Sources close to the Royal Family have disclosed that Princess Kate, the beloved Princess of Wales, may remain out of the public eye for the rest of the year as she focuses on her recovery, surrounded by her family, the Daily Beast reported.
The Princess of Wales has not been seen in public since January, fueling a whirlwind of rumors—these range from allegations of a severe health crisis being downplayed to unfounded gossip about marital strife.
A recent attempt by Kensington Palace to quell these rumors with a Mother’s Day photo of Kate and her children has only drawn more attention to the situation.
Critics pointed out apparent heavy editing, which only served to intensify the rumors that the Palace might be concealing the true severity of her condition.

In April, in a move described as “rushed” by palace insiders due to leaks to the press, Princess Kate released a heartfelt video acknowledging her cancer diagnosis and detailing her ongoing treatment.
The hospital where the Princess was treated is involved in a huge security scandal: staff reportedly attempted to access her private medical records after she had surgery in January. And it’s not just any facility: opened in 1932, the London Clinic is the place where King Charles also underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate at the hospital earlier this year.
Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I’m so grateful,” the Princess of Wales said in the video.
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. Dangerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”
“For now, I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time, I’m also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone,” she concluded.
Now, sources close to the Royal Family said that the Princess will likely retreat from the public eye for the rest of the year. She is said to be surrounded by her family, spending time at the family’s country home on the Sandringham Estate.
The Daily Beast reported that Kate’s calendar has been wiped clean. Friends and palace insiders suggest another video update may be expected as a strategic move to mitigate rampant speculation.
The news outlet reported:
The source said: “Lots of people involved in planning need to know what all the principals are doing a long way in advance. I am told that Kate’s diary for this year is empty. There is nothing planned. She may not appear in public for the rest of the year.”
(The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden reported Thursday that Kate’s friends have told him “we might not see Catherine again until the autumn—and only then if she has recovered fully.”)
Asked how the Palace would deal with the inevitable resurgence of conspiracy theories and speculation that a protracted absence would provoke, The Daily Beast’s source said: “I would not rule out another video message updating the country on her health. That proved to be a very effective way of keeping the conspiracy theorists at bay.”
A friend of Kate and William told The Daily Beast: “The key thing for her now is avoiding any kind of stress or anxiety and just getting on with the business of getting better. They will bail out and be off to Sandringham the moment school breaks up.”

Discussing populism, conservative betrayals, and the left, Steve Bannon shares his views on how true change can happen. (Screenshot: GB News)
In a recent interview on GB News America with Steven Edginton, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon delivered a scathing critique of conservative parties in the UK and the US, accusing them of betraying their voters and failing to uphold their promises.
Bannon emphasized the need for grassroots movements and political will to bring about meaningful change.
Bannon opened the discussion by distinguishing himself from traditional conservatives, identifying instead as a populist nationalist.
He argued that conservative parties globally have become “controlled opposition,” who are unwilling to take the necessary measures to enact real change. This failure, he claimed, has led to a significant loss of trust among voters and the rise of populist movements.
“I’m not a conservative; I’m a populist nationalist. I mean, the conservatives are what’s called controlled opposition. They’re afraid of taking the measures they need to take. This is why the conservatives in Europe have been overthrown by what they call right-wing parties, these populist nationalists. You call it the sovereignty movement; here, we call it populism nationalism,” Bannon said.
Focusing on the UK, Bannon criticized the Tory party for shifting towards the center-left and failing to uphold the policies outlined in their 2010 manifesto. He highlighted their inability to address key issues such as immigration and economic policy, leading to a disconnect with their voter base. According to Bannon, this betrayal is rooted in cowardice and a lack of political will.
For context, the Tories were a loosely organized political faction and later a political party in the Parliaments of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom.
The Tory party has become “a center-left party. And every time they had to make a tough call until recently to save themselves, they’ve blinked,” Bannon said.
Drawing historical parallels, Bannon compared modern conservatives to those in 1940 who were hesitant to confront Hitler. He argued that the failure to address immigration issues has been a significant betrayal by conservative parties.
Bannon also referenced the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution, suggesting that significant political change often requires a small, dedicated group willing to act ruthlessly. He warned that without such resolve, conservative parties are doomed to fail.
Bannon stressed the importance of grassroots movements in taking control of political parties. He praised the efforts of populist nationalist movements in Europe and the US, citing the takeover of the Republican Party by grassroots activists as a model for others to follow.
“Look at the arc of where we’ve come, particularly in taking over the Republican Party: firing McCarthy—the first time a Speaker of the House has ever been fired in the history of the Republic—getting rid of Mitch McConnell and throwing out the RNC.
“We’ve reached new levels because we’ve taken over the grassroots. We have a true populist-nationalist movement, and we have a leader in President Trump, who is as close to a populist and economic nationalist as you’re going to get in today’s environment. The Conservatives have done the exact opposite. I mean, the Conservatives are a perfect example of a Tory Party,” said Bannon.
Edginton, in a profound reflection on conservatism’s challenges, questions the long-held belief that the 1960s alone marked the beginning of a cultural decline.
“Many Conservatives today, in Britain and in America, blame the 1960s as an era as to why there has been particularly a cultural decline from a conservative perspective, socially conservative perspective, whether it comes to sexual revolution or civil rights,” Edginton asked.
Yet, Bannon extends this timeline further back, marking the post-World War era and the assassination of prominent figures like JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X as the true catalysts. He points to these assassinations, particularly JFK’s, which he controversially asserts involved CIA-led regime change tactics, as the moment the Western cultural fabric began to unravel, leading to the Vietnam War and civil unrest across the globe.
But Bannon doesn’t just stop at identifying historical moments; he charges today’s conservative leaders with inertia. In a fiery critique, he accuses them of failing to act decisively, resorting instead to intellectual exercises like drafting white papers and attending conferences.
Bannon: “You know why they did nothing? Because it’s too f—king hard. They’re gutless. The reason this country, and the West in general, is in the shape it’s in is because the Conservatives, who talked a good game about doing better, didn’t have the fortitude to sit there, fight, and say no.
And this is why you have moms going to school boards to throw out pornography. The reason we’re winning in the United States is that we’re not depending on a conservative elite who are gutless and feckless.
We’re depending on mothers and fathers and school boards. We’re depending on working-class people taking their extra time to go to precinct strategy because they said, “Hey, we’re prepared to stand and fight and not let our country be taken.” And that’s what’s important. Everything else is just conversation. You have to have the political will and the muscle to sit there and say, “They can call me a racist, a nativist, a xenophobe, a sexist, a homophobe—all of it.” When they resort to name-calling, that means they’ve lost the argument, and we’re winning.
You’ve got to draw that, you’ve got to lance the boil and draw that pus out of the system. And the Conservatives aren’t prepared to do that. They’ll curl up in the fetal position because they’re not going to be acceptable with the clubs. You have to get over it.
You have to understand we’re unclubbable, and we’re f—king proud of it, okay? And we’re going to save our country. Eventually, leaders will step up in England and come to the forefront and save the United Kingdom.”

There’s a major case out of Marinette, Wisconsin, that impacts every absentee voter in the state. The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) redesigned absentee ballot envelopes, wasting $600,000 in so-called “election security funds.”
What’s worse, if a judge allows these envelopes to be used in the election this year, there would be no chain of custody of the request for the ballot, making it easier to commit voter fraud in Wisconsin, either knowingly or unknowingly.
In August of last year, the WEC announced the redesign of the absentee certification envelopes to “provide voters with a more user-friendly way to vote absentee in upcoming elections.”
WEC, however, does not have the authority to change state election laws in Wisconsin.
On Friday, a Marinette County judge granted a temporary restraining order against WEC following a lawsuit that alleges the commission redesigned absentee ballot envelopes in a way that violates existing Wisconsin election laws.
Wisconsin attorneys Kevin Scott and Dan Eastman represent a Marinette County voter, Thomas Oldenburg, who filed the lawsuit concerning “the envelope case.”
According to Wisconsin law, an absentee voter must submit a signed statement inside the ballot envelope for it to be lawful. However, the new ballot envelope rolled out by WEC prompts voters to certify the envelopes themselves.
Scott and Eastman argue this violates existing state election laws since an envelope can’t replace a legally required application form.
In a press release, Scott stated, “The Hobson’s choice is either you sign a false statement under oath or you don’t get your absentee ballot counted. Now everybody should care about that. That’s not a partisan issue because these envelopes were created by the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.”
The new EL-122s, as opposed to previous versions of these envelopes, contain a section that requires the elector to certify under penalty of law that the elector requested the ballot and that the EL-122 itself was “an original or a copy of that request.”
Scott added, “The problem with these envelopes is that they force voters, under penalty of law, to make a false statement. That false statement in which they’re returning an absentee ballot is a copy of the application for the absentee ballot. It’s the most ridiculous, absurd statement you could make.”
Further, Scott and Eastman argue that allowing these new envelopes to be used in future elections will disenfranchise Wisconsin absentee voters.
At a press conference in Union Grove on Monday, Eastman said, “So at this point in Wisconsin, the only way you can vote is in-person at a polling place because you can’t use the envelope until WEC fixes the envelope, or you know, the judge pulls the TRO. The point is, we have a state agency that is basically out of control.”
Election integrity hero State Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls), who was removed from her position on the Election Committee by anti-Trump Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos, calls the latest WEC scandal an “incredible disaster.”
According to The Federalist, Brandtjen said, “There is no trail for requesting a ballot. … This would make the mail-in delivery system untraceable.”
She added, “Do you just want to hand the election to the Democrats? There is no downside to cheating in the state of Wisconsin with Republicans who are uneducated or unwilling to understand election law as it stands.”
Brandtjen also renewed calls to remove Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe.
The allegations against Wolfe include promoting and encouraging illegal alterations of absentee ballot applications during the administration of the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin.
Scott added, “People will say, ‘What’s the big deal?’ but absentee ballot voting being misused is a real issue. This hurts an entire community’s vote.”
The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this 2020 voter fraud scheme in several battleground states where military ballots shockingly went almost entirely to Joe Biden.
In March, Wisconsin Democrat Kimberly Zapata was found guilty on all counts against her in a voter fraud scheme involving military ballots in the battleground state. Prosecutors say in 2022, she ordered military ballots using names she made up.
Judge James Morrison is scheduled to make a final judgment on this case on Wednesday, June 5, at 1 p.m.

After dim predictions from the establishment media, and mocking social media posts from certain New York Congresswomen, Donald Trump’s South Bronx rally was, by most metrics, a smashing success.
Despite the dreary rainstorms in the morning portending a muddy rally, the sky cleared in time for Trump’s arrival, and a crowd estimated to number in the thousands, far exceeding expectations, congregated to support the former president.
(Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that the crowd numbered anywhere from 8,000 to 10,000 strong.)
Granted, several of those attendees came from out of state — or at least, out of the immediate area — but not nearly as much as the establishment media predicted.
Even CNN, as seen in a clip of the coverage shared to the social media platform X, had to acknowledge the truth about the rally’s demographics.

Kristen Holmes, the reporter on the scene, was speaking to Anderson Cooper as she covered the rally live.
The clip began with Cooper asking, “What was the crowd like, and what kind of response did he get?”
“Well certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this one of the bluest counties in the entire country,” Holmes responded.
She continued: “Now, one of things that was interesting to me is that the Trump campaign said that they were going to microtarget to get people from the community to come to this rally.”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect,” Holmes added. “I’ve gone to a lot of these rallies across the country, and there are often people who travel hundreds of miles to see Donald Trump, and they’re not necessarily part of the community.
“However, one of the things that I found was that there were a lot of people here that were actually from the Bronx.”
Now, there’s an astounding, if unexpected, admission from a CNN reporter.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the inept Democrat Representative for this region, and other Democrats had tried to spin a narrative that Trump and his allies would exclusively bus people in from other cities and states to boost the numbers.
And, while there were many people from outside the local community — which isn’t unusual for any political rally — CNN’s Holmes effectively dispelled the idea the South Bronx wouldn’t care about Trump.
CBS News, as seen in a clip shared by conservative speaker Charlie Kirk, even noted that the rally “did look a lot like America.”

Granted, it has not been possible to tell exactly how many people truly were from the Bronx and surrounding areas, and even with this unexpected turnout, Trump still faces a massive uphill battle to flip the deep blue New York.
As Fox News noted in their story on the event, Trump won less than 16 percent of the vote back in 2016, and about 20 per cent in 2020.
However, this election cycle Trump has been gaining more support from Black and Hispanic voters, who have historically been a reliably Democrat voter block.
Moreover, even Axios had to note that this rally was a sign of the “realignment” in the Democrat and Republican parties.
This election cycle, the Democrat party has gained more support from white suburbanites than the minority base they have heretofore counted on.
Regardless of whether or not Trump wins this state, it was certainly an astonishing sight to see a predominantly Democrat locale show up in droves for the Republican candidate.
If even CNN had to admit that, then you know the Democrats are in trouble.
The real question is, how long will it take for Sleepy Joe Biden and his administration to wake up to that fact?
