I tried Prince William’s fitness watch and this is my verdict

Published by skeptic

If there’s one thing we know about the royal family, they love a health tracker. Whether it’s Queen Camilla’s Fitbit or Prince Harry’s favorite Oura Ring, the famous family are evidently health-conscious and on top of the latest fitness technology.  It seemed as though they already had the market covered on health trackers; that is, until Prince William was spotted wearing the WHOOP 4.0 band in July this year, cheering England on at a soccer match against Switzerland. I was intrigued by the simple fitness band the Prince sported, as he had spirited reactions to his team winning the Euro game. The band appeared to have no interface and was also spotted on the wrists of Olympic runner Sha’Carri Richardson, soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo, and basketball hero LeBron James.  After seeing Prince William’s fitness tracker of choice, I tested it out for myself to see if it really was worth the price tag.  What does WHOOP do? © Carl RecineWilliam sported his WHOOP at the Euro match in July WHOOP is a wearable fitness tracker …

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Love Story Became Public 20 Years Ago

Published by skeptic

On June 15, 2024, the world was watching as Catherine, Princess of Wales, triumphantly returned to the spotlight during the Trooping the Colour ceremony. After months of speculation regarding her health, and the announcement of her cancer diagnosis, a regal Catherine took to the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her husband, Prince William and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. As the crowd cheered, Catherine gave a grinning William a radiant smile, and a photo of the tender moment was published around the world. The mature, glamorous couple that stood on the balcony was miles away from the casual, carefree college students who were first snapped on the Swiss ski slopes of Klosters 20 years ago, but the ease, love, and mutual respect in evidence has remained the same.

Prince William’s 10-word response as he breaks royal protocol to sign a boy’s cast | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

The face of a boy wearing a plaster cast lit up as Prince William bent down and penned his autograph on it today during a royal visit. The prince stepped onto the beach at Newquay as part of a two-day set of engagements in the Duchy of Cornwall. The Prince of Wales arrived in the south-west today (May 9) where he spent some time before his onward travels to the Isle of Scilly tomorrow. The two-day stint, away from Princess Kate who is recovering privately from cancer treatment, has been viewed as a positive move. Royal fans believe his time away from his family, especially an overnight stay away from home, can only mean Kate is in good hands and is making progress in her treatment. But despite the Waleses’ personal troubles, William made the day of a boy on the beach when he secretly took out a pen and began signing a plaster cast in Newquay. The cast, on what appears to the the child’s right hand, covered his hand. The prince quickly said: …

The Prince of Wales has begun his first overnight trip since his wife Kate’s cancer diagnosis. Prince William’s first port of call in Cornwall is Nansleden in Newquay, the site where the Duchy of Cornwall’s first homeless housing project will be built. The project, delivered alongside Cornish charity St Petrocs, will provide 24 homes with wraparound support for homeless people. William will meet the development’s leaders and the chief executive of St Petrocs, Henry Meacock. Construction will begin in September this year, and land for the homes is being provided by the Duchy. William will then visit Fistral beach, where he will meet representatives from local organisations who are working to promote safety in the sea and across the beach area, ahead of the forthcoming summer months.

Prince Harry Celebrates 10 Years of the Invictus Games Without King Charles or Prince William

Prince Harry Celebrates 10 Years of the Invictus Games Without King Charles or Prince William

Published by skeptic

King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, is carrying out engagements under the guidance of his medical team and has been urged not to take on too much. However, a family friend said that Harry would be hurt by his father not making time for him. “It feels very much like a snub. Harry is rarely in Britain and when he does come over he obviously wants to see his father. He doesn’t know when he will next be here and he is very worried about his papa and desperately wanted to see him.” It is understood the two men have spoken on the phone since Harry has been back in the UK. When the King was diagnosed with cancer, he phoned his son personally, prompting Harry to fly to Britain immediately. Charles made adjustments to his schedule so that he could see his son before traveling to Sandringham to recuperate. Nevertheless, Charles, who had an audience at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday and will visit the Royal School of Military Engineering in Surrey on Thursday, has no free time to …

Kate Middleton’s Illness Means Prince William Is “Digging Deep”

Kate Middleton’s Illness Means Prince William Is “Digging Deep”

Published by skeptic

Last week, a group of well-wishers asked Prince William about how his wife Kate Middleton was faring after her recent cancer diagnosis. “We’re all doing well,” he said, declining to get into the specifics. But according to a royal insider who spoke to People, the ordeal—which is complicated by King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis—has been hard on the 41-year-old prince and father of three. “Whether you’re a prince or a pauper, no one would expect anything like this with his father and his wife both being treated for cancer,” this insider said. “William is digging deep.” Another close source added that William is putting Kate and the well-being of his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis first when deciding how to balance his public role and private life. “William is prioritizing giving her all the time she needs to get better and the support, particularly to the children,” said the source. In the years since William and Kate started their family, they have prized their privacy and spending time together. According to …

Prince Harry’s relationship with Charles and William ‘terminally damaged’ | Royal | News

Published by skeptic

Prince Harry’s relationship with King Charles and Prince William is “terminally damaged” as “the boot is on the other foot”. The Duke of Sussex is in the UK this week to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. He is set to give a speech at St Paul’s Cathedral during a thanksgiving service. And despite speculation, a family reunion is not on the cards for this visit. A spokesperson for the Prince said he would not be seeing his father, King Charles. A statement from Harry’s team read: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” Buckingham Palace is not commenting on the duke’s visit, according to the BBC, and no senior royals are attending the St Paul’s service. But royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! That, from the lack of a visit, “we can deduce that (Harry’s relationship with his family) is terminally damaged”. Jennie said: “In …
