Kate Middleton has been taking time away from royal duties for quite a while. The Princess of Wales’ team announced back in January that she would be undergoing abdominal surgery and would not be taking on any royal duties until at least after Easter. Then, on March 22, the princess released a video sharing the news that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
Kate has not been seen in public since, with the exception a few unconfirmed sightings here and there. Of course, people have been patiently waiting for the princess’ return but have also been giving her the privacy she requested. But after some confusion caused people to think she could return soon, those close to the princess have set the record straight.

By gradually introducing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the public eye like her sister-in-law’s done with her and Prince William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Prince William and Prince Harry live very different lives these days.
William is in the U.K. performing his royal duties and knows exactly what the future holds as he will one day take over the role of monarch and continue a life of service. Harry is in the U.S. after stepping down and deciding not to continue his duties on behalf of the Crown and is carving out his own path in an uncertain future.
As one royal expert pointed out what’s so strange is that the princes are now separated by an ocean because one brother “feared” for his and his wife‘s safety in the U.K., but yet the other brother who will be king is hanging out in local pubs. Here’s more on that.

Prince William’s not king yet — he’s heir apparent to King Charles III — but he’s already got his work cut out for him. A royal commentator hopes the Prince of Wales, 41, will make two of his cousins working royals as king. Not Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are reportedly upset their uncle hasn’t issued a call to duty. Rather, his youngest cousins, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, children of Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
A commentator wants William to eventually make his cousins, Louise and James, working royals

Kate Middleton‘s health has been the subject of much speculation since the Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024. While the palace initially stated Kate wouldn’t return to public life until after Easter, some media outlets pinpointed a June return. A royal editor believes the princess is being “bullied” by the press as the palace is pressured to reveal private health details.

The “atmosphere” behind palace walls is reportedly “gloomy” amid a tumultuous start to 2024. Commentators say the British royal family’s doing their best to keep going with a “business as usual” attitude. However, it’s not quite working as these are “unprecedented” times for the monarchy.
2024’s not off to a good start for the British royal family
Things haven’t gone smoothly for British royals ever since 2023 ended and 2024 began. On Jan. 17, 2024, Kensington Palace announced Kate Middleton had undergone a “planned” abdominal surgery one day earlier. Furthermore, she’d be recovering through March.
Another health update just 90 minutes later came amid the headlines about the Princess of Wales’ hospitalization. Buckingham Palace announced her father-in-law, King Charles III, would enter the hospital to undergo a corrective procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.
During said procedure, as the palace announced on Feb. 6, 2024, doctors found an unspecified type of cancer for which...

The royal family has been in the news more than ever after Buckingham Palace announced King Charles’ cancer diagnosis in early 2024. The king’s cancer stage, type, and treatment plan have all been kept under wraps, but it has certainly had royal experts and insiders taking guesses at what it could mean for the future of the royal family.
Prince Harry made a quick trip to visit his father and has said that the diagnosis could bring the family together. However, one royal expert thinks the situation has only given Harry a taste of how difficult things could be when his brother, Prince William, becomes king.

It has been more than a month since Kensington Palace revealed that Kate Middleton had been hospitalized for a planned abdominal surgery.
There have been increasing calls for information about Kate, her health details, and even what kind of surgery she has had from reporters seeing more information.
In what could be considered a significant lack of decorum, royal reporter Amanda Platell took Prince William, Kate’s husband, to task in a column for the Daily Mail, and royal fans are upset about it.
Amanda scolded William about the lack of details surrounding Kate and her recovery from major surgery. As Monsters and Critics reported, Kate asserted her desire for privacy in a Kensington Palace statement.
But Amanda is unhappy and said in her column, “Don’t lecture us all about Gaza, William… just tell us how Kate is,” according to the Daily Mail.

The Prince and Princess of Wales face a multitude of changes as they grow into their current royal roles. However, one significant decision they must make is regarding their children’s schooling. Their son, Prince George, particularly as he is a future king of the United Kingdom.

Intro: Just like any successful movie franchise from any particular decade, there’s one unwritten rule; if it’s much loved, generated enough in box office returns, and is clearly still a relevant IP, you know what to eventually expect. Yup, that’s right movie-fans – a remake! Love em’ or loathe em’ they’re not going away anytime soon, and sometimes they can not only offer a fascinating take on the original movie but also enhance the legacy by bringing in a whole new audience. 1982’s The Thing is an incredible remake of the 1951 original, along with similarly effective fellow horror remake The Fly from 1986. Also, more recently we’ve had gems such as Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, the hugely popular A Star is Born and, of course, The Wicker Man. Okay, maybe not that particular example, but Nicolas Cage randomly punching people in a bear suit has to hold some value to movie-fans,...

There were interviews in magazines and on podcasts, their primetime special with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, and the prince’s memoir Spare, all in which the Sussexes publicly aired out the royal family’s dirty laundry. Now, it’s been reported that many of Harry’s friends back in the U.K. are not only “disgusted” about the way he has acted since leaving England but also livid that he hasn’t shown the loyalty they showed to him over the years.

It’s been reported that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have not been invited to King Charles III’s upcoming Trooping the Colour birthday parade.
Now, royal watchers are weighing in on that decision and some are calling it the right one because Harry is a “viper” who “embarrassed” the royal family the last few years.

Apparently, the 2023 Chelsea Flower Show wasn’t a stop-and-smell-the-roses situation for the press. Why? An unexpected appearance by Kate Middleton. According to a photographer, “chaos” ensued due to the Princess of Wales’ visit. Gone were plans and royal protocol.
Royal photographer says press ‘descended into panic’ upon learning of Kate’s surprise Chelsea Flower Show appearance Kate Middleton | Jordan Pettitt/Pool/Afp via Getty Images
On May 22, Kate visited the Chelsea Flower Show, in London, England. However, photographers weren’t lined up anxiously awaiting her arrival. The 41-year-old, who is no stranger to attending the annual event, went as part of an unplanned visit.
Meaning photographers weren’t expecting her to show up. So when Kate joined 100 children from 10 elementary schools for the Chelsea Flower Show’s inaugural Children’s Picnic, it created pandemonium among royal photographers.

It’s now been nearly ten years since the most recent installment in the RoboCop franchise, that film of course being the 2014 remake, but the property certainly hasn’t gone anywhere. For starters, new video game RoboCop: Rogue City is coming later this year, and the comprehensive documentary RoboDoc is headed to Screambox this year as well.
Additionally, Deadline reports today that RoboCop is one of the MGM franchises that Amazon is hungry to bring back to life, now that Amazon owns that vast MGM library.
Deadline reports, “For the past year, since the deal closed in March 2022, Amazon Studios has been sifting through MGM’s library, identifying about a dozen initial titles for film and/or TV development, including Robocop, Stargate, Legally Blonde, Fame, Barbershop, The Magnificent Seven, Pink Panther and The Thomas Crown Affair.”

Princess Charlotte is a royal “spare” and second child like her uncle Prince Harry. But she might have an easier time with the role than he did.
While public interest around Charlotte is exceptionally high, like her mom Kate Middleton, things were different for Harry as a child in the ’90s. Plus, her future role in the family could carry different expectations, including having a job and life outside of being a royal.
Here’s why we think Charlotte might have it easier as a “spare” than Harry did.

Curiosity about William’s life comes naturally as the heir to the throne. But the death of Princess Diana following her divorce came with a widespread interest in the ongoing lives of both her sons.

Los Angeles, April 1 (Ians) Actress Jane Seymour makes use of a special lighting trick to knock years off her.
Known for her youthful looks, the ‘Live and Let Die’ star, 72, now said she gets a little extra help looking good, thanks to a trick of the light she’s developed over the years which she’s named “Jane’s igloo” and insists on using whenever she appears on screen, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“Nobody else needs one (a lighting trick) because they’re under 30. Basically, the minute you take the top light off me I don’t have bags under my eyes. If you have top light, my eyes become very baggy. So, I need something straight at me,” she explained in an interview with Definition magazine, reported by the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden.

Prince George is poised to someday lead the royal family but what about his younger sister, Princess Charlotte? The 7-year-old is, according to an expert, headed for a different — less royal — life as the “spare” to George’s “heir.” Prince William and Kate Middleton supposedly want Charlotte to have an “expectation” she’s going to grow up and not become a “working” royal.

Princess Diana believed Prince Harry might have been “better equipped” to become king than Prince William. That’s according to royal expert Charles Rae, a former correspondent for The Sun. Diana even gave Harry a nickname that reflected that and helped make him feel a little extra special sometimes.
Despite all that, insiders say Diana didn’t believe William would make a lousy king. But there was supposedly part of his personality that made her nervous about his future when he was younger. And they claim that what he lacked, she thought Harry might have had in abundance.

Detroit's silver-plated cop returns to the big screen this week rebooted with a sleek black suit and The Killing's Joel Kinnaman on leading man duties. Though Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original is the most well-known incarnation of the character, he stretches far beyond movies into TV, video games and comic books.
Digital Spy takes a look back through the RoboCop video archives below...
RoboCop (1987)
With a B-movie premise, a relatively tight budget and a director in Paul Verhoeven who'd never made a movie in Hollywood before, the odds were stacked against the original RoboCop from the start. However, Verhoeven and writers Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner managed to inject the film with great action, memorable one-liners and a cutting satirical edge that commented on American culture. We'd buy that for a dollar!

MGM has closed a deal with “The Killing” star Joel Kinnaman to star in RoboCop, a remake of the 1987 original and a reboot of the crime thriller series.
Deadline first reported the Swedish actor was offered the role two weeks ago and broke the confirmation Saturday morning. It goes without saying, but this is a major career boost for Kinnaman, who starred in Swedish hits like Snabba Cash and the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo before crossing over to Hollywood. The second season of AMC’s “The Killing” premieres on April 1.
Michael Fassbender and Russell Crowe were both erroneously rumored for the role.
Kinnaman is the fourth actor to play RoboCop on screen, following in the footsteps of Peter Weller, Robert John Burke (RoboCop 3), Richard Eden (a shortlived Canadian TV series) and Page Fletcher (“RoboCop: Alpha Commando” miniseries).

Joining the ranks of Peter Weller, Robert John Burke ("RoboCop 3"), Richard Eden (the shortlived Canadian TV series), David Sobolov (the animated series "RoboCop: Alpha Commando") and Page Fletcher (the mini-series "RoboCop: Prime Directives"), Joel Kinnaman is now the latest actor to put on the metal helmet as Deadline confirms he will be the next RoboCop in the upcoming reboot.
It was just over a week ago that an offer was floated to the "Snabba Cash," "Safe House" and "The Killing" star and he has signed on the dotted line, marking his first big Hollywood tentpole. It's not the first time Kinnaman has flirted with a major studio project as Steven Soderbergh eyed him for his aborted "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." while David Dobkin had cast him in "Arthur & Lancelot" before Warner Bros. pulled the plug. But this project looks to be on more solid ground, with MGM developing this for the past little while,...

Rhys Ifans, known for his portrayal of character Jed Parry in Enduring Love (Daniel Craig’s stalker) who will appear as Dr. Curt Connors The Lizard in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man has been also cast in a new James Bond film, in an unknown role.
A source close to Telegraph’s Richard Eden, said:
Ifans will appear in the film, as well as Javier Bardem, who will play the baddie… Much of the filming will take place in South Africa.”
Bond producers also have yet to make the official announcement for Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris and Ralph Fiennes that have recently been rumored to have roles in the iconic movie. Bardem is anticipated to play the villain, while Harris is said to be taking on the role of Miss Moneypenny and Fiennes is seen to be a second villain.

Rhys Ifans, who will star in Roland Emmerich's Shakespeare conspiracy feature Anonymous later this year, a role that reportedly won him the villainous role as The Lizard in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, is now reportedly set to join the cast of director Sam Mendes' as-yet-untitled James Bond 23.
A source tells The Telegraph's Richard Eden, "Ifans will appear in the film, as well as Javier Bardem, who will play the baddie... Much of the filming will take place in South Africa."
Ifans starred alongside Daniel Craig, who will once again return to play James Bond, in Roger Michell's Enduring Love in which the two actors kiss and is quoted by The Telegraph saying, "I spent the whole shoot winding up Dan Craig saying, 'Only four days to go now, Dan, darling, before our snogging scene.' Even now, after two Bonds, Dan still maintains that...
