Even though there are still many unanswered questions about Kate Middleton, not the least of which is what led to the “abdominal procedure” that will keep her out of commission until after Easter, there has been an update that should interest everyone who considers themselves to be a royal fan.
The Princess of Wales is scheduled to attend her first formal engagement following surgery on June 8, according to sources.
Hi there! Say that one week prior to the big event, on that date, Kate will review Trooping the Colour.
The Household Division’s official website has a statement that says, “Her Royal Highness reviewed Trooping the Colour.” The Princess of Wales is exactly the same as Trooping the Colour as seen by His Majesty the King, with the exception that when He is present, a few more mounted officers ride.
“The second of two formal Reviews will feature a parade of over 1400 soldiers from the Household Division and The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, along with 400 musicians from the Massed Bands,” the statement reads.
Kate’s scheduled return to royal duties on a set date may help soothe the fears of many who have interpreted the general dearth of information since the future Queen’s operation as a negative sign.
In recent weeks, there has been a lot of conjecture around the potential that Kate’s condition is worse than the Palace has disclosed. In an attempt to reassure the public that Kate was “doing well,” the Palace itself was compelled to release a statement restating its earlier assertions that all is OK with her recuperation.
Nevertheless, the general dearth of public knowledge has left a void where speculation frequently spreads like wildfire.
The fact that the Princess of Wales had not been spotted in person or on camera since Christmas did not assist the situation much. That is, until yesterday, when Kate was photographed sitting in a car outside of Windsor Castle with her mother, Carol Middleton.
With the photo, Kate was seen for the first time in seventy days. Even while the Royal Family has been trying to convince royal admirers over the past week that the Princess is only recovering on her own terms, away from the flashing of cameras, this has led to a new round of wild speculation.
Every Day a New Surprise: Mom Discovers Mysterious Baby Toys on Son’s Grave!
A grieving mother who visits her son’s grave almost every day is shocked when she finds baby toys there and learns an unexpected truth about her son’s life.
“A MUSICIAN? Have you lost your mind, Leonard?” Kenneth yelled when his son said he wanted to be a musician.
Leonard was 18 years old, just out of high school, and excited to follow his dreams. But his parents wanted him to be a lawyer, and Leonard did not want that job.

He took a gap year after high school because he didn’t want to rush into career choices. During that time, he discovered that music was what he really wanted to do. But when he told his parents he wanted to be a musician, they were not happy.
“But what’s wrong with becoming a musician, Dad?” Leonard complained. “Many people follow their passion and become successful. I want to be one of them! I don’t want a boring desk job!”
“Listen, son,” his father replied. “I’ve made my decision clear, and I don’t want to repeat myself. You are going to be a successful lawyer like your grandfather and me. Is that understood?”
“There’s no way, Dad!” Leonard shot back. “You can’t force me to do something I don’t want to do! I want to follow my passion for music, and that’s what I’ll do!”
“But, honey,” his mother said. “Your father isn’t pressuring you. He just doesn’t want you to waste your time on something uncertain. Many people have big dreams, but only a few succeed. He cares about you and doesn’t want you to suffer.”
“Oh really, Mom?” Leonard snapped. “If he really cared, he would support me!”
“Calm down, Leonard. Remember you are talking to your parents!” his father warned. “If you want to make your own choices, then pay for your own university. If you stay with us, you have to listen and obey. Otherwise, leave!”
“Fine, Dad!” Leonard said. “I’ll prove you wrong one day. I don’t want to be your obligation anyway! I’ll make my own money and my own name!” With that, he walked away to his room.
His mother, Lily, urged him to calm down and talk later, but he was too angry. That evening, he packed his bags and left, vowing never to return.
Lily begged him not to go. She even tried to convince Kenneth to stop their son, but Kenneth was stubborn and refused to change his mind. Leonard was determined to prove his parents wrong, so he left home, cutting off all ties.
Three years went by without any contact between Leonard and his parents. Lily worried about him and called several times, but each call went to voicemail, and Leonard never called back.
One morning, while making breakfast, Lily’s phone rang. She quickly wiped her hands and answered it, but what she heard left her in shock.
It was a call telling her that Leonard had died in a motorcycle accident before reaching the hospital.
Lily broke down, unable to accept that her son was gone. “No way! That can’t be true! My son can’t be dead!” She cried loudly, which brought Kenneth rushing into the living room, stunned to see Lily on the floor, holding her phone and crying.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Kenneth asked, worried. But Lily couldn’t speak.
Kenneth grabbed the phone from Lily’s hands. “Hello? Who is this?”
“This is Officer Duncan,” the voice on the other end said. “I’m sorry to inform you that your son, Leonard Williams, died this morning in a motorcycle accident. Please come to confirm the body. We found your number in his phone.”
Kenneth couldn’t believe it. “Are you sure it’s our Leonard? This can’t be happening…”
“We found this contact on the victim’s phone. It was listed as ‘Mom.’ You need to come and confirm the body. Thank you,” Officer Duncan said before hanging up.
Kenneth and Lily were heartbroken. They rushed from Chicago to Milwaukee, where the officer said Leonard’s body was, hoping it was all a mistake or a bad dream.
When they arrived at the morgue, they were devastated to see their son’s lifeless body. Lily cried on the floor, and tears streamed down Kenneth’s face.
The next day, Kenneth and Lily organized Leonard’s funeral in Milwaukee. They were too heartbroken to bring him back to their hometown, where their relationship had soured. The loss of their son put a strain on their marriage.
Kenneth became very quiet and drank heavily, blaming himself for being a terrible father. Lily, on the other hand, blamed Kenneth for kicking Leonard out.
In the days that followed, Kenneth couldn’t bring himself to visit Leonard’s grave. He felt guilty and couldn’t face his son. But Lily drove two hours to visit his grave every day.
One day, when she arrived, she saw a small teddy bear at Leonard’s grave. She thought someone must have left it by mistake, so she set it aside, placed her flowers, and sat down to talk to her son for a while.
However, when she returned the next day, the teddy bear was back, along with several other toys.
She was confused and wondered if someone was intentionally leaving them. She asked the caretaker if he knew anything, but he didn’t.
As she arrived at the cemetery, she noticed a young woman standing by Leonard’s grave, holding a baby. The woman’s eyes were closed as if she was praying. After a few minutes, she placed a toy near the grave and walked away.
Lily was curious and decided to approach her. “Excuse me,” she said. “Do you know my son? I saw you placing a toy at his grave. Have you been doing this for days?”
The woman looked surprised. “Are you Lily Williams? Leonard’s mother?”
“You know me?” Lily asked, wide-eyed.
“Yes, Mrs. Williams,” the woman said, tears welling up. “I’m Carrie. I’m Leonard’s girlfriend. And this baby is Henry, our son.”
Lily was shocked to see the baby, who looked just like Leonard! “But Leonard never…”
“I never imagined we would meet like this, Mrs. Williams,” Carrie said, struggling to hold back tears. “Leonard missed you a lot. He wanted to reconnect with you, but…” Carrie couldn’t continue as she started crying.
Lily comforted her, and they walked to a nearby park. Sitting down, Carrie shared the whole story.
Leonard had met Carrie while pursuing his music dreams. Due to a lack of money, he worked as a part-time waiter at a diner, where he met Carrie.
They moved in together, and more than a year later, Carrie got pregnant. Leonard was overjoyed! He wrote a song for their baby, which got attention even though it wasn’t a big hit.
That inspired him to pursue his music career more seriously, and he began reaching out to producers. But then tragedy struck when he was in an accident.
On that very morning, Carrie had gone to the hospital for labor pains. A neighbor had called for an ambulance for her, and she had no idea Leonard had been in an accident. She was unconscious for a few days after giving birth, and when she woke up, she learned Leonard had died.
Carrie couldn’t stop crying and began visiting his grave almost daily, leaving the toys that Leonard had bought for their child.
“I didn’t know what to do when I found out he was gone,” Carrie said. “The police tracked my address through Leonard’s driver’s license, and that’s how I found out. They said you and Mr. Williams planned the funeral in Milwaukee. I called the cemeteries until I discovered Leonard was here.
“I wanted to meet you but didn’t know how. Leonard loved you and promised that when he became famous, he would call you and his father so we could all be a family. But sadly, that didn’t happen.”
Lily couldn’t hold back her tears. She had lost her son and didn’t want to lose her grandson too. So she invited Carrie and Henry to move in with her, insisting they were part of her family.
Carrie hesitated at first but eventually agreed when Lily insisted.
That fateful day changed Lily and Kenneth’s lives for the better. Kenneth became a loving grandfather to Henry, and caring for the little boy helped Lily become more patient and understanding, improving their relationship.
Carrie felt lucky to have met Lily and Kenneth, who were wonderful grandparents to Henry. They even helped her get Leonard’s song published by a well-known label.
Henry, now five, is proud of his father’s music career and wants to follow in Leonard’s footsteps, with Lily and Kenneth fully supporting him.
