Prince William Makes Subtle Dig at Estrangement from Prince Harry
Royal brothers Prince William and Prince Harry show no signs of reconciling any time soon, and on a recent engagement this week, the Prince of Wales hinted at his family drama while speaking with soldiers of the Army Air Corps in Wattisham, Suffolk.
He asked a group of soldiers, 'Is the pace of life good at the moment?' and one replied it was 'a mixed bag.' William then joked, per the Daily Mail, 'Families okay? See you enough? Some of them might not want to see you that much. It's a mixed bag sometimes.'
The comment was quickly interpreted as a clear dig at his brother Harry, who recently revealed in a BBC interview that he would 'love reconciliation' with his family. 'Life is precious,' the Duke of Sussex said. 'I don't now how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.'
In his memoir Spare, Harry detailed their strained relationship, alleging his brother physically assaulted him, among other shocking revelations. In the book, Harry calls William both his "beloved brother" and his "archnemesis." He also writes that their father King Charles reportedly tried to mediate between his sons, telling them at Prince Philip's funeral, 'Please, boys, don't make my final years a misery.'
The last time Prince William and Prince Harry publicly interacted was in September 2022 shortly after Queen Elizabeth's death, when the brothers—along with their wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle—reunited to view tributes to the late queen outside Windsor Castle.

Alan Tudyk: Harry embraces his humanity in 'Resident Alien' S4

Photo courtesy of Syfy/USA Network NEW YORK, June 6 (UPI) -- A Knight's Tale and Firefly icon Alan Tudyk says he loved playing a dual role in Season 4 of Resident Alien because the Mantid who steals the appearance of his extraterrestrial character Harry is so deliciously wicked. "It was great. I wish I could play a third [character]," Tudyk, 54, joked with reporters in a recent Zoom round-table interview. "I liked being the Mantid. He was cool. i like getting to smoke cigarettes," he added. "I saw him as this appetite. He lands. He's there. He's a predator." Harry is a space alien who unexpectedly makes friends with humans in a small Colorado town before he can complete his mission to destroy the Earth. Harry is a genius, confirmed. Don't miss the season premiere of #ResidentAlien tonight, Friday at 11/10c on @USANetwork and @SYFY! USA Network (@USANetwork) June 6, 2025 Season 4, premiering Friday on Syfy and USA Network, finds the real Harry imprisoned on the moon, emotional and without his super powers, while the Mantid impersonates him and takes over his life in the Rocky Mountains. "Harry is Harry. He's a little more unsure of himself," Tudyk said. "He's open to growth. He's the alien that came to kill everybody, but he had a heart and then, this season, he definitely has a very different journey from the Mantid because he has lost his alien energy." This development brings Harry even closer to Asta (Sara Tomko), D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) and the folksy denizens of Patience, Colo. "He's human now and, so, that opened up a whole other journey for him -- not just becoming more human and looking at these other people as: 'Oh, I like these humans. They have these great qualities and some bad qualities' -- but to actually be one and now go like, 'i'm on this side of it now,' and have to come to accept that part of himself was pretty great," Tudyk said. Show-runner Chris Sheridan said part of the fun each season is having more people discover Harry's big secret. "I don't want to give away what happens as far as knowledge this season, but I will say that anytime anyone new finds out about Harry, it adds a new dynamic to the show, which is always helpful," Sheridan said. "But you also don't want to do it too quickly because there's also energy in the secret of it and people not knowing what's going on," he added. "So, it was really a great move at the end of Season 2 to have D'arcy find out because, then, you can come into Season 3 with a whole new piece of storytelling where now D'arcy is part of it all, so adding someone else to that list carries a lot of weight." Sheridan confirmed that another character will learn Harry's true identity in Season 4. "I don't want to say who or give it up, but there's a lot of moves this season," he said. "One thing you don't want to do, especially with a couple of hundred TV shows on the air is to take your time and bore people," he added. "So, we've always been very conscious of doing big setups and big payoffs and, with every episode, trying to have a lot of stuff happen, so this season is a very good example of that." Tudyk chimed in: "That's exactly what I would have said, to the word! That's how in sync we are!" The show also stars Corey Reynolds, Elizabeth Bowen, Meredith Garretson, Levi Fiehler and Gary Farmer.

Lulu insists she has always been very a 'private' person she reflects on childhood 'shame'
Lulu has always been a "very private" person. The 76-year-old singer shot to fame as a teenager in the 1960s with her now-signature song Shout but insisted that "nobody knows" who she really is because she has always been "very careful" when it comes to choosing what she reveals about herself. Speaking on BBC's The One Show, she said: "A friend of mine once said to me 'People think they know Lulu, but nobody knows you...' and I think it's partly to do with the fact that I come from a Scottish mother who said 'Don't wash your dirty linen in public!' "So I was very...I've always been very careful, very private. I'm chatty, but I keep a lot of things to myself, so now I'm talking about everything." The Eurovision star is heading out on tour across the UK in October to discuss her life, and explained that she has only decided to do so now because she comes from a generation where there was "a lot of shame" associated with talking about issues but things have since changed. She said: "This is mainly because the landscape has changed. When I was young, when my mother was young, you didn't talk [about things]. Everything was a secret, and there was a lot of shame because you didn't talk about stuff but today talk about things and I think it's healthier. Some overshare, but hopefully I won't! All the ups and downs I've had - and I've had a life, let's put it like that - I've had an amazing, amazing life but I've also had certain things in my life that I've never discussed. "When I go on stage, on my tour, I'm gonna have very special people ask questions on stage about my life, and I'm gonna reveal stuff, how I've come through certain things. "Maybe people can relate to it, and if I've managed to come through it, maybe it will help someone else. That's the way it is today and it is so much healthier."
