According to an expert, Prince Harry and Prince William never seemed to be as close as the general public had thought.
The Duke of Sussex mentioned in an explosive interview that he wanted to “reconciliation” with his family and that he had made an indirect reference to Prince William, his brother.
The Duke continued, “Of course, some members of my family will never pardon me for writing a book.” They will never, after all, forgive me for many things. But you’re aware that I’d prefer family reconciliation. There is no point in fighting any longer, as I’ve always said.
Life is precious, I said, and I was right. It would be nice to reconcile with my father, who I don’t know how long he has been hiding from me because of this security stuff. “

Royal historian and expert Dr. Tessa Dunlop said: “Harry was aware of what he was doing.” There is a great deal of sadness there. However, I wonder if this united family confection, which we’ve been sold on right from the beginning of Elizabeth and Phillip’s marriage, doesn’t cause us to feel that sadness more. “
William and Harry were “shoulder to shoulder, brothers in the face of their mother’s death, brothers in the face of their parents’ imploding marriage,” she continued, “William and Harry, brothers shoulder to shoulder, brothers in the face of these big British events,” despite the fact that “we were never sold.”
Harry laid it out in this manner, and that is what he did. So I wonder if that makes them feel as bad on a personal level because Harry claims that they were never truly the friends we were led to believe they were. “
Harry’s actions are in opposition to his claims that he wants to reconcile with his family, according to the author.
She said, “On the one hand, he claims to want reconciliation and doesn’t know how long his father will live. but still pressing painful buttons and deeply personal ones at the same time as actually detonating yet another bomb, essentially putting his father in jeopardy for not receiving the level of security he seeks.
Harry’s claims, according to Tessa, contradict his actions.
He really implies that the King is engaging in unconstitutional meddling… They say things like that, but they are His Majesty’s courts… There is a strange contradiction in there because Harry is aware that it won’t make his father any closer to him and won’t make him friends in the palace. “
The Sussexes have publicly criticised The Firm on numerous occasions since the couple left royal life, revealing intimate details with Harry’s family for the public. They have all but been separated from the royal family due to numerous bombshells, with Prince William reportedly being particularly upset about his brother’s “betrayal.”
The conflict between the brothers has grown in recent years, with Harry’s tell-all book being regarded as William’s last resort. The Prince and Princess of Wales’ alleged friends have previously stated to The Daily Beast that “Both sides understand one another’s position very well.” Harry’s memoir completely betrayed William and Catherine. They stay away from Harry and Meghan. “

Victoria Beckham couldn’t keep her hands off husband David as they kicked off his 50th birthday weekend celebrations.
Posting a video of them dancing to the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers hit song Islands in the Stream on Instagram, the pair looked more loved up than ever as they geared up to mark David’s milestone birthday.
Before Victoria kissed him repeatedly as he sang along to the hit song, David wrapped his arms around his wife’s shoulders. The fashion designer, who turned 50 last year, wrote, “Happy birthday eve @ David Beckham… my everything. My lifelong dance partner, best friend, and soul mate. We can ride it together, like the song says “We start and end as one, In love forever, We can ride it together,” ah ha. I love you xxxxxxxx.
One fan wrote, “This is the love we all want,” and the others were quick to respond. Another joke read, “Imagine grabbing his arm, omg.” A third chimed in, “I’ll have what she’s having”! “Dream couple” is a fourth post! While a fifth added, “Sweetest couple ever,”

Showing it’s one of their favourite tunes, the couple were filmed prancing around line dancing style to the Dolly hit in their Cotswolds home. The video later amassed over 100 million views on TikTok and led to couples around the world copying it to see if their partner would spontaneously join in, as David did.
In another clip looking back at his life that starts with the words ‘There’s only one David Beckham’, Victoria, 51, gushed: “When I look at this video, I think, ‘Wow… how lucky am I!!’ You’re everything I could have dreamed of and more. Happy 50th @davidbeckham!!! I love you and our beautiful family endlessly. You complete me xxx.”
After tied the knot in a memorable wedding in Dublin in July 1999, David and Victoria recited their vows in front of 300 guests at a castle in Dublin before sat on thrones and donned matching purple outfits, later this year.
The pair met two years earlier in 1997 at a Manchester United charity match when Victoria was just 22 and David 21. Victoria has recalled how it was ‘love at first sight’. They got engaged a year later and welcomed eldest son Brooklyn just a few months before they said ‘I do.’
Brooklyn, Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, Cruz, 20, and Harper, age 13, are now proud parents to them. Despite having a stellar football career, David recently admitted that being a father is more important than anything else. The most fulfilling experience of my life has been raising my two beautiful children.

As tensions with neighboring India continue to rise over a deadly shooting attack in Indian-administered Kashmir last month, Pakistan’s military claims to have successfully tested fired a ballistic missile.
According to Pakistan’s government, an exercise on Saturday included the testing of the surface-to-surface missile known as the Abdali Weapon System, which has a range of 450 kilometers (280 miles).
The launch, according to the statement, “aims to verifying key technical parameters, such as the missile’s advanced navigation system and enhanced maneuverability features, and ensuring the operational readiness of troops.”
The tactical missile, which can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, was named in honor of the 18th-century founder of contemporary Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Abdali, who orchestrated numerous invasions of the Indian subcontinent.
The scientists, engineers, and those responsible for the successful missile test received congratulations from Pakistan’s president Asif Ali Zardari and prime minister Shehbaz Sharif.
As part of Ex INDUS, Pakistan successfully launched the surface-to-surface missile with a range of 450 kilometers, the Abdali Weapon System.

Three days after Pakistan’s information minister Attaullah Tarar claimed that Islamabad had “credible intelligence” that India intended to launch a military attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in response to the killing of 25 male tourists and a Kashmiri last month.
India and Pakistan both have control over some of the Kashmir region, while asserting full control over the rest. Since their independence from British rule in 1947, they have experienced frequent spikes in tension over the issue.
Islamabad is accused of supporting the April 22 attack by suspected Kashmiri rebels in the picturesque Pahalgam region and alleges that Pakistani citizens were involved in the killings. Pakistan has denied having participed in the attack.
According to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he has promised to pursue those who had supported the attack “to the ends of the Earth” by giving his military “full operational freedom” to react.
The Indian leaders want to use the Pahalgam attack as a “false pretext,” according to Pakistani minister Tarar, adding that Pakistan might be struck by Pakistan.
According to a military statement, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Syed Asim Munir, presided over a meeting of his top commanders on Friday regarding the “current Pakistan-India standoff.”
Munir “understood the crucial value of proactive readiness and increased vigilance across all fronts.”
India and Pakistan have exchanged diplomatic rebukes and expulsions and closed border crossings since the attack, which has been the deadliest in Kashmir civilians in years. India also halted its participation in the Pakistan-India Indus Waters Treaty of 1960.
Pakistan has threatened to suspend its participation in the 1972 Simla Agreement, which supports the LoC, while the two nuclear-armed countries have also engaged in gunfire along the militarized Line of Control (LoC), which divides Kashmir in the process.
On Saturday (18:00 BST), the World Mixed Doubles Championship final will take on Italy.
After finishing second in the round-robin stage and defeating the United States 7-5 in their qualification game in New Brunswick, Canada, 2022 Olympic champion Jen Dodds and 2022 silver medalist Bruce Mouat overcame Australia 9-6 in the semi-finals.
Stefania Constantini and Anton Mosaner, both from Italy, won the match 7-5 against Estonia in the standings.
According to Mouat, the 2025 World Men’s Championship winner, “We’re just enjoying being out there right now” and “we’ve got a lot of confidence right now.”
“We had two really tough games today, and we’re looking forward to the last one,” I’m pleased with how we played.
The 2021 competition was won by Dodds and Mouat on home turf, and Bobby Lammie and Eve Muirhead won it in Geneva, Switzerland. Italy are in the first final.
“Jen and I have worked very hard to just get back to this point, and we’ve had a really good mixed doubles season,” said Mouat.
Nicola McLean, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 and 2017, criticizes Jack P Shepherd, who also appeared in the show, and claims she was blocked by a finalist.

Former Celebrity Big Brother favourite Nicola McLean has hit out at Celebrity Big Brother winner Jack P Shepherd in a brutally honest rant while also revealing she’s been blocked on Instagram by one of this year’s finalists despite being a vocal supporter.
Nicola, who appeared on the hit reality show in the 2012 and 2017 seasons, was open about her disappointment with the results this year. Before the unanticipated snub, the glamour model and TV personality admitted she was rooting for a different finalist. She is known for her unfiltered commentary and iconic rows in the CBB house.
She exclusively stated, “I absolutely loved him! ” when it was revealed that Danny Beard had blocked her. He was always my winner, I’ve always been that way.

“I love a gay, we know this. I’m so part of the LGBTQ+ community, I absolutely support it. But here’s the kicker, he blocked me on Instagram. I was shocked. I hadn’t posted anything bad, only support.”
She continued, “I think his management did it, or perhaps he has a filter for certain words, but I hadn’t even tagged him yet”!
Continue reading the article.
“I was so tempted to email and ask why supporting someone would block me, but I then realized what the point was. Still, it was disappointing.

Nicola then turned her sights on Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd, who was crowned winner of the ITV reboot weeks ago. “Jack didn’t deserve to win. I don’t know how he won,” she said.
“Can you tell me how I went in twice, entertained the nation, drank a lot of prosecco, and he drank tea, sat quietly, and triumphed?” It’s gutting, to be honest.
The outspoken contestant then demanded that contestants’ methods of compensation be reconsidered. She said, “I believe they should change the way they do fees because it should reward the most entertaining.”

“People always make up fees,” they say. Someone once said, “Where the hell did you get that from? I got $7,500 for I’m a Celebrity,” and I called the journalist. No one does it “for that little” purpose.
“But to get back to the point: it’s wrong to go there, sit there, and take the money,” she said. You were made to entertain you, I assure you.
Nicola, who famously clashed with Kim Woodburn and had memorable moments with Jedward in her time on Celebrity Big Brother, remains one of the most talked-about housemates in the show’s history – and clearly hasn’t lost her fiery edge.
