Sometimes life takes us on unexpected journeys. Frank Fritz was going through a lot personally, despite being a well-known television fixture.

This is his tragic story…

Diann Bankson was Frank Fritz’s longtime partner. His turbulent divorce led to alcoholism, unemployment, and health risks. Even though they are no longer together, their time together left an indelible mark on them.

Frank Fritz, the host of “American Pickers,” was 25 years old when he first met Diann Bankson. The couple dated intermittently before getting engaged in 2017. In 2018, they bought an Iowa farmhouse and moved in together a year later.

Their relationship soured in November of that year, when Bankson claimed to have “walked in” on Fritz and “found him in bed with another woman.”

Fritz revealed in a conversation that Bankson had betrayed him and had even gotten a tattoo to remind him of it. But he said he still wanted to marry her.

“I was going to get married, I bought a house and a large expensive ring,” Fritz said after learning that his fiancee had been seeing someone else for the previous 2.5 years.

Fritz stated, “She is the cheater, which is why I got a tattoo saying, “Once a cheater, always a cheater,” as a reminder not to repeat “the same mistake.” He went on to say that Bankson had “cost” him a lot of money.

He began drinking to help heal his broken heart. He claimed that was how he dealt with his breakup. As a result of this, he lost a lot of weight. “I gave it my best shot,” Fritz admitted. I tried to drown her in booze.

Because his previous relationship with Bankson had “stung badly enough,” he decided to put off dating for a while while he worked on quitting drinking.

He also suffered losses at work following the divorce. According to the Sun, he will no longer host “American Pickers” on the History Channel after March 2020.

Christopher Reeve’s son had lost both of his parents by the age of 13.

A 7-year-old girl is paralyzed after a teenager falls on her back from 30 feet above at Loretta Lynn’s campground.

Tim Curry’s family did not inform the public of his stroke; he is still acting at the age of 76.

Fritz claimed that his absence was due to health issues and that he intended to return to the show once the effects of his back surgery had healed. Fritz expressed his desire to re-watch the show. I’m ready to return to the program now that I’ve fully recovered.

Fritz claimed that the show had made no definitive decision about his return. He did, however, say that a showrunner had contacted him and promised to bring him back.

Despite the fact that Fritz has been a part of the show for ten years, there are “no plans” for him to return as a host, according to TMZ.

In addition to declining to return to his show, his ex-lover Bankson revealed her new man, an engineering administration manager named Eric Longlett. In a social media post about him, she gushed about how lucky she was to be with him.

“He took me to witness Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road Farewell Tour,” she captioned a photo of herself with Longlett at the concert. I’m a lucky girl. I adore you, babe oxo.

Fritz was admitted to the hospital on July 4, 2022, after suffering a stroke. He was discovered on the floor of his house by a friend, who then dialed for help. The 911 call, on which his companion stated, “he might be having a seizure, I’m not sure,” was obtained by The US Sun.

Fritz’s father, Bill Fritz, told reporters that his son was doing well and improving every day.

However, his rehabilitation did not go as well as the doctors had hoped. He was placed under guardianship and sent to a nursing home after being discharged from the hospital.

On August 18, 2022, his “longtime friend” requested and received approval for an emergency appointment for temporary guardianship and conservatorship on his behalf, according to rumors.

His acquaintance was appointed as his guardian, and the bank was tasked with managing his finances as his conservator.

As his conservator, the bank would be responsible for all payments to his care facility, including daily costs, health insurance, maintenance, and property taxes. He would require appropriate transportation for activities and doctor’s appointments, which the bank would have to ensure.

His friend had to submit a “initial care plan” for him in order to be his guardian, and he has participated “in decision-making since the stroke.”

To accomplish this, his guardian must make decisions about his living situation, place of residence, health, and healthcare needs; encourage participation in any activities; and maintain communication with family members and potential romantic interests. As his guardian, he would also be required to provide a yearly report.

According to his paperwork, his condition was deteriorating and he was unable to make self-adequate decisions, “without which physical injury or sickness may result.”

Documents revealed that he was in far worse shape than previously thought, and that he was unable to “make, communicate, or carry out important decisions about his own financial affairs.”

His guardian must make decisions for him until he is well enough to “get treatment for his injuries” and capable of doing so.

The court determined Fritz requires a guardian to protect his health in the future. The court ruled that “appointment of a guardian and conservator is required to prevent him from suffering immediate harm.”

This story is truly heartbreaking. We send our best wishes for Frank Fritz’s health and recovery.

In a recent social media post, Princess Charlotte was seen posing for cameras alongside her father, Prince William. Fans took to the comments section debating what traits the little girl had that made her look like either her great-grandmother or grandmother.

Simon Cowell went from an unknown record company worker to one of the most influential people in show business. The British producer and TV star has created a huge empire for himself and has been the star judge on several talent shows.

The talent shows brought Simon a different kind of audience, and his unique, often brutally honest approach has proven rather popular.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why he’s made so much money, and we’re talking a lot of money. In fact, Simon Cowell’s been paid millions and millions of dollars over the years, with new reports highlighting just how much he made per season of American Idol.

Simon Cowell got his own job in music after he dropped out of school. His father was able to hire him as an assistant at record label EMI, where his responsibilities were to find new talent and develop artists.

Simon Cowell – rise to fame

As he moved up the ladder at EMI, he went on to start two music labels of his own, though these didn’t achieve any level of success.

He moved back home to live with his parents; something that could’ve broken anyone. For Simon Cowell, though, it was a “relief”.

“Everything went – my house, my Porsche, all the things I thought were important,” he explained. “I had nice food every night at home. I was quite happy, really.”

Cowell started over and founded S Records Label, to which he signed boybands like 5ive and Westlife. He also signed artist Jerome, who recorded the Righteous Brothers’ hit Unchained Melody in 1995. It turned out to be a top-selling single.

However, it was through talent shows that Simon himself would rise to fame.

“My talent is for creating things the public will like,” he explained. “I’m interested only in making money, for myself, and the people I work for. I mean, that’s absolutely the only criterion I attach.”

Talent show success

In 2001, the world of entertainment would witness the birth of a new entity. Together with Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, Simon Cowell created the program Pop Idol, on which he starred as a judge. The show became a smash-hit among the viewers, and Simon became a mega-celebrity overnight.

His tight T-shirt and now classic catchphrase, “I don’t mean to be rude but,” became a trademark. Just one year later, Fox picked up the show. Now it was headed for the US, and Simon had all of a sudden become a celebrity across the Atlantic.

The first season finale – which Kelly Clarkson won –  attracted more than 26 million viewers, and Simon quickly understood that there was a huge amount of money to be made here.

He decided to release special American Idol-themed records, with Simon Fuller owning and being in charge of the show, as well as managing the winners.

Simon Cowell – net worth

Simon was transformed into a multi-millionaire in just a couple of years. The talent shows, including X Factor and America’s Got Talent, generated huge amounts of money for him, as well as other record companies, and in 2006, he landed a new deal.

Cowell remained a judge on American Idol for another five years – and this made him a great amount of money.

Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson were the three judges when American Idol premiered. It started out as an interesting project, but it quickly grew to be one of the most popular shows on television, changing many people’s lives and giving the audience world class artists.

Two of the most notable winners over the years have been Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson – in the future, many more will surely come.

Simon stayed on the show for a total of nine seasons. He also created The X Factor for both the US and UK, and founded the production companies Syco TV, Syco Film, and Syco Music.

Made $36 million in one year

Cowell was the judge on both The X Factor in the US and UK. At the same time, he was also judge, as well as executive producer, on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.

Even though he was a judge on many shows, one thing stayed the same. His raw, almost rude, attitude was always present. But at the same time, he had no problem with getting emotional when he heard something beautiful.

At the same time as Simon’s been seen laughing at funny auditions, he’s also been able to laugh all the way to the bank.

According to CNN, Simon Cowell made a staggering $36 million dollars in 2008 alone. According to Celebritynetworth.com, the media mogul earned $45 million in 2017, and the year after $41 million. In 2020, Simon Cowell bagged more than $50 million.

In total, Simon Cowell has a net worth of $600 million. He donates a portion of his money every year to different organizations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he donated $1.5 million to Feeding America and Feeding Britain.

Simon Cowell – botox injections

With all this money, you can do pretty much anything you want. To that end, Cowell’s bought himself a huge Malibu mansion just outside Los Angeles, California, and has focused quite a bit on altering his appearance.

For example, the media mogul’s had several injections and botox in his face over the past few years. According to Hello Magazine, he was actually one of the first male television stars to admit to having Botox.

In 2018, Cowell told the Sun he had undergone a non-surgical “sewing bioplastic-infused thread” facelift.

“There’s lots of things you can do now. You don’t just have to stuff your face with filler and Botox,” Cowell said, as quoted by Hello.

“It hurts like hell but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the crap.” “For me now, it’s all about having clean skin. If you have clean skin, you look better. But you have to be very careful with some of this stuff.”

“Probably did a little too much”

Cowell added that him using Botox actually “added 10 years” to his television career, which has been majorly successful. However, he admits that he probably went a little bit to far.

“Hopefully I look better now — I probably did have a little too much Botox a couple of years ago, because everyone on TV has it,” he said.

“Now I have facials, but nothing too extravagant at the moment. I have a girl who comes here and does a great face massage — it’s very relaxing. I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there.”

In more recent times, though he’s still working hard with several of his businesses, Simon has become a family man as well.

In 2013, he and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman announced that they were expecting their first child. On Valentine’s Day of 2014, they welcomed their son, Eric.

“Meeting Lauren and becoming a dad was the most fantastic thing to happen in my life,” Cowell, then 54 years old, said.

Simon Cowell – hospital visit

Cowell’s family are living their best life, but at the same time, Simon has had several problems with his health.

In October of 2017, he was rushed to the hospital after fainting and falling down the stairs. His representative described it as “a scary morning”, and it was later determined that the fall was due to low blood pressure.

Following the accident, he met with a doctor who told him he had to change his diet and not consume red meat, wheat, dairy, gluten or sugar.

“I’m thinking, what about alcohol? That’s all I care about,” Cowell recalled in an interview with Extra. “And he said, ‘Maybe not quite as much as you had before’.”

Simon Cowell’s undergone an incredible health journey over the last couple of years. And the result is nothing less than fantastic!

Major health recovery

In just 12 months, Simon’s lost 56 pounds. And the COVID-19 pandemic – and its accompanying lockdown – hasn’t given him any excuse to pile the weight on again.

“I think I have dropped, since I started this diet a year ago, 60 pounds. I’m doing a bit of cooking. I’m exercising,” he told Extra, according to Hello Magazine. “Funny enough, more during this time as well, sticking to the diet.”

But last year, Simon was in another serious accident when he fell off his electric bike in the courtyard of his home in Malibu, California. He was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery to repair a broken back.

Cowell was “doing” fine following the six-hour surgery, which included placement of a metal rod. Things really could’ve turned out way worse than it did.

It forced him to miss the beginning of last season’s live show America’s Got Talent.

Bike accident in Malibu home

“Some good advice… If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time,” Cowell wrote on Twitter, thanking fans and friends for their “kind messages.”

Even though his message seemed calming for his fans, things weren’t really as positive as they might have been.

Speaking with ExtraTV, Cowell explained that he was shocked once he saw the X-ray.

“I knew I’d broken my back the minute I landed. It was really, really kind of sudden and it hurt,” he said. “It could have been a lot worse. When I saw the X-ray, I really nearly could have smashed my spine to pieces, so I literally wouldn’t have been able to walk.”

Doctors told him that he should lie down and rest, and he knew that he wasn’t supposed to move. However, Cowell did the opposite.

“I was so embarrassed”

According to a People source, he was walking around just two days after his surgery.

“I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to get back into the house because I can’t lie there’, and made myself kind of get carried into my bedroom, which is right there at the beginning of the house, and I’m lying there and I’m kind of passing out … It was surreal,” he said.

Simon Cowell was said to have been testing a new electric bike with son Eric. The hardest part for him was recovering from the accident at home, which he thought was embarrassing to do in front of his son.

“I was so embarrassed about coming home looking about 100 because I couldn’t walk, and I have these metal rods in my back and these screws,” Cowell explained. “

I said, ‘Lauren, I just don’t know how to explain it to Eric.’ She obviously said something to him because he came in and I was lying in bed and he said, ‘Daddy, you’re like Ironman,’ and I thought that was the sweetest thing and it meant a lot.”

Recovering from the accident has taken some time. However, it also has shown us all that Cowell is very determined, doing all he can to get back to normal.

And he’s done it in a very impressive way.

Impressive workout routine

According to Daily Mail, Simon has been walking over 40 miles each week to help with his recovery from his injury. He holds business meetings every morning, and walks for several hours each day. The music mogul sure is doing everything he can to get back to normal, and others are also impressed.

“He feels fitter than ever before and is keeping to a normal routine rather than being on the phone until into the early hours of the morning,” the source said.

Simon Cowell son

Through building his empire, Simon has earned himself a multimillion dollar fortune. However, it turns out that the music doesn’t want to share the money with his child.

It’s essential to learn the importance of money, and if you have parents with a considerable fortune, things can be expected be easier, right?

But over the years, we have seen celebrities declare that their children will not inherit a penny of their fortune. Simon Cowell is one of these – because he genuinely believes his children should create their own fortune.

“I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another,” Simon told The Mirror and added:

“Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”

Today, Simon Cowell has only one child – an 8-year-old boy named Eric.

When Simon Cowell met Eric’s mother, Lauren Silverman, she was married to one of Cowell’s close friends, Andrew Silverman.

In 2013 news broke that the couple were expecting their first child together. Lauren was still married to Andrew, but by the end of the year they divorced.

On Valentine’s Day 2014, Eric was born and while Cowell was overjoyed to become a father, he struggled with it initially. Simon, who never expected to be a father, wasn’t proud of his affair.

“It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone. It just happened,” he said.

But today, he couldn’t be happier. In many ways, the father-son-duo is very alike. According to Simon, they appreciate the same things – Scooby Doo, Disney movies, and laughing at the dogs.

”He’s the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I adore him,” America’s Got Talent judge said.

Eric is named after Cowell’s late father, Eric Selig Phillip Cowell, who died in 1999. Recently, Simon also praised his son for making him stop getting fillers and injections in his face. It went so far that Eric got scared by his father’s face

“There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far. I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day, and didn’t recognise it as me first of all,” Simon told The Sun and continued:

“Eric was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero,” the X Factor judge said.

Who said a 280-pound bear can’t have personality? Well, one furry friend currently making the rounds online certainly does.

The bear lives in the Olympic Game Farm in Washington, where hundreds of animals live in large areas. Exactly how he ended up at the farm is unclear — he may have been rescued from a zoo and could not be sent back into the wild. But at least, here he is free to live as he wills. From time to time, people visit the farm to see the majestic animals.

Such as the woman in this story. When she saw the bear, she decided to wave. His response? Absolutely wonderful.

 

Visitors go to the farm to learn more about wildlife and see animals they may otherwise not be able to see in their natural environment.

One such visitor sat in her car one day and casually waved at the bear — at which point he returns her greeting, incredibly waving back!

Watch their magical encounter in the video below.

It’s a very short video clip, but I can watch it over and over again!

Please share if you also think that bears are amazing creatures!

Abby Hensel, one half of the conjoined twins known for their TV appearances alongside her sister Brittany, has tied the knot, marking a new chapter in their remarkable journey.

The twins captured public fascination when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 at the age of around six. Subsequently, as they entered their twenties, their lives became the focus of the TLC reality series Abby & Brittany. The show chronicled their experiences as they navigated college and ventured into adulthood.

In a recent development, Abby has wed nurse and US Army veteran Josh Bowling. A wedding photo, featuring Abby, Brittany, and Josh, surfaced on the Hensels’ joint Facebook page, portraying the trio in what appears to be a moment of marital bliss. Records obtained by Today reveal that the couple exchanged vows in 2021.

Since their nuptials, Abby, Brittany, and Josh have been pictured traveling, hiking, and embracing life’s adventures together. The trio resides in Minnesota, their hometown, where Abby and Brittany are reportedly employed as fifth-grade teachers.

Describing himself on his X account, Josh identifies as a “Christian, Father, Husband, Veteran, and occasional gamer.”

As dicephalus conjoined twins, Abby and Brittany share a bloodstream and control different sets of limbs. Abby manages their right arm and leg, while Brittany governs those on the left.

In the inaugural episode of their reality series, the twins addressed the curiosity surrounding them, affirming their upbringing instilled in them the belief that they could achieve anything. Their parents, Patty and Mike, faced the decision to separate the twins at birth but opted against it due to the slim survival chances for both.

In a 2003 documentary titled Joined For Life, Patty revealed the twins’ aspirations of motherhood, citing their functional reproductive organs as a possibility for them. Brittany echoed this sentiment, expressing their desire to be mothers in the future, though acknowledging they were just 16 at the time and had yet to ponder the logistics of parenthood.

Amid ongoing health challenges within the British monarchy, a potential thaw in familial tensions appears on the horizon as Prince Harry gears up for an upcoming trip to the UK and a potential meeting with his cancer-stricken father. This reunion could mark the beginning of a new chapter of understanding and support among the royals.

The world has witnessed numerous iconic figures, but few have left as profound an impact on our hearts as Princess Diana, fondly referred to as the ‘People’s Princess.’ Her life epitomized a blend of elegance, grace, and genuine compassion that transcended her royal status. Diana’s enduring legacy continues to inspire, console, and remind us of the enduring power of love and kindness.

Princess Diana earned the moniker “The People’s Princess” not merely as a cute nickname but due to her pivotal role as a source of inspiration and solace for the British populace, especially during challenging times. With her warm demeanor and philanthropic endeavors, she endeared herself to the public. She famously remarked that she would prefer to reign as queen in people’s hearts rather than on paper.

Tragically, one of the most harrowing events in recent British history was the fatal accident that claimed her life in Paris. Despite her untimely demise, Princess Diana’s influence endures, resonating not only through her sons William and Harry but also within the hearts of people worldwide.

While numerous captivating photographs of Diana have graced the public eye over the years, not all have achieved widespread circulation.

Nevertheless, they remain remarkable, serving as poignant reminders of her remarkable life and legacy.

Diana’s life was marked by numerous trials and tribulations, including her tumultuous marriage and her premature passing. Yet, she remained a devoted mother, prioritizing the upbringing of her two sons, William and Harry, amidst the challenges of royal life. She strived to provide them with a semblance of a normal childhood, fostering their experiences and ensuring they cherished moments of joy and spontaneity.

Despite the challenges she faced within the royal family, Diana’s unwavering commitment to her children remained steadfast. She endeavored to shield them from potential threats and fostered a deep bond between William and Harry, encouraging them to pledge eternal friendship to one another.

In commemoration of their mother’s enduring legacy, William and Harry united to unveil a new statue dedicated to Diana on what would have been her 60th birthday. The bronze statue, located in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace, serves as a timeless tribute to her life and impact.

As we reflect on the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing, her sons, William and Harry, honor her memory in their own distinct ways. While William and Kate Middleton commemorated the occasion with a quiet day in Windsor, Harry expressed his desire to fulfill his mother’s wish and uphold her cherished legacy…

On the anniversary, Harry expressed, “I want today to be filled with memories of her incredible deeds and the love she poured into everything she did. I wish I had the chance to know her. I strive to honor her legacy every single day. ”

Despite her prominent status, Diana faced personal struggles like any other individual. One of her primary challenges stemmed from her husband, Prince Charles.

Charles’ affair with Camilla, who later became his wife, began in 1986, as detailed in Prince Charles’ official biography, as reported by Town & Country. Diana discovered the affair and confronted Camilla about it in 1989, urging her to step back.

During their confrontation, Diana reportedly said to Camilla, “I know what’s going on between you and Charles, and I just want you to know,” according to Town & Country. “You’ve got everything you ever wanted,” Diana continued. “What more do you want when you have two beautiful children and all the men in the world who are in love with you?” Diana expressed her desire to have her husband back, acknowledging the turmoil they both endured due to her presence. “Don’t treat me like an idiot,” Diana asserted to Camilla.

The decorum of the royal family was disrupted at Diana’s funeral.

From the public’s perspective, the situation appeared normal, but Charles and Diana’s relationship did not lead to a fairy tale ending. They separated in 1992, although they continued to fulfill their official royal duties. Their divorce was finalized in August 1996, four years after their separation.

Diana received a significant settlement and retained her apartment in Kensington Palace and the title “Princess of Wales.” However, she relinquished her title of “Royal Highness” and any potential claims to the throne.

Diana’s tragic death deeply shook the nation and the world. Her funeral took place at Westminster Abbey on September 6, 1997, followed by her interment at Althorp Park, her family’s estate..

Royal attire ignites a flurry of reactions as Queen Camilla’s latest fashion choices spark a wave of comments from admirers and critics alike. Amid tradition and pomp, her unique ensemble has become a hot topic online.

 

Paul Burrell, former butler to Princess Diana, has revealed a never-before-seen private letter Diana wrote to him with some very poignant words about her two sons Prince William and Prince Harry.

The ex-royal servant revealed a snippet of the letter on Instagram in which Diana offers some particularly meaningful words for her boys, 23 years after her death.

Media reports have hinted at a rift between the two princes as a result of Harry and Meghan’s shock announcement that they would be stepping down as senior royals. The couple have since moved to Canada and now California to start their new life.

“I love my boys to death and hope that the seeds I’ve planted will grow and bring the strength, knowledge, and stability that is needed,” Diana writes, according to the excerpt Burrell posted.

Burrell says he was sharing the message because: “They are a mother’s words of unconditional love which are as appropriate today as they were when she wrote them over 24 years ago,” he said on his Instagram post.

“I wanted to send my support to Harry, Meghan and Archie as they embark on a new life so far away from our shores.” he added.

He also published another excerpt from a letter penned by Diana to him saying: “In my heart I know that she would want Harry and Meghan to be happy above all else. Yesterday I found a letter which the Princess wrote to me so many years ago and one line jumped out from the page. In her hand she wrote…’I would look up and laugh and love and live.’”

Diana wrote the letter to her personal butler not long before she was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.

Prince Harry referenced his mother in a speech hinting at why he and Meghan were taking a step back from royal duties.

Following the speech Harry gave in Miami for JP Morgan, a source told the New York Post that Harry revealed he had been in therapy over the past few years to help with the trauma of losing his mother.

He also said he didn’t regret their decision to step down as senior royals because he wanted to protect his family, as reported by British newspaper the Express.

“He does not want Meghan and their son Archie to go through what he did as a child,” the Express reported citing the New York Post.

Let’s hope that media speculation claiming the brothers have healed any possible rift is accurate.

As King Charles and Kate Middleton are undergoing cancer treatment – which all began in January when King Charles first received his diagnosis and Kate underwent abdominal surgery – other royal family members have had to step up. Prince William and Queen Camilla have taken on a massive responsibility regarding engagements, and the schedule has changed. 

Prince William and Queen Camilla have been praised for their work ethic, considering the small number of working royals in the last few months, but it has also taken its toll.

Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla have much in common. They are both married into the royal family and, at one point or another, the two have had to deal with a lot of scrutiny from the press and the public. In Kate’s case, that happened just weeks ago, as her Mother’s Day picture turned out to have been manipulated. However, even though it has been a challenging period, the Princess of Wales has also gotten a lot of support, not least from Queen Camilla – who’s shown her support beautifully.

The royal family is going through a really rough time. King Charles has been battling cancer since January, and last week, Kate Middleton shared her cancer diagnosis to the world.

The Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery in January, and up until last week, no one knew what her exact medical condition was. Speculations about her health and her marriage to Prince William have been ongoing for months. But on Friday, as Kate released the emotional video through the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media pages, it shut down conspiracy theorists and the many celebrities that had pretty much mocked her online.

Kate Midleton – cancer diagnosis statement

Kate Middleton’s complete statement read;

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery.

It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.

In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.

This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

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

As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body, and spirits.

Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.

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

At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.

“Please do not lose faith or hope”

When Kate Middleton went into surgery, Prince William stepped up and took on a lot of responsibility. Not only has he helped Queen Camilla with royal duties while the king and princess recover, but he also cares for the couple’s three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The future king is undoubtedly a hands-on dad, doing the school runs back and forth and helping around the house more significantly.

Like Prince William, Queen Camilla has received significant praise in recent months. She has had a very rocky time within the royal sphere, as her early affair with King Charles made her very unpopular among the British public and in the press. However, the tides have turned.

Camilla is becoming increasingly popular, and many have praised her for her commitment, especially for handling her royal duties while King Charles is undergoing cancer treatments.

Queen Camilla praised for her commitment during King Charles’ cancer treatments

As late as this week, royal expert Angela Levin appeared on GB News, saying that Queen Camilla is “holding the royal family up.”

“I mean, to wait till you’re 73 is a long time before you can take the crown. I think obviously, at his age, it’s very difficult, but he’s very determined, and he’s only really just started to be king,” Levin said. “Supporting him very much, absolutely by his side, is Queen Camilla, who is going to all the engagements that they would have gone to together on her own.”

“And so that way he will feel it’s still moving, it’s still running, and they can discuss it and talk about it. And I think that’s marvelous. I mean, she is holding the Royal Family up and being strong. If you imagine 30 years ago, people were saying the whole Royal Family would absolutely disintegrate, and she would be of no use.”

Levin added that Camilla has revealed she doesn’t like the spotlight. However, she’s become very “accessible” and makes people laugh when meeting members of the public.

“To support her husband. She understands him very well because they’ve been together for over 50 years, before they even got married. it’s a long time and they make each other laugh,” Angela Levin added while appearing on GB News.

“They have the same sense of humor, they understand each other, and if you see them when they’re out, they move together. It’s very tandem.”

Kate Middleton was scrutinized by the media before marrying Prince William

As mentioned, Queen Camilla had a tough time being accepted by the press and public when she joined the royal family. The same went for Kate Middleton, at least from the media.

Despite coming from a middle-class background, Kate was labeled “a commoner.”

Before the couple announced their engagement in 2010, the now-princess was nicknamed “Waity Katie” and “Lazy Katie.” According to Buckingham Palace officials, this was a reference to the fact that Middleton had recently quit her job to “prepare for her future life.”

As the years went by, Kate Middleton became increasingly popular. Today, the Princess of Wales is the most popular royal family member, and as late as March, an IPSOS poll showed that Kate is the nation’s favorite royal, chosen by 38%, just ahead of her husband, Prince William, with 36%.

Following her abdominal surgery in January, royal fans worldwide were worried about her health status. Still, as she posted a picture of her and her children on Mother’s Day, many could finally relax. However, as we all know today, things escalated in the complete opposite way.

As the picture was proven to have been badly edited and manipulated, Kate Middleton had to publicly apologize for posting it herself. We don’t know exactly how much damage it did to her popularity among the public, but some argue it surely did.

Despite the feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in which Kate Middleton’s public image was badly hurt following the revelations the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made, the princess hasn’t been through a media scrutiny period since she became officially royal.

Queen Camilla provides Kate Middleton with support through public scrutiny

The cancer diagnosis announcement video, of course, showed that there was a reason behind her silence. However, arguments have been raised that the fact that she put out a manipulated picture of herself and her children was bad enough.

As Kate Middleton became the subject of much scrutiny after the Mother’s Day picture, Camilla became a crucial support source for the Princess of Wales.

In an interview with Today, The Telegraph’s associate editor, Camilla Tominey, claimed that the queen “has been trying to help [Catherine] through the media storm aspect in all of this.”

Tominey said, “I think before [Catherine] made the announcement because she was having to cope with the fallout of everything that was said about the Mother’s Day photo and everything else, I think Camilla lent some support.”

“Because let’s be honest, [Camilla] knows what it’s like to have a difficult press. She knows what it’s like to shepherd children through a media storm,” she added.

If there is one person in the royal family who knows what it’s like to be scrutinized by both the media and the public, it’s Queen Camilla.

In 1994, then-Prince Charles revealed that he had been unfaithful to Diana. It was the first time Charles had confirmed the rumors, but his mistress’ identity wasn’t revealed.

However, later the same month, Jonathan Dimbelby released an authorized biography about Charles, confirming the person he had been having an affair with was Camilla.

Queen Camilla was afraid of leaving her house after her affair with Charles was made public

Exactly how affected the now-queen was by the public disclosure of her affair with Charles hadn’t been known. But in a 2023 interview with OK Magazine, royal expert Angela Levin, author of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: A Royal Survivor, revealed that Camilla had to endure “torrents” of mistreatment from the public.

In fact, she was even afraid of leaving her house to go shopping.

“It was very difficult for her, as she was portrayed as the most wicked woman in the world. She was constantly called nasty names like ‘rottweiler,’ and it must have come as a huge shock that people were so vile about her,” Levin said.

Levin went on, “I don’t think Charles realized how awful it was for her. He was often away on engagements and working hard for the country and Commonwealth, and at the time, Camilla didn’t have protection officers because she wasn’t part of the Royal Family. But when Charles finally realized, he did get protection for her, which he paid for himself.”

Camilla became increasingly popular among the public as the years went by. Even so, Angela Levin suspects she “must still bear the scars of it all.”
