PRINCE William and Kate Middleton must follow the same strict rules as others seated within the Royal Box at Wimbledon. Everyone that is sat in the Royal Box at Wimbledon has been personally invited by the Chairman of the All England Club. Those lucky enough to be invited must meet expectations not required of sports fans seated elsewhere. And all guests - including the Royal Family - must dress in smart attire. Wimbledon advises this means wearing a suit or jacket, plus a tie for men. However, the main rule that Prince William and Kate Middleton must follow is that they are not allowed to wear hats, in order to not block anyone's view.

Twelve members of a religious cult known as "The Saints" have been arrested in connection with the death of an 8-year-old girl who die after being refused life-saving medication in the belief that God would heal her instead. Elizabeth Struhs, who suffered from Type 1 diabetes, died on January 7 at her family's home in Rangeville, in the Australian state of Queensland. Her mother and father, who have since been charged with murder, did not give her any insulin in the six days leading up to her death, police said. The couple and other church members held back on calling paramedics until 5:30 p.m. the day after the child had died, it's alleged, because they believed she would be resurrected, according the Courier-Mail newspaper. Earlier this year, the parents, Kerrie and Jason Struhs, were charged with a string of offenses including murder, torture and failing to provide the necessities of life for their daughter, The Guardian reported. The couple has not yet revealed how they … [Read more...] about Cult members let girl die because they thought God would save her—police

The Queen’s role has been rewritten by Buckingham Palace, as it removes duties she “must fulfil” as monarch and entrusts more to the Prince of Wales. The Queen’s “official duties” have been edited in the palace’s annual report for the first time in at least a decade, to take out specific events such as the State Opening of Parliament that were previously considered necessary by “constitutional convention”. The new version, published following the Platinum Jubilee, places greater emphasis on the support of the wider Royal family. According to the Sovereign Grant report, signed off by Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse, the Queen’s role still comprises two key elements: Head of State and Head of Nation. As Head of State, the “formal constitutional concept”, the Queen “must fulfil” specific duties. These were previously laid out as a 13-point list, including the State Opening of Parliament, the appointment of the Prime Minister, and paying and receiving state … [Read more...] about Queen’s job description is rewritten to reduce ‘must-do’ duties

Posing for her portrait in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace, the Queen looks - as always - as if she was born to wear the Diamond Diadem. As it happened, she was not wearing it at all. The famous diadem, which has been captured on coins, banknotes, postage stamps and worn at key moments throughout the Queen’s reign, was in fact added an entire year after the painting was completed via the medium of cellophane. The coronation portrait , painted by Sir Herbert James Gunn in 1953, is to be included in a new Platinum Jubilee display at Windsor Castle, with its full story told for the first time. Curators will reveal how Sir Herbert added the Diamond Diadem as an afterthought, painting it onto a piece of transparent cellophane laid over the canvas as a test before asking the Queen’s approval. Remarkably, the painting had already been on public display at the Royal Academy with the bare-headed Queen before the artist and sitter agreed it could be improved. The finished … [Read more...] about The Queen and the tale of the missing Diamond Diadem

It beggars belief, when you think about it, that the Queen is fulfilling the same role at the age of 96 that she first stepped into 70 years ago. Parachuted into the job earlier than anyone hoped, having lost her beloved father at 25, she has grown from young wife and mother to grandmother and now great-grandmother with the world at her feet in admiration. Through 14 prime ministers and 13 US presidents, the growth of the Commonwealth and loss of realms, she has ploughed on steadily with the same calendar of events and constitutional duties without let-up. Now, there has been a subtle, quiet tweak to those duties from Buckingham Palace itself. Out go the specific promises to always be at the State Opening of Parliament and to travel overseas, and in comes more support from her family. It was already happening in practice, of course. But for an institution that changes at a deliberately glacial pace in most things, the decision to write it down is striking. It … [Read more...] about The Queen’s revised responsibility is just reward for her magnificent reign

For those of us trying desperately to get on the property ladder, a £15k house sounds pretty appealing. And it’s true – this two-bedroom house in Barr, Ayrshire, Scotland, does have bags of potential, as a detached home with its own driveway and garage, plus an enclosed courtyard. There’s just one – pretty major – problem: the property is missing a roof. Although perhaps you could spin that as a natural skylight? The house has a massive hole in the roof thanks to a fire, which has also left damage to the interiors. Some rafters remain, but they’re a tad charred, the windows are smashed, and there’s debris strewn across the drive. Oh, and potential buyers can’t have a peek inside due to safety issues. All that goes quite a way to explain the budget-friendly price tag. The house is being sold at auction by Slater Hogg and Howison, with starting bids at £13,500 and a £15,000 reserve. The listing reads: ‘Well located in the centre of the picturesque conservation … [Read more...] about Two-bed house in Scotland is on sale for £15,000 – but it’s missing a roof

by BRIG. GEN. WILLIAM C. MENNINGER, USA MILITARY psychiatry differs from civilian psychiatry in that the Army must be totally responsible for a man — not only for his food and clothing, but especially for his ability to participate in his particular mission. Consequently, when a man did not fulfill his function, the Army had to find the cause and, if possible, remedy it. In many instances the cause lay in his personality and in his emotional difficulties. Since there is a human tendency to retreat into illness under stress, it was not surprising to find that many men became ill when they were unable to meet the demands of the new life. Military psychiatry differs also in quality from civilian psychiatry. In the Army much more effort and time are invested in a preventive psychiatryan attempt to keep men healthy and to seek out causes for poor morale. Until comparatively recently, the majority of civilian psychiatric patients had to be brought to the psychiatrist by relatives, … [Read more...] about Psychiatry and the War

Anti- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Twitter -users appear to have mistakenly trolled mental health hospitals located in the area that gives the couple their royal titles, Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Tweets targeted Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, an organisational unit within Britain's National Health Service in the county of Sussex. It has nothing to do with the couple's titles. Some tweets targeted a post about the organization's partnership with mental health texting service Shout, which is backed by Prince William and Kate Middleton . The negative comments tagged Shout's official Twitter account as well as the Sussex Partnership one.

By Andrea Dijkstra Published 4 days ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Workers in heavy coats shift boxes of flowers from a cold store into a refrigerated container. Once packed, these blooms will travel hundreds of miles by road, in a special 'controlled atmosphere' container from Nairobi to the coast. On arrival at Kenya's biggest seaport, Mombasa, the container is loaded onto a ship for a voyage to Europe of around 30 days. Despite their lengthy journey, they will still be sold to European shoppers with a vase-life of about a week. So, how is this possible? "The flowers will be kept at a temperature of 0.5 degrees celsius throughout the journey," says Elizabeth Kimani, the manager of quality and standards at Sian Flowers. As well as controlling the temperature, the atmosphere system in the container reduces the oxygen level from 20% to 4%, while increasing the … [Read more...] about How flowers are ‘put to sleep’ for long sea voyages
