Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would reportedly be staying in the UK for Christmas. This follows reports that the couple could visit the US for the holidays. However, it now appears that the Sussexes would not be leaving the country and would instead spend time at another property on the estate owned by their billionaire friend.
According to USA Today, Prince Harry and Markle, along with their kids and the former's mother, Doria Ragland, would be spending their Christmas in their new home in the UK. Last month, a friend of the Sussexes said that they won't be celebrating Christmas with the Royal Family. Moreover, they also questioned how this arrangement was possible.
Another source told Page Six that no matter where Markle and Harry decide to stay for Christmas, Doria is confirmed to be a part of their plans. "There is a hierarchy and the King is the CEO, he's the boss — what he says go, so it's better not to put themselves in any difficult position," they added, referring to why it's better for the Sussexes to be snubbed from the Royal Family's celebration.
This update also comes amid a source having told Closer Online that Harry is seemingly unhappy about Markle's plans to head to the US for Christmas. "Harry's very disappointed. In his mind, they could have brought Doria to their Cotswolds home and perhaps still scored an invite to see his father or [his late mother's family] the Spencers as a back-up. But Meghan wasn't having any of it," they added.
The insider mentioned that Harry tried his best to convince his wife to stay in the UK, but she didn't want to sit around and wait for the royal invitation. "It was the perfect excuse to book a flight back to the U.S., and Harry ultimately didn't have much choice but to follow," they continued.

Rockets predicted to trade for $112M defensive menace, reliable shooter to pair with Kevin Durant originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Houston Rockets disappointed themselves and their fans last season after getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers. This season, the Rockets have come in with a goal in mind: to be the best team possible.
Houston has started the season 5-0, exceeding expectations. In fact, the Rockets have done this while Kevin Durant is still trying to get going.
"The Houston Rockets are 5-0, and the vibes are about as high as they've ever been during Kevin Durant's time with the franchise. The Rockets have outscored their opponents by 71 points through the first five games of the season, and during their dominant start, Durant has been Houston's No. 1 hype man on the bench, Fred VanVleet had his best game in two years," The Athletic's William Guillory wrote.
The biggest thing the Rockets needed heading into the offseason was shooting.

The first full week of the 2026-27 NBA regular season has come and gone for the Boston Celtics, and it has been a busy one for the storied franchise. The Celtics notched their first three wins of the season against the reigning champion New York Knicks, the Chicago Bulls, and Brooklyn Nets after dropping their season opener to the Detroit Pistons the week prior, for starters.
The beef (or lamb chops and gravy or whatever we want to call it) between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown not only took on new life, but picked up new combatants. Around the rest of the league, a number of teams have surprised early, others disappointed, and injuries are running rampant across the ******* ociation before we hit the month of November. To talk it all over and then some, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with Nets Wire editor Sharif Phillips-Keaton.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about a ******* py but mostly good start to the 2026-27 season.

Detroit Red Wings star Dylan Larkin, frustrated with the lack of progress on his trade request, is taking the Connor **** ebuyck playbook.
Larkin reported to training camp while waiting for the Red Wings to pull off a deal. **** ebuyck didn't show up and was suspended by the Winnipeg Jets.
The award-winning goalie and fellow U.S. Olympian was the first of the two to be traded, heading to the New Jersey Devils for a big haul. Now Larkin says he won't play.
"All I can say is that Dylan's had enough of the situation," Larkin's agent, Pat Brisson, told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, on Thursday.
The "disappointed" Red Wings have suspended Larkin without pay, interim general manager Shawn Horcoff said.

Former Rep. Mary Peltola is rescheduling several upcoming campaign events after she and her family sustained "minor" injuries in a car crash, her campaign announced Sunday.
"Mary and her family sustained minor injuries but are in good spirits. Unfortunately, per the advice of medical professionals, Mary's upcoming events in Fairbanks and Bethel will be rescheduled for later in the week as she takes time to recover," Peltola campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said in a statement.
"Mary is disappointed that the accident is delaying the start of her Alaska Always Tour, and she is eager to get back on the campaign trail to speak directly with Alaskans about her plan to take on the rigged system and lower costs for working families," Bruce added.
Peltola was en route to the Alaska Federation of Natives' annual banquet Saturday when a vehicle transporting the candidate and her family was struck by another driver, according to the campaign. A spokesperson for the campaign said they had no reason to believe the accident had been politically motivated.
The police department in Anchorage confirmed Sunday that a collision involving three vehicles occurred on evening and those involved sustained "non-life threatening injuries."

Bournemouth vs Sunderland was played on Sunday afternoon, just a few short days after they had both won in the Europa League.
Both teams went into this game desperate for a league win that would take them out of the bottom three, and when the game began, it appeared that only one team wanted the points. Sunderland hit the self-destruct ******* on, conceded early on, and then had a player sent off in the 17th minute.
The game ended 2-0 to Bournemouth; however, it could have been more. Here is what has been said since the final whistle from the managers, players, pundits, and the fans.

Sunderland's head coach said: "We were below the level today. It is hard to take – it is really painful. We were not Sunderland today and that is not acceptable.
"I am disappointed for our fans because they were with us until the end, but we were not there on the pitch, which is a big problem in the Premier League."

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why it Matters: Mahomes didn't have to do much, as handing it off to Kenneth Walker III was extremely effective. That took a lot of pressure off of Mahomes, but fantasy managers don't feel any better about that. After a bye, patient fantasy managers who waited on Mahomes have to be a bit disappointed about the lack of touchdowns, although the yardage total was decent.

A woman regrets agreeing to a barter collaboration with a property after learning where she would be staying. In the opening of her TikTok video, Tara Lynn (taraswrld) said, "I just found out some crazy sh** about the hotel I'm supposed to be checking into today." She said she would check out of her current hotel and check into the new one the same day, but after the reveal, she has "nowhere to go."
Lynn described her initial reaction to the property representatives contacting her. She said, "They emailed me the other day while I was at Harry about this comp stay. So I, like, briefly looked at their website. Everything looked nice. I signed the contract." However, she noted that a day before she was supposed to check in, she did a deep dive on the property's website and found out she was checking into a hostel with rooms of about 32 square feet and shared bathrooms.
How did Lynn deal with the information? She got in touch with the hostel's staff but, unfortunately, was disappointed. Speaking about how the conversation went, she said, "I emailed the person I was emailing with, and I was like, 'Hi. I didn't realize that this had shared bathrooms. I don't feel comfortable with that due to, like, safety purposes.' I was also like, 'I have three suitcases. Like, I just physically can't fit into a room that's 32 square feet'…They said, no, babe, this is a hostel."
Lynn ended her video by saying she didn't have a hotel for the next three days. She also mentioned that three other influencers were in the city besides her, and they were staying in hotels charging them $1,800 a night. She said she didn't know whether she should be spending that much on her stay.
Some commenters on Lynn's post thought staying at the hostel was a good idea, with some noting it would be a unique experience worth documenting. One person wrote, "Do it for the plot." Another said, "Hostel would make for good content."

On Thursday, Oct. 1, Lady Gaga issued an apology to influencer Golloria after the creator criticized the singer's brand Haus Labs for its new bronzer's lack of shade diversity
"I don't know what or who you guys switched up in that lab, but switch it back," the influencer said in her video from May
In her statement, Gaga admitted the brand made "the wrong decision" and said that the product would "launch soon" with a wider shade range
Lady Gaga is apologizing to influencer Golloria four months after she called out the singer's brand Haus Labs for its new bronzer.
In May, Golloria made a video criticizing the upcoming product Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil, which was initially planed to launch with six shades. The influencer was disappointed upon swatching the three darkest shades on her face, explaining that she generally likes Haus Labs' complexion products. "I don't know what or who you guys switched up in that lab, but switch it back. Thank you," she said.

Tesla (TSLA) has had a rough 2026. The stock is down about 20% year-to-date (YTD), falling from $458.34 on the first trading day of the year to $297.38 in late July. That is a decline of more than 27% from peak to trough.
Its much-publicized Cybercab launch also disappointed investors. Tesla launched the robotaxi service in Austin on Sept. 3 with only 45 vehicles registered in Texas. The stock then dropped nearly 6% the next day, wiping out its 5.4% pre-launch gain, after federal safety regulators opened an audit into about 1,000 steering-wheel-free vehicles. Tesla's Model Y-based driverless ride service is still limited to seven U.S. metro areas.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints are moving on to Week 2 sounding more emboldened than disappointed by their season-opening loss to Detroit.
"We're in a good place," Saints veteran safety Justin Reid said Monday, a day after the 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions. "When we click on all cylinders, it's evident what we can do."
After erasing a three-touchdown deficit in the second half, the Saints matched the Lions' touchdown in overtime and tried to win the game with a 2-point conversion that failed when second-year quarterback Tyler Shough's pass fell incomplete.
"A lot of teams would have folded," Reid said. "That's not the way that we're built."
Second-year coach Kellen Moore said the Saints "get to learn a lot from that game."

Mets news: Ex-GM drops 'disappointed' admission on NY not re-signing Pete Alonso appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Mets have the difficult task of facing the man who set their all-time home run record a little more than a year ago. He also happens to be responsible for one of the most famous dingers in recent playoff history. That is not the type of player fans want to see in a different uniform. Beloved first baseman Pete Alonso will return to Citi Field for the first time since inking a five-year, $155 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles last December, and with that big reunion comes endless evaluation and nitpicking.
Former Mets executive Sandy Alderson was running the front office when the organization selected the Polar Bear in the 2016 MLB Draft, so it is no surprise to hear how he feels about New York failing to re-sign Alonso.
"I was disappointed," Alderson told Brian Kenny on MLB Now, one day after being inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. "Pete Alonso was drafted by Tommy Tanous, the scouting director at that time, in the second round. Basically a home-run hitter who got on base. And that's what he's been since he came to the big leagues. Let's say his defense is not…. superb. Poor defense doesn't outweigh the kind of homegrown, home-run, impact talent that Pete Alonso can provide.

A woman who found hairs in her Aldi dip has said she was disappointed the company included an AI prompt in its reply when she complained.
Jo Reeves from Cotteridge in Birmingham said she found the "vile" hairs when she popped out for a snack, while her partner was in hospital.
The AI prompt included the phrase: "Make it short and concise but do not overdo it" and Reeves said: "Everyone uses AI but the language is disappointing as a customer.
An Aldi spokesperson said: "This response fell well below our normal standards of customer service. We have contacted Ms Reeves directly to apologise and fully resolve the issue she had with our product."
Reeves said: "My partner was having an op in Worcester hospital so popped to the local Aldi to get 'recovery food'."

One of the biggest and most controversial trades happened this offseason when the L.A. Rams traded for Myles Garrett. The organization entered the season with more expectations than ever, but its campaign began in embarrassing fashion, as the San Francisco 49ers dominated the Rams 27–7 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

The fans were disappointed with star pass rusher Myles Garrett, as his performance was really disappointing and he made virtually no impact in his Rams debut.
During a recent episode of "The Odd Couple," Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker criticized several members of the Rams before turning his attention to the former Cleveland Browns star and saying:
"Myles Garrett was so terrible. He was a zero. He had nothing. Go look in the box score. His name's not even in there. You know why? He didn't do anything. No pressures. No sacks. No tackles. Nothing—not even a half tackle. Nothing. I would have rather had Mrs. Garrett from 'The Facts of Life' than Myles Garrett on my football team last night. That's how bad it was."

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz blasted Kansas for its Civil War–themed hype video ahead of Friday's "Border War" college football rivalry game.
"I was disappointed in the rivalry—the turn that it took today," Drinkwitz said after the Tigers beat the Jayhawks 38–21 in Lawrence. "I thought that was uncalled for."
Kansas released a controversial social media video on Thursday ahead of hosting Missouri for the first time since 2005.
"This rivalry is different, because it's built on something much deeper than just school pride," narrator and former Kansas football star Gilbert Brown said. "It's fueled by hatred, passed down through generations. Our roots reach back to the Civil War, when blood was spilt over what you believed in and which side you stood on. There are heroes and villains, only allegiance decides their legacy. There's right and wrong. There's Kansas and Missouri." The video has more than 35 million views on X/Twitter as of Saturday morning.
"This is about two teams playing football," Drinkwitz said. "Especially on 9/11, when we need more unity now than ever before, to be putting some stuff on your screen—celebrating—everybody's got complicated pasts, and to make that an icon was bizarre to me. So, I'm just glad that this whole right-versus-wrong bullcrap that was started just got settled on a football field."

Eli Drinkwitz turned his postgame news conference in Lawrence toward a 90-second video on Friday night, a few hours after Missouri had settled the 122nd Border War 38-21 at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
The clip, ******* led "Heroes and Villains" and narrated by former Kansas nose tackle Gilbert Brown, went up on the Jayhawks' social accounts on Thursday and reached back to the Civil War fighting along the state line, splicing in images of John Brown and William Quantrill under a narration line about right and wrong, Kansas and Missouri.
Kansas ran it again on the videoboard shortly before kickoff. Drinkwitz was asked about it once the Tigers had moved to 2-0, and he did not stop at one sentence.

"Disappointed in the rivalry, the turn that it took today. I thought that was uncalled for, and you know, this is about two teams playing football, and especially on 9/11 when we need more unity now than ever before. To be putting some stuff on your screen, celebrating. I mean, everybody's got complicated pasts, you know, and to make that an icon was bizarre to me. And so I'm just glad, you know, that this whole right versus wrong bullcrap that was started just got settled on a football field because it's a football game. It's an American football game that people love to come watch and cheer for their teams. It's not even deeper than that, and I get there's a past to it. But why are we stirring that bullcrap up? You know, it's 9/11. This country needs unity now more than ever, and I was embarrassed for them to be honest, and that's why I tried to embarrass them at the end."

Pakistan great Wasim Akram has expressed frustration over the country's continued struggles in Test cricket, arguing that the lack of quality batting talent emerging through the system has become a major concern.

Speaking to the media in Lahore on Friday, the former fast bowler said Pakistan's home-and-away Test series defeat to Bangladesh should have prompted the authorities to take immediate corrective measures. Instead, he felt little changed after what should have been a warning sign.

Akram pointed towards the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which has been running for a decade, and questioned whether the tournament had produced any significant batting talent for the national team.

"It has been 10 years since the PSL started, but has a single batter been produced by the PSL? Yes we have produced a few bowlers but tell me have we produced any noteworthy batting talent," he questioned.
Akram also highlighted the emergence of a 15-year-old batting talent in neighbouring India, an apparent reference to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, as an example of the kind of player Pakistan needs to produce.

"I think when we produce a batting talent like the 14-year old then we will see improvement coming through," Akram said.

While he felt Pakistan remained competitive in white-ball cricket, the former pacer was far less optimistic about the team's position in the longer format, describing the state of Test cricket as "bad".

Akram also played down the importance of who takes charge as Pakistan's coach, saying that whether the PCB appoints him or Gary Kirsten, the fundamental challenge would remain because the coach would still be working with the same pool of players.

Rather than repeatedly changing personnel, Akram called for the PCB's domestic structure to be given time to produce results. He believes the system should be allowed to operate for three to four years, with patience and long-term planning essential to any improvement.

Akram admitted that he was just as disappointed as any other Pakistani by the team's recent performances.

"Club cricket needs to be revived if we want improvement in red ball cricket. The PCB should spend 100 million rupees each in Karachi and Lahore, as talent comes from club cricket."

He also called for greater consistency in the national side, pointing out that Pakistan have continued to rotate players without addressing the underlying problems.

He said there should be consistency in the team, but the players remain the same -- they just keep coming and going.
Pakistan's ongoing Test series in England also came under scrutiny, with Akram criticising the team's approach against the home bowlers.

"In England in the ongoing series they didn't move their front foot forward, playing bowlers like Ollie Robinson while standing rooted in the crease. You need to play with courage, but for that, talent is essential."

Akram also offered his ******* sment of Pakistan's fast-bowling resources, arguing that raw pa

Kansas football's Civil War-themed hype video released ahead of Friday's Border War rivalry game against Missouri did not sit well with Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz.
The Tigers' seventh-year coach shared his thoughts on the video following his team's 38-21 victory over the Jayhawks at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium on Friday, Sept. 11 in Lawrence, Kansas. Missouri's victory marked the Tigers' fifth straight win in the rivalry series.
He went so far as to say he was "embarrassed" for the Jayhawks for posting the video.

Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Falcons will start Cooper Rush in place of injured quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in their season opener, they announced Friday.
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Jack Strand will be the Falcons' second string quarterback for the matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
"He's a very competitive person, so disappointed," Stefanski told reporters, when asked about Tagovailoa. "But he's going to rally behind Coop and do everything he can to help Coop."
Rush took all of the Falcons' first-team offensive reps Thursday and continued to lead passing drills at Friday's practice session. The veteran quarterback threw for 303 yards, with no touchdowns and four interceptions, over four appearances last season for the Baltimore Ravens.
Rush completed 61.1% of his throws for 3,766 yards, 20 scores and 14 interceptions over the first 42 appearances of his NFL career. He started 16 times during that span.

Sept 10 (Reuters) - Energy and bond markets are on edge once again after U.S. President Donald Trump said the Iran war would not end until after November's midterm elections. That came amid the most intense attacks on Gulf ‌shipping in the conflict so far.
Meanwhile, markets await a likely European Central Bank interest rate rise and the first of the week's ‌U.S. inflation updates on Thursday, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's bond buyback salvo appeared to flop after details of the operation disappointed.
Crude oil closed at its highest level since late May above $100 per barrel on Wednesday, and 10-year Treasury yields hit their highest in three years, fast homing in on the 5% milestone.
That came after a wave of ***** -for-tat attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf, the biggest since the Iran war started six months ago. Meantime, a planned $6 billion buyback of longer-dated bonds on Thursday disappointed some investors who had wanted more.

The son of British soccer star David Beckham and Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham has left some onlookers disappointed with his New York Fashion Week runway debut.
On Sept. 10, the first day of New York Fashion Week, Romeo Beckham walked in Tommy Hilfiger's Spring/Summer 2027 presentation held in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
The 24-year-old model was the last to walk the runway, claiming the most coveted slot at most fashion shows.
The closing spot is typically reserved for the collection's most important or defining outfit, often modeled by the biggest name on the runway. Still, despite his high profile, some did not believe Romeo deserved the honor.
Romeo walked the runway in a relaxed style with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless. He modeled a light pink ****** on-up shirt with a color-block tie, a flannel, gray shorts, and brown leather loafers with black socks.

TikTok creator molly.rutter posted a video describing her highly anticipated first date with a foreign student that, since its publication, has drawn over 15 million views and generated over 7300 comments. Molly appeared excited on her way to the date and said she liked him when they met in person. But by the end of the date, she said things had taken a different turn.
At the beginning of the video, Molly filmed herself on her way to meet her date and said she was excited to see him. She said he was from India and that it was his first time in the United States. She added that he attended a university in Buffalo, New York, where he studied artificial intelligence.
Molly said they had spoken on the phone before meeting and that she found him attractive from their initial conversation. This seemed to add to her excitement. Because he was still getting familiar with Buffalo, she said she planned to take him to one of her favorite food spots in the city.
Shortly after their date began, she gave an update on how it was going. She described him as "Absolutely adorable" and said that she found him physically appealing. Molly also said that she detected some shyness from her date, which only made her more fond of him.
As the night progressed, she was all smiles and said they had already planned a second date. However, she was a bit disappointed when he initially said he couldn't go to a second location because he had classes the next morning. She decided to meet up with her friend after the date.

A decision to change the location of an annual winter festival at just over a month's notice has been criticised as "sneaky" by a business group.
The Winter Droving has been held in Penrith for more than a decade, but this year the live music, outdoor performances and twilight procession will take place 20 miles away in Carlisle on 24 October.
Eden Arts director Adrian Lochhead said organisers had been working "until the last minute" to keep the event in Penrith but it had not been possible for financial reasons.
However, Penrith Business Improvement District (Bid) accused Eden Arts of "sneakily organising" the move for some time, while the local council said it was "disappointed" at the news.
Lochhead told BBC Radio **** bria the announcement did not happen earlier because they were "still trying" to stay in Penrith, but "it was becoming more and more impossible".

American government borrowing costs have risen to a three-year high after a $6bn (£4.4bn) bond market intervention disappointed investors.
The US treasury said on Wednesday it would buy back $6bn in government debt as Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, tries to suppress high bond yields.
However, the intervention underwhelmed investors and yields rose after the announcement. The interest rate on benchmark 10-year Treasuries rose to 4.85pc, the highest level since late 2023. The cost to borrow over 20 and 30 years also rose sharply.
The jump is a setback for Mr Bessent and Donald Trump, who have both sought to combat a sharp recent rise in US borrowing costs that has put pressure on the White House's economic plans.
It will also likely raise concerns that the global bond sell-off seen last week could reignite.

Former All-Star believes the Wizards could lose Anthony Davis and still reach the Playoffs originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season, the Washington Wizards have made some promising developments. They boast a talented squad, and people might not be aware of the number of talented players they have on the roster.
Of course, most people will recognize Anthony Davis and Trae Young as multi-time All-Stars. However, it seems that Davis is not that integral to their plans, especially with trade rumors following him everywhere he goes.
As a former All-Star guard, Jeff Teague knows what it takes for a team to succeed. He was part of that Atlanta Hawks team that became the first seed in 2015, but still disappointed in the Playoffs.
At the moment, the Wizards' focus must be on succeeding in the regular season. It will be quite challenging because of the abundance of talent in the Eastern Conference, so all hands on deck is needed for them to achieve that goal.

Michigan QB Bryce Underwood to face talented Oklahoma defense with starting job at stake originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
NORMAN, Okla. – If Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood is still the starter after Saturday, he will have saved his job after facing what appears to be an elite Oklahoma defense.
Underwood's Hail Mary touchdown pass to JJ Buchanan last Saturday gave Michigan a controversial 13-12 win over Western Michigan. But Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham was disappointed in the way the Wolverines played, so he made it clear this week that no one's position is guaranteed in the future – including Underwood's.
Underwood seemed caught off guard when learning Whittingham told the media his sophomore signal caller needs to improve to remain the starter.
"I didn't see that," Underwood said. "It's cool."

Meghan Markle is reportedly looking to rebuild one of her most high-profile friendships following her family's move back to the U.K. According to a new report, the ***** ss of Sussex has been quietly reaching out to Victoria Beckham after years of alleged tension between the two. The reported effort comes as Markle and Harry settle into a new home near the Beckhams' Cotswolds estate.
According to Globe Magazine, Meghan Markle believes there is still a chance to repair her friendship with Victoria Beckham despite their long-rumored falling out. A source claimed the ***** ss considers the relationship "unfinished business" and is now "reaching out and testing the waters" through mutual friends.
The insider alleged that Markle was deeply disappointed by how the friendship unraveled. The source also suggested she believes outside influences and media speculation played a significant role. Rather than any lasting personal conflict, these factors ultimately drove a wedge between the two women.
The reported feud dates back several years. In his book "Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors," author Tom Bower claimed Markle suspected Victoria of leaking private information to the press. According to the book, Harry later confronted David Beckham over the allegation, a move that reportedly strained the relationship between the couples.
The renewed interest in reconnecting follows Markle's reported return to the U.K. with Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Reports have claimed the family has relocated to an estate in the Cotswolds, where David and Victoria also own a country home.

Tom Holland and Zendaya had a luxury getaway to ***** an planned, but their hectic promotional schedule left them too exhausted to enjoy it. Instead, they handed the luxury trip to Tom's parents, Dominic and Nicola Holland.
The couple has dated since 2021 and quietly tied the knot. They spent months promoting the latest superhero movie and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Their packed schedules left them too exhausted to make the ***** an trip themselves. Comedian and writer Dominic Holland has now revealed how the couple turned their canceled getaway into a vacation for him and his wife.
His father narrated, as per Daily Mail, "So, you know that Tom had a few films out recently, he had The Odyssey out, then he had Spider-Man. And he's been tired; he's been working unbelievably hard. He and Zendaya have probably done twice around the globe to promote these films.
He continued, "They were tired. They'd probably done maybe 20, 10-hour flights." About three days after the London premiere, Tom told him they had a holiday planned in ***** an. Dominic said he told Tom, "That'll be nice, Tom. You'll enjoy it." But Tom admitted he was too tired to go. He told his father, "Dad, it's too far, and I'm too tired." Tom then came up with another plan and told Dominic he would send him and his mum, Nicola, instead.
Dominic joked that being Tom's father came with plenty of perks, including first-class travel and luxury hotels. However, he said the hotel and restaurant staff expected to see the Hollywood star, only to find Dominic instead. He said that even the famously polite ***** anese staff seemed disappointed when he arrived. Dominic added, 'The ***** anese are very polite and servile people, but even they went, "Hmm."' He then poked fun at his own career, saying, 'Typical of me — here's the thing… I've written 10 books and got exactly zero with me tonight, which sums up my career.'"

The San Francisco 49ers put forth a concerted effort to upgrade their wide receiver room this offseason because it lacked talent last year, and they were set to lose Jauan Jennings, who eventually signed with the Minnesota Vikings.
With that knowledge, San Francisco brought in Mike Evans, Christian Kirk and Deebo Samuel in free agency and took De'Zhaun Stribling in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. However, Kirk has landed on injured reserve, and Ricky Pearsall is out for the season, so the team could look to add more at the position.
Interestingly, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox recently predicted that the 49ers will send a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for Keon Coleman.
Coleman played collegiately at Michigan State from 2021-22 and at Florida State in 2023, earning All-Conference honors twice. In 34 games between the two schools, he caught 115 passes for 1,506 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Buffalo took Coleman in the second round (No. 33 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft, and through two years, Buffalo has been disappointed by the results. The 26-year-old has caught 67 passes for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games so far.
