Now this is a crowning moment.
On the night of July 8th, Kate Middleton captivated onlookers while wearing Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot tiara, as she joined Prince William at a state banquet for French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron, which took place at Windsor Castle.
At the grand event, the Princess of Wales chose to wear a magnificent tiara that was also cherished by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, alongside a vibrant red dress from Givenchy, boasting a flowing cape made of chiffon and earrings once belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
For the first time since a state dinner at Buckingham Palace in November 2023, Kate wore the Strathmore Rose tiara, a sparkling headpiece that used to be owned by the Queen Mother, on her head.
Exactly two months later, Kate underwent an abdominal operation. At first, doctors assumed that her 43-year-old self was not suffering from cancer. However, post-surgery tests revealed the presence of cancer. Consequently, she began a course of preventative chemotherapy.
Of course, this was an enormous surprise,” Kate, who is mother to Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (10), and Prince Louis (7) alongside the Prince of Wales, stated in a video from March 2024. “William and I have been making every effort to deal with and handle this situation discreetly for the well-being of our young family.
In late 2024, Kate temporarily moved away from her public roles while undergoing treatment, and then she triumphantly resumed her public duties afterwards, having completed chemotherapy. She publicly declared her recovery in January of this year.
During her latest visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, England, as reported by People, Kate described her cancer journey by saying, “I tried to keep a strong front during treatment, but what followed was incredibly tough. Despite the treatments being over, I thought I could return to normal life, but the period afterwards proved to be extremely challenging.
She stated, ‘Adjusting to a new routine requires patience, as it isn’t always an easy or straightforward process. It’s more like a roller coaster ride, filled with ups and downs rather than the smooth journey you might anticipate. However, remember that life often presents challenging times.’

As a lifestyle expert looking back over the past year, I find myself reflecting on the evolving situation surrounding Prince Harry. Following the High Court’s rejection of additional security protection through the Royal and VIP Executive Committee last year, his legal battle came to an end when the court dismissed his case on May 2nd.

Harry remarked, “My father holds significant power and influence over this situation. He doesn’t have to actively interfere; instead, he can let the professionals handle it appropriately.
In spite of the prolonged battles, he’s raising a truce flag, yearning for peace and understanding. He also stated, “Life is valuable, I’m not sure how many more days my father might live.

However, I, being one of those statistics, can attest that it can also serve as an opportunity to witness the most compassionate aspects of humanity at its finest.
Besides expressing gratitude to the healthcare professionals who aided him during his ordeal, he also emphasized that their work has only increased his admiration for the exceptional efforts put forth by the outstanding institutions and dedicated individuals present at this event tonight.

I, being a dedicated follower, chose to stay absent from the traditional Easter service held by our esteemed royal family on April 20th this year, alongside my family members, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and little Prince Louis.

His life was tragically cut short following a valiant fight against PolG mitochondrial disease, a rare and enigmatic genetic affliction.
In a statement, Robert expressed, “Frederik is not just my Superhero, he’s our family’s and countless friends’, and now, thanks largely to his PolG Foundation, he’s a hero to many around the globe. One of his superpowers was his knack for inspiring others and leading by example.
