Tears Flow as Prince William Receives Oncologist’s Update on Kate Middleton

The British monarchy has faced significant turbulence in the past two years, marked by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and ongoing controversies involving Prince Harry. Now, a new concern looms following recent revelations about the health of the Princess of Wales. A royal insider has provided updates confirming the rumors surrounding her health, which have sparked considerable speculation in recent weeks. 

Princess Catherine’s decision to keep her health struggles private initially surprised many. It was revealed she underwent abdominal surgery, subsequently diagnosed with cancer. The palace’s minimal disclosure fueled numerous conspiracy theories, leaving the public clamoring for more information. Fans worldwide remain anxious about her well-being and eagerly await news of her recovery and potential return.

Recently, Catherine’s doctor delivered an update that moved Prince William to tears. Sources close to the couple revealed William’s deep emotional turmoil over Catherine’s health and the possibility of her wanting to step back from royal duties. Despite the challenges, Catherine has shown remarkable bravery throughout her journey, with Prince Charles offering unwavering support despite his own private sadness.

Dr. Gregory, a leading cancer specialist, shared a positive update on Catherine’s progress, noting her positive response to chemotherapy. He suggested that detecting the cancer early after surgery could bode well for her recovery. Catherine’s treatment plan includes multiple rounds of chemotherapy over several months, indicating her strong resolve and the encouraging signs of improvement.

The Princess of Wales made a poignant return to public life during the Royal Family’s Trooping the Colour celebration in June 2024. Her presence alongside her children in a glass-enclosed carriage and on the Buckingham Palace balcony was a testament to her determination and support for King Charles, whom she shares a close bond with amid their shared health challenges.

Catherine’s ongoing presence at such public events not only strengthens the monarchy’s public image but also serves as an inspiring symbol of resilience and dedication. Her openness about her health journey offers hope and courage to others facing similar struggles, underscoring her role as a beacon of strength within the royal family and beyond.

Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan was not impressed with Josie Gibson and Nella Rose’s conversation on I’m A Celebrity last night as they praised the ‘real men’ in the camp

Josie Gibson and Nella Rose’s conversation about “real men” sparked ire among one Loose Women panellist, who admitted that she was “fuming” after hearing the remarks.

During last night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity, YouTuber Nella and This Morning star Nella discussed the more traditional roles that the men had taken on in camp. “The men are supposed to go out, hunt, get the wood, make the fire whilst the women keep the vibes,” Nella said to Josie as they burst out laughing.

“It’s giving me faith in men again,” Josie quipped. Nella added: “Yeah! Imagine if it was a bunch of men my age – they’d be like, ‘Why are they the only ones getting the water, bruv?’ These are real men.”

Laughing about the moment in the studio, host Charlene White said to co-star Coleen Nolan: “Now, Col, this got you going, didn’t it?”

Nella Rose and Josie Gibson left I’m A Celeb fans unimpressed with their comments

“Oh, I was fuming,” Coleen confessed shaking her head. When asked why, she replied: “Because I feel sorry for men! They don’t know where they stand anymore! One minute we’re saying, ‘We’re all equal, everything should be equal, nobody should be opening doors for no one, no one should be standing up for anyone. And now you’ve got – who I love by the way – Josie and Nella… you’ve got them in there going, ‘These are real men, I wish men were all like this.’ I just thought, ‘Give men a break! Let them know what you want them to do!’

“I am quite old fashioned and I always used to love it when I was on a train and it was full and a man would stand up and give me a seat and I’d think, ‘Oh, that’s so nice and lovely.’ I know that my boys would do that. But I realise now that women wanted equal rights and everything, so I’ve joined that club now and I’ve tried not to moan about it. But then that happens and even I’m confused now and I’m not a man!”

Fans were not hugely impressed with the conversation either, with one commenting: “Not a fan of the ‘real men’ comments from Josie and Nella in regards to the men doing all the work around camp – imagine if two guys watched the girls cook dinner and said ‘yeah these are real women’ #Imaceleb.” While another remarked: “Sigh.. Nella and Josie setting women back #ImaCeleb.” A third wrote: “Nella and Josie. Men collecting logs doesn’t make them gentlemen. How you leave others after an experience with you is how you get your trademark #ImACeleb #moderngentleman.”

Denise Welch’s followers alerted the Metropolitan Police to Piers Morgan’s latest column about Prince Harry and his family following the Loose Women star sharing an extract on Twitter

Denise Welch has reignited her feud with long-time foe Piers Morgan following the Good Morning Britain presenter’s review of a new book about the Royal Family.

The Loose Women panellist, 65, took to social media on Tuesday morning to share an extract of Morgan’s furious column about Omid Scobie and his new book, Endgame. Scobie, who denies being a close friend of Meghan Markle but is often described as a “mouthpiece” for the Duchess of Sussex, makes several juicy revelations about the Royal Family in his new literary offering.

Within his review, alongside taking several swipes at Scobie, Morgan, 58, claims the release of Endgame will further damage Prince Harry’s relationship with his family and randomly tells the Duke of Sussex to “to heed the warning of Dionysius the Tyrant who was left a broken man by his constant warmongering and got finally bumped off by his own fed-up family.”

“I can’t speak for Charles, Camilla, William, or Kate, but if two close members of my family had spent the past few years trashing the rest of us on global media platforms, the only way I’d want to spend Christmas with them is if they were human chestnuts roasting on my open fire,” Morgan writes in his scathing Sun column.

The former Good Morning Britain presenter then goes on to rather oddly conclude his piece with: “Harry would do well to heed the warning of Dionysius the Tyrant who was left a broken man by his constant warmongering and got finally bumped off by his own fed-up family.”

Taking to Twitter (X) on Tuesday morning, former Coronation Street actress Denise shared the extract of Morgan’s lengthy column with her followers and wrote: “Today’s piece by Piers Morgan. Yet again totally justifying Harry’s decision to move away and protect his wife.

Denise’s followers were equally disgusted with Morgan’s comments, with some even tagging London’s Metropolitan Police’s Twitter account in their replies and asking why the presenter’s column is not being investigated. “He made a death threat but @metpoliceuk is not investigating it,” one wrote, with another adding: “@metpoliceuk once again why are you not approaching piers. This is a threat.”

“It’s amazing what these people get away with. I mean not surprising but still shocking to see in broad daylight,” another Twitter user added to the conversation in Denise’s replies, with one declaring: “Harry has been treated as a ‘spare’ by the U.K. monarchy/establishment from he was a wee boy. No wonder he’s angry and bitter.”

Ahead of his book being released on Tuesday, Endgame author Scobie took to social media last week to implore his followers to read his book in full rather than just extracts. The journalist told his Twitter followers on Friday: “Whether you like my work or loathe it, all I ask is that if you are reading coverage about what’s supposedly inside #ENDGAME, please also read the book itself. Incorrect and bad translations, snippets without context, leaks etc. do not tell the full or accurate story. Thank you.”

Morgan quote-tweeted Scobie’s message on Tuesday night, telling his followers and the Endgame author: “UPDATE: I’ll be exposing this shameless lying lickspittle in a new column posting today.” In the aforementioned column, Morgan raged: “Omid Scobie is a weaselly lickspittle making money by peddling garbage about the royals. I know for a fact Endgame is full of lies.”

Prince William makes shocking revelation of ‘manipulative’ Diana chat laid bare

Prince William shocks fans with his shocking revelation about the ‘truth’ behind Princess Diana’s chat with Martin Bashir.

The Sunday Times made Prince William’s thoughts public and accused the BBC of not having “gone far enough” to question the legitimacy of the Panorama interview.

He believed there was “ a lot of hurt and pain” involved and branded it sheer manipulation.

Princess Diana’s brother also has similar views and told the Daily Mail, “The agonising lies that she was told by the BBC before their cameras finally rolled ensured that she came into that Panorama interview with a very skewed and false view of the situation she was in, having been lied to repeatedly.”

This revelation comes shortly after Lord Dyson shared his own findings about BBC’s Martin Bashir interview dubbed it “deceitful behaviour” that aimed only to secure headlines and ended up “falling short of high standards of integrity an transparency.”

Loose Women star Sophie Morgan is online dating again and is on the search for the perfect partner after opening up on what it’s like to date as a person with a disability

Sophie Morgan, 38, has worked in TV for almost 20 years and has had regular stints on Loose Women.

As we mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities today, she talks about campaigning and why she loves getting out of her comfort zone: This year has been big for me. I’ve had so many dream-come-true moments – I rode across America on a Can-Am Spyder, set up a new company and even had my own TV series, Living Wild: How To Change Your Life on Channel 4, which was about taking control of your life and living it on your own terms. The series was about travel primarily, so I loved that it didn’t centre on my disability.

I’ve also launched a campaign called Rights on Flights, for better treatment of disabled people when we fly. In February, my wheelchair and power attachment were broken when I was flying home from a work trip.

Like most disabled people, I want to just be living my life but when things like this happen it impossible to do that. And it happens so often, to so many of us. The fact is, I need to travel – for work, as a travel writer and for pleasure – but every time I fly there seems to a problem. When they break our chairs it’s like they’ve broken our legs. After that, life just stops.

Sometimes I question whether or not I am using my voice in the most effective way. There are so many barriers facing disabled people, and being able to fly at all is a privilege. But it’s a human right and, after all, we all need to be fully part of society.

Additionally, I am addicted to travelling. I love getting out of my comfort zone, going to new places and feeling free. I’ve always wanted that feeling of disappearing into the world -– anonymity and meeting new people and discovering yourself. I live for it.

I particularly love being in America because access is so much better there. The laws created for disabled people are more widely enforced so I find myself in a very different frame of mind. I’m much happier and less anxious, and the domino effect of that is I work better and live better.

I also feel like I can date again. I would never date in the UK because of the ableism I experience – for example the anxiety of somebody planning a first date in a place where I can’t get in or use the loo. In America it feels less intimidating and more possible, so I’m excited to spend more time there and see what’s possible.

My main goal in life is to make space for disabled people. After 20 years of working my ass off, I feel I finally have the platform I need and that thankfully, people are listening. So I have to do something with that.

One thing I’m doing in the States is working with my new company, Making Space, which I’ve set up with my business partner, Keely Cat-Wells. We’re both determined to increase representation of disabled people in employment and entertainment. I feel like I won the lottery working with Keely. She’s incredible.

We’ve recently partnered with US TV channel NBC. I had the joy of delivering training to a selection of aspiring disabled presenters for NBC earlier this year. I think it was the greatest sense of achievement I’ve ever had, being able to pass on what I’ve learnt in the 20 years since I became disabled and started working in telly to the next generation of disabled talent. Making Space is creating lasting change.

We’re also working with Netflix and our production company, Making Space Media, has partnered with Reese Witherspoon’s production company, Hello Sunshine, too. Our productions will aim to centre disabled voices.

The younger generation of disabled people makes me so excited. They have so much less internalised ableism and so much more disability pride – something I’m only getting now. They already know their value, so it’s about helping them be heard.

It’s not all work, though. I see my family and friends a lot and obviously travel a lot. I’ve also got an art studio that I’m working on, so I’m going to start painting again. I listen to music – I’m learning to mix – and I’m learning to tattoo at the moment as well. I’m obviously tired. But I feel we’re at a precipice, me personally, and also the general community. I can’t help feeling there’s something in the air. It’s not tokenism, but a genuine drive towards inclusion. So I won’t stop.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if we didn’t have to spend so much time fighting for equity and inclusion. But then I think, just hold on, we are getting close and then, when I have some big wins – like influencing change in the UK aviation law or going to the White House to meet the US President or someone reads my book, Driving Forwards – and things feel good, I think to myself, “This is the reason why I was made disabled. So I’d better keep going.”

Meghan Markle Left in Tears After Zendaya Refuses Her Entry to 28th Birthday Party

In what could be one of the most jaw-dropping Hollywood scandals of the year, rumors have emerged suggesting that Zendaya dramatically kicked Meghan Markle out of an exclusive birthday bash. This incident, supposedly witnessed by a select few, has ignited a firestorm of speculation and debate. However, it’s important to remember that these claims are based on rumors circulating from a handful of YouTube channels.

According to the gossip mill, Zendaya’s star-studded birthday celebration in Los Angeles took an unexpected turn when Meghan Markle was allegedly denied entry. Eyewitnesses—whose reliability is as questionable as the rumors themselves—report that Zendaya confronted Markle at the venue, supposedly demanding that she leave immediately. The dramatic scene described involves Zendaya visibly fuming upon seeing Markle approach and, in a theatrical showdown, telling her to “get lost.” This alleged encounter reportedly left Markle in tears, caught off guard by what was described as Zendaya’s aggressive outburst.

The reasons behind Zendaya’s purported hostility remain shrouded in mystery. Speculations range from a personal feud between the two women to Zendaya simply wanting to keep her party exclusive. However, these reasons are entirely speculative and should be taken with a hefty dose of skepticism.

As the rumors spread across the internet, social media is abuzz with opinions. One user commented, “I doubt she was invited. Good for Zendaya,” while another added, “Why is she gatecrashing?” A third fan wrote, “If Zendaya refused her entry, then she herself didn’t invite Meghan Markle. So whoever invited her on their invitation is the person at fault. Why would Zendaya invite her anyway? Meghan is much older than Zendaya and her circle. I wouldn’t want her or her husband at anything—they’re like huge rotting black eyes.”

However, it’s crucial to approach this story with a critical eye. The details of the incident are fueled by unverified reports from YouTube channels known for sensational content, and the actual validity of these claims is questionable. Given that these rumors lack solid evidence and are based on possibly unreliable sources, it’s prudent to view the situation with skepticism.

Zendaya and Markle’s rumored clash is just one of many speculative stories circulating about high-profile celebrities. While the drama makes for compelling headlines, it’s essential to remember that such rumors can be exaggerated or entirely fabricated. In the world of celebrity gossip, where every unverified whisper can turn into a headline, separating fact from fiction is crucial.

For now, as speculation continues to swirl, it remains unclear how Meghan Markle might address the rumors. Given her history of using social media to respond to public criticism, she may choose to clarify the situation or let this one slide by choosing not to engage with the ongoing drama.

On this day in history, September 6, 1997, Princess Diana is eulogized at her funeral in Westminster Abbey

Princess Diana was only 36 years old when she died in a car crash

Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” spoke to Fox News Digital about his shocking biography on Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son and his tumultuous marriage to Princess Diana.

Princess Diana was eulogized at her funeral in Westminster Abbey on this day in history, Sept. 6, 1997.

Thousands of mourners lined the streets to catch a glimpse as the procession made its way through the streets of London. More than 2,000 people attended her funeral, including family members, celebrities, royals and dignitaries.

In addition, an estimated 2.5 billion people around the globe tune in to TV broadcasts of the funeral of Diana, who died at age 36 in a car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997, noted History.com.

In the early hours of August 31, the driver of Diana’s car lost control of the vehicle while trying to elude paparazzi and crashed in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris.

Diana’s companion, Dodi al-Fayed, also died in the crash, as did driver, Henri Paul.

It was later determined Paul was speeding and under the influence of alcohol, multiple sources indicated.

The United Kingdom experienced an outpouring of public grief over Diana’s death.

Musical icon Elton John, a friend of Diana’s, performed a reworked version of his song “Candle in the Wind,” which he and Bernie Taupin had originally written about Marilyn Monroe.

The image of Prince William, then age 15, and Prince Harry, then age 12, walking solemnly with their father behind Diana’s casket in her funeral cortège became iconic.

Diana’s brother, Lord Charles Spencer, eulogized Diana and blamed the media for his sister’s death, calling her the “most hunted person of the modern age,” History.com reported.

She was the daughter of Edward John Spencer, the Viscount Althorp, and Frances Ruth Burke Roche, who was later known as the Honorable Frances Shand Kydd, according to Biography.com.

She is remembered as always having a great fondness for children.

After attending finishing school at Institut Alpin Videmanette in Switzerland, Diana moved to London, where she began working with children, eventually becoming an assistant at Young England Kindergarten, the same source chronicled.

Prince Charles — today King Charles III — originally dated the older sister of Diana.

In the summer of 1980, Charles first took interest in Diana as a potential bride when they reconnected at a mutual friend’s home, according to several sources.

He was 13 years older than her.

The couple only dated a few months when Prince Charles proposed in Windsor Castle on Feb. 3, 1981.

Prince Charles proposed to Diana with an 18-karat white gold ring topped with a 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds, according to Biography.com.

On her wedding day, she became Diana, Princess of Wales, when she married Prince Charles on July 29, 1981.

“She wanted her children to have as normal an upbringing as possible.”

Their wedding took place at St. Paul’s Cathedral with 2,650 guests. Diana wore a taffeta wedding dress made with silk and antique lace and 10,000 pearls, according to several sources.

The royal couple had two sons together: Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, born on June 21, 1982, and Prince Henry Charles Albert David — known widely as Prince Harry — born on Sept. 15, 1984.

During her 15-year marriage to Prince Charles, the son of Queen Elizabeth II and at the time the heir to the British throne, she became one of the most famous and most photographed people in the world.

The couple divorced on Aug. 28, 1996, after being separated for four years.

On Dec. 9, 1992, Prime Minister John Major declared, “It is announced from Buckingham Palace that, with regret, the Prince and Princess of Wales have decided to separate,” said Town and Country Magazine.

In exchange for a generous settlement, and the right to retain her apartments at Kensington Palace and her title of Princess of Wales, Diana agreed to relinquish the title of “Her Royal Highness” and any future claims to the British throne, said History.com.

In the year following the divorce, the popular princess seemed well on her way to achieving her dream of becoming “a queen in people’s hearts,” but she died so tragically, said History.com.

Diana enjoyed a very close relationship with her sons.

“She wanted her children to have as normal an upbringing as possible and treated them to days out at theme parks, sent them to public school and took them on royal tours,” said Hello Magazine.

Denise Welch shared the thing that ‘saved her life’ on Tuesday’s Loose Women after she reassured fans she was alive and well following false claims she had died circulated online

Denise Welch opened up on her mental heath struggles on Loose Women.

The actress and mum to The 1975 star Matty Healy has been a mental health advocate for many years and has previously spoken candidly about her own experienced with clinical depression. On Tuesday’s Loose Women, the panel discussed: “Are we too reliant on a ‘pill for every ill’?”

Denise said: “I’ve suffered from clinical depression/major depressive disorder for 30 years, I am a huge massive advocate for antidepressant medication when it is prescribed for the right reasons. And, for me, I have a chemical imbalance and I need an antidepressant to help replace that.

“It has literally saved my life and many other peoples’ lives. I have worked for many years as a mental health advocate to try and break down the stigma of taking medication.” Later in the discussion, Denise addressed the question’s topic on being “too reliant” on certain medications.

She added: “It’s a two-prong thing for me, I do agree with what they’re saying but I do not want it to take away for the fact that antidepressants are a life-saving medication.” Meanwhile, Denise took to social media earlier this week to reassure fans she was alive after false claims circulated online she had died.

The actress was the target of an online death hoax on Sunday, with the 65-year-old falsely reported as dead on her Wikipedia page. She tweeted: “I’m alive and well and about to watch the jungle. Thanks for your concern.”

Earlier this year, Denise opened up on her episodes of depression. She told Good Morning Britain: “It’s good to talk, of course it is, but this is more for the people who love and live with those people.

“Often with depression, you can’t talk, you go silent is what happens to me, so people ought to look out for when there are those changes in behaviour, when someone who is normally very chatty and very sociable and very outgoing, suddenly withdraws, those are big signs.”

“When I had it, there was nowhere really to go for help. That’s why I was sort of a lone wolf talking about it.”

Prince William’s Shocking Three-Word Ultimatum to King Charles Revealed

 

The future King William V recently faced a heart-wrenching decision that deeply affected his stepmother, Queen Camilla. As he navigates this pivotal moment, the impact on the Royal Family’s delicate dynamics is being closely watched. Caught between duty and family, William’s choice has stirred concerns about how it will shape the monarchy’s future. 

Amidst reconciling the royal family’s century-old legacy with modern expectations, significant changes are underway. According to recent reports, King Charles and Prince William are taking substantial steps to address ongoing issues related to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex, who left the Royal Family in 2020, appears to be adjusting to life on the West Coast but is contemplating a return to the UK after years of public criticism of the monarchy.

Prince Harry is reportedly planning sporadic returns to help his father, King Charles, during his ongoing cancer treatment. Friends of the Duke have shared that during these visits, Harry will take on a role similar to a senior royal, breaking his four-year absence from royal duties. However, tensions remain high. Sources reveal that Harry will not return to the royal fold without an apology from William, who responded coldly with three words: “At the point you left.” This terse response underscores the strained relationship between the brothers.

In August, the royal family convened a significant meeting at Balmoral to address the growing issues within the monarchy. The health crisis of a senior royal member has exacerbated turmoil, affecting public opinion and internal cohesion. The possibility of stripping Prince Harry of his royal title is being considered, with the controversy surrounding the Sussexes’ recent trip to Colombia adding fuel to the fire.

The Colombia trip, marked by substantial expenses, has intensified scrutiny. The response from the royal family included mobilizing 3,000 police officers, snipers, and an anti-terrorism vehicle to ensure the couple’s safety. The use of helicopters and drones further highlights the extensive security measures. In response, the Royal Household has directed Prince Harry to refrain from using his royal title during visits to Colombia.

Charles and William are now focusing on reorganizing royal operations to manage costs and establish a new structure for active royals. However, revoking a royal title is a rare and complex process, complicating efforts to address the ongoing issues.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales has been in the public eye due to her battle with cancer. Despite stepping back from royal duties, her engagement with the public has remained strong. She has spent the summer focusing on her three children, though her return to royal duties is expected to be a long-term process. Her treatment will continue for several more months, and she will need time to regain her strength before resuming a more active role.

TRAGIC!⛔ Anne INVOLVED In FATAL Car ACCID£NT! Charlse In GRIEF As His ONLY Sister Is HOSPITALISED

 

 

 

While Princess Anne remains dedicated to her royal duties, recent interviews have shed light on her secret aspiration to pursue a career far removed from her obligations as a senior working member of the British Royal Family. In a 1983 interview with her ex-husband Mark Phillips, Anne was reminded of her reaction to being asked what profession she would choose if she were an ordinary person for a day. Surprisingly, her answer was that she yearned to be a truck driver.Q

 

However, Anne was quick to clarify that she did not simply want to be a driver. With her heavy goods vehicle (HGV) license already in hand, she envisioned a life where she could earn a living on the open road while also enjoying the solitude and flexibility that came with the job. As Anne explained, by dedicating oneself to long hours of driving, one could then savor the luxury of leisure time during breaks. To her, it “wouldn’t be such a terrible way to live.”

 

Beyond the freedom and independence of life as a truck driver, Anne also appreciated the work ethic and self-sufficiency it would require. As a senior royal, she is acutely aware of the stringent expectations and unwavering composure needed to fulfill her duties. In a 1981 documentary, Anne discussed how royals must always appear pleasant and radiant in public, even if their inner emotions do not align. There is an unwritten code of conduct that governs their every move.

 

As a hardworking royal who participated in an astounding 457 official public outings in 2023 alone, Anne understands the challenges of maintaining absolute professionalism. With over five decades of royal service, she recognizes the importance of choosing suitable companions for engagements.

 

Typically accompanied by her husband Sir Timothy Lawrence, Anne emphasizes the need for supportive partners who understand the role. She expressed frustration with individuals who arrive looking disheveled, angry, unenthusiastic or bored, describing how that fails to benefit anyone and disappoints those they are visiting.

 

Beyond the dream of freedom on the open road, Anne’s interest in obtaining her HGV license also hints at her independent spirit and practical work ethic. She has rarely given candid interviews discussing her personal desires, yet these comments shed light on Anne’s private aspirations outside the constraints of the royal bubble. With a personality perfectly suited to the solitary lifestyle of a long-haul trucker, it’s intriguing to imagine the Princess finding contentment hitting the road without pomp or obligation.

 

While she remains devoted to serving as a senior working royal, Anne’s comments show that life away from the spotlight holds its own appeal. Her dream reflects an ordinary pursuit that millions share, one where self-sufficiency meets leisurely rewards. Despite a lifetime immersed in the rigors of the monarchy, Princess Anne’s answered revealed an unexpected yet relatable desire for autonomous living on her own terms. It presents a glimpse into the private hopes that counterbalance her commitment to public service and duty as a senior member of the Royal Family.
