MARTIN Kemp has joined celebrities in wishing Princess Kate well amid her cancer battle.
Posting on Instagram, the singer shared a never-before-seen snap of his family when they met Kate as part of a short film about mental health.
In the photo at Martin’s home, we saw Kate beam alongside Martin, his wife Shirlie and their children Roman and Harleymoon.
Alongside the post, the Spandau Ballet star wrote: “Sending so much Kemp love to the Princess of Wales and all her Family.”
The post, which was shared just two days ago, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 44,266 likes, as social media users rushed to the comments to share their affection for Kate.
One person said: “Her message really touched me.. made me fill up. Such a lovely lady.. with such young children..
“I thought her message was so brave and something she didn’t have to share.. but that just shows how fabulous she is.. that she let us all into her world at this time.
“So much admiration for her right now.”
Another added: “We love her. We’re so lucky to have her and she’s just the best ambassador for our country, we have to look after her.”
A third commented: “I hope and pray people leave her alone now so she can heal, recover and get herself well again.”
At the same time, someone else wrote: “Lovely picture and lovely message.”
It comes after last week, Princess Kate revealed that she is undergoing treatment for cancer in a brave video message.

Teaming up with Wahlberg and Gibson, both acclaimed actors and producers in their own right, Barr seeks to challenge the status quo and offer audiences content that reflects a broader spectrum of viewpoints.
The decision to launch a non-woke production studio comes amidst growing dissatisfaction with the prevailing narrative in Hollywood.

With each passing year, Jennifer Lopez’s fabulous physique only improves, and she certainly wasn’t shy about flaunting it on Friday. The star sported a small bra top and leggings as she made her way to a gym in Miami alongside her partner of more than a year, retired Yankees athlete Alex Rodriguez.
Jennifer Lopez, 49, and Alex Rodriguez, 43, were spotted heading to a gym in Miami, looking all set for a workout session. Jennifer was sporting a purple two-piece workout outfit, rocked a pair of shades, and carried a black Hermes bag. She tied her hair up in a tight bun and completed her gym look with black sneakers. Alex, on the other hand, opted for a simple dark T-shirt, athletic pants, and tennis shoes. The couple seemed ready to break a sweat together and stay fit.
Her appearance: The vocalist rocked a trendy purple outfit consisting of a two-piece set. Jennifer complemented her look with stylish sunglasses and a spacious black handbag.
Loosening up: At one point, the singer arched her back to get in a stretch
Relaxing: During a workout session, the singer stretched and arched her back. Jennifer and Alex are regular workout buddies. Since they started dating in February the previous year, the couple always show up to support each other at events. Whenever Alex is commentating on sports, Jennifer is there cheering in the audience. And when Jennifer is rehearsing or performing, Alex is there capturing her on camera.
Fitness enthusiasts Jennifer and Alex have been frequently spotted working out together, especially during their time in Miami in May. Before getting together, Jennifer was in a relationship with former backup dancer Casper Smart. Jennifer, who is of Puerto Rican descent, has been married three times and is a proud mother of twins Max and Emme, who are 10 years old, from her most recent marriage with Marc Anthony. Alex, on the other hand, was previously married to Cynthia Scurtis for six years from 2002 to 2008. Together, they have two daughters, Ella who is 10, and Natasha who is 13.
Both drop dead gorgeous and talented, the Jones Girls were individually accomplished singers; but together, their voices were absolutely heavenly. And at PIR they found the perfect match in the melodic writing and lush production that Gamble & Huff and Dexter Wansel/Cynthia Biggs provided them. Their second and third PIR albums were gems. At Peace With Woman and Get As Much Love As You Can featured a number of now classic cuts, including the club favorite “Nights Over Egypt,” the sassy “I Just Love the Man” and a timeless cover of the Stylistics’ “Children of the Night.”In what would prove a career mistake, the Jones Girls left Philadelphia International for RCA Records in 1984, and couldn’t recapture the magic. They retired the group in 1985 and lead singer Shirley Jones went solo, returning to PIR in 1986 for Always In The Mood and its #1 hit, “Do You Get Enough Love.” She continued to record sporadically over the next decade, and the group reunited from time to time for special concerts and issued a 1992 reunion album, Coming Back, in Europe.The sisters spent much of the next decade raising their children, occasionally reuniting for shows (particularly in Europe) and providing guest vocal help to other artists. They released Best of the Jones Girls in 2000, a great sampler of their work on PIR and an essential purchase for lovers of sophisticated, well orchestrated soul music. Sadly, sister Valorie died the next year.
Brenda Jones ultimately moved to Atlanta, where she sang frequently with her four-piece band, performing both Jazz and R&B numbers, including several Jones Girls tunes. She later moved to New York after her children were grown, to have a more active performing and recording schedule. Brenda died tragically on April 4, 2017 after being hit by an automobile.Shirley Jones is based in Atlanta and has appeared in several stage plays and concerts in the US and Europe with such artists as Jean Carne, Glenn Jones and Cherelle. In 2010, after a long recording break, Shirley released the solo album, Feels Like Heaven. She has continued to record successful singles since then, and also tours regularly, performing solo or with backing singers replicating the Jones Girls sound.Despite their relatively brief recording period on PIR, the Jones Girls’ exquisite harmonies and engaging stage presence, combined with the uniformly excellent songs they received, created a powerful musical legacy that continues to this day. Happy birthday, Shirley!
Susan Boyle captured the hearts of music lovers around the world when she first appeared on the third season of “Britain’s Got Talent” over a decade ago.
The video of her first audition when she stood in front of Simon Cowell, shy and unassuming and then blew everyone away with her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables has been watched by millions.
She gained fame, as well as earned millions of dollars through album sales. However, her journey hasn’t all been sunshine and roses, and the singer’s love life has long been the subject of rumors and speculation.
So, did Susan Boyle ever marry? Does she have a partner?And where is she living now?

It’s quite natural to stop and look in the rearview mirror as you grow older – and Susan Boyle can certainly look back on a remarkable life.
In 2008, the unemployed charity worker lived alone with her cat, Pebbles, and wanted to see if she could make it in show business. After performing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables in front of Simon Cowell and the rest of Britain’s Got Talent judges, the 47-year-old became a star overnight.
The crazy underdog audition gained her instant recognition across the world. Even today, her journey is inspiring to millions.
“I used to be a kind of spectator looking outward at the world. But now I’m part of that world and, though frightening, I’m going to embrace it,” Boyle said after her breakthrough.
In her first year as a superstar, she made $6.8 million.
Her success continued and after the release of her second studio album, she became the third artist to top the charts in the UK and the US twice in the same year.
Overnight this unassuming and shy then 47-year-old from Scotland became an international superstar and a millionaire.
Even though her career took her around the globe and made her a multi-millionaire, Susan Boyle has always remained honest, down-to-earth, and genuinely caring.
Unlike many other celebrities, she has never flashed her cash; the humble singer still lives in her childhood home in Blackburn, Scotland.
She purchased the modest house in 2010.

”It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say,” she told OK!.
Susan Boyle was born on April 1, 1961. Her parents – Patrick Boyle, a miner, WWII veteran, and singer, and Bridget, a shorthand typist – were both immigrants from County Donegal, Ireland. Boyle grew up as the youngest of four brothers and six sisters.
The family lived in a council house in West Lothian, Scotland. Still to this day, Susan lives in that house.
She could have done anything, gone anywhere, bought a mansion in Beverly Hills, but instead, she returned to her childhood home, a four-bedroom ex-council house in Blackburn, Scotland, bought it, and turned it into the home of her dreams.
In a tour of her newly decorated abode, which she’s called home for 60 years now, she reveals her stunning new piano room which is the first thing you see when you enter her home.
She joked about her piano room as she said she’d only just started having lessons.
“That’s a giggle for a start because I can’t even do scales,” she joked.
The newly renovated kitchen used to be small and sparse with a table in the center near the oven which she said made it hazardous, but the renovation gives her a lot more space and many updates. It even has a framed photo of Susan meeting Pope Francis.
Her living room is bright and homey and full of pictures of her family. Susan is the youngest child of 7 brothers and sisters so originally her house occupied 9 people. It must feel a lot roomier now.
As you move through the home, you see her career documented in various framed awards and accolades along with many cute animal ornaments, a testament to her gentle nature and down-to-earth personality.
Upstairs Susan shows us what used to be the room she once shared with her two sisters which then became hers after her sisters left home. She recalls the record player that used to sit in the corner and how she was a huge fan of The Osmonds.
Her father died in the 1990s by which time her brothers and sisters had all left home. Susan stayed at home and cared for her elderly mother until her death in 2007 so the household’s precious memories for the superstar.
“Some people seem surprised that I choose to stay in my family home. Why shouldn’t I? I feel Mum is still here and there are so many good memories … I’ve spent most of my life in this house and I won’t move now, because I feel it’s part of my new history,” she said.
Susan has always been open about the fact that she wants to meet the love of her life and find a long-term partner. That person will of course move into her house – because Susan is not leaving.
While SuBo is patiently waiting to meet ”Mr Right”, there is something else that has been bothering her for a while. Susan has always wanted to be a mother and have children of her own.
”I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret, but I love kids. They’re good fun to be with,” she told The Sun.
As a 60-year-old woman, time is not exactly on her side. But Susan has opened up on perhaps adopting or becoming a foster parent for children who need a safe and loving home.
“I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?” she said.
Susan’s home reminds us all that despite her overnight stardom she’s still an everyday person who chooses to live the quiet life in the only home she’s ever known.
But Ellie was ready to take on her dream project, and she started by scraping the floors.
Her father and brother are both expert renovators, and they were close at hand to help and guide her.
After scraping the floors and removing the rot, it was time to start decorating.
The first thing Ellie wanted to change was the color of the camper.
She wanted it to give her own style, so she painted it a bright, beautiful blue called “mystic sea.”
Now, it was time to tackle the inside.
Ellie painted it a peachy color and accented it with aqua blue.
Ellie also laid down a brand new floor.
Gone were the old tiles from the 70s, and in were fresh, new wood-patterned ones.
Now, it was time for Ellie to bring in decorations.
At this point, even Ellie’s grandmother got involved, sewing curtains, towels, and pillow cases.
In the space of one summer, Ellie turned the camper into her own private getaway — and it’s barely recognizable in the before and after pictures.
Isn’t it impressive that a 14-year-old was able to pull off this project? Impressive!
While she was working on the project, Ellie got advice and guidance from her loved ones, who wanted to help her with her summer project.
And of course, they had a standing invitation to visit her in her camper.
“I have never told her that she couldn’t do anything. She has always been an out-of-the-box thinker. I don’t want her to ever feel she has to color inside the lines. I want her to color the entire page!” says Ellie’s mom, Lori.
Talk about doing something constructive over summer vacation! Awesome job, Ellie!
Please share if you also think that Ellie deserves two thumbs up for her great work!
Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, has shown his support for Kate Middleton following her recent announcement about her battle with cancer. In a heartfelt message, the 9th Earl Spencer praised Kate’s “incredible poise and strength.” This message holds extra significance coming from someone who had such a close connection to Princess Diana.
Charles Spencer’s message is a reminder of the poise that both Kate and Diana have displayed during difficult times. Kate’s decision to step away from the spotlight has drawn comparisons to the media attention that Diana faced before her tragic death.
The support for Kate extends beyond her family, with other members of the royal family also voicing their admiration and courage. Even Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tried to reach out privately to offer their support.
While Kate never had the opportunity to meet Diana, she has clearly won the hearts of the Spencer family, who are sending their love during this challenging time.

As reported in January 2024, Cher has spent much of her life pushing the boundaries of what society considers acceptable. Cher has often done things her way, from outfits to songs and opinions. This behavior also extended to her relationships.
Cher posted a photo on X of her straddling Alexander as she tipped his chin up so he could look at her. She captioned the post, “Love is Love.” However, some fans didn’t see it that way.
Her most recent relationship with rapper Alexander Edwards has sent tongues wagging because of the significant age gap. Cher’s most recent post with Alexander has confused fans even further.

One fan was confused as they thought Alexander was Kyle Kuzma, a basketball player. Another fan thought Cher was country singer Dolly Parton. Other fans began asking questions, like why Alexander didn’t post Cher on his social media.
Another fan was concerned that Cher appeared to cry and said she should be happy she was in love. The same fan wondered if they might be tears of joy that Cher was crying.

Regarding their relationship in December 2022, Cher called it “kind of ridiculous” on paper but said they got along well and were happy.

Before Alexander entered her life, Cher had experienced several high-profile relationships. Alongside her marriages to Gregg Allman and Sonny Bono, Cher also had a connection with actor Tom Cruise in the mid-1980s.
Cher and Tom, who was a young actor at the time, first met at Madonna’s wedding in 1985. In later years, Cher fondly recalled Tom as one of her “top-five” lovers, describing him as a wonderful but shy young man who didn’t have much money.
