Prince Harry's ‘desperate' attempt at reconciliation: Offers to share his official schedule
The news that
Prince Harry
wants to reconcile with his family, at least his father, is not new. The Duke of Sussex even told the BBC that he "would love a reconciliation" with the Royal Family. However, his most recent olive branch has many confused and questioning King Charles' response.
According to the UK's Daily Mail, Prince Harry quietly extended a hand forward to the royals by offering to share his official schedule of engagements. As per the outlet, this would help ease tensions between him and his father, King Charles III, who is known to be battling an undisclosed form of cancer.
The sharing of the schedule will allow more transparency and help avoid conflicts between the engagements of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the British royal family.
Additionally, it will also squash any rumours that the estranged pair is trying to overshadow the royal family.
"Harry is now desperate," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
"While this self-serving gesture is notable, it won't do much to mitigate suspicion and caution on the royal side," Fordwich claimed. "King Charles III is now more guarded than ever, indeed somewhat traumatized by a string of betrayals."

He also noted that according to palace insiders, the king "has expressed being 'cautious and wary' regarding fearing further unsavoury leaks, (especially) private royal family gatherings being publicised yet again."
Prince William's camp is still doubtful of the younger prince, he added. "He considers any reconciliation at all as a 'grave mistake.' His senior royal courtiers are understood to be just as wary and immensely protective of the future monarch.
They only see [a reconciliation] as creating more bombshells, as well as instability."
"The only way for Harry to ever have any chance of repairing this ghastly rift is by his actions," Fordwich insisted. "Harry would have to show discretion for many years to demonstrate any respect at all for protocol, privacy, as well as the family institution."
In addition to a smooth schedule of events, Harry sharing his diary could also spark conversations about the father-son duo meeting in person again.
They met briefly last in 2024 after Buckingham Palace announced the monarch's cancer diagnosis.
While things might not get sunny immediately, royal experts state that the move can be a positive one in the long run. "This represents a gesture of goodwill," said royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams to Fox News Digital. "The Sussexes should always respect the royal calendar, where natural care is taken to avoid clashes whenever possible. … This is a practical move that will be appreciated. It appears the Sussexes are getting some good advice.

Brooke Hogan threatens legal action for spreading 'lies' in her name amid family drama following Hulk Hogan's passing
Hulk Hogan and Brooke Hogan. Image via: John Parra/ Getty Images Brooke Hogan is no longer staying quiet. In the weeks following her father Hulk Hogan 's death, the singer and reality TV alum has found herself at the center of a growing storm of rumors, misinformation, and deep-seated family tension. Now, she's had enough, and she's warning those responsible to lawyer up if the lies continue. Brooke Hogan breaks silence, calls out 'unbelievable' stories from Hulk Hogan's inner circle Brooke Hogan. Image via: Mike Coppola/ Getty Images/CMT In a raw and emotional interview on TMZ Live, Brooke Hogan unloaded her side of the story, pushing back against what she described as a campaign of false narratives spread by people from her late father's camp. She issued a bold warning saying that if they keep spinning lies about her, they should prepare to hire a lawyer as well. She sends the message to those she believes are tarnishing her name for personal gain. Brooke says she's been dealing with 'laughable' and increasingly cruel stories about her. She claims that she ghosted Hulk Hogan in Jacksonville, returned unopened gifts, and deliberately skipped his funeral. But according to her, these narratives are being pushed by people who once depended on Hulk for a paycheck and now fear what she knows. The lies, she told TMZ, 'have gotten so unbelievable it's laughable,' and it's making her mad. Brooke explained that her absence at Hulk Hogan's funeral wasn't a snub, but a decision rooted in love. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one,' she shared in a heartfelt Instagram post. Instead, she honored him in a quiet and personal way by taking her newborn twins to the beach, one of her dad's favorite places. Still, the emotional weight of the past few weeks has taken a toll. Brooke admitted that she hasn't eaten or slept in weeks, calling herself 'a nervous wreck' because she has to constantly respond to false stories. Despite removing herself from the will in hopes of avoiding a family inheritance battle, Brooke says the drama found her anyway. 'I just said, 'Take me off everything. I don't want to be a part of it.'' But as she put it bluntly, the 'sh*tshow' came knocking regardless. Brooke Hogan pushes back on toxic family patterns, calls for peace, but warns she's 'not the one to come after' Hulk Hogan and Brooke Hogan. Image via: Getty Images For Brooke, this moment is about more than inheritance or public image is about healing and walking away from a toxic cycle. Her decision to step back from both her father and mother, Linda Hogan, was driven by personal reasons. 'I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition,' she wrote on Instagram. She also expressed concerns about Hulk Hogan's final marriage to Sky Daily and her ties to Scientology. Brooke said she warned her father, citing advice from Scientology critic, Mike Rinder, but felt dismissed. 'He literally said to me… 'I guess you have to live your life and I have to live mine.'' The last time they spoke was before his wedding in September 2023, when Hulk left a 'very weird, cryptic' voicemail apologizing for something Brooke never quite understood. "'Hey, I just wanted to call and say I'm sorry for whatever I did.'" It was, heartbreakingly, the final message from her father. Now, as she mourns in her own way and raises her twins with husband Steve Oleksy, Brooke wants one thing: peace. But she won't let falsehoods go unchecked. 'Leave me and my father alone and let that poor man go to heaven. But if it continues… I'm not the one to come after,' Brooke asserted.

Piers Morgan accuses Beyonce of ‘appropriating' Marilyn Monroe in Levi's ad amid Sydney Sweeney row
After Sydney Sweeney's recent American Eagle campaign sparked debate, another ad is now making headlines - this time featuring Beyoncé. The music icon has found herself at the center of controversy over her new Levi's advertisement, which pays visual homage to Marilyn Monroe's signature 1950s glam. Beyoncé's Levi's ad campaign draws backlash from journalist Piers Morgan, calls it 'cultural appropriation'.(AP) British journalist Piers Morgan led the criticism, accusing the singer of cultural appropriation. 'Very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad,' Morgan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Marilyn reimagined - or misappropriated? The Levi's campaign shows Beyoncé styled with platinum blonde curls, winged eyeliner, and red lipstick - clearly channeling Monroe's old Hollywood aesthetic, particularly her look from films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. While some fans praised the visuals, others accused Beyoncé of stepping into a space that wasn't hers to claim - claiming that this was an attempt to 'look more white' or imitate a cultural icon from a different era and identity. Online backlash The ad drew intense reactions on social media, with comments flooding Levi's page. Some reactions were bluntly negative, like 'NO LEVI'S this looks soooo cheap' and 'Sydney Sweeney did it better. Beyoncé is culture appropriation but y'all won't admit it.' Another comment even took a direct jab at American Eagle, writing: 'HOTTEST IN THE GAME AMERICAN EAGLE COULD NEVERRR.' Morgan's tweet itself received a wave of mixed reactions, with many users pushing back against his accusation. Some dismissed his criticism as racially charged, with one commenter writing, 'Admit you hate Black people. No wonder you hate Meghan.' Others sarcastically remarked, 'Maybe you haven't heard. She identifies as 'white' now,' while one quipped, 'That's white culture, Beyoncé, and we want it back!' Also Read | Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' becomes highest-grossing country tour ever Defenders of Beyoncé argued that Marilyn Monroe is a widely celebrated pop icon - not a culture to be appropriated. 'Marilyn Monroe had blonde hair which means… Black people can't put on wigs? Is that really the argument?' asked one user. Another added, 'Emulating her aesthetic is no more 'cultural appropriation' than a British man dressing like James Dean. Beyoncé channeling Monroe is an homage - something white celebrities have done with Black icons for decades without critique. The selective outrage reeks of double standards.' Beyoncé remains chill As of now, neither Beyoncé nor Levi's have issued statements addressing the backlash. The singer has previously faced scrutiny for artistic decisions - most notably during the release of her 2022 album Renaissance - but has largely remained unapologetic in her creative direction. Whether the current campaign will be adjusted or pulled remains to be seen.
