A woman with humble morals, a woman who will pass being humble to her children, a woman married to a humble man, the future of the monarchy is so safe with the Wales family. We are SO lucky our FK William was born first, the dread if it were the other way round 😱😱😱😱
The Future King and Queen departed the Royal wedding with Prince William driving his Bride of 15 years, away like a good ol husband does🥰😚♥️

From India Hicks:
« My mother died peacefully today.
Whilst there is no tragedy in the death of a 97-year-old who has lived a full life I know grief will be unavoidable, lurking around waiting for me, but today I am simply grateful that she was my Mother. And through the prism of a crowded and remarkable past, she made incomparable company, carrying her memories lightly, and always with humour.
My mother maintained right up to the end, the impeccable style, sharp mind, and effortless charm that made her not only a cherished institution, but truly the last of her kind. »
New game unlocked with my husband… Friday night… who can strip their clothes off and …
get in their pajamas earliest 😂😂😂
I did 7:58pm 🍸 HAPPY FRIDAY FOLKS 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
She ate lunch alone for 730 days straight. What this 16-year-old built from that pain now protects millions of kids worldwide.
Seventh grade. Natalie Hampton carried her tray through a packed cafeteria and felt it — that specific, suffocating dread of not knowing where to go.
She'd already learned what happened when you approached the wrong table. The silence. The turned backs. The whispered laughter that followed you all the way to the empty table by the wall.
The one everyone could see.
The one that said: nobody wants her.
For two full years — 730 consecutive lunches — that table was hers. Alone.
The bullying went further than whispers. She was shoved into lockers. Four physical attacks in two weeks. She came home with scratches and bruises. When she finally reported it, school administrators sent her to counseling — to find out what she was doing wrong.
The isolation grew so heavy she was hospitalized for anxiety.
Then ninth grade came. A new school. And almost overnight — everything changed. Students welcomed her. She made friends within weeks. She finally knew what safe felt like.
But she couldn't stop thinking about the kids still sitting at the wall table. Right now. Today.
She remembered what she'd needed most during all those lunches. Not a teacher. Not a pamphlet. Just one person saying: "You can sit with us."
So at 16 — with zero coding experience and "a lot of enthusiasm," as she put it — Natalie built exactly that.
She called it Sit With Us.
The idea was simple and genius: students sign up as "ambassadors," keeping their table open. Other kids privately browse available tables on their phones before ever walking into the cafeteria — and show up knowing they're already welcome.
No public rejection. No moment of judgment. Just a guaranteed seat.
Within 7 days of launching: 10,000 downloads.
Then the world found her. NPR. The Washington Post. CBS News. Messages from Morocco, Australia, the Philippines, France — kids who'd been eating alone for years, finally finding a place to belong.
Sit With Us now operates in 30 countries.
"Even if it helps one person," Natalie said quietly, "it was worth building."
She turned 730 lunches of loneliness into a lifeline for millions.
That's not just survival. That's transformation.
