NEED TO KNOW

In the area, the Prince of Wales is known as the Duke of Cornwall, a title he inherited when Queen Elizabeth died in Sept. 2022
William helped make a local savory pasty at an organic farm and highlighted community resilience after a devastating storm

Prince Williamis spending the day in Cornwall, where he doesn't go by his Prince of Wales title.

William, 43, visited the county in the south-west tip of England on Thursday, March 5, where he's known as the Duke of Cornwall. He inherited the title when his father,King Charles, acceded to the throne in 2022 upon Queen Elizabeth's death. As head of the Duchy of Cornwall, William receives around $30.9 million a year, which provides an income to cover the official, charitable and private expenses of William,Kate Middletonand their three children.

William's visit to Cornwall was to highlight the resilience of the area in the wake of recent storms and came on a poignant date: St. Piran's Day, the county's holiday, which celebrates the heritage and culture of the Cornish people.

His first stop of the visit was to an organic farm, where local pasties are created in their award-winning bakery. At Gear Farm Pasty Company, close to the site of an Iron Age hill fort, they produce traditional Cornish pasties from home-grown ingredients. Prince William was shown around and met the staff before taking part in the pasty-making.

He was also taken to see the staff who farm the vegetables that go into the locally-created savory pastries.

The area was recently ravaged by storms in early January, cutting off electricity to 50,000 homes while 15,000 homes lost their water supply. Although they experienced water and power shortages at the farm, Prince William learned they got through the crisis by using a newly-installed generator, and the family continued baking and supporting local residents who were without essential services for several days.

Later in the day, Prince William headed to the fire station at Helston, where he thanked firefighters and emergency workers for all they did during Storm Goretti. With winds of up to 123 mph, it was one of the most severe storms to hit the region in recent years.

Prince William took part in a roundtable discussion about the storm response and how the emergency crews supported residents affected by fallen trees and the dangerous conditions.

Since inheriting the Duchy of Cornwall, Prince William has made several stops in the estate, including anovernight trip in May 2024when he visited the site of the Duchy of Cornwall's innovative housing project aimed at addressing homelessness in Newquay.

According to the duchy's secretary, Will Bax,Prince William is "pretty demanding"in the role— in a "great" and "ambitious" way.

"He's easy to follow because he's got great conviction and personality, and he really wears his heart on his sleeve in terms of social interest and his desire to have a positive impact in the world," Bax toldThe Telegraphlast year.

Reportedly, Brooklyn has found the public birthday posts to be "performative," something he had previously voiced his disapproval about.

Brooklyn Beckham hasn't reacted to parents' birthday post, sources suggest

According to insider sources, Brooklyn Beckham did not respond to David and Victoria Beckham's recent birthday posts dedicated to him. Speaking withTMZ, the person stated that the imedia personality still avoids all communication with his parents.

DavidandVictoria Beckhamwished Brooklyn a happy birthday on Wednesday, posting throwback photos of his childhood. The former footballer wrote "Love you x" in the post, calling Brooklyn by his nickname "Bust." Victoria posted the same picture, as well as another of her playing with a young Brooklyn.

"I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared," Brooklyn stated. He also accused his mother, Victoria, of dancing "very inappropriately" with him on his wedding day.

Brooklyn shared that he was so embarrassed by the incident that he and his wife, Nicola Peltz, wanted to recreate their special day. He stated, "We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment."

Liam Neeson's son Daniel Neeson underwent surgery for heart condition

Liam Neeson's sonDaniel Neesonrevealed that he underwent surgery to treat a congenital heart defect he has lived with his whole life.

Daniel Neeson and Liam Neeson at the 2024 Irish Arts Center Gala at Pier 60 on Nov. 15, 2024, in New York City.

In aMarch 3 Instagram post, the "Naked Gun" actor's son said he was born with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with only two leaflets instead of the normalthree, which can cause valve failure or enlargement of the aorta. Only about 1 to 2 percent of the human population has it, and it is twice as common in males, according to theCleveland Clinic.

Throughout his life, the 29-year-old has been seeing doctors twice a year for cardiology checkups to monitor his heart, but eventually experienced severe left ventricle dilation and aortic enlargement, he said. While he was hoping not to undergo surgery until later in his life, Daniel said he "drew the early-bird straw."

"Nothing is more empowering than understanding your health, staying on top of your game, and planning ahead. Health is about being proactive, not reactive," he wrote in the post's caption.

"There's something surreal about realizing that one of your biggest challenges was quietly developing inside you your entire life," he continued. "No dramatic warning. Just science, genetics, and timing."

Daniel Neeson encourages others to 'advocate for yourself'

While he prides himself on overcoming his own challenges and controlling his environment, Daniel said he had to accept that it wasn't possible with his treatment. He learned to place his faith in the surgeons, nurses and entire ICU team looking after him.

"Trusting that even if I couldn't control the outcome, I could control my mindset and my deeper consciousness," he said. "Overcoming this wasn't about being fearless. It was about leaning into the healing energy and being as present as possible. I looked at this operation as a ceremony, not a procedure."

Daniel encouraged others with health conditions to always "advocate for yourself and listen to your body. Everyone should have their hearts checked by a cardiologist, even if they don't have any known defects."

"Most importantly, surrender to the present moment. Don't live in fear. The universe has your back when you learn to dance with it," he said.

He also thanked his fiancée, Natalie Ackerman, whom he proposed to in September 2025 after eight years together, according toPeople.

Daniel is one of the two sons that the "Taken" actor has. His older brother is 30-year-old Micheál Neeson, 30, whose acting credits include Liam Neeson movies "Cold Pursuit" and "Made in Italy."

The internet witnessed a fast-food chain reaction afterMcDonald'striggered aburger battleonline.

A video ofMcDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinskichomping down on a burger went viral online, prompting competitors likeWendy's, Burger King,andA&Wto join the fast-food tasting trend.

And since social media is always hungry for jokes, netizens wasted no time in piling on the shade.

Fast food giants like Wendy's, Burger King, and A&W have spoken after McDonald's unwittingly triggered a burger battle

It all started with McDonald's pushing their CEO Chris Kempczinski in front of the camera to taste-test their Big Arch burger.

"I love this product. It is so good. I'm going to do a tasting right now, but I'm going to eat this for my lunch, just so you know," he said in the video.

After the video went viral, Kempczinski got theinternet's full meme treatment, as many viewers felt he seemed awkward and fake.

Some also found Kempczinski's review less than convincing because he referred to the burger as a "product."

Fellow burger giants refused to watch from the sidelines as the McDonald's video made the rounds.

Burger King was among thefirst rivals to jump on the trend, with the chain's president, Tom Curtis, tasting the new and improved Whopper.

The global chain said they had filmed the video in February to talk about their elevated Whopper.

Curtis was captured directly taking feedback from a customer before hitting the kitchen to watch thesignature burger being made.

The Burger King president then took a big bite of the burger and said, "Only one thing missing. A napkin."

"Now THAT'S a man bite," a social media user commented on the video. "Take notes McDonald's."

Alsojoining the burger warswas Wendy's president Pete Suerken, who was captured sinking his teeth into the brand's iconic Baconator.

"Lots of chatter this week about burgers," the brand wrote alongside the March 4 video.

"Thought we'd remind everyone what fresh, never frozen tastes like. Our U.S. President Pete Suerken knows a burger that's worth a second bite," the caption went on to say.

"What's your favorite way to eat a Wendy's hamburger?"

Suerken was seen walking around a Wendy's kitchen and making theirBaconator from scratch.

Repeating the brand's famous expression, he said, "fresh, never frozen," as he flipped the patties on the grill.

"Now THAT'S a man bite. Take notes McDonald's," one netizen commented on the rival videos

Suerken then went over to the ice cream machine to get himself a Frosty and said, "Is this set up today? Oh wait, our machines are always working."

The remark seemed to be a dig at McDonald's, whose broken machines often leave customers disappointed when they ask for ice cream.

Suerken then sat down in front of a tray with his fries, drink, and a chocolate Frosty.

"I've been waiting for this all day," he said while unwrapping the Baconator in his hands.

"Wendy's fresh, never-frozen beef, our Applewood smoked bacon, our brand-new bun, our square burger cooked on a flat grill," he said. "Amazing. Absolutely wonderful."

A&W joined the chat with a direct parody of Chris Kempczinski's taste-testing video

Meanwhile, A&Wthrew shade at McDonald'swith a more direct parody of Chris Kempczinski's video.

Starring in the spoof was actor Allen Lulu, who has been the face of the Canadian burger-maker for years.

Lulu was filmed tasting the Teen Burger and seemingly mocking Kempczinski's review of the Big Arch.

"We love this product, which most people call a burger. I don't even know how to attack it," he said in the tongue-in-cheek video.

"It has a unique bread that some would call a bun," he sarcastically said. He went on to describe "the lettuce, which is green, and the pickles, which make it taste pickle-y."

"And the teen sauce. The iconic teen sauce," he added.

Lulu wrapped up the video with a friendly invite to Kempczinski to join him for lunch.

"Just you, me, and a couple of Teen Burgers," he said. "See you at lunch, Chris. See you at A&W."
