Princess is back on royal duty. UK's Princess Catherine arrived in Northern Italy on Wednesday for a two-day visit. This is Kate's first official tour since her cancer diagnosis in 2024. 

Britain's Princess Catherine was greeted with cheers during a visit to Italy on Wednesday on her first official foreign trip since her 2024 cancer diagnosis. The Princess of Wales, whose husband Prince William is the heir to the British throne, received a warm welcome in the northern Italian city of Reggio Emilia. At the start of the two-day trip, she met the city's mayor, Marco Massari, as hundreds of cheering onlookers waved British flags and held up signs reading "Ciao Kate" and "We love you, Kate!" Early education is a subject close to the princess's heart as a mother of three children -- George, 12, Charlotte, 11, and Louis, eight. "Knowing that this is her first trip abroad after her hospitalisation, it means a lot. Our city, although small, today has its name in all the newspapers," said Menna Moursi, a local resident. Sergio Ardenghi, a pensioner, said: "Given what has happened to her, she is a very courageous and very determined woman. "She works hard for many good and positive things, and for this reason I admire her even more than her husband," he said. The 44-year-old's trip will focus on her work in early years child development, said a Kensington Palace statement. Kate, as she is widely known, is looking forward to "seeing first-hand how the Reggio Emilia approach creates environments where nature and loving human relationships come together". Kate’s first official trip since her cancer diagnosis Her last official trip abroad was in December 2022, when she travelled to Boston in the United States with William for the awarding of the environmental Earthshot prize. She announced in March 2024 that she had been diagnosed with cancer, without revealing which type and that she had begun chemotherapy. In January 2025, she said she was in remission from cancer, and has been gradually returning to public royal duties. Early years In past years, Catherine has addressed themes of forging connections, the healing power of nature and acts of kindness, as well as her work with children and families. She set up the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood in 2021, working to highlight the importance of a child's early years. The Reggio Emilia philosophy was developed by Italian educator Loris Malaguzzi after World War II, drawing on his years of experience working in early childhood education as well as psychology. The project's roots can be traced to his experience helping a group of women establish a school in a war-torn village in 1945. He later went on to work with children with learning difficulties, which shaped his education philosophy about prioritising individual differences. (With agency inputs)

Alia Bhatt looked straight out of a Disney story as she made her second red carpet appearance on Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Alia attended the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme dressed in a Daniel Frankel outfit. 

It’s giving Disney Princess. For her second appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet, Alia Bhatt chose an icy blue-grey gown that gave out a Disney princess Cindrella or Else vibe. There was a hint of Disney but more couture and high fashion for her look. Alia attended the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme dressed in a dreamy outfit that had a sculpted bodice and a tulle skirt. The fitted corset-style upper half accentuated her figure, and the rest of the flowy tule skirt gave the outfit an overall princess effect. The gown was designed by Daniel Frankel. Alia also chose understated jewellery. A sheer mesh choker complemented the detailing along the neckline, while teardrop-shaped diamond earrings and a pendant added elegance to her look, making the outfit truly worthy of the Cannes red carpet.

Mouni Roy breaks silence on divorce rumours with husband Suraj Nambiar; details inside

<p>Actor Sharib Hashmi, who is best known for playing special agent JK Tapade in Amazon Prime's original series The Family Man, has revealed that his wife Nasreen’s oral cancer has relapsed for the sixth time. Nasreen has been a five-time oral cancer survivor since she was first diagnosed in 2018. The couple are bravely putting up a fight as Nasreen deals with the disease.&nbsp;</p><h2>‘This shall pass too’</h2><p>The couple recently spoke to Hautterfly about their relationship and Nasreen’s long cancer battle.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"She has undergone surgery five times now. She has relapsed five times. It has come back for the sixth time. This time it has spread everywhere. This shall pass too—the treatment is going on. Jis tareeke se ye deal kar rahi thi, usse hum sab ko himmat fir milne lagi. Uska jo cancer hai, kaafi aggressive nature ka hai, isliye itni baar relapse hota hai, lekin uske bawajood bhi ye kaafi himmat ke saath ussey deal karti hai. Fight karti hai (The way she deals with it gives us the courage. The cancer is very aggressive, hence it has relapsed so much. But still, she has been fighting so well)."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nasreen shared how he has been a rock-solid support during the crisis.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"He didn't leave my side. Even if there was a shoot and he was busy, he still manages to reach the hospital. From the time we are in the hospital till discharge, he would take his bag and sit there. He would not move. Constantly, him being there used to feel very good to me—that he is there for me. That was comforting. In many ways, he has been there," Nasreen said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/the-family-man-season-2-review-manoj-bajpayee-samantha-shine-in-a-worthy-sequel-389455"><strong>'The Family Man' season 2 review: Manoj Bajpayee, Samantha shine in a worthy sequel&nbsp;</strong></a></p><h2>Sharib Hashmi and Nasreen faced several ups and downs</h2><p>The couple married in 2003 and are parents to a daughter and a son. The pair admitted that they have seen a fair share of struggle together. Sharib quit his job at MTV to pursue acting full-time. The initial years of struggle saw the couple selling their home and Nasreen’s jewellery to stay afloat.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The couple also spoke about a time when the bad times stretched for so long that Sharib Hashmi ended up blaming his wife.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nasreen Hashmi said, “There was a moment when he was very disappointed. And he started telling me, 'Why did you allow me to quit my job? If you'd stopped me, then this crisis wouldn't have happened.' At that time, I was shaken. How can you say such a thing? It's your dream, but we've supported you as a family. There should be no regrets. Don't say such a thing again.”</p>

Actor Sharib Hashmi, best known for his role in The Family Man, has revealed that his wife Nasreen is battling oral cancer for the sixth time. The actor revealed that Nasreen was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in 2018 which keeps relapsing.

Actor Sharib Hashmi, who is best known for playing special agent JK Tapade in Amazon Prime's original series The Family Man, has revealed that his wife Nasreen’s oral cancer has relapsed for the sixth time. Nasreen has been a five-time oral cancer survivor since she was first diagnosed in 2018. The couple are bravely putting up a fight as Nasreen deals with the disease. ‘This shall pass too’ The couple recently spoke to Hautterfly about their relationship and Nasreen’s long cancer battle. "She has undergone surgery five times now. She has relapsed five times. It has come back for the sixth time. This time it has spread everywhere. This shall pass too—the treatment is going on. Jis tareeke se ye deal kar rahi thi, usse hum sab ko himmat fir milne lagi. Uska jo cancer hai, kaafi aggressive nature ka hai, isliye itni baar relapse hota hai, lekin uske bawajood bhi ye kaafi himmat ke saath ussey deal karti hai. Fight karti hai (The way she deals with it gives us the courage. The cancer is very aggressive, hence it has relapsed so much. But still, she has been fighting so well)." Nasreen shared how he has been a rock-solid support during the crisis. "He didn't leave my side. Even if there was a shoot and he was busy, he still manages to reach the hospital. From the time we are in the hospital till discharge, he would take his bag and sit there. He would not move. Constantly, him being there used to feel very good to me—that he is there for me. That was comforting. In many ways, he has been there," Nasreen said.

The pair admitted that they have seen a fair share of struggle together. Sharib quit his job at MTV to pursue acting full-time. The initial years of struggle saw the couple selling their home and Nasreen’s jewellery to stay afloat. The couple also spoke about a time when the bad times stretched for so long that Sharib Hashmi ended up blaming his wife. Nasreen Hashmi said, “There was a moment when he was very disappointed. And he started telling me, 'Why did you allow me to quit my job? If you'd stopped me, then this crisis wouldn't have happened.' At that time, I was shaken. How can you say such a thing? It's your dream, but we've supported you as a family. There should be no regrets. Don't say such a thing again.”

It’s my fifth year in a row. I feel very proud, and I’ve always represented my country in the best possible manner… Today is going to be truly special."</p><p>She first attended Cannes in 2022 during the 75th edition of the festival.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/alia-bhatt-meets-f1-star-carlos-sainz-jr-at-cannes-2026-fans-react-to-the-unexpected-crossover-watch-1778642774072"><strong>Alia Bhatt meets F1 star Carlos Sainz Jr at Cannes 2026 | Watch</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
