A royal expert claims that King Charles may distance himself from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This could happen as some serious allegations against Markle's father have surfaced. The source reportedly that, as the allegations have attracted unwanted attention to the Royal Family, it might lead to the monarch making a serious decision.
WARNING: The article contains mention of child ******* .
In a conversation with Page Six, Kinsey Schofield revealed what could prompt King Charles to step away from the Sussexes' relationship. "This may give King Charles III the ammunition to take a firmer stance in distancing the monarchy from Harry and Meghan," she said, referring to the allegations against Thomas Markle Sr. that he reportedly possessed child ******* .
She claimed that she doesn't expect King Charles or the Royal Family to address the ongoing situation surrounding Markle's father. This is because she is aware that this matter is in relation to private individuals and not ******* ociated with the Royal Family. Therefore, they do not need to defend or explain themselves. "The Sussexes are private citizens, and perhaps it's time the Palace made that separation unmistakably clear," the royal expert added.
These remarks came amid reports that Markle's half-brother, Thomas Jr., told the police that he found "hundreds, if not thousands" of child ******* images from his father's home in the Philippines. After submitting the sworn statement, Thomas Jr. spoke to the police about the disturbing situation (via The Sun).

A source claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's visit to Nottingham did not please one royal. The news comes at a time when the Sussexes' relationship with the Firm remains notably strained. That said, the Duke recently discussed his desire to reconcile with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles, in an interview with GQ.
Sources are suggesting that Princess Catherine is apparently "seething" over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's appearance in Nottingham. The outing marked a return to the kind of public engagements typically ****** ociated with royal duties.
As per RadarOnline.com, an insider said, "Catherine's frustration had intensified into her being consumed by fury following the Sussexes' Nottingham engagement, which revived painful memories of the couple's public criticism of the royal family."
They claimed that Catherine had long steered clear of confrontations with Harry and Meghan to respect William's feelings, but she is now becoming less willing to keep her thoughts to herself. The source added, "She is said to be absolutely seething behind closed doors over Harry and Meghan's latest appearances, and the scenes in Nottingham have brought years of frustration bubbling back to the surface."
The source further explained that, from Kate Middleton's perspective, it is deeply upsetting to watch the Sussexes return to Britain and receive considerable attention. The Princess of Wales is reportedly particularly aggrieved to see the pair greeting crowds and visiting local charities. They added that the non-working royals are now doing engagements almost identical to the royal duties they left behind.

Swimmers brandishing short, curved sticks held their breath as they somersaulted and dove towards a weighted puck at the bottom of a Hong Kong swimming pool, vying for first place in a sport likened to voluntary drowning.
The annual underwater hockey tournament, ominously advertised as "physical ****** ", nevertheless drew a roster of hardcore enthusiasts from countries across Asia to the Chinese city over the weekend.
"You have to choose when to use your breath and when not to... Anyone that's got the puck, you know that they've got some level of suffering," Leo Lines, a ****** anese-New Zealander competitor from Hokkaido, told AFP.
"I love that."
Suited up in snorkel masks and fins, players only resurface for air when they absolutely have to, and their heads remain constantly underwater so they can monitor the game.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers bashes Buccaneers' home field for safety concerns appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to leave Raymond James Stadium on Sunday with a 26-19 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, despite securing the comeback win, the Steelers quarterback expressed considerable frustration after the game over the condition of Tampa Bay's home-field surface.
Following the game, Rodgers openly criticized the playing surface at Raymond James Stadium, raising concerns about the potential risks it poses to players' safety.
"It's got to be one of the worst surfaces in the league," Rodgers said. "We're talking about player safety. I'm very thankful to not get hurt. I've gotten hurt twice on this field, in my opinion, because of the turf. I don't think it's very safe out there."

Bengaluru: When batters are scoring at 11.46 runs an over, even quality bowling attacks can be made to look ordinary. India's T20I series against the West Indies has exposed the vulnerability of the hosts' pace unit, with flat pitches, dew and short boundaries proving a punishing combination for bowlers.

West Indies' stunning 250-run chase in Ranchi, completed with nine **** to spare, prompted a stern **** sment from India head coach Gautam Gambhir.

"These bowlers are our bowlers, not someone else's bowlers. Their careers are at stake," he had said, underlining the scrutiny facing the attack.

With the exception of Indore, where India successfully defended 223, the bowlers struggled to contain a fearless West Indies batting line-up. While the absence of Jasprit **** rah and, to an extent, Hardik Pandya has been felt, the bigger concern for the team management is the inconsistency shown by Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav.

The two young quicks, Mayank and Prince, have alternated between brilliance and waywardness during the series, highlighting the challenges of adjusting to different match situations. The fourth T20I in Hyderabad offered a clear example. India conceded 18 extras, including 13 wides. Arshdeep accounted for six, while Mayank and Prince leaked two and one, respectively. Their attempts to execute wide yorkers and fuller deliveries repeatedly missed the mark, allowing the West Indies batters to maintain the pressure.

India's lack of proven T20 pace-bowling depth has consequently become a talking point. That has put renewed focus on the return of Bhuvneshwar **** ar, whose recall after nearly four years away from the national side could prove timely.

The experienced swing bowler has enjoyed a productive run in the IPL, taking 45 wickets across the last two seasons. More importantly, his success has been built on control and execution rather than sheer pace, qualities that India's younger quicks have often lacked in this series.

Conditions, however, have offered little respite to bowlers. High-scoring surfaces and heavy dew have meant that even small lapses have come at a significant cost.

As India prepare for a demanding tour of New Zealand, they know the challenges ahead will be very different. The pitches may offer more **** istance, but the key question remains whether the bowling group can quickly adapt and improve its consistency.

On the eve of the rain-affected series finale in Bengaluru, fast-bowling coach Morne Morkel urged observers to consider the physical and mental demands placed on modern cricketers.

"We sometimes forget that mental fatigue plays a big part. We have to manage that and be smart with it. Some of the players went for the Asian Games and then straight into a full series against the West Indies. These guys are also human," Morkel said.

"Execution and skills become better when you've recovered, slept well and mentally refreshed. That's a challenge. We're going to N

Fans question NFL's roughing-the-passer rules after controversial calls against Packers, Chiefs originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Roughing-the-passer has always proved to be a sore subject for NFL fans. That fact resurfaced once more in Week 6.
Some might consider the penalty, ushered in to protect passers from sustaining major injuries, as a godsend. Others view it more negatively, believing it should be reformed to prevent honest defenders from coming under its wretched glare.
Regardless of where you stand on the debate, it's clear that many don't believe slight contact should come under its purview. Someone appeared to inform some of the NFL's referees, however.
Here's what you need to know.

Notre Dame's 28-24 loss to BYU on Saturday night was all kinds of hurt. As we pointed out earlier, there are layers to his kind of loss (and that was barely scratching the surface). Obviously a loss like that is going to affect the rankings and the chances to win a national championship. Right?
Well… maybe.
When the odds came out on Sunday, Notre Dame was one of the favorites to win the national championship. Some oddsmakers had the Irish having the nest odds in the country, but FanDuel Sportsbook had Notre Dame behind Ohio State — and now as of publishing this post, Georgia is ahead of the Irish too.
Betting odds aren't always the best predictors of future success, but it's quite something that even after a loss like the Irish just had to BYU — this whole season is still very much in play.
There are plenty of things we can rage about when it comes to this Notre Dame football team, but that is the case for most of the country as well. It's why a day like we just saw all over college football on Saturday happens. It's nuts, but that's what makes college football, college football.

A newly surfaced text message attributed to Kimberly Guilfoyle appears to reveal what she really thinks of Bettina Trump. Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. ended their engagement in 2024. Bettina, 39, is now his wife.
"I was having a [expletive] great time Saturday and we had a [expletive] amazing time when we got home Saturday night that's a nonsense," Guilfoyle allegedly texted Eric Deters, a former Kentucky congressional candidate, according to a Thursday, October 8 report in The Daily Beast. "That's his ex-wife's friend. It's all lies, but she's a cloud chasing horror that plays the story in the daily mail to get attention."
Deters confirmed to the outlet that the message was about Bettina.
The Daily Beast cautioned that the texts may contain typos. "Cloud chasing" could mean "clout chasing," and "plays the story" could mean "placed the story." The outlet also noted that "his ex-wife's friend" may refer to Vanessa Trump, Don Jr.'s former wife.
The message does not say which Daily Mail story Guilfoyle, 57, meant. But the publication reported on September 15, 2024, that Don Jr., 48, had been seen kissing Bettina at a brunch on August 17 of that same year. At that point, the public still believed he and Guilfoyle, now the U.S. ambassador to Greece, were engaged. The two have never publicly said when they actually split.

Kourtney Kardashian found herself on the receiving end of Jennifer Lawrence's sharp humor, but the reality star says the timing made the remarks land differently.
Lawrence had criticized Kardashian last year only to reach out afterward through Kim Kardashian.
By the time the exchange resurfaced on "The Kardashians," Kourtney had already reconsidered her original comments, though she still said they made her feel particularly vulnerable when they arrived.
The exchange began with Lawrence's teasing comments during a November 2025 Vanity Fair lie detector test, when she said Kourtney Kardashian "drives me nuts" and is "more annoying than ever."
However, Kourtney said the circumstances surrounding Lawrence's remarks mattered more than the words themselves.

Despite the S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) 13.3% gain thus far in 2026, there's still plenty bubbling beneath the surface that could trigger a sharp and sudden market crash. Stubborn inflation, the U.S. national debt sitting above $40 trillion, and fears of an artificial intelligence bubble are just a few concerns.
As one of the most successful investors of all time, Warren Buffett has some sage advice. It's found in the 1996 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter, which offered one of the top strategies for handling a market crash. The good news is that it can be followed before a crash even starts.

It's easy to feel panicked when the market starts tumbling, and making any kind of move, even if it's a knee-jerk reaction, can initially feel better than making no move at all. While that small voice whispering to "sell" may never go away during the initial waves of a market crash, it can be countered by being prepared in advance.
Buffett shared exactly how to counter it. In Berkshire's 1996 shareholder letter, he said, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes."

The USS Abraham Lincoln, the US aircraft carrier that has been deployed for nearly a year and has spent months supporting US military operations against Iran, is scheduled to dock in San Diego on Thursday afternoon.
It marks the end of a deployment that has been described as "one of the most operationally intense and consequential of the modern era" and that became marked by a record-stretch at sea, repeated deployment extensions, and reports of supply shortages, and deteriorating morale and mental health among some crew members.
The Lincoln left San Diego last November, initially bound for the Pacific. But it was redirected to the Middle East after the US and Israel launched their war with Iran in late February. The carrier remained there until late August, when it was relieved by the USS George Washington and began its journey home.
Earlier in August, the Lincoln's deployment made headlines and faced scrutiny as reports began surfacing about poor living conditions aboard the ship, including shortages of supplies and water, plumbing problems, low morale, and worsening mental health among the roughly 5,000 personnel on the carrier. Two leading military newspapers also reported that there had been two attempts by sailors to jump overboard, causing concern among families and military health experts.
The reports prompted outrage from Democrats, while senior officials in the Trump administration pushed back. Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, called the reports "completely misrepresented", and when reporters asked Donald Trump if he thought the deployment had gone on too long, he responded: "Not nearly long enough" – a comment that angered some naval families.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey has resurfaced after reports suggested the couple "regret" statements they made while speaking with the media mogul.
The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex are supposedly preparing to apologize for remarks that included allegations that a royal family member had made comments about their son Prince Archie's skin color.
Other reports, however, indicate that claims of an impending apology are not true, as sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan have dismissed them as "nonsense" and "total rubbish."

Kevin Hart's 2017 ***** tape scandal could resurface in court as Montia Sabbag may be called to testify in the comedian's ongoing legal battle. Sabbag, who was involved in the controversial recording, could now face questions about the incident and the investigation that followed.
Kevin Hart's former ***** istant Miesha Shakes is seeking testimony from Montia Sabbag in her legal dispute with the comedian, potentially bringing Hart's controversial 2017 ***** tape scandal back into the spotlight. According to TMZ, Shakes wants Sabbag questioned about the video and the investigation that followed.
Sabbag was at the center of the scandal after a video involving her and Hart became the subject of an extortion investigation. She has acknowledged that she appears in the recording but has denied any involvement in making it or in the extortion attempt that followed. Shakes now reportedly wants her account of those events to become part of the current proceedings.
Sabbag's potential involvement comes amid a separate dispute between Hart and Shakes over a non-disclosure agreement. Hart has accused his former ***** istant of violating the agreement by discussing his personal life in an interview with a blogger. Shakes has disputed that claim and argued that Hart failed to fulfill obligations under the agreement, which she says makes the deal invalid.
The two sides also disagree over who is responsible for damage to Hart's reputation. Hart has accused Shakes of harming his public image, while Shakes has argued that Hart's own actions have contributed to it, citing the ***** tape controversy among other examples. Shakes plans to testify in the case and wants Hart to do the same. The legal proceedings are ongoing.

Investors aren't exactly short on reasons to worry.
The Shiller cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio, which measures stock prices against 10-year inflation-adjusted earnings, and the Buffett indicator, the ratio of stock prices to GDP, show that the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is historically expensive. Leadership has been extraordinarily concentrated in megacap tech stocks. Inflation is well above 3%. Long-term Treasury yields are at multidecade highs. And beneath the surface of the major indexes, market breadth has weakened considerably.

In late September 2026, Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding division secured a US$5.10 billion contract to conduct the refueling and complex overhaul of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), while also advancing carrier programs and expanding unmanned production capacity across its U.S. facilities.
Together with the Navy order for 10 ROMULUS unmanned surface vessels and the Pocasset unmanned systems campus expansion, these developments highlight how HII is tying long-duration carrier work to growing autonomous maritime capabilities within its Mission Technologies division.
We'll now examine how the Truman overhaul award, alongside new ROMULUS unmanned vessel production, could influence Huntington Ingalls Industries' investment narrative.

To own Huntington Ingalls Industries, you need to believe that its multi decade carrier, submarine and unmanned systems backlog can be converted into steadier margins and free cash flow despite current back end loaded cash expectations. The Truman refueling and complex overhaul award reinforces that backlog, but does not remove the near term risk that 2026 free cash flow could miss if contract advances or tax benefits arrive later or smaller than management hopes.

A fresh report claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new neighbors continue to voice complaints. This news follows reports that the Sussexes' Montecito neighbors are pleased about their move to the U.K. The pair have now apparently moved to a private estate in England's Cotswolds for an extended period.
Meghan Markle is reportedly facing complaints from Cotswolds residents, with a royal commentator claiming neighbors have raised several issues about her and Prince Harry.
Daily Beast editor-at-large Tom Sykes reported that the ***** ss recently visited Soho Farmhouse for afternoon tea with a companion.

The matter resurfaced on Vanessa Feltz's "At Home With Vanessa" podcast. The British broadcaster told her guests that she learned there were "tempers" and requests for "certain treatment" from Markle during her visit to Soho Farmhouse.
Journalist Daisy McAndrew echoed similar reports. She said, "I happen to be in a WhatsApp group of the village that is next to Soho. So I have a house that we rent out there and I can tell you that that WhatsApp group has been absolutely alive and buzzing with complaints."

Princess Eugenie has reportedly sidelined Meghan Markle amid the ongoing royal feud, and according to a source, Eugenie has allegedly decided to side with Prince William and Kate Middleton. She reportedly wants to stay out of the drama, but the Sussexes' return apparently left her no choice. The claims come after a signed copy of Meghan's children's book reportedly surfaced for sale online.
Princess Eugenie "had to take a stand" against Meghan Markle with a signed book, as per the source. According to New Idea, the copy of "The Bench" was originally listed by London seller Drive Easy's Signed Books. It allegedly featured a personalized message from the **** ss of Sussex to Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. It was reported that the book was listed for $26,423 before the advertisement disappeared.
Reportedly, Eugenie was "horrified" and didn't know how the book ended up on the site. However, the outlet was told that it might not be as accidental as it seemed. With the tension between William and Prince Harry showing little signs of easing, insiders allegedly claimed that she was keen to make her loyalties clear.
A royal insider said, "Eugenie's always tried to stay out of controversy," but with Harry and Meghan apparently "on her doorstep" demanding a "catch up," she likely couldn't stay quiet anymore.
Meanwhile, it was claimed that Eugenie has been forced to apologize to Meghan. This allegedly happened after watchers spotted the personal inscription on the listing. It reportedly mentioned "the special bond between father and son." Meghan also wrote that she penned the poem at Frogmore and hoped Eugenie would witness the same love there.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship began with a failed friendship bracelet, but the unlikely gesture eventually led to a first date, a public romance, and, in July 2026, a wedding at Madison Square Garden. What started as a playful attempt to meet Swift developed into something much more serious.
The couple's story has unfolded under extraordinary public attention. Swift is one of the world's most recognizable music stars, while Kelce built his reputation as a Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Despite the enormous difference between their careers, both have said the connection developed naturally.
The surprising part may be that the relationship doesn't seem to depend on having identical lives. Instead, shared humor, curiosity, professional respect, and an understanding of the pressure of performing for huge audiences have repeatedly surfaced as important parts of the connection.
Kelce first tried to meet Swift after attending her Eras Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in July 2023. He had hoped to give her a friendship bracelet containing his phone number, following a popular concert tradition surrounding the tour.
The plan fell through because Kelce couldn't get backstage. Instead, Kelce discussed the failed attempt on "New Heights," the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason. The public admission eventually reached Swift and caught her attention.

Princess Eugenie was reportedly left "horrified" after a deeply personal gift from Meghan Markle mysteriously appeared on eBay with a staggering $26,500 asking price. The item was a copy of Meghan's children's book, "The Bench," apparently inscribed to Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, following the birth of their son August. After its discovery fueled speculation about the women's relationship, Eugenie allegedly contacted Meghan directly to apologize and insist that she had never knowingly sold or discarded the book.

A source claimed Eugenie reached out after learning that the personalized book had surfaced online.
"Eugenie called Meghan herself. She was horrified the book had somehow ended up for sale," the insider told Rob Shuter's "Naughty But Nice" Substack, according to The Express US.
The source added that Eugenie made it clear she would never knowingly sell a personal present from Meghan. The **** ss reportedly accepted the explanation and did not blame her for the book appearing on eBay. Neither woman has publicly confirmed the alleged conversation, and it remains unclear how the seller obtained the copy. Its authenticity has also not been independently verified. Still, the reported phone call suggests Eugenie understood how the listing could look, particularly amid recent claims that her once-close relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan has cooled.

Sebastian Bear-McClard and Alessandra Brawn reportedly expanded their family months ago without making a public announcement.
The film producer and his girlfriend welcomed their first child together, a baby boy believed to have arrived around May, according to Page Six. Multiple sources confirmed the birth to the outlet, with one saying the couple named their son Donte.
News of the baby surfaced after Bear-McClard was recently photographed walking with the child in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. Both declined Page Six's request for comment.
The new arrival joins a family that already included children from both parents' previous relationships. Bear-McClard shares 5-year-old Sylvester Apollo Bear with ex-wife Emily Ratajkowski, while Brawn was already a mother of two before her relationship with Bear-McClard became public.
The couple managed to keep both the pregnancy and reported spring birth largely outside public view. Page Six's report says Bear-McClard was only recently seen walking with the baby in SoHo, bringing the family update into public view several months after the child's reported arrival.

Charles Spencer is sharing more details about Princess Diana's claims that King Charles III was "in love with his valet."
During a Thursday, October 1, interview on Next Question With Katie Couric, the 9th Earl Spencer, 62, discussed his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, and his late sister's controversial remark about Charles, now 77.
Spencer recounted in the book that Diana took him to lunch and told him she was divorcing Charles.
"And then she said this line, which I put in the book, which was, 'My husband's in love with his valet,'" Spencer shared. "We didn't push that any further, because the headline was, 'I'm getting divorced.' So I remember that, what she said though, because it was quite a jarring thing."
Rumors about Charles and an alleged "incident" involving a staffer first surfaced in 2003, when a former royal aide secured an injunction preventing the Mail on Sunday from publishing the allegedly libelous story, per CBS News.

On September 15, Digital Realty (NYSE:DLR) made ServiceFabric MCP available, a software layer that lets AI agents design, monitor and troubleshoot network connections across more than 800 data centers, including third-party sites. That nudges a real estate company toward becoming a control panel for enterprise AI. It arrives after second quarter results reported on July 23, when Core FFO per share, the company's preferred earnings yardstick, excluding net promote rose to $2.13 from $1.87 a year earlier. Here is what the launch does, and what it has yet to prove.
The pitch is that enterprise AI needs more than servers. It needs power, cooling, and sovereign placement that software can control. ServiceFabric MCP handles four jobs: designing and provisioning connections, spotting capacity and watching live network health, managing access through OAuth 2, and handing troubleshooting to agents with links into chat and monitoring tools. It is also open by design. Customers do not have to live only in Digital Realty buildings or commit to a single AI model. An IDC research VP argues that public cloud interfaces alone cannot give enterprises enough control over data movement and policy, which favors providers that pair global reach with programmable interconnection. Digital Realty runs the system on its own AI workloads, and See All AI, a medical imaging developer, leans on the Boston campus and ServiceFabric to move large datasets quickly and securely.
The financial engine underneath is running hot. Renewal leases in the second quarter were signed at rates 25.4% higher on a cash basis, which shows customers will pay more to stay put. Signed leases waiting to start added up to a $1.9 billion backlog of annualized base rent at 100% share, so future revenue is already lined up. Management responded by lifting its 2026 Core FFO per share outlook, excluding net promote, to $8.15 to $8.20.
Start with what the launch has not shown yet. Digital Realty itself calls MCP an emerging standard, and ServiceFabric MCP is still being validated across internal, enterprise, and partner deployments. The announcement puts no dollar figure on what it could add to revenue, and the company describes it only as the first programmable surface of a larger architecture that may later stretch into ***** e, power and inventory. Until customers pay for this layer, it is a promising idea more than a line item.
Then there is the bill for the physical side. Digital Realty carried about $18.6 billion of debt at June 30, 2026, and its 2026 development spending outlook, net of partner contributions, now sits at $4.25 billion to $4.75 billion. The outlook also ***** umes new long-term debt priced at 4.5% to 5.5%, up from the earlier 4.0% to 4.5%. To help pay for growth, the company has sold roughly 13.5 million shares this year for about $2.5 billion, which spreads future earnings across more owners. And the quarter's headline flattered a bit: Core FFO per share of $2.65 included a $18

Incredible footage of a tornado scraping along a mountaintop near Fruit Heights, Utah, on Friday surfaced online, with reports of the twister occurring at an elevation of about 7,500 feet (almost 2,300 metres).
When you're living near a mountainside, one of the last things you would expect to see moving fast at higher elevations would be a tornado, but that's what happened in Utah on Friday.
According to the Salt Lake City, Utah, branch of the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), a rare, strong twister occurred near Fruit Heights, Utah. The funnel first made contact with the ground near a summit along the ridgeline extending west from Francis Peak, at an elevation of about 7,500 feet (almost 2,300 metres).
Tornadoes are uncommon at very high elevation due to drier air and less favourable thunderstorm dynamics.
