Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have reached the milestone that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been preparing for since announcing their return to Britain: both children are now attending school in the United Kingdom.
Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, have begun the new school year, PEOPLE reported on September 10. It is the first time either child has attended school in Britain, although details about the school and the family's new home are being kept private.
A source close to Harry and Meghan said getting the children settled "has been, and remains, their focus" since the family relocated from California. "There is a lot to do. They have just moved halfway across the world, and it's been really busy getting the kids settled," the source said.
The Sussexes arrived in Britain in late August after six years based primarily in California. Their move and the children's enrollment were announced several weeks before classes began, but the new update confirms that Archie and Lilibet have now made the transition into their first British school year.
The September start represents different firsts for the two children. Archie was born in London in May 2019 and spent part of his infancy in Britain, but he moved to North America with his parents before reaching school age. Lilibet was born in California in June 2021 and has only previously visited her father's home country.

Prince Harry reportedly wants to work on his relationship with Kate Middleton. According to an insider, he seemingly would want to mend fences with his sister-in-law. It was said that Prince William "won't speak to him." Therefore, Harry might try to seek Middleton's help to make amends with his brother.
For those unversed, the Duke of Sussex has returned to the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle. They arrived on August 26 with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Prince Harry would reportedly like to repair his and Kate Middleton's relationship. They used to share a close, comfortable bond. But things turned sour after the Sussexes moved to California. Now, they have returned to the duke's homeland; therefore, Harry might want to make amends with his sister-in-law.
A source told the National Examiner that Harry would approach Middleton even if he had to do it behind his brother's back. He seems to believe that the Princess of Wales can help her mend fences with Prince William. "With everything that is going on, Harry feels he needs to have some sort of dialogue with his brother's camp, and since William won't speak to him, it just makes sense to go to Kate," they said.
Furthermore, the insider suggested that Harry thinks Middleton will need the "most straightforward path" to reach out to the royals. "He hates to put her in the middle, but he says he doesn't feel like he has any other choice because William is continuing to be so stubborn." According to them, the future queen seemed to be "more reasonable" than her husband.

The content creator received a bill of over $100,000 for five nights spent at the hospital. She spent her first two nights in the emergency room on a gurney in the hallway. She was not given a privacy curtain on either night.
But by the third night, she did have her own little ******* e with some privacy in the ER. On her fourth night, she was in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) with other patients. However, during her final night, she was finally ******* igned a private room.
In addition to the delay in getting a private room, she listed other shortcomings of the hospital. For instance, she couldn't eat anything.

NASHVILLE - "It's Sure Gonna Hurt" - After nearly two decades, Rayna and Deacon face the facts of their storied and often tempestuous relationship. Scarlett makes a startling self-discovery in between tour dates while Gunnar performs with one of his idols, rock-music legend Sir Elton John, who guest stars as himself. Luke stops by "The View" to trumpet a worthy cause-before a family emergency pulls his focus. Elsewhere, Juliette struggles to make a connection, and Layla launches her album at The Bluebird. Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Raven Symon and Paula Faris guest star as themselves on "Nashville," WEDNESDAY, MAY 18 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

Hayden Panettiere, known to many of us as the cheerleader who couldn't be broken on Heroes and the country western star who came apart on Nashville, died this week in her South Carolina home at the age of 36. She left behind an eleven-year-old daughter called Kaya. Her cause of death is not yet known.
The public response to her death has followed a familiar refrain: the tragic trajectory of a child star whose bright light cast longer shadows. But Panettiere's story is also one of a young woman who fought hard to reclaim her narrative, and was willing to drag the darkest parts of it into the light, even when doing so made people uncomfortable.
Her 2026 memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, detailed a near-death labor and postpartum psychological spiral, an opioid and alcohol addiction that predated her daughter's birth by more than a decade, and the very difficult decision to give her daughter's father, former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, full custody of their daughter in 2018. It was a story that gave a voice to a subject and a stigma that so many women have been unable to face openly for fear of shame, judgment and retribution. And perhaps that makes her sudden death all the more tragic, and opens up an important question that deserves to be confronted: what, exactly, do we mean when we say "good mother"?

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are ready to follow in the footsteps of friends Tom Holland and Zendaya by tying the knot privately, a source tells In Touch.
"They love that Zendaya and Tom were able to get married without anyone knowing it was happening," the source says of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day costars, who recently hosted a starry wedding celebration in Surrey, England after secretly exchanging vows two months ago.
"No one got photos, it's all been ultra private and protected, and privacy is the new luxury among celebrities … so of course Kylie is drawn to that," adds the source.
Having grown up in front of the cameras, "her whole life has been commodified," the source says of the reality TV star, 29, who shares daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 4, with ex Travis Scott.
"You can't blame her for wanting to do the same sort of thing: get married and then drop some vague hints later," notes the source. "She might go as far as sharing some photos, but if Timothee has his way, they won't even do that."

Dax Shepard, the actor and Armchair Expert podcast host, has revealed his lifelong attraction to muscular men. He discussed his relationship with fitness and the childhood experiences he believes played a role in this fascination while speaking with Taron Egerton on his podcast on August 10. "I f—— love men's bodies more than anything in the world," Shepard confessed.
The 51-year-old actor and comedian said his interest in muscular bodies started when he was young and was heavily influenced by the action stars he watched on screen. While expressing his fascination, he said, "I love muscle so much."
He then went back to his childhood and remembered watching Conan the Barbarian. This is the movie that helped make Arnold Schwarzenegger a major Hollywood star. "Well, for me, I'll explain it as like being born in '75, and it was like my first drive-in movie was Conan the Barbarian," Shepard said.
Referring to Sylvester Stallone, he added, "I was just like, wait a minute, a man can look like a gorilla, and then Stallone was at his height. It was like the birth of muscles."
For Shepard, his fascination with muscles eventually became connected to his childhood. "I grew up in a house with a violent stepdad beating everyone up," he revealed. He explained that seeing Schwarzenegger's powerful physique made him feel that being strong could protect him. "So, when I saw Conan, I was like, 'Oh, if I look like that, I got no problems for the rest of my life.' So that just, that was like, 'Yeah, … If I was Conan, I got no problems," Shepard said.

The shoes were held in place by a delicate, slender arch strap that extended over the toes. The shoes featured a round, slightly oversized toe silhouette that peeked out beneath the hem of her wide-leg trousers. She paired the heels with a look from the Fendi fall 2026 couture collection. The sleeveless top featured a tunic-like design with embellished, beaded detailing that gave the garment a cage, armor-like effect.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle finally had their reunion with King Charles amid a long-running royal family rift.
The couple, along with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, joined the monarch at his Highgrove residence along with Queen Camilla for a private and intimate meeting.
However, despite details of the meeting being kept under wraps, a royal expert has claimed that the reunion wasn't "entirely warm," especially for Meghan Markle.
Speaking to Page Six, royal expert Christopher Andersen claimed that Meghan didn't have the best time during her reunion with King Charles and Camilla.
The former actress and her husband's trip to the UK was plagued by surprising drama over security, alongside confusion over the monarch's invitation for the Sussexes to stay at a royal residence during their time in the country, an offer that was later revoked.

Barbara Eden reflected on her experience working alongside Elvis Presley, saying the music icon never received the recognition she believes he deserved as an actor.
The I Dream of Jeannie star, 94, also worked on films alongside screen legends including Presley, Paul Newman and Fred Astaire.
In 1960, she was cast alongside Presley in the western Flaming Star. Featuring just two songs, the dramatic film was a big change from his previous musical comedy, G.I. Blues, which included 11 songs and spawned a best-selling soundtrack released the same year.
Flaming Star was not a huge box office hit, and Presley was then pushed back into musical films for the remainder for his screen roles.
But speaking to Entertainment Weekly during Project Angel Food's Lead With Love telethon, Eden praised her former costar's dramatic abilities and suggested his film career could have taken a different path.

Speaking with "The Telegraph," Christina Hamilton, a former classmate and friend of Swift's, recounted their high school years.
The interviewer said that she had been told that Swift was a bit of an "outsider" and "wishing that she was dating the football player," though she never actually dated one.
Hamilton said that she never saw Swift in that way. In fact, she (Hamilton) thought she was the outsider and that Swift was the "pretty, popular girl" and added that "everyone loved her," referring to Swift.

Dave Portnoy, the founder and owner of the renowned sports and popular culture company Barstool Sports, has suggested that he is considering running against current NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The 49-year-old businessman, in a recent interview, berated the Working Families Party leader by insinuating that he would do much better work in office since he has had experience doing a "real job."
During his recent conversation with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Portnoy expressed his intentions to challenge Zohran Mamdani for NYC's mayoral seat, before referring to him as a "clown politician."
"I would love to run against [Mamdani]," he told Watters. "If I was going to run, it would be here. Can I win here? I have no idea. I don't know the demographics, whether I'd get enough votes. There's a lot of people who like me in New York City."
Portnoy continued, "I know that. I've done a lot of good in New York City when I wasn't thinking about politics…so it wasn't for show. I've had a real job, I've done real things. Unlike these clown politicians who have never had a job and never been in the real world for a day."
Portnoy reasoned his eligibility for the role of NYC mayor over Zohran Mamdani by listing two of his past ventures. He pointed out the Barstool Fund he launched in 2020, which has since raised $41.6 million to aid small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Portnoy also highlighted his popular YouTube series, One Bite Pizza Reviews, where he, as the name suggests, recommends pizza places to people.

The journey to stardom is rarely straightforward, with many of today's biggest celebrities finding their big breaks in the most unpredictable moments. Whether stumbled upon in diners or discovered on jumbotrons, these stars prove that luck, timing, and a bit of serendipity can truly change lives. Here's a look at the unique and unexpected paths that launched these stars' careers.
Natalie Portman's Hollywood fate was sealed while she was just grabbing a simple slice of pizza after dance class. An agent from Revlon spotted her and changed her life forever with a single conversation, as reported by Biography. That serendipitous moment launched one of the most celebrated acting careers of her generation.
Sometimes the jumbotron really is a ticket to fame. Pamela Anderson's infectious energy and beauty were first broadcast to thousands during a BC Lions Canadian Football League game at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, instantly making her a national sensation and paving the way for her to become TV's iconic "C.J. Parker," per Daily Hive. She's since become both an entertainment powerhouse and a passionate animal rights activist.
A regular night out in Iowa City turned into a turning point for Ashton Kutcher. Discovered by a modeling scout at The Airliner bar while attending the University of Iowa, he won the "Fresh Faces of Iowa" competition and was soon on his way to New York, as reported by The Daily Iowan. His all-American charm quickly led to a career-making role on That '70s Show. From there, his charisma and comedic timing made him a staple in Hollywood.
Before stadiums and chart-topping hits, Ed Sheeran played wherever he could and networked tirelessly. His big break came after impressing Jamie Foxx so much that the Oscar-winning actor invited him to stay at his Hollywood home — a move Sheeran credits with getting his career off the ground, according to Variety. Hard work and hustle, backed by a bit of kindness, changed everything for the singer-songwriter.
