US President Donald Trump (Image: Getty) Donald Trump has sparked widespread confusion and fresh concerns about his mental health after posting a puzzling Father’s Day message praising a mystery woman he referred to as a “great daughter”. On Saturday evening, just before 10pm, the 80-year-old president shared a photograph of a blonde woman dressed entirely in black. The accompanying caption simply read: “Great daughter,” followed by “My Honour!!! President DJT.” Mr Trump has five children from three different marriages. He shares Donald Jr, 48, Ivanka, 44, and Eric, 42, with his first wife Ivana Trump. His second marriage to Marla Maples produced daughter Tiffany, 32, while his youngest son Barron, 20, is with current First Lady Melania. Online investigators quickly identified the woman in the image as Margo Catsimatidis, wife of billionaire businessman and Trump supporter John Catsimatidis. The identification has not been officially confirmed by the White House, and the Daily Mail has contacted the Catsimatidis family for comment. Many observers noted that the photograph appeared dated, with some speculating it was taken at …

Ireland posted a video to boost awareness for global MND awareness day, which coincided with Father’s Day on Sunday.

Some species like grizzly bears or lions will leave after mating and never really interact with their offspring again. Others do everything from keeping eggs warm solo to carrying their young in their mouths and even giving birth.  “By the male investing in offspring it increases the chance of their survival, and specifically the survival of his genes,” Karen McDonald, an educational specialist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center tells Popular Science.  “Male-only parental care is rare in mammals and vertebrates, but it’s surprisingly common in ray-finned fish (over 50 percent of families), with many species caring for large broods of their offspring from different females. In birds, male-parental care is less than one …

Prince William and Prince Harry’s identical Father’s Day celebrations

Prince William and Prince Harry’s identical Father’s Day celebrations

Published by Daniella Wilson

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Including royal fathers Prince WilliamPrince Harry, who will be celebrating the same day but over 5,000 miles apart, each with their own family. Interestingly, Father’s Day is celebrated on the same day in the UK and the US, unlike Mother’s Day, which in the UK falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent, exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday, so the date changes each year. Stateside, they celebrate on the second Sunday of May, which often falls on a different date. But will the royal brothers have similar setups today? Prince William has three children with his wife Princess Kate: eldest Prince George, 12, daughter Princess Charlotte, 11, and youngest Prince Louis, eight. William’s younger brother has two children: Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. Although Prince William’s children are slightly older, it is likely the kids will be into the same sorts of things – helping with a bespoke breakfast for daddy or handmade cards. But it’s also Prince William’s birthday on the same day, so …

There, the dads practise parting hair, combing, tying, braiding and securing the styles on mannequins. Some struggle to keep the strands in place, while others take more than an hour to learn even a basic braid. A few dads even brought their daughters – although they decided against using their girls’ real hair as demos.  “The point isn’t about being instantly good, but trying – I’m still learning with you too,” Rajendram, who led the workshop alongisde Rukshan, told the attendees.  He hopes that by the time fathers leave the room, they will feel confident enough to try again at home – this time on their girls – even if the result is not perfect. Roy Choudhury, a 42-year-old who works in banking and has two daughters aged eight and five, said he wanted to “stop being the butt of the joke at home”. “My daughters would tease each other by saying things like, ‘If you don’t stop disturbing me, Papa will do your hair!’ as if it was the worst thing that could happen,” …
