Debate over security for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has intensified, with allies calling the loss of taxpayer-funded protection unfair while officials weigh political risks and ongoing threats.

The review comes as the couple faces fresh scrutiny over their Hollywood standing, following setbacks in their Netflix deal.

Critics argue Prince Harry and Meghan’s influence may be fading, raising broader questions about their public image, professional momentum, and long-term positioning in the UK and internationally.

Prince Harry Faces Ongoing Security Dispute As Friend Condemns Decision

A close associate of Prince Harry has criticized the decision to deny him publicly funded security in the UK, calling it “spiteful” as discussions continue over whether protection should be restored for him and Meghan Markle.

The couple lost automatic police protection funded by taxpayers after stepping back from their roles as senior royals and moving to the United States.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Harry’s friend Alex Rayner, who served alongside him in Afghanistan and joined him on an expedition to the North Pole, argued that the decision does not reflect Harry’s military service.

Rayner pointed out that “Harry is a royal who’s significantly served in the Armed Forces,” and questioned why he should now be expected to cover his own security costs, especially when other royals continue to receive protection.

He also referenced the upcoming Invictus Games, set to take place in Birmingham this July, where Harry is expected to appear, asking whether adequate support is being provided for such a high-profile event. “Are we not supporting him for that?” he questioned.

Prince Harry’s Security Review Sparks Division As Officials Weigh Risks And Political Fallout

Meanwhile, government officials are reportedly divided on the issue. Members of the committee responsible for royal protection decisions, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec), are said to be weighing the risks of reinstating security.

Some civil servants, including those from the Home Office and other departments, are concerned about potential political fallout and public reaction if taxpayer-funded protection is reinstated.

Sources suggest there is an ongoing debate within the group. While security and policing experts reportedly believe protection is necessary due to credible threats, others worry about the optics and political consequences of the move. 

A detailed risk assessment is currently underway, but no final decision has been made.

The Duke Of Sussex Recently Lost A Court Case Over His Security Being Stripped

The issue follows a legal setback for Harry last year, when he lost a court case arguing he was entitled to a formal review of the risks he faces.

He later described the outcome as a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up” and expressed frustration with the role of royal officials.

Harry has since appealed for the matter to be reconsidered, writing to Shabana Mahmood to request a fresh evaluation.

A subsequent review process was approved, and he has submitted the required documentation. He is now awaiting a final determination from the committee.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Face Hollywood Doubts After Netflix Setback Raises Questions About Their Influence

The latest developments surrounding the security arrangements for Harry and Meghan come at a time when the couple is also facing renewed questions about their influence in Hollywood, with some commentators casting doubt on their long-term momentum.

Despite securing an expanded multi-year, first-look deal with Netflix through their Archewell Productions company, reports indicate that Meghan’s lifestyle project, “As Ever,” has been dropped. The move has fueled fresh questions about their ability to maintain momentum in the industry.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield argued that the situation raises concerns about consistent delivery.

She emphasized that major partnerships of this scale are “built on execution, not just vision or vibes,” particularly in a highly competitive streaming landscape.

Schofield explained that while global recognition can initially open doors, maintaining success requires a steady stream of content that connects with audiences. Without that consistency, even globally recognized names can struggle to remain competitive in a crowded streaming market.

The Sussexes Were Advised To Follow Prince William And Kate Middleton’s Playbook

Similarly, commentator Hilary Fordwich also claimed that public sentiment toward Meghan and Harry has shifted, suggesting audiences have grown tired of what she described as “grievance-driven royal content.”

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Fordwich argued that the couple is now widely seen as “separated from all things royal.”

She added that their “track record of a failed brand is as bad as their plummeting poll numbers and dreadful viewership of each of their underwhelming failed ventures.”

Media executive John McDermott, co-founder of Caloroga Shark Media and creator of the “Palace Intrigue” podcast, has a different perspective, suggesting the Sussexes could benefit from adopting a different public relations approach, similar to that of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

According to McDermott, William and Kate tend to maintain a careful balance with the media, offering brief, positive appearances, such as a quick photo op of them pulling pints, throwing darts, petting a puppy, etc., before stepping back from the spotlight. This strategy, he said, helps sustain favorable coverage without overexposure.

“For Harry and Meghan, there may be something in that. Show up, look good, keep it positive. Sometimes less really is more,” he said.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews is finding solace away from the group’s lingering cast drama.

“After everything going on the last couple weeks, this was a very much-needed escape 🙏🏼,” Mikayla, 26, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 21, sharing footage of her family’s beach vacation in California. “Think I’ll stay here forever.”

Mikayla, who primarily resides in Utah, shares four children with estranged husband Jace Terry. (The couple announced their separation on Mormon Wives season 4, which premiered on Hulu earlier this month, after attempting to navigate their intimacy issues.)

Mikayla’s vacation comes shortly after production on Mormon Wives season 5 was halted amid Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing domestic violence allegations.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast is keeping their distance from Taylor Frankie Paul following her alleged altercation with on-off ex Dakota Mortensen. “The [Mormon Wives] cast is afraid of losing more brand deals and money,” a source exclusively tells Us, claiming the group is “refusing to film” with Taylor, 31, if and when […]

“It was a decision that all of us girls came up with and agreed on,” the mom of four wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 18, addressing the production pause. “We didn’t feel comfortable filming with everything that was happening.”

Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that police were called to Taylor’s house in late February after an alleged altercation with her ex Dakota Mortensen.

Taylor, 31, was previously arrested in 2023 after getting into a physical altercation with Dakota, 33. She pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was subsequently placed on probation. Footage from the incident was leaked Thursday, March 19, in which Taylor was seen throwing chairs at Dakota in the presence of her daughter. (Taylor shares Indy, 8, and Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul, as well as Ever, 2, with Dakota.)

After the video made headlines, ABC canceled Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette days before its scheduled Sunday, March 22, premiere.

“Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security,” a spokesperson for Taylor told Us in a statement. “After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm.”

Taylor Frankie Paul is continuing to speak out after her alleged domestic altercation with ex Dakota Mortensen. “Honestly it’s been a heavy time to see the headlines, especially during this time of The Bachelorette being released,” Taylor, 31, said on the Wednesday, March 18, episode of Good Morning America. “It’s supposed to be a really […]

Dakota, who has denied any accusations against his behavior, was later granted a temporary protective order against Taylor that barred any communication between the exes and gave him sole custody of Ever until a court hearing in April.

Disney, which owns both ABC and Hulu, has not revealed the respective futures of The Bachelorette and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Taylor’s Mormon Wives costars, however, would be interested in picking up filming without their fellow MomTok creator.

“The girls know they can continue without Taylor and want to keep going,” a source exclusively told Us. “This has brought them closer in a way, and they all have been leaning on each other, checking in. They want to make it work and finish out season 5 on a high note.”

Years before Gareth Edwards‘ Godzilla reboot ushered in a new era of kaiju movies in Hollywood, a rather small-scale project served three roles: bringing monsters back into vogue, spawning a franchise, and giving one of the industry’s biggest producers a signature style. Not since Jerry Bruckheimer‘s testosterone-fueled, diesel-coated action movies of the 1990s and 2000s had a producer developed such a distinct aesthetic as J.J. Abrams did in the mid-to-late 2000s with shows such as Lost and the movie we’re talking about here. Released in 2008, it also served as a stepping stone for director Matt Reeves, who would go on to establish himself as one of the most respected mainstream filmmakers of his generation.

The movie utilized a cast of lesser-known actors, a refreshing framing device, and a hugely successful viral marketing campaign to achieve significant success both critically and commercially. The film’s arresting teaser was attached to Transformers, and that, too, without a title. The film’s title was only some time later, ahead of screenings of Beowulf, that the film’s title was revealed in a second trailer. It featured Michael Stahl-David as the protagonist, alongside Lizzy Caplan, Jessica Lucas, Mike Vogel, Odette Yustman, and T.J. Miller. It grossed more than $170 million worldwide against a reported budget of $30 million; the film’s effective marketing campaign pushed it toward a then-record $40 million opening weekend haul domestically.

Here’s How Long You Have Left To Watch the Mysterious Kaiju Movie on Paramount+

The movie we’re talking about, of course, is Cloverfield. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 78% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “A sort of Blair Witch Project crossed with Godzilla, Cloverfield is economically paced, stylistically clever, and filled with scares.” The movie inspired a standalone prequel titled 10 Cloverfield Lane, directed by Dan Trachtenberg; it grossed more than $110 million against a reported budget of $15 million. A third film, The Cloverfield Paradox, was released directly on Netflix in 2018 after a troubled production and poor internal reactions. The franchise is set to continue with a fourth film, directed by Babak Anvari. It was also revealed that A Quiet Place was initially going to be roped into the series, but that idea was axed.

You can watch Cloverfield on Paramount+ until April 1, when it will leave the paid subscription catalog along with 10 Cloverfield Lane. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Angel Previously Dating Rumors With Wendell Carter Jr.

She shared a closer look at the top in a carousel of Instagram photos. The first two pics show off her full outfit, but the last pic shows a man’s hands resting around her waist. Fans do some detective work, put two and two together, and realized that the arm belonged to Wendell. He even slid into her comment section, writing, “overly.” Before that, fans spotted him in a clip at her birthday celebration in May 2025.

Wendell previously spoke about their status during an interview with Run It Back TV in 2025. When asked if he and Angel were dating, he said, “That’s the homie. We locked in.” He also added, “That’s my girl though, y’all gon’ find out when y’all need to find out.”

Yellowstone‘s Marshals has put in a lot of work to make their cast look very different for Kayce Dutton’s spinoff than they do in real life.

Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, which aired from 2018 to 2024, originally introduced Us to Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. After the show came to an end, it was announced that the actor would be headlining his own series for CBS, which follows Kayce as he leaves “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of the U.S. Marshals while “combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”

The show debuted in March 2026 with Grimes, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green leading the cast.

“I’m my own worst critic,” Grimes told Entertainment Weekly in February 2026. “I was like, ‘If you take a poll of who people want to have a spinoff, I don’t know if Kayce would be top of that list. I think there’s other characters that they would rather see.’”

Grimes used that as motivation, adding, “So there was a fire under me. Like, it has to be good. If it’s not good, I’d rather not do it. We tried really hard to make sure that any of the original Yellowstone fans would have something to grasp onto.”

He continued: “But if you’d never seen Yellowstone, we wanted this show to make sense on its own as well. I think we accomplished that as much as we possibly could.”

Keep scrolling to see what the stars of Marshals look like in real life:

The role of Mo from Yellowstone is reprised by Mo Brings Plenty.

Gil Birmingham

Gil Birmingham is once again playing Thomas Rainwater after Yellowstone.

Tina Fey made history this weekend as the first-ever host of “Saturday Night Live UK,” and she wasted no time pointing out one key difference between the new show and its American counterpart.

The UK edition follows the same core structure as NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

However, Fey’s opening monologue offered an early glimpse into how the format is being adapted for British audiences, including one notable change that’s already generating buzz online.

Early feedback suggests that critics and viewers alike are largely viewing Fey’s debut on “SNL UK” as a success.

There has been particular appreciation for how the writers and cast navigated the difficult challenge of translating such a distinctly American format for a UK audience.

Tina Fey Leads ‘SNL UK’ Into Its Historic First Episode

Fey has been working closely with the “Saturday Night Live” franchise for nearly three decades, first joining the show in 1997 as a writer before quickly rising through the ranks.

Her journey includes several major milestones, including becoming the first female head writer in 1999.

Fey later transitioned to on-screen work in 2000 as a co-anchor on the “Weekend Update” segment, initially alongside Jimmy Fallon and later with Amy Poehler.

This role helped turn the Pennsylvania-born star into a household name.

Even after leaving the show full-time, she remained a regular presence, returning as a host on multiple occasions.

Fey was first reported as the debut host of “SNL UK” in early March, according to The Sun.

The One Thing ‘SNL UK’ Gets Away With

Because “SNL” is performed live, NBC heavily self-censors, and the only time you are likely to hear a performer drop an expletive is if it happens by accident.

In her monologue from the premiere episode of “SNL UK,” Fey suggested that the UK version operates with no such restrictions.

The comedian said this when Michael Cera joked that he had heard her say “the f-word.”

“Oh, yeah. We are allowed to swear in this version of the show,” Fey replied.

Cera then took the opportunity to test that freedom: “Sh-tbird! F-cking b-llocks!”

“I think I would use it sparingly. It feels kind of unclassy,” he added.

Tina Fey’s ‘SNL UK’ Debut Wins Over Viewers Who ‘Expected A Disaster’

Two days before Fey headlined the launch of “SNL UK,” the Financial Times raised doubts about whether the concept could work in Britain.

“Sky executives know that bringing such a revered and quintessentially American show to the UK comes with a risk, especially with sketch shows on the wane for the past two decades,” the report noted.

But by the end of the debut episode, that tone had begun to shift, with early reactions moving from skepticism to a quiet appreciation.

“It could have been a lot, lot worse,” a review in The Guardian observed. “It could have been a lot better. But it is likely to become so as the team and the audience settle in over the coming weeks.”

Fans Already Demand A Separate ‘SNL UK’ YouTube Channel

One of the most common reactions in the comments section of the YouTube video of Fey’s “SNL UK” monologue was a call for a dedicated channel for the show.

“Why does this not get its own YT channel? I don’t want all the other Sky TV content cluttering up my subscription page,” one viewer wrote.

“Please have a UK SNL YouTube,” another added, while more argued that there is already a clear audience for it.

“There are UK comedy fans who would subscribe to a ‘SNL UK’ YouTube channel, but won’t subscribe to the main Sky channel because they don’t want to be inundated with other Sky videos,” one user said.

After Tina Fey, Fans Already Know Who They Want To Host ‘SNL UK’ Next

Cera was not the only notable guest to join Fey during her “SNL UK” monologue.

Graham Norton also made an appearance and impressed fans, with many already calling for him to return as host.

“We need Graham Norton to host an episode!!” one fan wrote.

An even more enthusiastic viewer added: “I want Graham to somehow co-host every episode!”

Chappell Roan thanked her security team hours after a member allegedly made Jude Law’s 11-year-old daughter cry.

“So this is our 33rd show of the Damels tour. I do not know when I will be going on tour again, so this is hte last one — so grateful it’s here. I’m so grateful, so thank you,” Roan, 28, said on stage to a hoard of fans at her Saturday, March 21, Lollapalooza show in Brazil, per social media footage.

“And thank you to my crew and my security and my band and all the — everyone behind the scenes,” the singer continued. “This take a lot of people, so thank you.”

That same day, soccer star Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) claimed an alleged member of the “Pink Pony Club” singer’s security team accused his stepdaughter, Ada, of harassment. (Jorginho is married to Catherine Harding, who shares Ada with Law, 53.)

“I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today. My wife is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil,” the soccer star, 34, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Saturday. “This morning, my daughter woke up incredibly excited. She even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire.”

He continued, “By coincidence, they’re staying at the same hotel as this artist. During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her. And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”

According to Jorginho, a “large security guard” allegedly approached Cavelli and Ada’s table and “began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner.” He further alleged that the guard told his wife that “she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people.”

“Honestly, I don’t know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment,” he added.

The security guard allegedly threatened to “file a complaint against them with the hotel” while the young girl “was sitting there in tears.”

“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” Jorginho alleged.

Chappell Roan is setting her boundaries. The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer took to TikTok on Monday, August 19, to share her candid thoughts on fans who feel entitled to photos with her, or a hug, when they meet her in person. “If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her […]

On Sunday, March 22, Roan addressed the alleged incident via her Instagram Stories.

“I”m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child, who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan wrote. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well.”

She continued, “I did not, they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything. It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind.”

The singer went on to assure her followers that she does “not hate people who are fans of my music.”

“I do not hate children, like, that is crazy,” she continued on Sunday. “I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga appear to be better than ever.

After years of estrangement, the two TV personalities found their way back to each other in 2025.

In a new post, Teresa Giudice gushed about her new relationship with Melissa Gorga while wishing her a happy birthday.

Teresa Giudice Wishes Her ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ Co-Star Melissa Gorga A Happy Birthday After Years Of Estrangement

Giudice shared an image of herself and Gorga on her Instagram on March 21, 2026.

“Happy birthday Melissa – aka sister-in-law lol,” Giduice captioned the flick. “We’ve truly been through it all, and somehow always find our way back to each other.”

Giudice, who first joined “RHONJ” as an OG cast member in 2009, continued, “I hope your day is filled with so much happiness and love.”

The mother of four went on to explain how “grateful” she was that she and Gorga had found peace and reconciled for their family’s sake.

“… cheers to a year of growth, happiness, and rebuilding. Love you,” she finished.

Teresa Giudice And Melissa Gorga Reconcile After Feuding On ‘RHONJ’

Giudice’s post sparked genuine excitement in the Bravoverse, as former “RHONJ” cast member Jackie Goldschneider wrote, “Family first!”

Gorga wrote, “This just brought a little tear to my eye. Thank u.”

Giudice’s niece, Antonia Gorga, shared, “Awwww.”

At BravoCon 2025, the two “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars teased their reconciliation after years of feuding in front of the cameras.

“We are in a different place we than we were a couple months ago. Let’s just say that… everybody’s working on it. We’re working on it. We’re trying to move forward and we’ve, you know, hashed a lot of things out privately without all of this. And I think that’s a good thing,” Gorga said.

Melissa Gorga Was Willing To Do What It Took To Reconcile With Teresa Giudice

Gorga went on to explain how thankful she was that the family was able to reconnect before things took a turn for the worse.

“Whatever it takes to wake someone up is, you know, that’s how life goes, right? And you never want it to be a funeral or a wedding or someone in the hospital. Like, that’s not what we want. So, this was a more of a natural reason,” she said.

Gorga added that repairing their relationship was at the top of her priority list.

“We just want to fix it, and we want to get back together. And for the kids, you know, we have little kids that are, you know, teenagers too that are watching this and behavior repeats itself. And that’s never what I want to see happen,” she said.

What Led Giudice To Mend Fences With Her Family After Vowing Never To Speak To Them Again?

The reconciliation between Guidice and Gorga came as a surprise to many, given that Giudice had previously said they would never reconcile.

However, after spending time with her daughter, Gia, filming the competition series “Special Forces,” Giudice said she had a change of heart.

“Gia and I were on Special Forces. We spent a lot of time together before we went on Special Forces, and we talked a lot about a lot of things. So I want to be a good example for my children,” Giudice said.

“Be a beautiful family,” she continued. “If someone doesn’t get along, be the bigger person. Try to make it work. I’ve got to practice what I preach.”

Changes Are Coming To ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ When It Returns To The Network

Giudice and Gorga’s reconciliation also comes amid rumors that production on the next season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is scheduled to begin soon.

According to The Blast, Giudice and Gorga are rumored to return alongside their longtime family friend, Dolores Catania.

“Fans long believed it would either be Teresa or Melissa due to all of the tension and issues that arose during season 14 with them refusing to talk to one another, but Bravo ended up bringing them both back,” a source said about the reported cast. “It absolutely helps that they made up off-camera and are now getting along as a family unit. Bravo stressed during the last season that something needed to change, and the cast could not go on like this.”

Margaret Josephs, on the other hand, has reportedly been handed her pink slip, along with Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda.

While no official announcement regarding the “RHONJ” cast has been made, fans can likely expect the show’s marquee players to return.

Brenda Song and her family’s recent travel plans were affected by alleged airline drama.

“I didn’t know when you book your first class tickets six months in [advance] for your family of six for your son’s birthday, @alaskaair can just give away your seats the morning of with no warning,” Song, 37, claimed via her Instagram Stories Saturday, March 22, alleging that the airline split up the group’s seats.

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song have shared some major life experiences together. The actors and met while costarring in the film Changeland, which was released in 2019.

Culkin, 45, for his part, reposted Song’s takedown of the airline onto his Stories, adding, “Hell hath no fury like a Brenda scorned.”

Alaska Airlines addressed the incident in a statement shared with Us Weekly.

“The experience these guests had today was unacceptable and not reflective of the care we strive to deliver. We have reached out to the family to make it right,” a rep for the airline told Us. “Traveling can be stressful, especially with young children, and we pride ourselves on being a top airline for traveling families. We are deeply sorry for adding friction to the experience. We appreciate that guests have a choice in the airline they select and we take our responsibility to deliver a safe, reliable, and caring experience every single time. “

Culkin and Song have been together since 2017.

“You’re absolutely everything. You’re my champion,” Culkin gushed of the Running Point actress during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in December 2023. “You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known.”

He continued, “You’ve given me all my purpose, you’ve given me family. And after the birth of our two boys, you’ve become one of my three favorite people. You’re somewhere in there. I love you so much.”

While Culkin proposed to Song in 2022, they haven’t been in a rush to tie the knot.

“We talked about eloping,” Song told Cosmopolitan in a rare joint interview with Culkin in January 2025. “But, I was, like, ‘If we eloped, my mom would have a heart attack that she wasn’t going to be there.’”

According to Culkin, he wouldn’t dream of disappointing his future mother-in-law.

“I wouldn’t even!” the Home Alone star quipped.

Culkin first met Song in 2014 through mutual friends, soon sparking a casual fling that eventually turned into something more serious.

“I saw this person he put out there — it was a product of this armor that he’s put on to protect himself,” Song told the magazine. “I could see that that wasn’t really who he was. I could see these glimpses of this really interesting, very sensitive, very intelligent, artistic person that he doesn’t really let show.”

Soon after, Culkin realized that he was in love with Song.

“I’d never felt this way before,” he recalled. “I believed in her. I mean, I believed in people before, but I believed in her down to my bone marrow. You know what I mean? I put it behind the armor though, behind that shield.”
