Donald Trump has chosen The Princess of Wales as the recipient of a significant award.

Kate and nine other candidates were announced earlier this week as TIME magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year. The publication has named the person or organization it believes has had the biggest impact on the world over the past year, whether for good or bad. However, it was revealed today that the newly elected president-elect, who has won a second term in office, has won the award.

The princess’ entry on TIME’s shortlist came after she “made international headlines this year and sparked a conversation about privacy and health for public figures.” Kate was nominated for the award several years after her husband and sister-in-law Meghan were nominated for it in 2018. However, she ultimately lost out on the award, which went to killed and imprisoned journalists dubbed “the guardians”.

Following her abdominal surgery in January, Kate’s recovery from the public eye underwent a rollercoaster of a ride. In the interim, cruel conspiracy theories began to surface. After receiving a cancer diagnosis, she later revealed that she had received preventative chemotherapy and that she had started a very gradual transition to public life, playing her Christmas carols on Friday at Westminster Abbey and Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

Kate said she “didn’t know” what this year would bring just 12 months ago during a service on Friday. The 42-year-old, who is returning to public events gradually after finishing her cancer treatment about four months ago, was captured on camera saying to singer Paloma Faith, “I didn’t know this year would be the year I’ve just had.” When Faith replied “the unplanned”, Kate said: “The unplanned, exactly. However, I believe that many people encountered such difficult circumstances this year.

The princess’s fourth appearance at Westminster Abbey was in recognition of the positive traits of many and to promote the capital’s festivities. Kate will have to face fierce competition from nine other candidates to win the coveted award this year. Others nominated were Kamala Harry, who failed in her bid to become America’s first female president, and billionaire Elon Musk.

Both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell were in the running for president, along with Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, who passed away in February. Claudia Sheinbaum, the first woman president of Mexico, and podcaster Joe Rogan, both made the shortlist. Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire and Facebook CEO, made the shortlist.

After a number of unsuccessful IVF cycles, ABC presenter and Sky News assistant editor Emily Deeker gave birth to a “Christmas miracle” child.

Emily and Will Glennon had a long fertility journey, which spanned over 12 years. They welcomed their first child, a daughter named Olivia, three years ago. The couple’s penultimate frozen embryo gave them a chance to have a second child when their daughter was born.

And in October, their miracle baby, Harry, was born in October. We have another embryo left in the Bristol clinic, so let’s try it, Emily said. “When our daughter turned two, we said to each other. However, we absolutely didn’t anticipate that due to the number of treatments needed to get our little girl, it would end in a successful pregnancy and bring the baby.

We would have been grateful to have had our beautiful Olivia after such a long wait because that 12th and final frozen embryo had not matured to become Harry, but since I was already 42, time was running out. Speaking of Harry’s birth, she said it felt like it was ‘ meant to be’.

She also expressed gratitude to the doctors at Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine (BCRM) for their “dedication and expertise.” Their daughter, Olivia, is ‘ besotted ‘ with her new baby brother and keeps telling her parents that Harry is “my best friend”.

After a number of unsuccessful IVF treatments, Emily, who started receiving fertility treatment in Bristol at the age of 30, admitted that she started to lose hope. You initially believe that IVF will be the answer to your prayers, but she said, “Once you start, you realize that it doesn’t work for everyone.”

We “taught ourselves to manage our expectations and not to get our hopes up,” we learned along the way, and we’ve since developed that skill. For the entire 12 years we tried to raise a family, but we eventually learned to “take everything for granted.”

After receiving numerous years of treatment, Olivia and Harry were shocked when they became pregnant. She said, “All of our dreams came true when we discovered it had worked again and that we were going to have a little boy.”

Emily continued, “It is lovely to be the mother of a little boy and a little girl] and it just feels like it was all worth it. All the pain and perseverance over the years paid off, and we are overjoyed.” Our daughter no longer wants to leave our son alone, but she does.

I’m A Celebrity star Reverend Richard Coles paid tribute to his late husband, David, on what would have been his birthday.

Reverend Richard, who recently came in third place on the ITV programme, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a sweet message on David’s birthday. After his husband David Coles passed away just days before Christmas, the vicar is set to enter the ITV camp tonight. He was struggling in 2019.

David, also a clergyman, was only 43 when he died of liver disease in 2019, caused by an alcohol addiction that had gripped him since his teenage years. In 2007, Richard and David began dating. Three years later, the couple got into a civil partnership with David taking Richard’s surname.

Reverend Richard, David’s loving husband, shared a photo of him and their dogs on what would have been his 48th birthday. In front of four excited puppies, David put on a grey facemask, donned black sweatpants, and wore a black long-sleeved top.

Richard simply wrote: “David’s birthday today. He would have had eighteen years. RIP”. Fans eluded the comment section to express their support, with one user writing, “Thoughts and prayers with you Richard, embrace the time you had together.” Richardson previously questioned why he wanted to keep his husband’s agonizing alcoholism a secret.

He said: “I often think if someone dies of drink as people used to say, that people filed them under a sort of tragic, squalid death. David was a lot more than that. Before we could talk about what killed him, I wanted to understand why David was so significant to those who loved him.

Richard and Dickie Cant, the son of late actor and Play Away presenter Brian Cant, have since found love again, as he previously claimed last year. As Dickie made the first move, the pair met on a dating app. Richard revealed that Dickie doesn’t care about fame, and that he in turn doesn’t mind that Dickie is atheist.

He addressed the loss and grief of his husband David’s passing from alcoholism in an interview with the Sunday Times. When someone speaks in a way that makes you feel like you should be over it, Richard said, “I’m angry.” It’s not a cold. He also admitted that losing him” messed his f***ing life up. “

Carmen Bryan, 52, who had a years-long affair with Jay-Z, 55, has spoken about how they first kindled their secret relationship.

The singer wrote an autobiography back in 2006, It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, from Seduction to Scandal – a Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All. Carmen makes references to Jay-Z, who she fell pregnant with while dating rapper Nas, in the book.

This Shawn character appeared wise beyond his years. Shawn was very warm and extremely humble, with a wonderful sense of humor”, she wrote of Jay-Z in the book, adding: “Over dinner I decided he and I would be good friends for a very long time”.

Carmen and her friend went to a mutual friend’s house together, where she decided to spend the night. She later claimed that she was “no condition to drive home.” “Shawn and I sat on the couch while pretending to be watching television.” I snoozed all night long before going to sleep. Shawn kissed me when I woke up. I started to fall in love with him because his lips were so soft and luscious, she said.

Nas ‘ ex wrote how Jay-Z’s hands “began to roam” but she wasn’t feeling it at the time. The Roc Nation founder allegedly stated his intentions in writing a year later.

According to Carmen, Jay-Z claimed that they would have sex when she was “ready,” and that she asked how long it had been since they were “going to do it.” Carmen described her second encounter with Jay-Z and the start of an incredible feud between Beyoncé’s ex-husband and legendary rapper Nas after another round of waiting.

Before proceeding to Jay-Z, Carmen stated that she “had to make sure his intentions were right” and that the kissing process was rather intense. Somehow we ended up in his bedroom. He started to undress me and this time I didn’t resist. Both my clothes and his quickly went off.

Jay-Z and Carmen were involved from 1995 to 2000, culminating with her falling pregnant at the age of 26, but sadly suffering a miscarriage. Around the same time, Jay-Z was rumoured to be linked to teenage rapper Foxy Brown, now 46. After winning a talent contest in New York at the age of 15, Foxy made his way to the music scene in 1994.

Soon after, in early 1996, Foxy’s vocals were featured on the song ‘ Ain’t No N***a ‘ by Jay-Z, with Foxy singing lyrics including: Ain’t no n***a like the one I got. He snoozes, but he’s very generous with me. Friends’ll tell me I should leave you alone”.

Foxy recalled her early years in the music business at the age of 15 and how Jay-Z had a significant impact on her music career. “Jay can tell you… he’ll have to pick me up from school and take me to the studio”, she said in 2005. She continued, “A monster at 15,” for balancing studying with “knocking out” tracks and studying with correspondence.

With his 2001 diss track “Ether,” he rapped, “Foxy got you hot’ cause you kept your face in her p***,” rumors about Nas, who at this time was aware of Jay-Z and Carmen fueled speculations that he and teen Foxy were more than musical collaborators.

What her parents think of her unusual career as an adult content creator who slept with 101 men in a single day?

Lily Phillips filmed herself completing the “challenge” in October in what she has described as her “fantasy” in a stunt that has prompted some to call for a ban on Only Fans. Lily’s plans quickly went viral on TikTok and Twitter. However, tearful scenes in a documentary following the 23-year-old before and after her “sex marathon” have sparked concern for her welfare. In a YouTube film titled, ‘ I Slept With 100 Men in One Day’, Lily can be seen shedding a tear as she admits the day had been “intense”, adding that she “doesn’t know whether she’d recommend it”.

Despite her emotional response, Lily is now claims to be “in training” for a 1, 000-men event in January. In a recent interview with The Reality Check podcast, the star spoke of how she was preparing for the physical feat, as she divulged: “I’ve done 101, and I’m doing 300 in a few weeks, it’s like a boxing match. I believe I’ll feel sore toward the end, but I believe I have the right strength to keep going.

Do Lily’s parents worry about her welfare as she continues to exercise her body to its limits? Lily explained in a recent documentary that her loving parents are proud of her and are aware of the unconventional career path she’s taken. My parents were aware of what I was doing right away, and I was very upfront about it, Lily, who speaks with her mother every day over the phone. They were obviously a little apprehensive at first because they wanted me to be safe and to make wise decisions and things like that. I simply believe that I am unable to hold myself back because I fear what other people might think.

Derbyshire-born Lily, who started out on the adult platform as a student looking for extra drinks money, made $13, 338 (£10, 500) in her first month in business alone. And although she’s hesitant to describe herself as a businesswoman – fearing she’d “get stick” for it, her profession has certainly proved lucrative.

Lily now employs eight or nine people on a staff, having earned £2 million from her work. Putting aside the money, her parents are concerned about how her job might impact her chances of finding love. Opening up in the documentary, Lily said: “I guess that’s one thing they worry about is like, ‘ Will you ever find a boyfriend? ‘. But you know, there’s so many guys in the world, I think you know one poor b******’s got to marry me”.

Lily’s dad’s friends have also shared her content in completely honest ways. The adult star also revealed that she hadn’t hadn’t let her parents know her plans for the ‘ 100-man challenge ‘ beforehand. Lily explained: “They don’t need to know the logistics. I do feel a little bit embarrassed… I suppose because it’s not what my parents wanted me to do. I just don’t want my parents to think less of me because they won’t be fond of me or hate me or anything like that.
