King Charles’ unprecedented reaction to ‘agony’ of Charles Spencer’s hurtful claims

Published by Daniella Wilson

Princess Diana‘s brother, Earl Spencer‘s new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is hours from being released but already has courted a response from His Majesty, the King. Among the bombshell claims published in excerpts ahead of its publication on Tuesday were that Diana’s former husband sounded “giddily elated” at news of her death, and claimed he said: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough!” ahead of Diana’s funeral.  These allegations were met with what is being described by Ingrid Seward, author of Catherine & Diana: The inside story, as an unprecedented response from King. A spokesperson for the Monarch said: “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.” © Instagram / @charles.earl.spencerThe Earl’s book Swan Song will be published on 22 September Discussing the King’s surprise public reaction, Ingrid said: “I think that Charles felt very strongly about this, …

EastEnders reveals Ravi’s reaction to Priya’s baby secret

EastEnders reveals Ravi’s reaction to Priya’s baby secret

Published by Sam Flores

EastEnders viewers have been wanting for Ravi Gulati to find out the truth about his fiancée Priya Nandra-Hart’s pregnancy, but star Aaron Thiara has teased that his character might defy expectations once he finds out. Soap fans know how hot-headed Ravi can be, with the character only recently kidnapping Max Branning over his affair with Priya. What Ravi doesn’t know – for now, at least – is that Priya’s baby isn’t his, but Max’s. Speaking at the National Television Awards (NTAs) earlier this month, Thiara suggested that Ravi could show a more “vulnerable” side should he discover the truth. “I suppose in EastEnders fashion, he has to find [out] at some point, because that’s where the drama’s going to be,” Thiara told Radio Times. “Look, I think we’ve probably seen where he reacts quite impulsively and does what he knows by taking Max hostage and questioning him; that aired last week. That feels very much like Ravi of old,” the star continued. “Maybe this way, if it does come out, we will see a more …

Colbert, 62, has not appeared in a late slot since the cancelation of his eponymous CBS show, which aired its final episode in May. When Kimmel told the former host he looked “happier” and “healthier” at Monday’s Emmy Awards — during which Colbert won a trophy for the final season of his show — Colbert didn’t mince words about why. “Like, I don’t drink a cup of poison every day?” Colbert began. “Because part of the job is… the old gig as I remember it was to be lowered like carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day and then to be pulled out and put in front of a camera and to irradiate it back at the audience at a non-lethal rad level.” “That’s …

Published by Sam Flores

Liverpool cruised into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield on Tuesday. The Reds were looking to build on a stuttering start to life under Andoni Iraola, which has seen some unconvincing performances and dodgy draws, but a rotated side, complete with substitute cameos from the first-team stars, was enough to see off Roberto De Zerbi’s visitors.

Kate Middleton can’t hide her reaction to being told off during royal engagement

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Princess of Wales is always perfectly poised at royal events, the epitome of grace and composure. But there was a time when her composure momentarily slipped at a charity event – and resulted in one of our favourite videos of the future queen. The event took place back in December 2014, when Kate was still the Duchess of Cambridge. She and Prince William travelled for a three-day official visit to the United States, centered primarily in New York City. One of her engagements saw Kate visit the Northside Center for Child Development where she joined a group of women to help wrap Christmas presents for underprivileged children. The royal was warmly greeted upon her arrival and, after taking her seat in front at the wrapping station, turned to chat to some of the other ladies in the room.  As a result, she became momentarily distracted from the task at hand – and became chastised as a result.  One of the supervisors at the US charity did not stand on ceremony for the VIP guests, …

Donald Trump has sparked a flurry of reaction after stepping off Air Force One with a dramatically different hairstyle. The 80-year-old president arrived in Morristown, New Jersey, on Friday with his famous blond locks appearing considerably darker than usual, while his instantly recognizable side part also appeared to have been flipped to the opposite side. Dressed in a navy suit, crisp white shirt and bright gold tie, Donald waved to photographers as he walked across the tarmac, but it was his tousled new look that quickly became the talking point. © AFP via Getty ImagesUS President Donald Trump steps off Air Force One with darker hair The change was particularly noticeable because the president has maintained variations of the same distinctive swept-over hairstyle for decades. There has been no confirmation that Donald has dyed his hair or permanently changed its style, and the White House has not publicly explained the apparent transformation.  The following day, he was photographed playing golf at his Bedminster club wearing a red baseball cap, keeping much of his hair concealed.Nevertheless, the photographs …
