Florida voters on Tuesday approved a major overhaul of the state's property tax system. But the droves of billionaires and other ultrawealthy people who recently moved there are unlikely to notice much of a difference from its headline tax break.
Amendment 3—which raises the homestead exemption on non-school property taxes from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and to $250,000 in 2028—passed with 62% of the vote, according to the ***** ociated Press. Supporters pitched Amendment 3 as relief for everyday homeowners, and for many, it is. But because the exemption is a flat dollar amount, it does far less for the billionaires who turned South Florida into one of the country's wealthiest enclaves.
Take Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, who moved his firm from Chicago to Miami, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos also moved to Miami in 2023 and has since bought a $237 million compound on Indian Creek, the island nicknamed "Billionaire Bunker." Bezos is also reportedly buying a $69.5 million oceanfront estate in nearby Golden Beach.
Experts told Fortune, though, the bigger factor of Amendment 3 for people like Griffin and Bezos is a less-noticed part: a tighter limit on how fast taxes can rise on second homes, rentals, and other properties that aren't a primary residence. Florida caps how much those properties' taxable values can increase each year, and Amendment 3 cuts that cap from 10% to 5%. In a hot market like South Florida's, that slows tax growth on homes whose values are climbing quickly, and many wealthy buyers own more than one.
But for a billionaire who claims a Florida homestead, the savings from Amendment 3 aren't that noticeable. Raul Gastesi, a real estate attorney and cofounder of Miami law firm Gastesi Lopez Mestre & Cobiella, calculated that at the statewide average non-school tax rate, the expanded exemption will save a homestead owner about $2,085 a year once fully in place. A home ***** sed at $350,000 would see its local services property tax bill fall from about $3,135 to about $1,050. A $50 million homestead would go from about $524,000 to about $522,000.

Democrats secured control of the Senate on Tuesday, a seismic shift that effectively blocks President Trump's campaign to reshape the Federal Reserve and neutralizes what many ******* ysts viewed as a threat to the central bank's independence.
It also heightens the challenge for Trump should he maneuver to replace any sitting officials.
"Democrats' control of the Senate reclaims the party's ability to approve or deny the President's nominees for judges and heads of other executive branch agencies," Jonathan Pingle, an economist for UBS, wrote in a note. "That includes the need for Democrats to approve any new members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System should one of the existing governors step aside."
That political firewall directly impacts the administration's ongoing effort to remove Fed governor Lisa Cook. Trump fired Cook in August 2025, claiming she committed mortgage fraud by making misrepresentations on loan documents years before her appointment to the central bank. Cook, a Biden appointee, has denied any wrongdoing and sued. The lawsuit has gone through multiple court rungs before reaching the Supreme Court earlier this year.
Last month, Trump established a committee to determine whether her statements constituted legal "cause" for removal from the central bank, signaling that his efforts to oust her are continuing.

An expert has broken down Queen Camilla's beach clean-up moment with King Charles on their Caribbean tour. She arrived over the weekend to join her husband for the final leg in Antigua and Barbuda on November 1, 2026. The monarch began the nine-day tour on his own on October 27, 2026, covering the Bahamas and Guyana before the final leg.
An expert has observed that Queen Camilla looked "uncomfortable" while helping clear a beach in Antigua, even blurting out a quick four-word warning to dodge a painful slip-up. King Charles and Queen Camilla joined local volunteers on the sands of Fort James Beach for the environmental initiative. The Queen opted to take off her shoes and walk barefoot to navigate the shoreline during the task.
However, per the Daily Express, lip-reading specialist Nicola Hickling has warned that walking shoeless amid a busy royal party carries its own risks. On examining the arrival footage, she remarked that Camilla's face was "worth watching here." The comment came as the royal made her way over the sand alongside her husband.
Hickling told the outlet that the Queen looked "slightly uncomfortable" as she abruptly moved away from King Charles. It was "possibly to avoid having her toes trodden on." Amid the clumsy shift, Her Majesty reportedly uttered the striking four-word line: "I must go easy."
The moment, however, passed without incident, and the couple carried on cheerfully. They even playfully crossed their litter pickers like swords, then took turns placing collected rubbish into a black bag. After that, the royal pair listened to Jennifer Meranto, founder and chief executive of Adopt a Coastline. She outlined the crucial effort to safeguard the island's shore. Two of the group's youth ambassadors joined Meranto for the briefing.

A strong showing by Democrats in Texas swept Gina Hinojosa into office as the state's first Democratic governor since 1990 in a contest closely watched by Big Tech companies.
Texas is considered a bellwether for government restrictions on AI data centers and was just one place where deep voter unease over the build-out was on display. Voters across the country passed a series of local ballot measures aimed at restricting construction in the years ahead.
Hinojosa, Texas's first Latina governor, has pledged to impose a moratorium on data center construction in Texas, which accounts for more than 25% of planned US capacity by 2030.
"I want to say something to the powerful people who have gotten very comfortable running this state," she told supporters in her victory speech. "The voters have delivered a mandate for change, and it is change they will get."
Her victory was one of a series of wins for Democrats in Texas. The party is also on track to take control of the Texas House, which would give Hinojosa more power to follow through on restrictions even as the state Senate appears set to remain under Republican control.

Archaeologists have finally cracked the code to the famed Ann Francis shipwreck’s brass combination treasure lock. However, the 16th century relic didn’t open after hours of painstaking trial-and-error. Researchers at Cardiff University and Amgueddfa Cymru, the National Museum of Wales, relied on highly detailed CT scanning equipment to peer inside the mechanical device and learn the code without touching the lock itself.
“It’s not every day you get to solve a 400-year-old mystery,” David Williams, a Cardiff University biomechanics engineer, said in a statement.
The lock’s combination was lost on December 28, 1583, when the merchant ship Ann Francis sailed into a powerful storm during a return voyage from Spain. The exact crew number is unclear, but all of them (around 14 sailors) reportedly drowned after veering off-course and wrecking along the coast of southern Wales. Unfortunately, at least one other death is likely directly tied to the Ann Francis. Archival evidence suggests locals later accused a “detestable woman” named Mother Gabley of being an “execrable witch” and casting the foul weather responsible for the maritime tragedy. While Mother Gabley’s fate remains unknown, she would have almost certainly been hanged under the recently passed “Act Against Conjurations, Enchantments and Witchcrafts” if brought to trial.
The Ann Francis remained missing for 415 years, until metal detectorist Peter Hughes rediscovered the wreckage while surveying southern Wales’ Margam Beach in 1998. Hughes and archaeologists subsequently spent more than 20 years scouring the area for the ship’s remains. By 2017, preservationists had documented over 800 gold and silver coins from Germany, Spain, and Portugal along with artifacts like compasses, ship equipment, and cutlery.
Still, the wreck’s most famous remnant is the brass combination lock still in working condition after four centuries buried in sand. It’s possible the lock was used to guard those coins, or potentially other valuables that didn’t survive exposure to the elements. Regardless, the lock has remained close with no hints to its four-letter combination for hundreds of years.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) stock market index has more than doubled from its 2022 bear market low point, but it faces a number of challenges that could derail its current bull run.
Rising oil prices are stoking inflation, which prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its September meeting, and additional hikes might be on the way. This alone has been enough to spark a correction in the broader market in the past, but investors are also wrestling with a potential slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure spending, which is impacting some of the largest stocks in the S&P 500.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 16x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ***** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
To top things off, the S&P is trading at a very expensive valuation, leaving it particularly vulnerable to a sharp sell-off. Fortunately, there is a way investors can capitalize on a downturn based on almost 70 years' worth of history.
The U.S. and Iran have been engaged in a geopolitical conflict since February, resulting in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz waterway, through which 25% of the world's seaborne oil transits each day. Moreover, the ongoing war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen recently knocked even more oil supply offline, while Ukraine and Russia also continue targeting one another's energy infrastructure.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have had a successful visit to Antigua and Barbuda, following on from His Majesty's solo visits to the Bahamas and Guyana. On Thursday they will be touching down on UK soil, just in time for Bonfire Night. However, it may not be a big celebration in the royal household, and that's because of this one reason…
The royal couple have two dogs, Bluebell, a rescue Jack Russell Terrier adopted by Camilla from the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in 2012 and Moley, a part Jack Russell Terrier adopted from the same place in 2025.

It is well known that dogs can struggle with the loud bangs that come with fireworks, and are often unsettled during this time of year. Plus, the Jack Russell breed in particular, being a non-hunting breed, is said to not cope well with the sounds. So, Charles and Camilla may be spending their post-travel evening comforting their pooches if they aren't happy.
Advice on the Battersea Dogs Home website includes playing classical music to soothe and calm your pet, giving them a long-lasting chew to keep them distracted and also drawing the curtains to block out the light from fireworks.

Sydney Sweeney is getting into the holiday spirit with the latest drop from her lingerie and loungewear brand, SYRN. The actor fronted the campaign for the label's new "All I Want Is Plaid" collection from the Holiday Shop, bringing festive charm to every frame. The playful campaign featured cozy Christmas sets and stacks of wrapped presents.
For the campaign, Sydney Sweeney slipped into SYRN's Snow Problem Flannel Cami and Shorts Set, priced at $69. The matching plaid set featured a flannel cami with two front panels tied together at the bust, creating a flirty cutout effect.
The fitted silhouette hugged her frame while the coordinating plaid micro shorts sat comfortably on the waist with a pull-on design. An embroidered SYRN logo at the shorts' hem added a subtle finishing touch.
She layered the festive look with white thigh-high stockings and completed it with lavender-blue platform heels. A soft pale blue faux-fur-trimmed cape draped over her shoulders, making the outfit feel even more holiday-ready.
The campaign showed Sweeney balancing wrapped presents and posing among snow-covered Christmas trees. She playfully tangled herself in colorful string lights before the reel ended with the SYRN logo appearing on a vintage television.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Hollywood plans might be on hold. According to sources, their Netflix film projects haven't shown any clear progress since March. However, another source claimed that this is standard practice in the industry. Meanwhile, their production company has reportedly lost another executive.
Sources told Page Six that the Sussexes' Netflix films, "Meet Me at the Lake" and "The Wedding Date," remain in development. The first is based on Carley Fortune's bestselling book. It has reportedly been in development since August 2023, and it's believed to have an attached director whose identity remains under wraps. "The Wedding Date," based on Jasmine Guillory's novel, has been in development since 2025.
However, a second source called it simply how Hollywood works. "Things are not made in a day," the industry insider said. They explained that adaptations take a while, especially as producers work with the book writers on the script.
The couple's untitled scripted polo drama also hasn't received any update. Harry is reportedly working on a documentary about Princess Diana ahead of her 30th death anniversary. Netflix's potential involvement in the film currently remains unclear.
Meanwhile, Archewell Productions' longtime head of nonfiction, Chanel Pysnik, is reportedly leaving. She helmed the Netflix documentary "Harry & Meghan." Page Six was told that she wanted a "new chapter." Following her exit, Nishika ******* ble, senior vice president of scripted television, remains a key executive in the company. The outlet reported last month that Archewell Productions was downsizing.

Safe to say, it's been a brutal week for chip stocks.
On Oct. 30 alone, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) plunged 8.2%, wiping out an estimated $1 trillion in chip stock market value during the session.
Perhaps the biggest headline-maker was Intel (INTC), which suffered its worst one-day stock decline in half a century following its earnings report, as covered by CNBC.
And the company that has come to symbolize the AI boom, Nvidia (NVDA), isn't offering much comfort.
That said, Melius Research ****** yst Ben Reitzes, rated five stars by TipRanks, revamped his Nvidia stock price target just days after Intel plunged nearly 29%, as reported by TheFly.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have to rethink their plans for a lavish home in the UK. The Sussexes reportedly have their sights set on a sprawling country estate for privacy and entertaining. But the £10 million price tag may be putting that plan out of reach. Their property search has now raised questions about what they can comfortably afford.
According to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice, the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex have been eyeing a £10 million (approximately $13 million) country property in the Cotswolds. However, an unnamed source claims their budget may not stretch to the kind of estate they want.
"They have champagne tastes, but the bank balance isn't matching the ambition," a source told Rob Shuter. "They want a magnificent country estate where they can entertain, enjoy privacy and live the lifestyle they imagine for themselves. But a £10 million house is simply beyond their reach right now."
Another insider claims their search has met with a roadblock. "Their house hunt has effectively stalled. They haven't found anything they both love that they can realistically afford," another insider revealed to Naughty But Nice. "It's extraordinary that a couple who talk so much about independence are once again relying on a billionaire friend to provide them with somewhere to live."
The couple's existing properties could also factor into their plans. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to own their $14.5 million Montecito mansion in California. While selling it could potentially free up funds for a UK purchase, the report does not suggest that they are preparing to put it on the market.

Dafne Keen revealed she was offered cocaine at Hollywood wrap parties when she was just 11.
On the Nov. 3 episode of the "Inside of You" podcast, the "Logan" star, now 21, shared that she has never been "drunk enough" to have a hangover because of what she witnessed from the Los Angeles party scene as a child actress.
"I'm such a control freak with that because also I think as a child actor I witnessed so much of that as a child that I just had no interest," she said. "I was getting offered ******* e at wrap parties. Like, tiny. Like 11, 12, 13. So I saw what that was, so I was like, 'I don't really have any interest in that.'"
She emphasized that she was "saying no, fortunately."
As a teenager, the "His Dark Materials" actress said she would lie and tell people she wasn't sober so she wouldn't get peer pressured. "I'd be like, 'Nah, I'm good. I don't wanna drink. I already took something.' Dead sober. Like, the goodest goody-two-shoes ever."

WASHINGTON (AP) — At the urging of President Donald Trump, Republicans in eight states redrew the boundaries of dozens of congressional districts over the past year while angling for an edge that could help them hold onto a slim House majority in a tough midterm election.
Ultimately, it didn't work.
Republicans lost most of the Democratic-held seats they had targeted to flip, lost others they had banked on retaining and got swept out of power by a Democratic surge fueled by voter dissatisfaction with Trump, the economy and the war with Iran.
The Republican redistricting plan fell flat in Alabama, Florida and Texas. It got scuttled by courts in Missouri and then firmly defeated by its voters Tuesday. And it got offset in California, where a retaliatory Democratic redistricting flipped all five of the Republican-held seats it targeted.
"This is a catastrophic rebuke of Donald Trump's failed effort to gerrymander the country into oblivion to save the U.S. House of Representatives for himself," John Bisognano, president of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, said Wednesday.

Over-concentrating savings in a 401(k) creates a liquidity trap. Every dollar locked away carries a 10% penalty plus taxes if withdrawn early.
A spouse earning $45,000 should choose a Roth IRA over a Traditional 401(k), since low tax brackets make tax deferral nearly worthless today.
A Roth IRA conversion ladder and IRS Section 72(t) payments both allow penalty-free early retirement account access for households that over-saved in tax-deferred accounts.
Saving $1 million for retirement is a genuine milestone worth celebrating. Anyone who reaches that number is officially a millionaire, and the habits that got them there, paying themselves first and resisting lifestyle creep, are habits worth keeping for the long run. Once the celebrations settle, smart savers start asking harder questions. The Redditor highlighted below is doing exactly that: wondering whether continuing to pile money into a 401(k) is still the right move once seven figures are on the scoreboard.
After crossing that threshold, a conversation with a financial planner becomes more than just a good idea. The questions go well beyond monthly budgets. Choosing the right securities, maintaining a sound **** et allocation, and optimizing for taxes are the levers that can turn a first million into a far larger fortune over time.

Voters in seven states weighed in on property tax relief measures on Tuesday, part of an ongoing property tax revolt that has developed in recent years as home prices and **** sed values soared while incomes have largely failed to keep up. The outcomes were mixed, with voters in Florida and North Carolina overwhelmingly approving amendments designed to cut or cap taxes, while Wyoming and Oklahoma voters rejected tax-limiting measures.
The split results reflect the complicated trade-offs between limiting unpopular and fast-rising taxes and funding public services.
"Property tax bills are rising far faster than inflation and even home valuations," said Nicole Fox, a policy **** yst at the Tax Foundation. "People are noticing."
Read more: Democrats win Congress, eye healthcare, tariffs, and Trump's allies
The most sweeping effort to lower taxes came in Florida, where 62% of voters approved a major property tax cut that will increase the amount of a home's value that can be exempted from non-school homestead property taxes, effectively eliminating those taxes entirely in some parts of the state.

Washington — President Trump has been asking advisers around him and on the phone whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should stay in his job, following Republicans' catastrophic losses Tuesday night, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
Some White House aides have predicted some of the blame for GOP midterm losses will be trained on Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, who both played big roles in guidance on the Iran war.
Still, other sources said the president hasn't decided to replace Hegseth. Before the election, Democrats were already trying to impeach Hegseth, and the likelihood of an impeachment effort could increase with Democrats holding strong majorities in both chambers.
Vice President JD Vance is blaming the war for the GOP defeat. "The reason we lost is the war," he said in a lengthy post on X Wednesday morning.

The AI building boom just ran into politics, or at least the stocks behind the buildup did. On Wednesday, the day after Democrats won control of the House and Senate, investors dumped the companies that build data centers and supply their power and cooling equipment. By midmorning, Modine (NYSE:MOD) was down about 24%, Sterling Infrastructure (NASDAQ:STRL) about 19% and Comfort Systems USA (NYSE:FIX) about 16%. Even the industry's giants weren't spared: Vertiv (NYSE:VRT) and GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) were each down roughly 11% to 12%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 climbed about 2%.
So, what spooked investors? And is this the kind of drop worth buying?

A Democratic House was largely expected, so much of that was largely priced in, but one of the bigger shocks came from Texas, where Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated Republican Gov. Greg Abbott after campaigning for an immediate moratorium on new data centers. That's a big deal, because Texas holds about 27% of the data center capacity planned in the U.S., according to Wells Fargo.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk joked on Wednesday about Republicans' defeat in US midterm elections after spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help the party.
Democrats seized control of the US Congress on Tuesday, capturing both the Senate and House of Representatives in a stunning rejection of President Donald Trump's political agenda.
"Guess my election-interfering **** e lasers didn't work this time," Musk said on X, including the shrug emoji.
Musk contributed nearly half a billion dollars to Republican political efforts, making him the largest individual contributor in a federal election cycle since unlimited election spending was allowed in 2010, according to campaign finance tracker OpenSecrets.
His donations have mostly gone to his Republican-leaning America PAC, as well as to the Republican Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) super PAC.

BUFFALO Funds, an actively managed mutual fund advised by Kornitzer Capital Management, released its third-quarter 2026 investor letter for "Buffalo Growth Fund". The letter can be downloaded here. The Buffalo Growth Fund advanced 4.57% in Q3, significantly outperforming the Russell 3000® Growth Index's 0.45%. The primary driver of this outperformance was stock selection in Information Technology, particularly among hyperscaler stocks that benefited from higher cloud revenue. However, rising oil prices and inflation challenged the market, prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates for the first time since July 2023 and prompting caution within the Fund. The fund has reduced some positions, noting the cost of capital's impact on business models. There is optimism for hyperscalers following the upcoming Anthropic IPO, which could provide investor transparency for future capex. Also, check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its Q3 2026 investor letter, Buffalo Growth Fund noted that it sold its position in SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) during the quarter. SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is a US-based semiconductor company that provides data storage devices and solutions using NAND flash technology for AI developers and enterprise workloads. On November 03, 2026, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) closed at $1,126.52, with a $160.29 billion market capitalization. Driven by strong momentum, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) has surged 335.83% year-to-date, trading within a 52-week range of $164.56 to $2,354.39.
Buffalo Growth Fund stated the following regarding Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) in its Q3 2026 investor letter:
"In the previous quarter we determined the portfolio was lacking exposure to the memory ***** e and initiated small positions in both Micron and Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK). Unfortunately, the timing on Sandisk was poor as the stock advanced rapidly through the end of June and then experienced the bottom drop out with nasty momentum unwind in July. We decided to take losses on Sandisk and move on from a ***** e that has historically been incredibly cyclical. Typically, cyclical businesses like this aren't where we focus our time and this experience reminded us of that."
Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is not on our list of the 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 128 hedge fund portfolios held Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) at the end of the second quarter which was 114 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Living off $10,000 a month, or $120,000 a year, in retirement may seem like plenty. It's $2.4 million if you retire at 65 and live 20 years, and nearly double the $5,094 a month not-yet-retired Americans polled by Schroders for its 2026 US Retirement Survey said they would be comfortable with.
But how far $10,000 in monthly income goes in retirement depends on where you retire. The cost of living, including rent, groceries, healthcare, utilities, transportation, and taxes, varies from place to place. The good news is that, except in cities such as New York or Los Angeles, $10,000 a month goes a long way.
But how much? From Florida to Texas, here's a look at how much $10,000 a month gets you in five popular retirement destinations across the country.
Ranked the best place to retire in 2026 by WalletHub, Orlando is popular with retirees because of its warm climate, countless golf courses, and tax-friendly policies — including no income, estate, or inheritance tax. The city boasts several music venues, art galleries, fishing facilities and adult volunteering opportunities.

The biggest market gains don't always go to the investors who buy first. Sometimes they go to the ones who have enough cash left when everyone else is rushing for the exits.
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban made that case last week on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast, urging investors to be patient as AI-related stocks surge. His advice is to resist the urge to chase every rally, keep some cash available and wait for the market to turn. That's when he believes the real opportunity appears.
"When that happens, that's when the real magic happens and where the real money is made," Cuban said. "The delayed gratification."
Cuban's approach reflects a lesson he ***** ociates with late Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK) (NYSE:BRK) Vice Chair Charlie Munger. In a conversation about long-term thinking and the temptation of get-rich-quick schemes, he pointed to Munger's belief that meaningful rewards require patience and effort.
"Even Charlie Munger used to say it all the time, right? There's no delayed gratification anymore. Never," Cuban said. "And if you don't realize you have to do the work first, you're not going to get the gratification."

Prince Harry has been warned that his public comments about the royal family could undermine his hopes of reconciling with King Charles and Prince William. Reputation expert Eric Schiffer believes the Duke of Sussex needs to stop discussing his family publicly, particularly after his recent GQ interview reignited debate about the royal rift. Harry has openly expressed his desire to repair his relationships with his father and brother following his return to Britain. However, Schiffer argues that the prince's continued willingness to discuss private family matters could make that process more difficult. The warning comes as Harry attempts to settle back into British life with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
MEGA
According to Daily Express US, reputation expert Eric Schiffer believes Harry's approach to repairing his family relationships could be doing more harm than good. Schiffer suggested that the Duke's public comments reveal what he described as a "discipline challenge" and a failure to consider the "second-order effects" of his actions. The expert's criticism followed Harry's recent GQ interview, in which the prince discussed returning to Britain, raising his children closer to his relatives, and his hopes of moving past years of family tensions. Schiffer argued that reconciliation remains possible but warned that Harry needs to demonstrate greater restraint.
"And the best action is no action in terms of talking," the reputation expert advised.
His comments suggest that Harry's efforts to explain his position publicly may be counterproductive, particularly when he is seeking to rebuild trust with relatives who have largely avoided discussing their disagreements in interviews.

Madison Beer is now a Fortnite character wearing cheeky micro shorts with a fitted top. On November 3, her stylist shared a series of photos featuring the "Reckless" singer in the gaming-inspired ensemble on Instagram. Beer embodied an action heroine gaming avatar, blending classic combat gear elements with a bold streetwear silhouette.
Take a look at Madison Beer wearing shorts and a fitted top:
Madison Beer wore a tight-fitting, crew-neck, short-sleeved T-shirt in dark navy blue that hugs her torso. She paired the top with high-cut white mini shorts. Together, the pieces created a high-contrast foundation, highlighting the dark leather belt rig that draped diagonally across her hips.
The songstress wore a structured, dark brown leather chest harness, a matching dark brown leather utility belt, and a drop-leg holster. She also added some knitwear elements such as fingerless gloves and matching thick ribbed light gray thigh-high knit socks or leg warmers. She let her brown hair fall freely down her back and over her shoulders to complete the look.

Democrats have regained control of Congress, winning back the U.S. House and Senate as Republican midterm losses mount.
Coming into the night, Republicans held 53 of the Senate's 100 seats, compared with 45 held by Democrats. To wrest back control of the Senate, Democrats needed a net gain of at least four seats. As at 6 a.m. ET on Wednesday, the Democrats had won 54 Senate seats to the GOP's 44.
Democrats won a series of key Senate seats. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed defeated Mike Rogers in one of the most closely watched races. James Talarico beat Republican Ken Paxton in Texas, becoming the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in the Lone Star State since 1988.
Annie Andrews beat GOP Sen. Darline Graham in South Carolina to flip a Senate seat. In Maine, Democrat Troy Jackson defeated incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins, putting an end to her three-decade tenure. Sen. Jon Ossoff comfortably won reelection in Georgia. Other Senate seats to flip to the Democratic Party included Roy Cooper in North Carolina and Sherrod Brown in Ohio.
In the 435-seat House, the GOP held 218 seats, compared with 214 held by Democrats. To retake control of the House, Democrats needed a net gain of three seats — and the AP said early Wednesday that the party had exceeded that figure.

Buying a new car is getting harder just as Ford Motor's stock is having one of its best days of the year.
Ford (F) shares jumped 12.4% Thursday after the automaker delivered better-than-expected adjusted earnings and raised the bottom end of its annual profit outlook.
For shareholders, that was welcome news.
For someone walking into a dealership, Ford's results revealed a less comfortable trend.
From a previous forecast of around $2 billion, Ford now anticipates increased commodity expenses of nearly $2.5 billion this year. The cost of steel, copper, computer chips, gasoline, and transportation is all rising.

The nest egg needed to support a comfortable retirement varies widely by state.
Couples receiving dividend income may need a smaller nest egg, but those payments can fluctuate and aren't guaranteed.
Monthly dividends totaling $500 to $2,000 can shrink the required invested nest egg by $150,000 to $600,000.
Building a stream of dividend income is a common retirement strategy, giving couples regular cash flow that can help cover expenses without requiring them to sell as much of their portfolio.
An Investopedia ****** ysis found that a typical American couple age 65 or older needs about $1.16 million saved for a comfortable retirement after accounting for roughly $37,700 a year in Social Security. Across the 50 states and Washington, D.C., that figure ranges from about $800,000 to nearly $1.33 million.
