Our values are an extension of those of our founders, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Our funding and grant support extends to individuals and organizations of all walks of life with varying political views, cultural beliefs, ideologies, and identifications. We do not discriminate. We believe change comes from building bridges. We welcome all. We do not, however, tolerate any form of hate speech, including hate-fueled symbols, language, or imagery—no matter the community it targets. For us, association with the blending of the Star of David with a swastika, is impossible to accept. Additionally, language that calls for the destruction of others, whether explicitly or implicitly, crosses a line. It is not aligned with our values: we are pro-humanity, pro-love, pro-peace, pro-equality. Out of respect for all of our partners, a responsibility to our donors, and in reflecting the values of our Principals, we make adjustments to our future funding accordingly. We remain deeply committed to our work with Muslim-led organizations and refugee support programs through The Welcome Project and relief efforts in Gaza.

In opening arguments on Monday, his legal team argued he had been “singled out” for “unjustified and inferior treatment.” Harry arrived at London’s Royal Courts of Justice around 10 a.m. local time, greeting onlookers, photographers, and TV crews with a wave before entering through a side entrance.

But in the first episode, Meghan, 43, revealed both she and Wolfe Herd shared a frightening and rare health scare. The duchess said both she and the Tinder co-founder had postpartum preeclampsia, saying the experience was "so rare and so scary." Postpartum preeclampsia occurs when you have high blood pressure and excess protein in your urine within days of childbirth, according to the Mayo Clinic .

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedNetflix is raising their rates... AGAIN, and people are somehow blaming Meghan and Harry despite Netflix signing SEVERAL multi-million dollar contracts for many years prior to signing their contract with the Sussexes. Let's dissect the ridiculousness. The Ethiopian government will reportedly be demanding that King Charles return "immoral" artifacts that have been kept in Britain since the 1868 Battle of Magdala. Per a report published by The Telegraph on Friday, Jan. 24, officials in Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa will be pushing for the return of items from the Royal Collection as well as treasures kept elsewhere in the United Kingdom, such as the British Museum. The items kept by the King are sacred to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, per the outlet, which also notes that the government in the United Kingdom will be asked to support Ethiopia's push for the items' return next year. The Ethiopian Heritage Authority will lead the move for the return of the items alongside the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, according to The Telegraph. EXCLUSIVE: The memoir of a choreography teacher who secretly taught Princess Diana to dance is to be turned into a 90-minute feature documentary. Canadian producer-distributor Sphere Media has secured rights to Anne Allan’s ‘Dancing with Diana: A Memoir‘ and will co-produce it with Alan Clements’ Glasgow-based Two Rivers Media. Sphere Abacus, the sales arm of Sphere, will shop the doc internationally. It’s early days for the project so no network or streamer is attached yet. Scottish-Canadian dancer and London City Ballet mistress Allan was the late Princess Diana’s dance teacher, and co-choreographed her ‘Uptown Girl’ routine at London’s Royal Opera House, which she surprised Prince Charles with in 1985. Allan’s memoir, which recounts the performance, was released last year.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedPrince Harry will get his long-awaited day in court against Rupert Murdoch’s British tabloids on Monday, as his lawsuit against News Group Newspapers for unlawful gathering of private information finally goes on trial in London. Harry is one of only two plaintiffs left from an original group of about 40; the rest, including the actor Hugh Grant, have settled with News Group. The other plaintiff, who is also scheduled to take the stand, is Tom Watson, a former deputy leader of the Labour Party, who alleges that News Group hacked his phone and targeted him for political reasons. Vanity Fair’s latest article about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle follows a familiar pattern from the British tabloid playbook. As Harry’s court case against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers over unlawful practices gains traction, articles like Vanity Fair’s conveniently surface to distract and discredit. Instead of acknowledging the Sussexes’ positive impact, like Meghan’s community work or Harry’s advocacy for veterans, Vanity Fair recycles baseless claims. This isn’t a coincidence. The timing aligns with a strategy to undermine Harry’s fight for media accountability while overshadowing the Sussexes’ accomplishments. By dissecting the motives and tactics behind that article, we can expose how it serves as a distraction from the media’s unethical behavior and a weapon in a larger smear campaign. Watching Meghan’s many critics rage-post about fairly standard elements — like the show reportedly being filmed in a rented property not far from the Sussexes’ actual home — it’s clear that most of them were always going to hate the show. But this rebrand as the duchess of domesticity is a very shrewd move for Meghan nonetheless. The show’s concept appears to combine the fantasy of Meghan as a princess in exile while reactivating parts of her pre-royal public persona, when she ran her own lifestyle website, The Tig. With so many eyes on Meghan, she might finally be allowed to change — and more crucially, sell a different narrative about herself.
