King Charles Responds to Explosive Diana ‘Forget Her’ Claim
Buckingham Palace has made a rare move after Charles Spencer accused the King of making a brutal remark about Princess Diana days after her death.
In his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Spencer claims the then-Prince Charles erupted during a tense phone call over whether Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother’s coffin.
According to Spencer, Charles eventually “unleashed” what he interpreted as pent-up anger toward Diana before allegedly hissing: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough!”
The Palace has now responded, saying it does not normally comment on books but adding: “His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss.”
Nearly three decades after Diana’s death, one of the bitterest private moments surrounding her funeral has suddenly become public — and the King clearly disputes how it is remembered.
Margot Robbie Sizzles in Retro Bikini for ‘Ocean’s’ Prequel
Margot Robbie is bringing 1960s glamour back to the French Riviera.
The Barbie star showed off her toned figure in a retro blue bikini top and high-waisted shorts while filming beach scenes for the upcoming Ocean’s Eleven prequel alongside Bradley Cooper.
Robbie was photographed running through the water, strolling barefoot along the rocky shoreline and relaxing between takes as cameras rolled on the star-studded heist movie.
Cooper — who is also directing and writing — went shirtless in striped swim trunks while filming alongside Robbie, with the pair reportedly playing a married couple in the movie.
After Paris and Monaco, the production has now hit the Riviera. The thieves may be fictional, but Margot is already stealing the scene.
Ed Sheeran Denies Axing Macklemore Over Palestine Row
Ed Sheeran says the decision to remove Macklemore from his tour wasn’t his.
Sheeran broke his silence after the rapper was dropped from remaining dates following performances at MetLife Stadium in which he said “Free Palestine” and performed his protest track “Hind’s Hall” alongside images of destruction in Gaza.
Sheeran said venues scheduled for future dates refused to host the shows if Macklemore remained on the bill, insisting: “It was the promoter’s decision, it was not mine.” He said he personally tried to find a compromise, including speaking with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Kraft later confirmed Macklemore would not appear at Gillette Stadium, citing what he described as the rapper’s history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery. Macklemore has rejected the conflation of criticism of Israel or Zionism with hatred of Jewish people and said antisemitism itself is real.
The fallout has now spread through Sheeran’s tour, with Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga all pulling out in solidarity with Macklemore.
Alexandra Daddario Shows Off Bikini Body Amid Divorce
Alexandra Daddario is squeezing every last drop out of summer.
The White Lotus actress shared a sun-soaked vacation photo dump featuring herself stretched across a lounge chair in a blue-and-white gingham bikini.
Daddario also slipped into a floor-length floral dress with a midriff cutout for a mirror selfie, while fans flooded the comments with praise — including one follower who bluntly declared her estranged husband had “fumbled.”
The actress filed for divorce from Andrew Form earlier this year after more than three years of marriage. Her representative said the split was made “with love and respect” and that the former couple would continue co-parenting their son.
Divorce may be underway, but Daddario’s vacation era appears very much in full swing.
Selena Gomez’s Emmys Look Sparks ‘Fresh Botox’ Speculation
Selena Gomez’s Emmys appearance had some fans doing a double take — but an expert says the photographs prove very little.
The 34-year-old hit the red carpet in a custom gold Louis Vuitton gown, with some viewers focusing on what appeared to be slight asymmetry around her eyes and wondering whether recent Botox could be responsible.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Omar Tillo, who has not treated Gomez, said cosmetic injections were only one possible explanation and stressed that natural asymmetry, expression, swelling, makeup, lighting and camera angles can all dramatically change how a face appears in photographs.
He was equally cautious about online claims Gomez may have undergone cheek filler, saying it was “impossible to determine” from the images alone.
Fans may be zooming in frame by frame, but the doctor’s verdict was considerably less dramatic: a different photograph doesn’t equal proof of a different face.
