We’ve become accustomed to certain Hollywood romance stereotypes over time. There are young, attractive couples who openly share their blossoming love on social media, co-stars engaged in secret on-set affairs while facing allegations of adultery, and older men in their sixties or seventies openly dating much younger, beautiful women.

We often passively witness these paradigms and accept them as the norm without questioning them. But Pierce Brosnan, despite initially fitting this stereotype, boldly and unapologetically defied these expectations.

To provide some context, Pierce has been happily married to his wife, Keely, for twenty years, and they have two children together. However, despite the apparent strength of their relationship, Keely has recently become the target of unjust and intolerable hatred.

In response, Pierce stood up for his wife publicly, demonstrating his unwavering love and support. His actions convey a powerful message:

Pierce loves every aspect of his wife’s physique, regardless of others’ opinions.

When he first met American journalist Keely Shaye Smith in 1994, Pierce was a widower, having lost his first wife, Cassandra Harris, to ovarian cancer in 1991. Her passing left him devastated and uncertain about how to raise their three children on his own.

Keely entered his life at precisely the right moment, offering encouragement and enabling him to embrace the challenges and joys of parenthood.

“Her friends offered her weight-loss surgery. However, I adore every curve in her physique. She is the most beautiful woman in my eyes. Additionally, she gave birth to our five children,” Pierce Brosnan declared.

In 2001, they tied the knot in Pierce’s home country and lovingly welcomed two sons, Dylan and Paris, into their lives.

Over the course of twenty years, their bond has continued to grow stronger. Just a few days ago, Pierce sent a heartfelt 20th-anniversary message to Keely, expressing, “Happy anniversary my dear Keely, my love forever increases with you.” He attached two pictures of the couple, taken twenty years apart, illustrating the beautiful progression of their relationship.

There is no valid reason for anyone to say anything negative about this couple, yet they continue to face criticism, primarily targeting Keely’s appearance, particularly her weight. The public’s reaction is both shocking and disappointing.

Critics question why Pierce chose to marry an ordinary woman who is conventionally attractive and age-appropriate, rather than pursuing someone younger and more glamorous, given his wealth and status.

However, Pierce’s love for Keely defies outdated gender stereotypes about women and desirability. It challenges the notion that women must adhere to societal expectations of beauty and body size to be deemed worthy of love.

As people age, priorities shift, and external validation becomes less essential for confidence and self-esteem. Pierce has made it clear that he values Keely for who she is, not just her physical appearance.

When you commit to someone, you agree to grow and adapt together as they change. Love isn’t a one-time event; it’s a complex, evolving connection.

In an interview, Pierce revealed that some family friends had suggested weight-loss surgery for Keely, but he steadfastly respects her and finds her beautiful in every way. He appreciates her curves and imperfections and doesn’t care about the idle opinions of internet trolls.

Pierce emphasizes that he has always been drawn to Keely for her personality and loving heart, not solely her physical beauty. His affection for her has grown even stronger as she became the mother of their children, and he strives to be worthy of her love.

While Pierce need not respond to offensive comments or explain why he continues to love her after twenty years, their public display of affection as an older couple is heartwarming. It challenges the unrealistic standards placed on women’s bodies and appearances.

Their enduring love demonstrates that attraction and desire are rooted in intellectual and emotional connections, not superficial ideals. Spending time with someone is about more than physical attraction; it’s about connecting on a profound level and wanting to be with that person above all others.

Pierce’s devotion to Keely is a testament to the fact that external opinions should not be a concern. Lasting happiness is achievable as long as you hold your partner in high regard and accept their imperfections.

Elinor Donahue is famous for her important part in the popular American TV show “Father Knows Best”. But even after that show ended, she didn’t stop working. She continued to do well in both acting and other areas.

She was born in Washington and is now 86 years old. Recently, she appeared as a guest in the soap opera “The Young and the Restless”.

In the TV show “Father Knows Best,” Elinor played Betty Anderson, the oldest daughter also known as ‘Princess’. The show was about a regular family living a happy life in the Midwest.

It started on the radio in 1949 and aired every Thursday until 1954. Then it moved to TV on CBS. Only Robert Young continued his role from the radio, playing dad Jim Anderson.

Elinor was a big part of the show for six years. At its best, it was one of the top ten most watched American TV shows. During this time, she also acted in other shows like “Crossroads” and “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.”

Her schedule was busy, and she once said she didn’t have time to watch the show herself.

“When we got home at night and had dinner, it was time to learn our lines and then go to bed to do it all over again. So, I never got to watch the show,” she told Closer magazine.

Elinor was born in Tacoma in 1937. She became the main money-earner for her family when she started acting as a teenager. She appeared in movies like “Love is Better than Ever,” which starred Elizabeth Taylor, and “Girls Town.”

Because Elinor was still young when she started acting in California, she had to have an adult with her on set all the time. Since her dad wasn’t around and her mom worked full-time, her mom Doris gave up her job to be there for her.

After “Father Knows Best” ended, Elinor appeared in other shows like “The Andy Griffith Show,” “Dr. Kildare,” “Star Trek,” and “Mork & Mindy.”

The 86-year-old actress has been in over 70 TV shows and movies like “Winter Wonderland” and “Pretty Woman.”

Elinor got married for the first time when she was 19. She said she felt like a young teenager even though she was technically an adult. She thought getting married and having a baby would make her feel more grown-up.

“I was just 19 but felt like I was still 13,” she said. “I hadn’t really had a chance to grow up yet. I didn’t have many friends from high school… I thought if I got married and had a baby, I would become a grown-up.”

So when a man asked her to marry him, she said yes. This man happened to be Richard Smith, who was a sound man on “Father Knows Best.”

“We went to see a movie together, and during the movie, he whispered in my ear, ‘I love you and I’d like to marry you.’ I just laughed and said, ‘Okay.’”

She had her first son, Brian, with him. But they got divorced six years later, in 1961.

Then in 1962, she married a TV producer named Harry Ackerman. They had three sons together. He was 20 years older than her, but they stayed happily married for almost 30 years until he passed away in 1991.

The next year, she got married again, to her current husband, Lou Genevrino, who works as a contractor. She’s been retired from acting for the past ten years.

For someone who never really thought about being on the screen she has had a prolific and very successful career.

Please share with all the ‘Father Knows Best’ fans you know.

• Celebrity embrace of natural aging has sparked debate over the years.
• However, the backlash has been met with powerful responses from stars.
• Support and admiration from fans highlight a shift in beauty standards.

Critics labeled her old, prompting Cohen, who also has silver hair, to denounce the comments as “misogynistic,” as he never received the same criticism for his hair.

In response, Parker, 58, articulated her views on aging in an interview, questioning why people derive pleasure from others’ discomfort with aging.

The actress expressed, “It almost feels as if people don’t want us to be perfectly OK with where we are, as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better.”

In addition, she asserted, “I know what I look like… What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?” Being in her late 50s, Parker emphasized her comfort with her appearance and aging, highlighting a refusal to obsess over it. “I like to be graceful with myself. I’m not delusional. I know that age adds up…” said the award-winning Hollywood A-list star.

Diane Keaton

Like Parker, Diane Keaton has navigated the complexities of aging in the public eye with remarkable dignity. At 77, Keaton showcased her gray hair at the 2014 Golden Globes, receiving praise for aging naturally.

Online users reportedly loved the esteemed veteran star’s look so much that they even prompted blog posts on how to achieve her stylish silver hair.

An advocate for aging gracefully, Keaton, now 78 years old, has voiced her acceptance of cosmetic procedures but prefers to showcase her “battle scars.”

“I don’t see anything wrong with face-lifts or Botox or fillers. They just erase the hidden battle scars. I intend to wear mine, sort of,” said the Academy Award-winning actress

Reflecting on aging, she contemplates the quality of life in later years, stressing the challenges older individuals face in remaining connected with society.

Jennifer Aniston

Similarly, Jennifer Aniston has faced her own journey with aging under the Hollywood spotlight. Aniston, celebrated for her role in “Friends,” showcased her gray hair in 2023, leading to mixed reactions online.

Initially resistant to graying, Aniston’s embrace of her natural hair color sparked debate among fans, with some applauding her courage and others critiquing her appearance.

“Anyone would think going gray was an anamomaly for tv/movie stars seriously!! We better give Jennifer a plack/award for it she’s soooo brave it’s never heard of [sic],” one person wrote.

Meanwhile, some of the TV star’s fans raved about her new look, complimenting her for going gray. “Well done for allowing gray to come through – refreshing,” said one person. “Aside from some bad lip work, she looks amazing,” another individual commented.

Some people mentioned that Aniston looks even more beautiful with gray hair, while others stated she looks as gorgeous as usual. “I am sure she entered the gray hair stage a while back – she’s just starting to embrace it,” an online user said.

However, others believe the movie star going gray would ruin her overall appearance. One social media user advised Aniston, “Nah. Dye it. I know, it’s empowering and all that nonsense. Do yourself a favor and make it blonde.” Someone else who disliked Aniston’s gray look told her “Gray hair doesn’t suit you yet. Save it for later plz.”

Now 55, the Emmy Award winner credits her Greek genes for her ageless beauty. She advised people to stay hydrated and use good face products, which have also played a part in her young-looking appearance. “Don’t overproduct, that’s the other thing. Getting proper sleep is always important,” she added.

Aniston has been vocal about the pressures of agelessness in Hollywood, advocating for natural beauty and condemning social media trolls for their harsh criticism of celebrities’ appearances.

Keanu Reeves’ Girlfriend Alexandra Grant

In a parallel narrative, Keanu Reeves and his partner Alexandra Grant exemplify the strength found in defying conventional expectations together. The couple has faced scrutiny over Grant’s gray hair since their relationship went public.

Grant, who embraced her natural hair color after years of dyeing, has been criticized for looking older than her age. One person on X (formerly known as Twitter), commented, “They say Keanu Reeves’ girlfriend is 46… She looks old as my grandma.”

Another person asked why Reeves’ girlfriend looked older than she actually was: “Why 46 years old Keanu Reeves’ girlfriend looks like she’s 70?” On the other hand, some people commended Grant’s courage to go gray on The Talk’s post, but others said they would never risk going gray.

One online user noted that Grant looked mature for her age because of the gray hair, adding: “[…] But not everyone looks their age. I’m in my late 50’s, and I look a lot younger. Anyhow, if they’re happy, who are we to judge.”

Other people commended Grant for going gray with one individual writing, “I don’t have the guts to go gray. But I think it’s crazy how people are making harsh comments regarding Her hair! “

In a December 2019 Instagram post, Grant, a visual artist, revealed her hair turned gray prematurely in her early twenties and she often dyed it. However, she soon stopped dyeing her locks due to the toxicity of the dyes.

“In my 30’s, I let my hair turn “blonde.” I love and support that every womxn can choose how she wants to look at every age. But/and, if womxn are perishing from beauty standards, then let’s talk about those beauty standards. Love to all womxn!” the now-54-year-old penned.

Despite negative comments, many fans have expressed support for Grant’s decision to go gray, highlighting the couple’s happiness as the most important factor.

Roseanne Barr

Echoing Grant’s defiance, Roseanne Barr has also embraced her gray hair, confronting the negative comments with a sense of pride in her age.

Barr, whose is in her early seventies, has been subject to body shaming on social media for her natural aging process, including her gray hair.

The best-selling author has undergone a dramatic transformation through the years, which includes changing hairstyles and dyeing her hair. But in 2007, she stated she would stop dyeing her hair and wear her natural gray full-time.

However, Barr, who is also a comedian, started to embrace the aging process in 2008 when she attended the TV Land Awards with her natural gray hair.

Fast forward to 2020, the television star began posting photos of herself rocking long silver hair which she styled in waves, on her social media. A year later, Barr shared a picture wearing a cheetah print dress with gray while showing off her gray locks.

Despite the negativity, Barr has embraced her age and gray hair, stating, “I want to look old because I am old. And I think it’s good to be old, too.” Barr’s stance on aging reflects a broader acceptance of natural beauty standards.

Jodie Foster

Finally, Jodie Foster’s experiences bring the discussion full circle. Foster faced criticism for her appearance, particularly her gray roots, in the trailer for HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country.”

The trailer of the long-awaited series came out in April 2023, and while many people were happy to see the Oscar Award-winning actress, otherwise were quick to point out how much she had aged.

In the clip, Foster appeared with her natural gray hair and aging face. Some people were stunned to see the former child star looking her age and mentioned how she is getting old.

One person assumed that the film star has had work done on her face, writing, “I hope she hasn’t gotten one of those facelifts that gives everyone who gets one that permanent ‘pork chopsh and apple shauce’ lishp thing.”

Despite negative comments about her aging, Foster remains content with her natural appearance. Support from fans has shifted the conversation from criticism to admiration, highlighting Foster’s enduring beauty and talent. One individual said she looked good, another sang her praises and complimented her beauty.

These celebrities, facing and responding to criticism over their natural aging process, highlight a growing movement towards embracing natural beauty and challenging traditional beauty standards in Hollywood.

Adam Sandler and his wife, Jackie Sandler, recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.

Over the past two decades, Adam and Jackie have been inseparable

Cherishing the joys of raising their two daughters together.

Despite his busy career, Adam consistently makes time for his family, showing his dedication to maintaining a balance between his professional obligations and his personal life.

Adam Sandler, celebrated for his diverse roles in iconic films ranging from the romantic comedy “Just Go with It” to the intense drama “Uncut Gems,” continues to be a beloved figure in Hollywood.

Beyond his successful acting and producing career, Adam is deeply committed as a husband. This June, he and his wife Jackie celebrated twenty years of marriage, marking a total of 25 years together since they first met, five years prior to their wedding.

In Hollywood, where long-lasting marriages are often rare, Adam’s unwavering commitment to Jackie is especially noteworthy. To commemorate their 20th anniversary, Adam shared an elegant photo from their wedding day, captioning it with heartfelt words: “Happy 20th my sweet Jackie! Your ‘I do’ was the best gift of my life. My heart has been yours since the first second I saw you, and I love and appreciate your devoted soul more and more each day. Us. The kids. Let’s keep going and going babe. Lots of love to give you. Always.”

The photo shows the happy couple hand in hand, beneath a beautifully draped walkway, with Adam looking lovingly at Jackie, who returns his gaze with a tender look.

Their story began on the set of the 1999 film “Big Daddy,” where they first met. Adam was starring in the lead role, while Jackie, initially a model, took a minor acting part as a waitress. Adam recalls that moment as one of immediate connection, saying, “We locked eyes and fell deep.” Their relationship blossomed from there, both on and off the set.

They were married on June 22, 2003, in a beautiful Jewish ceremony at Dick Clark’s Malibu estate, surrounded by 400 guests, including Adam’s beloved bulldog Meatball. In a touching gesture of commitment, Jackie converted to Judaism in 2000, and during their wedding, Adam and Meatball both wore yarmulkes, with Adam carrying Jackie’s wedding band on his back in a traditional Jewish custom.

Three years into their marriage, they welcomed their first child, Sadie Sandler, in 2006, with Adam announcing the joyous news on his website to maintain some privacy during this special time.

As a father, Adam places his children at the center of his life, embodying the love and joy that define his family. His story with Jackie continues to inspire, a testament to enduring love and shared values in a world of fleeting connections.

Two years after welcoming their first daughter, Adam and Jackie were fully immersed in the joys of parenthood. One evening in 2008, Jackie planned a surprise for Adam, enlisting their two-year-old daughter Sadie’s help.

Adam remembered coming home late, expecting Sadie to be asleep. Instead, Jackie met him at the door, saying Sadie had a special gift for him before bedtime. Curious, Adam took the small box from Sadie.

Thinking it was just a sweet bedtime gesture, Adam thanked his daughter, ready for her to head to sleep. However, Jackie insisted he open the box right then. Giving in to her persistence, Adam opened it to find a positive pregnancy test inside, leaving him utterly surprised.

Adam’s Life as a Devoted Father: Later that year, Adam and Jackie welcomed their second daughter, Sunny Sandler, further strengthening their family bond. Adam’s daughters have since appeared in several of his film projects, hinting they may follow in his footsteps. For Adam, family time and support are paramount.

Reflecting on his marriage, Adam stressed the importance of presence and communication. “We don’t ever think of not being together,” he stated, highlighting their lifelong commitment.

In a 2014 interview, Adam shared his approach to parenting, emphasizing family dinners and bedtime rituals as essential. Despite the sleepless nights and anxieties that come with parenthood, he treasures the joys and responsibilities it brings.

While his public persona may be that of a movie star, Adam’s primary focus is his family. He believes his daughters’ happiness deeply influences his own, showcasing his profound dedication as a father. This commitment highlights the deep love and care he brings to his role as a parent.

Notoriety power couple George and Amal Clooney have drawn notice lately for their quick move. The pair, well-known for their love of old and scenic homes, said goodbye to their beloved family home in Berkshire, England.

The two-child Clooney family purchased the Grade II-listed property in September 2014, not long after their lavish wedding on the Venetian Riviera. After more than $25 million in renovations, the 11,000-square-foot, 17th-century estate was turned into a contemporary, luxurious home.
Its highlights include an Astro-Turf tennis court, a well-designed garden with pine trees, and a 60-foot swimming pool with a covered area and hot tub.

The mansion was vulnerable to flooding despite efforts to maintain solitude due to its closeness to the Thames River, which required an extra $60,000 expenditure in flood-proofing measures. The Clooneys decided to move due to severe flooding problems that were made worse by the bad weather in Britain. Notwithstanding the area’s natural beauty, neighbors attested to the couple’s absence from the house since their back garden was up to four feet underwater.

 

The huge Provence wine vineyard that is the Clooneys’ new home provides relief from England’s inclement weather. The mansion, which features a tennis court, swimming pool, and lush gardens, is a testament to the couple’s lasting love of European life.
Their devotion to the continent is demonstrated by their famous Lake Como Italian estate, which is treasured for both its gorgeous surroundings and its ability to accommodate illustrious visitors.

George Clooney emphasized the villa’s importance and its significant influence on his life, even in the face of allegations that he was selling it.

What’s next for Snoop Dogg and his newfound country music comrade, Jason Aldean? A duet, perhaps? A hip-hop-country crossover track that sweeps the nation?

While that’s a tantalizing prospect, the chances are as slim as a rolling paper. Nonetheless, it’s worth keeping an eye out.

16-year-old Joey runs away from home to pursue his dreams, leaving his widowed mother behind. Thirteen years later, he returns home to see her again but is greeted by a deserted house instead, where he only finds a half-burnt note.

As a 16-year-old filled with ambition and dreams beyond the confines of his rural life, Joey decided to leave home. He left a farewell note to his mother, Flora, beside her old sewing machine.

His backpack was packed and strapped to his back.

After taking one last look at the house he lived in with his mother after his father’s death, Joey turned around and walked away without once glancing back.

Unaware of Joey’s plans, Flora spent her day on the farm, waiting for the son who promised to help but never showed.

Despite his love for his mother, Joey felt constrained by the life laid out for him on the farm. He dreamed of becoming a doctor, a dream he believed unattainable if he stayed.

His attempts to convince Flora to sell the farm and move to the city were futile; her attachment to the land and memories of his late father held her back. Unwilling to abandon his dreams, Joey saw no option but to leave, even if it meant leaving his mother and their life behind.

As he approached the highway, ready to hitchhike to the city, his mother’s plans for dinner and her voice filled his mind.

***

Joey’s journey to the city began. On the bus, he pondered his decision and how he was risking everything. His friend Dan had assured him of a job that would start his new life in the city.

Joey hurriedly called his friend from a payphone after arriving downtown. Dan instructed him to get to his home by taxi, but Joey was shocked at the $30 fare for a short ride. Frustrated and nearly broke, he finally arrived at Dan’s house, glad to be welcomed warmly.

But his hope had diminished after that expensive and tiring day. “I came here with big dreams, but now I’m not sure,” Joey admitted, his shoulders sagging.

Dan reassured him, promising not to charge him rent until Joey was settled in his new job at a grocery store. “You’re going to be fine,” he comforted him. “You’ll earn enough to cover your expenses soon.”

Joey’s spirits lifted at his friend’s words. “When can I start?” he asked eagerly.

“Don’t worry, it’s a great opportunity, and you’ll make good money,” Dan assured him.

Unfortunately, Joey quickly realized the demands of his new life were more significant than anything back home. The satisfaction of receiving his first paycheck was overshadowed by a pressing urge to call his mother, Flora.

Despite his desire to share his success, the fear of being persuaded to return home constantly stopped him.

“I’ll make more money, then I’ll call her,” Joey told himself, viewing the money as a step closer to his dream of studying medicine.

But his optimism was short-lived when Dan reminded him of the rent and food expenses on payday, unexpectedly asking for a thousand dollars, nearly all of Joey’s earnings.

Faced with the harsh winter and the realization that his income barely covered his living expenses, Joey’s college dreams seemed more distant than ever.

“What am I going to do now?” he fretted.

On a regular day, Joey was about to sit outside and eat lunch when an older man fell on an icy patch on the road. He rushed to help out, bringing the old man a bottle of water after getting him upright.

The old man introduced himself as Mr. Clark and sat with Joey for a chat.

“You’re an amazing young man,” Mr. Clark said, reaching into his pocket for a card. “Call me, Joey. I would love to know more about you, young man!”

Joey pocketed the card with a polite smile, unsure of what to make of the encounter. But while thinking about the old man later, he decided to go to him.

“Joey! My boy! I knew you’d call me,” the old man said cheerfully. Joey was glad and simply asked Mr. Clark how he was feeling. The old man answered but quickly pivoted to the real reason he had given him his business card.

Mr. Clark was in charge of a scholarship fund for ambitious youths like Joey. “A scholarship?” he squeaked.

“Yes, Joey,” Mr. Clark continued, “a full scholarship with stipends for accommodation and food. All you need to do is focus on your studies.”

The prospect of achieving his dream without financial burden was almost too good to be true. But Mr. Clark was serious and generous. And once again, the intense desire to call his mother surfaced. But Joey hesitated, wanting to have more to tell her. That was how 13 years passed…

***

As a graduated doctor, Joey celebrated with the man who made it all possible, who toasted his success. “So, Joey, you’ve done it, young man! I’m proud of you…and I’m sure your mother would be equally proud,” Mr. Clark mused.

“Soon…very soon!” Joey assured, though his heart was heavy with the thought of facing his mother after such a long absence.

Finally deciding to return home after buying a small house for Flora, Joey drove back to his hometown, filled with anticipation.

He was astounded and shocked to see the condition of the house. Everywhere was deserted and hollow; it seemed like it had been that way for over a few years.

The grass around it was overgrown, and the dust on the windows was a couple of inches thick. Getting down from his car and walking towards the front door, Joey could feel his panic swelling.

“Mom! Mom!” he yelled, his voice echoing in the house as he barged right through the door after knocking without getting any response.

The inside was just as abandoned as the outside, and Joey could feel his fears double in intensity as he looked around the house with no trace of his mother. He instantly called his mother’s number, but regardless of how many times he called, no one picked up.

At that moment, Joey felt regret, realizing how big a fool he had been for not calling her all these years.

“Is-is she—” unable to say the thoughts brewing in his head out loud, not knowing what he would do if it were true. He didn’t give up searching the house and continued to look through every nook and corner of it.

When he was about to give up, he glanced at the fireplace, shocked to see a half-burnt letter poking out slightly under the ashes and dust. He instantly bent down to reach for it, not expecting to see his name written right at the top of it.

His eyes teared up as he read:

“Joey, sweetie, I miss you so much. Where did you leave me and go?

“I wish you had never left me. If I knew you had planned to leave me and disappear like this, I would have agreed to go with you instead.

“Please come back, Joey. I miss you to the core. Nothing can ever replace you.

This silence around me is killing me. The house is so empty, and my heart feels heavier and haunted without you. I wish—”

The rest was burnt to ashes.

Convinced he needed to find his mother, Joey wiped away his tears and tried to find help. Stepping outside, he encountered their old neighbor.

“Mr. Colins. I just got back, and I’m looking for my mother,” Joey explained, breathing heavily.

“Are you Flora’s son…the boy who ran away thirteen years ago?” Mr. Colins asked, squinting his eyes.

“Yes. Where’s my mother? She’s not home. Did she tell you anything?” he asked, his voice quivering.

Mr. Colins revealed that Joey’s mother had been taken to the hospital. He thanked him and rushed off. “Please…please be alright, Mom,” Joey whispered in the taxi, fearing the worst.

“MOM!” he exclaimed, approaching Flora’s side after finding her room.

Flora’s eyes fluttered open, and upon recognizing Joey, she enveloped him in a tight embrace. “JOEY…my boy!” she cried, tears of joy streaming down her face.

He cried again, not wanting to let go. “I’m so…so sorry for not calling or visiting you earlier… I didn’t want to disappoint you,” he confessed, his voice breaking.

Flora brushed aside Joey’s apologies. “Tell me more, Joey. I want to hear you talk…Oh, your voice! How I missed hearing that voice…and laughter,” she urged, messing with his hair.

Joey shared his journey, from the struggles in the city to becoming a doctor, thanks to Mr. Clark’s scholarship. He revealed his plans to rebuild the farm and insisted that Flora move in with him in the city until the farmhouse was restored.

Flora agreed without hesitation. After many years of separation, neither wanted to be apart again, even for a second.

One member of the royal family who’s truly coming into his own of late is Prince William and Kate Middleton’s youngest child, Prince Louis. The young royal has stolen hearts since he was born in 2018, but as he grows up, he truly steals the show from his older siblings.

April 23, 2024, marks Louis’ 6th birthday, and there’s no doubt this year will bring even bigger things for the young royal as he continues his school journey, which he started in September 2022. Adorably, his favorite song is “Happy Birthday.” In honor of the prince’s special day, let’s take a look back at his life and some of the moments where he’s shown the public his charming personality.

Louis was born on April 23, 2018, at the same hospital where his father was born, London’s St. Mary’s Hospital. The prince, who emerged at around 11 a.m., was a healthy 8 pounds, 7 ounces. Beyond being the youngest of the Wales bunch, Louis is special in other ways, too. Louis is just fourth in line to the throne, as he is preceded by his father, William, and siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Interestingly, Louis was the first male-born heir who would not precede his older sister in the royal succession.

The youngest Wales child is also an unusual contender for the title of Duke of Edinburgh later in life. The late Prince Philip notably wanted his youngest son, Prince Edward, to inherit it, which he did once King Charles III acceded to the throne. However, a caveat states that it is only for his lifetime and will not be passed to his son but instead will revert back to the crown, with insiders speculating it will likely go to Louis.

Read on to learn more about Prince Louis’ life so far.

Prince Louis is a fan favorite among the royals as the baby of his family. Not only is he a darling little boy, but he is also one of the world’s favorite royal family members, as his cheeky personality has come out in full force in the last couple of years. From his public appearances, it’s clear to see that Prince Louis is the charmer of the iconic family.

Children grow up quickly, but photographs allow everyone to relive bygone moments. The Prince and Princess of Wales have, therefore, taken to capturing their children’s lives in photographs over the years. As a result, many cute and adorable pictures of their children exist that chronicle their growth. For Louis’ 4th birthday in 2022, photos of him playing on the beach were released. Taken by his mother, who photographs all of the Wales children for their birthday portraits, the images depicted Louis as he’d grown into a young boy.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but live-action antics tell a much more detailed story! During 2022’s Trooping the Colour, which took place in June during the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebration, Louis made an even bigger impression on the public. He momentarily waved at the crowd before pulling funny faces at everyone below.

When the RAF flypast took place, Louis’ mood seemed to have changed quickly as he put his hands over his ears and appeared to let out a yell. Surrounded by his mother and grandmother, Louis wasn’t the only child to cover his ears, as Princess Charlotte did too. Nevertheless, despite crowds being delighted to see the queen during her big celebration, he stole the show that day. The internet made their love for Louis’ antics no secret, but he certainly wasn’t done.

By the time June 6, 2022, came around, it was time for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant. The royal family and many other notable guests, including then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, were seated in grandstand seating, as they had the best view of everyone. Louis’s relative Mike Tindall — who is married to Prince William’s cousin Zara Tindall née Phillips — may have even predicted that the young royal would be back with more funny faces, as he was photographed light-humoredly showing Louis that he would be keeping an eye on him.

It seems even a well-natured warning from his relative couldn’t stop Louis from putting on another display — this time even bigger than the last! During the pageant, Louis’s face included a range of emotions, from boredom and uninterest to cheeky messing around with his mother.

In fact, Middleton looked to be having a tough time getting her youngest to behave. Seated next to one another, Middleton and Louis even had a little face-off as the youngster grabbed his mother by the chin before he put his hand over her mouth to shush her!

Middleton took it in her stride, as any mother would, and by the end, Louis appeared to have calmed down. He even gave his mom a kiss and cuddle. He also walked over to his grandfather, King Charles, and sat on his lap.

On his grandfather’s coronation day, much like his behavior in previous royal events, the 5-year-old acted like any other kid – behaved for a large part of the time – but still lived up to what the public has hailed him, “Prince of Faces,” as he made some candid faces to the photographers.

Nevertheless, Prince Louis was on his best behavior as he sat beside his mother, Kate, and his sister, Princess Charlotte.

Sadly, in 2024, the British royal family was struck with a tragedy when both King Charles and Kate were diagnosed with unspecified types of cancer. The two have since received the best care from medical professionals and are recovering, while Charles has returned to some of his royal duties.

In March 2024, weeks before Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis, Kensington Palace released a poorly edited photo of Kate and her children that caused an international scandal. Given the fact that Kate and the royals were heavily criticized for the photo, The Independent reported the Waleses may break from their tradition of releasing photos of their children on their birthdays — that are photographed by Kate herself — knowing the large amount of scrutiny the images would be under.

According to a Sunday Times source, after the fallout from the photo-editing blunder, there is no “firm decision” yet whether or not the Prince and Princess of Wales are bringing in a professional photographer to take Louis’ photos. “They (Kate and William) appreciate the public’s love and affection for their children and know there is a public appetite to see them on their birthdays,” the source added.

Aside from the yearly tradition of taking the Wales children’s portraits, it’s been revealed that Kate usually spends a late night making a cake for her kids too, but that could also change this year given she is still in recovery.

“I love making the cake,” Kate shared during an appearance on A Berry Royal Christmas with Mary Berry. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ’til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.”
