 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv. The bombardment stretched from night into daylight, with explosions reported across wide areas of the country. Kyiv residents had been on alert for days after warnings of a major aerial attack, including advisories for foreign diplomats to leave the capital. Despite those warnings, most remained in pl...

PRINCE WILLIAM AND KATE ARE NOW THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CORNWALL.(PHOTO).


 LONDON, UK: Prince William and Kate Middleton have changed their titles to Duke and Duchess of Cornwall on social media. The official @KensingtonRoyal Twitter and Instagram profiles were modified to state that the "Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge" are the accounts' owners shortly after Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday that the Queen, 96, had passed away at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.


The titles of Prince and Princess of Wales are also likely to pass to them. Prior to the Queen's death on Thursday, King Charles III, who held the title of Prince of Wales, also held the Scottish titles of Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay. As Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate are all set to inherit those titles too.


As part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend, William and Kate most recently travelled to Wales with their two oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. A male heir apparent is often granted the title of Prince of Wales. Prior to taking the throne (and abdicating after a few months), Edward VIII held the position for most of his life.


After William's grandmother death, the title of Prince of Wales will not automatically transfer to him; instead, the monarch must do so. When he was just 9 years old, King Charles himself was given the title of Prince of Wales by his mother. In 1969, Queen Elizabeth formally installed Charles as the Prince of Wales during an investiture at Caernarvon Castle.


Princess Diana, the late mother of William, had previously held the title of Princess of Wales after her 1981 marriage to King Charles. The two got divorced in 1996; the following year, she was killed in a vehicle accident. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall will now serve as Queen Consort. Sally Bedell Smith, the biographer of the Queen, told PEOPLE earlier this month that Kate has "learned by observing" Queen Elizabeth as she gets ready for her future position as Queen Consort. "She knows what resonates. She will have absorbed a lot from this Queen," Smith said.


The late Queen and Kate share important characteristics for the job — quiet stoicism, unwavering secrecy, and steadfast loyalty — despite having a 56-year age gap. Their allegiance to the throne is unshakeable, they never express opinions on divisive political matters, and their public personas are carefully managed. The Queen's unofficial maxim for public life, "Never complain, never explain," is also embodied by Kate.
