at Durham Cathedral on ThursdayCredit: AFP<\/p>\n King Charles<\/a> did a special Easter visit<\/a> this week to Durham Cathedral.<\/p>\n As he met with royal watchers, he joked it was \u201call mirrors\u201d when someone said he was looking well.<\/p>\n Pat Johnson, 54, of Jarrow, South Tyneside, attracted Charles’s attention after bringing 18-month-old Pembroke corgi called Lilibet to the stand outside the service.\u00a0<\/p>\n She said afterwards: “He asked if she was friendly and he asked me what her name was.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I said I named I named her after your mother and said ‘you look well and he said ‘you are very kind but it’s all mirrors.'”\u00a0<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n The King presented the Maundy recipients – 76 men and 76 women – with two purses: one red and one white, containing Maundy MoneyCredit: Getty<\/p>\n Charles, who is continuing to have cancer treatment more than a year after his diagnosis, had earlier issued his Easter message<\/a> saying “love” is the greatest virtue.\u00a0<\/p>\n The King wrote: “One of the puzzles of our humanity is how we are capable of both great cruelty and great kindness.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis paradox of human life runs through the Easter story and in the scenes that daily come before our eyes \u2014 at one moment, terrible images of human suffering and, in another, heroic acts in war-torn countries where humanitarians of every kind risk their own lives to protect the lives of others.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThere are three virtues that the world still needs \u2014 faith, hope and love.\u00a0\u201cAnd the greatest of these is love\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kate Middleton’s affectionate nickname for father-in-law King Charles<\/p>\n HE may be the King of England to us regular folk, but Charles is just ‘grandpa’ to his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton.<\/p>\n Princess Kate appeared to have used the moniker for her father-in-law during a meeting at the\u00a0G7 summit<\/a> in 2021, according to a lip reader.<\/p>\n Upon arriving, the duchess greeted her father-in-law<\/a>, and a lip reader told\u00a0CornwallLive<\/a>\u00a0that she said: “Hello Grandpa, how are you?”<\/p>\n King Charles is grandfather to Kate and William’s three adorable kids – Princes George and Louis and cheeky Princess Charlotte – so the name is only fitting.<\/p>\n His Majesty reportedly has a couple of affectionate names for Kate, including \u201cbeloved daughter-in-law\u201d and \u201cdarling daughter-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PRINCESS Kate and Prince William will not be
