Kate Middleton suffers major setback after cancer diagnosis: opinion

Kate Middleton, owner of the borough’s most used treadmill and curling tongs, prepared to marry Prince William.If the princess had gotten herself a diary in those heady pre-wedding days she could have plotted out those very same events – Trooping, Ascot blah blah blah – only she could have added one major red-letter outing of her own.For years now, by and large, Kate has used the early months of each new year to debut some new big, bold bit of her marquee early childhood work.Let us take a Princess Anne-approved canter down memory lane.In January 2020, Kate launched the Five Big Questions survey, which saw 500,000 Brits take part in a landmark survey about the state of early childhood.The beginning of 2021 proved a bit of a bugger thanks to the perfidious spread of a certain virus and the fact that someone had to pop round to sanitize the Crown Jewels.Still in June of that year Kate was able to launch the Royal Foundation for Early Childhood. (William has no foundation of his own, it’s worth noting.)In February 2022 the show was back on the road with the princess heading to Denmark for a two-day trip to learn about the Scandinavian nation’s world-leading approach.

Molly Ringwald reveals she was almost cast in ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ — this is why she was rejected

“Sixteen Candles,” “Pretty in Pink” and “The Breakfast Club.”But the budding actress was eager to transition to more mature roles after appearing in those coming-of-age flicks — and she came close to scoring parts in two iconic movies. In an interview with Variety, the new 56-year-old dished on the directors she met at the end of the 1980s, saying: “I got really close on a couple movies. I met with Mike Nichols for ‘Working Girl’ and Jonathan Demme for ‘The Silence of the Lambs,’ but ultimately I was too young.”For “Working Girl,” which was released in 1988, Ringwald was presumably in talks to play plucky young secretary Tess, with the role eventually going to Melanie Griffith.
