The couple celebrated Christmas with Brooklyn’s siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Victoria with David, Victoria, and Brooklyn. David and the rest of the Beckhams appeared to be gently nudge Brooklyn once more on social media. On social media, David shared a vintage photo of himself with Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. Cruz responded to a similar image with the message “Love you guys”

Meanwhile, Victoria shared a video of her mother Jackie Adams’ Christmas decorations, which included a personalised stocking for Brooklyn. Despite this, a source told The Mirror that the Beckhams are “coming to terms” with spending the holiday without their son.

David and Victoria are accepting that Brooklyn is no longer as present. They are saddened but accepting it. According to the source, “But the grandmothers are feeling it,” she says. They adored Brooklyn because they bonded with him so deeply. They no longer see him because he had a deep love for them.

Rumors of a family feud were first alleged to have started in 2022 when Victoria was supposed to create Nicola’s wedding dress, but the bride ended up wearing Valentino.

These rumors were disproven, though Nicola and Brooklyn continue to be important family members. The rumors started to spread again in 2025 as Brooklyn began to cover up more and more of his family’s happenings and as he and his brothers appeared to stop following each other on Instagram.

A source has said to the Mail that Brooklyn would be open to ending the feud, if he and Nicola get a public apology from David and Victoria. They said: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”

The athlete attended an Eras Tour concert in Kansas City himself in the summer of 2023 as Taylor’s mum opened up about how the two started dating.

Before their relationship became public in September 2023, Travis and Taylor started talking privately and went on their first date in New York City. At first, they initially avoided the public eye during their time together.

Fans may be wondering who Taylor had previously been dating, though. What we know about the relationship between the actress and the boyfriend.

Before Travis Kelce, who was Taylor Swift’s first love?

As the two were photographed together in a movie theater together, rumors started to surface that Taylor was dating The 1975 singer Matty Healy in 2023. Prior to their split, he reportedly skipped the entire Hereras tour. Both parties confirmed nothing, though.

As reports of a romance between Taylor and Matty surfaced in 2014, they were not at all strangers.

A significant storm is anticipated to hit their neighborhood over the holiday season, which could cause Prince Harry and Meghan to experience a washout.

The Montecito Association issued a warning about the upcoming weather to members, understood to include the royal couple, in an email sent out on Friday night. It said: “The National Weather Service is forecasting a major storm for Santa Barbara County that is expected to occur Tuesday, December 23 through Thursday, December 25.

“Councilwide, dangerous flash flooding, dangerous flooding, and strong winds are possible,” the statement states. Evacuations are NOT currently being issued, it added. Leave the area before the rain starts if you worry that this storm may create unsafe conditions for your home. Don’t wait for an official evacuation notification before departing.

Public safety officials are closely monitoring the incoming storm to determine whether necessary protective measures, such as an evacuation order, evacuation orders, or shelter, are required.

The newsletter, signed off by Montecito Association Executive Director Houghton Hyatt, included advice on what to do if the National Weather Service issues a flash flood warning, as well as detailed tips on how to prepare for the expected rain. The area of Santa Barbara has previously experienced devastation due to bad weather, including a mudslide that hit Montecito in January of this year that claimed 23 lives..

The new warning came just hours after Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, shared a new family photo of themselves with their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, alongside a Christmas message. In the image, shared on Instagram, Archie was seen hugging his father, while Meghan could be seen bending down and holding hands with Lilibet while standing on a small, wooden bridge in woodland.

Happy Holidays! was a message Meghan sent me. From your family to ours. The Archewell Foundation, which has since changed its name to Archewell Philanthropies, has also been released by the duke and duchess separately, along with a Christmas card and end-of-year video.

The charity was established in 2020 after the couple stepped down from royal duties and moved to the US. Announcing the name change, a spokeswoman for Harry and Meghan said: “This next chapter allows Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to broaden their global philanthropic efforts as a family, with meaningful reach and maximum impact, grounded in the same values, partnerships, and their commitment to show up and do good.”

Reacting to the news, PR to the stars Mayah Riaz told the Mirror: “From a branding perspective, this is a smart and I’d say quite deliberate evolution rather than a reinvention. Moving from ‘Foundation’ to ‘Philanthropies’ signals scale, maturity and longevity. In branding terms, it’s a way of future proofing the name as their work expands beyond individual projects.”

She continued, “I believe this has a reputational message.” Philanthropies feel more global, institutionalized, and less intimate. At this point, that may be beneficial for Harry and Meghan because it shifts their attention away from personalities and shifts it to impact, outcomes, and credibility.

It establishes Archewell as something that could stand alone, even without their names being at the forefront. The five-year mark is important in terms of timing. Five years is typically when you either secretly fade or consciously level up in celebrity and public figure branding. They appear to be claiming to be committed to this for the long run.
