King Charles Makes Major Change to Trooping the Colour Tradition, Signaling the End of an Era
King Charles will be celebrated at Trooping the Colour on June 14—the annual birthday parade for the monarch. 2025 will mark the King's third birthday parade since taking the throne on September 8, 2022. Amid his ongoing cancer treatment, Charles will no longer ride in the parade on horseback, and will instead ride in a carriage alongside wife Queen he continues treatment for cancer following his 2024 diagnosis, King Charles will make a permanent change for Trooping the Colour, the annual birthday parade held in his honor every June. The King—who The Times noted is 'one of the royal family's most accomplished equestrians'—will no longer ride on horseback at the yearly event, with the outlet reporting he 'has hung up his riding boots.' Instead, Charles will travel in a carriage for the procession from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade and back at the event, which this year is on June 14. 'He is not expected to ride at the parade again,' the publication added. The King rode on horseback in 2023 for his first Trooping the Colour as sovereign; his mother, Queen Elizabeth, hadn't ridden on horseback since 1986, the year she turned 60 years old. Afterwards, the Queen traveled via carriage from 1987 until her last Trooping the Colour in 2022, which also doubled as her Platinum Jubilee celebrating her historic 70 years on the throne. Following his cancer diagnosis—which was announced publicly on February 5 of last year—the King rode in a carriage; this announcement makes that change permanent, it seems. Meanwhile, the King's sister Princess Anne—who turns 75 years old in August—plans to ride on horseback this year alongside Prince William. This will be the Princess Royal's first public appearance on horseback since her accident involving a horse last June that left her with a concussion and in the hospital for five days. The Telegraph reported that Charles' weekly cancer treatment—while it continues in a 'very positive direction, as reflected with the very full national and international diary program,' as the palace put it—will likely last for the remainder of his life. According to the outlet, it is understood that 'he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer,' the publication reported, with The Telegraph adding that Charles and his wife Queen Camilla are likely to never move into Buckingham Palace following the completion of its restoration in 2027. That said, there's hope that the King isn't going anywhere anytime soon—tentative planning has begun for his 80th birthday celebrations, which will take place in 2028, and there's even talk that Charles might reunite with his son Prince Harry when the Duke of Sussex travels to the U.K. for the 2027 Invictus Games, which will take place in Birmingham, England.

Lars von Trier threw water at Bryce Dallas Howard and insulted her father
Lars von Trier threw a glass of water in Bryce Dallas Howard's face and insulted her father because he wanted to see her "angry face". The 'Jurassic World' actress worked with the director on 2005 film 'Manderlay' and she revealed her first meeting with the moviemaker on the set in Norway came as a bit of a shock as she was subjected to a barrage of insults and a jibe about her director dad Ron Howard. Bryce told The Times newspaper: "He started insulting me: 'Your father's a terrible filmmaker.' I went: 'Lars, what are you trying to see?' and he said: 'Your angry face. I don't know what it looks like'." She went on to reveal von Trier then threw a glass of water in her face and Bryce responded by doing the same to him. The actress added: "So I threw a glass of water in his face. He goes: 'Why did you do that?' and got up and left. That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience." However, Bryce is adamant she wasn't upset by the encounter. She explained: "It wasn't like I went to my room and cried or anything. I was sort of delighted by it." Bryce's dad started as an actor before moving behind the camera and she hopes to do more directing in the future, but she will never give up acting completely like he did. She added: "I don't want to let go of acting as my dad has done. That would be really heartbreaking because I learn so much being on a set. I have so much fun.' Bryce is close to her filmmaker father and he recently shared a sweet tribute to her on Instagram to mark her 44th birthday earlier this year - declaring she has far exceeded the family's expectations with her huge success in the movie business. Ron wrote: "Happy Birthday, Daughter! You've always made your mom and me happy and incredibly proud. "But the scope of what you've achieved with your family and career and the future you are building exceeds our wildest hopes from back when you were this adorable kid we loved so much." It came just a day after Bryce shared her own tribute to her dad on his birthday, writing in a post on Instagram: "I love you so much Dad, more than words can say."

DDG makes serious allegations about Halle Bailey; restraining order against her denied for now
DDG has failed for now in his attempt to get a domestic violence restraining order preventing Halle Bailey from taking their son, Halo, out of the country — but not for lack of trying. The rapper, real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., made serious allegations about Bailey in a new court filing this week after she served him with a domestic violence restraining order in mid-May. DDG must keep his distance from his 'The Little Mermaid' ex and their son, who turns 2 in October. He was also ordered to refrain from contacting them in any way, including electronically. On Wednesday, when a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge was expected to consider whether to make the temporary order more permanent, the 27-year-old influencer's attorney requested that Bailey be prevented from traveling internationally with Halo, specifically to Italy, alleging there was a risk she would kidnap the child. The filing also asked that the hearing be continued to a later date. DDG's team got the later date. His attorney did not reply to The Times' request for comment. The domestic violence restraining order request, which was denied pending a hearing later this month, was supported by DDG's version of some of the same incidents his 25-year-old ex cited in her May filing, according to court documents reviewed by The Times. It includes declarations from Tonya Granberry, DDG's mother, and George Charlston, her fiancée, who is also DDG's driver, alleging they found Apple AirTags that had been hidden in the rapper's vehicles and in Halo's diaper bag, presumably by Bailey. DDG's team complained in his filing about Bailey's alleged 'emotional instability and coercive control,' her 'repeated threats of suicide and self-harm' and instances where she 'endangered the child's safety while in emotional distress.' The filing includes text exchanges in which Bailey sent myriad frantic-sounding messages, many more than DDG replied with. In one exchange, which occurred after he drove off following an argument in 2022, Bailey sent texts 'claiming she had a knife and implying she would harm herself if he did not return,' the filing says. 'YOI HATE ME AND WANT ME TO DIE!!!' she said amid a flurry of text messages in March 2024, according to the filing, following up with texts saying 'I WANT TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!!!' and 'I WILL DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!!!' In February, Bailey told DDG via text that 'everyday i want to die because of the way you embarrass me online and allow other women to speak on me,' the filing says. The two dated for two years before breaking up in October 2023; their son was born a couple of months later. Bailey allegedly 'weaponized' her pregnancy to try to persuade DDG to reconcile with her, the filing says. The court filing alleges she tried to medically abort Halo in June 2023 but didn't take the second dose of medication that would complete the task. The rapper said the singer-actor went through his phone while he was asleep, slapped and punched him during a fight over the phone, falsely claimed that he slammed her head into his car's steering wheel during a custody exchange and surveilled him by planting Apple AirTags in his vehicles. He accused her in the filing of tracking the AirTags to show up uninvited to events and studio sessions where he was, 'often resulting in confrontations.' 'During emotional outbursts,' the filing says, Bailey 'has destroyed my personal property including my laptop that contained critical music and content word' and 'stole my legally owned firearm during an argument in August of 2023 and was found outside the house in possession of it.' In March 2024, Bailey allegedly sent DDG 'a series of alarming text messages threatening to kill herself and suggesting that their infant son, Halo, might also be harmed,' the document says. 'She then proceeded to drive her vehicle — with the child in the car — while in an emotionally unhinged state. [DDG] was so disturbed by her condition that he immediately contacted [her] godmother to intervene and assist.' The filing, which includes photos of a gash in DDG's thumb that he said Bailey caused, notes that similar exchanges happened last September and October, demonstrating that Bailey's alleged 'instability is not a thing of the past, but a present and ongoing danger.' Bailey's attorney did not respond immediately to The Times' request for comment. DDG found out about Bailey's restraining order against him via a phone alert in the middle of a livestream in May — no advance notice of the request was given because Bailey, according to court documents, was afraid he would retaliate with violence or by taking Halo out of the area. In her declaration, Bailey accused DDG of 'badmouthing' her to his millions of fans on Twitch and YouTube whenever he 'wants to cause upset.' 'He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans. He goes 'live' ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him. This is false. I have requested a set schedule, which he refuses.' She also said he frequently calls her 'b—' and says she is 'evil.' She detailed one physical altercation from January of this year that ended with her bruised with a chipped tooth. Bailey was giving DDG their son and strapping him into the rapper-streamer's car when, according to her filing, she asked when the child would be returned. A verbal dispute quickly turned physical, the court document said, and he pulled her hair and slammed her face into the steering wheel. But DDG says that is false — according to his filing, she hit the steering wheel while launching herself forward from the back seat while trying to hit him. He says he attempted to 'shield himself' by holding her arms down so she couldn't keep hitting him. 'I wanted to get out of the car with Halo but was now stuck,' Bailey said in her filing. 'Darryl then said that since I would not leave the baby in the car, he would take me with them. He drove quickly towards his house. When we arrived at his house, I was crying and told his family what happened. I begged his family who were there to help me figure out a schedule with him. They said just leave Halo and go. I left hysterical.' A hearing in the case is now scheduled for July 24. On Thursday evening, DDG lamented his public status on X (formerly Twitter) and got a heaping helping of backlash in return. 'now I know how michael jackson felt being famous,' he wrote. 's— crazy.' For the most part, X users did not agree. Here's a sampling of the reactions: 'let's aim lower, ur more latoya jackson in terms of fame.' 'You are a Z lister. Stop comparing yourself to an actual talented man who had streets closed down for him and was globally recognized.' 'Everyones crazy is their own crazy. But Michael Jackson lived a life few can even imagine. Its not really the same.' 'mj performed for presidents, royalty, and broke world records. and you? you went viral on TIKTOK. oh come on man, be SERIOUS.' 'You're not famous bro ... You're just known.'
