Prince William about to propose to Kate Middleton in Africa
Kate & William: The Comic Book
It will be this year's fairytale wedding, but now the story of Prince William and Kate Middleton's courtship has been turned into a comic book.

First Lady Jill Biden, left, places her hands on U.S. President Joe Biden during the 59th presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021. Biden will propose a broad immigration overhaul on his first day as president, including a shortened pathway to U.S. citizenship for undocumented migrants - a complete reversal from Donald Trump's immigration restrictions and crackdowns, but one that faces major roadblocks in Congress.
