The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTAs) isn’t shy to famous guests and perhaps the biggest name of anyone in attendance was the Prince of Wales and future King of England, who appeared sad as he discussed his wife’s health.
Prince William’s wife of 13 years, Kate Middleton, recently had abdominal surgery at The London Clinic for undisclosed reasons, and Lady Diana Spencer’s son had no intention of revealing those to the public either.
It normally wouldn’t be an issue as the Royal Family are very secretive about health but, in a stark contrast, King Charles III was very open about his own prostate surgery and then his diagnosis of an unrelated cancer.
“I’ve seen less than ever,” Prince William said, on how many films he has watched. “With my wife it’s been a bit… But I hope we catch up, I’ll make my list tonight.”
Why all the hush?
Middleton simply may not want her private affairs to be known to everyone in the world, which is a reasonable request made by many normal people too, but it hasn’t stopped conspiracies and questions flying around…
The question on many lips is if the King is so transparent about his own health to the nation, then why is the ex-Dutchess of Cambridge being so private?
The only thing we know thus far is that it is not cancer, Kensington Palace made that very clear. Nonetheless, many suspect it could be Crohn’s Disease, a hysterectomy or surgery to handle avid refluxes following the delivery of three children in the last decade.

Whatever the reason, it knocked the future Queen off her feet as she needed her entire immediate family to rally around her and to look after her children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
That included her husband who stepped back from official royal duties for a brief period, whilst Middleton is expected to return to hers after Easter once she is back to a full recovery.
Should You Rinse Ground Beef?
Ground beef is that reliable, adaptable ingredient that can be used to make delicious burgers, a substantial spaghetti sauce, or even a superb taco filling. However, there is a burning query that has been roiling in kitchens: should ground beef be rinsed before or after cooking? Gather your wit and an apron as we delve into the specifics of this culinary puzzle.
Supporters of Rinsing
Let us begin with the hygienic freaks in the kitchen. To cut down on fat content, several home cooks swear by washing ground beef. Yes, they really do think that giving your supper a brief rinse can be like a knight in shining armor, saving it from turning into an oily nightmare. If you’re trying to lose weight or you just don’t like oily, drippy food, this can be food heaven.
Reasons not to rinse
Hold your horses, or rather, your meat, for there is a camp opposed to rinsing in the opposite corner of the ring. Cooks like these cook that washing ground beef is like taking a one-way ticket to flavor town that takes a detour. Some contend that washing away whisks away the flavorful liquids that give your food its delicious texture. Consider this: the succulent flavor and delectable texture of your food come from the fat and fluids. Eliminating them could result in a tasteless, parched food that could even make your dog sneer.
Untidy Procedure and Plumbing Dangers
And let’s speak about the mess if you’re still not convinced by the flavor argument. When ground beef is rinsed, the kitchen might become a greasy wasteland. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds to wrestle the meat under flowing water, I assure you.
There’s also the dangerous risk to your plumbing. If you flush that fat down the drain, you’re essentially inviting a party that clogs pipes. Fat freezes more quickly than you can say “plumber bills,” which can result in poor drainage and expensive repairs down the road. The wise method of getting rid of fat? Allow it to firm and cool before scraping it into a trash can. And presto! The issue is resolved.
There you have it, people. The decision to rinse or not to rinse is ultimately a question of taste. Consider the benefits and drawbacks that we have listed here and make your decision depending on your gastronomic goals. The next time you’re preparing food using ground beef, keep in mind to choose a recipe that will give you the flavors and textures you want, regardless of whether you’re team rinse or team no-rinse. Salutations!
