This weekend marked a poignant return to the public eye for Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, as she gracefully attended two major royal engagements.

On Saturday, November 9, Kate joined her husband Prince William, King Charles, and other members of the royal family at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The following day, she observed the Remembrance Day Service at the Cenotaph, making these her most significant appearances since her cancer diagnosis earlier in the year.
In March, the princess shared the news of her diagnosis, and by September, she had completed her treatment, now focusing on remaining cancer-free.
Her attendance this weekend was not just a show of resilience but also a tribute to the service and sacrifices of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces.
For Saturday’s event, Kate chose a somber all-black outfit, subtly enhanced with meaningful jewelry. She wore a black coat dress adorned with a poppy—a symbol of remembrance and respect.
Adding a personal touch, she also wore her Fleet Air Arm Brooch, acknowledging her recent appointment as the Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm by King Charles in August 2023.
This brooch, which features a crown, laurel wreath, and feathered wings, holds sentimental value, echoing her grandfather, Captain Peter Middleton’s service as a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II.
Further connecting with her royal status, Kate wore Princess Diana’s iconic sapphire engagement ring and the Collingwood Pearl Drop earrings—a wedding gift to Diana that has seen many significant royal occasions.
These pieces were complemented by a gold and pearl necklace from British jeweler Monica Vinader, rounding off her ensemble with elegance.
On Sunday, at the Cenotaph, where the nation remembers those who fell in past conflicts, Kate donned a black military-style coat adorned with three poppies.
This gesture is often seen as a tribute to various military branches or to personal family members affected by war—Kate’s great-grandmother lost three brothers in World War I.
She also wore the Bahrain Pearl Diamond Drop Earrings, steeped in royal history, which were made from pearls given to the late Queen Elizabeth as a wedding present in 1947.
Standing on the central balcony, previously beside the Queen and this year, in the absence of Camilla due to illness, with the Duchess of Edinburgh, Kate’s presence was a powerful reminder of her commitment to royal duties and her personal journey through adversity.

People are stunned by how tall Trump’s son Barron is compared to 2016 presidential election
By Michelle H
Donald Trump is the winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
But during his speech to an enthusiastic crowd of Republicans, much of the attention was on his son, Barron Trump, with many people surprised by just how tall he has become.
Four years after losing the White House to then-incumbent Joe Biden, Trump appears poised to return to Washington, D.C., following wins in several swing states in the 2024 race.
Leading up to Election Day, neither Trump nor Harris had a lead in the polls, making this one of the closest elections in recent history.
As results started coming in, it quickly became evident that Trump’s share of the vote was significantly higher than predicted, although he has yet to officially reach the required number of electoral college votes.
Speaking to a large crowd of supporters in Florida before the official result had been declared, Trump was accompanied on stage by his extended family.
This included his wife, Melania, and all of his children. Of the five, his youngest—18-year-old Barron—quite literally stood out as Trump announced his victory.
Standing at six foot seven, Barron’s height sparked comments on social media, with some wondering if he was the same young boy who stood with his parents in 2016 when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.
One Twitter (formerly X) user joked: “Barron Trump may very well be just three normal height humans stacked on top of one another.”
Another wrote: “My goodness. Barron Trump is twice his height as eight years ago,” while a third asked, “Where the hell did Barron Trump get them damn height genes?”
Trump has spoken about Barron’s 6’7″ stature during his campaign.
At the Iowa caucuses in January, he mentioned Barron’s height while honoring his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, who had passed away earlier that month.
Trump said, per Metro: “Boy, did she take care of Barron.” He added: “That’s how he got so tall. He only ate her food. I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, well ‘I like soccer dad’, actually.
“I thought… at your height, I like basketball better but you can’t talk them in to everything.” Trump said Amalija and her husband were “great parents to all of us… but also to Barron.”

Dad puts passive aggressive note in daughter’s lunch box for teachers to see
By Michelle H
A UK father took to TikTok to share his lighthearted response to his daughter’s teachers, who had raised concerns about her food choices.
For parents, keeping up with what is considered a healthy diet for kids can be tricky. Add the challenge of getting them to eat their veggies, and it’s no easy feat.
When teachers start scrutinizing lunchboxes, things can get even more complicated. A British dad found himself in this exact situation and decided to vent his frustration in a humorous way.
Ross Hunt shared his playful annoyance with the school’s interference, which had made his daughter hesitant about bringing her lunch to school.
In the TikTok, Ross remarked: “It’s alright if you eat the chocolate cake the school gives you, but if you put one in their lunchbox, they go, ‘oh no, you shouldn’t have that!'”
Taking a proactive approach, Ross made a label for his daughter’s lunchbox that read: “Welcome to my daughter’s lunchbox! We are aware of the contents of this box and are happy for her to eat whatever she wants.”
His partner stepped in to prevent him from adding a more blunt message, which would have jokingly read: “Step away from the lunch box, you nosey f***ing a bandit.”
Ross wrapped up his TikTok by stressing that parents should decide what their kids eat. “In short, stop telling kids what they should and shouldn’t eat, let the f***ing parents decide,” he emphasized.
The video received a flood of positive feedback, with many parents echoing Ross’s sentiments.
One commenter, who works at a school, admitted: “I would rather a child ate and was full than lots of ‘healthy’ foods they won’t eat.”
Another person shared: “I’m told not to comment on ‘non healthy’ food at my work because we’d rather the kids be full than not wanting to eat anything due to our comments.”
A third commenter added: “The work I had to do to convince my daughter she could eat a KitKat with her lunch of salad and ham wrap, cucumber sticks and a satsuma was unreal.”
While it’s ideal for kids to eat the healthiest foods possible, various challenges can make this difficult. Some children have food aversions or sensory issues, making mealtime a complex task for parents.
Do you think teachers should have a say in what kids eat at school? Share your thoughts in the comments.

People are convinced Bigfoot has been spotted in chilling video: ‘Y’all this one is real’
By Nasima Khatun
People are convinced that Bigfoot has been spotted after a recent “sighting” has gone viral on social media.
Now, the old tale of Bigfoot has had audiences hooked ever since it was told back in the day, and let’s just say we’ve seen one too many unrealistic Bigfoot videos for our liking.
But just as we were about to give up on the entire thing, a recent video uploaded to TikTok piqued our interest – and let’s just say we’ve spent a while trying to debunk this one.
According to the National Guard, Bigfoot, AKA Sasquatch, can be described as a seven-foot-tall hairy man stalking the woods, occasionally scaring campers, lumberjacks, hikers, and members of the general public.
User @e_man580 took to the video-sharing platform to post a clip of him stumbling across the apparent creature himself chilling in a forest in Oklahoma.
The nine-second video, which has now been viewed over 1.3 million times, shows a beast with bronze fur sitting amongst the foliage munching on leaves as the camera tries to get a good shot of it.
However, after a few seconds, the being turns to look directly in the lens startling the man filming before cutting off.
Have a look at the full video below:
And upon closer inspection of the facial features, we can 100 percent say we’ve never seen a creature of this sort before – let alone in Oklahoma!
“Scariest moment of my life and I really think I caught a fucking Bigfoot on camera in parallel forest. I wakes just doing some sight seeing and enjoying the day and saw something in the distance. Im still shaking as I type this,” the frightened TikToker wrote in the caption.
After seeing the video, it seems as though the internet is pretty convinced it’s Bigfoot too.
Hundreds took to the comment section to join in on the conversation.
“The clearest capture I’ve ever seen of a Bigfoot,” wrote one user, while another added: “you know what? why not this world is insane right now so why can’t Bigfoot be chilling under a random tree.”
A third commented: “Y’all this one is real.”
And this user added: “Waiting for someone to debunk this cause I’m convinced.”
Us too… kinda.
The only reasonable explanation could be that it’s an avid Halloween go-er trying on their costume to make sure it’s perfect for the spooky occasion, or better yet, it’s just just some random clout chaser hoping to catch their big break when a sucker posts this on social media… cough cough.
And I guess it worked.
This is not the first time a situation like this has come about with many alleged sightings of Bigfoot hitting the headlines every single year.
There’s even an entire account on X, formerly Twitter, dedicated to it.
I mean it’s 2024 and we’re still on the hunt for a mythical beast, the world truly is doomed.

By Michelle H
Hailing from Chicago, Rhoades stormed into the adult film industry in 2016, catapulting to fame fast and appearing in publications such as Hustler, Penthouse, and Playboy.
Despite being the most searched actress on one of the most explicit websites, Rhoades decided to leave the industry, revealing that it took a toll on her mental health.
Now the 28-year-old is attempting to shine a light on the realities of working in the p*rn industry.

In an interview on Harry Jowsey’s ‘Tap In’ podcast in 2021, Rhoades revealed that she wishes she could wipe all of her old videos off the internet.
“A lot of the videos I have no rights under, otherwise I probably would have deleted them all by now,” she told the interviewer at the time.
Speaking about her regrets, she added: “I do. I honestly tell people, if I could go back, I would give up everything to have my dignity and respect back, and for people not to be able to see me in that way.”
Watch Rhoades speak about this below: (from the 20:30 mark)
This is not the first time Rhoades has candidly opened up about the highs and lows of her former career.
During the conversation on the Three Girls One Kitchen podcast – which she co-hosts with Alexa Adams and Olivia Davis – the internet personality said she still struggles with the psychological impacts of her former career.
“One of the worst… honestly, I feel like I’m in denial sometimes and I can’t accept some of the things that I’ve done,” she said.
Rhoades recounted one harrowing scene that haunts her to this day, sharing: “There was one thing that, ya know, I tried talking to a therapist about before something that I had to do for a scene that was really rough for me.”
“Basically, this guy had a bowl and he, like, gagged me until I threw up into it and he, like, p***ed in the bowl, and during the scene he asked me to drink it, and I didn’t know how to say no,” she shockingly said. “It was one of the most disgusting, foul scenes.”
Rhoades’ exit from the adult entertainment industry wasn’t just an escape from torment, it was also a ticket to wealth.
Speaking to Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards & Bri Chickenfry on their YouTube channel, she disclosed that she is now a multi-millionaire.
“The industry I did not get paid s***…I probably had $100,000 in my bank account when I quit shooting p*rn and now I’m a multi-millionaire,” she disclosed.

TikTok influencer, 26, plunges to her death from luxury apartment after sharing upsetting social media message with fans
By Michelle H
TikTok influencer Kubra Aykut has tragically passed away after falling from the fifth floor of a luxury apartment building in Turkey.
The 26-year-old, known globally for her viral ‘Wedding without a Groom’ videos, was reportedly discovered deceased in Istanbul’s Sultanbeyli district last Monday.
According to Turkish media, a suicide note was found near her body. The incident has raised concerns among fans, as the social media star, who had amassed one million TikTok followers and over 200,000 on Instagram, recently shared troubling posts about her struggles.
She wrote: “I’ve gathered my energy but I can’t seem to gain weight. I lose a kilogram every day. I don’t know what to do; I urgently need to gain weight.”
Aykut reportedly fell from her apartment on Gişe Street in the upscale Hasanpaşa neighborhood.
Authorities have launched an investigation, and her body was taken to a private hospital for an autopsy.
Her remains were later transported to her hometown of Bursa, where she was born and her parents currently reside, for a funeral service attended by friends and family.
Among those present were Turkish influencer Dilan Polat and Enes Çetinkaya, Polat’s lawyer, who is believed to have been Aykut’s long-time partner.
Fans have been posting heartfelt tributes on Aykut’s TikTok page, describing her as “an angel” and someone with “a beautiful heart.”
The final video she posted shortly before her death depicted her meticulously cleaning her apartment.
Aykut gained widespread recognition on TikTok after hosting an extravagant solo wedding in 2023.
She wore a beautiful white gown and tiara during the ceremony, in which she humorously “married” herself, stating: “I cannot find a worthy groom for myself.”
She drove away in a flower-adorned car, joyfully holding her bouquet out the window and shouting with excitement.
In another clip, she referred to herself as a “nervous bride” as she celebrated by eating a burger on her wedding day.
Her humorous and empowering content quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of followers, making her a prominent social media figure. She successfully leveraged her popularity to build a thriving career.
