A report says that Prince Harry's hopes for reconciliation are in doubt after his latest interview. It coincided with King Charles welcoming the Sultan of Oman for a historic state visit to the UK. The news emerged after the Duke of Sussex revisited family matters and voiced hopes for a reunion during his recent sit-down with Zach Baron.
In a landmark moment, King Charles hosted the Sultan of Oman, Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, on Tuesday. It marked the first state visit by an Omani ruler to the UK in 44 years. The talks focused on boosting trade, defence, and Middle East peace efforts. Oman is seen as a key UK ally, and the King's meeting was expected to lead the headlines.
However, the significant diplomatic engagement was overshadowed after Prince Harry chose the same day to release his first tell-all interview since returning to Britain. However, the non-working royal's exclusive conversation drew major public attention and ended up taking center stage instead.
Commenting on the overlap, broadcaster Carole Malone and Daily Express royal editor Emily Ferguson weighed in. They suggested the repeated clashes in timing show Harry is not seeking reconciliation.
Appearing on the Royals Unscripted podcast, Malone said, "Charles will want to placate because he's of an age where he doesn't want to not be speaking to his son again. But I think Wills now is going to be taking the reins on this because what's happening now is that they are going to damage the royal brand… if this happens every time the royals are going to have a big event on."

Klay Thompson was ice cold in his first preseason with the Miami Heat, but the four-time NBA champion isn't fazed by his shooting struggles heading into the 2026-27 regular season.
Speaking after Sunday's practice at Kaseya Center, Thompson maintained that he expects to shoot at his usual level once the games "count," brushing aside concerns about being too far over the hill entering his age-36 campaign.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra also voiced his confidence in the veteran shooting guard as anticipation builds for Wednesday's season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Brought in over the offseason to help create ***** e around Heat stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo on Miami's revamped roster, Thompson looked out of sorts throughout the preseason, shooting 7-for-26 overall (26.9%) and 3-for-20 from 3-point range (15.0%).
It was a small sample size, as Thompson appeared in four of Miami's five exhibition contests and never played into the second half of any of them as the Heat went 3-2. Still, his shooting blunders went viral on social media, fueling ridicule.

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's public approval rating rose from a record low, while Americans voiced growing support for Democrats gaining power in the U.S. Congress in ‌a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in the days after the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention last week.
The ‌four-day poll showed 63% of Americans - including four in 10 Republicans and nine in 10 Democrats - disapproved of Trump's offer made in his convention speech that he would ensure all Americans get a $5,000 dividend if Republicans retain control of the U.S. Congress in November's midterm elections.
The survey gathered responses from 1,143 Americans nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points in either direction.
Some 35% of Americans give Trump a thumbs up for his performance in the White House, ‌up from 33% in an August ⁠28 to 31 Reuters/Ipsos poll, the lowest of his political career.

Mike McFarland, who lent his voice to many classic anime, died Wednesday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 56.
McFarland is known to anime fans as the voice actor for "Dragon Ball Z" characters like Master Roshi and Yajirobe and the "One Piece"character Buggy the Clown. His work was impressively robust. He also famously voiced a pair of Jeans – Jean Kirstein in "Attack on ****** an" and Jean Havoc in "Fullmetal Alchemist" – along with Teppei Sugo in "Psycho-Pass" and Tecchin Tecchikawahara in "Demon Slayer."

McFarland had diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago. Fellow voice actors J. Michael Tatum and Brandon McInnis started a GoFundMe back in August 2025 to help McFarland pay for a live-in medical ****** istant after he underwent surgery for aggressive glioblastoma.
"Mike McFarland, my dear friend and mentor of over 20 years, is gone," Tatum posted. "A rarer, more beautiful soul this world will never know. Rest in peace, Salt. The love you created endures, but ****** ed if I know how we'll get on without you around to share it back with."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly worried about daily school runs for their kids, Archie and Lilibet. Although the Sussexes returned to the UK on August 26, they have seemingly come back without securing taxpayer-funded security. It has understandably fueled concern for the anxious parents about their children's safety.
A close friend of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has reportedly voiced concern about daily school runs for their kids on the couple's behalf. A friend dished to The Telegraph: "It is absolutely the biggest area of concern. It creates the most dangers." Although the Sussexes returned to the UK on August 26, they have seemingly come back without securing taxpayer-funded security. It has understandably fuelled concern for the anxious parents about their children's safety.
According to the outlet, Archie and Lilibet's school has already been notified of their attendance. Not only that, teachers are already mandated to follow specific instructions. Additionally, the school is required to follow certain rules and procedures for maintaining the children's protection.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are reportedly awaiting a definite response regarding their taxpayer-funded security from the UK's Home Office. According to the outlet, the couple would like to know if they are eligible for police protection now that they are residing in Britain. Notably, the Sussexes were previously denied protection rights during visits to the UK.
Scott Hamer, a former Metropolitan Police royalty and specialist protection officer, showed his support for the Duke of Sussex. He told the outlet: "If there is a credible threat to him and his family, it should be objectively ****** sed. If there is a genuine risk, the state should provide protection. If not, that's fine, but let him know."

Well, it would appear Tyler Perry's next movie should be called Madea Saves the Day, because that's exactly what the filmmaker is being celebrated for doing after he learned about an 81-year-old woman who was struggling after a pipe burst in her home.
According to the story Perry saw on Fox 32 Chicago, the Illinois woman was displaced for more than six months after her home was flooded when a pipe burst. Brenda Daurham had filed a claim with her insurance company, Allstate, which later denied the claim, leading to a $17,827.96 lien being placed on her property.
Daurham turned to Fox 32 Chicago for help with the situation, which is how Perry learned of the story. He took his frustrations about what was happening to the elderly homeowner to Instagram, calling Allstate out while also pledging to help Daurham get back into the home she had lived in for decades.
"Don't worry, Ms. Daurham, help is on the way," he wrote in the post, which quickly went viral. Now, people are celebrating Perry for his quick and generous action.
The film star voiced his frustration on social media on Sept. 2, 2026. "Hey Allstate!! Step to the front real quick," he wrote in a photo that accompanied news footage from the story. "This woman is 81-years-old. You call this being in good hands?"

The Washington Huskies entered their Sunday afternoon Apple Cup showdown against the Washington State Cougars with an intention to get off to a hot start. Washington head coach Jedd Fisch probably preached that message to his team often leading up to this matchup.
Unfortunately, the Huskies, ranked No. 17 in the ***** ociated Press' Preseason Top 25 Poll, came out flat. Washington only held a 10-0 lead at halftime and struggled to pull away from their bitter rivals until late in the fourth quarter.
As NBC televised the game nationally, Huskies fans voiced their frustration with Washington's performance.
A lot of their comments were focused on Fisch, who is on the hot seat this season. Fisch is calling the plays on offense for his team, so there's even more ***** e for him to be a target of frustration.

You might find it hard to believe that Edward Enninful's 72 Magazine is celebrating its first anniversary. The commemorative issue of 72 celebrates the creative legacy of the 90s and "its continued influence on fashion and culture". The independent London-based print publication, founded by the former British Vogue editor-in-chief under his EE72 media company, bestows upon us a total of 9 dual cover offerings for Issue #5 Fall 2026. Two generations of supermodels come together for the occasion. Gigi Hadid (wearing Versace Spring 1994), Anok Yai, Paloma Elsesser, Imaan Hammam, He Cong, Adwoa Aboah, Mica Argañaraz, Julia ***** is, and Emily Ratajkowski feature on one side of the 72 Magazine cover. Archival photos of 90s icons Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy, Yasmeen Ghauri, Karen Elson, Christy Turlington, and Amber Valletta appear on the flip side.

"Gigi actually looks good, for a change! I give credit where credit is due, unlike Vogue France," remarked BalkaniStaCouture upon checking out the covers.
"I like the concept of the dual covers and the two generations of models on each side; very nicely done. There's some strong cover imagery here; I am particularly fond of the Gigi Hadid cover – and love the archival Versace," voiced vogue28.
Yet not everyone was feeling it. "What an unfortunate decision to juxtapose the 90s vs today. You make people realize how the past is superior to the present. This magazine is already setting itself up for irrelevance," Lola701 noted.

There aren't many — if any — figures across baseball who are more equipped to speak publicly about the state of the Los Angeles Angels than Mike Trout.

Significant change is coming for the Angels, though, with Tuesday's reported sale of $4 billion to Stan Kroenke.

There was no shortage of drama during Térence Atmane and Jaume Munar's tense first-round battle at the 2026 US Open. The closely contested match saw Munar venting his frustrations before Atmane was left incredulous after being denied treatment by the physiotherapist and supervisor despite his struggles.
Atmane made a strong start to his clash against Munar, clinching the first two sets to take a 7-6(5), 6-3 lead and move just one set away from victory. However, the Frenchman began to struggle in the third set, with his movement compromised as he appeared to be dealing with severe cramps.
While serving at 1-0, 40-40 in the third set, Atmane called for the physiotherapist and received treatment on his right leg. He went on to lose the set after resorting to serving with his right hand due to cramping in his dominant hand. The Frenchman then took a bathroom break before the fourth set.
The drama escalated in the fourth set when Munar halted play in the first game and asked the chair umpire to call the supervisor. The Spaniard voiced his frustration over Atmane's constant conversations with his coach and the delay between his serves, arguing that the umpire should issue time violations.
"Call the supervisor. Three times it happened. It's point, game over, 1-0, we switch and we play. I don't care about what's happening. It's rules. They're talking. It happened two times this game. I just asked you the question because of that," Munar said.

In his review of Transformers: War for Cybertron, Dan Stapleton referred to "the tingly nerd-joy of hearing original Optimus Prime voice actor Peter Cullen's authoritative dialogue". Every time the character appeared on screen, as he did many times in videogames like Transformers: Devastation and Fall of Cybertron or the middling movies, it was thrilling to hear him and realize, yes, they got the "real" Optimus Prime.
As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, Cullen has died at the age of 85. He joins a string of particularly beloved celebrities to have died in recent days, including Dolly Parton, Yayoi Kusama, and Red Alert 3 star and camp icon Tim Curry.
While most famous for his recurring role as Optimus Prime, Cullen also voiced Venger in Dungeons & Dragons, Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, Monterey Jack in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and provided the menacing clicking sounds for the Predator.

Fox News Digital spoke with attendees and activists at Friday's March on Washington who voiced support for systemic political change, from sweeping reforms to bringing socialist policies to their hometowns as DSA-backed candidates notch primary victories ahead of the midterms.
"I would definitely advocate for that from (the) ground up, like abolishing [the Constitution], rewriting it, including people's voices that haven't been included on there as well," Sravya, of Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital. "I would probably also rewrite all the oppressive amendments that are in there targeting marginalized individuals."
March on Washington 2026: Defend the Vote was held Friday at the Lincoln Memorial on the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. It was organized by Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
Fox News Digital spoke with a handful of attendees, asking whether they would support abolishing and rewriting the Constitution and whether DSA policies are good for the direction of America, questions that drew support from some of those interviewed.

Wyoming's Republican Gov. Mark Gordon voiced concerns about the Justice Department election monitors who observed the primary election in his state last week, saying he's asked his attorney general to look into their "aggressive" behavior.
The Justice Department sent two Civil Rights Division attorneys to Laramie County, Wyoming, which includes the state capital of Cheyenne. But some officials, including the state attorney general, weren't made aware of the move in advance, Gordon said at a state canvassing board meeting Wednesday.
"It sounded like the behavior of the observers was a bit aggressive," Gordon said, adding, "It just was irregular and, and I have asked the attorney general to start looking into … the nature of the visits and all that sort of stuff."
The DOJ, when reached for comment, pointed CNN to an August 18 statement from Wyoming US Attorney Darin Smith: "Voters deserve absolute confidence that their ballots are secure and their voices are heard without interference…. We are working alongside local officials to ensure every lawful vote is protected."
CNN has reached out to the governor's office for comment.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle landed in the UK to reports of new neighbors branding them a "disgrace". The news comes as the Sussexes made their alleged return to Britain on Wednesday after six years away. However, the couple will continue as private citizens and will not be resuming official duties as working royals.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's move to the UK is already stirring up reactions among some of their potential new neighbours. According to several reports, the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex will put down roots in the beautiful Cotswolds. However, not everyone in the charming countryside community seems delighted at the idea of the royal pair moving in next door.
Several locals reportedly voiced their annoyance to the Daily Expresso after a reporter headed to the area to sound out reactions to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK return. Discussing it on the podcast on Wednesday, August 26, host JJ Anisiobi revealed that some residents were "already furious."
He said, "A woman in a coffee shop, who lives in the local area, says: 'They should be banned. They are a disgrace. I think Meghan is an awful, dreadful woman. It can't be easy being in the royal family- they've got their faults as well, but they're two-faced in screaming about privacy.'"
Anisiobi shared that another local felt that the Duke had damaged his relationships beyond repair. A different resident voiced a separate worry about how the Sussexes' presence might affect the area's well-known tranquillity.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers wrap up their training camp installation, veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph voiced strong enthusiasm for the team's new offensive system. Rudolph credited both new head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio for establishing a dynamic environment and setting a clear path forward.

Mark Ruffalo has refuted charges that he is antisemitic. According to the actor, the accusation is baseless and criticizing the Israeli prime minister is not equivalent to being antisemitic.
"The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life," Ruffalo tweeted.
Ruffalo is known as a controversial figure in Hollywood who is ready to speak out, regardless of possible criticism. For example, he faced backlash from people who criticized him for opposing the proposed media merger and criticizing its executives.
"This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country," Ruffalo wrote. "Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle's business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public."
These statements coincide with concerns voiced by media watchdogs and freedom-of-the-press activists, as well as problems ****** ociated with one family acquiring numerous media properties and a lack of transparency in financing such deals.

On Wednesday, WDRB's Eric Crawford reported that many power conference commissioners voiced their opinions on the court rulings allowing the class of 2022 athletes another year of eligibility and the opportunity to transfer.
Among the commissioners, the SEC's Greg Sankey was firm in his stance on the matter. The commissioners of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, and Pac-12 also all joined together against the court case in Kentucky.
"Their joint declaration was among documents filed Tuesday in Jefferson Circuit Court, where Judge Brian Edwards is considering a request from 13 athletes seeking another season of NCAA eligibility," Crawford wrote.
The biggest concern among the commissioners is that the return of the athletes would create "significant roster instability" for the schools and across the sports. This stance by these conference leaders greatly affects Kentucky because Kentucky's 5-for-5target, Mark Mitchell, is in this group of athletes fighting for another year and the ability to transfer.
In a nutshell, Sankey is doing his best to prevent Mitchell from transferring to Kentucky.

The organisers of the Edmonton Marathon have admitted the course measured more than half a kilometre too long for the 2026 edition.
The annual event in Alberta, Canada is often used as a qualifier for the prestigious Boston Marathon.
But a number of frustrated runners voiced concerns online after the race, noting that the distance on their GPS running watches was over 26.22 miles.
Organisers initially dismissed complaints but in a statement on Wednesday, they admitted an extra 674.7 metres (0.41 miles) was mistakenly added to the course.
Race director Tom Keogh said: "We do not take this lightly. We hosted the nation's best athletes and their finishing times did not truly reflect their amazing performances."

Having succeeded Radhika Jones in 2025, names like Jennifer Aniston, Elle & Dakota Fanning, Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor, Margaret Qualley, Kylie Jenner, Mbappé, and Lisa have become cover stars. Covers have captivated and caught our attention to no end. Next up on the cover of Vanity Fair is Marc Jacobs, who fronts the 2026 Style issue of the magazine.

"I love art and portraits, but not this for a cover of a style issue," shared MModa upon checking out the cover.
"I've really been enjoying the new Vanity Fair a lot, but this is probably the weakest cover under Mark Guiducci so far. I don't mind it, though – it's definitely not the best, but I don't think it's awful," LastNight voiced.
"Sometimes it's best to just use a nice photo for the front of the issue. Twist yourself into knots trying to do something different, and you end up making Marc Jacobs look a bit like a very serious Ringo Starr," shrieked tigerrouge.

The dismissal of chief operating officer Kevin Lamour by Fifa sends a "deeply troubling message to all of us seeking change", according to Uefa vice-president Laura McAllister.
On Monday evening, world football's governing body confirmed Lamour's exit, coming just over two weeks after he told the ******* ociated Press that the Fifa administration was "deceived" by president Gianni Infantino regarding a proposal to sell shares in a World Cup entity to private investors.
Lamour's public statement on 31 July, alongside the resignation of senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro earlier that day, placed Infantino under severe pressure, with Lamour labelling the private investment initiative as "the project of one person".
McAllister, a former Wales captain and current Uefa executive committee member who previously worked alongside Lamour when he served as deputy general secretary at the European governing body, has now voiced strong criticism of his sacking.
"I know Kevin Lamour to be an honourable and exemplary sports leader who was a trusted colleague of mine when I was first elected to Uefa Ex Co," McAllister said in a statement.
