Britain’s Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, said she was undergoing preventive chemotherapy after major abdominal surgery. She revealed that cancer was present.

London: Britain’s Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, announced on Friday that she is undergoing preventive chemotherapy. Post-tests after her major abdominal surgery in January revealed cancer. Notably, Prince William’s wife was hospitalized for two weeks in the month of January for what was described as a successful planned operation for a non-cancerous condition. Now, the 42-year-old has revealed in the video that she is suffering from cancer, stating that she is doing well and getting stronger.

Britain’s Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, announced on Friday that she is undergoing preventive chemotherapy. Post-tests after her major abdominal surgery in January revealed cancer. Notably, Prince William’s wife was hospitalized for two weeks in January for what was described as a successful planned operation for a non-cancerous condition. Now, the 42-year-old has revealed in the video that she is suffering from cancer, stating that she is doing well and getting stronger.

In a video filed on Wednesday, Kate stated: “My medical team therefore recommended that I undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
“This obviously came as a huge shock, and William and I have done everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” she said.

In February, King Charles also announced he was undergoing cancer treatment, meaning he had to postpone his public royal duties.
Kate’s office, Kensington Palace, said no further details will be shared about the type of cancer. The office said in a statement that the Princess of Whales is responding well to treatment and is on track to recovery. Preventive chemotherapy had started in February.
The palace said in a statement that Kate would not resume her official duties until after Easter. However, the princess’s long absence has led to intense speculation on the internet.

The royal couple wanted to keep the cancer a secret until their children – Prince George and Princess Charlotte – started their school holidays, which started on Friday.

“It took me time to recover from major surgery before I could start my treatment. But most importantly, it took us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that suits them, and to reassure them that I will be fine,” Kate said in the video.

“As I told them; I am doing well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirit,” she further said.

JAKE PAUL is furious over online theories that his fight with Mike Tyson has a crazy set of rules.

Earlier this month, it was announced that the Problem Child would face Iron Mike on July 20 at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The fight will see Paul, 27, face Tyson, 57, and will be broadcast live on Netflix.

It is unclear as of yet whether it will be a professional or an exhibition fight.

But Paul was quick to disparage online rumors about the rules of battle.

It was claimed on TikTok that some quirky additions would be made to help the YouTuber out.

One of the stipulations discussed was that Paul would be allowed to wear a headguard while Tyson would not.

While another claimed he could tag his WWE star brother Logan.

Appears on the Regarding podcast, Paul could barely hide his annoyance at the claims.

He said: “It’s so sad that millions of people believe that. It’s fucking absurd. Obviously, none of that is true.

“They’re so damn stupid. Anyone who thinks so should not vote.

“Actually, this is what I was thinking: There should be hidden tests throughout life that qualify you to vote or not.

‘And they don’t know whether they’re taking a test or not.

“The fact that these people not only drive around our streets, but can also vote? They drive cars there! They’re stupid as f*** and it’s sad.

“We live in a fucked up world. Man is getting dumber and dumber every day. It’s crazy.”

Paul extended his professional boxing record to 9-1 in February when he defeated Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico.

While former heavyweight king Tyson has not fought professionally since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005.

But he did face Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition in November 2020.

Current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is a fan of the controversial Paul vs. Tyson match.

He told The pounding ground: “I love boxing.

“You have a legend in Mike Tyson. You have a YouTube boxer who came into the game and blew it up and he has millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes.

“Good, bad or indifferent. Some people love him, some people hate him.

“So I think it’s a very good spectacle for boxing. It brings a lot of people to the game.

“And listen, who am I to say, ‘Oh, Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing,’ good luck to them.”

“They’re both going to make what I call a lot of money from it. So that’s not the point?’

Eisner gave DealBook an exclusive statement:

In 1983, Disney was attacked by corporate raiders who tried to take over the company. That would have ended the Disney Company as we know it, as it was proposed to sell the studio, theme parks and hotels. The board turned to me and Frank Wells and another story was written, one that was continued by Bob Iger and his management team.

A similar situation exists today, so let’s not forget the lessons of 40 years ago. Bringing in someone who has no experience in the company or industry to disrupt Bob and his eventual successor is not only playing with fire, but also with earthquakes and hurricanes. The company is now in great hands and Disney shareholders should vote for the Disney slate.

Others have weighed in, following the proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis and Disney’s top individual shareholder, filmmaker George Lucas (both of whom supported Disney and its current chief, Bob Iger):

• Laurene Powell Jobs a prominent Disney shareholder, who backed Iger: “He is a once-in-a-generation leader with an ambitious vision for the future, and we as shareholders are fortunate to have him lead this cherished company at such a pivotal time in its history.”

• Institutional Shareholder Services, the other influential proxy advisor, who recommended that shareholders vote Peltz onto the board. Peltz, as a major shareholder, “could complement the succession process and provide other investors with assurance that the board is properly involved this time. He could also help evaluate future capital allocation decisions.”

ISS recommended withholding votes for an incumbent board member, Maria Elena Lagomasino, citing “multi-year concerns” about her role on the compensation committee. (Interestingly, the company did not recommend that shareholders add Jay Rasulo, the former Disney CFO, who also nominated Peltz as a director candidate.)

Regulators are reconsidering major banking deals

The regional banking crisis triggered a wave of consolidation just over a year ago. Now regulators want to tighten scrutiny of big bank takeovers — which could worsen the chances for deals like Capital One’s $35 billion bid for Discover Financial.

The FDIC is proposing the first overhaul of takeover rules since the 2008 financial crisis. Below the new frameworkwhich would apply to deals that create a bank with more than $100 billion in assets, regulators would have to consider the effects of the transaction on public interest grounds, including financial stability, communities and competition.

That would represent a major shift. Bank merger reviews have traditionally focused on deposits and branches. But Jonathan Kanter, the Justice Department’s antitrust chief, said Thursday that lenders now offer so many different services that a more comprehensive approach was needed to take into account how a deal would actually affect competition. (The Office of the Comptroller of the CurrencY is also pushing for rules to prevent big banks from buying rivals.)

Last month, Mr. Miller’s group sued Arizona’s largest public school district, headquartered in Mesa, for what the amended complaint described as “an astonishing situation that would once have been unthinkable.” It alleged that the district’s policy was to “encourage” students to change their gender identification and prohibit them from notifying parents if students chose to do so. The complaint went on to predict several outcomes of such policies, including sexual violence and genital mutilation.

Mesa County Attorney Robert D. Haws declined to comment, citing the pending status of the lawsuit. But in his motion to dismiss the case filed this month, he said the “parade of potential atrocities” proposed by America First Legal had gone “completely off the rails.” Mr. Haws also said the school district was simply following a policy that prohibits discrimination, including against transgender students.

Some of the lawsuits being pursued by Mr. Miller’s group suffer from questionable timing, at least from a legal perspective. In April 2021, America First Legal sued the San Antonio City Council for “cancelling” Chick-fil-A (whose chairman, Dan T. Cathy, opposes gay marriage) by refusing to give the chain a contract at the airport of the city. But the complaint was filed six months after Chick-fil-A, which has more than 40 restaurants in the San Antonio area, abandoned its plans for an airport location.

If the Chick-fil-A complaint seemed overdue, a more recent filing by America First Legal might seem premature. In October, the group sued New York University on behalf of a first-year law student, a white man, who claimed that if he applied for the school’s law review, he would most likely be rejected because of his race and gender. The school’s attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the lawsuit involves “fanciful speculation” about a selection process that has yet to take place.

Kenji Yoshino, a law professor at NYU, said America First Legal’s track record seems to indicate “more heat than light.” The group has yet to argue a case before the Supreme Court, and more than two years have passed since it succeeded in thwarting the Biden administration’s agenda.

Last week, during a hearing in federal court in the Trump documents caseJudge Aileen M. Cannon rejected Mr. Miller’s group’s argument in an amicus brief that the case should be dismissed because the National Archives and Records Administration did not have the authority to make a criminal referral. She called it “a red herring.”

TYSON FURY has hinted at a change in tactics for his fight with Oleksandr Usyk by giving fans a glimpse into his training.

The pair of undefeated champions were scheduled to collide on February 17 in the first four-belt fight in the heavyweight division.

But just two weeks before the Saudi showdown, the Gypsy King suffered a terrible stoppage in sparring, forcing the fight to be rescheduled for May 18.

Now Fury – who watched Manchester United beat Liverpool at Old Trafford – is officially back in action by resuming his training camp.

Fury shared a clip of his pad session with Bob Howard, who has cornered his brothers Tommy and Roman in the past.

And interestingly enough, he turns to his left and subtitles the short clip: “Southpaw GK.”

Fury has switched hits many times throughout his career, once fighting Martin Rogan in 2012 purely as a southpaw just to prove he could do it.

The WBC champion controversially defeated MMA star Francis Ngannou, 37, in his last fight in October despite being knocked out.

And he recently watched from ringside in Riyadh as Anthony Joshua, 34, went on to knock out Ngannou in two rounds.

But Fury – set for a two-fight series with the man who beat AJ twice in Usyk – has refused to even entertain the all-British fight for now.

He told The pounding ground: “Me and Usyk is the biggest fight of the century, for all the belts it’s the first time this has ever happened, six, seven belts on the line.

“He’s undefeated, I’m undefeated, and there’s nothing bigger than that. No fight is bigger than that.

“I know people are trying to get their foot in the door to fight me, but if I beat Usyk, I will be the undisputed.

“And then I’m going to fight him again and I understand that one of the belts is going to be taken away from us right away.

“So I have two fights this year with Oleksandr Usyk. Let’s not forget that Usyk beat the other guy twice in a row.

“That puts him a long way up the ladder, not even close, you know?” So me and Usyk are the fight?’

A PUNTER who won a Lotto jackpot was left with almost nothing and said he thought he had done something wrong.

Graham Crerar, 64, from Notting Hill, west London, has been chasing the £800 prize for five weeks.

The carpenter had three numbers in the National Lottery draw on February 7.

He is one of a number of players who have struggled to claim winnings from new Lotto operator Allwyn.

Graham told The Sun: “They’re just digging in their heels and it makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong.

‘They don’t know what they are doing and behave very unprofessionally.

“Never mind, Allwyn, they should be called No-win.”

Another winner also spent weeks chasing his £800 prize of a HotPicks ticket.

Paul Simpson, 69, was eventually sent a check, but it bounced at the bank.

TSB told him: “This check has not been cleared due to suspected fraud/counterfeit checks within the clearing cycle.”

Mr Simpson and his wife Pam, 71, had three numbers in the January 31 draw

The former government employee tried to file a claim at a post office but was told to contact Allwyn.

After hours of calling and emailing, he was sent the dodgy check and advised to request a new one or a bank transfer.

Ultimately, after threatening a small claims lawsuit, he was paid – over a month after his victory.

Mr Simpson, from Leicester, said: ‘I felt like a criminal. But their procedures are chaotic and feel like a scam.

“I will never play that game again. When you win, it’s like they want to exhaust you, so you just give up or you’ll lose your ticket.

Peter Wilson, 70, is also waiting for an £800 prize payout, six weeks after his grades were announced.

The retired sales manager, married to Yvonne, 68, and from Nuneaton, Warks, said: “I don’t know what else I can do to claim my prize. I will not do it again. I can’t worry about the stress.

“It’s chaotic and I’m concerned about the impact this will have on local communities and charities losing out on funding.”

We told last week how Amelia Barnham, 69, from Hammersmith, west London, had an investigator sent to her home by Allwyn because she had won several times in the past.

Allwyn replaced Camelot as National Lottery operator on February 1.

The payout rules have been changed so that prizes between £500 and £50,000 can no longer be collected from post offices.

Sources said this had led to early “teething problems”.

Allwyn said: “This is a brand new claims process following the Post Office’s decision to no longer pay out National Lottery retail prizes between £500.01 and £50,000.

“The time the process takes will vary depending on whether we require further information from the player to process their claim and how long it takes for us to receive the player’s ticket or scratch card.

“Because people are still not familiar with the new process, we also notice that a large number of players are contacting us.

“We are very sorry for any delays this may cause and we have increased the number of colleagues helping players with their claims, allowing them to receive their prizes more quickly.”

Allwyn has contacted Mr Crerar and Mr Wilson to notify them.

• Pair will compete for two super welterweight belts

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on his first trip to the country and visited popular tourist attractions such as Siddhivinayak Temple and Gateway of India.

New Delhi: Professional boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr said on Monday he would like to take part in an exhibition fight in India this year and the possibility of an opponent from the host country cannot be ruled out. The 47-year-old former boxing champion boasts a perfect 50-0 record in the professional circuit, including 27 knockouts.

“It is possible. I am looking forward to having an exhibition here in 2024. We are looking for a solid name as a solid opponent,” Mayweather told PTI by phone from Mumbai. “I am pretty sure I have the right opponent. It’s about taking things to the next level, with all the great people here anything is possible,” he added.

When asked if he would be open to a challenger from India, Mayweather replied in the affirmative. “I have a team, they take their time, do their homework and choose the best opponent. We don’t know who the opponent will be, maybe he will be from India, or America, Great Britain or maybe he will be from Japan. We just want to put on a show for the people.”

The American boxer, who has 15 major World Championship titles to his name, retired in 2017 but has since competed in several exhibition matches. Before ruling the professional circuit, Mayweather enjoyed a successful stint in amateur boxing, winning a bronze medal in the featherweight division at the 1996 Olympics and three U.S. Golden Gloves championships.

He called for the return of the headgear in men’s amateur boxing, which was scrapped by the amateur boxing governing body in 2019. “I would like to see boys wearing headgear in amateur boxing. We must protect these fighters.

“Without headgear, you see a lot of eyes get cut, you see a lot of scar tissue and when these young fighters turn pro, they’re all already bruised,” he said. Mayweather said young boxers, who are left battered and bruised by the lack of headgear, need to be protected.

“I really feel that myself and the boxing world need to stand up for what is right and protect these young fighters. When they become professional, there is often so much wear and tear without headgear. I had such a remarkable career because I wore a headgear. Headgear protects the fighters,” he said.

He is on his first trip to the country and is visiting popular tourist attractions such as Siddhivinayak Temple and Gateway of India. Mayweather has teamed up with Jas Mathur of Limitless X. The trip marks the expansion of the Limitless

“I always preach about this. Health is your real world. I have spoken about this repeatedly. I want people from all over the world to make sure they are exercising. Sometimes you don’t get all the nutrients, that’s when we take action and make sure people get what they need,” he said.
