Princess Leonor is 13, Patrisha’s duty and twins separated

Faces in the news begins with (at left) Spain’s Princess Leonor, heir to the throne. Leonor turned 13 last week and as part of her preparation for a life of royal duty (and privilege) she gave her first speech. It was on the 40th anniversary of Spain’s constitution. Very sweet. Speaking of duty, Philippine Airlines flight attendant Patrisha Organo (centre) assumed a rather unusual one by breast-feeding a passenger’s infant. She heard the baby crying soon after takeoff and asked the mother if everything was okay. The woman wept as she said she had run out of milk. Organo, the mother of a toddler, took over and fed the baby. At right, Australian surgeons in Melbourne have successfully separated conjoined twins from Bhutan.  The 15-month-old girls, Nima and Dawa, were doing well after the surgery that lasted almost six hours. It was a delicate operation that divided their shared liver and reconstructed their abdomens. Video
