When most of us undergo surgery, we sit in bed for at least a week and feel terribly sorry for ourselves. But not the Queen of England.

Buckingham Palace has announced that Queen Elizabeth underwent cataract surgery last month, and instead of recovering in bed whilst watching The Crown, she has simply decided to wear sunglasses everywhere.

The 91-year-old's procedure was a day surgery, and was performed at King Edward VII hospital in London.

The queen “successfully underwent a short planned procedure”, a spokesman from the palace said.

According to All About Vision, cataracts is the clouding of the lens within the eye, causing a degree of blindness that can't be corrected with glasses. The condition is extremely common in people over 50, and most of the time vision can be completely restored.

2. Khloe Kardashian explains why she’s being ‘mum shamed’.

The mother-of-one spoke out about mum-shaming.

When it comes to parenting, we all have our own styles. So when the internet tried to tell Khloe Kardashian how to do her damn job again, she explained a few things.

In a heartfelt Tweet, the entrepreneur explained why she isn't able to breastfeed as much as she'd like to. In the tweet, the 33-year-old wrote "Mommy shaming is real! But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried to breast feed only and it wasn’t working for me."

"I feel fortunate that I am able to still breast-feed but with the help of formula. Breast-feeding is something I really wanted to do. Just am not fully able," she continued.

The new mum took to her website on Thursday to explain why she was using baby formula.

"I don’t produce enough milk, I also have to give a bottle with every feeding," she wrote.

"With the formula I use, I have to give True the bottle within 30 minutes of making it, so it’s amazing to have this machine make it for me," she continued in the post, which was promoting a baby formula mixing machine.

Khloe Kardashian gave birth to her daughter True in April, and she is the shared daughter of the Revenge Body host, and basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tristan Thompson.

3. "Sean has been dishing dirt all over town about me, apparently.” Inside the messy break up between Married at First Sight’s Tracey and Sean.

Last month, Tracey Jewel and Sean Thomsen split up, which was, ahem, a surprise to so many of us. Now, Sean has apparently "started an anti-Tracey club" with her ex-boyfriend.

During their show on Friday, Kate, Tim, and Marty questioned Tracey about the break up, where she revealed the details we didn't know we wanted.

"Sean has been dishing dirt all over town about me, apparently," Tracey told the trio.

"So I did break up with Sean... and I’ve heard today that he’s started an anti-Tracey club... and he’s catching up with my ex-boyfriend. It’s just sad that things have to end so bad."

After Kate asked why she chose to be with Sean in the first place, Tracey admitted she was to blame.

"I can’t even blame the experts for that one, guys, because I chose him myself," she answered.

When it comes to a supportive network of friends, Tracey mentioned one surprising name that might ring a bell to fellow Married At First Sight viewers.

"Dean has been supporting me here in Melbourne, we’re really good friends now so yeah, no regrets," she said.

Last month, the public expressed deep uncertainty as to their thoughts on Meghan Markle's Givenchy wedding dress.

Katy Perry said she would have gone with "one more fitting", designer Emilia Wickstead labelled the design if the dress a "copy", and Twitter wasn't so happy either.

Megha Mittal is the managing director of luxury brand Escada, and she has recently put forward her own expert opinion about the confusing dress.

"It was nice - simple, clean and minimal - but the sleeves didn't fit," Megha told the Daily Mail UK.

"At the top, it made her look too straight," she said.

Although the 41-year-old daughter-in-law of Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal thought the sleeves "didn't fit", she agreed Meghan Markle looked beautiful nonetheless.

"She was a radiant bride and I hope all good things go their way."
