The Duke of York filed his response to allegations of rape last week, ten years after his friendship with the convicted pedophile first became a scandal in the U.K. press. Giuffre says she was trafficked to London, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands for sex with Queen Elizabeth II’s son and feared injury or death if she refused. Andrew’s lawyers came out swinging in an 11th-hour filing on Friday shortly before the deadline for their response to the case....

The Prince of Wales gave an interview to U.K. radio station Classic FM in which he shared his childhood memories of classical music. He described how he was inspired by the Bolshoi Ballet as a child after being taken by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. And he confided that seven is the best age to start, the same age Prince George will turn on July 22. The future King said: “I was completely inspired by it....

Not necessarily. Royal names and titles are complicated; Charles might even choose to reign under a different name, since he has four of them: Charles, Philip, Arthur and George. The rules can be tweaked for reasons of state, or, nowadays, public relations. Charles is the Prince of Wales; on their marriage, his first wife Diana became Princess of Wales. But when he married Camilla, she took on the lesser title of Duchess of Cornwall....

And he is close enough to Prince William that when Prince George, 6, was born in July 2013 he was made a godfather and attended the christening at St. James Palace.

PolitiFact’s investigation into a viral video—which has been viewed on Facebook more than 445,000 times, and is titled MEDIA SHOCK! Harry & Meghan Have Finally Signed The DIVORCE Papers—comes after both the prince and Meghan have spoken about the effect that false social media posting about them has had on their mental health. The online fact checker is run by The Poynter Institute, and describes its guiding principles as “independence, transparency, fairness, thorough reporting and clear writing,” while adding that “the reason we publish is to give citizens the information they need to govern themselves in a democracy....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have fired repeated broadsides at the monarchy and laid bare their suspicions about hostile briefings by family members as they combed over their past experiences of royal life. The bombshells began in March 2021 with their Oprah Winfrey interview, followed by Harry’s Apple TV docu-series The Me You Can’t See two months later and more recently their Netflix series in December 2022, as well as multiple interviews....

The Duke of Sussex’s popularity with people born between 1946 and 1964 has sunk to 12 percent in a new poll. His uncle, Prince Andrew, is just above on 13 percent, alongside Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, also on 13 percent. The trio occupied the three bottom spots in a survey that measures the popularity of 15 members of the royal family. The news comes despite allegations that Prince Andrew had sex with a trafficking victim of the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein....

Spare by Prince Harry is billed by publishers Penguin Random House as a “raw” and “unflinching” account of the prince’s life, written “not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become.” As retailers opened to the public on Tuesday morning (some even scheduled midnight openings for those wanting the book early) Harry’s first literary work was being offered at 50 percent off. Though the motivation for this reduction is as yet unknown, such discounts are often applied to big releases in the competitive book-selling market....

The Duke of Sussex has filed his and Meghan Markle’s fourth lawsuit against the Daily Mail Group, and this one looks set to be among the biggest. The other three cases were all lodged against The Mail on Sunday, but this litigation also names the title’s stablemates the Daily Mail and Mail Online. Harry is joining Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost—as well as Baroness Lawrence, who became a campaigner for police reform after her teenage son Stephen was murdered in a 1993 racist attack....

In a new interview with The Undefeated, Prince’s friend Mikki Free states “Everything in that skit is true,” said Free, a Grammy Award-winning songwriter who was a member of Shalamar in the 1980s. “I played in that game. And Prince was Steph Curry all [expletive] night!… we had on ‘blouses,’ and frilly shirts,” Free said. “The same clothes we had at the club. Prince played in 6-inch heels!”.

Recorded as part of a 2017 documentary titled Mind Over Marathon, which explored the mental health challenges tackled by participants in the London endurance run, the clip shows William responding to a plea for advice on how to help young children cope with the loss of a parent. In the clip, 39-year-old marathon participant Rhian Burke, a mother-of-two who had recently lost her husband, asks the prince: “Obviously you were a little bit older than my children but I obviously worry about them growing up…they’ll be OK, won’t they?...

Pro-abortion Democrats in Congress know they have only a two-year window to push through their agenda, or else figure out how to cement their power indefinitely. They cannot win a fair fight, so they’ve decided to rewrite all the rules—from getting rid of the filibuster to enlarging the Supreme Court and seizing control over elections to put all the power in Washington instead of in the hands of the people....
