Queen Elizabeth II: Health Concerns Arise After Monarch Misses Royal Engagement

Last month, Queen Elizabeth II postponed her annual holiday train voyage to Sandringham Hall due to illness.

The Queen and Prince Philip made the trip by helicopter 24 hours later, and the delay was downplayed by royal sources who claimed that the monarch was simply waylaid by a bad cold.

But now it seems the Queen’s illness may be more serious than we’ve been led to believe.

The 90-year-old was scheduled to participate in her final royal engagement of the holiday season on Sunday – a church service at Sandringham – but she wasn’t feeling well enough to attend.

“Her Majesty The Queen will not attend Sunday worship at Sandringham today,” a statement from Buckingham Palace released yesterday read.

“The Queen does not yet feel ready to attend church as she is still recuperating from a heavy cold.”

A Palace spokesperson later went into slightly greater detail in response to a query from People magazine:

“Her Majesty The Queen will not attend Church at Sandringham this morning,” the statement read.

“The Queen continues to recover from a heavy cold and will stay indoors to assist with her recovery. Her Majesty will participate in the Royal Family Christmas celebrations during the day.”

The Queen has not made an official public appearance since December 9, when she hosted the ambassador of Liberia.

While Palace officials continue to insist there’s no cause for concern, at 90 there’s no such thing as a minor health problem.

Anyone who’s looked at last year’s list of royal engagements knows that the Queen keeps an incredibly busy schedule and very rarely cancels appearances.

Perhaps that hectic lifestyle has simply caught up to her.

Or perhaps there’s reason to be worried about the world’s longest-reigning autocrat.

Just last week, the Queen was the subject of a viral death hoax on Twitter, which prompted thousands of re-tweets and one harried denial from the Palace.

Sources close to the royal family say 95-year-old Prince Philip has also taken ill.

We will have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Khloe Kardashian: Get The Love You Deserve In 2017!

Khloe Kardashian will probably be ecstatic at the prospect of putting 2016 behind her. It was probably one of the worst years of her life. 

Her relationship with Tristan Thompson was probably one of the only bright spots of that year.

Wait… we can probably also throw her finalizing her divorce to Lamar Odom into one of the highlights. 

Ever since Khloe and Tristan have been a thing, it’s been clear the pair are totally in love. They’ve been very vocal about it over social media. 

People have even been speculating that Khloe has a little Kardashian bun in her oven, but we still have no idea whether that’s a fact, or some more Kardashian family fiction. 

Khloe took to Instagram to ring in the new year with a cute picture of Tristan kissing the side of her head, accompanied with a very hopeful caption.

“Happy New Year!!! May you always be surrounded by the love you are deserving of! May Gods blessings continue to rain on us all!”

There’s no denying that the picture was very cute, and it solidified the fact that the pair are really in love. 

With 2016 in the can, Khloe has a new reality show to look forward to. She will be the key attraction on Revenge Body, a new series that will help lucky individuals shut the haters up. 

Basically, viewers will apply for the opportunity to go on the show and have Khloe Kardashian help them get the body they so desperately desire. 

It’s hardly an original concept for a TV show, but Khloe has went through some transformations herself, so she’s probably one of the best people in the industry for the job. 

It remains to be seen if any of her family members will show up to try and plug the ratings. 

What do you think about all of this? 

Sound off below!

Florida Mall Brawl: Store Manager WRECKS Unruly Shopper!

An outright brawl broke out between the manager of a Steve Madden store and a Swiss shopper inside a mall in Sunrise, Fla., on Wednesday.

Amazingly, and yet not surprisingly, it was caught on video.

The drama started when the employee at Sawgrass Mills Mall told the would-be customer the store was closed at 5:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

A tad early for businesses who want to make money?

Clearly, but that"s beside the point. The hours are what they are, which most people would begrudgingly accept and move on with their lives.

This woman is not most people, quite clearly.

At first, a male staff member blocked the blonde tourist from various attempts to enter the store, which she was oddly determined to do.

Repeatedly, he told the disgruntled woman no, she couldn"t shop there today, and to back away from the door that was closed for the day.

Local radio DJ Andy Slater captured the chaos that followed on his phone, as she refused to take no for an answer and all hell broke loose.

When the Steve Madden store’s manager came over to settle the altercation, she was promptly greeted with some bottled water to the face.

As onlookers gasped, the manager responded with a shot to the woman’s face, shortly followed by another punch as she backed away.

After the skirmish, the Steve Madden employees barricaded themselves inside the store and locked the door, finally securing the premises.

Police arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.

Sunrise Police officials say they “interviewed both parties,” and despite the crazy scene, “no one was injured or taken to the hospital.”

Moreover, “No one was arrested or charged.”

The pissed-off woman in the video threatened to sue, because obviously she would threaten that, but no lawsuit has been filed. Yet.
