Hannah Waddingham reacted to Prince William's secret DJ name after the Prince of Wales revealed two career paths he once dreamed of pursuing. William admitted that he went through a phase when he wanted to become a DJ, although things did not quite work out as planned. During his recent appearance, he also discussed his viral selfie with his children, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift.
During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Prince William revealed two career paths he considered pursuing when he was younger. The Prince of Wales shared that he once dreamed of becoming a police officer and also hoped to explore a career as a DJ.
"I did want to be a policeman when I was younger; I did think I would be a good policeman," he admitted. William then recalled his brief aspirations of becoming a DJ, a dream that never materialized. However, he had already picked out a stage name for himself.
"I was called DJ Xara with an X. It wasn't good," William said with a laugh. Hannah Waddingham initially thought he meant "DJ Zara," but she was not impressed with the name either. "That's rubbish," she responded. Cate Blanchett also joined in on the fun, teasing the Prince of Wales about his former DJ ambitions. She asked whether his X-shaped hand gesture was one of his signature DJ moves.
During his appearance, William also reflected on the viral backstage selfie with Taylor Swift during her 2024 Eras Tour. The Prince of Wales jokingly admitted that he had tried to keep Travis Kelce out of the picture.

Zara Tindall appeared on the latest episode of the "Talk Horse" podcast.
She discussed how her parents—both professional equestrians—prepared her for a career in the sport.
"My father was quite critical," Tindall said.
Zara Tindall reflected on being raised by two accomplished equestrians in a new interview. The daughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips discussed how they prepared her for a career in the sport.
"I think my dad and my mum were like, 'But you have to do it properly. And this is how it's going to work. And you're not getting any help, and you need to produce results,'" Tindall, who won silver at the 2012 Olympics, said on the latest episode of the "Talk Horse" podcast.

Mike Tindall takes a surprisingly formal approach when addressing his mother-in-law, Princess Anne. The former professional rugby player is married to the royal's daughter, Zara Tindall, and while most husbands refer to their mothers-in-law by their first name, he opts for a more traditional greeting.
When the 47-year-old appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain in 2024 with fellow former rugby pro James Haskell to chat about their podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, he explained about previously featured Princess Anne and the Prince and Princess of Wales as guests.

"They were amazing," Mike said of his in-laws before explaining why he wanted to bring them onto the podcast. "Rugby has been going through a tough time and we wanted to showcase why it brings people together from all backgrounds, it's such an inclusive sport, but it also creates great human beings," he said. "It was more important to showcase why they like sport, why Princess Anne has been a patron of [the Scottish Rugby Union] for 37 years and why she loves the characters in the game.

For the 57 years Princess Anne has been a working royal, her hair is usually seen swept up into a bouffant, ballerina-like chignon.
The late Queen Elizabeth II's daughter rarely deviates from the sleek and elegant hairstyle, which she has been rocking ever since she was a teenager.
While the infamous beehive has dipped in and out of style through the decades, the Princess Royal has remained its most loyal fan. She even had time to pin it up before leaving the hospital after giving birth to her children, Peter and Zara.
Princess Anne's chignon has become her most-trusted style weapon since the 60s (@ Getty)
"It's like armour," Claudia Harrison (who plays Princess Anne in The Crown) told Marie Claire, who added that Anne's loyalty to her perfectly-executed 'do is parallel with her unmatched work ethic and undisputed reputation as the hardest working royal.

Chad Baker-Mazara's departure from USC last spring came after head coach Eric Musselman went off on a "profanity-laced, racially-charged" tirade against him in the locker room, the former player is alleging in a new lawsuit.
Baker-Mazara filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday, according to the California Post, claiming that Musselman erupted on him after the team's loss to Nebraska on Feb. 28. Baker-Mazara and the Trojans split just days later. He is suing the university for breach of contract, conversion and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, among other things.
Baker-Mazara left USC during the final stretch of the regular season last spring. Specifics of his departure weren't known, other than it was reportedly due to "an accumulation of issues," but the timing was very suspect. The announcement came on March 1, just days before the Trojans kicked off the Big Ten tournament.
Baker-Mazara transferred into USC from Auburn, and averaged career-highs 18.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
The incident in question, according to the lawsuit, happened after their loss to Nebraska on Feb. 28. Baker-Mazara said that Musselman started yelling at the team in the locker room. Baker-Mazara tried to address his teammates, and Musselman shut him down.

Fast fashion group Inditex sold more clothes, made more money and started autumn strongly, yet the stock still fell because expectations were already so high that even another record performance was not enough to keep investors fully satisfied.
Inditex shares dropped around 3% after the Zara owner reported another record first half but delivered slightly softer profitability than investors had hoped for.
Sales reached €19.76 billion (about $23 billion) in the six months to July, up 7.6% year on year and the highest first-half figure in the group's history, while constant-currency growth was even stronger at 9.2%.
Net profit increased 6.8% to a record €2.98 billion, while EBITDA rose 7.8% to €5.51 billion and operating profit increased 7.6% to €3.84 billion.

Michael Reschke believes Max Eberl's decision to publicly make João Palhinha, Bryan Zaragoza and Sacha Boey available for transfer did not hurt Bayern Munich's chances of getting a good deal for the three players.
Eberl was remarkably open about the trio throughout the summer, making it clear that Bayern Munich no longer planned with them and that the club was willing to let them leave.
Reschke, however, does not believe that public approach necessarily reduced their market value.
"Well, they certainly didn't become more expensive as a result. However, I ******* ume that these statements by Max were coordinated internally," Reschke told Abendzeitung.
There is an important distinction in that ******* sment. Eberl was not publicly criticizing the players or suggesting that Bayern Munich desperately needed to get rid of them. Instead, he was communicating the club's sporting plans and making it clear that there were opportunities for interested teams.

September is just a few days away, meaning King Charles and his fellow royals will soon be making the journey south, leaving their Scottish bolthole, Balmoral, and returning to royal duties.
Over the summer, the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children, plus Zara and Mike Tindall and their kids, all made their way to the Highlands for a brief break, returning earlier this week, but King Charles, Queen Camilla and Princess Anne have remained at Balmoral.
After what has likely been a difficult week, with the King losing his 'dear cousin', King Harald of Norway, His Royal Highness was joined by his wife and his sister as they attended a service at Crathie Kirk, the church a short drive from the Balmoral estate.

The royals delighted gathered onlookers by travelling to the place of worship in their state car, as opposed to the Land Rover they usually bomb about in while visiting Scotland.

Four Jackson State football players — Reid Pulliam, Kazaraius Bowie, BJ Washington and Tymon Wells — were granted temporary restraining orders in Hinds County Chancery Court on Aug. 27 to grant them eligibility for now.
The four sued the NCAA on Aug. 24 in an attempt to gain an extra year of eligibility after they weren't included for a fifth year in the NCAA's new age-based model.
The news comes two days before the Tigers begin their 2026 season at Tennessee State on Aug. 29 (7:30 p.m. CT, ESPN+).
The temporary restraining order, obtained by the Clarion Ledger, lasts for 10 days. Jackson State's home opener is Sept. 5 against Edward Waters.
The order also states the NCAA is temporarily restrained and enjoined from any and all action "that penalizes petitions or JSU as a result of the entry of this order or such participation."

Ander Herrera's most recent competitive game was in front of a raucous La Bombonera crowd playing for Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores.
His next will be in the Spanish third division in front of roughly 6,500 fans against a regional side, Gimnastic de Tarragona.
But Herrera says his return to Real Zaragoza on a free transfer from Boca is just as important as any move he has made in his career.
"This is probably the last dream that I wanted to make come true," the Spaniard tells BBC Sport.
"To come back home, to the place where I grew up, that gave me the opportunity to be professional - not only in football, also as a human being.

Sacha Boey's future at Bayern Munich appears to be becoming clearer, and it does not seem to involve a significant role in Vincent Kompany's plans for the upcoming season.
After featuring in several of Bayern Munich's preseason friendlies, Boey was left out of the squad for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Borussia Dortmund. The decision has increased speculation that the club is now actively pushing the 25-year-old toward an exit.
Max Eberl addressed the situation after Bayern Munich's victory, explaining that the club had already been transparent with Boey and the other players whose futures remain uncertain.
"We communicated clearly with the three guys (Boey, Palhinha, Zaragoza) from the start – and when you have a game like this, you take the players you're planning to use throughout the season," Eberl told Bild (via iMiaSanMia).
That explanation suggests the decision was not simply about Boey's recent performances, but rather about Bayern Munich's broader planning for the season. Boey has struggled to establish himself as a consistent starter since arriving at Bayern Munich, and the club now appears prepared to move on if the right opportunity emerges.

Princess Anne, 76, takes her role within the royal family very seriously, racking up a whopping 478 engagements in 2025. Despite being a decade past retirement age, the Princess Royal spends her days travelling up and down the country to greet people and represent the monarchy. When she does get downtime, she retreats to Gatcombe Park, her beloved country home in Gloucestershire, away from the glare of the spotlight. Insiders tell ***** O! what life is really like at her private home.
"Gatcombe is her bolthole, where she is not the Princess Royal – she is Anne," says Ailsa Anderson, a former communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth II. "It's a lot less formal; she has Zara and Mike still living on the estate, and Peter and Harriet nearby." The Princess Royal's daughter Zara lives at Aston Farm on the estate with her former rugby player husband Mike Tindall and their three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas.

Royal author Robert Hardman agrees with Ailsa. "Gatcombe is her happy place; she's fundamentally a country person," he says. Her relationship with her children and grandchildren is "very no-nonsense", he adds. "It's very normal; there isn't any standing on ceremony, and she's the only one with a ***** le.
"She's a very good grandmother. She's hands-on, but like all grandchildren, I think they can get away with things. She dotes on them."

James, Earl of Wessex will soon be leaving the family home as he starts his new university life at the Royal Agricultural University in the new term.
Ahead of his new life, James was seen joining other members of his family down at Balmoral, and he was seen driving his father, Prince Edward, as they arrived.
Although most of the UK has been basking in the sun in recent weeks, at Balmoral, the temperatures are only around 15C, and so James and Edward were seen bundled up warmly. James wore a blue jumper with a gilet, while Edward was seen wearing a green jumper with a collared shirt and tie.
Plenty of other royals were seen joining James and Edward, as the likes of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne and Zara and Mike Tindall were seen arriving at the King's Scottish home.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK return reportedly turned Balmoral's "business as usual" summer into a royal family summit. The **** ss of Sussex and the Duke were said to be preparing an extended move back with Archie and Lilibet. The timing placed King Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other senior royals together in Scotland. The reported talks centered on school plans, family access, and the next Sussex chapter.
As per The Sun report, the royal family's Balmoral holiday became a summit. The outlet said the gathering included King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. It also reported that the family was calling the moment "business as usual." However, the report described it as the tensest Balmoral gathering since Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Meanwhile, The Sun said the meeting echoed the 2020 Sandringham meeting. That earlier summit followed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's announcement that they wanted to step back from royal life. According to the report, Harry and Meghan had already secured somewhere to live.
Their children, Archie and Lilibet, also reportedly had school places. The outlet said Charles was told of Harry's return on Sunday, before arriving at Balmoral on Tuesday.
At the same time, William and Kate were also said to be at the Scottish estate. Their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, had reportedly arrived too. The Sun said Princess Anne, Sir Timothy Laurence, Zara Tindall, Mike Tindall, Prince Edward, and Sophie were also there. That meant major working royals were with the King as he handled the next phase of the Sussex story.

As a child, Paul Aaron can remember his mum shouting at him for cutting up her party dresses to make clothes for his Barbie dolls.
But decades later, his mother Ali is a lot more understanding as his coveted knitwear designs have been worn by some of the world's most famous faces including Kylie Jenner, Shakira and Zara Larsson.
Aaron, from Hooton, near Chester, said he had to pinch himself earlier this month when Hilary Duff wore his statement dress during her The Lucky Me Tour at New York's Madison Square Garden.
"It was crazy," said the 31-year-old, who loved watching the TV show Lizzie McGuire as a child where Duff plays the main character.
His fashion career began as a student at Central Saint Martins in London where he created a dress by knitting bin bags together.

Zara Tindall was seen publicly for the first time since Wimbledon on Tuesday evening. The mother of three attended the opening festivities for the 2026 FEI World Championships at Allianz Park in Aachen, Germany, joining fellow royals Princess Amalia of the Netherlands and Queen Mary of Denmark.
Looking as resplendent as ever, the daughter of Princess Anne donned a sleek black jumpsuit by Frame. The sleeveless style featured a sash detail and wide lapels, and she added FINLAY 'Tavistock' sunglasses in 'Champagne.'

It was quite surprising to see the royal donning a black ensemble. Although it was expertly tailored in design and undoubtedly chic, the dark tone is synonymous with autumn and winter! This is somewhat of a rogue choice given the blistering hot temperatures the UK and Europe are experiencing right now.

Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands has unveiled her scar for the first time after her horse accident last year.
The eldest daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima attended the opening gala of the 2026 FEI World Championships in Aachen on Tuesday evening, alongside royals including Queen Mary of Denmark and Zara Tindall.
The Princess wore a sleeveless white and green striped dress from Nina Blanc, revealing a large scar along her upper arm for the first time.
Amalia, 22, broke her arm last June after falling from her horse, Mojito. She underwent surgery at the UMC Utrecht and was seen wearing her arm in a sling over subsequent weeks.

Queen Mary of Denmark proved why she is one of Europe's most stylish royals as she stepped out in a figure-flattering polka-dot dress for the opening ceremony of the 2026 FEI World Championships in Aachen, Germany.
The 54-year-old looked effortlessly elegant in the flowing caramel creation, which cinched her waist and showcased her toned arms as she joined Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands for the prestigious equestrian event.
The two royals sat side by side for the prestigious equestrian event, and while they took very different approaches to summer dressing, their contrasting ensembles worked beautifully together.
The event brought together an impressive gathering of European royalty, with Princess Benedikte of Denmark, Zara Tindall and Spain's Infanta Elena also among those in attendance. Princess Amalia had the honor of officially opening the championships.

Whilst Bianconeri coach Luciano Spalletti is desperate to seize a new central midfielder to bring equilibrium to the core of the pitch, Juventus have now set their sights emerging candidate Matias Galazara of River Plate.
TuttoJuve reports that other than Franck Kessie and Tijjani Reijnders, the Turin based club have been monitoring the 22-year-old Paraguayan midfielder throughout the Fifa 2026 World Cup and are reportedly keeping their tabs open in regards to a potential swoop.
As it stands, the Italian tactician is eager to acquire a midfielder that is capable of organizing the attack, dictating the rhythm in possession and constructing the play whilst moving vertically. Hence, the Old Lady believe that the promising River Plate star fits the criteria and believe that a fee of €6m would be enough to persuade the Argentine outfits in permitting Galazara to depart the club in favour of joining the Italian giants.

Bayern Munich's ongoing quest to offload João Palhinha- as well as Sacha Boey and Bryan Zaragoza- reportedly got a boost via interest from Aston Villa. The Villans, who Bayern beat 2-1 in a recent friendly, have lost star midfielders Amadou Onana to an anterior cruciate ligament rupture and Youri Tielemans to Manchester United. Despite the recent addition of the impressive João Gomes, they need more personnel and Palhinha is a concrete target of theirs.
That last tidbit of news is something Damián Vidagany, Aston Villa's sporting director, confirmed to Bild reporter Nico Linner.
"We need a midfielder because Amadou Onana will be out for the entire season, and João Palhinha is a very good player who would fit our plans," Vidagany stated (as captured by iMiaSanMia). "We are in talks, but there's currently no agreement. If anything does happen, it will always be on the basis of the big respect we have for FC Bayern. Our clubs are friends, and our relationship with Max Eberl, Christoph Freund and all the other people in charge is excellent. That is why I cannot and do not want to comment on any further details."
Of course, the problem is immediately apparent. Aston Villa wish to obtain a one year stopgap until Onana returns from his unfortunate injury, while Bayern wish to offload Palhinha permanently. How the two clubs reconcile that issue remains to be seen.
Perhaps the Bavarians will be willing to acquiesce and settle for a loan deal after all. The issue with Palhinha is that the club likely amortized the €51 million transfer fee and is still paying it to this day. If any potential loan deal can cover this year's amortization as well as the player's wages, perhaps the Bavarians would be willing to accept such a deal.

Just days before her 38th birthday on 8 August, Princess Beatrice has broken her cover for a low-key shopping trip to Fortnum & Mason in London.
Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's eldest daughter was spotted dressing in a casual high-street outfit as she blended in with crowds for her outing on 30 July. Choosing to flex her sustainable style credentials, Beatrice opted for one of her previous purchases from Kitri Studio, a deep blue midi dress with balloon sleeves and a belted waist.
The 'Joni' dress retails for £137.50, and Beatrice had previously worn it for a trip to Bluebird restaurant in London in May 2023. At the time, she teamed it with a black cross-body Celine bag and casual trainers, but Beatrice dressed it up with £50 Zara suede ballet flats for her most recent outing.
With her red hair left loose, falling in gentle waves past her shoulders, and her makeup kept minimal, Beatrice ensured she attracted minimal attention.

Bayern Munich are hopeful that Aston Villa will make an approach for midfielder Joao Palhinha during the summer transfer window.
Palhinha has returned to Bayern after Tottenham Hotspur decided not to sign him permanently, despite him being one of their most consistent performers during his loan spell.
The Portuguese midfielder has been linked with a move to Villa, but interest appears to have cooled in recent weeks.
Palhinha, Sacha Boey, Bryan Zaragoza and Armindo Sieb are not included in the 2026-27 first-team squad on Bayern's official website, despite all four still being under contract.
This is a clear indication that the midfielder is not part of Vincent Kompany's plans.

Warren Zaire-Emery could be a good option for Bayern Munich, but the Bavarian giants currently have no room for him in their squad.
Bayern legend Willy Sagnol believes the German champions should target another French talent in the form of Zaire-Emery.
Bayern have a rich history of signing French players, including Franck Ribery, Bixente Lizarazu and Sagnol himself, while Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano are currently part of the club's squad.
After progressing through the youth ranks at PSG, Zaire-Emery has established himself as a key player under Luis Enrique.
The 20-year-old has already made 183 appearances for the French champions, scoring 11 goals, while also earning 13 caps for the France national team.

Photographs of the Prince and Princess of Wales with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, often look like they could have been taken for a Ralph Lauren catalogue. Whether on their Christmas card or at official occasions, the family exudes preppy glamour. So it felt entirely appropriate that three out of five members of the family sported clothing by the American label as they attended the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Saturday afternoon.
The Princess arrived to watch the netball semi-finals wearing an ensemble which might provide inspiration for anyone looking to master a smart-casual look this summer. The hero piece of the outfit was a new double-breasted blazer, the Camden cashmere design from Ralph Lauren Collection. According to the brand's website, the jacket "debuted as a men's sporting style in 19th-century Britain" and "is one of Ralph Lauren's enduring silhouettes". Notably, Ralph Lauren is the official outfitter of the Wimbledon Championships, where the Princess is royal patron.
While Catherine's forest green version isn't currently available to buy, the identical jacket in navy retails for £2,950 – a far cry from the Zara tailoring the Princess often wears. The rest of her look continued this upscale theme – she accessorised with diamond hoop earrings by Kiki McDonough, Gianvito Rossi shoes and an Anya Hindmarch handbag.

Another key element of the Princess's outfit was a striped top, a design that she has become synonymous with ever since joining the Royal family. Catherine, who is known as the ******* ss of Rothesay in Scotland, has worn Breton tops for polo matches and relaxed family engagements as well as in difficult moments, such as the video she released telling the world she had cancer in 2023. The design also reflects the sporty Hamptons aesthetic of Ralph Lauren.

Is Uli Hoeneß mellowing in his old age? Say it ain't so! After months of pushing for sales, the Bayern Munich legend is relieving board member for sport Max Eberl of that pressure. While Hoeneß wants to see a few sales, it is no longer a requirement for Eberl to keep his job.
"If we can now manage to move one or two players on — which is what we'd ideally like to do — that would be great. But I also want to make one thing absolutely clear: a contract with Bayern Munich is sacrosanct. That means if, in the end, no suitable solution is found, we'll keep the players," Hoeneß said.
This is pretty significant as Bayern Munich has three pretty expensive surplus players on the roster at the moment. Per Capology, João Palhinha (€12,000,000 total pay package), Bryan Zaragoza (€8,490,000 total pay package), and Sacha Boey (€4,340,000 total pay package) all carry significant financial burdens without much hope for playing time.
Another big candidate for sale is Hiroki Itō (€4,700,000 total pay package), but as the squad's fourth center-back, he — at least — has a role that would be needed and a pay package commensurate with his role.
No doubt, Eberl will still try to unload those aforementioned players (and maybe a few youngsters as well), but not feeling like he will lose his job if he cannot move those players is like a big relief.
