As reported by The Sun, Markle Jr. discovered the material at their father's home in the Philippines and alerted the police, prompting the authorities to investigate the matter.
Meghan Markle's half-sister, Samantha Markle, has accused their brother, Thomas Markle Jr., of wanting to "destroy" their father, Thomas Markle Sr., amid an ongoing investigation into allegations that he possessed child ***** ual abuse material. According to the Daily Mail, the ***** ss of Sussex's father has denied the allegations, describing them as "sick lies."
Meanwhile, Samantha has publicly defended her father and hit back at Thomas Markle Jr., calling him a "liar" and the allegations against their dad "disgusting." Speaking to the Daily Mail, Meghan's half-sister dismissed the accusations and questioned her brother's motives. "There is no merit in these disgusting allegations whatsoever and my brother is disgusting for making them up. He wants to destroy our dad. Shame on him," she claimed.
Samantha further alleged that her brother's accusations were motivated by financial gain. According to her, the dispute began after their father stopped providing him with money. She told the publication, "My brother first came out with these lies a few weeks ago when the cash from my dad was cut off. He has used dad as a cash cow for years, and once the money stopped, he made up the most outrageous lies he could to try and make money from the media."

This past weekend marked our first UK basketball/football doubleheader, and now we're preparing for another with two games in Lexington this coming weekend for the Kentucky Wildcats.
On Friday, Mark Pope's Wildcats will face a stiff pre-season test, as the Texas Tech Red Raiders come to town. The Red Raiders are projected to be a top-25 team to start the season, but they currently face eligibility questions regarding some key players, including returners Darrion Williams and Donovan Atwell, as well as UCF transfer JaMichael Stillwell.
Star forward JT Toppin is also out this week as he continues to recover from a torn ACL that will likely keep him out until sometime in conference play.
Regardless, Texas Tech under Grant McCasland has been solid and should be a good measuring stick to see where this Kentucky team stands heading into the season.
Meanwhile, Kentucky Football returns home for an SEC matchup against Vanderbilt in front of what was recently announced as a sold-out crowd at Kroger Field.

Oct. 19—COLUMBIA — South Carolina returns from a bye week to take on No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday, the game kicking off at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN.
The Gamecocks (3-3, 1-3 SEC) re-started their season by whipping Florida 38-19 the last time out. Meanwhile, a Tennessee team (6-1, 3-1) that struggled to beat a bad Arkansas team and facing a quarterback controversy soundly defeated Alabama this week 26-10.
It will be the resumption of a series that was played every year since 1992 but has been on a brief hiatus. The Gamecocks won their last home game against the Volunteers but were pounded in the last game of the series, a 41-20 loss in Knoxville in 2023.
What time does Tennessee at South Carolina start?
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

FC Barcelona will fly to Paris later today as they get set to take on PSG in the UEFA Champions League tomorrow night in one of the most highly anticipated encounters of the league phase of the competition.
Ahead of their trip to France, manager Hansi Flick has announced the squad list of players who will be available at his disposal for the blockbuster clash.
As expected, Barça go into the game without several key players as both Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde miss out after getting injured this past weekend against Real Betis.
Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen also remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from his injury.
The number of defensive absences have led to Flick calling up young prospect Alex Campos to the squad to face Luis Enrique's side. The 18-year-old is a part of the Barça Atletic and could get an opportunity in the senior setup.

India arrive in New Zealand as world champions, having beaten the same opponents by 96 runs in the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad in March.
The five-match series now shifts to the Black Caps' backyard, where the T20I history between the sides is far tighter than that result suggests.
Shreyas Iyer leads a 16-man India squad that welcomes back Bhuvneshwar **** ar, who last played a T20I in November 2022. Meanwhile, Mitchell Santner captains the home side.
India last played T20Is here in November 2022, when Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 111 at Mount Maunganui set up a 65-run win. They took that series 1-0 after Wellington was abandoned and a rain-hit Napier game ended in a tie, so the record is worth a closer look.
Before the bilateral series kicks off in Christchurch on Thursday, The Sporting News takes a look at the record books.

We've got one ******* of an SEC season on our hands, huh?
No one is left undefeated, and the top of the table is a four-way tie between Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss, and… Kentucky?? And let's be honest, none of their losses were great. Tennessee dropped a home game to Texas, which has looked like a shell for two weeks. Georgia got punked by Auburn (again at home.) Ole Miss got run over by Florida which looks like the best or the worst team in the conference depending on when you tune in. And Kentucky didn't just get beat by Alabama in Lexington… they got waxed.
Mizzou fans might be down in the dumps after the Tigers' embarrassing showing in Oxford, but we're halfway through the season and have no idea how it's going to turn out. For all we know, Mizzou controls its own destiny. So it might as well start on Monday by resting up and getting ready for the Halloween showdown against Arky. Hopefully the rest of the conference can keep the chaos rolling in Week 8 and create an opening for Eli Drinkwitz's squad.
Some interesting lines this week for those of you watching. Auburn is getting no respect after waltzing into Athens and taking down Georgia, as they're giving 8.5 points to Lane Kiffin's up-and-down Bayou Bengals. Meanwhile, South Carolina is a one score favorite over conference leader Tennessee, while Texas – which is currently considering benching its two-year starter!! – is a 3.5-point favorite over an Ole Miss team that just beat a fellow ranked conference opponent by four scores.
Think you have any clue what's going to happen this week? Good for you. Check out the opening odds at FanDuel and press your luck. Because that's all you can count on at this point.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's plans for a more private Ohio retreat have run into some very public objections. Neighbors of the $5.35 million Lake Erie estate are challenging proposed landscaping and fencing, raising concerns about a shared sewer line, wildlife, and how the changes could affect their longtime homes.
A six-foot fence has already received approval, but parts of the landscaping remain unresolved. The property's representatives, meanwhile, say they have adjusted the plans, paid for sewer repairs and added gates to accommodate residents.
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
According to the Daily Mail, the dispute centers on an estate in Bratenahl, a village outside Cleveland. Property records cited by the outlet show that an LLC linked to Kelce purchased the mansion in March. The 21,000-square-foot property features eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and a two-bedroom guest cottage. Built in 1895, it also has a former ballroom converted into a game room and home theater.
But proposed changes to the grounds have become a sticking point with nearby residents. Katherine Bolton, who has lived next door for 35 years, described news of the new owners as a "tremendous blow" to "the peace and quiet in Bratenahl."

Ex-Prince Andrew reportedly does not have that much of a miserable life while in exile. The former Duke of York lost all his royal ******* les after the news of his scandalous past in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The former Prince also had to leave his long-time residence, the Royal Lodge, within Windsor Great Park, and move to the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. The new report came amid news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor challenging the British police warrants used to search two of his properties.
Ex-Prince Andrew has reportedly been "having a very nice time" while in exile in the middle of his ongoing scandal. As reported by The Royal Observer, a source made this claim about the former Duke of York to The Times.
The former Prince has been staying at the Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk after he had to leave his long-time residence, the Royal Lodge. According to the report, while moving away from a mansion with thirty rooms to a house with five bedrooms might appear to be a big loss, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has not completely lost his "charmed lifestyle."
Furthermore, per the news outlet, the insider told The Times that Ex-Prince Andrew "goes out, he goes off shooting with friends, he sees his old chums who are very loyal to him." According to the insider, the former Duke of York had not been "sitting around feeling sorry for himself any more." In the meantime, the former Prince's recent decision to take legal action against Thames Valley Police has caused quite the buzz among royal watchers.
Meanwhile, the publication further reported that the source also said to The Times that "There appears to have been a 'something must be done' moment where his lawyers, to appease him, will have said 'Don't worry, sir, we will handle it.'" This legal move came after the former Duke of York's arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Prince Harry and Prince William's feud might worsen if an ex-royal releases a tell-all book. According to a source, the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, might still have a lot to say about the Royal Family. It was said that they have kept their allegiance with Sarah Ferguson, who seemed to be planning a tell-all. Harry is allegedly "going all-out to ruin" William through his allies.
Prince William allegedly suspects Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are deliberately keeping Sarah Ferguson on their side. A source told Closer that the Sussexes have been "in touch" with Fergie and Earl Spencer. While the latter already dropped a bombshell Diana memoir, the former **** ss of York might still be in talks.
"While Sarah is insisting she's not going to write a tell-all book, she is apparently in talks, and if the money is right, she is definitely considering a memoir," the insider said. Furthermore, they claimed that Harry and Markle have allegedly been "trying to keep her on their side."
This way, the couple would reportedly have "some sort of control over what comes out." "They are keeping this allegiance firmly behind closed doors, but it's clear Harry is going all-out to ruin his brother, Prince William," they added.
Meanwhile, the senior royals, including King Charles, William, and Middleton, have seemingly been concerned about Ferguson's next move. They have already been dealing with Earl Spencer's memoir, which showed the king in a negative light. Now if Fergie did a tell-all, the royals fear it would be another crisis for the firm. "For Charles, William and Kate, it's another potential ticking time bomb," the source said.

For decades, no investment portfolio has been more closely watched by investors than Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRKA)(NYSE:BRKB). Now-retired CEO Warren Buffett always had a knack for spotting amazing deals hiding in plain sight, leading to a greater-than-6,000,000% outperformance of the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) since the mid-1960s.
But investors might not realize that a "secret" Buffett portfolio exists within Berkshire Hathaway. In the June-ended quarter, this $863 million portfolio sent shares of artificial intelligence (AI) superstars Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG) and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) packing. Meanwhile, this under-the-radar fund has built up a significant position in two S&P 500 index funds: the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT:SPY) and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:VOO).
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 14x 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 »

While the reinsurance operations were the crown jewel of this buyout, General Re also owned a specialty investment firm, New England ****** et Management (NEAM). When the deal closed in December 1998, NEAM became a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's daughter, Princess Lilibet, made an adorable appearance in the new As Ever video. Recently, the mother of two shared a reel on Instagram, introducing her brand's holiday collection. The princess accompanied her Mom in the kitchen and helped her make fruit jam.
In the clip, Markle seemed to be the one recording the adorable mother-daughter moment. She stirred the jam mixture on the stove, and just near the stove stood Lilibet. The little one appeared to be her mom's sous chef and business partner. She had a large bowl in front of her on the kitchen counter. Her tiny hand held a spatula as she spread the fruit jam.
Furthermore, Markle asked her kid, "What do you think, Lili?" The toddler looked over the pot on the stove and gave her verdict. "I think it's beautiful," she said. However, her face was not entirely shown in the clip.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's daughter, Princess Lilibet, made an adorable appearance in the new As Ever video. Recently, the mother of two shared a reel on Instagram, introducing her brand's holiday collection. The princess accompanied her Mom in the kitchen and helped her make fruit jam.
In the clip, Markle seemed to be the one recording the adorable mother-daughter moment. She stirred the jam mixture on the stove, and just near the stove stood Lilibet. The little one appeared to be her mom's sous chef and business partner. She had a large bowl in front of her on the kitchen counter. Her tiny hand held a spatula as she spread the fruit jam.
Furthermore, Markle asked her kid, "What do you think, Lili?" The toddler looked over the pot on the stove and gave her verdict. "I think it's beautiful," she said. However, her face was not entirely shown in the clip.

Princess Diana left behind one of the world's most recognizable jewelry collections, and decades after her death, several of its most sentimental pieces continue to appear on Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. Kate received perhaps the most famous jewel of them all: Diana's sapphire engagement ring. Meghan, meanwhile, has worn a broader **** ortment of personal pieces, including the late princess' Cartier watch and striking aquamarine **** tail ring. However, determining who received the "best" collection is not as simple as counting diamonds. Some jewels Kate wore belonged to Diana, while others remained part of the royal collection and were merely loaned to both princesses.

Diana reportedly made her wishes clear before her death in 1997.
"I would like you to allocate all my jewelry to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it," she stipulated in a letter accompanying her will, according to Vanity Fair.
The exact division between Prince William and Prince Harry has never been publicly disclosed. Nevertheless, the pieces their wives have subsequently worn offer occasional glimpses into how Diana's personal collection may have been distributed. Kate and Meghan have both used the jewels to honor the mother-in-law they never met. Their selections also reflect their different public lives: Kate regularly wears statement pieces at state occasions, while Meghan frequently incorporates Diana's more personal accessories into contemporary outfits.

The case involved seven charges in total: three counts of rape, three charges of ****** ual ****** ault and one allegation of indecent ****** ault. Brand pleaded not guilty to all the charges, which related to allegations involving six women.
According to Metro, Brand arrived at Southwark Crown Court with Laura and a security guard for the first of two pre-trial hearing days.

Meanwhile, his trial was scheduled to begin on Monday, October 12, and could continue for up to 10 weeks. Brand remained on bail as the criminal proceedings moved forward.
Brand pleaded not guilty in February. As he arrived at court at the time, he told Sky News that he was feeling "blessed" and carried a blue book bearing the words "Holy Bible," with post-it notes attached inside.

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly been warned that her feelings for Ben Affleck could end in "disaster." The former couple has always had a tumultuous relationship. They got engaged in 2002 but eventually called off their wedding. However, the pair reunited in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022.
They later split, and the singer filed for divorce in August 2024. Lopez's friends are reportedly worried that, if given the chance, she could get back together with Affleck, which they say would be a "disaster."
Jennifer Lopez is allegedly still attached to Ben Affleck, and that is concerning her inner circle. The couple has always had an on-and-off relationship. They got married in Las Vegas, and their divorce was finalized in early 2025. The "On the Floor" singer is currently single. However, a report by Heat World suggests that she may still be carrying feelings for her ex-husband.
The source said that Lopez keeps telling people that they are just friends and that she doesn't have any romantic feelings for him. However, it's allegedly easily noticeable that she is still very attached to the "Argo" actor. The source continued, " Most people in her world believe she'd jump at another chance with him, but there is no doubt it would end in disaster because they're just way too different."
According to the source, people close to them know that they are better off as friends. However, they also claim that Lopez hasn't fully accepted the fact that they cannot work as a couple. Meanwhile, Affleck is also focusing on himself rather than the dating game. A source said, "Ben says he's trying to better himself and part of that is being very intentional with who he's dating, which has meant a lot more time alone."

Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic challenger Troy Jackson debated for the first time Tuesday in Maine, trading attacks over President Donald Trump, the cost of living and abortion in one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country.
Maine is central to Democrats’ path to the Senate majority as they try to capitalize on Trump’s unpopularity. Jackson tried to do just that Tuesday by tying Collins to Trump, name-checking him at least 20 times in one hour of debating on WGME-TV.
“It matters who you stand with,” Jackson said in his opening statement. “I don’t owe Donald Trump and the billionaires anything. I don’t fight for billionaires like she does.”
Collins, meanwhile, emphasized multiple instances when she opposed the Trump administration.
She also sought to localize the race and pitch her seniority — and her perch as chair of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee — as a boost to Maine. She touted $1.5 billion in federal funds that she has brought home to the state for 672 projects in the last five years, “from Madawaksa to Kittery, from Eastport to Rumford.”

The US economy is stacking up wins, even if it doesn't feel that way for many households because of the resurgence in inflation.
The economy has now posted 78 consecutive months of expansion, the sixth-longest business cycle since 1854, per new ***** ysis from The Kobeissi Letter. This is well above the long-term average of 49 months and the median of 38 months.
By comparison, the longest period for the US economy without a recession was between 2009 and 2020, at 128 months. The record of course was broken by the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic, which ground the economy to a halt.

"Unconventional monetary policy, historically large budget deficits, alongside the AI investment boom, appear to be extending the duration of business cycles. The data says the US economy is remarkably strong," The Kobeissi Letter team said.
Meanwhile, the US economy is nearing an impressive achievement on the unemployment front.
The US unemployment rate is nearing a record number of consecutive months below 5%, Truist chief strategist Keith Lerner said in a note on Monday. The longtime record dates back to the mid-1960s.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's kids have a squad of nannies helping them around the clock. During a recent interview, the 45-year-old mom revealed that she has help at home. While she reportedly hired five nannies, one is always on duty. For those unversed, the socialite has four kids: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. She has primary custody of her children after her divorce from West.
Kim Kardashian has been raising her four kids with the help of five nannies. Recently, the reality TV star opened up about her personal life and daily routine in an interview with The Times. She talked about her children and how she's raising them. Kardashian admitted that she has a surprising amount of help.
She said that she has "one nanny on duty" and four nannies on rotation. With a whole help squad, Kardashian has been taking care of her four kids. Despite the nanny squad, she makes sure to be present in the children's lives as much as possible. Therefore, she is on school duty as the mom drops off and picks up the kids from school every day. She also has dinner with them daily and reads bedtime stories to them.
"I'm extremely patient and loving. I still have a kid sleep in my bed when they want. I read books with the kids every night," Kardashian said. Meanwhile, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7, have not reportedly shown much interest in the entertainment world. But the socialite addressed how her eldest daughter, North, 13, has already been making her way into the music and fashion industries.
"Each kid does what they're comfortable with. So, my little ones come around when I'm filming, but they don't really do storylines. North loves it a little bit more than the rest," Kardashian added.

Prince Harry has reportedly been keeping up a demanding schedule since returning to the UK, but a new claim suggests he is growing frustrated that Meghan Markle has not been matching his pace. While the Duke of Sussex has attended charity events and delivered speeches in Britain and the United States, Meghan has maintained a considerably quieter public profile. Now, an insider alleges the difference between their workloads has become a source of tension, claiming Harry wants his wife to pursue new opportunities rather than continue "having a jolly" with her celebrity friends.
MEGA
According to New Idea, Harry has barely stopped working since the Sussexes returned to Britain, dividing his time between charitable engagements, public appearances and trips abroad. Meghan, meanwhile, has reportedly been "taking a backseat" while helping Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet settle into their new routine.
"Harry wants Meghan to work," a royal insider claimed. The source alleged that Meghan's workload has become a "hot topic" between the couple that has not yet been resolved. Although Meghan continues to oversee her As Ever lifestyle brand, the report portrayed her daily schedule as considerably more relaxed than Harry's. It allegedly includes morning business calls, Pilates or yoga with friends, and collecting the children from school.

Prince William and Kate Middleton may be raising the future King of Britain. However, their children reportedly use far more ordinary names once they step into the classroom. Instead of relying on their royal ***** les, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis follow a long-standing royal tradition. The strategy helps keep their school life as normal as possible.
Officially, the public knows them as Prince George of Wales, Princess Charlotte of Wales, and Prince Louis of Wales. However, the royal siblings reportedly go by much simpler names during the school day.
According to Hola!, the children use the surname "Wales" at school, making them George Wales, Charlotte Wales, and Louis Wales. The reported practice allows them to blend in more naturally with classmates while leaving their royal ***** les outside the classroom.
The surname comes from their parents' ***** les as the Prince and Princess of Wales. Before King Charles III ascended the throne in 2022, the children reportedly used "Cambridge" as their school surname. They adopted the moniker because William and Kate were then the Duke and ***** ss of Cambridge.
George has recently entered a new chapter in his education after starting at Eton College, following in his father's footsteps. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Louis continue attending Lambrook School.

Wealthy baby boomers have spent decades building their fortunes—and the foundations, donor-advised funds, and giving traditions that come with them. But as the $124 trillion Great Wealth Transfer gets underway, a growing share of the older generation isn't so sure their kids will carry on tradition the way they hope.
Fewer than half of wealthy Americans (47%) believe the next generation is prepared to take on family philanthropic causes, down from 55% in 2024, according to research from Bank of America released last week. The share of parents who believe their children share their commitment to giving back fell even more sharply to 65% from 76%. The bank surveyed more than 1,430 wealthy individuals in the U.S. aged 21 or older with at least $3 million in investable ******* ets, excluding primary residence.
The confidence gap in philanthropy mirrors a broader anxiety wealth advisors have noticed about whether heirs are ready for any of it.
"This is a very real concern I'm hearing from ultra-affluent families right now," Tom Thiegs, managing director of leadership and legacy at Ascent Private Capital Management with U.S. Bank, told Fortune of parents' fears that wealth could dampen their children's drive. Trent Von Ahsen of Cedar Point Capital Partners also told Fortune his clients are leaning on mentorship and phased wealth transfers rather than lump-sum inheritances.
But the irony is younger donors are, by several of the study's measures, more engaged donors than older generations. Gen Z and millennial donors support an average of 12 charitable causes, compared with eight among wealth donors overall. They're also roughly twice as likely to use a donor-advised fund, and 87% say honoring their family's philanthropic tradition is important. Meanwhile, 86% say it's equally important to establish their own charitable identity.

Sarah Ferguson reportedly wants King Charles and senior royals to "throw her a bone" before she considers other options. The former **** ss of York was said to be delaying a tell-all while hoping for renewed royal acceptance.
A source claimed she still believed there was "a place for her within the royal family." However, the insider warned that continued exclusion could change her position. Her reported strategy mixed loyalty, leverage, and hopes for a royal comeback.
As per a Closer Online report, Sarah reportedly reconsidered her options. The source said Earl Spencer's memoir offered "a good reminder" of the disruption a royal tell-all could create. Moreover, the insider claimed Sarah's long history with the royals gave her considerable material. They said she could potentially do "a lot more damage to the King's legacy" than Spencer. Still, a spokesperson firmly denied a current memoir project. The representative said, "She is not writing a personal memoir."
However, the insider claimed Sarah Ferguson was keeping that possibility available while hoping for another route. The source said she was "holding off on a book deal for now." According to them, Sarah remained convinced "there's still a place for her within the royal family." She reportedly hoped loyalty would persuade King Charles and others to "cut her a break." That could mean "a path back towards respectability" or "at the very least a place to live." Meanwhile, the source said she still had "the tell-all up her sleeve" if that effort failed.
Additionally, the insider claimed Sarah was sending messages toward both Charles and Prince William. She was reportedly "imploring William and Charles to throw her a bone." The source added that she did not want to "go against the family if she can help it." Still, the report said Sarah could pursue other money-making opportunities if reconciliation failed. Those possibilities reportedly included reality television and rebuilding her social media profile. For now, Buckingham Palace had made no direct statement about Sarah. Meanwhile, senior royals had reportedly continued distancing themselves from the former York household.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's children reportedly use different names at school. According to a report, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are known as George Wales, Charlotte Wales, and Louis Wales among their school friends. The surname reflects their parents' ****** les as the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are known as 'Wales' at school, per report. According to ****** o!, Charlotte and Louis are in Year 7 and Year 4 at Lambrook Prep School in Berkshire. The school is reportedly close to the family's Windsor home, Forest Lodge. It seems that the royal siblings likely prefer to keep their school life low-key.
It was said that the surname is a nod to the Prince and Princess of Wales, the ****** les William and Kate received after Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022. Before that, when they were the Duke and ****** ss of Cambridge, their children reportedly used Cambridge at their previous schools. This seemingly followed what William and Prince Harry did, as the brothers used their father's former ****** le, Wales, when they were at school.
Meanwhile, George has seemingly started a new chapter at Eton. William and Kate reportedly accompanied him on his first day. The young Prince moved into one of the 25 boarding houses on the grounds.
Moreover, members of the royal family often don't use a surname. They are simply known by their ****** le, name, and His or Her Royal Highness. The royal family's website states that George V declared in 1917 that male-line descendants of Queen Victoria "shall bear the name of Windsor." The family reportedly continued to use it after Queen Elizabeth II's accession in 1952.

It was said that the surname is a nod to the Prince and Princess of Wales, the ****** les William and Kate received after Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022. Before that, when they were the Duke and ****** ss of Cambridge, their children reportedly used Cambridge at their previous schools. This seemingly followed what William and Prince Harry did, as the brothers used their father's former ****** le, Wales, when they were at school.
Meanwhile, George has seemingly started a new chapter at Eton. William and Kate reportedly accompanied him on his first day. The young Prince moved into one of the 25 boarding houses on the grounds.
Moreover, members of the royal family often don't use a surname. They are simply known by their ****** le, name, and His or Her Royal Highness. The royal family's website states that George V declared in 1917 that male-line descendants of Queen Victoria "shall bear the name of Windsor." The family reportedly continued to use it after Queen Elizabeth II's accession in 1952.

Ex-Prince Andrew is said to be in surprisingly high spirits, despite the turmoil surrounding him. A friend claims he is certain he will one day be exonerated and has taken on the police in a legal fight over the warrants used in his arrest. As a private court hearing approaches on Thursday, this legal fight is drawing fresh attention.
According to The Sun, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has applied for a judicial review to quash the search warrants that were issued in February. The High Court in London will consider the application in a private hearing soon.
Meanwhile, a friend has described his state of mind to the newspaper. "He seems incredibly buoyant despite everything he has been through and is really upbeat," the friend said. They went on to say: "He is utterly convinced that one day he will be completely exonerated. He thinks this is the first step towards that." The friend also described Andrew as living in relative seclusion on the King's Norfolk estate despite being estranged from other members of the royal family
The warrants stem from Andrew's February 19 arrest, which took place on his 66th birthday. Thames Valley Police arrested him on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations involving his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. Police later searched his cottage on the Sandringham estate and his former home, Royal Lodge in Windsor, and removed evidence.
Despite Andrew's optimism, legal experts, however, are less convinced about this latest challenge. Lawyers quoted by The Sun cast doubt on the case and believe a win may make little difference. Even if the warrants were found to be flawed, police might still keep the evidence. It is also not known whether he will attend Thursday's hearing.
