A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's move to end protected status for Afghan migrants, Breitbart reported. The Biden era policy gave thousands of migrants from Afghanistan de facto amnesty.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a statement about the decision. "Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—TEMPORARY. Granted for 18 months under extraordinary circumstances," the official account posted to X, formerly Twitter.

"It was never meant to last a quarter of a century. For many of these countries, TPS was granted in the 90's after natural disasters. Now that conditions have improved, it is time to return home. President Trump and Secretary Noem are restoring integrity to our immigration system and ensuring that TPS remains TEMPORARY," the post Tuesday said.

Problematic program

Then-President Joe Biden resettled Afghan migrants in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. As part of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, his U.S. Department of Homeland Security sought to end TPS for thousands of migrants after then-President Biden resettled them into the U.S.

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit put a stay on the administration's plan to end the loophole for some 75,000 people from Afghanistan resettled under Biden. As DHS said, this was supposed to be a temporary measure set to expire on July 12.

However, the appeals court has put the brakes on any abolishment for now after the pro-immigration organization CASA, Inc. filed a lawsuit. Unfortunately, this comes amid reports of fraud in the program that could expose Americans to danger.

Even before TPS was an official policy, it was known that Afghans resettled in the U.S. had problematic ties. Unfortunately, of the 31 who were designated with "derogatory information," only three could be located within the U.S. in 2021.

That same year, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) requested information about Afghans on the "No Fly List" who tried to enter the U.S. However, the Biden administration was cagey about the data and refused to report the exact count of such immigrants.

Persistent issue

Even after TPS for Afghans was formalized in 2022, the issues persisted. In February 2022, the Department of Defense found that the Afghans imported under Biden's plan were not sufficiently vetted before being settled in communities throughout the U.S.

That early report found that 50 Afghans with "significant security concerns" were allowed into the U.S. through the resettlement program without much scrutiny. In February 2022, an Inspector General's report called out the Biden administration for its lack of vetting and warned it would "pose a national security risk."

A former Department of Defense official disclosed in 2023 that some of the Afghans given access to the U.S. had been involved in placing improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan. These roadside bombs were used to kill American service members in Afghanistan.

Just last year, a 27-year-old Afghan who was brought to the U.S. as part of Biden's plan was allegedly planning a terrorist attack on Election Day. He was arrested in Oklahoma before he could carry out his diabolical agenda.

Unfortunately, Biden and his cronies in the court system are perfectly willing to risk American lives to continue with the open borders policies that got us here. Trump has been blindsided by the court's reluctance to allow him to protect the U.S. by keeping unvetted people out, but his administration will not stop fighting it.

Reports from the chairmen of the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees have found that Secret Service failures led to the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, the New York Post reported. The lawmakers are examining what led up to the shooting at a Butler, PA, rally last year.

Trump was blindsided by the bullet that grazed his ear, narrowly missing a kill shot to the head, during a campaign rally on July 13, 2024. From the moment it occurred, it was clear that the Secret Service was not doing its job that day to protect the then-candidate.

Now Congress is investigating, and so far Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rand Paul (R-KY) believe there was "inexcusable negligence" leading to a "cascade of preventable failures" that almost cost Trump his life. One user on X, formerly Twitter, rightly called this "the biggest security scandal since JFK" was assassinated.

Numerous inadequacies

There were numerous inadequacies in security planning and execution that day, which nearly proved fatal for Trump. Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to get nearly the perfect kill shot because of them, and the failures largely fall to the Secret Service.

In fact, Crooks was able to fly a drone around the Butler Farm Show Grounds to find the perfect spot to position himself because anti-drone technology was down and being repaired by someone not trained to do so. His drone went "undetected" as it circled "the event site hours before the rally" so he could find his perfect unobstructed position.

He was also stopped at the entrance to the fairgrounds because he had a rangefinder device, commonly used for measuring shooting distance. Crooks was identified as a suspicious person "at least 25 minutes" before taking his shot, but it's unclear why that didn't hinder his movements around the venue.

Perhaps it was because communications equipment failures and spotty cell phone service at the rural location hindered information exchange between local and federal officials on site. The Secret Service had at least 10 days' notice that there was a threat made to Trump's life ahead of that day, but did not disseminate the information.

"[T]he Secret Service had no process to share classified threat information with partners when the information was not considered an imminent threat to life," Grassley's report said. The threat reportedly came from Iran, but no additional protection measures were taken.

Demanding accountability

At the time of the shooting, Trump was not only the GOP presidential nominee, but he was also a former president. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, along with the Secret Service, now agree that his status should have afforded him additional protections.

As Paul's report noted, there were "at least" 10 requests to the Secret Service for additional protection that were either ignored or denied. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned over the incident, claimed that it was untrue despite the evidence to the contrary. Lawmakers are demanding some accountability for these failures.

"What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, was not just a tragedy—it was a scandal. The United States Secret Service failed to act on credible intelligence, failed to coordinate with local law enforcement, and failed to prevent an attack that nearly took the life of a then-former president," Paul said.

Likewise, Grassley said he was releasing his report to provide "a clear path forward for the Secret Service to improve, so it can prevent another Butler from ever happening again." It remains to be seen whether they will be held accountable for this incident that could have altered the trajectory of American history forever.

What happened that day in Butler was a massive failure that could have killed Trump and incited civil unrest. Several failures put Trump squarely in the crosshairs of an assassin's gun that would have cost him his life had God not miraculously spared his life.

A TikTok user identified as @skitheteamroski claimed that he was fired from working at Alligator Alcatraz after he posted video footage from the pop-up immigrant detention center on social media and alleged that detainees were being held in "deplorable conditions."

The first video showed the employee laying on a bunkbed and was captioned "LIVE FROM ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ...TUNE IN FOR THE ONLY AVAILABLE LIVE FOOTAGE FROM THE 'CONCENTRATION CAMP' THAT TRUMP BUILT."

Subsequent videos depicted the man and coworkers rescuing a turtle at the site, driving a golf cart through the facility, and looking at a food item ostensibly served to detainees.

"Doesn't look very appetizing, does it?" he asked his coworkers. The videos did not reveal what position the man held at the facility.

Hiring a lawyer

He also started a GoFundMe to raise money to hire a lawyer after he was fired.

"Many people want me to share my side of the story of what's actually going on inside, but I can't fully explain and show what I know without having a lawyer just in case this situation gets pushed to the next level," the man, idenitifed as a Jacksonville resident, wrote.

He said he would like to get the facility shut down.

There have been other reports of poor conditions--giant mosquitoes, a lack of running water, and being fed only one maggot-infested meal a day--from lawmakers and relatives of detainees.

Most of those reports are coming from people who want desperately to stop Trump's efforts to rein in and reform the country's broken immigration system, however.

The rebuttal

FEMA officials have rebutted the claims and said that detainees are being treated humanely.

"Detainees have access to potable water from on-site tanks refilled by 6,000-gallon trucks. Each individual is issued a personal cup they can refill at any time, and bottled water is provided at meals. Tanks are regularly sanitized, flushed, and tested to ensure water quality. Full-size showers are available daily with no restriction on bathing water," the Division of Emergency Management told Daily Mail.

"Detainees receive three meals per day plus the option of a late evening meal upon request, and there is working air conditioning throughout the facility," the statement continued.

"Detainees have access to regular phone and video calls with their attorneys or families."

The statement was consistent with one by the Department of Homeland Security, which asserted, "All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with lawyers and their family members."

The far-left leanings of teachers' unions and school administrators across the country have become startlingly apparent in recent years, a fact that has once again been brought into stark relief by recent events in the nation’s heartland.

As Breitbart reports, a school board chairman in Kentucky has just resigned from his post after a Facebook post he made back in 2018 calling for others to “shoot Republicans” resurfaced and caused backlash in his community.

Controversial media posts emerge

At issue were online comments made by Jeffrey Miller, the now-former head of the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District, as the Daily Mail explains.

Miller had reportedly served as chair of the school board since 2016, and the incendiary comments at issue were made in 2018 when he was reacting to a mass shooting event in Florida that left multiple people dead.

In response to the tragedy, he wrote, “I’d be okay with the NRA if these psychos were just once the victims of a mass shooting.”

Miller went on, apparently assigning blame for what occurred by suggesting, “WINK WINK: please shoot republicans.”

The now-former public official was also found to have authored a social media post that said, “Hmmm. Weird. F**k the police.”

Community demands action

Republican State Rep. Steven Doan confirmed that Miller was formally relieved of his position at a Thursday board meeting, a move attributed to the community’s reaction to his online posts.

Doan indicated that he began to receive public feedback from constituents earlier this year when the unsettling posts came to light, with some declaring their sense of extreme unease that someone with his views might retain a position of authority in the district.

“Initially, I struggled to grasp the gravity of their fears, but I listened closely and uncovered a shocking reality,” Doan said, referencing “allegations of corruption, incitements to violence, criminal conduct, and pervasive hostility.”

He continued, “These have no place in our schools or community. Political violence and criminal behavior are unacceptable, and we must model better conduct for our children.”

The state lawmaker penned an op-ed in June demanding Miller’s resignation, which eventually followed.

What comes next?

In the wake of Miller’s departure, the Erlanger-Elsmere board has a vacancy, with applications for the opening due from interested parties by Aug. 8, with the spot slated to be formally filled by Sept. 8.

In Doan’s estimation, “We need to find someone who’s willing to serve this district, stand up for the students, and stand up for the parents,” though considering the sharp leftward turn observed in countless school districts across the nation of late, that may be far more of a challenge than it should be.

Another one of former President Joe Biden's top aides testified Friday in front of the House Oversight Committee about the apparent cover-up of his mental decline while in office, the New York Post reported. Ashley Williams, deputy director of Oval Office operations under Biden, is the third person in his close orbit to do so. 

House Republicans are demanding answers about Biden's waning days in his administration, when he was granting pardons and issuing executive orders. They were signed mainly by an autopen, which calls into question their validity in light of his slipping condition.

Williams was questioned in a closed-door session that lasted nearly six hours about what she knew. Before the session, she was stripped of executive privilege, which compelled her to provide "unrestricted testimony" about Biden's mental acuity.

Afterwards, the former aide declined to give remarks to the press about what was said. "She’s cooperating, otherwise we would’ve been done," Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said of Williams' testimony.

Mounting Evidence

The fact that Biden was in cognitive decline was obvious to anyone observing him during his presidency. However, it seems the people closest to him did what they could to obscure that fact the entire time.

Now that the dust has settled and Biden and the Democrats lost the 2024 election, the truth is coming to light. Sometimes, it comes in the form of what the people around him are not willing to say.

Earlier this week, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who was the White House physician under Biden, asserted his Fifth Amendment right when answering the committee's questions. The message of this move to prevent self-incrimination is that perhaps there was something he knew about the president at the time, but wasn't saying.

Of course, O'Connor had much that could fall under doctor-patient privacy. Instead, these inquiries from Comer included questions such as "Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?" and "Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?"

All that O'Connor would offer to the committee was his name and a prepared statement. "I am not a lawyer, and I must follow my lawyer’s advice in this matter," O'Connor told the lawmakers.

Cover-up?

The attorney who advised O'Connor was none other than David Schertler, who advised former National Institutes of Health head Dr. Anthony Fauci when he was being grilled about the origins of COVID-19 by a congressional committee. Comer thinks this is more than a coincidence.

"This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up. It’s clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business associate, refused to answer any questions and chose to hide behind the Fifth Amendment," Comer said following O'Connor's testimony.

As for other witnesses, former Biden aide Neera Tanden appeared before the committee on June 24. After a five-hour interview with the Oversight Committee without executive privilege to hide behind, Tanden still maintained there was "absolutely not" a conspiracy to cover up Biden's mental decline.

It remains to be seen as other witnesses will come before the Oversight Committee next week. On Wednesday, the committee will hear from Anthony Bernal, a top aide for then-first lady Jill Biden, whom she referred to as her "work husband," who will have to testify or plead the fifth because he was deposed.

The issue isn't so much that Biden was incapacitated as it is that people around him were potentially willing to cover it up. Something this important and extensive is almost impossible to keep quiet, and it looks like the lid may soon be blown off after all.

Former President Joe Biden's aides were still running interference for him after the election and reportedly changed his phone number so journalists could not get hold of him, Axios reported. This and other secrets have come spilling out of a new book 2024.

The book, released Tuesday, was written by political journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. It includes details about the aftermath of the presidential election based on more than 350 interviews.

It includes a telling anecdote about the cover-up of Biden's mental decline. It also touches on then-Vice President Kamala Harris' call to incoming President Donald Trump after she lost.

What's now finally coming to light was obvious to all of those watching Biden in real time. However, it's clear that the people around Biden were shielding him from the press even as the media were complicit in keeping his cognitive struggles under wraps.

Protecting Biden

The book recounts a time after the election when Biden took a call from a Pager on his cell phone on March 25. While Trump often did this, it was unusual for Biden to pick up a cold call from a journalist.

"Biden said he would be willing to speak for this book the next day. The next morning, he answered and said he was running late to catch a train. He said he had a 'very negative' view of Trump's second term ... 'I don't see anything he's done that's been productive,' he said," the journalists wrote.

"Asked if he had any regrets about dropping out of the presidential race, he said, 'No, not now. I don't spend a lot of time on regrets.' He quickly hung up to get on the train," the book went on.

"After the first call," aides for Biden "repeatedly called and texted [Pager]. After the brief second call, his aides blocked the reporter's calls to the former president," the book contends.

"Two days later, a message from Verizon Wireless replaced Biden's voicemail: 'The number you dialed has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service,'" the authors allege. Even after he was no longer the president, the people around Biden shut down a conversation to help him save face.

Other Revelations

Biden's aides panicked and were forced to muzzle the former president so as not to let him embarrass himself, even after he was already long out of the White House. However, there were plenty of other things to be embarrassed about among the staffers.

For instance, aides for Harris couldn't figure out how to merge the concession call between Harris and Trump and eventually "ended up holding two phones together on speaker so that the rivals could talk," the authors asserted. "Phone service isn't what it used to be," Trump joked.

Meanwhile, staffers were impressed with the contrast between Harris and Trump, whom they admitted was a class act who "acknowledged she'd given him a run for his money" even if he wouldn't "compliment her campaign," the authors said. The newly elected president also "complimented" Harris' husband, Douglas Emhoff, in that concession call.

"Even her aides described him as gracious. Harris was professional but not warm. She had considered alluding to his failure to concede when things turned out the other way, but in the end, she just said the country was too divided, and she hoped he would be a president for all Americans," the authors said.

Biden had his aides, the media, and everyone else in his orbit running cover for him even after the election. Now that the truth is coming out, it's appalling to see what lengths they went to to cover for him and how inept the people in charge really were.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that the Department of Transportation has eliminated environmental justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations when awarding grants, Breitbart reported. President Donald Trump had promised to reverse these policies set by then-President Joe Biden.

The "Green New Scam" and DEI have meant that projects and grants are awarded based on factors other than merit. Duffy announced Wednesday that his agency was bringing that to an end after being stuck with 3,200 grants hung up on these issues.

"It’s a new day in America, where common sense is in the driver’s seat. Our roads, rails, skies, and waters will be safer for it," Duffy promised in a statement.

"The public wants to see their hard-earned dollars going towards safety and efficiency standards – not woke DEI or American Energy-killing ideas," he added. Democrats are seething as Trump and his administration dismantle Biden's woke policies.

On Notice

Duffy put current applicants on notice in a letter on July 2. The secretary said it was Trump's executive orders that "direct Federal agencies" to "identify and eliminate" funding agreements or policies connected "in any way to climate change, ‘greenhouse gas’ emissions, racial equity, gender identity, ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ goals, environmental justice."

The DOT will also eliminate any preference based on Biden's Justice 40 initiative, which prioritized environmental criteria. These policies were in effect "between noon on January 20, 2021, and noon on January 20, 2025" when Trump signed the executive orders.

Now Duffy said the agency "will no longer enforce these policies, or any other requirements incorporated into its Federal financial assistance agreements that are inconsistent with the policy objectives of this Administration and current DOT leadership." Duffy posted the letter to X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday.

"Progress on American infrastructure will not be paralyzed by the leftist mandates of the last administration," Duffy captioned it. We’ve already cleared roughly HALF of the 3,200 projects left over from the previous administration that were announced but never received funding. We’re just getting started," he wrote.

Democrats Hate It

Rather than seeing DEI as discrimination codified by law, Democrats believed hiring on the basis of someone's race was a good and necessary thing. In contrast, Trump promised to dismantle DEI during the campaign, which the left tried to insinuate was due to his racism.

Still, Trump signed several executive orders to make it happen anway, as reported by USA Today earlier this year. "We have ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and, indeed, the private sector and our military," Trump said at the time.

"And our country will be woke no longer." Of course, Democrats hated this and insisted that what Trump was doing was not only bad for the country, but also for the companies no longer forced to hire based on applicants' most superficial traits.

"Talk to any CEO of a major Fortune 500 company. They’ll tell you that their bottom line, dollar-wise, does better when there’s more diversity in the room," Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey puzzlingly claimed.

Giving preferential treatment based on someone's race, sexual preferences, or other characteristics is not only unfair, but also complete madness. Trump is restoring the country to sanity, and that includes Duffy's announcement to remove such criteria from funding decisions.

Four suspects are facing felony charges in connection with an alleged attempt to sabotage a Border Patrol operation in Los Angeles, the Washington Examiner reported. They are accused of using "improvised devices" to damage agency vehicles and impede their operations.

The alleged perpetrators were apprehended Wednesday in the Van Nuys section of the city. U.S. Border Patrol El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino shared a photo of the devices that appeared to be rubber hoses set with nails as spikes to puncture tires.

"Just moments ago in Van Nuys during federal immigration law enforcement operations, 3 subjects attempted to impede & obstruct our efforts, using improvised devices aimed at disabling our vehicles. All three were arrested & now face felony charges," Bovino wrote, later adding that a fourth was taken into custody.

Pursuing justice

According to Fox News, the attack occurred on Tuesday as federal agents were attempting to carry out President Donald Trump's illegal immigration crackdown. Illegal immigration advocates have been working against agents to thwart these efforts.

A spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security assured that this would not hinder agents from carrying out future missions. "DHS and its components continue to enforce the law every day in greater Los Angeles, even in the face of danger," the spokesperson said to Fox News Digital in a statement.

The spokesperson went on to describe the incident. "During the operation, four U.S. citizens placed improvised tire deflation devices on the road and punctured a Border Patrol vehicle’s tire. Agents were able to identify the suspects and placed them under arrest for obstructing law enforcement," the DHS said.

"During the arrest, one individual assaulted a Border Patrol agent and was subsequently arrested for assaulting federal law enforcement. Our officers are facing a surge in assaults and attacks against them as they put their lives on the line to enforce our nation's laws," the statement went on.

"Secretary Noem has been clear: If you obstruct or assault our law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," it added. The persons arrested for the improvised device attack included Jude Jasmine Jeannine Allar, 28; Jenaro-Ernesto Ayala, 43; Daniel Montenegro, 30; and Sadot Jarnica, 54.

Agents attacked

This is not the first time Border Patrol agents have faced attacks while carrying out their mission. According to the DHS, there has been a 700% increase in violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agents involved since Trump reentered the White House.

The worst attack to date came on July 4 as an immigration detention facility was attacked by what the New York Post called an "armed mob." This coordinated attack was carried out at the Prairieland Detention Center outside of Dallas, Texas.

Ten of the people involved were arrested and charged with attempted murder after launching fireworks and shooting at law enforcement near the facility. They were decked out in tactical clothing and military-style equipment while allegedly attacking local law enforcement and federal agents who were unarmed at the time.

One officer from the town of Alvardo was shot in the neck but luckily survived after being treated at an area hospital. This came after one of the members of the violent mob unloaded up to 30 rounds at two employees at the detention center.

The left is in a frenzy over immigration enforcement, and now it appears to be spilling over into violence. This is a sickening escalation that has endangered peoples' lives, and there's a good chance it's only going to get worse.

The White House now claims no client list was left behind by late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, Fox News reported. This contradicts previous remarks Attorney General Pam Bondi made earlier this year.

Reporters inquired about the shifting narrative during a news conference on Monday. According to a memo from the FBI and the Department of Justice that day, a review of the case was completed over the weekend and revealed no client list exists for Epstein.

This contradicts remarks Bondi made in February about a list of people who may have patronized Epstein's island of ill repute. "It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that," the attorney general claimed at the time.

Media scrutiny

With such starkly conflicting information coming out of President Donald Trump's administration, reporters were not about to let White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt off the hook. Fox News' Peter Doocy quoted Bondi and asked Leavitt about her remarks in light of the recent memo.

"She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper, in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, that's what the attorney general was referring to, and I'll let her speak for that," Leavitt claimed. She said the agencies held back evidence that was explicit.

"There was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic, and it contained child pornography, which is not something that's appropriate for public consumption," Leavitt said. This comes after Bondi had already promised to release the files.

Shortly after Trump took office, Bondi met with several influencers and presented them with binders supposedly containing information about the Epstein case. There was nothing new, which was disappointing at the time.  However, those same people invited for the photo op held her feet to the fire on social media.

Some, like Rogan O'Handley, said the memo from the DOJ and FBI was a "shameful chapter in our country's history." Others like Liz Wheeler called for Bondi's ouster. "I'm supposed to be on vacation, but it’s time to fire Pam Bondi," Wheeler wrote.

The memo

The problem for the White House is that Bondi doubled down on claims of a client list. She said in May that they were sifting through "tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims."

Instead, the memo said "files relating to Epstein" included "ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography." This distinction raises questions about all of Bondi's statements regarding the case.

Meanwhile, the White House is engaging in damage control, including a Department of Justice spokesperson who sidestepped the question of the conflicting reports. "We've delivered more transparency in 6 months than the Biden administration did in 4 years," the spokesperson deflected.

Besides the question about a client list and other materials, the memo addressed longstanding theories that Epstein did not commit suicide by hanging, as was previously reported. The memo claims that Epstein definitely killed himself while in jail, case closed.

Trump made many promises to his voters during the campaign, including that the Epstein client list would be released. Now the White House is telling people there's no such thing, and that isn't sitting well with people skepitcal of the claim.

Fox News reported on Monday that Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has been balancing her royal duties with hobbies, parenting, and theraputic practices as she recovers from a battle with cancer.

At the encouragement of her husband Prince William and King Charles III, Middleton has resumed some royal duties at a pace she feels she can manage while she continues to recover from the undisclosed cancer that led to obdominal surgery in early 2024 and preventive chemotherapy.

"Princess Catherine has been recuperating behind the scenes," royal expert Neil Sean told Fox News Digital. "This includes a return to ballet with her daughter Princess Charlotte, a massive return to daily nature walks, as well as [keeping up with] her photography hobby."

"An excellent source told me she is living in the moment and has no time for drama… or difficult family members," Sean claimed. "She attended Trooping of the Colour and the Order of the Garter but felt it was too much to attend Royal Ascot. She felt exhausted. This is normal… regarding her return after cancer."

Her hobbies

Sean also said that Middleton has been playing the piano again, and that Prince William has been enjoying her efforts.

Along with her children George, Charlotte, and Louis, she has returned to cooking for the family and tending a garden.

She particularly enjoys making chutney and cultivating honey from her beehive, the sources said.

"[Catherine] knows only too well how fortunate she is, but behind the scenes she is a rock to many others," Sean shared. "Catherine told this source that we must remember to always enjoy the moments that we are in and not lose sight of the fact that life is a wonderful and precious thing."

Support system

She has leaned on senior royals and her mother, Carole Middleton, as well as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and her sister-in-law Alizee Thevenet for emotional support during the difficult journey.

"They’re [encouraging] her to enjoy these wonderful moments with her young family while recuperating," Sean said.

"Those who work with her, and for her, share that she’s disciplined, pragmatic, and a quiet, influential figure," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich said. "She divides her time meticulously between parenting, supporting Prince William, fulfilling her royal duties, all while maintaining a workout regimen supporting her physical and mental health."

Full life

It seems like a full life for the princess, and one she must enjoy all the more after it was threatened by the cancer diagnosis when she was barely 40 years old.

She is reportedly excited about Wimbledon, which she attends every year, as well as her family's retreat to Balmoral Castle in Scotland every summer.

"Princess Catherine’s approach to balancing duty and family, as well as [practicing] mindful self-care while being careful not to overextend herself, has rendered her as ever more vital, as well as a highly respected member of the royal family," Fordwich said.
