It's been announced that Princess Kate is undergoing treatment for cancer.  Though not a big fan of the royal family, I hope the outcome is good for her.  Dealing with cancer is rough and she has three young children to try to be there for.  

Just out of being human I hope she has a full recovery and doesn't suffer too much from the chemo.

I wonder if they are regretting chasing Harry away? I hear that Camilla is handling a lot of duties.

It shows how disengaged William is from the duty side of his job that Charles' cancer is being dealt with in a much more open, honest and appropriate manner. And Charles is about two centuries out of date.

My current blessing is "May you have fewer problems than I've had."

It used to be "May you be in Heaven for an hour before the Devil knows you're dead." Not received well.

Seems kinda self-centered.

It would reinforce it, so...yes. You don't wish people fewer troubles by bringing up your own.

Awful scenes from Baltimore. The Francis Scott Key bridge (Interstate 695) collapsed after being struck by a cargo ship. There were clearly vehicles on the bridge at the time, including a highway crew with flashing yellow lights. Nightmare stuff.

Sky is reporting that the ship appears to lose power and change course minutes before it struck the bridge.

Hmmm, starting to see a pattern here.  We have planes falling apart in the air and ships taking out bridges...I think I will just continue to stay home.

Cargo ship that hit Baltimore bridge was involved in Antwerp collision in 2016 (msn.com)

The same vessel that hit the Baltimore Key Bridge on Tuesday, destroying it and sending people and vehicles tumbling into the water, was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.

His estimated net worth is 1.2 billion.
