Looking to bring some perspective to all he's accomplished, Jalen Hurts channeled his inner Rocky in hopes of returning to Super Bowl glory. Following their beatdown of the Chiefs, Hurts reached the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps at the end of the Eagles' championship parade, but the demands surrounding that moment prevented him from completely absorbing it.
He returned during a quiet June morning to search for a feeling he missed the first time.
GQ's recent wide-ranging profile of the star quarterback opens with Hurts climbing the steps shortly after 5 a.m., with the crowds, speeches and championship celebration long gone. It was his first visit since the Eagles completed their Super Bowl parade there in February 2025. The decision offered rare insight into how Hurts processes success. His attention typically shifts toward the next challenge before he has allowed himself to appreciate the previous accomplishment.
That mentality has helped him survive disappointment and remain focused in a demanding market. It can also make the rewards of winning feel temporary.
Hurts led the Eagles past Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, earning game MVP honors and avenging Philadelphia's defeat two years earlier. The victory secured his place in franchise history, but the quarterback quickly returned to work. His early-morning visit was not about recreating the parade. It was an attempt to appreciate what the team and city had experienced together without the responsibilities that came with being at the center of it.

On paper, it looked like a big advantage that the Atlanta Braves got to play the makeup game for a June 18 rainout at the end of August. The San Francisco Giants would have to wait 10 weeks, fly across the country ahead of a six-game road trip, and trade away six veterans in the interim before facing a division-leading team on a seven-game win streak.
But waiting meant the Braves had to face a trio of rookies that weren't on the roster three weeks ago. Monday night, Sluggin' Jonah **** , Nate "The Great" Furman, and Turner "King Of The" Hill rained on the Braves parade with three runs, five fits, and four RBIs in a 7-3 win. Their sad fans were Tomahawk-chopping their umbrellas as they walk out of the stadium in despair.
This means that, perhaps unofficially, the Giants have finally swept a series in 2026. And it only took them until the last day of August! Their rainy visit to Hotlanta Wetlanta in June saw one game cancelled and another postponed after a two-hour rain delay, but the Giants won both halves of an improvised doubleheader on the one day with ded=cent weather. This means the Giants technically have swept a series this season, won a series on the road in the process and are currently on a three-series unbeaten streak.
Former Brave Anthony Molina (2-0), acquired in the deadline deal for Tyler Mahle, won his second game in seven days by giving up three runs in five innings in his first start of the season and the third of his career. He struck out five straight Braves between the 3rd and 4th innings and escaped the 5th after giving up four hits but only one run, and leaving with the game tied 3-3.
The Giants broke things open in the top of the 6th thanks to Osleivis Basabe and a trio of rookies. Basabe led off the inning with his 4th home run of the season, bouncing it off the top of the center field wall just above the Papa John's sign, which should probably earn him some free terrible pizza, right?

The Sporting Tribune Today debuted on SportsGrid on Monday, and the biggest story in Los Angeles walked right into it. Mykell Mathieu reported live from Rams practice, where he asked Donald directly. Grant Mona and John Browner handled the other question: where does a team find $20 million on the last day of August?
The Sporting Tribune Today premiered on SportsGrid on Monday morning, and Aaron Donald picked the same day to make his return official — one year, $20 million, back on an NFL field for the first time since 2023.
"That's the sound of a parade," John Browner said. In August.
The most useful twenty minutes of the debut came from Woodland Hills. Rams reporter Mykell Mathieu joined the show live from practice, where he had put the question to Donald himself: why now?
The answer, as Mathieu relayed it, was not about money or legacy. It was about the room. Donald pointed to Myles Garrett and to a defense he described as full of dogs — a group he wanted to be part of badly enough to end a two-year retirement for it.

HENDERSON, Nev. — According to Little League Baseball, there are more than two million boys and girls from 80 countries playing Little League.
The odds of making it to the championship game of the Little League World Series is approximately 1 percent.
So here's to the 1 percenters, the Paseo Verde Little League of Henderson, Nevada, which defied the odds and made it to the final game of the season in South Williamsport, Pa. Sunday afternoon.
That Paseo Verde was defeated 11-2 by Curaçao shouldn't diminish the accomplishments of the boys and girl that started this improbable journey almost a month ago when it won its District tournament. It would win the Nevada state tourney, then go on and win the Mountain Regional, which is why you saw them in those gold and red uniforms with the lower case "M' on their caps at Lamade Stadium.
And this team was undefeated throughout and even had a 2-0 lead over Curaçao, an island nation of just over 185,000 that loves its baseball. You can see it in the exuberance displayed by its Little Leaguers on the field. They love to play the game as much as our kids from Henderson.
And if you were watching, how could you not marvel at the skill of these teams? So well schooled in fundamentals. So impressive in their mechanics and their IQ of the game. It's nice that elements like laying down a bunt, hitting a cutoff person and understanding the strike zone is not beyond the grasp of an 11- or 12-year-old. Paseo Verde turned six double plays in the LLWS.
Of course, it takes a village, as they say, to pull something like this off. In Little League, everyone is a volunteer. If you've had a kid play, you know the drill. Dads help prepare the fields before coaching. Moms man the snack shack and sit behind home plate keeping score. Grandparents, aunts and uncles keep an eye on the younger brothers and sisters. It's all about the kids, which is as it should be.
Every year, we read stories in the paper or watch a segment on local television of how the parents of the teams in Williamsport have been away from home for weeks, how they've had to take time off from work, how someone has to keep an eye on the house, arrange to get the mail, take care of the family pet. And it's the truth. There's a great deal of sacrifice involved to be part of a kid's summer baseball experience.
Same for the managers and coaches. They have families too and for them, it's no different than their players. Which is why when it ends, it's pretty painful emotionally speaking because you've invested so much in order to try and take it the distance.
But we know kids are resilient. As they return home to Southern Nevada, they'll do so as celebrities, be it at their school, their church or their neighborhood. There's probably going to be a parade for the Paseo Verde team, the United States Little League champions, and it figures to be a fun time. They'll carry memories of this amazing experience that will last a lifetime and 10, 20,

Believe it or not, Soleil Moon Frye turned 50 on August 6, 2026. As one of the '80s stars who grew up to be gorgeous, Frye became a familiar face thanks to her role as Punky in "Punky Brewster," which aired from 1984 to 1988. "Punky is still such a huge part of my heart and soul," Frye told People in March 2021. "If I'm 88 and people still want to call me Punky, I'd be thrilled."
Although playing Punky may be the thing for which Frye is best known, over the years, she's appeared in other series, including "Saved by the Bell" and "Friends. She's also gotten married and had four kids (to no surprise, Soleil Moon Frye's daughters look so much like their famous mom). Frye has also had quite the style evolution since her days as Punky Brewster and being a teen star in the 1990s. "I immediately think of the scary clothes that I wore," Frye told Parade in August 2011 about her memories of that era. "Catsuits were big for me in the '90s, and I had many of them... I remember wearing a skintight bright cherry-red dress to my Sweet 16 party, and none of my friends told me I looked out of sight!"
With catsuits in the rearview mirror, Frye has had more than a few fabulous fashion occasions. From never surrendering her Doc Marten boots to the best way to style a chic blazer, Frye has slayed so many looks. In other words, her 40s were full of memorable style moments.

Diana, Princess of Wales, is known for many things, from her philanthropy and very public marriage to and split from the now King Charles III to her motherhood with William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and tragic death nearly 30 years ago, on Aug. 31, 1997. In addition to her many accomplishments, life events and milestones, though, Princess Diana is also forever known for her sense of fashion that garnered considerable attention throughout her life and has continued to make her a fashion icon today.
Even among Diana fans and royal watchers, many of her most famous looks have only been seen on TV, on the covers of magazines or in old photographs, but now, a brand-new exhibit coming to the United States this year will allow guests to get an up-close look in person at some of the late princess's most celebrated items. The exhibit, ***** led "Princess Diana: Love Life Legacy — A Life of Giving," will open at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation's Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Nov. 7 and will feature more than 700 artifacts from Princess Diana's life.
Among the items to be on display are Princess Diana's beloved "black sheep" sweater, the long black gown she wore when dancing with John Travolta, her wedding slippers and her "final goodbye" dress—the final gown she tried on before her death, revealed to the public for the first time—among many others.
In addition to these items of clothing, this exhibit will feature various handbags, shoes, jewelry, historical documents, handwritten letters, myriad personal possessions and more. Certain artifacts will be exclusive to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, but the "Princess Diana: Love Life Legacy — A Life of Giving" exhibit will go on tour elsewhere after departing The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on May 31, 2027. Tickets for the exhibit can be purchased on the Ronald Reagan Foundation website and are available now.

One of the most talked about literary releases of the week, nay the year, is "Life of M", the new novel by critically acclaimed and award-winning British author Rachel Cusk.
Known for her novels "The Lucky Ones", the Outline Trilogy ("Outline", "Transit" and "Kudos"), "Second Place", as well as the Goldsmiths Prize-winning book "Parade", Cusk's name isn't one you'd expect to be ******* ociated with headline-grabbing controversy or gossip.
Still, here we are and all anyone can talk about is the buzz around "Life of M" - specifically: Is the ******* ular M a fictionalised version of Natalie Portman?
The novel, billed by its publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, as a "blazing interrogation of fame, power, beauty and truth", has got literary sleuths wondering whether it's a not-so-thinly-veiled and unflattering portrait of the Oscar-winning actress.
"Life of M" follows an unnamed writer who wishes to use a famous actress, M, as a source of inspiration for her next literary project. The writer chronicles the A-lister's life and portrays "one of the most recognisable faces of our time" as a dispassionate and self-righteous person who puts on a relatable facade to mask the poseur within.

The Colorado Rockies came into this game having just ended their longest losing streak of the season by narrowly beating the Washington Nationals 3-1 on Tuesday. A magnificent start from Tanner Gordon combined with a home run parade from the Rockies lineup made for a remarkable tone shift compared to just two days ago with the Rockies winning 13-1.
After rejoining the rotation just last week, Gordon had his best outing of the season.
When the game began, it did not seem like Gordon would last nearly as long as he did as Washington hitters came out of the gate with hard contact. In the first, Dylan Crews notched a triple into deep right field where he was stranded thanks to a groundout by Daylen Lile.
In the second, though, the Nationals got on the board with a leadoff home run from Andres Chaparro.

Police and firefighters escorted a parade of Jeeps carrying the team, as more than 100 people waiting at Legion Field cheered on the New England Regional champions.

"It's awesome," said player JJ Gaff. "All the people here, it's awesome they're all supporting you, the whole way through."
The boys felt the love from back home as they played. Neighbors and friends threw watch parties, glued to their screens.

In the summer of 1993, Manchester United won the ******* le and then signed Roy Keane in a British record transfer. In 2001, United won the ******* le and then bought Ruud van Nistelrooy. In 2008, the summer after winning the Premier League and Champions League, they signed Dimitar Berbatov not because they really needed him but because they could.
Each time, Alex Ferguson took steps not just to maintain the gap to their rivals but to grow it. Each time, United defended their Premier League crown.
Even before kick-off here at the Emirates Stadium, there was that familiar sense of a ******* le-winning manager ******* down the lid on the Premier League trophy they owned. Mikel Arteta's newest signing, Ezri Konsa, was paraded on the pitch to a standing ovation – quite the flex to sign the second best right-sided centre-half in the Premier League while the best, William Saliba, is sidelined with injury.
And after a few minutes of this opening 3-0 win over Coventry City, it was clear that Arteta had strengthened his attack too. Christos Tzolis impressed in pre-season games and topped most of ******* nal's fitness metrics. Here he buzzed into action on the left wing, legs whirring with the urgency of a man fleeing a swarm of bees, all fast-twitch jolts and excitable energy, exactly the sort of opponent Coventry's right-back Milan van Ewijk didn't want to face on his first Friday night live on Sky Sports.
Arsenal had a plethora of attacking options on the field: Kai Havertz led the line, Bukayo Saka started on the right and Martin Odegaard flitted in and out of the right half-space. But for all the passing lanes on offer, the gameplan became a simple one: when in the final third, seek Tzolis.

Each time, Alex Ferguson took steps not just to maintain the gap to their rivals but to grow it. Each time, United defended their Premier League crown.
Even before kick-off here at the Emirates Stadium, there was that familiar sense of a ******* le-winning manager ******* down the lid on the Premier League trophy they owned. Mikel Arteta's newest signing, Ezri Konsa, was paraded on the pitch to a standing ovation – quite the flex to sign the second best right-sided centre-half in the Premier League while the best, William Saliba, is sidelined with injury.
And after a few minutes of this opening 3-0 win over Coventry City, it was clear that Arteta had strengthened his attack too. Christos Tzolis impressed in pre-season games and topped most of ******* nal's fitness metrics. Here he buzzed into action on the left wing, legs whirring with the urgency of a man fleeing a swarm of bees, all fast-twitch jolts and excitable energy, exactly the sort of opponent Coventry's right-back Milan van Ewijk didn't want to face on his first Friday night live on Sky Sports.

For decades, Natalie Portman has been one of our most cerebral stars. A 1999 Vanity Fair cover, promoting "The Phantom Menace," asked whether the then-17-year-old might "choose Harvard over Hollywood." She managed to do both, earning an Ivy League degree and an Oscar. Her characters in movies from "Jackie" to "May December" are often overthinkers, and her Instagram book club picks tend toward high literature.
Who better, then, to serve as the heroine of a Rachel Cusk novel?
Cusk, the experimental novelist, is set to publish "Life of M," about an unnamed actress coping with feelings of alienation and depersonalization, on Aug. 25. Cusk's work, like the well-loved "Outline" trilogy, favors deep excavation of inner turmoil over what might be called "plot," and "Life of M" is no exception. Still, the obvious similarities to the known facts of Portman's life have earned the book plenty of buzz.
To wit: M, a former child star who received her greatest acclaim for playing a ballerina, is raising children, seemingly solo, in Paris. All of this checks out, and Portman's putative connection to Cusk — she selected Cusk's last novel, 2024's "Parade," for Natalie's Book Club, and both actress and author live in Paris — lends the enterprise a juicy overlay of gossip.
There's no public information indicating Portman's involvement in the project, or whether she approved it at all. (Portman's rep and the book's publicist at Farrar, Straus and Giroux did not respond to requests for comment.) And if people are reading "Life of M" as a document of truth, it may be in part because the novel so confidently places its reader within restricted access zones. We see M through the eyes of a narrator, an unnamed person who has obtained M's permission to document her life. And so we accompany M to a spa, where she and a younger actress chitchat about their peers and discuss Hollywood's gender pay gap, and to an interview at a chic restaurant, where she observes strangers snapping her picture. The access Cusk grants extends deep into M's mind as well: With her friend, M ponders how she might help a new generation of actresses despite her own "ennui" about the industry; with the journalist interviewing her, M is burdened "by the impossibility of anyone ever understanding what she is."
The project of this book is to help us to know a person who rejects examination, just as journalists have struggled to crack Portman, who avoids discussing her personal life in interviews. "Life of M" is not the sort of novel that one can "spoil," but suffice it to say that M ultimately makes her displeasure at the narrator's project plain: Being under a writer's gaze is, for her, intolerable. M comes by this aversion to fame honestly. We're informed that "starring in a film as a child had immediately brought her childhood to an end," and that press coverage of her entanglements as an adult have strained her relationship with her family. She has constructed a series of walls, and w

OG Anunoby is a Knicks legend. Etched forever in franchise lore and the hearts of fans. In the critical Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the 29-point comeback against the Spurs that was the stuff of legend and set the course of the Finals, Anunoby scored 33 points, including the game-winning tip-in. NBC Sports spoke to Anunoby this week.
Editor's note: OG Anunoby discussed several topics, including his contributions to ending the New York Knicks' 53-year ***** le drought, in an interview through his partnership with Royal Canin and VCA Animal Hospitals. Anunoby, a cat lover, has worked with the organizations to raise awareness for rescue cats available for adoption, and to donate to shelters across the country. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
NBCSports.com: We saw the celebration in the streets of New York, which I think might still be going on, and we also saw the celebration with the champagne spraying in the locker room. We kind of saw you accidentally go live [on Instagram in that moment]. Were you surprised when you went live, like how viral that went? And more importantly, did your phone survive all the champagne spray?
Anunoby: Yeah, my phone ended up being all good. Was I surprised that it went viral? Kind of. I mean, there's a lot of people in it in like a short time in the live. Yeah, I don't go live like ever, I'm not good at that. But now I talked to some people, taught me how to go live. So next time it won't go like that.
NBCSports.com: Obviously, it was a wild summer with the parade and everything in New York, but you guys were able to get together for Karl-Anthony Towns' wedding. How was the second biggest wedding of the year, and how was it being able to get together with your teammates, kind of more out of that spotlight?

Washington DC has hosted presidential inaugurations, World Series parades and Fourth of July celebrations. Now, IndyCar is coming to the streets of the nation's capital.
The inaugural Freedom 250 Grand Prix will bring open-wheel racing to a temporary 1.66-mile street race winding through downtown D.C. The seven-turn course will guide drivers past some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument and several Smithsonian museums.
The race weekend, scheduled for Aug. 22-23, will feature practice, qualifying and the main race, giving fans a chance to see IndyCar drivers navigate a course unlike any other on the series calendar.
The race has already made its presence felt across downtown DC, with road closures and construction weeks underway as crews transform city streets into a temporary racing circuit. Barriers, fencing and other track infrastructure have been installed along the route ahead of race weekend.
For drivers, the circuit will offer little room for error, with tight turns and narrow sections replacing the traffic that normally moves through these streets. For residents and visitors, the race has meant detours and closures across parts of downtown as the District prepares to host its first IndyCar event.

Candace Parker didn't pick up a basketball with aspirations of on day joining the hall of fame.
The Lady Vols legend's career started at a park near her home in Naperville, Illinois, where she spent hours playing with her two older brothers, who were her heroes.
Parker fell in love with the game, which took her all over the world. But when she looks back on her career, the places that stick out in her mind aren't the flashy arenas or the championship parades routes. It's that park or the fitness center in Naperville where she first dunked, and Stokely Athletic Center, where she got in extra work before Tennessee's new practice facility was opened her senior year.
Parker may not have dreamed of being a first-ballot hall of famer, but she looked up in the rafters every day with the Lady Vols, determined to hang more banners and the rest would take care of itself.
It arrived for Parker with her second hall of fame induction in less than three months. Parker was enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Aug. 15 at Symphony Hall in in Springfield, Massachusetts. She was inducted to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in June, entering both in her first year of eligibility.

College football is in the air, and we can taste it because of the parade of preseason college football awards watch lists that have been heaped upon us as of late. A program like Ohio State is always represented on these things, and that has certainly been the case this year.
The Buckeyes have had some great centers over the years and again have a good one in Carson Hinzman. The Wisconsin native started during his redshirt freshman season, moved to guard until asked to take over for the injured Seth McGlaughlin during the College Football Playoff run in 2024, and then was the unquestioned starter over the ball all of last season. He is expected to be one of the best centers during the 2026 campaign as well, and because of that, he was listed among the rest of the players appearing on the Rimington Trophy preseason watch list.
The Rimington has been around since the year 2000 and is handed out annually by the Rimington Trophy committee to the player considered to be the best center in college football. Ohio State has already seen four of its players take the award home during its rather short history, with the aforementioned McGlaughlin taking it home in 2024. Before that, LeCharles Bentley (2001), Pat Elflein (2016), and Billy Price (2017) were also honored. No other program has had more Rimington winners than the Buckeyes.
The winner of the Rimington Trophy will be announced along with a whole host of other college football awards during ESPN's Home Depot College Football Awards Show on December 11.

Are you over the World Cup yet?
If you're not English, have you stopped laughing now?
In my last article for this website, thinking about our champions' parade, I wondered what the country might look like if England could, you know, win the World Cup.
Of course, we never got to find out, as Thomas Tuchel and his players undertook a collective soiling of the sheets in their semi-final against Argentina, the nature of which must have made even Gareth Southgate shudder.

Different venue, different result. Astros 6. Giants 3. It took extra innings, it took perseverance, and it took Jeremy Pena breaking out of a 0-24 slump. It also took a three-hit night from Cam Smith. The change of scenery from Petco to Oracle made all the difference as the offense finally showed some signs of life in front of 28,070.
For the first time in ten games, Houston would score in the opening frame to start things. Yordan Alvarez recorded his 60th extra base hit, hitting a double before Isaac Paredes moved him over to third with a single. Jose Altuve would bring in Alvarez on a sac fly making it 1-0. The next run would come off the bat of Cam Smith who would leave the yard, jacking his 16th of the year in the 7th. In the top of the 9th, Cam would weave some more magic, singling to right field which brought in pinch runner Nick Allen. Cam would go 3-4 on the night, driving in a pair.
Hayden Wesneski would cruise until the bottom of the fourth. Bryce Eldridge reached on a double. Rafael Devers followed that up with a walk and Oslevivis Basabe would single to load the bases. Drew Gilbert would notch his 23rd RBI of the season on a sac fly, tying things up at 1-1. Taylor Trammell would then make the defensive play of the night, making a spectacular play on a line out from Drew Cavanaugh to close out the inning. The Giants would strand a pair of runners.
However, the next pair of innings, the Giants would take Wesenski deep on multiple occasions. Jung Hoo Lee would hit his 9th homer of the year. That would be followed up by former Astros prospect, Drew Gilbert, who in the seventh went yard. Houston had plenty of opportunities during that window, including a bases loaded opportunity, but Christian Walker grounded out, stranding three. Even with the home runs, for all intents and purposes, Wesenski rendered a decent showing. His seven innings of work was the deepest a starter has gone in a game for Houston since Hunter Brown verses the White Sox on July 25th.
In the 10th inning, LaMonte Wade walked and went to second on a Pena single. They would each score on a clutch double from Isaac Parades. The bottom of 10th was arguably the best move Joe Espada has made this baseball season, sending out Josh Hader for a second inning of relief after previously vowing not to implement. Hader would dazzle, pitching a pair of scoreless innings, registering a pair of K's.

Baseball feels more organic when Nancy Faust is in a booth with an organ. Her presence in the ballpark this afternoon, which precluded the usual barrage of pop songs, crowd-stimulating noises, and things that my dad would refer to as "canned bullshit," set the tone for what turned out to be an improbably fun day at the ballpark as the White Sox staked themselves a season-high four-game lead in the AL Central with a 5-2 win over the Guardians.
This is a Sox team that has made its hay with youthful energy. But even without the thumping bass that typically blasts from Rate Field's PA system, the action on the field and the feeling in the stands was as vibrant as ever. When it appeared that Cleveland would put a damper on the 30,000 strong crowd's supportive push with three straight hits and two runs against Davis Martin to open the game, the Sox responded with three consecutive hits of their own to start their part of the action.
The Sox only managed to get one run out of their hit parade, though. For a moment, when Guardians starter Joey Cantillo punched out three consecutive hitters to escape the early jam, it seemed as if the building momentum had been stifled.
Then the tarps came out.
One two-hour rain delay later, it felt like it didn't matter. When Tim Herrin took the ball for Cleveland in relief of Cantillo, it was a whole new ballgame. Herrin did his job, but his successor Craig Yoho couldn't. For the second straight day, the Guardians had grabbed themselves a 2-0 lead before falling victim to a big crooked number from the South Siders. After taking an inning to warm up, Miguel Vargas, Randal Grichuk and Braden Montgomery all reached base in succession with two outs before the other Montgomery broke things open with one swing of the bat.

When it appeared that Cleveland would put a damper on the 30,000 strong crowd's supportive push with three straight hits and two runs against Davis Martin to open the game, the Sox responded with three consecutive hits of their own to start their part of the action.
The Sox only managed to get one run out of their hit parade, though. For a moment, when Guardians starter Joey Cantillo punched out three consecutive hitters to escape the early jam, it seemed as if the building momentum had been stifled.
Then the tarps came out.
One two-hour rain delay later, it felt like it didn't matter. When Tim Herrin took the ball for Cleveland in relief of Cantillo, it was a whole new ballgame. Herrin did his job, but his successor Craig Yoho couldn't. For the second straight day, the Guardians had grabbed themselves a 2-0 lead before falling victim to a big crooked number from the South Siders. After taking an inning to warm up, Miguel Vargas, Randal Grichuk and Braden Montgomery all reached base in succession with two outs before the other Montgomery broke things open with one swing of the bat.

Royal resemblances within King Charles's family are often noted, particularly between parents and their children in photographs from the archive.
The similarities between Princess Charlotte and her father, the Prince of Wales, and her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, are often picked up in their childhood photographs.
And in a post shared by the Royal Collection Trust to mark King Charles's birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, royal watchers couldn't help but notice the similarities between the image of two-year-old Prince Charles, and his youngest son, Prince Harry.
The photograph shows Charles riding in a carriage with his late grandmother, the Queen Mother, and his aunt, the late Princess Margaret, at Trooping the Colour in 1951. His mother, Elizabeth II, had taken the salute on behalf of King George VI who was unwell.
The young prince can be seen seated between his grandmother and his aunt, wearing a double-breasted collared coat with a tartan blanket on his lap.

PHOENIX — The season was supposed to be over, right?
The World Series champion was crowned in August.
All that remained for the Los Angeles Dodgers was planning that World Series parade route.
Well, it has been a week since the Dodgers acquired two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.
And they have yet to win a game.

Jeff Bezos filed to sell about 15 million Amazon shares worth roughly $4.1 billion, but the timing is almost comically bad. The filing landed a day after the stock hit an all-time high and pushed Amazon's market value above $3 trillion, according to CNBC. Amazon shares fell more than 2% Tuesday right after the filing went public.
Lest you think he's raining on Amazon's parade, though, this wasn't some spur-of-the-moment cash grab. The sale was set up months ago under a prearranged trading plan Bezos adopted back in November 2025, the kind of scheduled arrangement executives use specifically so they don't look like they're trying to time the market.
The record high itself came on the back of a genuinely strong quarter, with faster-than-expected growth in Amazon's cloud business convincing investors that its AI bets are finally paying off. The stock is up about 20% this year, easily outpacing the S&P 500's 12% gain.
Even though he stepped down as CEO in 2021, Bezos is still one of Amazon's biggest shareholders. He sold $4.8 billion worth of shares in a similar filing last year, and he donated 220,200 shares to nonprofits back in May.

Newcastle United chief executive David Hopkinson has insisted the club's dramatic summer represents the beginning of a new era rather than the end of the Magpies' ambitions.
Speaking to The Athletic following Eddie Howe's departure and Matthias Jaissle's appointment, along with a flurry of important changes to the squad, Hopkinson unveiled what he called "Newcastle United 2.0" and argued the club is building for sustained success despite losing several of its biggest names.
"We're going forwards, in a way that is built to last," Hopkinson said. "We are pivoting in line with our reality, but we will surge forward from here and get into a position where we can win consistently. This Newcastle 2.0 team will be young, hungry, ambitious, relentless. They want to be here and they will fight for everything. This is exciting. This is transformational. This is intentional. Let's go."
Hopkinson also admitted the club's previous approach could not continue indefinitely.
"There's no Newcastle 2.0 without Newcastle 1.0," Hopkinson said. "It ignited this community and allowed us to dream. It brought us spectacular nights here, it brought us a trophy and a parade. It was a great chapter, but we were living beyond our means. And, at some point, you've got to pay the credit card bill."
