"We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe."

I thought I could get through today without crying, but the ache of missing you hit all over again.
"Grief isn't getting easier, it's getting lonelier. I miss you so much. Why aren't you here? Every first without you hurts [so much]."
Her initial heartfelt tribute had read: "Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don't know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love. and I loved you so much.
"You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will. Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever.
"I'll cherish all our moments together. every laugh and hug. I wish I could hug you again. I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours. I would give anything for one more deep talk. I'm going to miss you so much. more than any words can say. 222 my angel."

This is your last weekend to get brunch at this soon-to-close 52-year-old West Village favorite
If you've been meaning to finally try Elephant & Castle's famous eggs Benedict—or just want one more go at their goat-cheese-and-arugula pasta—you've got until Sunday. Yes, after 52 years at 68 Greenwich Avenue, the beloved West Village café will serve its last brunch service on August 17, closing for good after more than five decades of omelets, burgers and low-key celebrity sightings. Opened in 1973 by Dr. George Schwarz, a St. Vincent's Hospital radiation oncologist turned restaurateur, Elephant & Castle quickly became a neighborhood institution. Schwarz named it after a London traffic circle (and the pub that once stood there), then filled the menu with a then-novel blend of New American comfort dishes and brunch before brunch was even a thing. The place became a magnet for locals, Parsons students and downtown creative types—plus famous fans like Isaac Mizrahi, Mo Rocca, Victor Garber and Julianne Moore. The vibe? Think dark wood-paneled walls dotted with ceramic elephants, jazz playing at a civilized volume and staff who've known the regulars for decades. Chef Gary Kuschnereit has been in the kitchen since 1988; longtime manager Bonnie Jenkins started in '88 as well. Together they've kept the menu largely intact, ranging from French-style omelets and hearty sandwiches to Scarlett O'Hara's Coffee Cantata for dessert, even as dining trends came and went outside. But even with its fiercely loyal following, Elephant & Castle hasn't been able to withstand rising costs and shrinking crowds. St. Vincent's closing in 2010 dealt a blow to the steady stream of neighborhood diners and the pandemic years made recovery nearly impossible. 'It could not sustain itself financially,' Jenkins told Eater, adding that the decision to close was heartbreaking but inevitable. Regulars aren't taking the news lightly. Social media has been flooded with memories, tributes and desperate pleas for a white knight to swoop in. Some have floated a GoFundMe; restaurateurs Keith McNally and Danny Meyer have reportedly been approached to take over. So far, no savior has emerged. So if you want to sip one last perfect cup of coffee (the late Mimi Sheraton once called it the city's best) or tuck into that Gold'n Green omelet, clear your weekend. Elephant & Castle's final service is this Sunday and after that, the elephants go dark.

Princess Anne will find it 'hard to forgive' Prince Harry's rift with Royals
Princess Anne is celebrating her 75th birthday today, and as the Royal Family's hardest-working member, she is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon She is frequently considered the Royal Family's most industrious member with a direct, practical approach to her wide-ranging responsibilities. And as Princess Anne marks her milestone 75th birthday, it is precisely this understated manner that she is adopting for the occasion. There will be no grand public celebration, and no television appearance - indeed, the sole way her birthday is being acknowledged is through a new commemorative coin from the Royal Mint, which marks the first time Anne's likeness has ever featured. Last year, the Princess Royal carried out 474 engagements across the nation, as well as internationally, maintaining her status as the 'most dedicated' working Royal. The figure would have been considerably higher had she not been compelled to pause her duties last June following hospitalisation after sustaining a severe head injury in what is believed to have been a horse-related accident at her Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, reports the Mirror. And according to royal commentator Jennie Bond, it is precisely her straightforward character that propels her relentless schedule. She exclusively revealed: "She has always been a no-fuss woman. Her manner is crisp, clean and efficient. That's how she regularly gets four or five jobs done a day - often in different parts of the country. "There have been times when I think she has felt underappreciated. She once berated me for mentioning that Diana had been a champion of AIDS sufferers - I had been with the Princess Royal on a visit to an AIDS project in Uganda. Diana had recently died, and the charity asked me to tell Anne that they needed a new champion. The request did not go down well. "But in recent years, I think her immense contribution to supporting her brother and the monarchy has been fully recognised. She is incredibly hard working and shows no sign of slowing down." Anne was born on August 15, 1950, at Clarence House, just under two years before her mother's life transformed forever when she became Queen. At the time she arrived, she was third in the line of succession after her elder brother, now King Charles. Their shared experiences during childhood, as the late Queen and Prince Philip frequently embarked on lengthy foreign tours, enabled them to forge an unbreakable connection that remains evident today in her steadfast support of her elder sibling's Royal duties. Indeed, during his Coronation ceremony, he bestowed upon her the coveted role of "Gold-Stick-in-Waiting" as recognition for her loyal dedication. This historic position is traditionally given to someone trusted with protecting the monarch personally, with the King clearly considering his younger sister, who fondly calls him 'Old Bean', the ideal candidate. The late Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's influence on their daughter, particularly in her illustrious equestrian career, cannot be underestimated, according to royal expert Jennie. Princess Anne made history as the first member of the Royal Family to compete in the Olympics, representing Britain's Equestrian team in Montreal in 1976. Jennie explained: "There is a lot of her father in Anne: brusque, to the point and no fan of the media. Like him, she doesn't like to talk about herself- she just gets the job done. "As the late Queen's only daughter, she had a very special bond with Elizabeth. They shared a passion for horses, and the Queen was very proud of Anne's equestrian achievements." However, it's not just her royal duties and supporting her brother that keeps Anne occupied - her family life is also bustling. The princess resides near both of her children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, from her first marriage, along with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. When Peter and Zara were born, Anne made the unconventional decision at the time that they would not receive any royal titles - and would be expected to carve out their own careers. This decision seems to have been fruitful, with both siblings agreeing it was the best choice for them as they lead independent lives, with Zara following in her mother's footsteps as an Olympian Equestrian. Mum-of-three Zara is well-known for her marriage to former England rugby player Mike Tindall, with whom she has three children: Mia, Lena and Lucas. Peter Phillipshas two daughters - Savannah and Isla - from his previous marriage to ex wife Autumn. Both Peter and Zara have spoken about their mother's hands-on approach to grand-parenting, while Mike revealed Princess Anne's cheeky sense of humour during his stint on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here. Jennie chimed in, saying: "I think she has the love and admiration of her children, Peter and Zara. They are particularly grateful to her for having the foresight to decide against giving them titles. "They value the freedom and independence that this status (or lack of) has given them. And she is evidently quite a fun grandmother to have around - especially when it comes to teaching the children to ride. "Anne's sense of humour is dry - like her mother's - but she's no prude. She had a great comeback when her son-in-law, Mike Tindall, split his trousers dancing, revealing his underpants with the memorable logo 'Nibble my Nuts'. 'I'd rather not!' the princess quipped." So, with her own immediate family life settled, it's been debated by royal watchers whether Anne should lend her support to her brother Charles' tricky situation regarding youngest son Prince Harry Harry disclosed earlier this year he no longer speaks to his father, the King, whilst his bond with elder brother Prince William is also reportedly virtually non-existent. His grievances with his family were exposed in his autobiography, Spare, a reference to being a second-born child, like his aunt. A source close to Anne allegedly revealed how if Harry had approached his aunt, she could have shared her precious experience of her position. And Jennie agrees it would have been an ideal notion. She said: "Anne would have been the perfect person to offer advice and guidance - but, sadly, this is no longer relevant as Harry has made it quite clear that he has no desire to return to life as a working royal. "She could have told her nephew that 'playing second fiddle' is the wrong way to look at his status. Instead, as she has shown, the second-born can be an invaluable support to the institution of monarchy, and a vital friend, confidant and wingman/woman to the monarch. "She could have explained that they are a team, a firm, working together to keep the monarchy relevant and using their platform to help charities and communities. "It may be that the King has discussed his family troubles with Anne, but I rather doubt that she would want to get involved. To Anne, loyalty is paramount, and I suspect she feels that Harry has been extremely disloyal to his father, his brother and the monarchy. She might well find that hard to forgive." However, as Anne contemplates what lies ahead, she's reportedly already considering what the future holds beyond her forthcoming birthday. During a conversation earlier this year whilst visiting South Africa, she was questioned about stepping back from duties given the reduced number of working royals and confessed it "isn't really an option". Sources have recently revealed there are no indications of her decelerating in the near term. Indeed, insiders suggest she's determined to continue her duties until she reaches at least 80, before gradually reducing her commitments and potentially retiring completely around 90 - mirroring her father Philip's approach. Whilst carrying on with her work appears certain, one aspect Jennie believes will almost certainly never occur is Anne embracing social media. The princess has garnered a devoted following of online admirers, particularly on TikTok, thanks to her earlier years when she led a rather eventful romantic life, survived an attempted kidnapping - and donned the most stylish 1960s and 1970s fashion. Even today, some of her garments from four to five decades past remain in her wardrobe, occasionally making appearances at official engagements. Despite her newfound fanbase, Jennie concluded: "I think she'd be amused and bemused by the comments on TikTok, but I don't imagine that she'd really give them a second thought. I don't think social media is her scene at all." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Historically, this position is given to a person entrusted with the personal safety of the sovereign, with the King clearly believing his younger sister, who affectionately refers to him as 'Old Bean', was the perfect choice.
