A Grade II-listed house in Windsor Great Park, Royal Lodge served as a childhood country retreat for the late Queen Elizabeth. For Her Majesty, the Georgian-style estate, which boasts 30 rooms, a swimming pool, chapel, and several cottages, held many childhood memories, and to this day, Y Bwthyn Bach – the two-storey thatched playhouse gifted to Elizabeth in 1932 – stands on its 98 acres of land.

While the late Queen spent her final years at Windsor Castle, and of course, her beloved Balmoral Castle, Royal Lodge remained in use, and from 2004 to 2026, was the home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The property has remained empty ever since King Charles' disgraced brother was evicted from his home of 24 years in February following a string of scandals, including concern over his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Following his arrest on 19 February, Andrew, 66, is facing allegations of misconduct in public office, with police investigating claims that he shared confidential information during his appointment as the UK's trade envoy.

Keith Urban isn't beating himself up about Nicole Kidman's new man, a source tells the National Enquirer.
On Friday, July 24, Page Six published photos of the Big Little Lies star, 59, lounging by the pool in Portofino, Italy with private equity investor Michael Reinstein. One day earlier, the pair were also photographed at a hotel, per the outlet.
"Among their friends, it's common knowledge they've both been moving on in their own ways," spills the source. "They'd just been very stealthy about it."
As the Enquirer previously reported, Urban, 58, has gone to extreme lengths to keep his own post-divorce dating life on the down-low, refusing to meet dates out in public and even having them sign strict non-disclosure agreements.
"It's become this cat-and-mouse game because Keith does not want to be the one who goes public with someone before Nicole does," the source reveals.

IfJay Shetty was going to level up his podcast, he figured he needed to upgrade the studio in which he records it. So before his seven-year-old show, On Purpose, relaunched this month on Netflix, the 38-year-old self-help guru says he spent around $500,000 to renovate the ****** e with specific colors and custom artwork (such asincluding a piece of glass covered in bubble wrap) to evoke the kind of vulnerability and fragility he hopes to encourage from his guests.
Sitting inside his sprawling Hollywood Hills home, worth an estimated $8 million, Shetty's digs are a far cry from the Hindu monk principles of humble detachment he once practiced and has encouraged to display. But for a star in media's hottest category—who recently signed a new podcast deal with Spotify and Netflix that will pay him a combined $100 million over the next three years—the studio and residence are fitting.
"I mean, I'm not a monk anymore," Shetty tells Forbes. "Today I consider myself an entrepreneur and a leader in this ****** e, and that allows me to have the ability to use money as a resource to do good in the world and create impact in the way that we've chosen to do that."
For top podcasters like Shetty, the money has also never been better. The entry of video platforms such as Netflix, Hulu and Tubi into a still-frothy marketplace of audio distributors (including Spotify, SiriusXM and Amazon) have pushed paydays into territory once reserved for movie stars. Shetty earned an estimated $21 million over the past 12 months from his previous podcast distribution and ad sales agreement with iHeart Media (before paying taxes and fees to agents and managers) and he i's in line to make far more from his new deal.
He is pouring those earnings into an expanding business portfolio, investing in the Austin-based blood testing company Function Health and founding his own sparkling tea brand, Juni. He also has a production company, Perfect Strangers, which produces the podcast Friends Keep Secrets and has a handful of TV projects in development. The goal, Shetty says, is to build a "conscious empire" of content and products promoting physical and mental health.

Ramadan "The Scorpion" Ondash and Abdallah Ondash are brothers, close friends, and ruthless training partners who have spent much of their lives pushing each other toward the highest levels of Muay Thai.
The 19-year-old Ramadan will face former friend Johan "Jojo" Ghazali in a flyweight Muay Thai co-main event of The Inner Circle 24 on Friday, July 31.
Six years his senior, Abdallah will compete earlier that evening when he seeks revenge against Chokpreecha PK TomTKalaiyont in a strawweight rematch. The event streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The Lebanese siblings have already competed on the same ONE Championship card four times, winning every bout between them. Remarkably, each brother has suffered only one promotional setback, and both defeats came when the other was not competing alongside him.
Martial arts has always occupied an important place in the Ondash family. Their father was a wrestler, while their brother Ahmad became the first family member to seriously pursue Muay Thai and later opened a gym in Lebanon.

Bam Adebayo said he has no hard feelings toward LeBron James' surprising decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason. However, the Miami Heat star let James know he'll be coming for him the next time they meet on the NBA court.
Speaking at a community event in Miami on Tuesday, Adebayo revealed his text to James after the latter spurned the Heat for the Sixers, which feels like friendly banter for these two stars, given they've built a friendship in the past few years.
"There ain't no disappointment. To me, you should always be happy for a person and their decision. He made a decision where he feels like it's his best situation to win. And I feel like I'm a good friend of LeBron's," Adebayo told the Miami Herald.

Aaron Rodgers has officially ended the speculation. He stated there is "zero debate" regarding his future. The four-time MVP confirmed 2026 will be his last season. This news arrives as he reports for his 22nd NFL training camp. Fans can stop guessing about his next move. The decision is final and clear. Rodgers wants to play his final year with freedom.
Rodgers spoke after a conditioning test in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He echoed a sentiment he shared back in May. He admitted he thought last year might be his finale. Then head coach Mike McCarthy got hired by the Steelers. Rodgers discussed the situation with his wife. She told him he could play one more year. The pieces finally came together for this reunion. Rodgers dismissed any idea of changing his mind later. He shook his head firmly when asked about returning. "No," the veteran quarterback said. "Zero debate. Zero."
Not everyone agrees that the decision is permanent. Wide receiver DK Metcalf offered a different perspective to local media. He refused to rule out another year for Rodgers. Metcalf noted that players often speak at the start of a year. They do not know how the season will unfold. He suggested Rodgers might not even get hit this year. If that happens, he could say "let's go out there and do another one." Metcalf believes this mindset puts a weight off Rodgers' back. The quarterback is playing free and enjoying time with close friends. Yet Rodgers remains firm on his timeline. He is not leaving the door open for a 2027 campaign.
This situation marks a significant reunion for Rodgers and McCarthy. The head coach previously coached Rodgers for 13 seasons in Green Bay. That partnership began in 2005 during Rodgers' second NFL season. Now they work together again in Pittsburgh. The context of their history adds weight to this final chapter. Rodgers values the chance to close his career with his old coach. This specific dynamic likely influenced his decision to stay for one more year. The team environment feels right for a final run.
Rodgers made the right call by locking in this timeline. Uncertainty drains energy from a player's performance. Knowing the end date allows him to focus entirely on winning. He does not need to worry about contract extensions or future plans. This clarity helps him play with the freedom Metcalf described. The pressure of the "what if" scenario is gone. It is time to enjoy the game without looking ahead. His confidence in this decision shows his maturity as an athlete.

To say Angus Doig did not expect to win Commonwealth Games weightlifting bronze would be an understatement.
The 27-year-old firefighter was 27kg behind the leader at halfway in the 88kg category. After making his three clean and jerks he finished around 25kg short of what would normally be considered the mark for a medal.
Perhaps understandably, Doig gathered up his things and headed off to meet his friends and family.
But, one by one, those ahead of him faltered and Doig had to make his way back to the warm-up area. He was there in time to see the decisive failure by South Africa's Will Swart, which ensured he would finish in a remarkable third place.
"When I heard the barbell hit the platform I knew he'd missed it," the Scot, who trains along at his garage in the Peak District of England said. "It's absolutely unbelievable – and here I am back doing more interviews."

Sophie Cunningham has won a lot of supporters away from the hardwood this month thanks to her comments on transgender athletes, but just as she has doubled-down, one of her closest friends since childhood in Columbia, Missouri has declared he isn't on her bandwagon.
West Wilson, Cunningham's friend since high school, serves as her co-host on the Show Me Something podcast. Over the weekend, he posted a viral TikTok video in defense of trans athletes.
"Transgender athletes in American sports is such a borderline non-existent issue. Right-wingers have convinced a massive portion of people in our country that these people are, like, a threat to sports in America, when mathematically it's not the case at all," said Wilson, 31. Fans of the reality show Summer House may remember Wilson as one of the housemates. And just like on TV, he's not shy about his opinion on this divisive issue.
"By continuing to platform this, ***** politicians, athletes, journalists, news outlets, you're only isolating transgender people even more by making them seem like this giant group of people is a threat to society, a threat to sports, when that's just not proportionately the truth in any capacity."
While not addressing Cunningham directly, he made it clear he thinks rants like hers are "dumb."

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – Charley Hull admits she never watches YouTube golf but nevertheless has decided to launch her own YouTube channel.
"Sweet Spot Golf" makes its debut this week with a tour 'round Royal Lytham and St. Annes, site of this week's AIG Women's British Open. Hull hosts the channel alongside good friend Ryan Evans, the guy she bet 10,000 pounds that she could quit smoking.
"Ryan is one of my very good friends, my best friends, and he's played golf with me since I was 10, 11 years old," she said during a pre-tournament press conference. "We was just playing loads of golf rounds last year, and like some of the rounds I was – I think one of the rounds I was 8 under through nine holes and then he birdied six of last seven holes to then be all square.
"I turned around to him I was like, oh, my gosh, like we have like played so well and like had so much banter in this round. Imagine someone recording this. It would be hilarious. He was like, yeah, and I was like, maybe we should start our own YouTube channel like joking around.
"I actually never watched YouTube golf, just to let you guys know. So then we've just thought, screw this, go ahead with it, and, yeah, launched it the other day."

"We was just playing loads of golf rounds last year, and like some of the rounds I was – I think one of the rounds I was 8 under through nine holes and then he birdied six of last seven holes to then be all square.
"I turned around to him I was like, oh, my gosh, like we have like played so well and like had so much banter in this round. Imagine someone recording this. It would be hilarious. He was like, yeah, and I was like, maybe we should start our own YouTube channel like joking around.
"I actually never watched YouTube golf, just to let you guys know. So then we've just thought, screw this, go ahead with it, and, yeah, launched it the other day."

Speaking at a Presse Club München event, Jan-Christian Dreesen made it crystal clear that Michael Olise will be staying at Bayern Munich.
"Yes, of course [he will stay]. (…) [There was] no call, no letter and no fax from Real Madrid," the Bavarian club's chairman explained.
Furthering his stance on the issue, Dreesen said he was bowled over by the amount of fake news linking Olise to the Galacticos.
"It's astonishing what [rumours] can end up being spread when you know yourself what the truth actually is.
"It's really quite interesting. I've honestly lost count of how many times I've been asked by friends [regarding Olise's future].

"It's always gonna be Udonis Haslem," Wade said. "Anybody that is going to protect you on the basketball floor, that's going to be your favorite teammate. Because I used to pop my s*** a little bit and I didn't know if I really wanted to fight.
"After we fake tough guys, we ain't grow up fighting. We was hooping. So UD always came to my defense. So that's always going to be my favorite team. I love you, boy."

Olivia Rodrigo stepped out in a micro minidress from Gimaguas held up by just two strings, making a striking fashion statement. The "drivers license" hitmaker is known for blending chic style with glamorous vibes. This time, she opted for a look that perfectly combined modern allure with laid-back fashion, making heads turn.
Olivia Rodrigo turned heads in a striking micro minidress by Gimaguas, held up by just two delicate strings. The singer-songwriter shared the look in a vibrant photo dump capturing a fun outing with friends. With this bold fit, Rodrigo continues to prove she is the ultimate queen of effortless fashion.
The photos perfectly resonate with her signature aesthetic: relaxed, laid-back fashion that never compromises on glamor. For the occasion, she turned to the Spanish label Gimaguas. Founded by twin sisters Claudia and Sayana Durany, the brand is celebrated for its clean silhouettes and craft-inspired designs — both of which were reflected in Rodrigo's dress.
The dress featured two thin straps and a deep neckline for a bold touch. The upper bodice was a sleek black colour, which then flared into a pink skirt with a pleated design. The dress had a flowing design that lent it a soft and feminine vibe, while the deep back further elevated its daring appeal.
In one of the photos, she paired the look with black sunglasses while posing for the camera. Rodrigo kept her makeup and hair as understated as possible, wearing her hair down with a soft pink lip shade that perfectly complemented the outfit.

Cher is dealing with a huge amount of personal and legal stress, and a source exclusively tells the National Enquirer that the music icon's friends are worried she might be at her breaking point.
The "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer, 80, recently learned she will have to pay more than $1 million in her own attorney fees after a judge denied her request to have Sonny Bono's widow, Mary Bono, reimburse the legal costs she incurred during their lengthy royalties dispute, per People.
Even though Cher won the underlying lawsuit over unpaid royalties, the court ruled that each side is responsible for paying their own legal fees.
"Cher is furious that she's having to shell out all this money, she doesn't understand how she can be on the hook for a million bucks when she won the case. It feels incredibly unjust," the source says. "She has the money, and she can pay, but it's the principal of it that's really upsetting her."
However, according to the source, the legal setback is only one piece of a particularly stressful time in the Burlesque star's life, and her main worries are due to her son Elijah Blue Allman.

We've reached the end of another week folks. That means it's time for us to kick our feet up, perhaps enjoy time with family and friends, and maybe even enjoy an adult beverage if you're of age. Me? I decided to travel to St. Louis and so today I was up in the Gateway Arch. But, that can't stop me from getting these results to you readers. I know how important this is to each and every one of you.
This week I asked about the newest Purdue men's basketball player Enzo Shahrvin. He's got a visa to be in the country from France, but will the NCAA clear him to play? That's the million dollar question right now. And so, it was the question I asked you this week. So, let's get to the results!
An incredibly optimistic 76% of voters think the NCAA will clear Enzo. I gotta be honest, that seems incredibly optimistic. Trying to predict the NCAA seems to be a fool's errand these days. Will they crack down on foreign professionals or will they continue to judge them on a case by case basis? As Casey pointed out when I chatted with him on Thursday, it seems likely that Matt Painter did his due diligence on this before making the offer. Now, all we can do is wait.
Keep an eye on FanDuel to see if the addition of Enzo changes the Boilermakers odds of winning the conference or winning it all.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Friends and family of Minnesota Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman said the man sentenced Thursday to two life terms plus 40 years after pleading guilty to her murder failed to eliminate her legacy but caused enduring fear and fury as he changed their lives forever.
Fellow lawmakers and survivors of the shooting spoke Thursday at the sentencing hearing for Vance Boelter, the man who pleaded guilty last month to federal charges related to the killing of former House Speaker Hortman and her husband, Mark, as well as critically wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
Boelter, 59, agreed to plead guilty in June, almost a year after the Minneapolis-area attacks, so federal prosecutors would not seek the death penalty. Mark Hortman's father and siblings voiced anger that he could not be sentenced to death.
U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim said it was "the longest sentence I have imposed after hearing thousands of cases over the years, but I do believe it is deserved."
In court Thursday, Sen. Hoffman said he and his family are constantly reminded of the extraordinary violence of that night, even in the mundane details of day-to-day life. He said they don't receive mail at home anymore, they have installed solid steel doors for protection, and they have changed how they do everyday tasks because of their injuries.

Last month, USC baseball lost pitching coach Sean Allen, who was named the new head coach at Lamar. To replace him, the Trojans hired Hawaii’s Keith Zuniga. However, it appears as though that will not be the only **** istant coaching change that Andy Stankiewicz and USC make this offseason.
On Wednesday, it was reported that hitting coach and recruiting coordinator Travis Jewett will be leaving the Trojans for Vanderbilt, where he will take over as the de facto general manager. However, it took less than a day for USC to find his replacement, as Wednesday night, reports surfaced that the Trojans will be hiring veteran **** istant and longtime friend of Stankiewicz Bill Mosiello as their new hitting coach.
“Mosiello comes to USC after being an **** istant at several big-name programs in his career, including Cal State Fullerton, Arizona State, and four different schools now in the SEC,” Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports wrote. “But he is most well known as being a top **** istant at TCU for 11 of the last 13 years where he helped push the program to new heights. The Horned Frogs went to four consecutive College World Series appearances from 2014 to 2017 with Mosiello as the hitting coach.
“He had been the **** ociate head coach under Kirk Saarloos the last two seasons after a two-year stint as Ohio State's head coach. He went 60-51 with the Buckeyes and took them to their first Big Ten Tournament in a half decade in 2024, but left the position to return to Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs saw dividends right away as the team average improved 25 points in 2025, and TCU returned to the NCAA tournament (only to be beaten by USC) after not making it in 2024.
“But after TCU struggled to meet expectations this season, missing the postseason for just the second time in Mosiello's 11 years with the program, the Horned Frogs made multiple changes to their **** istant coaching staff, including parting ways with Mosiello. That opened the door for Mosiello and Stankiewicz to finally unite after more than 50 years of friendship.”
