    Kris Jenner breaks silence on viral facelift

    Reality TV star and the Kardashian-Jenner momager, Kris Jenner, 69, confessed that she recently went under the knife again, for what she called her way of ‘ageing gracefully’.

    For the unversed, Kris Jenner recently left people wondering about the pleasant change in her appearance, as she debuted a more youthful and rejuvenated look at Amazon boss Jeff Bezos’ wedding with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez this June.

    Addressing the same in her new cover interview, the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch admitted that she got a facelift before turning 70 in November, in order to refresh her 15-year-old procedure.

    “I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh,” the momager said and reasoned, “I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy.”

    “Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself,” the ‘Kardashians’ star suggested further. “If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything.”

    “But for me, this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version,” she maintained.

    “I decided to reveal some details because I feel it can be very ­inspirational to people who aren’t feeling so great about ­themselves. I have the conviction that sharing these things can be helpful,” Jenner explained.

  • Why Prince William and Kate Middleton are renting Forest Lodge instead of buying it?

    Why Prince William and Kate Middleton are renting Forest Lodge instead of buying it?

    Prince William and Kate Middleton are preparing to move from their current home, Adelaide Cottage, to a larger residence known as Forest Lodge. However, one question that arises with this royal move is: why are they renting it instead of buying it?

    The couple, along with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—will relocate to the eight-bedroom property later this year. This move reflects their long-term plans, as Forest Lodge has been described as their “forever home.”

    Despite this upgrade, Prince William and Kate Middleton will not be purchasing the property outright. Instead, they will rent Forest Lodge from the Crown Estate, which is under the ownership of King Charles.

    This arrangement is common for members of the royal family, and the couple is expected to pay a market-rate rent, although the exact figure will remain confidential. Historical records show that in 2001, the property was listed for £15,000 per month, and costs are likely higher today.

    Kate Middleton and Prince William’s decision to rent rather than buy is primarily due to the property being part of the Crown Estate, meaning it cannot be sold.

    The couple will therefore lease the home on a long-term basis. This mirrors similar arrangements within the royal family, such as Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie at Bagshot Park and Prince Andrew at Royal Lodge.

    Forest Lodge, once known as Holly Grove, is a Grade II listed building.

    The property underwent £1.5 million worth of restoration work over two decades ago, and it is currently being refurbished before the Wales family moves in. Renovations, both internal and external, have been approved by local authorities.

    Kate Middleton and Prince William’s decision to stay in Windsor underlines their commitment to family life and proximity to royal duties.

    Their children are settled at Lambrook School, and this move ensures they remain close to Windsor Castle for official engagements.

    For Kate Middleton, this transition also provides more space for her growing family while maintaining a sense of privacy away from the palace spotlight.

    Kate Middleton will oversee the upcoming move as the renovations near completion, ensuring the new family home meets modern standards while preserving its historic character.

    Prince William and Kate Middleton are expected to relocate to Forest Lodge later this year once all works are finished.

    Earlier, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s decision to relocate to Forest Lodge sparked mixed reactions among their soon-to-be neighbours.

    The couple, who currently live at Adelaide Cottage, will shift into the eight-bedroom property later this year, marking what many believe will be their long-term residence.

    While some locals have expressed excitement about welcoming the royal family, others are concerned about privacy issues.

    Reports suggest that additional fencing, screens, and landscaping have been added around Forest Lodge to ensure security for Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

    New security measures are also expected before the family settles in.

    Daily Mail revealed that two nearby tenants were relocated earlier this summer due to the property’s proximity, though they were offered comparable or better Crown Estate homes.

    VEHARI/SIALKOT: Authorities have imposed Section 144 in several Punjab districts to restrict public visits to bridges, rivers, and canal banks for recreational activities and selfies amid rising floodwaters.

    A large number of people, particularly youth, were reportedly flocking to bridges and canal sites despite the dangerous conditions. A viral picture showing crowds at Head Islam in Vehari raised concerns about possible incidents.

    Vehari Deputy Commissioner (DC) Imrana Tauqeer issued a notification banning swimming, tube swimming, bathing, and all types of recreational activities along rivers and canals, including Head Islam and Head Syphon Bridges.

    She said such activities during the ongoing monsoon and flood season have already caused tragic incidents of drowning and pose serious threats to public safety and peace. The order will remain in force until September 26, 2025.

    Similarly, DC Sialkot Saba Asghar Ali also enforced Section 144 in her district, prohibiting public gatherings and visits to bridges, rivers, canals, and nullahs for one month. The notification cited torrential rains and high-level flooding as the reason for the ban.

    According to the DC, many individuals were visiting flooded sites to take selfies and engage in recreational activities, creating risks to human life and law and order. She said violators would face legal action under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
