Wooing voters’ hearts through their stomachs is nothing new, especially in Iowa where presidential candidates are judged not only by their foreign policy skills but by their ability to flip a pancake.

The prince’s highly anticipated and polarizing book has now been published globally, promising readers a “raw” and “unflinching” account of his life story to date, including many personal revelations concerning members of the royal family. One relationship which is examined in great detail is the one between Harry and his brother Prince William. Harry makes a number of personal descriptions of his brother, including a section in the memoir’s prologue, in which he writes: “I took it all in: his familiar scowl, which had always been his default in dealings with me; his alarming baldness, more advanced than my own; his famous resemblance to mummy, which was fading with time....
The Duke of Sussex’s legal team said a Mail on Sunday story accusing him of turning his back on the Royal Marines would have damaged his ability to help forces personnel and veterans.

Sources told Newsweek in early January the case had been settled last year when the newspaper printed an apology to Harry and announced a donation to the Invictus Games Foundation....

Prince Harry has drawn comparisons between his wife and his mother on several occasions, including during the CBS tell-all in March 2021. “My biggest concern was history repeating itself and I’ve said that before on numerous occasions, very publicly,” Harry told Oprah Winfrey. “And what I was seeing was history repeating itself. But more, perhaps. “Or definitely far more dangerous because then you add race in and you add social media in....
But first, Jeter wants to make 2014 a season to wipe out the miserable one he just finished with the New York Yankees. Jeter turns 40 next June and earlier this month cut a one-year, $12 million contract. His status as a Yankees icon seems secure even as observers wonder how much longer he will continue to play.
