Prince Harry Receives Unforeseen Support From A European Royal
Unanticipated commentary has come forth regarding the years-long rift between Prince Harry and his family over the weekend.
On a podcast episode, Princess Delphine of Belgium spoke on the ongoing dispute between the Royal Family in England, and the Prince and his wife Meghan Markle. She expressed sympathy towards Harry and reflected on the trauma he experienced with the loss of his mother.
'I think Harry suffered so much, and I think he was traumatised, and it's coming out now,' she commented. 'I think there's this thing with security, I think it's to do with what happened to his mother.'
This refers to the legal battle which ensued between the Prince and the British government to have his and his family's state funded security reinstated, which he lost. He spoke on this recently, stating he 'can't see a world' in which he would bring his wife and children back to the country without official protection.
'I understand the guy,' Delphine stated. 'He's just traumatized. He's doing these things, and everybody's bullying him.'
She went on to reflect that 'he's just been kind of left.' Princess Delphine of Belgium attends the military parade on the Palace Square on July 21, 2023 in Brussels, Belgium. (Photo by Patrick van Katwijk/WireImage)
Delphine herself has had an unconventional relationship with royalty, only discovering her royal family connections at 18. Years of legal battles eventually resulted in a DNA test in 2020 which confirmed she was the daughter of King Albert II of Belgium, after which she was given a royal title and began to attend public events with the family.

The tensions between Prince Harry and his family became publicly known back in 2020 after he and Markle stepped back from their royal duties. The strain between the couple and his family only increased as the Prince and Markle went on to speak out on their experiences with the family in interviews, their Netflix docuseries, and in Harry's memoir Spare.
However, recently, reports have emerged that members of Harry's and King Charles' teams have been meeting and seemingly taking the first steps to reconciliation.
'It was a good first step,' an insider commented to People . 'It is always better to be talking.

Who Wore What to Wimbledon 2025: The Courtside Styles that Commanded the Stands
Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Pictured (L-R): Mia Regan, Sienna Miller, Olivia Dean; Photo Credits: Getty Images. As Wimbledon served up its final sets, sports fans and courtside style spectators kept a watchful eye. The question of who would take home the title (of best-dressed, of course) was like a ball up in the air — between regal eyelets, high-season ginghams, and chic lapels, we observed some of the world's fiercest competitors. Highly anticipated sporting events often attract high-brow guest lists, and in the case of London's distinguished annual tennis tournament, this can mean anyone from Instagram influencers to the British Royals. This July, the centre court stands — and even the royal box — were filled by our on-screen favorites; among them were 'Spider-Men' Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield, along with my personal royal family, the Apatows — Maude, Judd, and Leslie Mann (with Iris absent). Tom Holland wears JW Anderson to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. It would hardly be a tennis match without collegiate-inspired dress, where notes of the coast meet country club polish, and looks are as clean-cut as the grass courts. To many, this means primary colors, linens, and suits sewn to perfection — but interpretations of Wimbledon's somewhat limiting dress code prove that adhering to tradition does not mean sacrificing personal flair. Just look at Tom Holland, whose breast pocket was emblazoned with a watercolor design in his standout look worn on July 8. Whether you prefer picnic-core like Olivia Rodrigo or a tailored plaid ensemble such as Cate Blanchett's, year after year, the Championships are a vision of taste. A carefully curated fusion of modern edge and traditional glamour, the event 'courts' only the classiest styles of the season. The fortnight of finesse brought championing looks, and we rallied up the best.

Princess of Wales or Princess of Wimbledon? The always-glamorous Kate Middleton clapped courtside in a butter yellow pleated midi dress by Self-Portrait. A pair of Cartier earrings glistened in the rare London sun, which seemed to shine a little brighter for Kate. Maude Apatow Maude Apatow at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. On the seventh day of the Championships, Maude Apatow mused in an eyelet frock by Ralph Lauren. The look was straight out of a Jane Austen novel — pastoral and romantic with strong silhouettes, all while bringing contemporary flair. Might this signal a resurgence of Victorian fashion? We think the Euphoria star is saying yes. Leslie Mann Leslie Mann at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Following 'suit' in a Dior ensemble, Leslie Mann donned a fitted, butter yellow blazer. A lace floor-length skirt accompanied, creating a look that's equal parts sophisticated and whimsical. The beloved mother-daughter duo — Leslie and Maude — made a case for Wimbledon wear, interpreting it as a fusion of the modern and the mannered. Daisy Edgar-Jones Daisy Edgar-Jones at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Daisy Edgar-Jones looked sophisticated and summer-ready at the Men's Singles Final, wearing a seersucker Gucci co-ord. A thin pearl necklace and a pair of oval-shaped sunglasses blended a time-honored Wimbledon staple with modern chic — a tasteful approach to the tournament. Cynthia Erivo Cynthia Erivo at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Leaning into the polka-dot resurgence is Cynthia Erivo in a sartorial style by Ralph Lauren. The actress is known for her playful yet polished outfits, and this boldly-patterned, collared mini dress is both characteristic and courtly. Olivia Dean Olivia Dean at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Butter yellow spearheaded this year's courtside attire, and with utter elegance, Olivia Dean stunned in the shade of the summer, donning an off-the-shoulder slip gown by AYM Studio. In a curated contrast, the singer outfitted the look with a brown suede bag and tortoiseshell sunglasses. Glen Powell Glen Powell at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Booked, busy, and Brunello Cucinelli — because when you secure as many roles as Glen Powell, your style becomes a symbol. The actor strutted through Day 6 in an off-white suit by the Italian label, paired with an undone button-down. Deep brown loafers and a sleek pair of Oliver Peoples frames gave the look a refined edge. Lily Collins Lily Collins at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Lily in London! Elevating the seersucker with vibrant embroidery by Stella Jean, the Emily in Paris front-runner brought character to an otherwise dependable style. Collins stepped out in a trend-savvy pair of Alaïa flats that were mesh, metallic, and Mary-Jane-coded. Cate Blanchett Cate Blanchett at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Cate brought class to the courts with a plaid suit by Giorgio Armani, a brand she's shown loyalty to throughout her career. The double-breasted, light blue co-ord was an ideal choice for the Royal Box, as were her retro aviator frames. Regal in its feel, the courtside style brought both discretion and drama. Tom Holland Tom Holland at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. 'Off-duty' is making a comeback this year, and although this might mean jeans and an untucked shirt, stars like Tom Holland are proving that the right details can bring a simple style to the nines. The actor dressed in a JW Anderson button-down with a breast pocket that impressed, alongside the discontinued Platinum Daytona Rolex wristwatch. The epitome of quiet luxury, Holland strutted in a high-fashion, premium ensemble with an air of casual cool.

Saffron Hocking arrived for Day 6 in a summer must-have by The Frankie Shop: a chic striped set of Wimbledon white and radiant red, the color pairing dominating this season's looks. Cherry red mules by Russell & Bromley tied the look together, and for an extra touch of country club cachet, a beige Antler Heritage tote dangled from her arm.

Women are having a moment with menswear — and we love Thom Browne's twee twist on the seersucker suit, as seen on Mia Regan on Day 2. The set featured a tailored blazer, a box-pleat mini skirt, and a slim necktie, with a red, white, and blue stripe detail along the skirt's inner trim. The model carried a dachshund-shaped shoulder bag, playing up the collegiate-cute.

Olivia Rodrigo & Louis Partridge Olivia Rodrigo (L) and Louis Patridge (R) at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Representing Generation Z is none other than Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Patridge — the 'it' couple that tastefully flies under the radar. Spotting the pair is somewhat rare — except for a casual appearance at Wimbledon's Royal Box — but never underwhelming. The three-time Grammy winner giggled alongside her partner in a gingham shirt dress by Ralph Lauren, with round Karen Wazen sunglasses that complemented the red in her frock. Partridge exuded a royal charm in a fitted blazer and striped necktie. Monica Barbaro & Andrew Garfield Monica Barbaro (L) and Andrew Garfield (R) at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Side-by-side in Ralph Lauren, this couple stole the show in matching ivory tones. Andrew Garfield took on tenniscore with a sweater over the shoulders and cuffed linens, and Monica Barbaro stunned in a sleek silk slip. With thin, fitted straps and a soft-draped skirt, she fused athleisure with elegance. Ramona Agruma & Rebel Wilson Ramona Agruma (L) and Rebel Wilson (R) at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Rebel Wilson posed alongside her wife, Ramona Agruma, on Day 2 of the Championships wearing a daytime frock by Temperley London and a pair of gold-studded Valentino sandals. Agruma also stunned in a look by Temperley London: a linen dress with notes of silver and an accompanying button-down. Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas Priyanka Chopra (L) and Nick Jonas (R) at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Priyanka Chopra turned heads in classic clubhouse chic. Her Ralph Lauren dress included a high neck, a folded collar, and buttons all the way down. A pair of Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses accessorized the look — simple yet effective. As for Jonas, his navy, double-breasted blazer was also the creation of Ralph Lauren; a perfect look adjacent to his wife. Jamie Redknapp & Frida Andersson Jamie Redknapp (L) and Frida Andersson (R) at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. Photo Credit: Getty Images. Ending on a high note, we have Jamie Redknapp and Frida Andersson coordinating navies from Ralph Lauren. Clearly the pioneering designer behind a number of this year's standout looks, the brand has a long lineage of tastefully connecting style and sport. Redknapp wore a monochrome suit, while Andersson donned a collared midi dress with printed bow detailing. topics: Wimbledon, style, celebrity style, Maude Apatow, Priyanka Chopra, Tom Holland, Rebel Wilson, Sienna Miller, Leslie Mann, Kate Middleton, Cynthia Erivo, featured

How access to the BBC is changing for people living in Italy
It's common for Brits living in Italy to listen to the BBC from time to time – but access to the broadcaster's content is set to change under rules due to come into force on Monday, July 21st. What does this affect? The BBC's announcement refers only to audio content – radio programmes and podcasts. The situation for accessing BBC TV content will not change – in most cases, people living outside the UK are required to subscribe to a satellite package in order to get BBC TV programmes. The BBC's iPlayer website – which offers both archived and live TV content – cannot be accessed with a non-UK IP address. What changes? The BBC Sounds app, currently used to access BBC radio programmes and podcasts, will become a UK-only service that cannot be accessed by people in another country. Listeners outside the UK will be required to use the new BBC app or the website - you will need to register (for free) to use these, and it will not save any subscribed or bookmarked content that you had set up in BBC Sounds. When does the change happen? BBC Sounds will close to listeners outside the UK on Monday, July 21st. According to the BBC, subscribers in the UK will still be able to use BBC Sounds on trips to another country "for about a month". What's available on the new BBC site and app? Not all of the BBC's audio content will be available on the new app and website, with the BBC saying this is due to rights issues. BBC Radio 4 and the BBC World Service can be streamed via the new site and app. On-demand versions of some radio stations, including Radio 1, Radio 2 and local BBC stations, will be available on the new site, while others will be excluded. Find full details for each radio station here. The new site and app also contain around 1,000 current and archived podcasts. It's worth pointing out that many BBC podcasts are also available on other platforms such as Spotify or Apple. These won't be affected by the change. Why is the BBC making these changes? Here's what they say: "BBC Studios is a commercial subsidiary of the BBC and is focused on bringing our trusted, world-class journalism and storytelling to international audiences. Earlier this year, BBC Studios launched a new audio section on BBC app (a commercial service) outside the UK. "Revenue generated by these services is returned to the BBC to support its public purpose in the UK. "As part of this announcement, we said we would close BBC Sounds outside the UK – and make it exclusively available to listeners in the UK." Can I use a VPN to watch/listen to BBC content in Italy? The BBC says that its content is only available to people in the UK, adding: "Due to rights agreements, you need to be in the UK to stream and download programmes or watch BBC TV channels on BBC iPlayer. "While we are interested in being able to allow UK licence fee payers to access BBC iPlayer when they are abroad, there are complex technical issues to resolve which we are investigating, and it will be dependent on what legislation is in effect in the UK in the future." The BBC is funded by the TV licence, which is paid for by residents of the UK. The BBC's site can be fooled by the use of a VPN (virtual private network) which hides your non-UK IP address, though the BBC itself says: "You cannot play a programme if we detect you might be using a VPN or proxy. This is because we will not be confident of your location." Some VPNs market themselves specifically as giving you access to the BBC outside the UK (which is a compliment to BBC content, when you think about it) but even these can be blocked from time to time and the BBC is always working to try and block access to VPN users.
