Welsh rock star Bonnie Tyler said she will never get bored of singing Total Eclipse Of The Heart as she received an MBE at Windsor Castle.

The musician, originally Gaynor Sullivan from Skewen, Wales, has been a dedicated ambassador for the Prince of Wales trust for several years, and she had the opportunity to meet Prince William and his family at Cardiff Castle. Despite not expecting the prince to be a fan of her music, she fondly recalled a kind gesture from their initial encounter. During a concert in Cardiff for the Queen’s Jubilee, the Prince of Wales arrived with Catherine and the children, mentioning that he had played some of her music to his family on the way to the event so they would recognize her.

Upon receiving her MBE from the Prince of Wales, Tyler expressed her delight in engaging in a pleasant conversation with Prince William. She recounted that the Prince wore a warm smile as he inquired about her experiences on tour, expressing his pleasure in seeing her once again. With a career spanning over five decades in the music industry, Tyler has released more than 15 albums. Despite her extensive accomplishments, she remains humble and expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with some of the world’s finest producers and songwriters. Reflecting on her recent tour in Brazil and South America, Tyler acknowledged that she receives greater recognition in other countries. Looking ahead, she revealed her upcoming plans for a significant tour later in the year, while also mentioning her upcoming visits to Denmark and Brussels in March.

My Stepdaughter Insisted I Reassign All Her Deceased Father’s Possessions into Her Name – I Complied, Yet She Was Unpleased

The emptiness of George’s departure permeates their residence, his presence enduring in the shirt Mariana grips nightly. However, it wasn’t his passing that devastated her… it was her stepdaughter Susan’s insistence on inheriting his wealth. When she reluctantly agreed, an unexpected twist left Susan enraged and Mariana strangely content.

Progressing past the death of a dear one is always challenging. At times, I still sense my husband George’s voice echoing in my mind. I awaken holding his cherished shirt, his fragrance still clinging to the material. Yet, as I mourned him, my stepdaughter’s actions… they utterly broke me…

I am Mariana, aged 57, wed to the kindest man, George, for 25 years. He had a daughter, Susan, aged 34, from an earlier marriage.

Our bond with Susan was once good. She addressed me as “Mom” and filled the gap in my heart from not bearing my own children. I never viewed her as “another’s” child. I cherished her as my own daughter, truly.

When Susan wed her chosen partner, George and I were thrilled. But then, everything deteriorated when George received a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Susan’s visits reduced from weekly to monthly, then ceased entirely. She seldom visited her father, occasionally phoning to inquire about his health.

One day, she posed a question that tore me apart. “How long does he have left?”

Clutching the phone tightly, my voice shook. “Susan, your father isn’t an item with an expiration date.”

“I just need to know, Mom. I’m swamped, you know that… I can’t come by often,” she responded.

“Swamped?” I repeated, my tone filled with disbelief. “Too swamped to visit your dying father?”

She exhaled deeply. “Look, I’ll attempt to come soon, okay?”

But that “soon” never materialized.

Then, the dreaded day arrived. The hospital informed me that George had passed away peacefully.

I was devastated, barely able to stand as the reality sank in. My beloved George, gone.

Shockingly, Susan didn’t attend his funeral. When I called her, she promptly excused herself.

“I’m expecting, Mom,” she stated, her tone strangely indifferent. “The doctors advised against lengthy travel due to some medical concerns.”

I swallowed hard, holding back tears. “But Susan, it’s your father’s funeral. Don’t you wish to bid him farewell one last time?”

“I can’t jeopardize my baby’s health,” she curtly replied. “You understand, right?”

I didn’t, not truly, but I nodded silently, forgetting she couldn’t see me. “Of course, dear. Take care.”

As I sat near my husband’s coffin, I couldn’t dismiss the notion that our relationship had irrevocably changed.

Six months post-George’s death, I was startled by a loud knock at my door. Opening it, I saw Susan and her husband Doug, along with a severe-looking man in a suit.

Susan entered without greeting. “Mom, we need your signature on some documents.”

Baffled, I blinked. “Which documents?”

Doug handed me a stack of papers, including a blank sheet. “Just sign these. They’re for transferring all the properties into our names.”
