The Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched six legal cases between September 2019 and November 2020 before a brief period when no new actions were initiated. All that changed in June 2021, when Prince Harry visited the U.K. to unveil a statue to his mother Princess Diana at Kensington Palace on July 1. The Home Office had not provided him with police protection during the trip, leading to Harry initiating the early stages of a judicial review, suing the British Government, in September....

In a Zoom call with Nobel prize laureate and activist for female education Malala Yousafzai, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told how they have been “fortunate” to be able to “watch him grow.” Meghan said they might have been pulled away by work and travel had they not been forced to stay home due to the pandemic. The prince said: “We were both there for Archie’s first steps, his first run, his first fall, everything....

The Duchess of Sussex was handed victory at the end of a two-year saga that at one stage left her fearing she would lose her pregnancy with second child Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. The appeal hearing also saw her forced to apologize for misleading the court over her co-operation with the authors of biography Finding Freedom. The case revolved around a letter she sent her father asking him to stop talking to the media, which was published by The Mail on Sunday in February 2019....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced on Sunday their baby is called Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. The choice was a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, whose royal family nickname is Lilibet, and Prince Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, a spokesperson said. However, within 45 minutes of the announcement, Daily Telegraph writer Julie Burchill sparked a racism backlash with a post on Twitter. She wrote: “What a missed opportunity. They could have called it Georgina Floydina!...

David Emanuel, one half of the design team that created a number of Diana’s most iconic dresses throughout the 1980s, recently provided his assessment of William and Harry’s relationship and how the princess would have responded, on the 25th anniversary of her death on August 31. Speaking to GB News host Dan Wootton, Emanuel, who recently hosted TLC’s Say Yes To The Dress U.K., said that the anniversary had been “a day of reflection,” and that it had been “lovely to see people putting flowers down and remembering” Diana who he called an “icon of empathy....

The Duchess of Sussex said she was “heartbroken and reflective” after dog behaviorist Oli Juste’s death on January 15—and said that his legacy would be the lesson that dogs need love. Juste helped her beagle, named Guy, after a “debilitating accident” at the time she moved to the U.K. and also put her in touch with dogs charity the Mayhew, which she became patron of in 2019. To pay tribute to the animal expert she sent an open letter to the organization, which also confirmed her time as royal patron has come to an end....

The Prince of Wales stepped in at Meghan’s May 2018 royal wedding to Prince Harry after her own father, Thomas Markle, pulled out with heart problems. And it has now emerged the touching moment is immortalized in a photograph out on display at Prince Charles’ Clarence House home, in London. The move comes despite significant tensions between Harry and his father following the Oprah Winfrey interview, in March, 2021....

Ragland, 66, appears in a sit-down interview in the second episode of Harry & Meghan, released on Thursday, telling interviewers that she is “ready to have my voice heard.” When asked to introduce herself, Ragland told viewers: “My name is Doria and I am Meghan’s mom, and the last five years has been challenging, yeah. I’m ready to have my voice heard, that’s for sure. A little bit of my experience you know, as her mom....

The Duchess of Sussex has recalled several times, including during a United Nations speech, how she successfully campaigned, aged 11, for Procter & Gamble (P&G) to change a sexist dish soap commercial. The ad’s narrator said “women are fighting greasy pots and pans with Ivory Clear” but the voice over was later changed from “women” to “people” after Meghan wrote in to complain, according to old footage from Nick News....

The Duchess of Sussex discussed being biracial with Mariah Carey on her Archetypes podcast for Spotify and said “things really shifted” after she became a part of royal life. Meghan told Carey: “I think for us it’s so different because we’re light-skinned. You’re not treated as a black woman, you’re not treated as a white woman. You sort of fit in between. “If there’s any time in my life that it’s been more focused on my race it’s only once I started dating my husband....

Just a little extra damage in a game when the Toronto Blue Jays hammered the Boston Red Sox. Your browser does not support iframes. Cabrera homered from both sides of the plate and drove in five runs, R.A. Dickey pitched three-hit ball for seven innings and the Blue Jays won 14-1 on Monday night. “He didn’t know” his three-run homer in a nine-run sixth inning had cracked the windshield, Cabrera said through a translator....

Ben is not the only member of the Kurtzman family dealing with what his mother calls “the other kind.” His older brother, Van (Adrian Brody), becomes obsessed with a rich, blond shiksa goddess (Carolyn Murphy). Their father, Nate (Joe Mantegna), who always drives this year’s Cadillac, doesn’t buy it with the money he makes at his dying vaudeville theater but by running numbers. When a small-time drug dealer named Little Melvin (Orlando Jones) wins 100 grand on a number–more than Nate has–Kurtzman has to play dirty to stay afloat, with unexpected consequences for his family....

France international Mendy joined Pep Guardiola’s Premier League leaders from Monaco last July for a reported £52 million but, after a bright start at the Etihad Stadium, suffered a serious knee injury in September. The 23-year-old left-back initially set the Champions League semi-finals, which begin on April 24, as a realistic date for his return. But in quotes reported on City’s website on Friday, Mendy indicated he could be back in action for City’s clash with cross-town rivals United three weeks earlier....

What Is the Meniscus? Three bones come together to form your knee joint: the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and patella (kneecap). Between the femoral and tibial components of the knee, there are two wedge-shaped pieces of cartilage—each one is called a meniscus. Each tough and rubbery meniscus serves to cushion the knee joint and stabilize it. Overview of Meniscal Tears A meniscus can tear. Often, a meniscal tear occurs suddenly during athletic activity....

According to the World Health Organization, “depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions.” Effective treatment remains elusive. The National Institute of Mental Health reported that an estimated one in four adults 18 years and older, or 26 percent of Americans, suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder each year....

The word “came immediately to the fore as we examined the data that determines what our Word of the Year will be,” Merriam-Webster said in its announcement on Monday. “That probably isn’t a big shock,” Peter Sokolowski, editor at large for Merriam-Webster, told The Associated Press. “Often the big news story has a technical word that’s associated with it and in this case, the word pandemic is not just technical but has become general....

Common Causes The most common cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure (either via inhalation or ingestion). Development of mesothelioma usually occurs many years after exposure, often decades, and tracing it back may prove difficult. Other more rare factors that may contribute to its development include exposure to erionite (a non-asbestos mineral fiber), radiation, or possibly simian virus SV-40. Finally, an inherited genetic susceptibility to negatively reacting to certain mineral fibers may also predispose a person to developing mesothelioma....

Hosts PSV put up more than a fight, hitting the woodwork three times and creating several more chances, but Messi was the difference between the two teams, driving the Catalans to a 2-1 victory at the Philips Stadium. In his first outing as Barca’s new captain, the Argentine star, hurt by Real Madrid’s dominance in the Champions League, delivered a rousing speech at the start of the season in which he stated his team’s primary goal was to reclaim the trophy, and he is seemingly on a one-man mission to make that happen....
