The image surfaced on X from Regev Gur's handle and shows Caitlyn raising her glass of wine to pose for the selfie. Caitlyn also spoke to a local TV channel, according to The Mirror. The former Olympian mentioned that she is keeping in contact with her loved ones back in California, including her daughter Kylie Jenner. Caitlyn said, "I spoke with my daughter Kylie, and she urged me to stay safe. I reassured her'. She emphasised, "Don't worry, I'll keep myself safe, and they'll take care of me." Tel Aviv has been on alert after Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles against Israel late on Friday amid escalating conflict between the two countries. The attack came as a retaliation against Israel's strikes earlier in the day, blasting Iran's huge underground nuclear site at Natanz and wiping out its top military commanders. Tensions between Israel, the US and Iran have escalated in recent weeks, amid negotiations over the Iran nuclear deal, which is aimed at preventing the country from developing nuclear weapons.

The chairman of Sona Comstar, a major global automotive parts company, was also a close friend of Prince William, often playing matches with him and other British royals. His activity in the polo circuit earned him a place among Britain's aristocratic social circle. Kapur died on Thursday while playing a match in Windsor when a bee reportedly got into his mouth and stung him. According to PEOPLE, the sting caused a severe allergic reaction, also known as anaphylactic shock, following which he collapsed on the field and died shortly after.

Karisma later accused him of neglecting their sick child to go play polo with Prince William and claimed he married her for publicity, among other allegations, including domestic violence and trying to auction her off. According to the Mirror, Kapoor once said, '(Sunjay) decided to carry on, leaving me behind to take care of our sick four-month-old son, just to play a Polo match with Prince William. I also realised that he had married me only because I was a famous and successful film star, which would facilitate him to be reported in the press.' Sunay Kapur was born into a wealthy business family and completed his studies at The Doon School in India. He then moved to the UK at the University of Buckingham, for his degree in business. Later, attended Harvard Business School. Kapur inherited his father's business, remarried and moved to England with his wife Priya Sachdeva.

He didn't distinguish between his grooms or high net worth friends; he had a party, everyone was invited, and everyone was equal.' An eyewitness told the outlet that right before his death, Kapur said to people nearby, 'I've swallowed something.' Upon consulting an expert, it was known that the allergic reaction caused his blood pressure to drop and his heart to stop.
