Prince Harry has been dealt another blow after a ‘crucial’ staff member at one of his beloved projects is quitting.

It has emerged that Sally Davey is stepping down from her role as chief executive of Travalyst – the non-profit eco-tourism organisation, which the Duke of Sussex helped to set up in 2019. In a statement, she said that she had “reached a point in my journey where I know I need to give more time back to my family, and to myself”.

She added, “I will always be grateful for your assistance, including as my confidant and guide during this personal decision to step back,” Harry’s mother said. I’m proud of the partnership we’ve created. And despite my resignation as CEO, I continue to be as dedicated to the cause of Travalyst.

A source told the Daily Mail that Sally’s departure would be a “huge blow” to Travalyst, as she had been “crucial in its development”.

London-based non-profit Travalyst was launched by Harry in 2019 when he and his wife Meghan Markle were still working royals. It aimed to make tourism and travel more eco-friendly and sustainable by bringing major travel firms such as TripAdvisor and Skyscanner together.

Despite admitting to taking private jets, Harry was the project’s face. Five years after launching Travalyst in Amsterdam, the prince said that “no one is perfect” and that “we can all do better” in addressing environmental issues.

He added: “I came here by commercial. I spend 99 per cent of my life travelling the world by commercial. Occasionally, there needs to be an opportunity based on a unique circumstance to ensure my family are safe, and it’s genuinely as simple as that.”

Sally’s departure comes as Sussexes appear to have a high staff turnover for their new endeavors.

When Josh Kettler, a seasoned public relations professional, quit his position just weeks after being reportedly hired to “guid him] Harry] through his next phase,” eyebrows were raised last year.

However, Mr. Kettler, who had previously served as Cognixion’s chief of staff and head of strategic partnerships, revealed what it was really like for Harry and Meghan and described him as “warmly welcomed” by both of them and their Archewell team in an interview with US Weekly.

They are hardworking and dedicated, he continued. It was fascinating to witness. Following a report in the Hollywood Reporter calling her “Duchess Difficult,” a number of former and current employees made his remarks as a result.

The company’s current Global Press Secretary, Ashley Hansen, stated that the Sussexes “couldn’t be more supportive,” while Ben Browning, who had been Archewell Productions’ head of content and left before his contract was signed, claimed.

She expressed her gratitude to the Duke and Duchess for her care and concern for her during her surgery and for showing her “the kind of concern and care a parent would express if her own child” while arranging for her recovery with flowers and presents.

Meanwhile, Mandana Dayani, the former president of Archewell, also spoke to US Weekly, saying: “Part of the profound injustice of having to speak publicly on this in light of these endless and damaging narratives is that so much of the kindness, mentorship, and support that Prince Harry and Meghan share with others happens quietly behind closed doors.”

Denim has always been a wardrobe staple, but it’s getting a seriously new update this fall. The new season focuses on reworking this enduring material in fun, youthful ways, from deep indigo blue washes to trendy silhouettes and statement finishes.

Think relaxed cuts, embellished details, and pieces that are both polished and easy to wear all day long.

This week, our favorite TV hosts seem to be stomping on the denim hype. It’s obvious that this classic fabric is restraining with Alison Hammond’s boho-chic denim dress from last night’s Bake Off and Lorraine’s sculpting Karen Millen midi dress.

The latest host to try out the trend is Sian Welby, who sported a trendy boucle denim set on This Morning, hailing it her ‘co-ord of dreams’. The exact set includes the Denim Bouclé Jacket in Mid Wash, priced at £48, paired with the Denim Bouclé Wide Leg Jeans in Mid Wash, priced at £45.

Playing around with various textures, washes, and shapes is essential for denim to feel fresh and new this season.

The look is enhanced by Chanel-inspired boucle detailing while still maintaining the relaxed, cool-girl vibe that regular denim has.

To style this set, Sian kept it simple by keeping the jacket buttoned up to showcase the gorgeous gold button detailing and teamed it with a pair of white mules for a classy look.

The great thing about co-ords is that you can mix and match them with other pieces in your wardrobe to get the most bang for your buck. For a chic daytime look, you could easily swap out the jacket for a knitted rugby shirt and suede jacket, or swap out the jeans for a pair of tailored trousers and loafers for the office.

Jason Flemyng, a British actor, was found speeding at 24 mph and given a driving ban. The Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels star’s Kia Sorrento was speeding at 20 mph.

The actor already had 12 points on his license after being caught speeding for the fourth time last year. Due to an administrative error in the justice system, he had not been given a driving ban.

He was given a six-month driving ban and a total fine of £775 after admitting to speeding in Clapham, south-west London, which is close to where he lives.

The court shouldn’t waste their time, I say. He had stated, “I accept what has occurred. When questioned about whether he wanted to claim exceptional hardship, he responded, “Well, driving is everything I do for a living and doing for charity.”

Before I drove 24 mph in a 20 mph zone, I should have given that some thought.

Jason Flemyng, who was also a part of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, both directed by Ritchie, is well known for his work. Additionally, Matthew Vaughn directed Layer Cake, Kick-Ass, and X-Men: First Class, which he also acted in.

Jason made an announcement about working with his friend Jason Statham earlier this year. When asked why he had been a part of the A Working Man cast, he responded, “Stata and I have been friends for almost three decades. I liked the script, so it wasn’t the script. Fantastic directors Statham and David Ayer were the two of them. I adore his movies. You’re aware that he creates and molds you, and that he is a good director. That was a fantastic experience, therefore. It was also fantastic to spend four or five weeks with my good friend Jason messing around and laughing on set.

The final outstanding alpha male, Jason Statham. Every girl desires him. Every boy desires to be him. He is the final member of the Alpha male film hero. For that, I adore him. He is also the sweetest, gentlest man. Everyone desires to see a movie starring Statham. And since Transporter 2, they haven’t seen Statham and Flemyng together. You must watch it, then, because of this.

As for what’s next, Jason revealed he was just back from Malaysia, where his children had been filming for a BBC adaption of Lord of the Flies. He also revealed he was working on Trigger Point, the ITV drama starring Vicky McClure.

BBC Radio star Melvyn Bragg quits hit show after 26 years on air

After hosting more than 1, 000 In Our Time episodes, BBC Radio 4 host Melvyn Bragg resigned. Bragg, who has been a part of the program for 26 years, will stop working for BBC Radio 4 this week.

It’s been quite a ride for a program with a completely unoriginal title and a six-month contract, Bragg said. I’ve collaborated with a number of very gifted and helpful people at the BBC as well as with some of the world’s most renowned academics.

It’s been a great pleasure and privilege. I’m eager to keep working for the BBC on Radio 4! I appreciate you taking my time.

Melvyn Bragg
More than 1, 000 episodes of the television series Mirrorpix were hosted by Melvyn Bragg.

Since its launch in 1998, Bragg has hosted the program.

One of Radio 4’s most popular discussion programs, In Our Time explores a wide range of historical, scientific, and philosophical topics.

Melvyn’s passion for the arts, his intellectual curiosity, and his unwavering commitment to public service broadcasting over the past 60+ years have enriched the lives of millions, according to BBC Director General Tim Davie.

He has “introduced depth, insight, and humanity to our airwaves every week for more than a quarter of a century” through “In Our Time on Radio 4.” He leaves behind a remarkable body of work as well as a gold standard of excellence in broadcasting and interviewing.

“Melvyn has been a part of Radio 4’s heartbeat for over three decades,” said Mohit Bakaya, director of speech and controller.

He is considered one of the broadcasting greats because of his fierce intellect, wonderful curiosity, and extraordinary passion for knowledge.

“Despite missing him on In Our Time, he leaves behind a treasure trove of over 1, 000 archive episodes, a wealth of which is invaluable for those who love to learn. Working with him on new Radio 4 projects is a great idea.

Bragg received a Peerage in 1998 and a Companion of Honor in 2017, in addition to being an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society and The British Academy.

Sam Thompson ‘petrified’ of Olivia Attwood as Pete Wicks reveals they aren’t close

As fans are concerned about the marriage of the Love Island alum, Sam Thompson, Pete Wicks, and Olivia Attwood will all be hosting a special Loose Women &amp, Men episode today.

Pete Wicks has admitted that his best pal, Sam Thompson, is “petrified” of his close friend, Olivia Attwood. The Love Island alum, 34, who was reportedly in the ‘dog house’ with her husband, Bradley Dack, after snuggling up to Pete, 36, in Ibiza recently, will be presenting a special edition of Loose Women & Men today with the best pals, who present a weekly podcast together.

Olivia, who cryptically took to Instagram today saying she will “talk about what’s been going on soon”, speaks highly of Pete and even joked that he was her ‘type’ during their Kiss FM show. However, Sam, 32, is said to be scared of the plucky presenter as Pete opened up about their relationship.

When asked if the Made In Chelsea star gets jealous of his close friendship with Olivia, Pete said: “He supports me in everything, but I do have to remind him that he’s still number one – even though that’s a lie! Also, it’s quite funny because he’s absolutely petrified of Liv.”

Olivia responded, saying, “I don’t think I’m scary!” We both act like d**heads, but unlike many others in this field, we only act like d***heads. We are actually alright.

The perky pair recently visited the White Island, and their tongues wagging as a result.

This Morning star Olivia was said to be ‘in the doghouse’ with her footballer hubby Bradley after the raucous get-away to Ibiza, in which Olivia and Pete were seen partying with their work mates and were papped at Ocean Beach and later on a yacht together.

Olivia was spotted stumbling close to Pete, who wrapped her arm around her while she relaxed out at sea while sporting a sizzling black bikini. After Bradley’s amused team-mates shared the photos on Gillingham’s WhatsApp group, Olivia’s husband of two years is said to have been left ‘livid’ by the photos.

Sam, Pete’s pal, posed a question about the drama in the most recent episode of their Staying Relevant podcast, and he responded with a remark. When Sam was questioned about what he believed would occur, TOWIE legend Pete responded, “Going to get off my t*ts”!

He continued, “Liv and I on work trips, what usually happens is we get to the airport early, and by the time we step onto the flight, we are intoxicated.”

Olivia, by contrast, has maintained an open letter to Pete, who calls him his “work wife.” She revealed to Pete in an episode of their radio show that he was her “type” before their trip to Spain. She is currently single and has split up with Maura Higgins earlier this year.

And she has now taken to Instagram with a cryptic message, sharing: “We can chat about what’s going on soon. I know you have questions, but just not this week, because if you haven’t noticed – I’m kinda busy.”
