I never thought I’d say this, but it’s time to bring Prince Harry home

Image
These days, even Tories like myself are finding it hard to defend the hereditary principle.  Personally, I have no taste for republicanism, due to my incapacity for envy. That emotion or weakness is quite absent from my makeup. In the face of other people’s good fortune, I am as inert as a deaf person at a recital.  But a Starmer government will find the fact that the Royal family has more money and more privilege than the rest of us interesting. I increasingly feel that the future of the Royal family may depend on its ability to cheer the public, and what it lacks now is the requisite joyfulness.  The King and the Princess of Wales are effectively hors de combat, poor Camilla is 76, life bears heavily on William, and no one fancies a Pizza Express. The Windsors are in grave need of some pizazz. Readers may succumb to the screaming abdabs, but the royal left standing who has most star power is Harry.  It is easy to blame him and his puerile book for the conti...

VIDEO: How Meghan Markle Paid Tribute to Princess Diana With Her Necklace in Nigeria

Image
Meghan Markle found a sweet yet subtle way to honor Princess Diana during her and Prince Harry's Nigerian tour.  Over the weekend, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a reception for military families in Abuja, and for the occasion, Meghan wore a stunning white column dress by St. Agni with a strapless silhouette that showed off her necklace, which came from her late mother-in-law's jewelry box.  Wearing a diamond cross dangling from a gold chain, Markle's necklace was a "recent gift" from Harry and once belonged to Diana, according to People. The former Suits star swept her hair up in a bun with face-framing pieces and accessorized simply, allowing the pendant to take center stage.  Meanwhile, Harry coordinated with his wife in a cream-colored linen suit with a white button-down underneath. This wasn't the only sartorial nod Markle gave to Princess Diana on the couple's trip.  For their first day in Nigeria, she paired her peach maxi dress with a...

Isiah Thomas Disrespected Larry Bird but Eventually Paid Him the Ultimate Compliment

Image
During the 1980s and 1990s, some legendary NBA players hit the hardwood. That led to some fierce rivalries — only one team can win the title each year, after all — plenty of verbal warfare.  VIDEO Isiah Thomas and his “Bad Boy” Detroit Pistons understood that reality better than most. In 1987, for example, Dennis Rodman made headlines by asserting that Larry Bird was overrated because of his race. Thomas then appeared to agree with that claim, although the guard later insisted he was only joking... READ MORE>>>

"I think you made a mistake" - Isiah Thomas personally tells Larry Bird he was wrong about firing him as Pacers coach

Image
When Larry Bird was appointed as the Indiana Pacers president of basketball operations, one of the first things he did was fire Isiah Thomas from his job as the team's head coach and bring in Rick Carlisle.  For obvious reasons, it was an unforgettable moment for Zeke, and in fact, Thomas still vividly recalls how "Larry Legend" nonchalantly laid him off.  Thomas has told this story a couple of times in the past, but the first time he talked about it in front of Bird was during an interview on the NBA on TNT segment...

Image
Despite the allegations Prince Harry made in Spare, a source says King Charles wants his son back to the family.  It is almost insulting to ask, 'When are they going to kiss and make up?' " Lacey says of the strain that separates Prince Harry and Meghan  from some other members of the royal family. KING CHARLES MISSES PRINCE HARRY AND WANTS HIM BACK TO THE ROYAL FAMILY   Though the royal family has made no statement following the release of Harry's bombshell memoir Spare, a source close to the royal household tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story that the new British monarch wants his younger son to attend the May 6 ceremony at Westminster Abbey.  "It is such a momentous occasion for Charles, and he would want his son to be at the coronation to witness it. He would like to have Harry back in the family," the source says. "If they don't sort it out, it will always be part of the King's reign and how he hasa left his family disjointed.  WATCH...
