Diana Reportedly ‘Challenged' Camilla Over Charles Cheating Rumors ‘Public' Fight—There Was ‘Fury'
Now, a new book about King Charles, titled Rebel King: The Making of a Monarch by Tom Bower, is disclosing a tense encounter between King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the king's then-wife, Princess Diana. The confrontation took place at a birthday party in 1989, long before the affair between Charles and Camilla and the marital issues between Charles and Diana were even public knowledge.

It all reportedly took place when Diana arrived unexpectedly at a party that Camilla and her then-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, were attending. Bower writes, 'Diana arrived unexpectedly at a birthday party at Annabel Goldsmith's house in Ham, near Richmond. Charles was with Diana, while both the Parker Bowleses were already there. As the room fell suddenly silent, Diana challenged Camilla to leave Charles alone.'
Camilla reportedly 'controlled her fury' and told Diana that her behavior was 'unacceptable in a private house.' That's not all, according to Bower, 'The princess, she said was poorly placed to complain. While Camilla confined herself to a single, conventional relationship, Diana, she had been told by friends, was 'working her way through the life guards.'
Afterwards, each side placed the blame on the other. ''Camilla's intimates blamed the bruising encounter on Diana for creating 'such a public scene'. Others accused Camilla of b—hiness.'

Details of the relationship between King Charles and Queen Camilla are well-known. Camilla met her first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, before Charles, and the two had even broken up by the time she met Charles. However, Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the family did not approve of the relationship.
Reports indicate the Queen Mother organized a secret meeting between Andrew and Camilla's families, and a wedding date was agreed upon. The couple married in 1973. But the two remained friends and even reportedly rekindled their relationship in 1980. Charles and Diana married in 1981, which means Charles and Camilla were already back together by that time.
Camilla was reportedly a big issue in the marriage between Charles and Diana, with Princess Diana even saying 'there were three of us in this marriage' in a very famous BBC interview in 1995.
But recent revelations make it clear that not only was this so since the beginning, Princess Diana knew and even tried to do something about it at some point. Charles and Diana separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996. Princess Diana would pass away in a car accident in 1997. Charles and Camilla would then finally tie the knot in 2005.

Dave Edmunds Fighting For His Life After Wife Reveals He Died in Her Arms Before Being Given CPR
Rocker Dave Edmunds, 81, is fighting for his life in a U.K. hospital after experiencing 'major cardiac arrest' that left him with 'brain damage and severe memory loss,' according to the musician's heartbroken wife, Cici, per WalesOnline. The makeup artist shared the news on Facebook, telling fans that her 'beloved' spouse of 40 years — known for 1970s hits such as 'I Hear You Knocking' and 'Crawling From the Wreckage' — died in her arms at the couple's home in his native Wales before being revived by medical personnel. Cici explains that as Edmunds slipped away, she 'desperately' tried to keep him alive, 'while trying to clear his airways from all of the fluids that come out of a human being's body when we pass.' She also adds that a nurse was 'pumping away really hard performing heavy CPR' and even told her, 'Dave is gone. He is dead.' Yet Cici refused to give up — relaying that in the moment there was 'no time for emotions' as 'every second' was vital. She credits ICU doctors with performing a 'miracle' by 'resurrecting him for a moment,' but shares that he was 'very clearly' impaired and needed to be 'intubated.' The devoted gal says, 'My brilliant talented funny and special Dave could really use as many peoples prayers and good wishes so to speak.' Cici acknowledges, 'Dave will have a very long journey ahead of him if he survives. We both have,' adding that 'the risk of yet another major cardiac arrest is high. And if that occurs there is no chance for Dave.' She adds, 'I'm still in shock and I believe I have PTSD from the horrific experience.' Edmunds' last album release was 2015's On Guitar … Rags & Classics and he reportedly retired from performing two years later following a pair of shows in Finland with pal Brian Setzer.

Cambridge Dictionary adds 'skibidi' and 'tradwife' among 6,000 new words
LONDON (AP) — What the skibidi is happening to the English language? 'Skibidi' is one of the slang terms popularized by social media that are among more than 6,000 additions this year to the Cambridge Dictionary. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,' said Colin McIntosh, lexical program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, the world's largest online dictionary. 'Skibidi' is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean 'cool' or 'bad' or be used with no real meaning as a joke. Other planned additions including 'tradwife,' a contraction of 'traditional wife' referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media, and 'delulu,' a shortening of the word delusional that means 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to'. An increase in remote working since the pandemic has created the new dictionary entry 'mouse jiggler,' a device or piece of software used to make it seem like you are working when you are not. Concerns over climate change are behind the addition of 'forever chemical,' a harmful chemical that remains in the environment for a long time. Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than 2 billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used, the company said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power,' McIntosh said.

From ‘skibidi' to ‘delulu': Cambridge Dictionary adds viral words with ‘staying power'
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha, including 'skibidi', 'delulu', and 'tradwife', are among 6 000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said Monday. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected 'a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles'. The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had 'different meanings, such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning'. The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called 'Skibidi Toilet' and is associated with the mindless, 'brain rot' content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to'.

'It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary', said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme Manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language, and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary.' Other new phrases include 'lewk', used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and 'inspo', short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to 'mouse jiggler', referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also 'forever chemical', man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and plants.
