Kate, 42, Princess of Wales, is now allowed to recover at home. Almost two weeks ago, the wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William, had an operation and has been treated in hospital since then. “The Princess of Wales is back home in Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery,” Kensington Palace announced on Monday on the X platform (formerly Twitter).. “She’s making good progress.” She and her husband wanted to thank the hospital team. The family is also grateful for the well wishes they have received from all over the world. Kate had abdominal surgery around two weeks ago. The reason for this is not known; it is not believed to be cancer. Also her father-in-law King Charles III, 75, who underwent a procedure at the same hospital, is back home, according to Buckingham Palace. He postponed some public appointments in order to recover privately.

A date for the German cinema release has not yet been set.
Mark Knopfler74, former Dire Straits-Frontman, takes money for something. He has 120 guitars and several other musical instruments and amplifiers auctioned off at the London auction house Christie’s. According to a report by the German Press Agency, the Brit was nostalgic at the opening of the exhibition: “Admittedly, when I saw some of the pieces, I had to swallow a little and wish I could take them home with me again.” But the pain he feels is a happy one because the instruments “hopefully become new friends” for their new owners. One of the most prominent pieces in the auction is the reissue of the “Gibson Les Paul Standard ’59” from 1983, which Knopfler used to record the hits “Money For Nothing” and “Brothers In Arms.” He also played it at the historic “Live Aid” concert at Wembley Stadium in 1985. Bids of between 12,000 and 17,000 euros are expected for the instrument.
Victoria Beckham, 49, singer and designer, has dealt with her past through the media. The four-part documentary “Beckham”, which was shown on Netflix last year, was “pretty liberating” for her, she said in an interview with Financial Times. Normally she always tries to stay in control when filming, but the documentary was primarily about her husband David. “That’s why I took the approach that I’m just going to take it very easy here.” While watching the documentary, she remembered the hatred that greeted her and her husband at the height of their success. The documentary was something like a public rehabilitation. They found letters of apology on her windshield. “People come and say, ‘We love the documentary,'” Beckham said.
