On her wedding day in 2018, Meghan Markle turned heads wearing Queen Mary's iconic Diamond Bandeau tiara. However, as the world watched her marry Prince Harry, the glittering heirloom was already at the centre of a behind-the-scenes row.
In the run-up to the ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor, the tiara caused a clash between the Prince, his bride, and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, with recollections varying about the dispute.
There were different versions about the dispute (@ Getty Images)
Royal author Robert Hardman detailed the row in his new book, Queen Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. The Inside Story, serialised in the Daily Mail in April 2026. He gave new details about the clash, claiming that tensions began when the late Queen hoped to "bond" with Meghan by offering her a tiara from her royal collection – only for the bride-to-be to show up with Prince Harry.
Hardman writes: "Another pre-wedding row, which would continue to create headlines years after the wedding, concerned Meghan's choice of tiara. The Queen much enjoyed offering a piece from her own tiara collection to a royal bride, when required."

Barry Keoghan has built a career by choosing characters that are rarely easy to understand. The Irish actor can appear vulnerable in one film and deeply unsettling in the next, often bringing an unpredictable quality to his performances. His journey into acting was equally unconventional, beginning far from the traditional routes into the entertainment industry. A difficult childhood in Dublin shaped his early years, while an unexpected opportunity introduced him to acting. Since then, Keoghan has developed into an internationally recognized performer with roles spanning independent dramas, major blockbusters and psychological thrillers.
Born in Dublin, Keoghan experienced considerable instability while growing up. His mother struggled with drug addiction and died when he was young, and he and his brother spent several years in foster care before being raised largely by their grandmother and aunt. Despite his later success, Keoghan has spoken warmly about returning home and immediately slipping back into ordinary family life, joking that celebrity status does not excuse him from making his bed or cleaning up after himself.
His entrance into acting came almost by chance. As a teenager, Keoghan noticed a casting advertisement in a local shop window for the Irish crime film Between the Canals. He responded despite having little professional experience and eventually secured a role. Television work followed, including the Irish drama Love/Hate, helping him develop his craft and attract greater attention.
His international profile grew dramatically in 2017. Keoghan appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk as George Mills, a young civilian caught up in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France. That same year, he delivered a very different performance opposite Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer. As the mysterious Martin, Keoghan demonstrated the unnerving screen presence that would become one of his greatest strengths.
Rather than remaining within one genre, he continued moving between dramatically different projects. He entered the Marvel universe as Druig in Eternals, appeared in The Green Knight and gained major acclaim for Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. His performance as Dominic Kearney earned him a BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

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.

LOCHIEL, Ariz. — For more than two months, activists sat high up in the branches of a giant cottonwood tree here on the border with Mexico in an effort to block federal contractors from knocking it down to make way for President Donald Trump’s $46.5 billion border wall expansion.
But that standoff came to an end Monday when demonstrators say more than 50 Customs and Border Protection agents raided the activist camp and an excavator knocked down what they called a “grandmother” tree, estimated to be 150 to 250 years old.
Footage taken by protesters shows the massive tree crashing down as border agents look on, and the activists who worked to protect it wail.
“We have been raided, **** aulted, battered, bruised, bleeding by the Border Patrol agents,” said Kate Scott, an activist who kicked off the group’s tree sit, in a call following Monday’s raid. As CBP cleared the area, about 10 people were arrested, the group of activists estimates, and another 10 received citations, including for “violation of a closure order” for being in the border-wall zone.
At least one activist showed images of scrapes and bandages on a Monday video call.

Of the innumerable jewels in the royal vault there are only some that remain in popular rotation today, glittering pieces filled with history and meaning that have been re-worn for generations.
These beloved heirlooms offer us a rare insight into the personal styles of their famously private wearers; some are chosen for their timeless designs, others gently adapted over decades to suit the prevailing tastes.
From sparkling tiaras to romantic bracelets, these are the stories behind 11 of the Royal family's favourite pieces.
One of the most recognisable royal jewels, the Lover's Knot tiara, was commissioned by Queen Mary in 1913 from E Wolff & Co, who supplied Garrard. Its design replicates a 19th-century tiara owned by her grandmother, the ******* ss of Cambridge, and inherited by her "beloved Aunt" Augusta, Grand ******* ss of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
The piece is topped with heart-shaped bow motifs and was originally set with 38 pearls (19 dangling, 19 upright). Queen Mary later had the upper pearls removed and replaced with enormous diamonds.

Wynonna Judd is opening up about the surprising way she found out that her family was growing.
Speaking to People about her upcoming album, The Hard Truth — which she said is inspired by her strained relationship with her daughter, Grace Kelley — the country singer, 62, revealed she learned about 30-year-old Kelley's reported pregnancy through a TikTok video.
While Judd is already a grandmother to Kelley's 4-year-old daughter, Kaliyah, whom Judd and her husband of 12 years, Cactus Moser, legally adopted and are raising, she said she found out she might have another grandchild on the way after Us Weekly broke the news in August that Kelley, who is currently serving a 15-month sentence in a Virginia jail, requested a since-denied temporary release to give birth at a hospital.
"Isn't that crazy? I laid there, and I was shocked, just like you would imagine. And I cried and cried and cried and cried, because I have another grandbaby, I think," Judd, who is also a grandmother to Hazel, 2, via her son, Elijah Kelley, revealed.

Slow Sundays in autumn call for woodland walks, and Meghan Markle is clearly embracing British country life after sharing heartwarming family footage on Instagram - her first as a UK-based royal.
The video featured her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Lilibet looked so sweet as she was filmed determinedly riding her bike.
The redheaded royal had her fiery mane swept up in a bun as she confidently rode a bike that had pink tassels on the handlebars while her big brother Archie ran alongside her.

A grandmother has described being "shell shocked" at becoming one of the joint winners of the official Black Pudding Throwing World Championships.
June Weir, 73, from Wilpshire, Lancashire, said she was delighted to become the first female to win the annual event at The Oak pub in Ramsbottom, Bury, on Sunday.

Sexyy Red could be facing a $5 million judgment in a lawsuit brought by the grandmother of one of her children, but the money has not been awarded.
Nicole Barnes is asking a judge to enter a default judgment after claiming the rapper failed to respond to the case, according to new court documents obtained by TMZ. Barnes sued ****** yy Red in March 2025 over allegations that the rapper posted her home address online and encouraged followers to attack her.
Barnes says ordinary efforts to serve the lawsuit were unsuccessful and that she later served ****** yy Red through publication in a newspaper. She now argues that the lack of a response entitles her to a default judgment for $5 million.
Sexyy Red is disputing the underlying case. Her attorney Jason Lampert told TMZ that the claims are "baseless and completely without merit" and said the rapper categorically denies the allegations and intends to defend herself. The judge has not yet ruled on Barnes' request.
Barnes filed the lawsuit on March 24, 2025, after an alleged social-media incident the previous December. The complaint alleges that ****** yy Red, whose legal name is Janae Wherry, posted Barnes' Hazelwood, Missouri, address and a photograph of her home on Facebook before encouraging her followers to "kick in the door" and harm her.

The San Francisco Giants notched a feel-good 5-4 win in extra-innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night at PNC Park.
The win ought to put a better taste in the team's mouth after Tuesday's loss in which they erased a five-run deficit in the eighth, but were walked off in the bottom of the ninth when Rafael Devers couldn't snag a tricky throw across the diamond from Osleivis Basabe.
Here are takeaways from the Giants' win:
Bryce Eldridge fastballs:
With his grandmother watching him play at the big league level for the first time - several days after his grandfather passed away - Eldridge delivered the go-ahead run with an RBI double smacked the other way in the 10th inning.

Now that Prince Harry has moved back to the U.K., there's a much higher chance that he'll run into his older brother, Prince William, whom he has been estranged from for years.
One "quite significant" event—the 30-year anniversary of their mother Princess Diana's death in 1997—could reunite the brothers face-to-face, according to royal biographer Robert Jobson.
Two fellow brothers could also play a role in bringing William and Harry "back together," according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.
This August 31 marks 29 years since Princess Diana's death at just 36 years old in a 1997 Paris car crash. Unbelievably, in 2027, 30 years will have passed since the seismic loss that was felt around the world—but none felt it more acutely than her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
The brothers aren't thought to have spoken to one another since 2022 and their grandmother Queen Elizabeth's funeral that September. Much has happened since that time, including—unexpectedly—Harry's return to the U.K. on August 26, alongside his wife Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Sussexes spent six years in the United States—Montecito, California, specifically—and are now back in Britain for what is being described as an extended stay.

Audrey Hepburn was a legendary actor and humanitarian. But she was also a major fashion and beauty muse who made a huge impact on Hollywood and pop culture, even long after her death. In fact, some of Audrey Hepburn's biggest skincare secrets are still so useful today. What you may not have known, however, is that she has an equally gorgeous and talented granddaughter named Emma Ferrer (full name Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer). Ferrer shares many similar traits with her famous grandmother, including the fact that they both studied ballet and pursued artistic endeavors. However, Ferrer took a different path, pursuing visual arts rather than acting, and she has a sleek signature style all her own.
Theo Wargo/Getty
Hepburn was often known for wearing cigarette pants, turtlenecks, and flats that were sleek and very trendy at the time. For her more formal looks, Hepburn was often seen in elegant and feminine A-line gowns (though column dresses were also a favorite of hers). Ferrer, though, has played around with more modern styles and doesn't shy away from shorter, form-fitting dresses and strappy heels — quite a departure from her grandmother's wardrobe. The artist has also shared photos of her outfits on Instagram, where she favors casual, menswear-inspired styles (much like Diane Keaton's iconic "Annie Hall" look).

King Haakon of Norway has several interesting connections to the British royal family
In addition to being distantly related via Queen Victoria and King Christian IX of Denmark, Princess Anne is also one of the new King's godparents
Queen Victoria is sometimes referred to as "the grandmother of Europe" for how many family trees have grown from her line of descendants
King Haakon VIII, the new King of Norway, shares several interesting connections with the British royal family.
The first and most obvious is the familial relations. Many of today's European royal families share connected bloodlines thanks to the strategic matchmaking of 19th-century monarchs like Queen Victoria and King Christian IX of Denmark. Queen Victoria, in particular, is sometimes referred to as "the grandmother of Europe" for how many family trees have grown from her line of descendants.

These breakout stars have leveraged their viral moments, relentless work ethic, and striking originality into sprawling empires, bestselling products, and global name recognition. Whether they became moguls, cultural icons, or meme supernovas, these reality stars proved that sometimes, fame itself becomes the star of the show.

Gerard Piqué has said his final goodbye to his paternal grandmother, Lina Rovira Montsant, who has passed away at the age of 102. After the wake, which took place at the Sant Guim de Freixenet funeral home between 5:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. last Tuesday, the family gathered for a funeral mass at the Sagrat Cor de Sant Guim church, in Lleida. Around noon, relatives and close friends of Lina arrived, including Gerard and his girlfriend, Clara Chía.

The former soccer player arrived with his partner, who has been his biggest support during this very delicate moment for Gerard Piqué and his family. Together with the athlete's parents, Joan Piqué and Montserrat Bernabéu, they walked in the funeral procession behind the car carrying the casket to the church. The photos obtained by ¡HOLA! Spain show Gerard Piqué with his head down and visibly affected, never letting go of Clara's hand, as she stayed close to him at all times.

She attended the funeral in a simple look made up of a short-sleeved black T-shirt and wide-leg beige pants, paired with black ballet flats and oversized sunglasses. The former athlete, for his part, wore a white polo shirt, wide-leg black pants and matching loafers.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A man killed eight of his relatives, including four children, as they gathered for Sunday dinner at a home in Billings, Montana, just weeks after his parents forced him to move out, a family member told The ****** ociated Press.
Brad Ireland, whose former wife and two children were among the dead, identified the shooter as 44-year-old Alan Smith. Smith's parents, who were also killed, had asked him to move out, but he returned on Sunday and opened fire, Ireland said.
The victims represented four generations of the blended family, ranging from a great-grandmother in her 90s who used a wheelchair to a 7-year-old girl, according to Jennifer Mercer, a neighbor and family friend who set up an online fundraiser to help cover funeral costs and other expenses, and was authorized to release these details.
Police said they responded to the home on Sunday evening and heard gunshots coming from out back, just before the house was completely engulfed in flames. Investigators confirmed Tuesday there were eight victims, including four children, and that the suspect had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound and later died.
The investigation has been complicated by concerns about the structural integrity of the house after the fire burned it to its foundation, said Jeff Stovall, a spokesperson for the Billings Police Department.

From acting and music to memorable red carpet appearances, Sofia Carson has created a career that crosses several corners of entertainment. Born Sofia Daccarett Char in Florida to a Colombian American family, she adopted the professional surname Carson in honor of her maternal grandmother, Lauraine Carson. Her interest in performing appeared early, with dance lessons beginning when she was three. Music remained an important ambition as she grew up, but acting eventually provided the breakthrough that introduced her to audiences around the world.
Carson's screen career gained momentum through Disney Channel, including an appearance on Austin & Ally. Her major breakthrough arrived in 2015 when she played Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen, in Descendants. The successful Disney musical fantasy gave Carson an opportunity to combine acting, singing and dancing, and she returned for its sequels. She later brought several of those skills together again in Purple Hearts, the 2022 Netflix romantic drama in which she starred and contributed to the music.
Her ambitions extend beyond entertainment. Carson has worked with UNICEF and has used her public platform to advocate for young people and humanitarian causes. She has described working with the organization as a longtime dream and emphasized the importance of young people using their voices to support meaningful change. For Carson, bringing artists, activists and advocates together can turn public attention into something more purposeful.
Fashion has become another defining part of Carson's public image. Her style can move from sophisticated tailoring and dramatic ballgowns to futuristic designs and relaxed off-duty outfits. That versatility has made her a familiar presence at major fashion events, where she has attended shows and developed relationships with prominent designers and luxury houses. Her red carpet choices often favor bold silhouettes while maintaining the polished aesthetic ****** ociated with her public persona.
Carson's career demonstrates how a modern entertainer can build an identity across multiple creative fields without being limited to one. Music, acting, advocacy and fashion have each become important parts of her story, while projects such as Descendants and Purple Hearts have allowed those talents to overlap. Whether appearing on screen, performing music, supporting humanitarian work or stepping onto a red carpet, Sofia Carson continues to shape a career built around creativity, versatility and a carefully defined sense of purpose.

While many members of the British royal family are named in honor of Queen Elizabeth, the late monarch isn't the only royal whose legacy lives on via a moniker.
Princess Charlotte and Princess Lilibet, for example, both have the middle name Diana in homage to their late grandmother, Princess Diana, who died in August 1997 at the age of 36.
The most recent addition to the royal family, meanwhile, is Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's daughter Adelaide, whose first middle name, Elizabeth, is a nod to Queen Elizabeth. The couple waited two weeks after Adelaide's birth to reveal her name.
"We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank," Eugenie wrote on Instagram on Aug. 17. "Named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts."
Here are 10 royal children whose parents named them after other members of the British royal family.

Princess Anne, 76, takes her role within the royal family very seriously, racking up a whopping 478 engagements in 2025. Despite being a decade past retirement age, the Princess Royal spends her days travelling up and down the country to greet people and represent the monarchy. When she does get downtime, she retreats to Gatcombe Park, her beloved country home in Gloucestershire, away from the glare of the spotlight. Insiders tell ***** O! what life is really like at her private home.
"Gatcombe is her bolthole, where she is not the Princess Royal – she is Anne," says Ailsa Anderson, a former communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth II. "It's a lot less formal; she has Zara and Mike still living on the estate, and Peter and Harriet nearby." The Princess Royal's daughter Zara lives at Aston Farm on the estate with her former rugby player husband Mike Tindall and their three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.

Royal author Robert Hardman agrees with Ailsa. "Gatcombe is her happy place; she's fundamentally a country person," he says. Her relationship with her children and grandchildren is "very no-nonsense", he adds. "It's very normal; there isn't any standing on ceremony, and she's the only one with a ***** le.
"She's a very good grandmother. She's hands-on, but like all grandchildren, I think they can get away with things. She dotes on them."

Candace Cameron Bure was pretty as a picture at her daughter's baby shower. Natasha Perry, daughter of the "Fuller House" star and former NHL All-Star forward, Valeri Bure, announced that she was expecting a baby with her husband, Bradley Steven Perry, in May 2026. To celebrate the arrival of their newborn, the Bure family and friends held a shower for Natasha on August 16, 2026 that looked as fun and joyful as could be. Perhaps best of all was the grandma-to-be Candace Cameron Bure, who stunned in a yellow, brown, and red striped dress.

Cameron Bure's look was a delightful contrast to the dreamy pastel tones surrounding her pregnant daughter. While Natasha looked like a goddess in her off-the-shoulder gown, the "Fuller House" star looked modern and playful wearing an asymmetrical neckline and white platform mules. The stylish outfit was further complemented by her cosmopolitan bob and gold, statement earrings. It was all the proof we need that grandmother style doesn't have to be frumpy.
Even more special was how well the looks perfectly complemented each other. Once upon a time, Cameron Bure and her daughter, Natasha, twinned in inappropriate wedding guest dresses, causing a huge stir. But at the baby shower, things were completely different. Instead, she and her daughter struck the perfect balance on such a sweet and sentimental day.

Queen Rania may have jumped straight into grandmother duties, cuddling her daughter Princess Iman's newborn twins, but she didn't waver from her usual pristine style.
Despite potential milk stains, the Jordanian royal was pictured cradling her new granddaughters in a chic pink and white outfit to match their blankets.
The 55-year-old recycled a short-sleeved shirt from Bite Studios, which she debuted in 2023 with a pastel blue pleated skirt from Joseph. For the sweet family moment, Rania paired the shirt with a pair of wide-leg trousers from Zimmerman, known as the 'Hypnotic' pants.

Alia Shawkat has finally addressed rumours that she once dated Brad Pitt.
The Arrested Development actress and the Oscar-winning actor sparked relationship speculation in November 2019 when they were photographed at an art exhibition together.
But during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, host Andy asked Alia whether the gossip was true.
"This is my favourite question to get asked. Um, no. He's just my friend. We became friends," she replied. "(Director) Spike Jonze introduced us. It sounds all very chic and Hollywood. But we met, and he's really into art, and he's very cool, and we became friends. And everyone thought we were dating, because if you stand next to him, everyone thinks you're dating. Like, even his own mother."
The Search Party star went on to recall how excited her grandmother was when she saw paparazzi photos of the pair.
"My grandmother saved Us Weekly. I was on the cover of it. There was a really bad photo, it was him and me being like, 'Oooh!' And they were like 'Who's the new girl?'" the 37-year-old continued. "And my Arabic grandmother (was thrilled). I was like, 'I've been working in film for 30 years, you've never seen anything, but you love this.'"

Salma Hayek is living her first days as a grandmother — and basking in the sweetness. Her stepson, François Pinault Jr., and his partner, Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, welcomed their first child last month, a boy the couple named François, continuing a naming tradition that stretches back four generations in the Pinault family.
Hayek marked the milestone with an Instagram video that's since melted a corner of the internet.

She paired the video with a caption honoring the family's lineage: "We are blessed to welcome the fourth living generation of Francois'." She also added a personal touch, pulled straight from her Mexican roots. "Although I will call him Panchito," she wrote. "He seems to love it, and I cannot love him more."
Panchito is a classic Mexican nickname for Francisco, in this case, François, and Hayek's choice to reach for it is very on-brand. Over the years, Hayek has long folded her heritage into her life, even when she and her daughter Valentina Paloma are the sole Spanish speakers in their home.
