The one detail during Kate Middleton’s hospital visit everyone missed, and we’re lost for words

This month has taken an unexpectedly strange turn, with both King Charles and Kate, the Princess of Wales, admitted to the same London hospital. The royal family now faces its most significant health crisis since the infamous spoiled lobster thermidor incident.

But the strangeness doesn’t end there: why haven’t Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis visited their mother?

It’s been 12 days since the princess underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic, marking nearly two weeks since her three young children have seen her. Prince William, after announcing he would focus on parenting during this time, has been seen leaving the hospital in his $268,000 electric Audi, and reports confirm he’s been visiting Kate daily.

Yet, the absence of the children raises questions. Similarly, Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her siblings, Pippa and James Middleton, have not been publicly noted visiting her either. James, who has openly discussed his struggles with depression, has spoken about Kate’s unwavering support during his therapy sessions.

The lack of visits isn’t about avoiding the media. According to royal editor Rebecca English from the Daily Mail, an agreement ensures no photographers, camera crews, or journalists are stationed outside the hospital, offering Kate and her fellow patients complete privacy.

This means Prince William or the Middletons could bring George, Charlotte, and Louis to visit their mother without facing public scrutiny.

One explanation comes from The Sun, which reported that William and Kate want to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children. This reasoning seems reasonable during the school week, but what about weekends?

Instead of visiting Kate, the children reportedly spent their weekend at their grandparents’ $7 million Bucklebury estate, enjoying time with Carole and Michael Middleton. While a loving grandparent’s care is undoubtedly comforting, is it really a substitute for a mother’s hug?

Adelaide Cottage, the family’s home, is only a 45-minute drive from the hospital. Logistically, a visit would not pose significant challenges.

This situation becomes even more puzzling when viewed against the broader image of the Waleses as hands-on, devoted parents. William and Kate are known for prioritizing family time, even structuring their schedules around their children’s school holidays.

A royal aide recently told The Sunday Times that their new motto is “100 per cent family first, day job second.” But does that align with their children not visiting their mother during her recovery?

Yes, hospitals can be intimidating, especially for young children. But seeing their mother in person, offering hugs, and witnessing her recovery firsthand could provide far more reassurance than absence.

The argument that royals rarely visit each other in hospital doesn’t hold much weight here. These conventions are shifting, as shown by King Charles making a direct visit to Kate’s hospital room upon his arrival and Queen Camilla visiting her husband three times within 24 hours.

At a time when stability and togetherness are most needed within the royal family, things feel far from normal. Perhaps it’s time to reconsider these traditions and prioritize connection over protocol. In the meantime, some sage, crystals, and maybe even a royal shaman might not go amiss to dispel whatever strange energy seems to be lingering over Buckingham Palace.

“Jake” from ‘Two and a Half Men’ spotted in rare sighting for first time in years – and he’s unrecognizable

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have to rack your brains to recall the name Angus T. Jones.

Yet the moment I say “Jake” from Two and a Half Men… that’s right, if you’ve ever watched that show, you’ll instantly remember the adorable, witty young man who lived with his father, Alan Harper (Jon Cryer), and uncle, Charlie (Charlie Sheen).

You also might get to wondering just what happened to the actor who played him (the aforementioned Angus T. Jones). At one point in time, it seemed as though the child actor was a burgeoning star with a terrific career ahead of him in the entertainment industry.

Yet these days sighting for Jones are few and far between. He practically dropped off the radar after his time on Two and a Half Men ended more than a decade ago, and his last credited TV appearance was on a 2016 episode of Horace and Pete.

That could be why a recent shot of the now-30-year-old is causing such a stir. The former child star looks absolutely unrecognizable in the picture in question!

It appeared to be one of TV’s great mysteries at the time, why Angus T. Jones went dark after leaving Two and a Half Men.

During his run with the show, the previously unheralded Jones had become one of the highest-paid child actors on television – he reportedly made $300,000 for each episode during the height of the sitcom. Then, over ten years ago, he left the show, before announcing in 2012 that he had no intention of returning for its 11th season.

Speaking in a 2014 interview with KHOU, he Jones said: “It was making light of topics in our world that are really problems for a lot of people.

“I was a paid hypocrite because I wasn’t OK with it, but I was still doing it.” 

As per reports, Angus did a lot of soul-searching in 2012, which led to him finding a new religious path and rediscovering his faith.

He joined the Seventh-day Adventist church, a Protestant Christian church known for its decidedness to diet and health and its conservative principles and lifestyle.

These days, many have forgotten about the fresh-faced youngster who entertained millions with his charm and philosophical lines. Angus reportedly moved to Colorado and studied religion at the University of Colorado Boulder.

“Going to college was something I was really, really excited about,” he told People in 2016.

He added: “I wasn’t the center of everyone’s attention, and that was nice.”

Recently, though, a new image of the ex-child star has surfaced, and it’s one that has got a lot of people talking online.

In the picture, the once fresh-faced, clean-shaven Jones sported a thick beard and glasses, with many shocked by the apparent transformation he’s undergone over the years!

According to Page Six, Jones looked, “unrecognizable.”

One commenter claimed that he, “Doesn’t look healthy.”

One user wrote, “[…] What happened to him!!” “He became one and a half men,” remarked one individual.

However, many of his fans also defended Jones writing“Of course, he’s unrecognizable…he was a kid on the show and it’s years later.”

What do you think? Has Angus T. Jones changed that much since the ending of Two and a Half Men?
