An expert has explained Prince Harry's decision to shield Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from public attention. The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex have been fiercely protective of their kids' privacy since their births. To date, the couple has avoided releasing full-face images of the royal children.
A royal expert has offered insight into why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children have largely stayed out of view.
According to Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the Duke's own upbringing is key to understanding his parenting approach. Having spent his entire childhood in front of the cameras, Harry is now hyper-aware of what constant public attention can do.
Speaking on the A Right Royal podcast, Wilkinson explained, "My understanding of this, or up to a certain stage, is that Harry would much rather his children were not seen. He doesn't want them to be tapped."
As reported by the Daily Express, he further noted that Markle brings a different perspective to the decision. Having had a private California upbringing, she likely wouldn't feel the same instinct to keep them out of sight.

Ray Fisher became internationally recognizable as the technologically enhanced superhero Cyborg, but his career began far from the world of comic book blockbusters. The American actor developed his craft through theater before making the leap to major Hollywood productions. His upbringing, particularly the influence of his mother and grandmother, helped shape the values he later carried into his professional life. When Fisher encountered difficulties behind the scenes of Justice League, he chose to speak publicly about his experience. That decision became an important part of a career increasingly ****** ociated with both performance and workplace accountability.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Fisher grew up in Lawnside, New Jersey, in a large family raised primarily by his mother and grandmother. He has described both women as his real life superheroes, praising the determination and strength they demonstrated while he was growing up. His interest in acting became serious during high school, when encouragement from a teacher led him to audition for theatrical productions.
Fisher continued developing as a stage performer and eventually established himself in professional theater. One of his most demanding early roles was Muhammad Ali in the Off Broadway production Fetch Clay, Make Man. Preparing to portray the legendary boxer required substantial physical transformation as well as the ability to capture Ali's confidence and personality. The experience demonstrated the discipline Fisher could bring to a role before Hollywood audiences became familiar with him.
His major screen opportunity arrived when Zack Snyder selected him to play Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg, in the DC film universe. Fisher made a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before receiving a much larger role in Justice League. Production changed significantly after Snyder left the project and Joss Whedon took over during post production. The theatrical version released in 2017 reduced much of Cyborg's original storyline.
In 2020, Fisher publicly accused Whedon of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior during the Justice League reshoots. WarnerMedia subsequently conducted an investigation after Fisher raised concerns involving the production. In December 2020, the company announced that the investigation had concluded and that remedial action had been taken, without publicly detailing what those measures involved.

Christy Carlson Romano knows how to play a role, but finding herself has proven to be her greatest performance.
The Emmy-nominated actress and Disney Channel alum looks back on her turbulent upbringing in the spotlight in her debut memoir "Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Fall and Rise of a Child Star" (out now).
Romano, alongside fellow Disney darlings Shia LaBeouf, Hilary Duff and Raven-Symoné, epitomized teen stardom in the early 2000s, appearing in beloved TV shows and movies such as "Even Stevens," "Cadet Kelly" and "Kim Possible."
Despite her success, Romano often felt adrift in young Hollywood, intimidated by the upper echelons of prime-time dramas and glossy magazine covers.
"Looking back, I was really just trying to fit into whatever opportunity was thrown my way, rather than kind of create my own identity so that opportunities would find me in a different light," Romano tells USA TODAY. "I didn't have a stylist or a publicist, and I didn't really invest in myself the way that maybe I should have, to get to know exactly who I wanted to be, even if [that] changed over the years."

Sebastian Stan made Fjord before becoming a father. In his latest conversation with Josh Horowitz on Happy Sad Confused, the actor described returning to the film with a different perspective.
"What are these things that I grew up with that I should pass on to my kid?" he asked, according to Entertainment Weekly. He was also considering which experiences had not served him well and should not be repeated.
Stan, 44, and his partner, actress Annabelle Wallis, welcomed their first child in July. PEOPLE confirmed the birth on Aug. 3; the couple had not shared further details about the baby at that point.
In Cristian Mungiu's drama, Stan and Renate Reinsve play Mihai and Lisbet Gheorghiu. The film won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Mihai is a devout Romanian father who moves with his Norwegian wife and their five children to a remote coastal village. The children become friends with a neighboring family despite differences in their upbringing, while the adults' strict beliefs attract increasing scrutiny, according to NEON's synopsis.

A TikTok posted by creator eriniveson on July 14, 2026, shows her describing punishments she says her parents used during her childhood. The video drew over 8.7 million views and about 1.1 million likes at the time of publication.
The creator, who grew up with her mother and stepdad, begins with a trigger warning before describing what she calls "completely legal things" her parents did. "The things that I'm gonna tell you in this video are just downright cruel," she said.
She said that when something broke and no one confessed, the siblings lined up, and whoever was responsible took the punishment while the others watched. The TikToker said she often took the blame for her younger sisters so they would not get in trouble. She recalls that her stepdad usually did not carry out the corporal punishment himself, but had her mother do it when she was home and stood by to supervise.
She said her room was searched regularly. "Privacy was a privilege, not a right," she said. After her stepbrother lost $5, her parents believed she had taken it, emptied her drawers onto the floor, and made her clean up.
Even doing chores had strict rules. "Do it right or do it twice," the creator remembered. She put away dishes that had spots from the dishwasher, so her mother, who collected antique china, emptied every cabinet and buffet, and the TikToker said she had to hand-wash and dry all of it.

Ming-Na Wen
You could say cooking is in Ming-Na Wen's blood.
The Annie Award-winning actor known for Mulan, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and The Book of Boba Fett grew up completely immersed in her family's Pittsburgh-based restaurant, Chinatown Inn, which has been in constant operation for the better part of a century.
While she ultimately pursued a career in show business, Wen never forgot her deep culinary roots. Reminiscences of that upbringing, both warm and complicated, informed the writing of her autobiographical cookbook, Have You Eaten Yet?: Family Recipes from a Restaurant Daughter (now on sale from S&S/Simon Element), described as "the ultimate love letter to food and family."
"It started off as a social media thing, where I'd be posting my food," she shared with me over Zoom. "I want to say this was eight years ago, and my fans wanted the recipes. I was like, 'Oh…I don't have recipes.' So, a few years later—because I was still posting my food and they were still requesting recipes—I talked to my manager about it. He's like, 'You should write a cookbook!' And I was like, 'Yeah, whatever…' But he got me a literary agent whom I love. She and I hashed it out, and it's taken about five years for it to come to fruition."

Sempra (NYSE:SRE) added a long-term customer commitment on September 14, when its infrastructure subsidiary announced a 20-year sales and purchase agreement with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (NYSE:PBR). The agreement covers approximately 0.8 million tonnes annually of liquefied natural gas, or LNG.
Supply will come from the subsidiary's contracted liquefaction capacity at Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 in Texas. The project is under construction, with trains 3 and 4 expected to begin commercial operations in 2030 and 2031, respectively. The agreement improves visibility into future sales, while the earnings contribution depends on delivery and contract economics.
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (NYSE:PBR) becomes the infrastructure subsidiary's first South American LNG customer. That broadens the geographic base of buyers and establishes a commercial relationship extending over two decades.
For Sempra (NYSE:SRE), the practical benefit is an external buyer for part of the subsidiary's contracted capacity. Securing that relationship before startup could reduce the need to find buyers for the covered volumes as production approaches, while supporting longer-term supply planning.
The annual commitment equals approximately 6.2% of Phase 2's planned 13-million-tonne annual capacity. This provides a measure of scale, although it does not establish the percentage of capacity still available for sale.

There's part of me that loves it. My dad's a comedian. So having thick skin and growing up with people taking the mick out of you is like part of our upbringing, you know? My love language, I think, is taking the ****** out of me. I just love it.

New Balance has announced it has added Golden Globe Award-winning actor Ayo Edebiri to its roster of brand ambassadors.
New Balance says its latest partnership with Edebiri makes for a natural fit given her upbringing in Boston, which is also where the brand's global headquarters is located. Edebiri's launch campaign captures her in her hometown of Dorchester while wearing the iconic New Balance 574.

Dolly Parton was a master musician, accomplished cook, and, perhaps most importantly, an excellent communicator. Parton could masterfully handle any insult, joke, or mean-spirited words that came her way.
Communication expert Dorie Clark broke down one of Dolly Parton's most infamous interviews with Barbara Walters from 1978. In it, Walters (knowingly or unknowingly) talked down to Parton about her appearance and upbringing.
But in true Dolly style, she defused anger and outrage with a strategy Clark calls a "label upgrade." It's a trick that worked well for Parton, and one Clark is sure can work for anyone during conversations that may turn offensive without warning.
In the clip shared on her Instagram, Clark highlights moments from the 1978 ABC News interview between Walters and Parton.
Walters first questions Parton about her looks, stating, "Dolly, you don't have to look like this. You're very beautiful. You don't have to wear the blonde wigs. You don't have to wear the extreme clothes, right?"

Drew Barrymore and her ex-husband Will Kopelman share two daughters, Olive (born 2012) and Frankie (born 2014).
While Barrymore and Kopelman share glimpses of their children's lives publicly, they are both intentional about keeping them out of the public eye as much as possible.
The two divorced in 2016.
When Drew Barrymore isn't busy as a talk show host, actress, and producer, she takes pride in raising her two daughters, Olive and Frankie, and giving them an upbringing very different from her own less-than-perfect childhood.
"I realized I was put on this planet to raise girls," Barrymore told Stephen Colbert in January of last year. "Everything in my life was captured in a ****** erfly net to try and get this right. If you don't grow up in a perfect way with a perfect family, you fear the blueprint…I felt unconfident, like this was the stakes of my life and it took a few years to have that confidence."

Mark Wahlberg has opened up about his decision to leave Los Angeles after years of working in Hollywood. The actor moved his family to Las Vegas in 2022 to prioritize his four children and their upbringing. Wahlberg recently explained the decision on The Shop podcast, saying his kids were "getting exposed to a lot" and "getting in a lot of trouble."
Although Wahlberg misses Los Angeles, he believes moving away was the right choice for his family. He said, "The best thing was to say, 'OK, let's put them first. I don't have to be here. I can always come back.'" The actor shares four children with his wife, Rhea Durham. He has previously explained that Las Vegas gives them more freedom to pursue hobbies such as golf, horseback riding, and basketball.
Wahlberg also believes living in Hollywood is no longer necessary to maintain a successful career. He said, "In this day and age, you can self-tape, and you can audition from anywhere." The actor pointed out that productions increasingly shoot outside California, including in countries such as Australia and the UK, making it easier for actors to work without living in LA.
Despite that, Wahlberg has not completely fallen out of love with the city. He said he misses its weather, restaurants, and friends. He hopes to come back and calls it his 'goal.' Wahlberg wants to spend more time there during the summer, saying, "Summertime in California, man, there's nothing better."
Wahlberg continues taking on new projects despite living outside Los Angeles. His next major release is a historical crime thriller, By Any Means, directed by Elegance Bratton. The film stars Wahlberg as infamous mafia hitman Gregory Scarpa, who joins forces with a young Black FBI agent, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, to investigate the murders of civil rights leaders in 1966 Mississippi. It is scheduled to hit theaters on September 4, 2026.

We're not in August anymore, but we're still in the midwest in early September for Notre Dame's season opener against the Wisconsin Badgers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. So… there could be a variety of different weather forecasts for Sunday's game, but thankfully for everyone going to the game — it should be a fairly good day and night for college football.
There are going to be some major storms rolling through Green Bay this week, which is going to leave the area VERY muggy with predictions of very high humidity. Fans looking to have fun during the day won't have to worry about the rain, but it still mught feel wet as you gulp down one or two or three brats and chug some of the finest beer in the land, PBR.
As we get closer to game time, the temperature will begin to drop significantly, but the humidity will still be very high. With the humidity and this being the first game of the year, players on the field and fans in the stands should be careful of cramps throughout the contest.

Today, August 30, Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox is celebrating his 83rd birthday.
The Celtic legend scored 277 goals in 589 games for Celtic, and up until recently he was the club's most decorated player with 25 major honours. He has only recently been surpassed by Callum McGregor (26) and James Forrest (28).
Bobby's impressive roll of honour reads as 11 League ***** les, eight Scottish Cups, five League Cups and, of course, the European Cup when he was part of the legendary Celtic side which defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon's Estadio Nacional on May 25, 1967 to become the Kings of Europe.
And as the Celtic Family wishes Bobby a very happy birthday, we take a brief look at the incredible career of a legendary figure in Celtic's long and illustrious history…
Born in Saltcoats, Bobby was the farthest-flung of the Lisbon Lions – hence the ***** le of his autobiography – Thirty Miles from Paradise. Bobby, of course, has remained a Saltcoats Bhoy to this day. In his book, Bobby describes an almost idyllic childhood beside the sea and, apart from his six-month spell with Houston Hurricane in 1978, he has stayed in the town his entire life. 'I had a great upbringing,' he later told the Celtic View. 'We weren't the richest family in the world, but I didn't want for much, although all I really wanted was a ball at my feet anyway.'

One child in Denver called her "The Book Queen".
Another in Alabama calls her "Ms Dolly".
Across the globe in Australia, a toddler with speech delays delighted her family with her first word - "orange" - after she and her twin sister received a free book in the post about colours. It came from Imagination Library, the literacy programme begun by late global superstar Dolly Parton.
Parton, who died this week aged 80, launched the philanthropic effort in 1995 to honour her father - whose difficult Appalachian upbringing never allowed him to finish school or learn to read and write.
"He was the smartest man I have ever known, but I know in my heart his inability to read probably kept him from fulfilling all of his dreams," wrote Parton in an open letter on Imagination Library's website.

Dolly Parton opened up to PEOPLE in 2020 about life lessons spanning her marriage, tattoos and knowing her own worth
Parton added that she was in "awe" of young talents like her goddaughter Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift
The country icon died on Aug. 25, 2026
In 2020, Dolly Parton opened up to PEOPLE about her marriage, music, and even her tattoos, sharing life lessons along the way. This interview was republished following her death at 80 years old following a "brief battle with cancer" on Aug. 25.
There was a moment in Dolly Parton's career when she understood what her life was worth, because she finally understood what her words—each one shaped by her fabled Smoky Mountains upbringing—were worth. At 74, Parton distinctly remembers the day in 1992 she heard Whitney Houston's version of her song "I Will Always Love You" on the radio. "It was a worldwide thing. It was in a movie; it was No. 1. I thought, 'Wow. I wrote that little song.' That's when I felt my worth as a songwriter. I thought, 'This is my gift, and I'm going to do the best I can with it.'"

James Franco's glittering career first showed signs of faltering in 2014, when a 17-year-old girl shared messages the then-35-year-old sent her on Instagram, trying to coerce her into showing up at his hotel despite knowing her age. At the time, Franco brushed off his behavior, saying he "used bad judgment." But in 2018, at the height of the #MeToo movement, multiple women came forward to accuse Franco of ******* ual misconduct at his former acting school, Studio 4, which eventually led to a class-action lawsuit and a multi-million-dollar legal settlement in 2021. Though Franco admitted to having ******* with his students and previously undergoing treatment for ******* addiction, he did not address any allegations of ******* ual exploitation or misconduct. Since then, the now 48-year-old has mostly remained out of the spotlight.
Now, just like other previously canceled men who are making comebacks — including Louis C.K., Jonathan Majors and Kevin ******* ey, among others — Franco has re-emerged in the Shortical microdrama "Love, Lies & Frank." In the series, he plays Jimmy Frank, a dejected ad agency CEO who is millions of dollars in debt to a pack of unsavory werewolves donning terrible prosthetics who are threatening the company Jimmy's father built from the ground up. Across 46 episodes, ranging from 40 seconds to two minutes, Franco appears alongside established vertical actors Eric Guilmette and Neela Jolen. Guilmette, playing Jimmy's stepbrother Cameron Frank, and Jolen, who stars as Daniella Hansen, a junior creative at the company determined to rise in the ranks, embrace their roles with gusto despite a predictable plot and having to act through werewolf fangs.

On August 6, Petrobras (NYSE:PBR) held its second-quarter 2026 earnings webcast, reporting strong quarterly net profit and gross profit driven by record production volumes rather than peak Brent prices. Executives said the quarter delivered the highest recurring net profit and the highest gross profit in company history, even though oil prices in the period ranked outside the ten highest quarters Petrobras has ever posted. That distinction matters, because it points to something more durable than a commodity tailwind: production that keeps beating its own targets.
Petrobras pumped 2.7 million barrels of oil per day in the quarter, a 15% jump from a year earlier and 200,000 barrels per day above its own 2.5 million target. Several platforms are doing more than they were built for. The Almirante Tamandare FPSO at Buzios has a nameplate capacity of 225,000 barrels per day but hit a peak of 270,000, making it the highest-producing platform in Brazil. Six other platforms are running above their original capacity too, adding more than 100,000 barrels per day combined, output the company says required no new construction spending.
Refining kept pace. Utilization topped 100% for the quarter and hit 102% in April and May, while the company held its mix of diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline steady rather than shifting toward cheaper output. That let Petrobras cut oil product imports by 40% from the prior quarter and lift exports by 12%. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding one-off items, reached $20 billion, up 70% from the first quarter and nearly double a year earlier, while operating cash flow climbed almost 50% quarter-over-quarter to $12.3 billion.
Growth this fast isn't free. Petrobras spent $5.3 billion on capital projects in the quarter, up 4% from the first quarter's $5.1 billion, with 82% of that aimed at exploration and production. First-half operating expenses reached $11.7 billion, already more than half the full-year plan of $20.2 billion, pressured by freight and logistics costs tied to the added output plus exchange-rate swings. Management said expenses could exceed that plan if logistics costs and the exchange rate hold at current levels.
Debt tells a mixed story. Petrobras prepaid $2.9 billion in loans and bonds during the quarter and is targeting $65 billion in net debt over its plan horizon, versus the $60.4 billion net debt and $70.8 billion gross debt it reported. But renegotiating recharter and well-service contracts to save over $1 billion through 2030 required reorganizing lease liabilities right away, pushing them higher near-term even as future payments shrink. And despite record output, Petrobras still needs imports to fully cover diesel demand.

Gerald McCoy played eleven seasons at the highest level in the National Football League. A third overall selection of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2010, McCoy would go on to be a six-time Pro Bowl selection and a 2013 first-team All-Pro. He played the game with finesse and ferocity, but always with a smile and a fun personality.
During his career, McCoy was a media darling with both the local scribes and national networks. He made guest appearances during bye weeks and in the offseason, offering his expertise. It also was a chance for the country to get to know him away from the field. Now entering his fourth season working on NFL Network, McCoy says a second act in media was never a goal he chased like the quarterbacks he was used to sacking.
"I've been blessed with the gift of communication and natural non-fear of crowds and cameras," said McCoy. "Because of the guest appearances I would do during my career, later in my career these places were reaching out seeing if I would be doing media when I was done playing. I kept telling my agent to hold off on those calls till I thought about leaving the game."
McCoy is the son of two youth pastors, both of whom played in the church band. Because of this, his upbringing contained many instances of finding himself performing in front of crowds and singing solos in church. Those experiences helped McCoy become comfortable in a media setting and performing in front of viewers.
During his final year with the Las Vegas Raiders, McCoy found himself enrolled in the NFL media broadcast boot camp without his permission. The team's public relations staff enrolled McCoy, who had been battling injuries during his time with the franchise in 2021.

Former Phoenix Suns greats Amar'e Stoudemire and Mike D'Antoni delivered their Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction speeches on Aug. 15 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Here's what Stoudemire and D'Antoni said about their time in Phoenix as both received standing ovations at the conclusion of their speeches at Symphony Hall.
"Playing for Phoenix as a rookie was important for me. As a high school player, growing up in Florida, you know, you're going to the NBA, and it's a different world. And to have an organization that understood that and really brought me in, and really molded me as a basketball player, helped me to become who I am today."
A McDonald's All-American who endured an unstable upbringing, Stoudemire had verbally committed to play at Memphis under then head coach John Calipari, but he elected to enter the 2002 NBA Draft.
"I had a pre-draft workout with a couple of teams, worked out in Phoenix. I had a brilliant workout. I felt great about that, and I was drafted ninth to the Phoenix Suns as a high schooler. At that time, Jerry Colangelo was the owner, Bryan Colangelo was GM. Rick Welts was there. So, I was ready to try to take on this journey of the NBA as a high schooler, a true high schooler."

Prince William has reportedly been giving his eldest son, Prince George, something he did not have during his own childhood: a more stable and grounded upbringing.
The Prince of Wales and Kate Middleton are said to be determined to provide George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis with a healthy and secure childhood away from some of the pressures William experienced growing up in the Royal Family. The report comes as 13-year-old George prepares to embark on a new chapter of his education at Eton College.
Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, have reportedly been giving their eldest child, Prince George, a stable childhood, which the Prince of Wales allegedly never had. Joshua Rom, a royal commentator and expert, wrote in an article for The Royal Observer.
"As Prince George prepares to start his senior school journey at Eton College, much attention is going to shift onto the Wales children." According to the expert, "Prince George represents duty, stability and the future."
The royal commentator also expressed, "We are seeing him grow quickly, becoming more confident." The expert added, "Adventurous and involved with his parents as he does so."

The countdown is on for the Prince of Wales' firstborn son, Prince George, who will be attending Eton College this September. The 13-year-old royal will become a pupil at the prestigious institution in a matter of weeks, and the private school has already started preparing for their new royal addition. Fresh photographs taken from outside the school show that new 'No photography' signs have been put up on fences outside to ensure the media and members of the public do not invade the privacy of pupils.
We know that the Prince and Princess of Wales are keen to keep Prince George, and his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, shielded from the limelight as much as possible. Although they accompany the couple on special royal occasions and a handful of engagements, privacy is very important to them and they want their children to have a relatively 'normal' upbringing.

When Prince William attended Eton College, a deal was struck with the press that they would be afforded arranged shoots with William if they left him alone the rest of the time, and this could well be a similar set-up for Prince George. The Prince of Wales has previously said that he "really enjoyed being able to go about Eton as just another student."

South Florida fans — sporting cowboy hats, boots and their favorite pairs of jeans — returned to Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday night, hoping to see another win for the Florida Freedom on day two of Professional Bull Riding competition in Sunrise.
Standing in their way of another victorious night following the Freedom's day one win over the Missouri Thunder was the New York Mavericks. Despite occupying the last-place spot in the team standings, the Mavericks may have been the last team the No. 2 Freedom wanted to see based on Friday night's performance.
The then-winless Mavericks bested the then-No. 2 Texas Rattlers, and New York was clearly on the hunt to make history repeat — and to win its third straight meeting with the Freedom. However, while both teams were able to put up just one qualified ride, Florida ultimately grabbed its second win of the weekend 89.00-86.80.
Leandro Zampollo kicked things off for the Mavericks, but it was a quick ride for him. He bucked off Bruise Whacked in 3.75 seconds.
Then, it was time for the Freedom, coached by PBR Ring of Honor inductee Paulo Crimber, to start their night. In the leadoff position was Austin Richardson on Blazin Halos Late Night Toss, and he got his team out to an early lead, posting an 89.00. His ride proved a crucial one, as the Dallas native gave Florida its only points of the game and pushed his team past New York.
