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

Americans are increasingly falling victim to so-called "ghost charges": small, frictionless payment purchases at Starbucks or McDonald's, or digital subscription deductions from your bank account you forgot about. The costs may only be $5 or $10 a pop, but they add up, and before you know it, $200 has disappeared from your savings every month.

Additionally, three of the median person's four small recurring monthly charges go to merchants they never otherwise interact with.

This article contains details, including depictions of violence, which some readers may find distressing.
Without the interventions of her family and friends, Amy says she would have married the man who had physically and psychologically abused her for much of their relationship.
Had the wedding gone ahead, she fears he would have eventually killed her.
Christopher Malcolm, a serial rapist who was recently jailed for his crimes, inflicted life-changing injuries on his former fiancée - on one occasion she said he left her face "black and blue" just before she visited her terminally ill father for Father's Day.
Amy, not her real name, told the BBC that staying in the relationship was often a means to calm the violence and survive. So long as Malcolm was free, she said she did not feel safe enough to report him to police.

(NEXSTAR) – Building a collection of unique banknotes? You'd be off to a solid start if you find one with a "solid" serial number.
A "solid" serial number, as known to collectors, is a serial number on a U.S. banknote that features only a single repeating digit, such as "11111111" or "77777777." Bills with such numbers might not be quite as rare as, say, a discontinued banknote or a bill with a double denomination error, but they're still among some of the most recognized "oddities" in paper-money collecting, according to Doug Mudd, the curator and director of the American Numismatics ***** ociation's Edward C. Rochette Money Museum in Colorado.
"As a type, they are somewhat popular because they are more readily noticeable," Mudd tells Nexstar.
Mudd pointed out, however, that a "solid" serial number is technically "just as rare or common as any other," mathematically speaking. But much like collectors who seek out "radar" serial numbers (i.e., palindromic numbers, such as 12344321 or 55433455), there are indeed niche collectors willing to pay well over face value for more unique specimens.
In fact, banknotes with solid serial numbers generally fetch more than other so-called "fancy" serial numbers, seeing as there are fewer possible bills with solid numbers in a series.

Chief Executive David Steinberg cracked some XL-sized eggs before hatching Zeta Global (ZETA) and building it up into a soaring and swooping AI marketing stock. Just this year, Zeta shares have climbed more than 50%.
His prior company, InPhonic, drew condemnation from a Better Business Bureau chief executive, prized growth over profits, faced regulatory charges and landed in bankruptcy court. After it delisted, it seems the serial founder was ***** -bent on constructing its foil.
That's Zeta. Early on, it was apparently so bottom-line focused that venture capitalists deemed it "too profitable" to invest. Steinberg and his partners initially self-funded it.
Zeta is now a rising marketing and advertising platform — with partners such as Palantir (PLTR) and OpenAI, and an AI bot named after a Greek goddess.
Wall Street expects Zeta's revenue growth to accelerate. After rising an average of 30.3% over the past three years, ***** ysts see 39% growth this year, to $1.82 billion, per FactSet. They also anticipate rising quarterly profits, including $12.5 million in the third quarter and $22.4 million in the fourth, with a dip attributable to seasonality the following quarter.

The two-time Oscar winner, 83, stars in the new Netflix movie, The Whisper Man, as the estranged father of Adam Scott's character, whose son is kidnapped.

Megyn Kelly isn't buying the insanity defense at the center of Lindsay Clancy's ongoing murder trial.
Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the January 2023 strangulation deaths of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8, at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. If convicted, she faces life in prison without parole.
Court TV
On the Tuesday, August 25, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly, 55, argued that Clancy's case does not meet the legal standard for insanity. To make her point, she compared Clancy to Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious serial killer who killed 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 murders in Wisconsin, but a jury found him legally sane in 1992, despite testimony about his mental and personality disorders, Live5News reported. He was killed in prison in 1994, at age 34.
"If anybody would ever meet the definition of legally insane, it should be somebody like a Jeffrey Dahmer," Kelly said on the podcast. "A jury rejected the insanity defense of Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm sorry, but Lindsay Clancy is far closer to sane than Jeffrey Dahmer was, but she's trying the same defense."

When you find out an actor whose work you enjoy is blatantly racist and antisemitic in real life, does that realization ruin every movie they've been a part of?
What about an author who has expressed harmful opinions about a marginalized group? What about a smart, witty comedian who turns out to be a serial ******* ual ******* aulter? Where do you draw the line between a creator and their creation? As someone with his feet in both worlds, actor Wil Wheaton weighed in on that question and offered a refreshingly reasonable perspective back in 2021.
"Question: I have more of an opinion question for you. When fans of things hear about misconduct happening on sets/behind-the-scenes are they allowed to still enjoy the thing? Or should it be boycotted completely? Example: I've been a major fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer since I was a teenager and it was currently airing. I really nerded out on it and when I lost my Dad at age 16. 'The Body' episode had me in such cathartic tears. Now we know about Joss Whedon. I haven't rewatched a single episode since his behavior came to light. As a fan, do I respectfully have to just box that away? Is it disrespectful of the actors that went through it to knowingly keep watching?"

The United States Postal Service (USPS) published a rule Friday that would require states to provide lists of voters who received mail-in ballots to the agency.
The USPS rule, first proposed on June 2, moves to align the agency with President Donald Trump's March 31 executive order, which, among other things, ordered the agency to mandate that all states that plan to use USPS to send mail-in ballots notify the agency at least 90 days before an election and to send USPS a list of eligible voters the state plans on providing a mail-in ballot to at least 60 days before the election.
"Any state that intends to receive mail-in or absentee ballots from individual voters through the Postal Service must ensure that such individuals have been enrolled with the Postal Service for inclusion on the state's Mail-In and Absentee Participation List," the new rule reads.
In order for an individual to be included on the list, their state must submit to the USPS the individual's name and address and include a "uniquely serialized Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb)" on both the outbound federal ballot and the return ballot sent to the individual.

Expectations at Real Madrid could hardly be higher heading into Jose Mourinho's first season back in charge, given the kind of signings they have made.
That, coupled with the fact that the serial winner is back in charge, means a lot is expected of Los Blancos this campaign.
According to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, both the coach and the club are convinced the squad are capable of fighting on every front this season.
The message from inside Valdebebas is one of confidence rather than transition.
Despite the significant changes made this summer, Real Madrid believe Mourinho already has the resources required to challenge immediately.

Several months after recounting the harrowing details of her abduction in a Netflix documentary, Elizabeth Smart has launched a podcast to give survivors of violent crimes a chance to tell their own stories.
In "The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart," which launched on Aug. 17, Smart provides a platform for survivors to open up about what they endured, the aftermath and the continual healing process, as The New York Times reported.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to help share these stories and introduce you to the people behind them," Smart said in a Facebook post announcing the podcast.
The first episode features an interview with Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who escaped from a serial killer when she was 15 years old.
In a brief clip from the podcast shared on social media, Robinson recounts the moment she was being kidnapped and how she asked the kidnapper what he was doing.

This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
Kara Robinson Chamberlain was just 15 years old when she was abducted by a serial killer. Now, she's searching for answers in cases that have gone unsolved for decades.
The victim advocate hosts the ABC News Studios and Freeform true-crime series "Somebody Knows Something," which takes a fresh look at unsolved disappearances and murders that have baffled investigators. Working alongside loved ones, Chamberlain revisits a cold case in each episode, hoping renewed attention will generate the lead that finally cracks it.
Slain Dad's Daughter Knew 'Black Swan' Ex-ballerina Shot Him After One Call: 'She Killed Him, Didn't She?'
"My purpose was to let families have the mic and show what law enforcement has done," Chamberlain told Fox News Digital.

Kara Robinson Chamberlain was just 15 years old when she was abducted by a serial killer. Now, she's searching for answers in cases that have gone unsolved for decades.
The victim advocate hosts the ABC News Studios and Freeform true-crime series "Somebody Knows Something," which takes a fresh look at unsolved disappearances and murders that have baffled investigators. Working alongside loved ones, Chamberlain revisits a cold case in each episode, hoping renewed attention will generate the lead that finally cracks it.

"My purpose was to let families have the mic and show what law enforcement has done," Chamberlain told Fox News Digital. "We want people to have the information they need, so they can come forward with anything that could be helpful. Several of these cases involve children, young people. I have three kids, so I found myself identifying with either the young person who is missing or the victims themselves as parents.

A one-of-a-kind Yoshinobu Yamamoto card has become the second-most expensive card of the Los Angeles Dodgers ace ever sold publicly.
The 2025 Topps Dynasty Autographed MLB Logo Patch card, featuring Yamamoto's signature and a game-used MLB Logoman patch, sold through Goldin for $196,400. The card is serial-numbered 1-of-1.
That price trails only the $461,160 paid in March 2026 for Yamamoto's 2024 Bowman Chrome Image Variation Autographs Superfractor rookie card. That card, also a 1-of-1, was graded BGS Mint 9 and drew 50 bids at Goldin.
For collectors, the latest result provides another indication that Yamamoto has moved into a different tier of the modern baseball card market.
The appeal of the Topps Dynasty card is easy to see.

After almost four decades, the execution of James Duckett brought closure for two families who believe they both lost young girls to the same killer.
The 68-year-old was executed by lethal injection July 28 for the rape and murder of 11-year-old Teresa McAbee while on duty as a cop for the Mascotte Police Department.
McAbee's family attended his execution at the Florida State Prison in Raiford.
They were joined by family and friends of 14-year-old Jeanifer Weldon. Authorities believe she also was killed by Duckett four months after he murdered McAbee.

Kaia Gerber has her dinner-date style down. The model-turned-actor, who recently starred in the 1980s-based serial-killer drama The Shards, shed her character's neon colors and voluminous hair for a low-key night out with her boyfriend, Lewis Pullman.
EVGA - BACKGRID
The two kept things classic and timeless for the outing. Gerber, who has long been known to love a little black dress and her Repetto ballerinas, layered a long trench coat over a sleeveless midi. Her go-to ballet flats, which she designed in collaboration with the label, offered a soft suede feel and a slight subtle lift. She draped a chocolate-brown sweater over her shoulders, added some sunglasses, and finished things off with a pop of color, thanks to her cobalt-blue Chanel shoulder bag.
Next to her, Pullman matched his girlfriend's blues with his jacket and T-shirt. He styled them both with white jeans and a baseball cap, and grabbed her hand as they made their way to the Los Angeles restaurant.

MacKenzie Scott has spent the past several years making headlines for giving away billions. Now, the billionaire philanthropist is returning to the work she was doing long before her fortune became the story: writing fiction.
According to The New York Times, Scott revealed that she has written a new novel, Last Days in Two Nations (A History in Eighteen Minds), and plans to release it serially throughout August through a newly launched Substack newsletter. The 80,000-word, 317-page book will be her first novel in 13 years, following 2013's Traps.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Scott offered only a glimpse of what's coming, publishing four introductory pages containing the ***** le, table of contents, characters and epigraphs. On Instagram, she directed followers to "read and subscribe" and shared a schedule for the book's rollout.
The release represents an unusual return to public-facing work for Scott, who has largely avoided interviews and appearances even as she became one of the world's most closely watched philanthropists.

Jana Monroe was the first woman to join the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit.
She spent years profiling serial killers and understanding their psychology.
She knew it was time to leave the BSU for more traditional ****** ignments after work followed her home.
The turning point for former FBI agent Jana Monroe came when her husband couldn't find a single kitchen knife in their home.
Monroe had spent years studying serial killers, violent crime scenes, and the psychology behind some of the country's most disturbing crimes. By then, she realized she had started bringing those cases home with her.

Every time I open the internet, Charlize Theron is serving another standout look on the Asian leg of The Odyssey press tour, and I have absolutely no complaints. Her latest appearance came at the Seoul premiere held at Yeongdeungpo Times Square on Tuesday.

About 99.9% of you weren't on board with her previous Tom Ford look. The comments on my Facebook group ranged from "Female Dexter" and "Serial Killer Chic by Aileen Wuornos" to one reader who described her recent run of looks as "the curtain, the table and now the raincoat." I'm ***** uming that was a reference to the Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Tom Ford looks.
Here it was called "a dumb, dumb look," while another said, "The gloves and skirt turn this into a fancy butcher trying to avoid getting blood on her clothes."

Andres Nocioni: As a rival Kobe Bryant would kill you, he was a serial killer, very competitive. I imagine he must have been the closest thing to Jordan in that mindset, because I played against LeBron James. LeBron seems to me to be top two, top three in the NBA, one of the best, but I don't know if he has what Kobe and Jordan had. They were serial killers, a certain mindset. And I think LeBron is a total star, but I don't know if he has that killer mentality.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Sunday said President Trump likes the daily strikes on Iran, which paused going into the weekend after nearly two straight weeks of attacks on Iranian infrastructure.
"I think we ought to continue the blockade and starve them out. I think we ought to bomb Pickaxe Mountain and try to reach what's underneath it, " Kennedy told CBS News's Margaret Brennan during his appearance on "Face the Nation."
"The president likes the daily attacks," Kennedy added. "He believes that sometimes you have to kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys."
Kennedy compared Iran's leaders to American serial killer Son of Sam and cult leader Charles Manson, calling them "more than mildly insane." But he added that the U.S. should not "just cut and run."
"If we can stand the pain of the rising cost of energy, we need to stay the course," he said. "At least for a few more months. I also don't think we need to send in troops. That's my opinion, for what it's worth."

Sean Penn admits he briefly considered attacking one of America's most infamous serial killers after the two unexpectedly came face to face behind bars.
In a recent interview with VICE News, the actor recalled spending 34 days in Los Angeles County Jail during the height of his early Hollywood success. Penn said he was in his mid-20s, had already starred in "Taps" and filmed "Colors," and was married to Madonna when he crossed paths with the "Night Stalker."
"I got moved out of general population because of some kind of threat," the 65-year-old told the outlet. "... And a lot of guys on this department... they invest a lot in pretending not to give a s--- about Hollywood culture, but they sure do like to gossip [about] what they see."
