Prince Harry’s upcoming return to the UK has reportedly triggered fresh tension within the Royal Family, with insiders claiming senior royals are unhappy over requests tied to Meghan Markle ahead of the visit.

The Duke of Sussex is expected to return to the country in July for the Invictus Games and WellChild Awards. Still, reports suggest he has sought assurances that Meghan will be treated respectfully if she attends, amongst other requests.

The alleged demands have reportedly frustrated several members of the monarchy, while ongoing security concerns continue to shape Prince Harry’s relationship with the UK and the royal family.

Harry’s reported plans for his UK visit are said to have caused frustration among senior members of the Royal Family, with insiders claiming tensions are rising over a “string of demands” connected to Meghan Markle ahead of the trip.

The 41-year-old duke is expected to return to Britain in July for events linked to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, as well as the annual WellChild Awards.

While it remains unclear whether Meghan, 44, will accompany him, sources claim Harry has been trying to ensure any potential visit is handled on terms that would make his wife feel welcomed and protected.

According to Sky News Australia, Harry has sought assurances from relatives that Meghan would be treated respectfully if she attends, following what he allegedly sees as difficult experiences during previous visits.

One insider claimed the prince wants to avoid situations where Meghan feels unfairly criticized or placed under intense scrutiny before any interactions even occur.

“The last thing he wants is Meghan walking into a situation where she feels judged, and he says all he’s asking is that she’s treated with basic respect and not cast as the bad guy before anything’s even happened,” the source noted.

Senior Royals Frustrated Over Prince Harry’s Demands Ahead Of UK Return

The alleged requests have not gone down well with some members of the monarchy, leaving them “outraged.”

Sources claim that several senior royals view the move as unreasonable, particularly because the discussions are once again centered around Meghan and how she will be “treated with kid gloves.”

They further noted that the situation has especially irritated the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as Queen Camilla, while King Charles is reportedly taking a more measured approach in hopes of avoiding further family conflict.

One source suggested the monarch is “clearly desperate for peace,” but risks creating resentment “if it starts looking like he’s treating Harry like a prodigal son.”

Meghan has not returned to the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022. Before that, she and Harry visited the country during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations alongside their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Prince Harry Vowed Not To Bring His Kids To The UK Until His Security Is Restored

Security remains one of Harry’s biggest concerns regarding travel to the UK, especially with his young family.

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, he has lost access to automatic taxpayer-funded police protection, something he has continued to challenge through legal channels.

In previous interviews, Harry has openly said he does not currently feel it is safe to bring Meghan and their children to the UK without stronger security arrangements in place.

He has also argued that decisions surrounding his protection remain heavily influenced by the royal institution and government authorities.

The Duke’s Security Fears Worsened After An Incident Involving His Disgraced Uncle

Reports suggest those fears have intensified following a recent incident involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor near the Sandringham Estate.

According to claims, a masked man allegedly approached Andrew while he was out walking his dogs before being arrested.

Sources say the incident deeply “horrified” Harry, reinforcing his belief that royal security risks remain serious.

“If someone can get that close to Andrew near a royal estate, then nobody is truly protected anymore,” the source told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack.

Prince Harry Insists He Will Always Be A ‘Working Royal’ Family Despite Stepping Back From Royal Duties

Harry’s alleged demands came shortly after he pushed back against suggestions that he is no longer a “working royal” during a recent interview conducted while visiting Ukraine last month.

Speaking to ITV during the April 24 trip, the Duke of Sussex was asked whether he accepted the description often used to define his role since stepping back from official royal duties in 2020.

Harry made it clear he does not see himself that way, insisting he still considers himself part of the Royal Family and believes he is continuing the work he was “born to do.”

“No. I will always be part of the royal family,” Harry said during the interview, per People Magazine.

The 41-year-old explained that he remains committed to humanitarian efforts and public service projects, adding that he values the opportunity to travel, support causes close to him, and bring attention to issues that can quickly disappear from headlines when global events shift elsewhere.

Harry also said he enjoys meeting people through these trips and feels his work still serves a meaningful purpose, despite no longer holding a senior working royal role within the monarchy.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have nothing to worry about, not on Mother’s Day.

The singer honored his wife on the special day, basically puncturing reports that his marriage with the actress was under a strain and potentially heading for the rocks.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel earlier fanned speculations of trouble in the marriage when he was arrested for driving under the influence after running a stop sign in Sag Harbor in 2024.

On Sunday, May 10, 2026, Timberlake uploaded a touching Mother’s Day post to celebrate Jessica and her wonderful exploits in their family. Despite recent reports that they were struggling, the singer described Jessica and his mother as “the greatest” women he knows.

In the first frame, he uploaded a picture of them posing with their two sons, Silas and Phineas, from behind. He also added another selfie of himself and Biel, alongside a throwback image of himself and his mother, Lynn Bomar Harless.

Timberlake’s mom popped up in the comments, acknowledging the praises from her son, “Awww! That makes me smile! Being your Mother and Si and Phin’s Grammy Lynn are the greatest joys in my life! I love you all with my whole heart and soul, and I am so blessed to have you all in my life!”

Other fans and commenters praised Harless and Biel for sticking by the pop star and helping him become an artist admired by everyone.

The Couple’s Marriage Reportedly Changed Following The Singer’s Health Issues

Biel and Timberlake’s nearly 15-year union has not been all smooth sailing, with the couple experiencing several controversies, including the Janet Jackson drama, allegations from Britney Spears’ memoir, and his 2024 DUI arrest.

However, the singer’s latest Lyme disease diagnosis has served as a saving grace in the dark times because his wife has started approaching their relationship with compassion and tons of patience. As noted by The Blast, a close source to the couple noted that the diagnosis gave Biel a deeper understanding of many of the struggles they have faced behind closed doors.

“A lot of their issues had to do with communication, and a lot of it was due to things out of his control. When Jessica learned more about it, it completely changed how she viewed his actions. Jessica became more understanding,” the source stated.

The father of two revealed that he was diagnosed with the disease in July 2025, shortly after he ended his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour.” He described his experience during the tour as fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and draining. 

The musician added that dealing with Lyme disease in the middle of it all also made it one of the most grueling periods of his life. Despite his vulnerability, Timberlake affirmed that his post is not meant to elicit sympathy from anyone but to raise awareness of the disease.

He encouraged people living around those battling Lyme disease to always approach them with kindness because it can be “relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.

The singer noted that it was not an easy decision to go public with his diagnosis, but it was necessary to help bring awareness to an issue people may misunderstand if word got out.

Jessica Biel Felt Uncomfortable About The Release Of Her Husband’s DUI Clip

The video of his encounter with the cops at Sag Harbor in 2024 surfaced on the internet on March 20, 2026, as shared by The Blast. While the release gave deeper context into the arrest, for Biel, it came at such a terrible time that it left her feeling unhappy.

An insider shared that Biel reiterated that her husband had a reason for fighting to keep the video away from public glare, and releasing it posed a stressful situation for her, which she would love to get over.

Biel reportedly got frustrated about the arrest and drama, giving the singer a timeline to turn his life around, or else their marriage may take the fall.

According to a source, the negative attention on Timberlake during that period did not come with the best feeling, coupled with the tour schedule, Biel just felt like the weight of the world was on her shoulders.

The closed source continued that the video did not portray Timberlake in a good light as it showed him undergoing a field sobriety test, getting arrested, and eventually getting booked at the police station.

Inside Justin Timberlake’s Arrest

Footage from Timberlake’s arrest for DUI revealed the singer’s reaction to being informed that he would have to stay in jail overnight. Throughout the video, Timberlake kept asking officers why he was being detained, while it appears he was misinformed about what was going on around him.

As stated by The Blast, the arresting officer also seemed to be oblivious to Timberlake’s celebrity status. The officer said even though the singer mentioned that he was on tour around the world, he still did not know who the Grammy-winning singer was.

Police booked Timberlake, and during the process, he attempted to joke about his race, although he later explained to officers that he did not intend to cause trouble with his actions. The DUI video was originally sealed when the parties concerned reached a deal, and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office even refused to make it public despite requests under the public records law.

The released video shed light on the situation that led to Timberlake’s arrest in the Hamptons, including the events that led up to the arrest. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said at the time the case was not treated differently and that he understood the need to maintain consistency in upholding the integrity of the justice system.

Congratulations to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel!

Netflix has finally decided to treat its Spanish heist franchise Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) like a living universe for good, it seems, and the latest teaser says that the show still has more to offer. The original series previously ended with Season 5, Part 2, with the surviving crew successfully stealing the gold from the Bank of Spain, faking their deaths, and escaping to new lives with new identities and passports in Portugal.

That original premise still has three seasons sitting inside Netflix’s all-time Top 10 for Non-English TV, with the platform’s engagement data from 2023 through 2025 reportedly showing 1.3 billion hours watched and around 160 million views for the main show alone. The spin-off side has already proven impressive, too. Berlin Season 1, built around Pedro Alonso’s jewel thief, opened as Netflix’s most-watched series globally in its premiere week, reached the Top 10 in 91 countries, and stayed in the Non-English Global Top 10 for seven consecutive weeks, earning 348 million hours viewed and 53 million total views. Its next installment, Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, arrives globally on May 15, 2026, shifting the franchise into a Seville-set art-theft story involving Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine, blackmail, revenge, romance, and another high-style job.

Now, Netflix has officially confirmed the Money Heist universe will continue beyond Berlin Season 2. The announcement came during a huge public stunt in Seville on May 9, with red jumpsuits, Dalí masks, a boat on the Guadalquivir River, and “Bella Ciao” blasting for the crowd. Netflix has not confirmed whether the next project is Berlin Season 3, another character spin-off, an international expansion, or a direct continuation of Money Heist, but the teaser’s gold-bar imagery clearly signals that the Professor’s world is still in play.

The Professor’s Character Is Too Big to Die Off With ‘Money Heist’

The Professor (Álvaro Morte) feels almost impossible to exclude because he is the franchise’s brain, not just one member of the gang. Not to mention, the show’s massive fanbase loves him. He also survived the original finale, so Netflix does not need a resurrection trick to bring him back in a sequel-era story. There is room behind him as well: Berlin brought a lot of backstory to Berlin himself, while Sergio’s past, training, relationships, and full evolution into the Professor were left with far more open space. That leaves Netflix two obvious routes: a prequel about how he became the architect of the heists, or a continuation where his methods, enemies, and unfinished business pull him back in. His return is unconfirmed, but the show’s continuity and his importance in the universe make these questions unavoidable.

Berlin Season 2 is all set to stream on Netflix globally on May 15, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Brooks Marks is gearing up for the second season of Next Gen NYC — and fans will be getting an inside look at his relationship with boyfriend Kade Thomas.

“I think you’ll see more about my relationship life in season 2,” Brooks, 26, told Us Weekly exclusively at the Vulture Reality Masterminds Celebration in New York City on Thursday, May 7.

Brooks has been dating Kade since 2024, but kept their relationship largely out of the public eye. Several of Brooks’ Next Gen NYC castmates are in relationships, but he hopes to be the first one with an engagement ring on his finger.

“My boyfriend isn’t really in the public, so it’s definitely a new world for him,” he shared “I love keeping that sacred but, at the end of the day, I signed up for reality TV.”

Brooks told Us on Thursday that there was some apprehension when it came to showing that side of his life on Bravo.

“It’s all about showing every aspect of our lives,” he added. “I hope that it shows other people what a great relationship can look like.”

Bravo announced on Monday, May 11, that Next Gen NYC season 2 will premiere next month with Brooke Shields’ daughter Rowan Henchy, Liam Obergfoll and Kendall White joining the cast.

When asked which newcomer makes the biggest splash, Brooks played coy telling Us that viewers will have to “tune in to find out.”

Ariana Biermann admitted she had “hesitation” over bringing now-ex boyfriend Hudson McLeroy onto Next Gen NYC — especially because of a possible breakup. “It’s a little nerve-wracking bringing somebody onto a TV show with you and putting your whole relationship out for the world to see,” Biermann, 24, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month […]

Along with Brooks, Next Gen NYC stars Ariana Biermann, Riley Burruss, Emira D’Spain, Ava Dash, Gia Giudice, Georgia McCann, Charlie Zakkour, Shai Fruchter and Hudson McLeroy are set to return.

“I’m so overwhelmed by all the support from the first [season]. I’m so grateful that we got a second season,” Brooks told Us. “The second season is absolutely insane.”

From the trailer released on Monday, it appears the second season will showcase the aftermath of Ariana and Hudson’s October 2025 split.

“I think viewers are going to be very shocked by all the twists and turns,” Brooks told Us. “I did not see them coming, and I was blindsided by a couple things. I’m excited to see the whole pan out.”

Thank You!

On a personal level, Brooks told Us that he didn’t really change anything about himself before filming season 2.

“I am still in my 20s, I’m evolving,” he explained. “I think viewers will get to see another side to me that, maybe, they didn’t see last year.”

Next Gen NYC Season 2 premieres on Bravo on Wednesday, June 24, at 9 p.m. ET/PT

If your skin is still looking a little dull after winter, there’s an easy way to fake a sun-kissed glow without booking a beach vacation. I first discovered the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Face & Body Drops when I was getting married back in 2018. I was looking for something that delivered a natural-looking tan without having to use a thick tanning mousse that I’d have to wash off hours after applying. With these tanning drops, all you have to do is mix them into your favorite moisturizer!

Unlike messy mousses or streaky sprays, these lightweight tanning drops blend seamlessly into your skincare routine. The formula is designed to create a gradual glow, meaning you can control the depth of your tan depending on how many drops you use. Plus, the dermatologist-approved formula is fragrance-free, cruelty-free and easy enough for even self-tanning beginners to master.

One of the biggest reasons shoppers love the drops is their customization. Mix one to 12 drops into moisturizer, serum or foundation, depending on your desired level of bronze. The result is a believable glow that develops gradually instead of leaving skin orange or uneven. According to the brand, the tan can last for days while helping create a smoother-looking makeup base.

The drops have become especially popular among people who want a low-maintenance alternative to traditional self-tanners. Amazon reviewers love these drops just as much as I do — “and beyond,” according to one shopper. “It looks so natural and feels so good on your skin. You don’t even know you have anything on your face. You mix it right with your moisturizer and voilà, instant tan within an hour or so.”

Another shopper shared that this is their “favorite tanning product” they’ve been using for years, while another wrote that the tan doesn’t “streak or smell or transfer.” Because there’s no heavy guide color, the drops won’t transfer onto clothing or bedding the way some self-tanners can.

If you want glowing skin before summer officially arrives, these viral tanning drops might be the easiest beauty upgrade you make all season. Just add a few drops to your moisturizer and wake up looking like you just got back from vacation!

There’s nothing like that first warm-weather day when you want your skin to look glowy, even and effortlessly sun-kissed. But between UV damage, dryness and uneven texture, getting that radiant finish isn’t always as simple as stepping into the sun. Instead, you’re often left choosing between protecting your skin and actually loving how it looks. […]

Actress Hayden Panettiere is opening up about a frightening experience she had as a teenager. During an appearance on Jay Shetty’s popular podcast, “On Purpose,” the “Bring It On” performer got candid about the time she was placed in a bed with a very famous “undressed” man on a boat. Panettiere, 36, touched on the moment in her upcoming memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” and now she’s revealing how it impacted her.

Shetty opens the conversation on his podcast by asking Panettiere about the moment her friend took her on a boat and was later led to a room with a much older man and told to perform sex acts.

Paneittere said that, looking back on the moment, she finds it appalling given how young she was. “The fact that I was 18, even though I’d lived such a huge life and I thought I was oh so mature at 18 … scientifically, your frontal lobes don’t develop until we’re what, 25, 26?” she said.

The actress explained that while she believed she was mature enough to make challenging decisions, she said, “I wasn’t capable of being fully aware of what was going on around me.”

Hayden Panettiere Says She Was Put In This Situation By Someone She Trusted

Panettiere said her mindset shifted once she realized that she was “in danger.” Before that, the mother of one called the moment “shocking,” stating that she believed she and her friends were spending the night together to celebrate.

She went on to say how badly the moment affected her, especially because she was put in the compromising position by someone close to her. “It was led by somebody that I had grown to trust and see as a protector and somebody who had my back,” she said. “When you really find somebody that you trust, you hold on to them for dear life, and you feel so lucky.

While Paneittere doesn’t reveal who the man was, the author described him as “very famous,” adding that the situation seemed like “an average day for him.”

Thankfully, Panettiere said she was able to flee the room and hide elsewhere on the vessel. “That lion in me, that fire in me … my hair stood on end and I became ferocious,” she said. “I was like, ‘This is not happening.’”

Hayden Panettiere Is Revealing Even More In Her New Memoir, Out May 19

Also in her book, Paneittere breaks her silence on her sexuality. According to a previous report from The Blast, the “Nashville” alum said that while she wishes she had spoken about it earlier, she’s fully embracing this side of herself.

“It’s sad that I had to wait till I was 36 years old to share that part of me, but better late than never, right?” she said. “I’ve chosen to share it with the world. I’m comfortable saying I’m bisexual. I’m comfortable to confidently say that, yes, I am bisexual. I said it!”

The actress admitted that living life in the spotlight influenced what information she shared with the public about herself. However, she said she had always been attracted to women.

“[I was] much more into women,” she said before revealing why she didn’t date them publicly. “I didn’t really have the courage to throw myself fully, emotionally into it,” she said. “Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn’t something that I wanted to ever have to hide.”

Panettiere Lost Her Younger Brother

Another report from The Blast details the struggles Paneittere went through after losing her brother, Jansen, at 28.

The actress said that she will always be “heartbroken” over the loss, and even shared that it triggered previous disorders to reemerge.

“He was my only sibling, and it was my job to protect him,” she said. “When I lost him, I felt like I lost half of my soul.”

The 28-year-old died from cardiomegaly, which is an enlarged heart, along with aortic valve complications.

According to Panettiere, her brother’s death prompted her agoraphobia (severe anxiety disorder) to resurface after she was followed by paparazzi.

“I had to see horrific paparazzi pictures of myself coming out of Jansen’s funeral, which happened in a very private place, and it was shocking,” she said. “It became a destructive hamster wheel of, do I feel good enough to go out?”

Panettiere Struggled With Addiction

Prior to that, Panettiere broke her silence after struggling with addiction. “I was on the top of the world, and I ruined it,” she said, adding, “I’d think I hit rock bottom, but then there’s that trap door that opens.”

Paneittere revealed that she sought help for her addiction and attended both trauma therapy and inpatient treatment between 2021 and 2022.

“I put a lot of work into myself, and I had to be willing to be incredibly honest,” she said, revealing that her recovery journey was far from easy.

“But I don’t regret even the ugliest things that have happened to me. I feel incredibly accomplished. And I feel like I have a second chance.”
