The person who captured Kate Middleton's first public outing since her abdominal surgery has slammed the various conspiracy theories that are doing the rounds around the video.&nbsp; 
 
Nelson Silva spoke to UK tabloid The Sun about the recent video which captured Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William's visit to Windsor Farm Shop on March 16. The video went viral almost immediately but once again sparked speculation on whether the video was doctored or not. 
 
"I’m not so much shocked that these comments have continued, I’m just confused how exactly they can continue," Nelson told the outlet. "This is a video clearly showing her and William. I saw them with my own eyes. It was a completely relaxed situation."&nbsp; 
 
He stated that anyone questioning if that was Kate in the video is "delusional." 
 
"What more do you need to lay off her? I thought after this was released they’d go quiet. But these people are so invested in the drama now," he continued. "They’ve put so much time and energy into these rumours and lies that they can’t pull the plug." 
 
Silva is not a paparazzi but an engineer who lives with his family near the area and was shopping for a steak when he spotted Kate and William.&nbsp; 
 
He said the couple appeared "relaxed and happy." 
 
"I had about 40 minutes to kill and decided to get some produce. I went into the shop and at first I noticed their figures, they were standing near the bread," Silva explained.&nbsp; 
 
Nelson revealed he was behind the royal couple when shopping and saw Kate and William talking to the farm shop staff.&nbsp; 
 
Silva said, "I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but the staff seemed overwhelmed. When I went to pay for my produce, the girl at the counter was so shocked she was hardly breathing." 
 
As Silva left the Windsor Farm Shop, he decided to take a video of Prince William and Kate to send to his family in Portugal.&nbsp; 
 
"I started to record as they walked towards the car park. They just looked very happy and relaxed together. William was obviously protective of Kate, and I quickly stopped recording because I didn’t want to make them uncomfortable," he explained.

He revealed his initial plan was to share the footage of the royal couple with only the family but then later decided to share it with certain publications to end rumours around Kate Middleton. 
 
"It shows she (Kate) is OK and getting better," Silva said of the video. "To be honest, recording the video was totally out of my comfort zone but it was only for my family at the time." 
 
He added, "I’m still not comfortable in the spotlight. But I realised that this video of two people happy and shopping could help make all these rumours fall flat." 
 
Kate Middleton's absence from public eye 
 
Kate was last seen in public in December. She has been away from the public eye, recovering from her abdominal surgery in January. Her outing at the Farm Shop was her first public sighting in nearly three&nbsp;months. 
 
Ever since the news of her hospitalisation and surgery came to light, Middleton's every move has stirred controversy and theories. 
 
Social media users have gone wild with a #FakeKate hashtag, claiming the woman shown in the video from Saturday wasn't the Princess of Wales. 
 
On March 10, Middleton shared a photo on Instagram of herself alongside her three kids for UK Mother's Day.&nbsp;

However, the photo was pulled from major photo agencies due to "manipulation" concerns. 
 
Kate later admitted to having photoshopped the image and issued an apology on social media.&nbsp;

Videographer who captured Kate Middleton, Prince William slams social media theories

Prince Harry alleged Thursday that the publisher of The Sun tabloid unlawfully intercepted phone calls of his late mother, Princess Diana, and father, now King Charles III, as he sought to expand his privacy invasion lawsuit against News Group Newspapers.

The Duke of Sussex is seeking permission during a three-day hearing in the High Court to allow the new claims to be added to his ongoing litigation after evidence surfaced largely through materials turned over by NGN, a subsidiary of the media empire built by Rupert Murdoch, his lawyer said.

Attorney David Sherborne said that the eavesdropping on Diana, her then-estranged husband, Charles, Prince of Wales at the time, and his then paramour, Camilla Parker Bowles, who is now Queen Camilla, inevitably revealed private information about Harry as early as age 9.

Diana was suspicious she was being followed and her calls were being listened to, the amended complaint said. Articles in The Sun and now-defunct News of the World referred to conversations Diana had with close confidants and show that journalists and paparazzi had inside knowledge where she was going to be, including her therapy sessions.

“The defendant’s newspapers described his late mother’s concerns as ’paranoid delusions,’ when the true position was that she was under close surveillance and her calls were being unlawfully intercepted by (NGN), which was known about by its editors and senior executives,” Sherborne said in court papers.

The new claims in Harry’s case follow allegations his lawyer raised Wednesday in the High Court that implicated Murdoch for taking part in the cover-up of unlawful information gathering at his newspapers or that he had “at the very least turned a blind eye” to it.

Harry is one of 45 claimants, including actor Hugh Grant and filmmaker Guy Ritchie, alleging that between 1994 and 2016 News Group journalists violated their privacy through widespread unlawful activity that included intercepting voicemails, tapping phones, bugging cars and using deception to access confidential information.

The claims also allege that executives lied about the wrongdoing and oversaw an effort to delete millions of emails and “buy” the silence of those who might tell the truth about what occurred.

Defence lawyer Anthony Hudson, who said the new allegations “appear to be designed to grab headlines,” said Harry waited too long to bring the new claims. He also said the prince hadn’t followed court procedure for doing so and that the new allegations were a distraction from issues in the case that is tentatively scheduled for trial in January.

NGN issued a statement Wednesday saying that the new allegations amounted to “unjustified inferences in a scurrilous and cynical attack” on former journalists, staff and senior executives at News International, now News UK, the parent of NGN.

Judge Timothy Fancourt, who is expected to rule later on the application to amend the lawsuit, previously rejected News Group’s efforts to toss out the case on the grounds that it was brought beyond the six-year limitation period.

But the judge did side with the newspaper in ruling that Harry and Grant could not pursue claims that journalists had eavesdropped on their voicemails because news of the so-called phone hacking scandal was so widespread they should have had knowledge of the activity to file lawsuits within the deadline.

Harry’s lawsuit against News Group Newspapers is one of three he’s brought against Britain’s biggest tabloids over alleged unlawful activity carried out by journalists and private investigators they hired that came to light after a phone hacking scandal erupted at News of the World in 2011.

Harry, 39, the younger son of King Charles III, has used the courts in his crusade against the press that is the source of a host of personal grievances.

He blames the news media for the death of his mother, who was killed in a car wreck while being pursued by paparazzi. He also said unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media were one of the reasons he and his biracial wife, former actor Meghan Markle, moved to the U.S.

His new claims include allegations The Sun hired a private investigator to dig up personal information on Meghan, including her Social Security number, mobile phone number and details about her family.

In December, Harry’s legal efforts paid off when Fancourt found phone hacking at Mirror Group Newspapers was “widespread and habitual.” In addition to a court judgment, he recently settled the remaining allegations that included his legal fees. The total sum wasn’t announced, but he was due to receive an interim payment of 400,000 pounds ($508,000).

He has another case pending against the owner of the Daily Mail.

The period immediately following childbirth, known as the postpartum period, typically lasts around two months. It is common for women to experience joint pain in various parts of their body during this time. This pain can affect any joint, including the lower back, knees, hips, and hands, and may be accompanied by stiffness, swelling, and redness. It is important to understand that while these symptoms may make one feel older suddenly, they are often the result of hormonal changes and the physical strain of childbirth.

Causes of Postpartum Joint Pain

One of the primary reasons mothers experience joint pain after childbirth is the weight gain that occurs during pregnancy. As the body adjusts to carrying the baby, which increases in weight over time, it can lead to discomfort as the body returns to its pre-pregnancy state. Additionally, mothers who have previously experienced injuries to the joints or tailbone may experience more severe joint pain postpartum. Increased fluid retention during pregnancy can also contribute to pain in the finger joints while carrying the baby can put pressure on the knees.

New mothers need to take care of their bodies to ensure they can provide the best care for their babies. In a conversation with WION,&nbsp;Dr Ashutosh Jha,&nbsp;Consultant Orthopedic at Manipal Hospital in Ghaziabad, shared 3 essential tips for maintaining bone health postpartum. Take a look!

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Bones Postpartum

1. Maintain a Healthy Diet: Consuming calcium-rich foods can help keep bones strong and healthy. Some studies suggest that vitamin K promotes bone density and should be included in the diet. It is advisable to avoid caffeine during this period.

2. Regular Exercise: Engaging in light exercise can help keep the body active. Yoga is particularly beneficial as it promotes both physical and mental well-being. However, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any exercise routine.

3. Consult a Healthcare Professional: If a woman experiences severe joint pain after delivery, she should consult a healthcare professional. This pain could indicate an underlying condition that requires further treatment. The healthcare professional may conduct tests to assess bone density and recommend appropriate treatment.

By taking these steps, new mothers can help maintain their bone health and overall well-being during the postpartum period.

Postpartum joint pain: Three ways to keep bones healthy

Prince Harry could be deported from the US if he lied about taking drugs on his American visa application, according to former US President Donald Trump.&nbsp;

In an interview with GB News (of which preview aired recently), Donald Trump can be seen commenting on visa drama concerning Prince Harry. The British royal who now lives in California is speculated to have taken drugs and lied about it. In the interview, Trump said, “We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”

When asked if it meant that he would not get to stay in America, Trump replied, “Oh I don’t know. You’ll have to tell me. You just have to tell me.”

<h2>Prince Harry's visa row</h2>

Prince Harry’s visa status has been in focus&nbsp;ever since an American think tank, the Heritage Foundation, sued the Department of Homeland Security last year for access to his immigration records.&nbsp;

For the unversed, certain American visa applications need the person to disclose whether they have ever taken drugs. If found using drugs, the application can be denied.&nbsp;

Previously, other public figures have run into issues entering the US over their reported drug use.&nbsp;

The issue came to notice when Prince Harry mentioned the use of drugs in his memoir, Spare. In his memoir, he spoke about using various drugs and psychedelics including cocaine, marijuana and magic mushrooms. It is unclear whether he declared using the same on his visa application.&nbsp;

Ever since the revelation happened, many right-wing commentators in the US and UK&nbsp;have turned against Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. The couple left the UK and stepped away from royal duties. They now reside in the US.&nbsp;

Kate Middleton's medical reports allegedly accessed by hospital staff 'illegally'

Al Russell, chief executive of The London Clinic, on Wednesday (Mar 20) evening finally broke his silence on claims that staff tried to view the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-kate-middletons-medical-reports-involved-in-a-security-breach-at-the-hospital-reports-702107">medical records of Kate Middleton</a>, Princess of Wales. Notably, Russell didn't make any direct reference to the claims about Kate.&nbsp;

The hospital said "any breach" of patient information would be probed. It is the same hospital where Kate underwent abdominal surgery.&nbsp;

On January 16, she was admitted at The London Clinic, which is frequently used by the Royal Family. King Charles was also treated there in January.&nbsp;

The organisation said that it had "no place" for those intentionally breaching the trust of patients or colleagues.&nbsp;

Notably, to access the medical records of a patient without the consent of the organisation's data controller is a criminal offence for any staff in a National Health Service (NHS) or private healthcare facilities.&nbsp;

This comes after, the British tabloid Daily Mirror reported that "at least one member of staff was said to have been caught trying to access" Kate's private medical records while she was a patient there.&nbsp;

Russell said in a statement that all his employees were "acutely aware" of their "individual, professional, ethical and legal duties with regards to patient confidentiality".&nbsp;

"We take enormous pride in the outstanding care and discretion we aim to deliver for all our patients who put their trust in us every day," he continued.

"We have systems in place to monitor management of patient information and, in the case of any breach, all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken," he added.&nbsp;

Kate Middleton health: The London Clinic chief finally responds to privacy breach reports

If eyes are the window to one’s soul, teeth are sure shot personality detectors. How you maintain oral health, how shiny your teeth are and what you do to keep them glistening white and fresh are just some things that tell the world your seriousness towards physical health.

On World Oral Health Day on March 20, we got in touch with a few dental care experts who spoke about the importance of practising healthy dietary habits, kicking the butt of some unhealthy habits like smoking and vaping, and including basic hygiene practices to keep that smile on your face pretty.&nbsp;

<h2>Good Health Starts With Oral Health</h2>

Dentists Dr Syed Naveed Alam and Dr Rinta Sara Reji of RxDx Healthcare rightly said that there is no health without oral health before laying down simple hygiene basics that most of us know of but many a times skip, including brushing twice daily, flossing, using correct toothbrush and practicing tongue scraping.&nbsp;

Among healthy dietary habits, they advised on consuming crunchy fruits and vegetables for natural tooth surface cleaning and increased saliva production. The dentists also mentioned that staying hydrated is of prime importance for oral health. They said that as you drink more water, it counteracts the adverse effects of sticky and acidic meals and beverages that can in turn harm your teeth.&nbsp;

Expert Tips on Keeping Oral Health in Check:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Keep your blood sugar in check to reduce the risk of gum disease and other complications.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Don't ignore chronic jaw pain or clicking sounds.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Seek professional advice for sudden changes in taste and smell.</li>
	<li>Schedule at least one annual dental checkup (ideally, twice a year), even if you have no natural teeth or have dentures.</li>
</ul>

Dr Sheetal Kochhar of Max Multi Speciality Centre, Panchsheel Park pointed out that as we age, our teeth and gums undergo changes. Maintaining good oral health like physical exercise is a lifelong commitment.&nbsp; 
 
From the first day the tooth erupts in the oral cavity to our old age, our oral health plays a pivotal role in maintaining our well being.

<h2>Ayurveda: Age-Old Art Of Keeping Fit</h2>

Ayurveda deals with oral health a bit differently since it stresses on the use of herbal and organic products and traditional techniques of keeping oral health in check. Dr Monica B. Sood, CEO, Navjivan Health Services spoke about India’s gift of Ayurveda to the world and how in it we can have takeaways of a holistic approach to health. She mentioned that there are invaluable insights and practical techniques to nurture optimal oral hygiene across all ages and stages of life in Ayurveda.&nbsp;

Why Ayurveda works better over its contemporaries is because it perceives oral health as an integral component of holistic wellness, emphasising the equilibrium of mind, body, and spirit. Central to its philosophy is the notion of balancing the doshas—vata, pitta, and kapha—whose imbalances may manifest as oral ailments.&nbsp;

Ayurvedic Oral Care Rituals:

Daily Oil Pulling (Gandusha): Commence each day with a ritualistic swish of organic sesame or coconut oil in the mouth for 10-15 minutes. This ancient practice serves as a potent detoxifier, eliminating toxins, bacteria, and plaque, thereby fortifying gum health and thwarting cavities.

Herbal Tooth Powder: Replace commercial toothpaste with herbal tooth powders infused with neem, clove, and babool bark. Laden with antimicrobial properties, these natural ingredients combat oral bacteria while fortifying teeth and gums.

Tongue Scraping (Jihwya Prakshalana): Get a copper or stainless-steel tongue scraper to delicately expunge bacteria and debris from the tongue's surface. Beyond enhancing oral hygiene, this Ayurvedic tradition augments taste perception and aids digestion.

Gum Massage (Gingival Massage): Engage in regular gum massages using herbal oils like sesame or neem oil to enhance circulation, mitigate inflammation, and bolster gum tissue. This practice fosters gum health and serves as a bulwark against periodontal maladies.

Chewing Herbal Sticks (Datun): Embrace the age-old practice of chewing neem or licorice sticks, hailed in Ayurveda for their teeth-cleansing prowess, breath-freshening properties, and antibacterial efficacy. These natural chewing sticks also fortify gums and stimulate saliva production, facilitating enamel remineralization.

Tailored Ayurvedic Care for Each Life Stage:

• Children (Ages 0-12): Cultivate early oral hygiene habits by introducing gentle herbal toothpaste or powder devoid of harsh chemicals. Encourage regular brushing, infusing it with fun elements like colourful toothbrushes and interactive songs. Limit sugary consumables to safeguard against cavities and foster robust tooth development.

• Teens (Ages 13-19): Adolescence heralds hormonal fluctuations that can impact oral health, precipitating gum sensitivity and halitosis. Alongside routine oral care, advocate for a balanced diet replete with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Restricting intake of sugary and acidic fare shields tooth enamel. Routine dental check-ups become imperative to monitor orthodontic progress and preempt emerging issues.

• Adults (Ages 20-59): Amidst the whirlwind of adult responsibilities, oral hygiene often takes a backseat. Yet, prioritising periodic dental check-ups, daily oral care regimens, and stress-alleviation techniques remains pivotal. Infuse Ayurvedic practices like oil pulling and tongue scraping into morning rituals for a revitalised, healthy oral cavity. Abstain from tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption to mitigate the risk of gum disease and oral malignancies.

•Seniors (Ages 60 and above): Ageing precipitates shifts in oral health dynamics, such as dry mouth, tooth sensitivity, and heightened susceptibility to gum disease. Seniors ought to accord special attention to oral hygiene, availing themselves of regular dental visits for check-ups and cleanings. Consider integrating fluoride mouth rinses or remineralising toothpaste to shield ageing teeth and stave off decay. Sustained hydration and a nutrient-rich diet fortify both oral and systemic health.

By assimilating age-old rituals like oil pulling, tongue scraping, and herbal remedies into daily routines, one can attain not only optimal oral health but also a resplendent smile that mirrors holistic wellness. The expert reminded that good oral hygiene transcends mere aesthetics; it fosters a profound synergy among mind, body, and spirit, catalysing a richer, more fulfilling life journey.

World Oral Health Day: Experts share best practices for good oral health

After Kate Middleton's Mother's Day post, another photograph featuring members of the royal family has come under scrutiny after a global picture agency revealed it had been “digitally enhanced at source.”&nbsp;

Getty Images, a prominent picture agency, added an editor’s note to a photo taken at Balmoral in August 2022 and released by Buckingham Palace last year to mark what would have been the late Queen’s 97th birthday.

The image depicts Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, Lena Tindall, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Isla Phillips, Prince Louis, Mia Tindall, baby Lucas Tindall, and Savannah Phillips.

The Guardian quoted Getty's spokesperson as saying, “Getty Images has reviewed the image in question and placed an editor’s note on it, stating that the image has been digitally enhanced at source.”

Media outlets and netizens have found several notable discrepancies in the photo, including a vertical line where the tartan of the late queen’s skirt does not align, a dark shadow behind Prince Louis’ ear, and a similar small black patch behind Prince George’s shirt collar.&nbsp;

This development follows the recent controversy surrounding another photo of the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, released for Mother’s Day, which was also flagged for digital enhancement.

Kate later apologised via a social media post for the controversy the edited image caused. "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.

I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on March 11.

'Enhanced at source': Another royal family photo featuring late Queen Elizabeth II sparks controversy

Rumours of an affair brewing between Prince William and Rose Hanbury have come back to haunt the British royals amid a whole spectacle of drama and public speculation as Kate Middleton continues to remain away from the public eye since her surgery in January. While netizens are&nbsp;worried for Kate’s health, her&nbsp;eerie absence from every public engagement has brought to the surface rumours that many think could be the reason why Kate is avoiding being seen in public.

Some netizens feel William and Kate's marriage could be on the rocks owing to the former's&nbsp;alleged romantic tryst. As the buzz around the affair gained momentum, Rose Hanbury, the alleged mistress, denied the rumours.&nbsp;

<img alt="Kate" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="871806e6-69e8-4279-9012-9e1164f830a4" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202024-03-19T120911.879.jpg" />

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/kate-middleton-mystery-where-is-the-princess-since-surgery-in-january-2024-699557">Kate Middleton Mystery: Where is the Princess since surgery in January 2024?</a>

On March 18, Rose Hanbury’s lawyers told Business Insider that any and all reporting of improper relations between William, and Hanbury "is completely false".

<h2>Who is Rose Hanbury?&nbsp;</h2>

Rose Hanbury is a 40-year-old former model. She’s officially named Sarah Rose Cholmondeley, Marchioness of Cholmondeley. She and her husband David Rocksavage, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley are parents to three children -- 15-year-old twins Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage; Lord Oliver Timothy George Cholmondeley; and their 8-year-old daughter, Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley.

<img alt="Rose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a1771848-2dab-456c-a42d-186f7b880aeb" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20%28100%29_2.jpg" />

Rose and her husband met in Italy in 2003 and were engaged six years later. They tied the knot at a private ceremony at Chelsea Town Hall in London in 2009.

<h2>Rose and her Royal connection</h2>

It’s widely reported that Rose’s family has a&nbsp;long history with the British royal family. According to reports, her grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, served as one of Queen Elizabeth II's bridesmaids when she married Phillip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947.

Rose and her husband David also happened to be neighbours to William and Kate. Rose moved to the area with her husband in 2009.&nbsp;

Rose and William’s affair rumours started circulating in April 2019. At the time, a UK tabloid reported that Kate and Rose, who were good friends, had a fallout with each other because of the&nbsp;affair rumours. It was around that time during an outing when Kate was seen giving William the cold shoulder as he tried to indulge in some PDA.&nbsp;

The Palace, however, chose to stay mum about the rumours and royally ignored them. A royal expert named Omid Scobie who wrote the book “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival”, mentioned the rumour but briefly. The expert told media, "Unfortunately, if a rumour's left to kind of do its own thing it can run 20 laps around the world before you even think about what, how you want to kind of address it," the royal expert and author told ET. "They never addressed it, so those rumours will never go away even though there's no truth to suggest that they are true."

<h2>What’s up with Kate Middleton?</h2>

The Princess of Wales, meanwhile, is away from the public eye and has maintained her distance since the medical emergency for which she underwent surgery. The Kensington Palace announced in January that she underwent abdominal surgery and will keep away from public engagement until Easter. This coincided with King Charles III's heath emergency break. The King has taken a break from social commitments owing to poor health, leading to his wife Queen Camilla taking over duties for a bit. The Queen also later took a break from royal duties leading to other members of the family stepping in.

Then Kate was all over the news when Kensington Palace shared a Mother’s Day post featuring Kate and her children, assuring everyone that she was doing okay. The picture, however, turned out to be <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-kate-middleton-controversy-kensignton-palace-no-longer-a-trusted-source-for-photo-agency-700462">edited</a> and “manipulated”. Later, the Princess admitted to using tools to edit the picture. Kate apologised and wrote, "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I&nbsp;wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused."&nbsp;

Most recently, Kate Middleton was seen <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kate-middleton-spotted-in-public-onlookers-say-she-was-happy-and-healthy-report-701542">enjoying a walk</a> with her husband Prince William. She was taking a stroll to her&nbsp;favourite farm shop, which is a mile away from her Adelaide Cottage. According to the onlookers, Kate looked “happy, relaxed and healthy” during her farm visit.&nbsp;The couple were also spotted watching their children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 &nbsp;taking part in the sports activities.&nbsp;

But not everyone is convinced that it’s her, especially after the photo goof-up.&nbsp;

While the princess has not made any official public outings since her December 25 appearance, she has been spotted outside the palace two times. A few days back, she was reportedly seen with Prince William while leaving Windsor Castle for Westminster Abbey to attend Commonwealth Day Service. She was seen sitting in the backseat. Before this, she was captured with her mother Carole outside the Windsor castle.&nbsp;

It has been reported that Kate Middleton will reveal more details about her abdominal surgery once she resumes her duties.

Rumours of an affair brewing between Prince William and Rose Hanbury have come back to haunt the British royals amid a whole spectacle of drama and public speculation as Kate Middleton continues to remain away from the public eye since her surgery in January.

Rumours of an affair brewing between Prince William and Rose Hanbury have come back to haunt the British royals amid a whole spectacle of drama and public speculation as Kate Middleton continues to remain away from the public eye since her surgery in January. While netizens are worried for Kate’s health, her eerie absence from every public engagement has brought to the surface rumours that many think could be the reason why Kate is avoiding being seen in public. Some netizens feel William and Kate's marriage could be on the rocks owing to the former's alleged romantic tryst. As the buzz around the affair gained momentum, Rose Hanbury, the alleged mistress, denied the rumours. Kate Middleton Mystery: Where is the Princess since surgery in January 2024? On March 18, Rose Hanbury’s lawyers told Business Insider that any and all reporting of improper relations between William, and Hanbury "is completely false". Who is Rose Hanbury? Rose Hanbury is a 40-year-old former model. She’s officially named Sarah Rose Cholmondeley, Marchioness of Cholmondeley. She and her husband David Rocksavage, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley are parents to three children -- 15-year-old twins Alexander Hugh George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage; Lord Oliver Timothy George Cholmondeley; and their 8-year-old daughter, Lady Iris Marina Aline Cholmondeley. Rose and her husband met in Italy in 2003 and were engaged six years later. They tied the knot at a private ceremony at Chelsea Town Hall in London in 2009. Rose and her Royal connection It’s widely reported that Rose’s family has a long history with the British royal family. According to reports, her grandmother, Lady Elizabeth Lambart, served as one of Queen Elizabeth II's bridesmaids when she married Phillip Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947. Rose and her husband David also happened to be neighbours to William and Kate. Rose moved to the area with her husband in 2009. Rose and William’s affair rumours started circulating in April 2019. At the time, a UK tabloid reported that Kate and Rose, who were good friends, had a fallout with each other because of the affair rumours. It was around that time during an outing when Kate was seen giving William the cold shoulder as he tried to indulge in some PDA. The Palace, however, chose to stay mum about the rumours and royally ignored them. A royal expert named Omid Scobie who wrote the book “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival”, mentioned the rumour but briefly. The expert told media, "Unfortunately, if a rumour's left to kind of do its own thing it can run 20 laps around the world before you even think about what, how you want to kind of address it," the royal expert and author told ET. "They never addressed it, so those rumours will never go away even though there's no truth to suggest that they are true." What’s up with Kate Middleton? The Princess of Wales, meanwhile, is away from the public eye and has maintained her distance since the medical emergency for which she underwent surgery. The Kensington Palace announced in January that she underwent abdominal surgery and will keep away from public engagement until Easter. This coincided with King Charles III's heath emergency break. The King has taken a break from social commitments owing to poor health, leading to his wife Queen Camilla taking over duties for a bit. The Queen also later took a break from royal duties leading to other members of the family stepping in. Then Kate was all over the news when Kensington Palace shared a Mother’s Day post featuring Kate and her children, assuring everyone that she was doing okay. The picture, however, turned out to be edited and “manipulated”. Later, the Princess admitted to using tools to edit the picture.

Kate Middleton to talk about her health woes when she resumes royal duties: Reports

Pregnancy is a transformative journey, and ensuring a healthy, full-term pregnancy is essential for the well-being of both the mother and the baby. Preterm birth, defined as childbirth before 37 weeks of pregnancy completion, can pose risks to the infant's health and development. Over one in 10 births globally in 2020 were preterm, with an estimated 13.4 million babies born before their due date. These early arrivals confront serious health issues.

Speaking exclusively to WION, Dr Mangla Gowri K, Chief Fertility Specialist &amp; Centre Head of Santaan Bengaluru, shared four strategies to prevent preterm birth. Take a look!

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Nutritious Diet

A well-balanced and nutritious diet is fundamental for a healthy pregnancy. A variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products provide essential nutrients such as folic acid, iron, and calcium. Adequate hydration is equally important. Consult with a healthcare professional to tailor the diet to individual needs.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Regular Exercise

Physical activity during pregnancy offers numerous benefits, including improved mood, reduced discomfort, and enhanced overall well-being. Engaging in moderate exercise, such as walking or swimming, can contribute to a healthy pregnancy. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting or modifying an exercise routine.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Avoiding Harmful Substances

Steering clear of harmful substances is paramount. This includes avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs. Smoking and substance abuse significantly increase the risk of preterm birth and can have detrimental effects on foetal development. If assistance is needed to quit these habits, seeking support from healthcare professionals is advised.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Managing Stress

Chronic stress during pregnancy may contribute to preterm birth. Implementing stress-reducing techniques, such as prenatal yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises, can promote emotional well-being. Open communication with loved ones and seeking support when needed are also crucial aspects of stress management.

Preterm labour can be avoided or postponed using a variety of medical procedures, which also assist the unborn child to become ready for life outside the womb. Preventive measures, maintaining a healthy weight and nutrition, and managing stress are some of the strategies to lower the risk of premature labour.&nbsp;

Medical expert reveals how pregnant women can reduce risk of premature birth

Meghan Markle is back on Instagram. The Duchess of Sussex announced a new venture as she returned to the photo-sharing platform with a surprise new project called American Riviera Orchard. The Instagram page for what appears to be a lifestyle brand carried a bio that reads: "By Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Established 2024."

The first post on the page is that of Meghan Markle, who is seen picking flowers and cooking in a kitchen set to the song “I Wish You Love” by singer Nancy Wilson.&nbsp;

<h2>What is American Riviera Orchard?</h2>

From what we understand, American Riviera Orchard seems to be a nod to Santa Barbara, the California town where Meghan and her husband Prince Harry reside with their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Most locals call Santa Barbara the “American Riviera”. This, is “because of its temperate climate and lush landscapes”. Locals also highly publicise its world-class wine culture.&nbsp;

Meghan Markle’s new venture comes with a logo that includes the name Montecito, the name of the neighbourhood where they reside.

Meghan plans to venture into home interior space with the brand as reports suggest that a trademark application for the same is currently under examination. Once approved, American Riviera Orchard will sell tableware, drinkware including decanters, kitchen linens and edible treats such as jellies, jams, marmalade and spreads. The trademark application is also seeking approval for cookbooks.

The photographer who clicked Kate Middleton leaving Windsor Castle with Prince William in a car on Monday has responded to speculation on whether the picture was photoshopped.&nbsp; 
 
The photo of the couple came days after it emerged that Kate’s photograph with her three children on Mother’s Day was doctored. Several news agencies pulled down the image over concerns of ‘manipulation’.&nbsp;

On Monday, hours after Kate Middleton admitted to the photoshopped guffaw, photographer Jim Bennett captured her and Prince William while leaving Windsor Castle for Westminster Abbey to attend Commonwealth Day Service.&nbsp; 
 
"We don't change our photos in Photoshop other than adjusting the light levels if necessary," Bennett told Fox News Digital. 
 
Middleton was pictured riding in the backseat of a vehicle alongside the Prince of Wales. This was only the second sighting of the Princess of Wales since Christmas Day.&nbsp;

Bennett, who works with Goff Photos, explained the difficulty in capturing shots of moving vehicles.&nbsp;"Car shots are unpredictable at the best of times and with some reflection on the glass it can be difficult," he said.&nbsp; 
 
"As it happened, it wasn’t until I checked on the back of the camera to make sure I had a frame of Prince William that I realized there was someone sitting next to him. It turned out to be Catherine!"

Is Kate Middleton’s recent snap inside the car doctored? Photographer responds

It’s not easy entertaining the little ones. They can easily get bored or lose interest in whatever they are doing and move on to something else. When Nick Jr. show Masha and The Bear debuted in India with its live theatrical adaptation in December 2023, it became a rage for kids and parents alike.

Now in its last leg of the all-India tour for this season, we got in touch with Vishaal Asrani, director of the show who spoke about writing-directing such live theatrical shows&nbsp;that help transport children to a world of magic, entertain them and educate them through the ride.&nbsp;

Here are the excerpts from our chat:&nbsp;

WION: Writing for kids needs a special skill – you have to break it down and make it really simple while also staying true to entertainment. What did you have in mind while directing Masha and The Bear?

Vishaal: Kids are the toughest audience to please. If you can’t keep them glued to the action for even a few moments, you’ve lost their interest. I have directed a number of stage adaptations of internationally acclaimed movies such as, DreamWorks’ Madagascar, Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs to name a few. So, while directing Masha, I had to make sure it was correctly paced. I wanted the show to be high on energy and yet simple enough for the little ones to understand.&nbsp;

Each scene has dance, music, costume changes, visual effects and of course magic on stage.

<img alt="Masha" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b6240e1d-0559-4e6e-933c-580c6a0133e1" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202024-03-15T162844.568.jpg" />

WION: ⁠It’s a widely watched TV show by kids worldwide, were there any challenges in adapting it for Indian audiences?

Vishaal: While adapting anything for the stage, when it is already so popular on TV, one has to maintain the characteristics of the characters that made them such a phenomenon in the first place. I wanted the actors on stage to be as close in look, movement and voice to the originals in the show. It was challenging to make actors move around in 8 foot high costumes and be in charge of gimmicks and special effects too.

Other than that, there wasn’t much of a challenge adapting it for the “Indian audience” per se, as now the audiences are the same worldwide.

WION: What do you love the most about the response to the show by kids?

Vishaal: The squeals of joy when they see their favourite characters appear on stage. The show is highly interactive and is full of audience participation. The cutest is seeing the parents dance and sing along with the kids too, mimicking the choreography that we have set on stage. It’s like watching the adults in the audience go back to their childhood days.

<img alt="Masha" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="97c77fb1-a7b7-4a56-bc94-4dbfe0114bd4" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202024-03-15T162930.162.jpg" />

WION: Who is your favourite among the characters?

Vishaal: It’s like asking a parent to choose a favourite among their children! I have no favourite, but I do have favourite traits of each character I love. The loyalty of Masha to her friends, the fatherly protective nature of the Bear, the cuteness of Panda, the wild side of Rosie the Piggy, &nbsp;the strong bonds of friendship that Snowy and Masha share, the craziness of Professor Nonbelievious and so much more. I think what’s most important is that the all characters have something nice about them and teach children many important life lessons, such as the significance of friends, loyalty, acceptance, diversity and respect for all living beings.&nbsp;

WION: When is the next set of performances and where?

Vishaal: The next set of performances are in Mumbai on March 16 and 17 at Balgandharva Rang Mandir auditorium in Bandra, Mumbai. We have 3 shows each day. 11:30 am| 2:30 pm| and 6:00 pm.

WION: Would you like to take it outside of India?

Vishaal: Sure! It’s &nbsp;a world class show and we would love to take it all over the globe if it can be worked out. I’m sure audiences world over will love it.

It’s not easy entertaining the little ones. They can easily get bored or lose interest in whatever they are doing and move on to something else. When Nick Jr. show Masha and The Bear debuted in India with its live theatrical adaptation in December 2023, it became a rage for kids and parents alike.

It’s not easy entertaining the little ones. They can easily get bored or lose interest in whatever they are doing and move on to something else. When Nick Jr. show Masha and The Bear debuted in India with its live theatrical adaptation in December 2023, it became a rage for kids and parents alike. Now in its last leg of the all-India tour for this season, we got in touch with Vishaal Asrani, director of the show who spoke about writing-directing such live theatrical shows that help transport children to a world of magic, entertain them and educate them through the ride. Here are the excerpts from our chat: WION: Writing for kids needs a special skill – you have to break it down and make it really simple while also staying true to entertainment. What did you have in mind while directing Masha and The Bear? Vishaal: Kids are the toughest audience to please. If you can’t keep them glued to the action for even a few moments, you’ve lost their interest. I have directed a number of stage adaptations of internationally acclaimed movies such as, DreamWorks’ Madagascar, Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs to name a few. So, while directing Masha, I had to make sure it was correctly paced. I wanted the show to be high on energy and yet simple enough for the little ones to understand. Each scene has dance, music, costume changes, visual effects and of course magic on stage. WION: ⁠It’s a widely watched TV show by kids worldwide, were there any challenges in adapting it for Indian audiences? Vishaal: While adapting anything for the stage, when it is already so popular on TV, one has to maintain the characteristics of the characters that made them such a phenomenon in the first place. I wanted the actors on stage to be as close in look, movement and voice to the originals in the show. It was challenging to make actors move around in 8 foot high costumes and be in charge of gimmicks and special effects too. Other than that, there wasn’t much of a challenge adapting it for the “Indian audience” per se, as now the audiences are the same worldwide. WION: What do you love the most about the response to the show by kids? Vishaal: The squeals of joy when they see their favourite characters appear on stage. The show is highly interactive and is full of audience participation. The cutest is seeing the parents dance and sing along with the kids too, mimicking the choreography that we have set on stage. It’s like watching the adults in the audience go back to their childhood days. WION: Who is your favourite among the characters? Vishaal: It’s like asking a parent to choose a favourite among their children! I have no favourite, but I do have favourite traits of each character I love. The loyalty of Masha to her friends, the fatherly protective nature of the Bear, the cuteness of Panda, the wild side of Rosie the Piggy, the strong bonds of friendship that Snowy and Masha share, the craziness of Professor Nonbelievious and so much more.

Masha and The Bear LIVE director Vishaal Asrani speaks on adaptation of world's most beloved kids TV show

Kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste products, regulating blood pressure, and maintaining electrolyte balance in the body. During pregnancy, the kidneys work even harder to eliminate waste products from both the mother and the developing baby. This increased workload can put additional strain on the kidneys, especially for women with pre-existing kidney conditions.

Physiological Changes During Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings about significant physiological changes that affect kidney function. These include:

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Increased blood volume: The body's blood volume increases by up to 30%–50% during pregnancy to support the growing fetus. This puts additional strain on the kidneys to filter the extra volume.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Hormonal changes: Pregnancy hormones, especially progesterone, lead to heightened levels of progesterone which diminish ureteral peristalsis. This reduction in peristalsis causes dilation of the ureter above the pelvic brim. This natural physiological process, known as hydronephrosis, can result in urine stagnation, potentially increasing the risk of stone formation and complicating diagnosis, as we will explore further.

Risks Associated with Kidney Disease in Pregnancy

While most women with healthy kidneys experience normal pregnancies, those with pre-existing kidney disease require close monitoring and specialised care. Pre-existing conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD) can increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby, such as:

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Preeclampsia: A pregnancy complication characterised by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, such as the kidneys.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Preterm birth: The baby is born prior to completing 37 weeks of gestation.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Low birth weight: Babies born weighing less than 2.5 kg (5.5 pounds).

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Increased maternal mortality: The risk of death for the mother due to pregnancy complications.

Importance of Early Detection and Management

Early detection and management of pre-existing kidney disease are crucial for improving pregnancy outcomes. Women with known kidney disease should consult their healthcare provider before getting pregnant to discuss the potential risks and necessary precautions. Regular prenatal care, including blood pressure monitoring and kidney function tests, is essential for managing kidney health during pregnancy.

Optimising Kidney Health During Pregnancy

Even for women without pre-existing kidney conditions, certain measures can help optimise kidney health during pregnancy:

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Maintaining a healthy weight: Obesity can increase the risk of kidney complications during pregnancy.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Following a balanced diet: Consuming a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and added sugars can support overall health and kidney function.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Staying hydrated: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps the kidneys flush out waste products effectively.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Managing blood pressure: High blood pressure can strain the kidneys more. Working with a healthcare provider to manage blood pressure effectively is crucial.

●&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol: These habits can worsen kidney function and increase the risk of complications during pregnancy.

By raising awareness, promoting early detection and management of pre-existing conditions, and practising healthy habits, we can work towards ensuring optimal health for both mothers and babies during pregnancy and beyond.

Pregnancy and kidney health: All you need to know

Smoking and alcohol consumption have long been associated with various health risks, but their detrimental effects on eye health are often underestimated. Smoking and regular alcohol affects not only your overall well-being but also impacts your eyes says, Dr Ankit Deokar, Consultant-Cornea, Sankara Eye Centre, Indore.

<h2>Smoking and its effect on vision</h2>

Following are some of the impacts of regular smoking and alcohol consumption on eye health and the potential risks associated with them:

Increased Risk of Cataracts: Smoking is a well-established risk factor for the development of cataracts. The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke contribute to the clouding of the eye's natural lens.

Macular Degeneration: Smoking has been linked to an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss among older adults. AMD affects the central part of the retina, leading to a loss of central vision.

Smoking and Diabetic Retinopathy: Engaging in smoking elevates the likelihood of experiencing diverse complications related to diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy. It also increases the likelihood of vision-threatening complications.

<h2>Effects of regular alcohol consumption on vision</h2>

Dr. Anand Kalaskar, General Physician, Apollo Clinic, Nigdi, Pune says, "Smoking and alcohol consumption can have significant adverse effects on eye health, impacting various aspects of vision and increasing the risk of developing serious eye conditions."

Glaucoma: Excessive alcohol consumption can have detrimental effects on the eyes. Alcohol can disrupt the delicate balance of fluid pressure within the eyes, leading to fluctuations that may increase the risk of developing conditions such as glaucoma.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Chronic alcohol abuse can also contribute to nutritional deficiencies that affect eye health, such as a deficiency in vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy vision.

Eye trauma: Alcohol consumption can impair judgment and coordination, increasing the risk of eye injuries from accidents or falls. This can result in trauma to the eyes, ranging from minor injuries like corneal abrasions to more severe conditions such as retinal detachment.

Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol consumption are essential steps towards maintaining optimal eye health. Regular eye check-ups and a healthy lifestyle contribute to preventing vision-related issues associated with these harmful habits.

Additionally, regular eye check-ups and a healthy lifestyle, including a well-balanced diet, can contribute to maintaining optimal eye health throughout life. As with any health-related matter, individuals are advised to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised advice and guidance based on their specific circumstances.

Meghan Markle can finally put her legal quarrels with half-sister behind her as the court granted a motion to dismiss the case in its entirety. This comes after almost two years of litigation and several amended complaints. US District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell ruled in favour of Meghan Markle and threw out the defamation case from her half-sister Samantha Markle.&nbsp;

<h2>Judge dismisses defamation case</h2>

In a 58-page order issued on March 12, the Florida-based judge presiding over the case ruled, “The Court grants the motion to dismiss, in full. Plaintiff’s claims will be dismissed with prejudice, as she has failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation or defamation-by-implication by this point, her third try at amending her complaint, in either the book Finding Freedom, the Netflix series Harry &amp; Meghan, or Defendant and her husband’s hour-long televised CBS Interview.”

Samantha had filed a case against half-sister Meghan over her “false and malicious comments” about her, the elder offspring of Thomas Markle Sr. She also said that the estranged royal has on many occasions claimed to be “an only child” in various interviews.&nbsp;

The court ruled, “Defendant’s answer, in context, is clearly her opinion of her own childhood and relationship with Plaintiff. It is neither objectively verifiable nor subject to empirical proof. Therefore, it cannot support a claim for defamation and must be dismissed.”

Kate Middleton Mystery: Where is the Princess since surgery in January 2024?

Royal fans have raised suspicions about a recent family portrait shared by Kensington Palace on Instagram, suggesting that an old Vogue cover from 2016 featuring&nbsp;Kate Middleton could have been used to edit the image. The controversy arose after the Associated Press and other news agencies confirmed that the photo had been edited, leading to a retraction of the image.

On Sunday, AP announced that they would be retracting the image, stating, "At closer inspection, it appears that the source has manipulated the image."

Kate Middleton addressed the issue on her Instagram Stories, where she shared a statement expressing her apologies for any confusion caused by the family photograph. She explained, "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion with the family photograph we shared yesterday caused."

Ruby Naldrett, from the UK newspaper the Daily Mirror, shared her theory on social media, suggesting that the 2016 Vogue cover image was used in the family portrait. She wrote, "My analysis of the Kate Middleton photo saga is that they took her face from the Vogue cover she did years ago and edited it in," alongside comparisons.

While some users agreed with Ruby's theory, others were less convinced. Some defended Kate, pointing out that it's common for a person's face to look similar in different photos.

TJ Thomson, a visual media and communication expert at RMIT University, shared his analysis with Yahoo Lifestyle, stating that while there are similarities between the Vogue cover and the family portrait, it's not an exact match.&nbsp;

"I overlaid the Vogue cover on top of the Instagram image and think there are some similarities, but it's not, in my estimation, an exact match. Perhaps something like an 80-90 per cent overlap?" Thomson said.

He suggested that the portrait may have been slightly edited.&nbsp;"It's probably more or less real, there could be a little bit of airbrushing, a little bit of smoothing, teeth whitening — that kind of thing, I think the basic components probably are accurate. But it's just a matter of if they are all accurate at the same point in time, at that same location that the photo is claiming it is," Thomson stated.

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, issued an apology after a Mother's Day photograph sparked concerns over editing, leading multiple picture agencies to retract the image. In a statement shared on Kensington Palace's social media, Kate expressed regret, stating, "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C" The controversy emerged when major picture agencies, including Getty, Associated Press, Reuters, and AFP, removed the first official photo of Kate after surgery, citing potential manipulation. The image, taken by Prince William in Windsor, featured Kate smiling with her three children to mark Mother's Day. The post's caption read, "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months. Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C. Picture credit - The Prince of Wales, 2024."

Kate, Princess of Wales, reveals she edited Mother’s Day pic; apologises for any confusion it caused

Earl Spencer, younger brother of the late Princess Diana, has revealed he was sexually abused during his time at the boarding school. Earl Spencer has opened up about the incident in his memoir and revealed he was targeted by a female member of the staff at Maidwell Hall, Northamptonshire where he studied in the 1970s.&nbsp; 
 
Excerpts from&nbsp;his memoir were published in The Daily Mail where Spencer, 59, revealed that the abuse began when he was just 11 years old.&nbsp;

Reacting to the news, Maidwell Hall said it was "sobering" to learn of Earl Spencer's experiences. The school said allegations of sexual abuse had been referred to a "local authority designated officer". 
 
Earl Spencer attended Maidwell Hall between the ages of eight and 13. 
 
Earl Spencer's memoir A Very Private School&nbsp; 
 
In the new book, he has alleged that a female staff member groomed and abused him and other young boys in their dormitory beds at night. He described her as a 'voracious paedophile.' 
 
Earl Spencer said he had established that the employee now either lives abroad or is dead.&nbsp; 
 
He also alleged the school's then headmaster, John Porch, inflicted "brutal beatings" and he believed the teacher gained "sexual pleasure from the violence".&nbsp; 
 
Earl Spencer said reliving his time at Maidwell had been an "absolutely hellish experience".

Soon after the excerpts of the memoir were made public, Maidwell Hall said it was 'sobering to read about the experiences Charles Spencer, and some of his fellow alumni, had at the school, and we are sorry that was their experience." 
 
"It is difficult to read about practices which were, sadly, sometimes believed to be normal and acceptable at that time. Within education today, almost every facet of school life has evolved significantly since the 1970s. At the heart of the changes is the safeguarding of children, and promotion of their welfare. 
 
"Although we have not directly received any claims from ex-pupils, considering what has been reported, the school has followed the statutory process and made a referral to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO). We would encourage anyone with similar experiences to come forward and contact either Maidwell Hall, the LADO or the police," the statement further stated.&nbsp;

Ever since Britain's Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024, there has been a lot of speculation&nbsp;about when the royal would be resuming her duties. Amid all kinds of stories doing the rounds, including one about her marriage to Prince William being on the rocks, Kate was finally spotted in a car earlier this week with her mother.

Later, the British Army posted on its website that the Princess Of Wales would inspect soldiers during an engagement at the Horse Guards Parade in London on June 8.

The announcement was accompanied by a photo of Kate in her teal green outfit as she inspected the Irish Guards on St. Patrick's Day last year.&nbsp;

However, since Kensington Palace did not confirm the appearance, people weren't so sure of it being true. Soon after, the piece of information was&nbsp;pulled down from the British Army website, adding to the confusion.

About the review 
 
Over 1,400 soldiers will take part in the review, which is a forerunner to the Trooping the Colour parade that will be held the following weekend.&nbsp; 
 
The event will take place on two dates.

King Charles named Kate as the honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards shortly after becoming monarch in 2022.&nbsp;

King Charles to attend Trooping the Colour event 
 
Trooping the Colour is the event to officially mark Britain's King Charles’ birthday. King Charles has been undergoing cancer treatment and has stayed away from the public eye since his diagnosis. He is likely to attend the parade on June 15. 
 
Meanwhile, fans of Kate have been discussing the possibility of the Princess returning to the public eye before June itself. 
 
Princess Kate has attended Trooping the Colour every year since marrying Prince William in 2011 barring the time during the pandemic when it was scaled down due to COVID-19 restrictions. 
 
Kate Middleton's surgery 
 
Kate has been recovering at home&nbsp;- at Adelaide Cottage - since being discharged from the hospital where she spent 13 days. On Monday,&nbsp;she was spotted in a car&nbsp;sitting next to her mother Carole&nbsp;for the first time since her surgery. 
 
Princess Kate’s surgery was announced in a statement by Kensington Palace on Jan&nbsp;17. "The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery," the statement read. "Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."

"The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private," the statement continued. "Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share."
