Royal family members meet some of the most famous and powerful people in the world—but they can also be targets for people with bad intent. Prince Charles and Britain’s Most Notorious Pedophile Prince Charles and Princess Diana became friends with a famous U.K. children’s entertainer, Jimmy Savile, who was exposed after his death as a prolific paedophile, rapist and necrophiliac with 450 victims. A new Netflix documentary, Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story, shows Charles asked the BBC presenter for PR advice a month after the December 1988 Lockerbie Bombing....

The Prince of Wales was said to be “more than disappointed” at plans by the British Home Office to deport asylum seekers who enter the U.K. illegally more than 4,000 miles to Rwanda to apply for asylum there, according to London’s The Times. Charles is not the first to criticize the scheme, which is being fought in the courts by human rights lawyers, to the consternation of right-wing newspapers, including the Daily Mail....

Catherine St-Laurent stepped back from the role in March, with the announcement coming a couple of weeks after Meghan and Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. In the run-up to the tell-all on CBS, an email was leaked to U.K. newspaper The Times detailing a bullying allegation against Meghan made by her former staff at Kensington Palace. However, in her first interview with a publication since her departure as chief of staff, St-Laurent praised the couple....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex suffered because the royals have never worked out how to handle the younger brothers and sisters of the heir to the throne, who are destined to live in their older sibling’s shadow, according to historian Robert Lacey. In Battle of Brothers, published by William Collins and released on Thursday, Lacey argues that the royal institution could not find a meaningful role for the couple and that Prince William’s attitude to his brother was marked by rivalry....

The Duke of Sussex said his own and past generations “haven’t done enough to right the wrongs of the past” as he admitted “division, isolation and anger dominate.” The intervention represents the strongest comments made on racism from a birth royal and comes almost a month after wife Meghan Markle backed Black Lives Matter. His words came in a speech for the Diana Award’s virtual ceremony today, on what would have been her 59th birthday....

The Duke of Sussex’s net approval rating was at zero in data collected by Deltapoll—following a crash in his popularity following the CBS tell-all in March 2021. Meghan’s net approval was -17 in the same data which, while low, is an improvement on recent polling by YouGov which had her at -23. Deltapoll’s research was conducted for The Mail on Sunday, the same newspaper Meghan successfully sued for privacy and copyright over a letter she sent her father....

The edited clip package, showing the royals at a number of events throughout 2022, has been viewed over half a million times since being uploaded to TikTok, and received in excess of 35,000 likes. “I’m obsessed with the synchronization they have, they’re perfect 😍,” video poster katemiddleton.fp captioned the upload, with a number of royal fans left equally enthralled. “Perfection,” wrote one commenter, with another adding: “Such a power couple!...

Demonstrators from the Advocates Network, which is calling for slavery reparations and an apology for the U.K.’s colonial past, gathered outside the British High Commission in the capital Kingston. They handed an open letter addressed to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to a senior staff member. The crowd carried banners emblazoned with the words “Apologize now,” “Seh yuh sorry” and “Reparations due.” In addition to the letter, the Advocates Network produced a list of “60 reasons for apologies and reparations from Britain and its royal family....

Which is a good thing for moviegoers. In “Big Fish,” Finney is again spending a lot of screen time in bed, this time dying, not wooing–and stealing scenes from Billy Crudup, who plays his son, trying to make peace before it’s too late. Finney’s Edward, a Southerner who tells tall tales in a molasses drawl, is the latest richly etched supporting character he’s created in this chapter of his career, including Julia Roberts’s crusty boss in “Erin Brockovich” (his fifth Oscar nomination)....

Miranda Holder—celebrity stylist and royal fashion expert—has spoken of Diana’s ability to “shake up” the staid image of the royal family, with her 1990s wardrobe becoming a key contributing factor to this. The Crown’s costume designer, Amy Roberts, has worked on the past three seasons of the show covering a period in fashion history spanning from the 1960s to 1990s. In 2020, Roberts was awarded an Emmy for outstanding period costumes in Season 3, which saw Queen Elizabeth II (as played by Olivia Colman) navigate the demise of the age of deference as well as the increasing independence of her eldest son, Charles....

The decision came from Wichita East High School principal Ken Thiessen, stating it wasn’t appropriate since Kelley didn’t play for the varsity team.

Georgia is the only state in which both of its senators were battling to keep their seats this election cycle. With election officials still counting votes in the state on Thursday, a pro-life nonprofit, Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List), and its partner, the Women Speak Out PAC, announced a campaign to re-elect the incumbents—both of whom are pro-life—and “hold our #ProLife Senate majority.” “We are going all in for pro-life champions Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue,” SBA List Vice President of Communications Mallory Quigley said in a news release....

Republican Jarome Bell, who is running in Virginia’s second congressional district, tweeted Friday, “Audit all 50 states. Arrest all involved. Try all involved. Convict all involved. Execute all involved. #MaricopaCountyFraud.” Bell, who served in the Navy as a chief petty officer for 27 years, is running as a conservative “America First” candidate in the suburban swing district encompassing the Virginia Beach area, according to his campaign’s website. Democrat Elaine Luria currently represented the district....

According to the Arizona Republic, individuals associated with a group called “AZ Protect the Vote” turned in signed notarized documents which purported to allot Arizona’s 11 electoral votes to Trump. Electors actually appointed by the Arizona state legislature cast their votes for Biden on Monday. Trump has baselessly claimed that the 2020 election was riddled with voter fraud which would make Biden’s victory invalid. “We seated before the legislators here,” said Lori Osiecki, who helped craft the false certificate....

Wood, who voiced strong support for former President Donald Trump, represented Sandmann in defamation lawsuits after some media outlets attempted to paint Sandmann as a white supremacist. Sandmann, a student of Covington Catholic High School at the time, was seen wearing a pro-Trump hat during the confrontation.

The speaker at the “ReAwaken America” rally, Bo Polny, showed photos of individuals who he said would face death, according to HuffPost reporter Christopher Mathias on Twitter. “Crowd cheers as speaker Bo Polny declares prophecy that the ‘Angel of death’ will be visiting these people by end of year,” Mathias tweeted. “Ends speech by saying ‘45 is coming back!’” The photos of politicians shown at the rally included Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former President Bill Clinton and Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp....

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf has claimed, as has Trump, that there was voter fraud leading to President Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 election. This claim has led the sheriff to open an investigation into voting machines in Barry County, as officials there have denounced the probe as “absolutely ridiculous and ludicrous,” CBS local affiliate News Channel 3 reported on Friday. While Biden won Michigan by more than 150,000 votes—or about 2....

Laney College in Oakland confirmed that they are aware of allegations of “racist and xenophobic messages” from one of their faculty members about the pronunciation of a student’s name. According to an email chain, which was later posted onto social media, professor Matthew Hubbard had asked student Phuc Bui Diem Nguyen to change her name as it “sounds like an insult” in English. “Your name in English sounds like Fk Boy,” Hubbard adds....

If you suspect your child is losing their sense of hearing, discuss your concerns with their pediatrician. Hearing tests can determine whether your child’s hearing really is diminishing and if so, other tests can be done to determine why so the appropriate treatment can be started as soon as possible. This may involve strategies aimed at improving hearing (if possible) and speech, as well as management of the underlying cause of the progressive hearing loss....

The chamber cleared a key procedural hurdle Tuesday, voting 220-212 to advance the budget resolution—which will allow Democrats to pass much more of President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda, and without needing Republican support. The progress came after days of internal infighting among leadership and the so-called “Mod Squad” of nine centrist Democrats, who demanded the chamber vote on the Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure before moving on to reconciliation. After striking a deal with Pelosi, which included adding a provision specifying the House would advance the infrastructure bill by September 27, each of the moderate lawmakers fell into step and voted for the budget measure....
