7 premiere. So, there’s that … but not a whole lot more in the ‘toon, at least not yet. It strives too hard to mimic the metaverse of “Family Guy” with a plethora of pop culture references and asides that mostly fall flat and fail to hit their marks.

But a question remains: Why did the monarch, 75, choose to reveal his diagnosis in full while his daughter-in-law did not?According to a People source, “it was sensible” for Charles “to be more open about it, as otherwise, people might have thought the worst.”As the reigning king, Charles’ health is of the utmost importance to the monarchy and the citizens of the UK and his decision to share his health status with the public has caused a surge in interest in the disease.According to the UK’s National Health Service website, last week there was a 1,000% surge in searches about prostate enlargement.When she revealed her diagnosis, the Princess of Wales, 42, said in a statement that she “appreciates the interest this statement will generate.”“She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible,” the memo added.Middleton shares children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, with husband Prince William.The Duchess of Cambridge “wishes to apologize to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements.“She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible,” the statement concluded.She will not undertake any public engagements until after Easter as she recuperates.
