DIVORCED!! Prince William Finally Agrees to SPLIT from Kate After SHOCKING Threat from the Middletons!

Prince William has reportedly agreed to a separation from Catherine, Princess of Wales, following a shocking ultimatum from her family, the Middletons. This unexpected development has sent shockwaves through the monarchy and raised questions about the future of one of the most admired couples in the world.

According to insider reports, tensions have been simmering between the royal family and the Middletons for some time. The catalyst for this dramatic split appears to be a controversial threat made by Carole Middleton, Catherine’s mother, who allegedly expressed her discontent with the way William has treated her daughter. Sources suggest that Carole, known for her strong opinions and protective nature, felt compelled to step in when it became clear that William and Catherine’s marriage was under strain.

“Carole made it clear that if William couldn’t commit to supporting Catherine fully, she would not hesitate to pull back her support,” said a close source. “This ultimatum caught William off guard, and he realized he had to make a choice.”

 

 

Caught between duty to the crown and loyalty to his family, Prince William found himself in a difficult position. The pressure of royal responsibilities combined with the expectations of the Middleton family created an unbearable strain on the couple’s relationship. Friends of the prince reveal that he has been grappling with the weight of these expectations, leading him to consider the unimaginable: a separation from Catherine.

“This isn’t just a marital issue; it’s a family affair,” explained a royal expert. “William has always prioritized his family, but the Middletons are asserting themselves in a way that’s making him question his role as both a husband and a future king.”

Meanwhile, sources close to Catherine say she is heartbroken by the unfolding drama. Known for her grace and poise, the Princess of Wales has reportedly been struggling with the tension between her husband and her family. Friends have noted that she has been visibly upset, torn between her loyalty to William and her desire to maintain peace with her family.

David Beckham was watching his side, Inter Miami, take on Atlanta United in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Friday with wife, Victoria, daughter, Harper, and son, Cruz

David Beckham’s daughter, Harper, hilariously grimaced when her proud dad planted a kiss on her cheek on Friday.

The former footballer, 49, had taken his wife, Victoria, 50, Harper, 13, and son, Cruz, 19, to watch his side, Inter Miami, take on Atlanta United in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Harper, who is David’s only daughter, is a regular at Miami’s matches and the England star couldn’t resist putting his arms around the teen and giving her a kiss yesterday. However, Harper pulled a funny face after the PDA, as she watched Miami cruise to a win.

Her brother, Cruz, opted for a laid back look in a dark brown hoodie with a green baseball cap as he enjoyed the star-studded match alongside dad, David, who was suited and booted for the game, which Miami won 2-1.

It comes after the multi-millionaire was spotted pulling into his new £55m mansion in Florida, driving a £227,000 McLaren 720S Coupe. The palatial pad, which David reportedly paid for in cash, has been bought with the intention of the family being to spend as much time there “as possible”. The property contains a 124ft pool with a cinema and a designated kitchen for the chef.

An insider privy to the Beckham’s plans said of the purchase to the Mirror: “David and Victoria are loaded but buying a £55.6million house with cash is impressive. They adore it and want to spend as much time there as possible. It’s their dream property and the culmination of all their hard work.”

Photographs show the mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay, a lagoon on the Atlantic coast of Florida. It has nine bedrooms, in addition to a large cinema room.

The Beckhams were said to be worth more than £450million at the start of this year – with David raking it in from brand partnerships and licensing deals and Victoria’s fashion firm finally showing profits.

However, the Beckhams’ new purchase comes in the wake of a scandal involving Inter Miami CF, a side only founded in 2018. FIFA has decided to hand Inter Miami a place in the Club World Cup.

Infantino was delighted to announce the decision to Inter Miami fans after their side were crowned MLS Eastern Conference champions. But it has not gone down well with the other MLS sides, who have accused FIFA of favouritism.

The Pride of Britain Awards, sponsored by TSB, were held on Monday and were hosted by Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo – with a host of stars in attendance

Actress Kym Marsh was moved to tears when she presented incredible midwife Agnes Nisbett with an award at the Daily Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards this week.

The yearly event celebrated its 25th anniversary on Monday night, with the UK’s fundraisers, awe-inspiring children, community heroes, young achievers and brave people being recognised with well-deserved awards. The night, hosted at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Monday, saw a host of stars celebrating the achievements.

One of the winners, Agnes Nisbett, was made the Community Hero thanks to her years of dedication to grieving mothers. The 87-year-old was a young midwife when she went through the heartbreak of stillbirth in 1973 and went on to provide women who experienced the same thing a sanctuary for grieving.

When Agnes returned to work many years ago after losing her son John, she was desperate to make a change as she had no keepsakes of him. She pioneered the Born Whilst Sleeping programme at Leicester Royal Infirmary and set aside a room for women where they could grieve away from other mums and their newborns in the main maternity ward. She also encouraged mothers to take photographs and palm prints to serve as treasured keepsakes.

The entire room was in tears watching Agnes’ story, with host Carol Vorderman telling Agnes that ‘two women grateful to you’ was going to present her award. Kym Marsh and Sue Johnston walked up on stage and were emotional as they thanked Agnes for her years of hard work.

Kym, who experienced the tragic loss of her child herself, was in tears as she told Agnes: “From one mother who has experienced baby loss to another, thank you. My son would have been 16 next year and there is no doubt you made the experience more bearable so from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.”

The mum-of-three, 48, and her ex-husband Jamie Lomas were heartbroken when their baby boy died in 2009 after being born prematurely at 21 weeks. Speaking previously about her loss, she shared: “It was the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. I was absolutely devastated. It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever felt.”

Monday night saw the Pride of Britain Awards host a number of A-listers to tears as they honoured the country’s unsung heroes. Celebrating a quarter-century of touching tributes, the glittering gala spotlighted community champions, remarkable fundraisers, brave youngsters and real-life rescuers, thanks to public nominations whittled down by a panel.

The winners were held at London’s luxurious Grosvenor Hotel with dinner and accolades presented by veteran hosts Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo, who’ve teamed up for the past five years. It was a star-studded evening with guests including Pete Wicks, Sam Thompson, Strictly’s shining stars, Simon Cowell and a bevy of other celebs, all moved by the powerful occasion.

During a discussion about friendship, Loose Women stars Coleen Nolan and Brenda Edwards reacted to suspicions they didn’t get along off-screen, speaking of their real-life bond

Coleen Nolan was surprised when Brenda Edwards told her their differences had sometimes led people to believe they were embroiled in a full-blown feud.

Taking the helm of ITV’s Loose Women, Coleen, 59, hosted a special “prom” instalment of the programme, showing up to the studio alongside co-stars Katie Piper, Brenda Edwards and Frankie Bridge dressed to the nines in a sequined navy blue dress and chic up-do.

The presenter kicked off this Wednesday’s episode – shortened to half an hour due to horse racing – with a conversation around friendship, prompting Brenda, 55, to confess her “unlikely” friendship with Coleen was significant to her.

Coleen asked: “What is your most significant friendship?” to which the former X Factor star said: “Unlikely, with you”, leaving a surprised Coleen to retort: “Well, I don’t know where that’s coming from.”

Brenda admitted this Wednesday on Loose Women that some viewers didn’t expect her to be on good terms with Coleen Nolan (

Brenda went on to explain that the feud was only theorised by certain fans of their show. “A lot of people come to me and they keep saying ‘ so are you really friends with Coleen?’

“I think they think I’m so serious and you’re so funny so we can’t mix”, she added. “Are you serious? Well, that’s where they’re going wrong”, muttered Coleen, sipping from her mug.

The pair dismissed these suspicions with Brenda saying: “It surprises me when people say that because I think you’re lovely.” Coleen concluded: “We have got a really good friendship.”

But while Coleen and Brenda are on good terms, feuds have often shaken things up behind the Loose Women scenes and rumours of behind-the-scenes disagreements are far from recent.

Kaye Adams, who has recently taken a break from the panel due to her health, once told Metro.co.uk that tensions between hosts do sometimes exist.

She admitted that “there have” been times of tension between hosts, adding: “I’m not going to deny that there are occasions when people maybe have a bit of a beef with somebody else but it’s nothing that hasn’t been fixable.”

Kaye then added that no host ever refused to work with any one of their co-stars: “There’s nobody who will walk out of the door when somebody else walks in. Nobody refuses to work with anybody else.”

Back in 2022, reports also alleged that several Loose Women stars had refused to work with Coleen Nolan after it was reported she and her agent had clashed with co-star Nadia Sawalha.

However, an ITV spokesperson soon denied the rumour at the time, saying: “This story is untrue. Panellists are chosen for each show by the Loose Women Editor and senior production team, not the panellists themselves.”

Coleen herself had also spoken out on social media, most notably on X: “Nothing printed in The Mail article today is true & I am taking legal advice about the slurs on me personally. We’ll also be addressing it on @loosewomen. Thanks for your support. Love Coleen.”

Coleen Nolan, Brenda Edwards and their Loose Women co-stars celebrated a prom episode of their daytime show, prompting Katie Piper to reveal their dates to the rest of the studio

Two George Clooney and David Beckham lookalikes were invited to share the spotlight with Brenda Edwards and Coleen Nolan but viewers had nothing good to say about them.

Taking the helm of Loose Women, Coleen, 59, hosted a special “prom” instalment of the programme, showing up to the studio alongside co-stars Katie Piper, Brenda Edwards and Frankie Bridge dressed to the nines in a sequined navy blue dress and chic up-do this Wednesday.

But as the instalment drew to a close, paving the way for horse racing to take over ITV’s daytime schedule, Katie announced she had organised surprise dates for Brenda and Coleen.

Coleen met a George Clooney lookalike, dubbed ‘George Cloney’
Katie beamed in a red gown as she announced: “Please welcome Coleen your prom date, George Cloney. And Brenda, we didn’t you’d be able to resist his golden balls, it’s David Peckhim!”

Two men appeared in the studio, suited up and somewhat resembling the A-listers, but viewers at home took to X, otherwise known as Twitter, unimpressed.

“When you order George Clooney and David Beckam off Temu”, one of them quipped, while a second added: “Fella in a plastic Beckham mask.”

A third amused TV watcher chipped in: “David Beckham? More like David Peckham”, just as another slammed the “Worst lookalikes ever!” One final fan chimed in: “He looks sod all like George Clooney nor does the other one look like David Beckham.”

Brenda, on the other hand, was approached by a David Beckham lookalike
Minutes into the show, Coleen and Brenda reacted to suspicions they could be embroiled in a full-blown feud behind the Loose Women scenes. Coleen asked: “What is your most significant friendship?” to which the former X Factor star said: “Unlikely, with you”, leaving a surprised Coleen to retort: “Well, I don’t know where that’s coming from.”

Brenda went on to explain that the feud was only theorised by certain fans of their show. “A lot of people come to me and they keep saying ‘ so are you really friends with Coleen?’

“I think they think I’m so serious and you’re so funny so we can’t mix”, she added. “Are you serious? Well, that’s where they’re going wrong”, muttered Coleen, sipping from her mug.

The pair dismissed these suspicions with Brenda saying: “It surprises me when people say that because I think you’re lovely.” Coleen concluded: “We have got a really good friendship.”

Messi and Suarez’s absence from the MLS All-Star game (taking place at 7am on July 25 and accompanying events) gives them valuable time to enjoy a well-deserved vacation,

after playing continuously from the beginning of the year until the Copa America that just ended recently.

During this time, Inter Miami, after a series of 7 consecutive matches, winning 6 and losing only 1, to continue to lead the MLS Eastern Conference rankings

with 53 points after 25 matches, will also have a short break before returning to play the Leagues Cup group stage matches from July 28.

Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, along with Suarez’s family and friends, had a much-needed break and relaxation in Florida (USA).

The images of Messi enjoying his days off, posted by his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo on social network Instagram, have recently caused a stir among viewers.

Many people were surprised to see Messi still wearing protection on his injured right ankle while on vacation, despite his rapid recovery. According to Marca (Spain): “The fact that Messi is still wearing protection on his ankle does not mean that his injury is more serious than expected. It is just a precautionary measure, to avoid collisions and will help the injury recover on schedule”.

Messi and Suarez are expected to return to play for Inter Miami from early August, possibly in the Leagues Cup group stage matches.

Meanwhile, Messi’s long-time rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, is also having a long vacation with his family in an area on the Red Sea, before returning to focus on Al Nassr Club to compete in the Saudi Pro League (Saudi Arabia).

Ronaldo and the Portuguese team said goodbye early in the quarter-finals of EURO 2024. The 39-year-old player determined that it would be the last EURO of his career, but left open the possibility of retirement. He will still play with Al Nassr in the 2024-2025 season, and is ready to negotiate a contract extension until June 2026. It is likely that Ronaldo still intends to play for the Portuguese team in the 2026 World Cup, when he is 41 years old.

David Beckham hopes his Netflix documentary shines a light on the importance of mental health.

The 49-year-old former soccer star faced a huge amount of criticism from fans

and pundits during his playing days, and David hopes that some lessons have been learned from his experience.

The former England captain – who released ‘Beckham’ in 2023 – told Variety: “I think that my takeaway from my documentary was how important mental health is.

Because, 20 years ago, nobody was talking about it. And nobody was taking it seriously.

“Now, it’s so great that people can actually talk about their feelings.”

David confessed to being hurt by some of the comments made about himself and his wife, Victoria.

He shared: “There were many things said about us over the 27 years. It can be hurtful.”

Despite this, David recognises that he still has a lot to be “thankful for”.

The sporting icon – who played for the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid – said: “I was never one of these people that was going to sit back and complain.

“I was very fortunate to live the life that I did through my career. And I’m so thankful for that.”

Meanwhile, David has admitted to feeling proud of his children, insisting that they’re not affected by their own fame.

The soccer legend observed that his kids are all “humble” and “passionate” people.

David – who has Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12, with Victoria – said: “They’re humble, hardworking, passionate. They’ve got drive. And ultimately, they’re good human beings.

“Living the life that they’ve lived, living in different countries, being around the whole circus that went on for our life, they could have been a lot different.”

Christine Lampard had to step in and issue an apology to Loose Women viewers as Linda Robson swore during her interview

Linda Robson joined stand-in Lorraine host Christine Lampard on Friday to discuss a number of topics including her dream soap role, family life and supporting NHS workers.

But the host had to issue an apology when Linda revealed which soap she most wanted to work on.

Christine remarked: “There’s one thing on the list and it’s EastEnders isn’t it?”

“Oh yeah, I did do one wartime one Sibby Street years ago, I played Lou Bill’s sister Flo Bill but I have hinted a few times that even a little cameo role or whatever but I’d love to play a real b***h,” Linda replied.

Linda Robson scolded as she swears live on Lorraine and asks ‘is that a bad word?’

Christine began laughing as Linda continued: “Or someone really nasty because I always get light parts.”

The host cut in: “You know it’s a funny thing because I thought, she knows it’s early morning, she’s not allowed to swear for me and you just let a little one slip so I’m sorry if no one likes that word.”

“What the B word?” asked Linda, as Christine scolded: “Don’t say any other words!”

The Loose Women host replied: “I didn’t realise it was a bad word,” as Christine explained they often had to tell her not to swear on Loose Women.

Linda’s appearance comes after she opened up on Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford’s split from Eamonn Holmes. Speaking at the National Reality TV Awards, she told OK!: “We’re staying out of it because it’s not our business but we’re supporting her in any way we can and just keeping her happy. It’s sad for the both of them but just keeping her spirits high.”

Ruth returned to hosting duties on Loose Women last month but failed to address the split live on air.

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes announced their split in May after 14 years of marriage, and now Ruth’s Loose Women co-star Linda Robson has opened up on how she is doing

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes decided to part ways after 14 years of marriage, a decision announced back in May.

Linda Robson, Ruth’s colleague on Loose Women, has now opened up about how she’s been there for Ruth during this tough time. Speaking at the National Reality TV Awards, 66-year-old Linda shared that Ruth is “keeping her spirits high” following the breakup.

“We’re staying out of it because it’s not our business but we’re supporting her in any way we can and just keeping her happy. It’s sad for the both of them but just keeping her spirits high,” she told OK! Magazine at last night’s ceremony.

Post-split, Eamonn, 64, who is now with GB News, seems to be finding solace with counsellor Katie Alexander, 42. Meanwhile, Ruth has been immersing herself in her work commitments.

The former couple, parents to 22-year-old Jack, have remained quite private about their separation, offering only a brief official statement which read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

Speculation had been rife about the state of their relationship as they hadn’t been seen together for some time before the confirmation of their divorce. Although neither Ruth nor Eamonn have publicly disclosed the reasons behind their split, there’s been plenty of gossip about what might have led to the end of their union.

Ruth’s role as a ‘carer’ rather than wife has been highlighted due to Eamonn’s ongoing health struggles, with one insider revealing the strain it’s put on their marriage. Eamonn has faced a tough time with his health, having had spinal surgery in 2022 and a double-hip replacement in 2016, which Ruth has acknowledged as affecting their dynamic.

Linda is also familiar with the challenges of a public breakup, having recently ended her 33-year marriage to Mark Dunford. Addressing the rumours last November, Linda declared “Enough is enough” and assured everyone she was “fine”.

In an interview with Woman magazine, Linda opened up: “He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough. I’ve got my family and my kids around me.”

The couple, who tied the knot in 1990, share two children, Louis, 31, and Roberta, 27. Linda, who also has daughter Lauren, 40, from a previous relationship with Tony Tyler, expressed her disinterest in dating: “I’m not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a***d with all that”.

Meghan Markle made a dazzling appearance in the Whistler ski resort in British Colombia yesterday, thanks to the reappearance of her £140,000 engagement ring.

The Duchess has not been seen publicly wearing the glittering band, comprising one huge Botswana diamond and two from Princess Diana‘s collection since May 2023.

Her ring was conspicuously absent at recent events, such as the premiere of Bob Marley biopic One Love in Kingston, Jamaica last month, and her attendance at the Variety’s Power of Women gala in November 2023.

According to People magazine the reason behind the ring’s long hiatus is that a setting came loose and it needed to be serviced.

Prince Harry proposed to Meghan in November 2017, with the ring comprising of a solid yellow gold band set with three diamonds, but Meghan has made several tweaks to the design since.

The Duchess of Sussex smiled as she held her hand up to her face during an afternoon in Whistler, BC – showing off her engagement ring as she did so

As she appeared on the slopes with Prince Harry (plus their cameraman) and larked about on skis, the Duchess’s dazzling diamond complemented a chic winter outfit.

She donned a quilted cream coat from Calvin Klein costing $295, layered on top of a $695 cashmere jumper from CO.

Ensuring her feet were toasty in the freezing Whistler temperatures, the Duchess wore a pair of furry boots from Sorel – quirkily named the Joan of Arctic design.

However, the Duchess’s stunning rock was the star of the outfit, and instead of covering up her hands with a pair of heavy-duty gloves, she proudly displayed the ring on her finger.

It is the first time mother-of-two Meghan has been spotted wearing the band for around nine months amid reports she was having it fixed.

She has instead been spotted wearing different, subtle yet chic rings on her finger – such as when she had lunch in California with her pals Cleo Wade and Kadi Lee. They are believed to be her wedding band and an eternity ring.

Harry waves to cheering fans as he and Meghan depart Whistler

During the Invictus Games in Germany last September, the Duchess was still without her engagement ring – but made up for its absence with a Shiffon and Co. pinky ring on her little finger.

In May, the Duchess was spotted hiking without her husband Prince Harry near their $14million Montecito mansion – hours after missing King Charles’ coronation.

Meghan was joined on the fresh-air outing by her friends, Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak, in California after celebrating her son Archie’s birthday.

However she was not wearing her glittering diamond ring for the occasion.

Later that month, the jewels were missing for a second time as she arrived at the Ms Foundation for Women’s 50th anniversary event at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Manhattan.

During the event, Meghan was simply wearing her wedding band, which is in yellow gold to match Prince Harry’s, and an eternity ring, which she began wearing after her son Archie was born. It’s unknown why the ring was missing.

The tennis pinky ring, which is 18 carats and set in white-gold, retails for $2,800.

At the time of their engagement, the Duke spoke about creating Meghan’s ring with the help of jewellers Cleave and Company.

The custom design featured one diamond originally from Botswana (where the couple took a trip for their second date) and two smaller stones from Princess Diana’s collection.

At the time, he said: ‘The ring is obviously yellow gold because that’s [Meghan’s] favourite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother’s jewellery collection, to make sure that she’s with us on this crazy journey together.’

Meghan called it ‘incredible’, explaining: ‘Everything about Harry’s thoughtfulness and the inclusion of [Princess Diana’s stones] and obviously not being able to meet his mom, it’s so important to me to know that she’s a part of this with us.’

‘It’s incredibly special to be able to have this [ring], which sort of links where you come from and Botswana, which is important to us. It’s perfect.’

However the Duchess chose not to wear her engagement ring for a number of public engagements back in 2019 while pregnant with her son Archie.

When she appeared at Trooping the Colour that year, it emerged Meghan had altered the custom made engagement ring that Prince Harry designed for her.

At Trooping the Colour and at her Windsor Castle photo call with Prince Harry and newborn son Archie, the Duchess wore her three engagement diamonds set on a thin micro-pavé band.

Jewellery expert Arabel Lebrusan confirmed the ring had changed, and suggested it had been tweaked to make the original diamonds look bigger.

Arabel, owner the ethical jewellery brand Arabel Lebrusan, called the thinner band a popular trend, revealing: ‘Many celebrities do this, as the central stone looks bigger in comparison getting the wow factor.’

The jewellery expert pointed out the difference in the band, saying: ‘She now has little diamonds set down the sides of her engagement ring and the band also seems thinner than before.’

She also revealed that the glittering band only emphasised the Meghan’s diamonds, and added: ‘The diamond setting on the band looks like micro-set, this means there is very little metal in between the stones maximising the sparkle of the tiny diamonds.’

Arabel continued that she thought the new style suited the Duchess’ style ‘perfectly’, saying: ‘It does suit her style perfectly, and it fits her dainty fingers as well.’

Leora Moreno, owner of jewellery brand Leo With Love, said at the time the changes could have been changed to match Meghan’s eternity ring.

She explained: ‘It looks like the eternity ring has a channel pavé setting. The engagement ring looks to have an even smaller pavé setting, but perfectly matches the eternity band.’

The jeweller went on to explain the change may have been complex, saying that it required ‘fine skill and craftsmanship to change the band to something more delicate like a pavé setting.’

She added that that the modern style would suit Meghan for ‘years to come’ and was ‘the perfect combination of eye-catching and dainty’.

In 2022’s Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie claimed it was the Duke who altered Meghan’s ring.

In the biography, jeweller-to-the-stars Lorraine Schwartz said: “‘He’s the loveliest person ever. So romantic, so thoughtful.’”

The authors continued: ‘(So much so that Harry also thought to have Lorraine resize and reset Meghan’s engagement ring with a new diamond band.)’
