(NewsNation) — Canadian taxpayers are furious they had to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect Prince Harry while he was wooing Meghan Markle and during his time promoting Invictus.
Even worse, they also found out they spent more to cover the ginger prince over five years than any other internationally protected person over the same period.
According to a document obtained by CBC News (which it received under Canada's access to information law), "the RCMP spent at least $539,575 to provide security between 2014/15 and 2019/20 when Prince Harry travelled to Canada for events like the Invictus Games and to date his future wife, Meghan Markle."

These costs were much higher than the $334,337 initially revealed by the RCMP in 2021, which "accounted for around 10% of the over $5.2 million spent during that period to provide security to more than 100 internationally protected persons who visited Canada."

Wales have collected 15 medals so far at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with two gold, five silvers and eight bronze medals.
There are four more guaranteed medals after boxers Rosie Eccles, Owain Harris-Allan, Orlando Holley-Sotomi and Connor Williams reached Friday's semi-finals and will therefore win at least a bronze.
Wales' most successful Games were on the Gold Coast in 2018 where they won home 36 medals, including 10 golds, 12 silvers and 14 bronze, but the streamlined nature of this Glasgow event makes it difficult to compare.
The 2026 medals include six in swimming, four in athletics, three in artistic gymnastics, and one each in bowls and weightlifting.
The swimming relay podium position count as one medal per race but all the competitors who took part in the heat or finals of that event will be given a medal. That means 13 Welsh swimmers leave Glasgow with medals.

Speaking with Ana Navarro on the July 27 episode of the "Bleep!" podcast, the comedian said she gradually increased her dosage of the Type 2 diabetes medication over three years, losing about 65 pounds without experiencing adverse effects.

"I did the lowest dose for [the first] year with 2.5. Then I did [the second] year at 5 and now I'm just finishing year [three] at 7.5," O'Donnell said, referring to milligrams dosing.
O'Donell and Michelle Trachtenberg star in the first Nickelodeon movie "Harriet the Spy" in 1996.

"For me this is very sentimental, it's about Wales, my people, my team and giving us all that one last little stab at something when it's a bit hard."
With two Commonwealth medals and an Olympic Games on the CV, Rosie Eccles would be forgiven for walking away from boxing after significant injury battles.
But this fighter doesn't do easy.
Having left the GB set up in March, Eccles is determined to complete her Commonwealth Games "trilogy" in Glasgow on a high as she targets a third medal.
The Caldicot light-middleweight, who turned 30 on the day she carried the Welsh flag at the opening ceremony in Glasgow, says she has "more fire than ever" as she aims to repeat her gold medal in Birmingham.

Next weekend, the Pro Football Hall of Fame welcomes the Class of 2026. This year, five NFL legends will be recognized for their accomplishments on the field as their stories become immortalized forever in Canton, Ohio. Off the field, another distinguished honoree will also be recognized. During the Enshrinees' Gold Jacket Dinner, Sandy Grossman will become the first television director to receive the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Grossman's recognition marks a historic first for the Hall. Over a broadcasting career that spanned more than five decades, he directed coverage of a record 10 Super Bowls, 18 NBA Finals, five Stanley Cup Finals and multiple Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies.
Grossman retired in 2012 and passed away in 2014 in Boca Raton, Florida, at the age of 78. Earlier this year, his son, Dean Grossman, received the call informing him that his father would finally receive one of football's highest honors.
"I got a text from Rich [Desrosiers] at the Hall asking if I was available to speak in about an hour. So, he called me along with Joe [Hawkins] and Jim [Porter]. I told them I had never been to the Hall of Fame before, and they told me I'm going to get on a plane this year because my father will be winning the Pete Rozelle Award," said Grossman. "It was very emotional. I hung up and started to cry."
Earning a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is one of the most difficult accomplishments in football, whether as a player or broadcaster. The selection process for the Pete Rozelle Award is equally demanding. Candidates require an extensive case for consideration, and only one recipient earns the reward each year.

Rosie O'Donnell was a proud grandmother as she shared a sweet update on her fifth grandchild, Anthony, who was born in March 2026.
The tiny tot was snapped smiling in his cot, with a touch of reddish-brown hair and deep brown eyes. "My beautiful grandson Anthony," Rosie wrote in the Instagram caption, and her fans couldn't help but coo over the four-month-old.
"He is PERFECTION," one fan wrote, while another added: "So cuteeee!" and another chimed in: "He is so gorgeous." Anthony was born to Rosie's son, Blake, and his wife Teresa, and has injected the family with much-needed joy ever since.

Rosie O'Donnell was a proud mom on Tuesday after being joined by two of her kids, Blake and Vivian O'Donnell, backstage at her one-woman show, "Rosie O'Donnell: Common Knowledge".
Blake, 26, and Vivian, 23, were all smiles as they posed with their comedienne mother and Blake's wife, Teresa, at the Daryl Roth Theatre in New York City. Blake arrived in a white tee and black jacket while Vivian opted for an all-white look, and Rosie wore a black graphic shirt.
Her three other children, Parker, 31, Chelsea, 28, and Clay, 13, were not pictured. The actress now lives in Ireland with Clay, yet shared with People that she keeps in close contact with Blake, Vivian and Parker, and has visited Chelsea in prison after she was charged with drug possession.

Rosie O'Donnell is reflecting on her longstanding feud with President Donald Trump more than a year and a half after she left the U.S. for Ireland.
In a new interview with People on Wednesday, the TV personality said that Trump hasn't "shut up about her for 20 years."

"It used to be when our president would say things about me, it would be like, whoa," she said. "First of all, if you had written this as a movie, a stand-up comic makes fun of a reality show host who is a bloviating idiot and he ends up being the president, and then he doesn't shut up about her for 20 years, it would be unbelievable — and the fact that it's my life is very trippy."
Trump has gone on offensive tirades about O'Donnell since 2006, including during the first Republican primary debate in 2015, where he called her a "fat pig" and a "slob" on national television. She had slammed Trump on a 2006 episode of "The View" over his decision to let Tara Conner keep her Miss USA ***** le following scandals involving drug use and underage drinking.

Rosie O'Donnell says she has PTSD after spending 20 years as a punchline for Donald Trump.
While talking to People this week, O'Donnell explained that her life has been "very trippy" following years of being a constant target for the reality TV show host-turned-President of the United States. It even led to her having a bit of post-traumatic stress disorder dealing with her "archnemesis" becoming the most powerful man in the world.
"It used to be when our president would say things about me, it would be like, 'Whoa,'" O'Donnell said. "First of all, if you had written this as a movie, a stand-up comic makes fun of a reality show host who is a bloviating idiot and he ends up being the president, and then he doesn't shut up about her for 20 years, it would be unbelievable — and the fact that it's my life is very trippy."
"It's like a post-traumatic stress disorder for me, considering it's been 20 years of him using me as a punchline," she added. "I think that has allowed me to reclaim myself, who I was before all that went down, even though it's very strange to have supposedly the most powerful man in the world be your archnemesis."
O'Donnell decamped to Ireland from the U.S. following Trump's reelection as president in 2024. "I am softer, I think, as a result of being there," she shared, "of the welcome that we got, and as a result of me not being constantly bombarded by news about the current president."

Rosie O'Donnell has revealed why she and Madonna are 'like sisters.'
The comedian has recalled her first meeting with the Queen of Pop, admitting they became friends after bonding about an unusual thing in common.
"I had just seen Truth or Dare (Madonna's 1991 documentary film), and I had never met another woman whose mother died and they're named after their mother and then when you go to the gravesite, you see your name on the tombstone," the 64-year-old told People magazine.
"The first thing I said was, 'My mom died when I was young and I was named after her too,' and it was like we became sisters at that moment," Rosie said.
The two women remain friends to this day, with O'Donnell telling that they enjoy sharing details about their families with each other. "We talk about the kids," she said. "We just hang out when she's in New York."
She added, "I have to say Madonna has done one ****** of a job raising those children. She ran a very tight ship and I had a very not tight ship. Her kids, Lola and Rocco, would come over for a playdate when they were little and as soon as she left, I would give them an ice pop and turn on the cartoons. They didn't get to watch TV. But she's an amazing mother and those kids are concert pianists and artists and singers. She is pretty phenomenal. And a motherless daughter, even younger than I was when her mother died."

Rosie O'Donnell may have moved to Ireland, but she hasn't distanced herself from a longstanding public feud with President Donald Trump.
In a new interview with People magazine, the comedian likened her decades-long quarrel with Trump to "20 years of him using me as a punchline."
Trump and O'Donnell's feud dates back to 2006, when the latter was a host on "The View." She criticized Trump as a "snake oil salesman" in connection to his ownership of the Miss USA competition at the time, setting off years of back-and-forth spats between the two.
In 2025, as Trump began his second presidency, O'Donnell revealed she moved to Ireland to escape the United States' political climate. The president has since threatened to revoke O'Donnell's birthright citizenship on multiple occasions.

Rosie O'Donnell says her A League of Their Own director Penny Marshall asked her to lose weight.
"Penny Marshall didn't help by saying, 'Rosie, I want you to lose 20 pounds,'" O'Donnell told PEOPLE. "I'm like, 'You think I carry it around for fun, Penny?'"
O'Donnell starred in the all-female baseball league drama in 1992.

Rosie O'Donnell speculated on why President Donald Trump is "so obsessed" with her, decades after their public feud began.
On the July 17 episode of the Work in Progress With Sophia Bush podcast, O'Donnell, 64, shared her theory about the ongoing beef the POTUS, 80, has with her.
"It's so crazy to me, Rosie," Bush, 44, said. "He's so obsessed with you."
To that, O'Donnell said, "I have a theory. We both grew up on Long Island. He grew up in Queens; I grew up in Commack… He grew up with girls like me: tough, probably gay, Irish girls who didn't take s*** from no stupid, rich-boy wannabe – a**hole, liar, megalomaniac, no social skills, no empathy, no compassion. I would have told him to his face in third, fourth, fifth grade."
She continued, "And I think when I did it to him. quote unquote, on The View, he couldn't believe that I had the ******* to attack him. Because he thinks he is heralded, and held up, and belongs on Mount Rushmore, and, you know, solved 108 wars, and is the No. 1 person on 'Tic Tac.'"

Rosie O'Donnell said she wishes she could have done more for Michelle Trachtenberg before her death last year.
In an interview with Variety published Thursday, July 16, "The View" alum said she tried to help her "Harriet the Spy" costar after she believed Trachtenberg had gotten into drugs and alcohol, adding that she wished she could have done more.
"She got into drugs and alcohol, I believe, and then I lost touch with her. In the last few years, when she was in pretty bad shape, she would call me and we would talk," O'Donnell told the outlet. "I also called her mother to find out what was going on, and her mother told me what was happening, and how long it had been happening."
Trachtenberg died in February 2025 at age 39 from complications of diabetes mellitus, according to the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. She was found unconscious and unresponsive at an apartment building and later ******* ounced dead on the scene when EMS officials arrived, the New York Police Department previously confirmed. The manner of death was determined to be natural.
The comedian said she was supposed to see the "Gossip Girl" actress three or four times at restaurants or at her house, but that "she just never showed up."

Nicki Thiim enjoyed a perfect weekend at the Norisring in Nuremberg: After the Dane claimed Aston Martin's first-ever DTM victory on Saturday, he followed it up on Sunday. Starting from pole position, the Comtoyou driver controlled the second race as well and secured another triumph.
"I'm incredibly proud," Thiim says happily on ProSieben, as he also leads the overall standings. "That was always the dream, to have the name back at the top. I think the last time was in 1992 or something. That was the dream as a child." Father Kurt Thiim was runner-up in the DTM back then, after even winning the ****** le in the 1986 season.
"Incredible that I never thought I would someday be the overall DTM leader," adds the Aston Martin driver. "So I'm just speechless right now. I'm still living in this dream of the whole weekend. It's simply unbelievable."
Although winner Thiim had to defend himself several times during the race against HRT Ford youngster Finn Wiebelhaus, the 20-year-old found no way past despite several attacks and attempts. Lucas Auer (Landgraf-Mercedes) completes the podium in third.
Arjun Maini (HRT-Ford) finishes fourth, followed by Jules Gounon (Winward-Mercedes) and Thierry Vermeulen in the Emil-Frey-Ferrari. Previous overall DTM leader Maro Engel (Winward-Mercedes) has a difficult race, but still finishes seventh after starting twelfth and has to hand the championship lead to Thiim.

Rosie O'Donnell has fired back at Donald Trump, saying he is "quite ill" and "getting worse every day."
The comedian's clapback comes after the president shared a deepfake video of her and several other critics, including Whoopi Goldberg, Ed Norton, Robert De Niro, and Julia Roberts, admitting to suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Trump also sparked backlash online after attempting to troll Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce with a pointed message.
The latest chapter in the decades-long feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell appears to be far from over.
The comedian has now hit back at him after she and several other celebrities appeared in an AI video Trump shared on social media, accusing them of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

The Cincinnati Reds welcomed back closer Emilio Pagán prior to Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, getting back the would-be anchor of their bullpen after a roughly two month absence due to a serious hamstring injury. That good news, of course, was offset by more bad news on the injury front, as that’s just apparently how things are going to be for the Reds this year.
Dane Myers hit the IL after he hit the wall in fifth gear last night’s crushing 5-3 loss to the Beers, so Ivan Johnson will get his first day as a big leaguer after being called up for bench depth.
There’s a bit more good news today, however, as Eugenio Suarez is back in the lineup again after being plunked on the hand by Pittsburgh over the weekend in what, at the time, was scary enough to make us all wonder if it was broken. Good news!
Edwin Arroyo gets yet another start as the team’s 2B for the day during his hot streak, and Matt McLain will once again begin the game on the pine.
Brandon Sproat will start for Milwaukee, and with a 6.75 ERA at home (and 5.43 ERA overall) he’s one of the precious few Brewers having a bad season so far. Of course, he fired 6.0 IP of nearly perfect 1-hit ball (wiht 10 K against nary a walk) in his first start of the season against this Reds club, so maybe he just needs to face them a little bit more to make those overall numbers look a lot, lot rosier.

Sterling Mahomes is a regular at Arrowhead Stadium, where she sees her dad, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, work. She attends Chiefs home games, away games, Super Bowls, practices and parades. But on a sunny day in Kansas City recently, the 5-year-old got to see her mother, Brittany Mahomes, in her element.
Brittany, the New Fans Correspondent for Everything But the Score, Yahoo's World Cup project, was at CPKC Stadium, home of the women's professional team she co-owns, the Kansas City Current. She was there for a video shoot designed to introduce newcomers not just to the game of soccer, but also to the players, personalities and culture surrounding it.
For someone who has spent much of her life around the sport, it's a natural fit. She speaks about soccer with the ease of someone who has a deep love and knowledge of the game, following a successful career as a college and — yes — professional player.
While Brittany casually dropped soccer knowledge, Sterling pushed a doll named Rosie around in a toy stroller, chatted about life as a big sister to younger siblings Bronze and Golden and occasionally wandered over to see what her mom was working on. "She wanted to be a part of mommy's work and see what I do," Brittany tells me.
It's a small moment, but one that seems to capture where Brittany is in life right now: still chasing ambitious goals, but increasingly aware of who's watching from the sidelines.

The Devils go with a high compete, hard-working forechecker in Round 6.
With their own sixth round selection, the Devils selected 6’1, 179 pound center Luke Wilfley from the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL. In the high-scoring juniors league, Wilfrey managed 9 goals and 15 points in 66 games. So, what do we know about Wilfley?
Safe to say, Patrick Bacon is not a fan.
The Portland Winterhawks posted a much rosier picture of their own player with this video.
From the video, it seems that much of Wilfley’s offense came later in the season, which could mean that the young center was starting to figure things out late. He fits the mold of other picks this year as a hard-checking, high compete forward. Time will tell what becomes of him. For now, welcome to the pool, Wilfley.

Rosie O'Donnell has voiced her concerns about returning to the US for the 2026 Tony Awards, after President Trump threatened to revoke her citizenship.
The comedian moved to Ireland with her 13-year-old, Clay, in January 2025 after Trump won the 2024 presidential election. She was back on US soil on Sunday for the Tony Awards and told Page Six that she had already made sure she would have no issues getting back into America.
"I worried the first time I came back, whether that would be problematic, and I came alone without my child, who is 13 and has autism. She's my youngest of five," she shared of a trip she took to see her family in February.
"I wanted to make sure that if anything happened, it didn't happen in her presence, so it was fine, as it should be."
She added, "I'm an American citizen and always will be, and he can't really arrest American citizens without cause, and using freedom of speech is not a reason to be arrested in America."
In February, O'Donnell talked about making that secret return to the US for two weeks during her appearance on SiriusXM's Cuomo Mornings.

Rosie O'Donnell had some choice words for President Donald Trump on Sunday

The actor and former TV host also shared some memories of Trump as a New Yorker.
"I remember when his planes were repossessed off the runways at LaGuardia. I remember when he was broke. I remember when he would call up places and pretend to be his own publicist," she said, adding: "He is a conman. He is a narcissist. And he is a psychopath, if you ask me."
