Wait a second. When Queen Elizabeth II, who died Sept. 8, 2022, reigned for her 70 years, her better half wasn’t King Philip but rather HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. As with many things royal, it’s complicated.

Camilla’s new title was set in motion in February 2022, when Elizabeth decreed during festivities marking her seven decades on the throne that the Duchess of Cornwall should be known as Queen Consort, as opposed to Princess Consort, when Charles ascended to the throne.

Southern California’s largest reservoir marked an incredible turnaround Monday when officials from the Metropolitan Water District turned on the taps once again — releasing water transported from Northern California that gushed from valves at 600 cubic feet per second into the 4.5-mile-long Diamond Valley Lake.

Diamonds to pinwheels, blood drives and much more

Maybe it was the official start of spring, or just the substantial dose of warmer weather and sunshine, but this sure felt like a good week for all diamonds.

Diamonds to the 10th annual planting of pinwheels at the Luzerne County Courthouse by the Child Advocacy Center. These blue and silver spinners are an effective and eye-catching way to draw attention to the number of child abuse cases the Center handles each year (about 500) and to increase awareness so that, hopefully, more people will speak up when they see signs of suspected of abuse.
