immigrant and dry goods supplier. Made of denim, a durable cotton twill fabric, originally dyed with indigo to make the iconic blue, jeans gained popularity quickly.

Nowadays, jeans represents a fashion staple worldwide.

If you love jeans, you have certainly spotted that tiny pocket tucked away inside your jeans’ front right pocket. If you have and wondered what it serves for, we have the answer.

In fact, the history of this small pocket dates back more than 150 years. Nowadays, it doesn’t serve any particular purpose, but back in the day it was used to accommodate a pocket watch, an essential and fashionable item for men in the 1800s.

It offered a tight and safe spot to store the pocket watches, keeping them protected from damage during labor. Since the watches were often attached to chains, separating them from other items made perfect sense. So, it’s safe to say that the jeans’ tiny pockets were both practical and fashionable.

Although it’s extremely rare for someone to carry a pocket watch nowadays, the tiny pocket remained an iconic part of the much-loved clothing item we all a pair of.

Today, people use it to keep other items such as coins, tickets, keys, and more.

Although no longer essential, this little pocket stands as a subtle tribute to the jeans’ origins in workwear.

6 types of foods that negatively affect your thyroid

By

Monica Pop

-

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that is located in front of the trachea. It serves the function of releasing hormones that control the metabolic system, or the process of how the body transforms the food we consume into energy. It also releases hormones affecting the heart rate, the body temperature, brain development, mental activity, fertility, and more.

When the thyroid doesn’t function properly, it affects the entire body.

Most common conditions that can affect the thyroid are:

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
Goiter (enlarged thyroid).
Thyroid cancer.

Although the diseases related to the thyroid are often not preventable because they are related to genetics or autoimmune diseases, one can still prevent thyroid problems related to iodine excess or deficiency.

In general, there are certain foods that can negatively affect the work of the thyroid.

1. Soy and Soy-Based Products

Soy and soybean products negatively affect the work of the thyroid — Pexels

There have been plenty of discussions regarding the negative effects of isoflavones – a compound found in soy products – on the work of this gland. In fact, isoflavones affect the body’s ability to absorb iodine and thyroid medications.

2. Raw Cruciferous Vegetables

Just like the soy products, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and kale – goitrogens – can reduce iodine absorption.

3. Gluten

Those suffering from autoimmune diseases, including Hashimoto’s – a form of autoimmune thyroiditis that causes hypothyroidism – should avoid gluten because it triggers inflammation and immune system flare-ups.

4. Refined Sugar

Refined sugar should be avoided by everyone. Among the rest, its consumption causes inflammation, increases insulin resistance, and can worsen symptoms of hypothyroidism such as weight gain, mood swings, and brain fog.

5. Processed and High-Sodium Foods

Processes foods are high in sodium, something people who suffer from hypothyroidism should avoid.

Hypothyroidism increases a person’s risk for high blood pressure and sodium consumption only further increases the risk.

6. Coffee (especially having it right after taking medications)

Who doesn’t enjoy a cup of fresh coffee? I guess most people love it, but those who take medications for thyroid conditions should avoid having coffee a few hours after taking medications because it reduces the medications’ absorption for 60%. It also diminishes the effects of the medications and slows down the process of recovery.

On the other hand, foods that are believed to help maintain a healthy thyroid are fatty fish rich in Omega-3 such as salmon and sardines, eggs, nuts and seeds, seaweed, and fruits rich in antioxidants such as berries, apples, and kiwi.

Girl, 5, died days after being misdiagnosed with a cold

By

Monica Pop

-

When 5-year-old Cathy Kassis was taken to the doctor’s office, doctors said she had cold and would soon recover. Sadly, that’s not what happened. Unfortunately, the little girl’s condition worsened as days passed by.

Her breathing became increasingly difficult and resembled “an asthma attack or the labored breath of someone with emphysema,” according to the girl’s mother, Jasmine.

When she was rushed to the emergency room, doctors once again failed to perform any bacterial tests. They just tested her for COVID-19 and RSV, and both tests turned out negative, so Cathy wasn’t prescribed any antibiotics.

Her health took a devastating turn for the second time. The reason why? Cathy had a rather common but potentially deadly bacterial infection: group A Streptococcus, or strep A, that doctors failed to diagnose.

Strep A is an infection that affects millions of children worldwide and can be treated with antibiotics.

If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, and even death.

Speaking of her daughter’s condition following the second hospital visit, Cathy’s stepfather, Justin, said, “She was going in and out of consciousness and had sort of collapsed in Jaz’s arms.” He explained that her lips turned blue and she lost consciousness so he performed CPR for 10 to 15 minutes until paramedics arrived.

Cathy was then airlifted to Westmead Children’s Hospital and doctors performed CPR on her for 78 minutes straight, but the lack of oxygen caused irreversible brain damage.

By the time the infection was identified, the girl’s body had gone into failure. The chances of recovery were almost nonexistent.

Cathy lost her life because doctors misdiagnosed her. Had they done tests right away, her life could have been saved.

“What I’ve said to everyone is we’re going to worry about those doctors later because that’s a fight for a different day,” Justin said, adding they hope no other parent should ever suffer such a heartbreaking loss.

Cathy’s parents donated her organs on Jersey Day, a national campaign promoting organ donation. It helped save three lives.

“I just want people to know who Cathy is and what she was able to do,” Jason said.

“She epitomises a real life superhero, and not many people can say that.

“Something that’s been the worst moment of our lives… At least she was able to save three other families, which is a beautiful thing.”

Lake Tahoe birthday boat outing turns tragic — 8 lives lost in sudden storm

By

Monica Pop

-

What was supposed to be a joyous birthday celebration turned into a devastating tragedy after eight people lost their lives when a boat capsized during a sudden storm on Lake Tahoe. Four of the victims were members of a same family.

Among the victims were Joshua Antony Pickles, a 37-year-old DoorDash executive, his mother Paula, whose 71st birthday they were celebrating, his father Terry, his uncle Peter Bayes. The rest of the victims were friends from California and New York, Timothy O’Leary, 66, of Auburn; Stephen Lindsay, 63, of Springwater, New York; and Theresa Giullari, 66, and James Guck, 69, of Honeoye, New York.

Two people managed to survive the ordeal.

Joshua Pickles and his parents, Paula Bozinovich and Terry Pickles

Witnesses claim the storm was fierce and fast. The waves reached up to ten feet and winds as strong as 30 knots.

As emergency calls started pouring in, a rescue operation involving the U.S. Coast Guard was launched immediately.

Joshua’s wife, Jordan Sugar-Carlsgaard, who stayed on shore with their infant daughter, expressed heartbreak over the loss.

“No words can express the pain and anguish we feel knowing their lives were lost during what was meant to be a joyful time on the lake,” she said in a shared family statement. “Our hearts go out to those who tragically lost their lives and the two survivors of this unexpected and deadly storm on Lake Tahoe.”

Joshua and Jordan bought the boat less than a year ago and only used it once before the tragic incident.

DoorDash chief financial officer, Ravi Inukonda, said in a statement, “Josh loved his team and was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

“During his nearly seven years at DoorDash, he brought a contagious spirit that lifted those around him.”

According to Matthew Chyba, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada, the thunderstorm far exceeded earlier forecasts as they only predicted a rainy afternoon, not expecting it to turn into such a violent storm. He added that the unusually low temperatures for this period of the year might have contributed to the unstable air mass.

Why Melania Trump skipped the baby shower of stepdaughter Tiffany Trump

By

Monica Pop

-

Tiffany Trump’s pregnancy was revealed in October when her father, businessman-turned-president Donald Trump, shared the news with the crowd at an event at the Detroit Economic Club.

CNN reported at the time that Trump said his daughter was a “very exceptional young woman” before adding that “she’s gonna have a baby. So that’s nice.”

Tiffany’s child would be Trump’s 11th grandchild.

Her mother, Marla Maples, and Donald Trump split in 1997, after which Tiffany stayed with her mom.

Marla wanted her daughter to grow up away from her father’s shadow and discover her own identity.

Although she didn’t grow up alongside her siblings, Tiffany has a close relationship with the rest of her father’s children, especially Ivanka Trump.

Although she stayed with her mother following her parents’ divorce, Tiffany followed in her father’s footsteps by attending the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 2016. However, unlike most of her siblings, she opted not to jump into real estate—instead, she stepped into the political spotlight, making appearances on the campaign trail and addressing the nation during the Republican National Convention.

“Like my father, I never back down from challenges, so here I am, a little new to the convention scene, but very honored and confident in the man America is coming to know,” Tiffany said.

In 2020, Tiffany graduated from Georgetown Law School and her father made sure he showed the world just how proud he was.

“Great student, great school,” Donald wrote on Twitter. “Just what I need is a lawyer in the family. Proud of you, Tiff!”

Back in 2004, while speaking of his children, Donald Trump made a rather awkward comment about Tiffany.

“You know I have another daughter, with Marla, named Tiffany?” Trump told New York Magazine. “She’s just a beautiful great kid also. But it’s very separate. When you have separate wives, it’s sort of … separate. Marla was a good person, as was Ivana. But I’m married to my business. It’s been a marriage of love. So, for a woman, frankly, it’s not that easy in terms of relationships. But there are a lot of assets.”

Marla Maples said that Trump’s statement about the relationship with his job was true.

“There were times when all of us wished we had more of Donald’s ear and his focus, especially when we’d have family dinners on Friday,” she said. “‘Can you turn off the financial news for a moment, please?’ But those kids always knew that he was unique in a way, that he’s got to run that company. I’ve watched that also with Tiffany. A lot of the fathers are here for all her basketball games, but she knows her dad loves her.”

According to a source close to Tiffany, the relationship between Donald and Tiffany has always been a strained one, and it turned even more awkward after he took office.

“Since the inauguration, Tiffany and her father have sometimes gone months without speaking, and she went a very long time without seeing him,” the source told People Magazine. “The last time she was at a family function with him, it was awkward for her, and she didn’t feel totally welcome.

“They always had a strained relationship her whole life, and it got exacerbated by the presidency,” the source continued. “It’s gotten much worse now.”

In April, Tiffany had a Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower planned by Ivanka Trump during which she wore a floor-length blue dress with floral embellishments and posed cradling her baby bump.

She captioned the photos: “1 month,” and added a bear and blue heart emojis.

However, while her half-sister Ivanka was the one organizing the event, Melania Trump didn’t show up. At the time, she was in New York with her son Barron Trump.

Sources close to the Trumps claim that Tiffany and Melania’s relationship is a close one, but that there wasn’t “any reason” for the First Lady to be there. Instead, Melania has her own schedule, even on weekends.” It seems like n o matter how well she gets along with her stepchildren, Melania always puts her son on the top of the list of her priorities.

The real-life crime drama of Woody Harrelson: Shocking truth about his dad

By

Monica Pop

-

Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson, best known for his memorable roles in Natural Born Killers, The Hunger Games, Cheers, and No Country for Old Men, learned of the criminal career of his dad when he was twelve.

Namely, the A-lister’s father, Charles Voyde Harrelson, was a hitman-for-hire convicted of the killing of federal judge John H. Wood Jr. in 1979 and sentenced to two life sentences.

According to Chron, he was involved with shady dealings, gambling, and committing armed robbery from early age.

Charles carried out the hit for $250,000 on behalf of a drug dealer awaiting trial. He was captured after a six-hour standoff with police. At the time, he confessed of the killing of the judge, who was the first federal judge to be killed in the 20th century, and to other multiple killings, including JFK’s, though that claim was widely dismissed.

Woody Harrelson’s father died in prison in 2007 and the actor was devastated although his father wasn’t part of his life while growing up.

In fact, the actor believed his father was innocent and requested a new trial for him, spending millions of dollars in the process.

“I think that it was not a fair trial … I’m not saying my father’s a saint but I think he’s innocent of that,” Woody said more than 20 years ago. What’s more, he believed his father worked as an undercover CIA agent and wasn’t the criminal everyone thought him to be.

Asked if he really believed his father worked for the CIA, he replied, “I shouldn’t get into this right now. This is where we’re going to get into trouble . . . I know it’s true.”

Charles Voyde Harrelson/ Houston Police Department

Charles Harrelson and Woody’s mother married just two weeks after they first met, and he left her and their three sons when Woody was just seven years old.

Speaking of the day he heard his father’s name in connection to the judge’s murder, Woody revealed to The Guardian, “I’m sitting there thinking there can’t be another Charles V. Harrelson. I mean, that’s my dad! It was a wild realization.

“I tried for years to get him out. To get him a new trial… just being a son trying to help his dad. Then I spent a couple of million beating my head against the wall. Lawyers upon lawyers.”

Despite his dad’s absence from most of Woody’s life, the two eventually reunited.

Before his father’s death, Woody Harrelson said in a TV interview, “How do I feel about him? Well I love him.

“I definitely love him. Very fond of him. I mean, there’s probably a lot of people who should be behind bars. I don’t necessarily think he’s one of them.”

Woman is diagnosed with cancer — believes a popular sandwich is to blame

By

Monica Pop

-

Lucie Morris-Marr, an investigative journalist and author of the book Processed, received a shocking bowel cancer diagnosis when she believed was in the best shape of her life. At the time of her diagnosis, Lucie felt fit and healthy.

“When you get a diagnosis like this… it’s still really shocking,” she told Nine to Noon.

“I was flying high, my book had just come out, I was invited to festivals and speeches. I was really excited and happy, and then all of it got cancelled and I felt like my identity had been cancelled.”

While receiving treatment for the stage-four bowel cancer, Lucie started researching more on the disease and was horrified to learn the the World Health Organization links processed meats with bowel cancer and classifies them in the same category as tobacco and alcohol.

“All that kept coming up was processed meats and the link with bowel cancer,” she said.

Thinking of her diet, Lucie believed she wasn’t really a big meat eater, but the more she reflected on her dietary choices, the more she realized she actually did consume processed meat.

“I started to go ‘I did like the prosciutto on the melon on the charcuterie boards, I did have the odd sausage at Bunnings’ and I started to think yes, it was in my diet,” she said. Eating bacon on Christmas and enjoying pepperoni pizza on Fridays hadn’t seem like a big deal, until she came to the realization that those choices might have contributed to her bowel cancer.

“I still, to this day, don’t claim that was the cause of my bowel cancer, because I’ll never know. There’s lots of other factors it can be. But I started to think, ‘Look it’s in the frame, it’s one of the suspects’ and I just felt very angry about it.

“Where were the warning labels? Where were the health campaigns?

“I’m not starting this food scare but someone needs to amplify it.”

WHO has labeled processed meats as a Group 1 carcinogen. Consuming just 50 grams of processed meat daily—or around two slices of bacon—can raise your bowel cancer risk by 18%. The more you eat, the higher the risk. This is due to the chemicals used during meat processing.

Processed meats contain nitrates and nitrites that turn harmful when cooked or digested.

On top of that, they are high in fat and sault which can easily lead to heart and blood pressure problems.

Lucie Morris-Marr believes that her story serves as a reminder that even your favorite sandwich can have a lasting effect on your health. She wants others to understand the dangers of processed meats and take control of their health.

Little girl stabs plane passenger with fork — gets shoe threat in return

By

-

A viral TikTok video shows a little girl on a 14 hour Qatar Airlines flight stabbing a random passenger with a metal fork while her mother is sound asleep. The video in question caused a stir on the social media with people taking sides, especially after the passenger reacted in what many would dub an “unorthodox” way.

The little girl, wearing a cute pink dress, could be seen standing in the aisle of the plane, holding a fork, while a female passenger tried to get the flight attendant’s attention about the situation.

“She’s over her stabbing people with forks,” the woman yells while her sister films the entire thing.

“She just randomly stabbed me with a fork,” the woman adds while holding her sandal in the air. “I’m going to f**k her up. I don’t know whose kid that is. I’d get her. I’m going to smack the s**t out of her.”

@donnitta_renee Replying to @D WHEN WE FINALLY GOT ATTENTION, They took the fork! My sister has no chill lmao #qatarairways #donnittarenee #flightkids ♬ original sound – Donnitta_Renee

In another clip, the woman’s sister, who posted the video of the incident on TikTok, revealed that when the girl’s mom woke up, she did nothing about her daughter’s behavior. What’s more, the mom allegedly tried to defend her daughter, saying that she probably just wanted to hand the fork to the woman, not stab her.

According to the second clip, before the fork incident, the girl was “terrorizing” another customer by messing with her TV remote, forcing the passenger to switch seats.

“Girl definitely came over there and stabbed my sister,” the woman who posted the video recounted. “I don’t know what to say. It was in between, do we jump her or do we beat the mama up?

“She was terrorizing us for almost seven hours on the plane,” the woman claimed. “… We never heard anything from the mom as far as sorry, thank you, anything like that towards us, towards the flight attendant… This 4-year-old is a menace.”

@donnitta_renee Replying to @netta🖤 WE WAS READY THOUGH #realtravelexperiences #donnittarenee #kidsbelike ♬ original sound – Donnitta_Renee

The initial TikTok video has been seen over 23 million times and has gathered a lot of comments.

“I’m the biggest HATER of other people’s kids. Please keep them away from me,” one person commented. “Who’s just letting their kid roam on a plane?” said another, while a third person added: “They definitely need to have kid-free planes.”

Washington’s new lead prosecutor wastes no time, secures major convictions

By

Monica Pop

-

Washington’s new lead prosecutor Jeanine Pirro is making headlines for all the right reasons. Two months into her new role, Pirro started restoring order in D.C. by making major arrests targeting gangs, offenders, and drug traffickers.

On Tuesday, Pirro announced that Jamiek “Onion” Bassil, 32, and Charles “Cheese” Manson, 34, were sentenced to over 130 months each in prison. The two have been charged with drug trafficking conspiracy that distributed fentanyl, crack cocaine and other drugs in Northeast D.C. They also faced charges related to the 2024 shooting in Northeast D.C.

According to Pirro, Bassil and Manson were members of the “21st and Vietnam” gang that ran a street-level drug business on Maryland Avenue NE. They sold illegal substances all over Washington D.C.

Manson was also involved in the shooting in Northeast D.C. on March 7, 2024. At the time of the incident, he wore a ski mask and opened fire on a passerby walking their dog. Luckily, no injuries were reported.

Police arrested him eight days later and found a loaded Glock 17, over 50 grams of fentanyl-type drugs, cocaine, and drug tools at his home.

Bassil admitted selling 80 grams of fentanyl to undercover agents.

15 people were arrested yesterday during a large-scale takedown operation involving MPD, DEA, FBI, and USAO after a months-long investigation into a violent crew suspected of distributing narcotics throughout DC from the Carver Langston neighborhood.https://t.co/1MmpLPky1R

— DC Police Department (@DCPoliceDept) May 16, 2024

“This is just the beginning,” said a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Criminal networks operating in the District should expect intense scrutiny and swift prosecution under Jeanine Pirro’s leadership.”

Another major case by Pirro and her team is the conviction of Taylor Taranto, 39. He livestreamed violent threats and admitted to crafting a “detonator” as he drove a weapon-filled van toward the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Maryland.

“On June 28, 2023, Taranto streamed a live video of himself while driving his van near National Harbor, Maryland. He told the crowd that he had been ‘working on a detonator’ and that he was going to drive a car bomb into the National Institute of Standards and Technology.”

He was found guilty on all charges.

What drying laundry indoors does to your lungs

By

Monica Pop

-

When it’s raining outside and the weather is cold, you may feel tempted to dry your clothes indoors. This is a actually something a lot of people do. In order to dry their clothes faster, they often use drying racks or drape them over warm radiators, unaware of the health risks this habit may cause.

According to research, drying clothes indoors during winter time may increase humidity inside your home by as much as 30%.

This, as a result, leads to perfect conditions for mould growth – especially aspergillus fumigatus, which may cause a life-threatening lung infection.

“Moist environments encourage the growth of mould which can release ‘seeds’ called spores,” says Pheena Kenny, of the Asthma Society of Ireland. “For some people with asthma who are sensitive to dust and mould spores, it can act as a trigger, causing asthma to get worse.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail, professor David Denning from the National Aspergillosis Centre in Manchester noted, “Most people have immune systems strong enough to handle exposure to [aspergillus fumigatus].

“But for individuals with asthma, it can cause increased coughing and breathing difficulties. And for those with compromised immunity, such as cancer patients on chemotherapy, individuals with autoimmune disorders, or people living with HIV/AIDS — the fungus can lead to a serious condition called pulmonary aspergillosis, which can cause permanent or even life-threatening lung and sinus damage.”

To better understand aspergillosis, NHS explains it is a condition caused by aspergillus mould that affects the lungs and causes difficulties breathing. Further, it causes sneezing, severe coughing, fever, and even coughing up blood. Its treatment requires antifungal medications. Severe cases include chest pain and weight loss.

It is not contagious and rarely affects healthy people, only those with compromised immune system.

Craig Mather, a 43-year-old father of three from Bolton, was diagnosed with a lung infection, which he believes he contracted from drying clothes indoors during the winter.

He already suffered from asthma and even had tuberculosis in the past.

“I started feeling better after my doctor diagnosed chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and prescribed antifungal treatments,” he explained.

“But I noticed my symptoms worsened whenever I dried laundry in the bedroom.”

When he stopped drying clothes indoors after a doctor advised him not to, his condition improved within a year.

Professor Denning says that if you must dry your clothes inside, make sure to keep windows open when the weather allows to let moisture escape, or use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity levels.

Prince William knew Meghan had ‘no intention’ of staying royal, expert claims

By

Monica Pop

-

The initial meeting between Prince William and Meghan Markle was said to be promising, with the two “clicking” right away.

William was very fond of her, although she believed at the time that the relationship between the two would be “trying” from the off, according to Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, authors of the Pro-Sussex biography Finding Freedom.

“She was self-aware enough to understand that the brothers were wary of women who were more interested in their titles than their wellbeing,” Scobie and Durand wrote in the book. “And she couldn’t have come from a more different world than that of William, his wife, and most of their friends.”

The first-ever encounter between William and Meghan was quite pleasant for both of them.

William was reported to have said to his brother’s girlfriend: “I was looking forward to meeting the girl who has put that silly grin on my brother’s face.”

However, despite the initial connection, William believed Harry was rushing things with Meghan and advised him to take it slow, which Harry didn’t like.

“William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan’s traits and motivations,” a source told the Daily Mail, as revealed by the Express.

“He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family.

The future king was said to have told his brother, “Don’t feel you need to rush this,” and “Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.” Allegedly, Harry got upset by the phrase “this girl.” However, all William wanted was “to make sure that Harry wasn’t blindsided by lust,” Omid Scobie wrote.

Eventually, William decided not to interfere. It was because he could see Meghan was trying to do adjustments in order to fit in the family.

Today, the relationship between William and Meghan is an entirely different story. Since she and Harry stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain behind, the relationship between the brothers turned into a rocky one. What added fuel to the fire were the numerous interviews both Harry and Meghan gave in which they accused the royals of a number of things, which obviously, the Palace didn’t like.

Royal biographer and commentator Phil Dampier told The Sun that William could sense Meghan’s plan of marrying into the royal family.

“I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I’ve been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the royal family,” Dampier told the Sun, in reference to what Queen Elizabeth’s confidante, Lady Elizabeth Anson, said of William’s concerns about Meghan marrying his brother. “She saw as a stepping stone getting married to Harry to new fame and fortune. And I think that’s what initially Prince William was concerned about.

“That’s why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the queen is really dynamite,” he added, claiming that the information he received had come “right from the horse’s mouth,” and was “very, very telling.”

Airport remains shut down following fireball plane crash

By

Monica Pop

-

London Southend Airport remains closed until further notice following a devastating plane crash that took place on Sunday, its chief executive Jude Winstanley said during a press conference.

It was shortly before 16:00 BST when the Essex Police was alerted to a 12-metre plane on fire at the site in the north of Southend-on-Sea, with the Dutch company Zeusch Aviation confirmed their SUZ1 flight being “involved in an accident.”

“We can confirm that Zeusch Aviation flight SUZ1 was involved in an accident today at London Southend Airport,” their statement read. “We are actively supporting the authorities with the investigation and will provide updates on this page as more information becomes available. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.”

According to reports, the plane departed Athens, the capital of Greece, and flew to Pula, Croatia, then to Southend. It was intended to return to Lelystad that evening.

John Johnson from Billericay, Essex, witnessed the plane crashing “head first into the ground” and turning into a “huge fireball.”

“You could see [the pilots] smiling and we all kind of smiled back. The aircraft then turned 180 degrees to face its take-off point, powered up its engines and powered past us, carrying on down the runway,” he told the BBC.

“It took off in probably three or four seconds. It started to bank heavily to its left.

“I said to my wife, ‘That’s unusual.’ We don’t find aircraft normally turning at that stage in their ascent.

“Within a few seconds of that, the aircraft almost inverted and hit the ground. There was a huge fireball.”

Fire crews from Southend, Rayleigh Weir and Basildon, along with off road vehicles from Billericay and Chelmsford arrived at the scene in no time.

A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service said: “Four ambulances, a rapid response vehicle, four Hazardous Area Response Team vehicles, three senior paramedic cars and Essex and Herts Air Ambulance were sent to Southend Airport responding to reports of an incident involving an airplane.”

Unfortunately, all four of the people who were on board lost their lives. Chief Superintendent Morgan Cronin said they believe the deceased were foreign nationals. Their identities haven’t been revealed yet.

The investigation regarding the reasons that led to the plane crashing is ongoing.

Her children Prince George and Princess Charlotte both took up the sport, and together, they attend the Wimbledon finals every year.

While Kate’s presence to the men’s finals delighted many, it also raised concerns about her health.

“That’s Odell. He was your squad partner. You were paired up for that mission,” she said.

Trump responded to the insults, referring to the comedian as a “fat pig,” “loser” and “disgusting.”

But, it seems like this resemblance is not limited to looks only — on the contrary, it looks like Charlotte also shares her grandma’s caring and loving nature.

Just like his mother did, William wants to expose his three children to the realities outside the royal bubble.

When he and Harry were young, Princess Diana took them to a homeless shelter, and now William intends to do the same with his own children.
