Prince Harry baffled when quizzed over Taylor Swift after she snubs Meghan

Taylor Swift reportedly turned down several invitations to be on the Duchess of Sussex’s now-axed podcast, and after those snubs, Prince Harry seemed to have no knowledge of the singer’s latest antics

Prince Harry appeared to draw a blank when questioned about Taylor Swift’s drama with Charli XCX in an awkward moment that comes after the Life of a Showgirl singer snubbed his wife.

Taylor seems to have made an effort to keep her distance from the royal couple, and was reported to have turned down not one, but two separate invitations to appear on Meghan’s podcasts. The Duchess of Sussex hosted Archetypes and Confessions of a Female Founder, which have both now been scrapped.

The awkwardness continues as Harry has now been filmed looking baffled when asked about Taylor’s recent album and her rumoured feud with Charli XCX. The prince was quizzed about the pair’s respective ‘ diss tracks ‘ and the ensuing drama, but instead of answering, he just looked confused.

This happened during an interview with US comedian Hasan Minhaj. The comedian asked Harry: “What do you think of this Charli XCX Taylor Swift beef?”

Harry answered: “The what”? Despite the prince’s obvious lack of knowledge about the tensions between the two singers, Hasan continued and asked what Harry thought of Charli’s ‘ diss track ‘ Sympathy Is A Knife.

The song, which appeared on the album Brat, is thought to be about Charli’s insecurities and how being around Taylor made them worse. Taylor is said to have written her song Actually Romantic, which slams the object of the song as obsessive and mean, as a response.

The prince, who seemed to have no idea what Hasan was talking about, could only crack a smile and slowly nod. His lack of knowledge when it comes to Taylor is very different to his brother, Prince William, who was seen dancing and singing along to Shake It Off at the singer’s Eras Tour last year.

The singer also snapped a selfie with the prince and two of his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

This isn’t the first time the pop princess and English prince have met. Taylor and Jon Bon Jovi performed together at a 2013 charity concert, and the two actually sang together.

In a later speech, she praised the prince for his charitable work. Prince William, I want to thank you for having me. It is incredible. To draw attention to teenagers and young adults in particular.

He was “very funny” and not a bad singer, she continued. His voice was good, and I could hear it. a pleasant mood. I’d say he has a star quality, and I’ll be there if he ever wants me to sing along.

Meghan, like her brother-in-law, is reportedly a huge Swiftie who also went on the Eras Tour in 2023. Despite Meghan reportedly sending a personal letter, the two parties are believed to have disagreed, as Taylor refused to allow Meghan to appear on her podcasts.

Australia name Edmed at fly-half to face England

After last weekend’s win over Japan, Tane Edmed, Max Jorgensen, and Taniela Tupou, all of whom have been called back, will start for Australia at fly-half when they take on England at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

The Wallabies are still without several European-based players, including lock Will Skelton, center Len Ikitau, and fly-half James O’Connor because the game is approaching the end of the official international window.

Edmed will face a difficult test on Saturday against England’s highly skilled George Ford, who has only started three Tests for the fledgling Wallabies.

The 25-year-old’s rival flyhalf Carter Gordon is reportedly struggling with a quad strain and is not participating in the matchday 23 despite having a release from his NRL contract to resume his rugby union career.

On the bench, Hamish Stewart will provide fly-half cover.

Suaalii, a former rugby league star, made his spectacular Test debut with a score of 42-37 in the final seconds of Jorgensen’s winning try at Twickenham last year.

Hunter Paisami will continue his center partnership with Suaalii in place of Ikitau, who has been in excellent form for Prem side Exeter.

Tupou, the 23-stone tight-head prop known as the “Togan Thor,” last appeared for the Wallabies before New Zealand beat them in September.

Rob Valetini and Fraser McReight complete a strong back row, while regular captain Harry Wilson switches to the number eight. The skipper of last week’s meeting, Nick Champion de Crespigny, is one of the replacements.

Australia defeated Japan 19-15 in Tokyo on Saturday, finishing third overall in the rugby championship, and then flew to England.

This autumn, the Wallabies, who are seventh in the world, will also face Italy, Ireland, and France.

Head coach Joe Schmidt remarked, “The coaches have tried to balance this year’s challenging schedule with the demands of this year’s tough schedule in terms of Test matches and travel.”

“We hope the group will be really competitive on Saturday because it was great to get a few players up last weekend.

Kellaway, Jorgensen, Suaalii, Paisami, Potter, Edmed, Gordon, Bell, Pollard, Tupuo, Frost, Williams, Valentini, McReight, McReight, and Wilson (capt.) start XV.

Loose Women star suffering from painful health condition as she explains her appearance

After talking with Dr. Zoe, Nadia Sawalha describes how painful her painful medical condition has left her face feeling “bruised.” She explains why her swollen appearance is so painful.

Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha is suffering from a painful health condition as she opens up about her appearance and her experience chatting to Dr Zoe Williams.

During the show on Thursday, 30 October, Jane Moore asked Nadia the reason she had her glasses on and opted for a no-makeup look. Nadia joked that in the past, if she wore her glasses, then people would think she was hungover, before she explained that her face felt ‘bruised’ due to her stress levels.

She explained that at first, she thought it was an allergy before saying, “My lovely doctor Zoe came and saw me, I had my own appointment with her in my dressing room, and I told her, honestly Zoe, I think it’s stress,” and she later said, “I think it’s an allergy.”

Nadia outlined Zoe’s suggestion for deep breaths and some “time out.” Nadia continued, “I cry a little bit and then I stop,” adding that she hadn’t cried properly in “two or three years.” That is what I, for real. Why do we believe that stress doesn’t affect our bodies? She continued to thank Zoe and called her a “special woman.”

The Loose Women panellist also shared a video on her Instagram page where she revealed her sister couldn’t believe she was going on live TV ‘looking like that’. Nadia revealed her sister said she looked like she ‘had three bottles of sauvignon blanc’ and had ‘fallen asleep in a hedge’.

One fan wrote, “Bless you Nadia, I hope it clears up quickly;” while another, “Ohhh Nadia, I love how strong and humble you are. Even with puffy eyes, you are gorgeous inside and out. Hope things improve.

It follows after Nadia recently opened up on her 23-year marriage, revealing that it nearly ended over her husband’s intense jealousy. The 60-year-old married husband Mark Adderley in 2002 and has previously opened up about hurdles in their relationship.

Nadia spoke in the past about her husband achieving sobriety after struggling with alcohol for many years and being diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder and depression back in 2021. Now, the TV personality has revealed that after quitting alcohol, Mark began to suffer with jealousy.

Nadia told the ITV show: “My kids hate it what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger but I think that it probably has with Mark and I. I think about when things have been really tough in our marriage and we’ve thought, ‘God we’re not going to get through this’ but then we do.

For him, it would have been during my menopause, when I screamed banshee nutter. I had a lot of trouble and was awful.

Nadia criticized him for his behavior, saying that “he’s been brilliant with his sobriety and then he’s been cross-addicted to jealousy and the jealousy was just awful.” It was terrible.

I told couples’ counselors that we wouldn’t survive unless we worked on this. I love him even more because he has worked on that, which is something that has made me love him.

Man Utd won’t rush Martinez return after injury

Even though head coach Ruben Amorim is pleased that the combative defender has returned to training, Manchester United will continue to hold it when Lisandro Martinez recovers from knee surgery.

The Argentine center-back has been out since February after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in Crystal Palace’s home defeat.

One of the reasons Amorim won’t be giving in to the player’s desire for an immediate return for the trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, November 1 will be based on that past.

The United boss said, “He wants to go to this one.” He won’t go to this one; instead, he’ll take time.

He has begun training with us, but we had to make some changes to the exercises to make them better gradually.

However, having another member of his six-man leadership group join the main squad will be a significant boost for the United boss, after previously saying his squad was “starved” of leaders.

Amorim downplays Dyche’s 4-2-4-2 jibe

Amorim and Sean Dyche have their first encounter at the City Ground since the new Forest manager claimed earlier in 2025 that using a traditional 4-4-2 formation would have won more games than the former Sporting boss.

Dyche and Sam Allardyce agreed that Amorim had been fortunate to survive the miserable form that saw United finish 15th in the Premier League last year in a podcast conversation.

When United had taken 27 points out of 28 league games, Dyche claimed that the philosophy was still in use but was no longer effective.

“It’s possible that I could win more games if I kept my 4-4-2.” Because they might bring in three big hitters over the summer, I might be mistaken. However, it is Man United. Normally speaking, you wouldn’t be able to endure that circumstance.

The 40-year-old said he understood why Dyche had made those remarks when they were made during Amorim’s press conference prior to the Forest game.

He countered, “Perhaps it’s true if we play 4-4-2 we would have won more games, but I’ve always said that my style of play will take some time.”

But then, I can see how both Sean Dyche and his team operate.

I don’t want to watch you if you’re a pundit and don’t use too much force. The same applies to me.
