INFAMOUS French Serial Killer Charles Sobhraj WALKS Free
— Charles Sobhraj, the infamous French serial killer known for murdering at least a dozen Western tourists in Asia during the 1970s, is now free. He recently shared his story in a televised interview. “He likes to have the attention put on him,” said retired detective Jackie Malton.

ROYAL FAMILY Under Siege: Cancer Strikes Twice, Threatens Monarchy’s Future
— The British monarchy faces a double health crisis as Princess Kate and King Charles III both battle cancer. This unsettling news adds further strain to an already challenged royal family.
Princess Kate’s diagnosis has prompted a wave of public support for the royals. Yet, it also underscores the shrinking pool of active family members. With Prince William stepping back to care for his wife and children during this difficult time, questions arise about the monarchy’s stability.
Prince Harry remains distant in California, while Prince Andrew grapples with scandal over his Epstein associations. Consequently, Queen Camilla and a handful of others bear the responsibility of representing a monarchy that now garners increased public empathy but lessened visibility.
King Charles III had planned to downsize the monarchy upon his ascension in 2022. His aim was to have a select group of senior royals carry out most duties — an answer to complaints about taxpayers funding numerous royal members. However, this compact team now faces extraordinary stress.

He pointed out that by going public with his diagnosis, he has managed to shine a spotlight on cancer and its impact, as well as highlight organizations dedicated to supporting patients and their families across the U.K.
