Prince William's sweet gesture to 12-year-old schoolboy after he made royal request

Prince William surprised a 12 year old boy on Thursday (25 April) by visiting his school in Sandwell, six months after the young student invited the Royal for a visit along with his school mates. Last October, the youngster, Freddie Hadley, used X to invite Prince William, who is back to work after some time off to look after wife Kate, to visit his institution, St Michael's Church of England High School, introducing the Prince to an initiative he is involved in named Matrix Project.

How Sinéad O’Connor’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ changed ’90s rock — and upstaged Prince
Nothing Compares 2 U” — the unparalleled breakup ballad that turned Sinéad O’Connor’s tears into a chart-topping triumph — in an even more heartbreaking way today.Indeed — after the Irish icon’s shocking passing on Wednesday at just 56 — nothing can take away these blues right now.But while all those flowers planted in the backyard may have died, “Nothing Compares 2 U” signaled the bloom of a new era in rock after it went to No. 1 in the spring of 1990.Following the ’80s domination of pop superstars including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston and Prince — who wrote “Nothing Compares 2 U” for the Family, his side project that originally released the song in 1985 — rising alt-rock star O’Connor represented a game change when her definitive version dropped in the first days of January 1990.After becoming a darling of the MTV “120 Minutes” crowd with her 1987 debut “The Lion and the Cobra,” O’Connor traded the more rocking, dance-driven attack of “Mandinka” and “I Want Your (Hands on Me)” for something totally different and surprising: an emotionally bare ballad, dripping in strings and sorrow, that revealed a striking vulnerability.No doubt — it cut even closer to the bone than her shaved head.And then there was that iconic video with O’Connor in crushing close-up, shedding that single tear.
