Bob Dylan has visited Pope Leo XIV in Rome.
The American singer-songwriter and poet visited with the pontiff at the Vatican during a break between concert dates in Italy.
A Vatican spokesperson shared that the encounter was a brief one, with Pope Leo giving Dylan a rosary, and Dylan presenting the pope with a copy of his autobiography, Chronicles: Volume One.
The Pope had previously quoted a1963 unpublished protest song of Dylan's in his own 2026 book, Disarmed and Disarming: Peace Is a Gift.
"I hate you cause yer man-made and man-owned, an' man-handled," he echoed about the recourse to nuclear weapons.
Dylan, who won the ****** el Prize for Literature in 2016, played for Pope John Paul II in 1997 during a concert at a religious congress in Bologna, Italy.

Vin Diesel wanted Judi Dench for The Chronicles of Riddick, so he sent flowers ahead of his visit to her London theater. In Dench's telling, the bouquet made it as far as the stage door. Staff couldn't carry it up the stairs to her dressing room.
Dench was appearing opposite Maggie Smith in David Hare's two-person play The Breath of Life at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Diesel had flown to London to see them perform. The role he had in mind for Dench was Aereon, an ambassador who can glide through the air, in his 2004 sequel to Pitch Black.
She agreed to do the film without reading the script. In an interview published by The Spokesman-Review when the movie came out, Dench said she was still getting over the fact that he'd come all that way to ask her.
Now 91, Dench revisits the offer in Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It?, published in the U.S. on November 3 by St. Martin's Press. The book grew out of conversations with her friend Brendan O'Hea, who gives her a hard time about how readily she said yes.

Andrew Garfield originally intended to play Mark Zuckerberg in 2010's The Social Network before Jesse Eisenberg took on the role, while Garfield instead played Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin
Garfield is reflecting on the experience now that he is playing another majorly impactful tech CEO in Artificial as OpenAI's Sam Altman
Artificial, Garfield's new movie about the company behind ChatGPT, is in theaters Dec. 25
Andrew Garfield's role as Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network is still on the actor's mind as he steps into a new movie about a tech company with tremendous power.
Garfield, 43, spoke with GQ in an interview published Wednesday, Nov. 4, regarding his new movie Artificial, in which he portrays OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman. The role had him reflecting on when he starred in 2010's The Social Network after losing out on the role of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to Jesse Eisenberg.

Ford has now announced the cars, the colors, the concert, the cable channel and the charity fund for its Veterans Day Classic at Daytona. What it hasn't announced, at least in the material it has published so far, is how long the race runs or how a winner gets picked. That gap is the story, and it's why the lineup tells you more than the poster does.
The event is set for Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Daytona International Speedway, three days after the Cup Series finale at Homestead (here's how that November calendar stacks up). Ford is running it in collaboration with NASCAR, Blue Star Families, IMSA and HSR, according to Ford's own announcement. Twelve Ford Racing drivers will split into six teams, one for each branch of the U.S. military, all in Mustang Dark Horse R race cars.
Think about what that means. In a normal NASCAR weekend, Ford's pitch to its fans is simple: beat Chevrolet and Toyota. Here there is **** ody to beat. Every driver, every car and every logo on the grid is Ford, so the manufacturer has to build the stakes from scratch. Its answer is the military branch as team identity, and Ford says the teams are racing for bragging rights.
That is a smart device and a fragile one. A one-make race can't borrow rivalry from the paddock. It has to earn it in two hours of television, which is why the details Ford hasn't filled in matter more than usual.
Ford's lineup pairs the drivers like this: Army gets Joey Hand and Brad Keselowski, the Marine Corps gets Ryan Blaney and Ben Hobson, the Navy gets Logan Sargeant and Ryan Preece, the Air Force gets Frankie Muniz and Austin Cindric, the **** e Force gets Noah Gragson and Layne Riggs, and the Coast Guard gets Joey Logano and Ty Majeski.

It was, for a while, considered one of those colorful quirks that crop up in the course of an election: the fact that not one but two candidates named Dan Sullivan will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot for U.S. senator from Alaska.
One Dan Sullivan — Dan S. Sullivan — is the state's incumbent Republican senator. He is trying to fend off a fierce challenge from former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola and secure a third term. The other Dan Sullivan — Dan J. Sullivan — is a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle. He has never previously campaigned for public office, and he switched his registration from "unaffiliated" to "Republican" just before the deadline to run. (He has since switched back to unaffiliated.)
But now the situation seems to be getting more serious. At President Trump's direction, the Justice Department last week sued in federal court to block certification of the election if Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses, alleging that retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan is a Democratic plant whose purpose is to siphon away votes.
Then, on Wednesday, the New York Times published an extensive investigation that appears to substantiate that allegation, calling it "Democrats' secret effort to stack Alaska's ballot."
"The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola's team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader," the paper wrote. "The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult the Democrat to victory."

AA Milne's first Pooh book was published a century ago in October 1926. Generations of children loved it, but its inspiration, the author's own son, told the BBC that he took to "running away when people bring up the subject".
"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred." This is the plaintive cry made by Christopher Robin to his teddy bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, in the final chapter of The House in Pooh Corner.
British novelist and playwright AA Milne needn't have worried. The first Winnie-the-Book was published 100 years ago in October 1926, and introduced a cast of characters modelled on the author's son and the soft toys he played with: lovably dim Pooh Bear, nervy Piglet, hyperactive Tigger, pessimistic Eeyore. Far from being forgotten, in the century since then the characters have taken on a life far beyond the parameters of their idyllic home, the Hundred Acre Wood.
BBC Radio 4, Desert Island Discs: Christopher Milne, 13/11/1976
From 1966, they became the subject of animated and live-action Disney films, in what is now one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Pooh Bear has even courted controversy in Poland for being "inappropriate", sparked memes mocking the Chinese president Xi Jinping, and prompted tongue-in-cheek pop-culture theories in which the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood have been "diagnosed" with different psychological conditions.

Walmart is reworking an iconic piece of pop culture history to bolster its holiday marketing and a "Who Knew?" brand platform starring Walton Goggins. The goal is to offer a unified marketing push with multigenerational appeal throughout the crucial gift-giving season.
The retailer in the past ran separate campaigns around different legs of the holiday season, such as the ramp-up to Black Friday, but has leveraged "Who Knew?" to streamline its storytelling. "Who Knew?," which launched last year, was developed to dispel misperceptions about the brand and position it as more style- and trend-forward as Walmart wins over higher-income shoppers.
"The holidays are an incredibly cluttered period of time from an advertising standpoint, and so the ability to break through is really important," Walmart CMO William White said in an interview. "Having one [theme], one campaign throughout the season allows a really quick read for customers to know it's Walmart."

One ESPN ****** yst claims to have some insight on the biggest story surrounding the Detroit Red Wings.
In an episode of the Frankly Hockey podcast featuring NHL ****** ysts John Buccigross and Frank Seravalli published on Friday, Oct. 16, Buccigross said he had information that indicated the Red Wings will soon be making a blockbuster deal.
"I think there's going to be a trade within seven to 10 days in Detroit," he said.
Seravalli then asked Buccigross to confirm that he was talking about disgruntled star Dylan Larkin, to which Buccigross said yes, "that's coming."
Larkin's trade request became public knowledge on June 4, with the native Michigander having played a big role on the Red Wings since his rookie season in 2015-16. About a month after the news broke, the Red Wings parted ways with longtime general manager Steve Yzerman and named Shawn Horcoff the interim GM on Sept. 15.

The line outside St. Patrick's Cathedral, where Daddy lay in state, was a mile long. One hundred thousand mourners passed by his coffin. Family and friends took turns holding vigil. The first time I witnessed that public outpouring of grief was when I accompanied Mum, along with my siblings, to a special service the night before the funeral. Mum's face, swathed in a black veil, was composed, almost serene, as we knelt to pray. The singer Andy Williams, a close friend of Mum and Daddy, sang "Ave Maria" a cappella, his resonant tenor echoing through the cathedral. I was thinking that Mary and all her angels were in the very room with us. Mum, Grandma Rose, and our aunts told us that Daddy was in Heaven and happy to be with Uncle Jack, his eldest brother, Joe, and his sister Kick. I could picture that lovely reunion. I was eight years old, and as a child had such a strong sense of Heaven as a physical place that when I flew in an airplane I chose the window seat so I could try to find Heaven in the clouds. Mum also believed Heaven was real, and she felt the full presence of God when she prayed. Her faith kept her going. It lifted us all through those awful days.

Meghan Markle turned heads in London when she met up with ***** el Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai. But it was the jaw-dropping price tag that got everyone talking.
Meghan, 45, was photographed embracing Malala, 29, outside London's luxury hotel Claridge's on Wednesday, October 7, before the pair went their separate ways.
In photos published by the Daily Mail, the ***** ss of Sussex wore $2,247 white satin Masina trousers by Ralph Lauren, an $832 pale beige cashmere sweater by Los Angeles-based label CO and a light brown $2,240 Tove Studio coat. Her black Chanel purse was valued at more than $9,000, while her Saint Laurent ivory-and-tan "Chris" flats retailed for $1,050.
That brings the estimated value of her clothing and bag to over $15,000. She finished the look with a Logan Hollowell Lovers Duet Diamond and Emerald Chain necklace, valued at an estimated $21,415. Altogether, the ensemble reportedly came to roughly $37,000.
The figure didn't sit well with some online commenters.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday flatly refused to comment on a new report alleging that U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle engaged in improper and possibly illegal conduct before taking up her post.
Rubio told reporters that he would not discuss the allegations contained in a Wall Street Journal story that said Guilfoyle had asked a donor and supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump to pay a $100,000 credit card bill just before her confirmation hearing, promising him access to administration officials if he did.
He spoke before leaving Greece, where he delivered a speech calling for European countries to return to what he described as their civilizational roots.
Rubio said he was aware of The Wall Street Journal's report, which was published late Wednesday, but had no idea if it was true and he would not address it.
"You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something and you reported it, it's the gospel. It's not the gospel. It's not the gospel for me. That's not the way we do things," he said at the foot of his plane as Guilfoyle, who was there to see him depart Greece, looked on.

We now have a better idea of exactly who the biggest creators are on social media. ESHAP and What's Trending have partnered to unveil the second annual Creator Map, a guide to the biggest creators by platform. And TheWrap has your first look at their findings.
The Creator Map will be unveiled later today at the first Jupiter Festival Miami, which is sponsored by YouTube. Evan Shapiro, media cartographer and ESHAP founder and CEO; Shira Lazar, What's Trending founder and CEO; and Jon Goss, CEO of the Lighthouse will unveil the project on the main stage of the event.
Described as the "definitive visual guide to the creator ecosphere," the Creator Map offers a data-informed view of the creator economy, an industry that can often feel confusing and chaotic from an outsider perspective. For the first time, the top 200 creators across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok will have both their follower counts and Affinity Quotient scores published on the map. Sponsored by Whalar Group and with data powered by Whalar's creator operating system Foam, the Affinity Quotient measures the depth of audience engagement and places a greater emphasis on active signals such as shares and saves than on passive interactions. That's an important insight as engagement rather than follower count has become the top metric in the creator economy. The Creator Affinity 100 list was first presented at this this year's IBC and identified 100 creators generating the greatest affinity among their audiences.
The map also identifies top creators across Snap, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Twitch, Pinterest and Rumble, along with the top Substack publishers and podcasters. Additionally, it identifies some of the top agencies, studios, technology tools, payment platforms and other companies powering the creator ecosystem. Check it out below:

Joe Manganiello says Sofía Vergara refused to hug him when he pleaded for affection during his long health battle. According to PEOPLE's Oct. 7 report, he writes in his memoir that their marriage had "become devoid of any emotionality whatsoever."
The 49-year-old True Blood actor discusses that period in Bloodlines, his memoir arriving Oct. 13 from Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster.
Manganiello and Vergara married in November 2015, announced their separation in July 2023 and finalized their divorce in April 2024.
Vergara had not addressed the memoir allegations when Us Weekly published its Oct. 7 report. The outlet said it had contacted her for comment.
Manganiello says his symptoms began shortly after the wedding. Abdominal pain sometimes left him unable to walk, while digestive ulcers, fevers, blistering rashes, bleeding and exhaustion became recurring problems.

Minka Kelly and Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds have split after nearly four years together, according to an Oct. 7 report from PEOPLE.
A source close to the former couple said the breakup "happened recently." The report did not identify a reason or say exactly when the relationship ended.
TMZ also confirmed the split. Representatives for both stars had not responded to either outlet's requests for comment when the reports were published.
Kelly, 46, and Reynolds, 39, were first photographed together in November 2022, when they spent more than five hours having dinner at Café Stella in Los Angeles.
Kelly and Reynolds made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the Museum of Contemporary Art's gala in Los Angeles on May 30, PEOPLE reported. She wore a bright orange Roland Mouret dress, while he paired a beige suit with a black shirt.

Young Americans are reconsidering the value of a college degree given the high cost of college and the prospect of taking on student loan debt, which is prompting some colleges and universities to cut tuition costs to attract students and boost enrollment.
A report by Bloomberg noted that several colleges and universities have announced plans to lower their tuition either this year or in the next academic year when students arrive on campus in fall 2027. For example, Emory & Henry University historically offered significant merit scholarships amounting to up to $23,000 to help students negate some of the $40,000 price tag they faced, the report noted.
However, the school moved to reduce tuition by half to $19,900 for undergraduate students this academic year to lower the sticker price students are evaluating, while still offering merit scholarships up to $5,000 and covering tuition costs for certain in-state students from Virginia who meet income criteria.
"Our tuition reduction plan was just one piece of a larger strategic enrollment strategy," said Dr. Louise "Lou" Fincher, president of Emory & Henry University, told FOX Business. "Ultimately, we wanted our published tuition to better reflect the real cost of an Emory & Henry education."

National Republicans have spent months trying to rescue Ken Paxton. He's complicating that effort.
Tensions are brewing with some Republicans after POLITICO published Paxton's closed-door comments that "D.C." Republicans were largely controlling his race.
"He is welcome to raise his own money and say whatever he wants," said one Republican involved in the Paxton rescue effort, who like others in this article was granted anonymity to speak candidly. "In fact, if he did that, he'd probably be winning right now and we wouldn't need to spend all this money."
"This just seems like Paxton preparing to blame others for what might be one of the most embarrassing defeats in modern political history," said Carlos Curbelo, a former Florida GOP representative.
Senate Republicans and top operatives didn't want to be in this position in the first place. Many had warned that the Trump effort to unseat Sen. John Cornyn and back Paxton in the primary would cost Republicans hundreds of millions to drag Paxton across the finish line in the general election. Cornyn and Senate GOP groups spent millions of dollars on ads during the primary attacking Paxton over his series of scandals and warning he was a flawed candidate.

Chet Hanks confronted Eric André on the floor of ComplexCon, approaching the comedian in person more than three years after they publicly argued over his appearance on The Eric André Show.
Footage published by TMZ shows Hanks approaching André from behind and placing a hand on his shoulder. André initially turns toward him and extends a hand before the conversation grows tense.
"What are you talking about?" André asks during the exchange. Security steps between the men, and André eventually walks away with the group around him while Hanks remains with the people filming.
Hanks posted the video on Instagram on Oct. 5th, following the convention's Oct. 3rd and 4th run at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Hanks wrote that André initially had "NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER" of criticizing him in the media after their television taping. He also mocked the comedian for attending the event with what Hanks described as four security guards.

Michael Douglas, firmly in his smooth silver-fox era, has opened the door into secret compartments of his life. Douglas, 82, has just published an incredibly dishy, wildly entertaining, at times both hilarious and painful new memoir, One ****** uva Ride. It's a tale that spans generations of Hollywood royalty, from his father Kirk's rise to stardom to his own run of classic films as both producer and actor: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The China Syndrome (1979), Romancing the Stone (1984), Wall Street (1987), Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and Falling Down (1993), to name some of the biggest. Written with Shane Salerno, the book is one of those rare memoirs that both entertains and sheds light on a lost world of Hollywood of glamour and decadence, with lots of ****** and drugs and even some rock & roll.
To discuss all this, Douglas has invited me into his palatial apartment overlooking New York City's Central Park, one of several homes he owns and enjoys. He's a welcoming and gracious host, no servants or ****** istants bustling about. Just Douglas padding around in his socks, still as slim, handsome, and charming as ever. Douglas makes me a coffee, and we sit down in a living room with a view of his two Oscars, an Emmy, and other awards. Between Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, the trophy case is so large it fills up a corner of the massive living room.

Michael Douglas says he never gave up hope that he and Catherine Zeta-Jones would reconcile during their 2013 separation.
The actor revisits the break in One ******* uva Ride, released October 6th by Grand Central Publishing.
"She's my wife, my best friend, and my life partner. I could never lose her," Douglas writes in a passage published by Entertainment Weekly.
He describes the decision to spend time apart as one they made together while still loving each other. They wanted to work out whether remaining married was the best choice for their whole family.
After returning from a vacation and having a heart-to-heart with Zeta-Jones, Douglas moved out of the family home. He rented another place nearby so he could remain close to their children, Dylan and Carys.

"Rocky" franchise star Dolph Lundgren was considering ending his life after a years-long battle with kidney cancer. Then a doctor "saved" his life by discovering a misdiagnosis had led to ineffective treatment.
The Swedish action star, 68, revealed in 2023 that he had been diagnosed with cancer eight years prior and that he'd been given a few years left to live after finding it had metastasized to other parts of his body. However, a review by another doctor's team led to the revelation that his cells showed a mutation commonly found in lung cancer patients.
Now, with his memoir, "Fights Worth Fighting: Finding Strength in Struggle," recently published and a documentary, "Dolph: Unbreakable," due for digital release, he is opening up about the highs and lows he's experienced since his 2015 diagnosis.
In a Us Weekly interview published Oct. 6, "The Expendables" actor explained that obtaining a second opinion "saved my life," adding that "I wouldn't have been sitting here right now" if his oncologist, Dr. Alexandra Drakaki, had not caught his misdiagnosis.
When he switched to a new medication, he felt "relief that it started working quite quickly."

Princess Diana's friend has slammed Charles Spencer's book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," dedicated to his late sister. For those unversed, Spencer penned a memoir chronicling Princess Diana's experience being married to King Charles, dealing with intense media scrutiny and her tragic passing. Ever since the book was released on September 22, it has been making headlines.
Princess Diana's friend berated Charles Spencer and branded him as "deeply disloyal" for writing a book about his late sister. In a 1998 TV special with Sally Magnusson, Spencer had declared that he would never profit off his sister's death and thought it was "low."
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward was once a good acquaintance of Diana and had spent time with her shortly before her tragic death in 1997. Seward told The Royal Observer's Palace Unfiltered: "I think that Charles has been deeply disloyal, writing about his sister, putting himself up there, and then to attack the king was so unnecessary. I don't know if what he's saying is accurate, but you know, memory does change over the years."
The Daily Mail published an excerpt, detailing an explosive phone call between Spencer and King Charles over Diana's funeral preparations. As per Spencer, Charles retorted, saying: "Rest **** ured, we will forget her soon enough."
Diana's brother said he was "stunned" by Charles' harsh words for the mother of his children. Additionally, he also claimed the King sounded "giddily elated, like a lottery winner," just after her death.

In a new book, the Supreme Court justice reflects on his "pet issue" of faith.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, the devout Catholic conservative who has long warned of animus against religion in America, says in a new book that he believes the court's landmark decision extending marriage rights to same-sex couples was "perhaps the decisive point in our nation's turn against religious liberty."
Alito, who dissented sharply in the 2015 case, made the claim at Catholic University of America three years after Obergefell v Hodges in a speech that was not open to the public or widely covered at the time. The remarks were published this month in "So Ordered," a collection of Alito speeches that he says reflect his judicial philosophy and outlook on the country.
Seven of the 19 Alito speeches published in the book were delivered to Catholic groups.
"In dissent from that ruling," he said in the 2018 address, "I expressed my worry that equating the expression of certain views with bigotry -- or, if you like, with dignitary harm -- would drive believers out of public life."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could eventually reconnect with Prince William and Kate Middleton for the sake of their children, a royal expert has claimed. The Sussexes returned to the UK in August, and their move could give Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet more opportunities to build relationships with their royal cousins.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ended their six-year stay in California in August and moved to a non-royal home outside London. The couple reportedly moved partly so Archie and Lilibet could attend school in the UK. However, they have not yet publicly reunited with other members of the Royal Family since returning.
Royal expert Lynn Carratt believes that could eventually change. Speaking exclusively to The Express US, Carratt said a reunion between the Sussexes and the wider Royal Family could become "inevitable." She suggested Harry and Meghan may also want their children to understand more about their family history and royal background.
Carratt said Archie and Lilibet's ages could prompt Harry to reconsider his relationship with Prince William. She noted that as the children grow up, they may ask about their cousins and why they rarely see them. She added that George, Charlotte, and Louis could become part of those conversations as Archie and Lilibet learn more about their father's family. "Who are their cousins? Where do they live? Why don't they see very much of them?" she said.
Harry and William have been estranged for several years, and their relationship worsened after Harry published his memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry made several claims about his relationship with William.

Halle Berry spent Sunday with her son, Maceo, before asking a Los Angeles judge to restore the parenting arrangement she previously shared with ex-husband Olivier Martinez. Her request, filed Monday, Oct. 5, seeks a return to their 2023 agreement for 50/50 custody, Entertainment Weekly reported.
A temporary restraining order issued Oct. 1 changed Berry's parenting time but allowed her to continue seeing her son during specified daytime hours. The order covered both Martinez and Maceo, according to records reviewed by PEOPLE.
Martinez sought protection after alleging that Berry physically attacked Maceo during a Sept. 26 dispute. Her attorney, Marina Beck, denied his account and called the filing "entirely meritless and deliberately misleading."
Berry, 60, was accompanied on the Oct. 4 visit by her fiancé, musician Van Hunt. They spent time together one day before Maceo's 13th birthday.
An eyewitness told PEOPLE that Berry chatted with Maceo at a Los Angeles Sky Zone before he joined an indoor soccer game. She and Hunt watched from nearby. When a fan approached for a selfie, Berry declined because she was spending time with her child. TMZ also published BACKGRID footage of the trio shopping at Best Buy that day.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest appearance has sparked fresh relationship speculation. Body language expert Inbaal Honigman said the couple appeared out of sync during their first joint U.K. outing since returning. The Duke and ******* ss of Sussex were photographed holding hands while walking to a Cotswolds pub. However, their relaxed appearance contrasted with the expert's interpretation of their body language.
According to News24, body language expert Inbaal Honigman ******* yzed photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry arriving at The Falkland Arms in the Cotswolds. The images, first published by The Sun, marked the couple's first public appearance together since relocating to Britain.
"They appear out of sync with each other during their first public outing, which could point to a potential clash," Honigman claimed. She alleged the couple displayed "very different body language cues" throughout their walk. The expert pointed to several moments in the photographs. She claimed Harry often looked straight ahead while Meghan focused elsewhere. She also noted that Meghan appeared guarded with one hand across her body, while Harry walked with a more relaxed stride.
According to the report, Honigman also highlighted a moment when Harry touched his ear, describing it as a sign of discomfort. "Their mismatched body language communicates a period of disharmony within their household," she alleged. She further claimed Harry walking several paces behind Meghan as they approached the pub "could be another sign of potential friction."
However, people at the venue reportedly described a very different scene. The Sun quoted a pub insider who said the couple "just acted like locals" during lunch. Meghan reportedly ordered gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips, while Harry chose a chicken, ham and leek pie.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's friend has reportedly suggested that the couple's recent romantic photos from their UK outing may carry a deeper meaning. The Duke and ***** ss of Sussex were recently photographed holding hands during a lunch date at a Cotswold pub. Notably, the outing marked the couple's first public appearance together since reportedly relocating back to the UK on August 26.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's friend told Rob Shuter that the photos from the couple's recent UK outing were taken with intention and purpose. For those unfamiliar, The Sun published exclusive images of the Sussexes on October 2, showing Harry and Meghan holding hands as they arrived at The Falkland Arms pub in the Cotswolds on October 1.
The couple opted for subtly coordinated dark-toned outfits, and both wore sunglasses during the outing. The "Suits" star wore an all-black ensemble with her hair loose, while the Duke of Sussex sported an olive-green fall jacket and a baseball cap.
The friend claimed, "This has Meghan's fingerprints all over it." The source explained that Markle is highly familiar with the worlds of media, photography, and publicity. According to the friend, she understood that the timing was right to send a pointed message to their critics and naysayers through the loved-up images.
A media insider also weighed in on the couple's recent UK outing, arguing that the paparazzi did not simply happen to capture the pair. Instead, the insider claimed that Harry and Meghan provided ample opportunities to be photographed.

LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Jeffrey Archer, the bestselling British novelist and former politician who was jailed for lying in a high-profile libel case, died aged 86 on Monday, just one day before his final novel "Adam and Eve" was due to be published.
The confidant of ‌former prime minister Margaret Thatcher lived a life that swung from the heights of luxury and fame to the lows of a two-year stint in ‌prison for perjury over paying a woman for **** .
He sold more than 300 million copies of his books, spent a total of five and a half years on the New York Times bestseller lists and found fans around the world with his pacy thrillers, among them the 1976 debut "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" and 1979's mass-selling "Kane & Abel".
Publisher HarperCollins said Archer, who had met and signed books for fans in London's Leicester Square Theatre on Sunday and had been scheduled to speak at events this week, died "suddenly and peacefully at home ... between writing sessions".

Warren Buffett stepped down from his role as the chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA)(NYSE: BRKB) at the end of 2025. During his 60-year tenure, he grew the company into a $1 trillion conglomerate with multiple wholly owned subsidiaries, a $350 billion stock portfolio, and over $350 billion in cash.

In his 2013 annual letter to shareholders (published in February 2014), Buffett specifically recommended the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) because of its exceptionally low fees. While young investors in their 20s and 30s can afford to take more risks, those in their 40s who want to achieve financial security heading into retirement might want to heed Buffett's advice. Here's why I'd buy the Vanguard ETF if I were in that age group.
The S&P 500 is made up of 500 American companies from 11 different sectors of the economy. It has a very strict entry criteria, requiring its members to maintain a market capitalization of at least $22.7 billion, and they must also generate positive earnings. But even after meeting those conditions, a special committee still has the final say over which companies make the cut.
