The reputation of beleaguered royal Andrew has been tarnished by his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A sexual assault lawsuit was filed against Andrew in 2021 by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. In 2019, Andrew gave what is largely considered to be a car crash interview with the BBC in which he failed to adequately justify his friendship with Epstein, while also attempting to discredit Giuffre and her allegations....

In an interview for Britain’s The Daily Telegraph, Harry told writer Bryony Gordon: “If I see wrongdoing and a pattern of behaviour that is harming people, I will do everything I can to try and change it.” “He worries about the other ‘spares’ in the family,” she wrote, referring to the English saying of “heir and a spare,” with the spare’s role being secondary to that of their older sibling, the heir....

The Duke of Sussex suffered frostbite on his crown jewels in the runup to and during Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding, after he hiked through the North Pole.

Harry wrote: “My penis was oscillating between extremely sensitive and borderline traumatized....

In results published for the survey taken March 24-25, 2022, only 30 percent of respondents said they viewed the royal favorably. Forty-three percent filed an unfavorable response. The slump in Harry’s UK polling figures stands in stark contrast to those filed by YouGov in 2017 at the time of his engagement to Meghan—a high watermark for the prince’s popularity. In November that year, YouGov’s survey revealed that 81 percent of respondents viewed Harry positively....

Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan was released on Thursday, December 8, after a week of frenzied speculation about whether it would be critical of the monarchy. The first episode was full of candid, behind-the-scenes footage of the couple with their young children, Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. However, Harry also discussed difficult aspects of his childhood, as he watched his mother being hounded by the media and faced shouted questions as a young boy from the media....

The Duke of Sussex is suing Mirror Group Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, in relation to about 140 articles published between 1996 and 2011.

Gyan’s captaincy has been a subject of controversy, as aside from his said unsuitability for the role, many have tagged him as a divisive figure due to a reported bad blood between himself and deputy captain Andre Ayew.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been touring the U.K. to thank frontline workers for putting their lives on the line during the coronavirus pandemic.

The statement issued Monday on behalf of the princes comes after a U.K. newspaper claimed Monday that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feel they have been bullied by Prince William. The joint statement said: “Despite clear denials, a false story ran in a U.K. newspaper today speculating about the relationship between The Duke of Sussex and The Duke of Cambridge. “For brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful....

An August report by The New York Times citing law enforcement and prison official sources claimed that the two prison guards from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York were asleep on duty, did not check on Epstein for three hours (30 minute checks were required), and falsified prison logs to cover this up.

Wood is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, a known QAnon conspiracy theorist and one of the lawyers representing Kyle Rittenhouse, who is accused of shooting three people in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August. He frequently publicizes right-wing political opinions on social media and backs Trump’s unsubstantiated claims that voter fraud altered results of the general election. Referencing McConnell’s break with Trump on the election, and Republican officials who believe the president’s election loss was illegitimate, Wood called the senator a “traitor” and “communist sympathizer” in a recent tweet....
