Princess Kate apologizes for editing photo |
Whoops! After a photo she shared of herself with her three children was removed from use by several major photo agencies, Princess Kate apologized and said the confusion over the photo was because of her editing. Conspiracies have been swirling for weeks on social media about her whereabouts, and this certainly didn't help. 👑📸 Here's everything we know. |
What happened? The Associated Press, AFP and Reuters issued removal notifications shortly after the family photo − showing Kate seated on a chair and surrounded by her three children − was published, citing concerns it had been manipulated. |
Where is she? The princess, 42, had planned abdominal surgery Jan. 16 and has been out of the public eye since. The reason for the surgery hasn't been revealed, but Kensington Palace, Prince William and Kate's office said it was not cancer-related. |

Netanyahu on Rafah assault: 'It's either Israel or Hamas' |
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday defended his plan to expand Israel's military offensive into the southern city of Rafah, and his defense minister warned Hamas not to test Israel's resolve during Ramadan. More than 1 million Palestinians have sought refuge in Rafah as Israel storms through Gaza. |
What he's saying: Netanyahu dismissed the objections of President Joe Biden and other world leaders over invading Rafah, saying he doesn't want to leave "a quarter of the Hamas terror army in place." 👉 More updates from the conflict. | Muslim worshippers perform "tarawih," an extra lengthy prayer held during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, next to the Dome of Rock at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem, March 10, 2024.

Trump expands immunity claims to hush-money case |
Former President Donald Trump asked to postpone his New York criminal trial on charges he falsified business records to pay hush money to alleged mistresses by pointing to his presidential immunity claim under consideration at the Supreme Court. |
Trump's argument: As he has in two other cases, the former president claims he is shielded from some of the allegations because he cannot be prosecuted for any crime committed as part of an official act as president. |
On the flip side: Legal experts said it would be difficult for Trump to argue those official duties included paying hush money. |
Timing is everything: The court calendar is also an issue. And because the situation is unique – no former president has ever faced criminal charges – Trump contends the case should be postponed to avoid having to hold the trial twice. 👉 We break it down. | | | | HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge will step down from Biden administration, saying the agency has done much to help families but more needs to be done. | | | |  | Republican lawmakers cited FBI informant's claims as proof Joe and Hunter Biden took $5 million bribes.
