The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTAs) isn’t shy to famous guests and perhaps the biggest name of anyone in attendance was the Prince of Wales and future King of England, who appeared sad as he discussed his wife’s health.
Prince William’s wife of 13 years, Kate Middleton, recently had abdominal surgery at The London Clinic for undisclosed reasons, and Lady Diana Spencer’s son had no intention of revealing those to the public either.
It normally wouldn’t be an issue as the Royal Family are very secretive about health but, in a stark contrast, King Charles III was very open about his own prostate surgery and then his diagnosis of an unrelated cancer.
“I’ve seen less than ever,” Prince William said, on how many films he has watched. “With my wife it’s been a bit… But I hope we catch up, I’ll make my list tonight.”
Why all the hush?
Middleton simply may not want her private affairs to be known to everyone in the world, which is a reasonable request made by many normal people too, but it hasn’t stopped conspiracies and questions flying around…
The question on many lips is if the King is so transparent about his own health to the nation, then why is the ex-Dutchess of Cambridge being so private?
The only thing we know thus far is that it is not cancer, Kensington Palace made that very clear. Nonetheless, many suspect it could be Crohn’s Disease, a hysterectomy or surgery to handle avid refluxes following the delivery of three children in the last decade.

Whatever the reason, it knocked the future Queen off her feet as she needed her entire immediate family to rally around her and to look after her children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
That included her husband who stepped back from official royal duties for a brief period, whilst Middleton is expected to return to hers after Easter once she is back to a full recovery.
The Fascinating World of Toy Clackers: Discovering the Fun Behind the Toy
Have you ever seen a toy that made you stop and wonder what it was? You’re not the only one! There’s one toy that left a lot of people confused – Toy Clackers. Even today, most people, about ninety percent, don’t know what they are. So, let’s explore the interesting world of Toy Clackers and figure it out together!
A Blast from the Past
In the fun 1970s, Toy Clackers (also called Klik-Klaks) were super popular. These old-school toys are still loved by collectors who enjoy the memories of simpler times. But what are Toy Clackers, exactly? Imagine this: two plastic balls connected by a string. When you swing them, they hit each other and make a cool “clacking” sound. It’s a unique and fun experience!
The Birth of Toy Clackers
It’s hard to believe, but Toy Clackers were invented in 1969 by Wham-O, the same company that gave us famous toys like the Hula Hoop, Frisbee, and Superball. Toy Clackers became super popular fast, and in just the first year, Wham-O sold over 10 million of them. These toys were everywhere, catching the attention of both kids and adults. They were a huge hit!
Safety Concerns and Controversy
With their big popularity came big problems—safety concerns. Unfortunately, Toy Clackers were banned in many places because of accidents and injuries. Some of the plastic balls would break apart, sending sharp pieces flying and hurting kids. To fix this, Wham-O made a new, safer version, but it didn’t become as popular as the original.
A Lasting Legacy
Even with their mixed history, Toy Clackers still have many fans, especially among collectors and people who remember playing with them when they were kids. These vintage toys connect us to the past and remind us of the fun times spent with friends. They might seem simple, but the happiness they bring is priceless.
