Don't bash Meghan Markle for ‘bizarre and vulgar' twerking – I did worse while I was pregnant
The famously private Duchess of Sussex has posted a four-year-old video of herself twerking in a hospital delivery suite in the hope of inducing the birth of her daughter, Princess Lilibet.
The clip, which was shared on Instagram to mark Lilibet's birthday last week, shows the then heavily pregnant duchess in 2021 gyrating seductively and dropping low in squat-like positions to the viral hit 'The Baby Momma Dance' next to a hospital bed, while Prince Harry, dressed in a hoodie, does some dad-dancing.

Rolling Stones members pay tribute following death of Beach Boys' Brian Wilson
Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three musical brothers who formed the American rock band in 1961, alongside their cousin Mike Love and school friend Al Jardine. Wood, 78, who has played guitar in the Rolling Stones and rock band Faces, said his world was 'in mourning' amid a week which has also seen the death of US musician Sly Stone. A post shared by Ronnie Wood (@ronniewood) On Wednesday, Wilson's family said in a statement to his website: 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving.' The statement finished 'Love & Mercy', a reference to one of Wilson's songs as well as a film about him starring John Cusack. Wood said in a social media post: 'Oh no Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in one week – my world is in mourning, so sad.' His message was punctuated with praying hands and heart emojis, and featured pictures of Wilson and American funk singer Stone, real name Sylvester Stewart, who died on Monday, also aged 82. A post shared by Keith Richards (@officialkeef) Richards posted an extract of his 2010 memoir, Life, about Wilson on Instagram with the caption 'Rest in Peace!'. In the excerpt, Richards, 81, recalls hearing The Beach Boys for the first time on the radio, and his reaction to their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The extract reads: 'When we first got to American and to LA, there was a lot of Beach Boys on the radio, which was pretty funny to us – it was before Pet Sounds – it was hot rod songs and surfing songs, pretty lousily played, familiar Chuck Berry licks going on… 'It was later on, listening to Pet Sounds, well, it's a little bit overproduced for me, but Brian Wilson had something.' We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy — Brian Wilson (@BrianWilsonLive) June 11, 2025 Cusack, 58, who played Wilson in a 2014 biopic, said in a post: 'The maestro has passed — the man was a open heart with two legs — with an ear that heard the angels. Quite literally. Love and Mercy for you and yours tonight. RIP Brian.' Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood added: 'Anyone with a musical bone in their body must be grateful for Brian Wilson's genius magical touch!! 'And greatly saddened of this major worldly loss!! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.' Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, also paid tribute in a heartfelt post to X where he described Wilson as 'our American Mozart'. Wilson's band, known for their vocal harmonies, signed with Capitol Records in 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. In the group Wilson played bass while his brother Dennis was the drummer and Carl played lead guitar. Their debut single, Surfin', became a minor hit upon its release in 1961, but was nothing compared with the success that followed from their second studio album, Surfin' USA, released in 1963. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They released their most recognised album, Pet Sounds, in May 1966 which included the popular songs Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows. Other studio albums including The Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (Summer Nights!!), both released in 1965, also performed well in the charts. In the later half of the 1960s and into the 1970s they had success upon releasing greatest hits albums including 20 Golden Greats, which peaked at number one in the UK albums chart in 1976. Wilson married singer Marilyn Rovell in 1964 and the couple welcomed daughters Carnie and Wendy, whom he became estranged from following their divorce. He later reconciled with them and they sang together on the 1997 album The Wilsons, which was also the name of a music group formed by Carnie and Wendy following the break-up of pop vocal group Wilson Phillips. Wilson, who had dealt with mental health and drug problems, got his life back on track in the 1990s and married talent manager Melinda Ledbetter. When Ledbetter died last year, Wilson said their five children, Daria, Delanie, Dylan, Dash and Dakota, were 'in tears'. 'She (Ledbetter) was my saviour. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career. She encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor,' he said in a statement. Wilson was also embroiled in multiple lawsuits some of which followed from the release of his 1991 autobiography, Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. Their biggest hits included California Girls, Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations, the latter of which topped the UK's singles chart. In 2012, following the 50th anniversary of the Beach Boys being founded, Wilson took to the road with Love, Jardine and others for a tour. Wilson's brother Dennis died in 1983 while Carl died in 1998.

Chaos hits Love Island with Hideaway passion, couple swap and liar caught out
It was all kicking off on Love Island 2025 on Wednesday, with multiple couples swapping it seemed, hidden kisses, two Islanders caught up in a lie and two visits to the Hideaway There was plenty of drama on Love Island on Wednesday night, with two Islanders sharing a secret kiss, while other cast members got to know people outside of their pairing. It looked as though there was some couple swapping on the cards, while there were also two visits to the steamy Hideaway where Islanders tend to give into passion. We saw one pairing who are not currently a couple making a secret visit with another planned. We then saw two others, again not paired up, sharing a steamy smooch in the private bedroom. That wasn't all though as a row sparked a split, leading to one girl grafting hard and one boy being rather awkwardly rejected. There was also a "lie", as two islanders shared different versions of the same events and it risked tearing apart a couple it involved. As the two Islanders caught up in it confronted each other, another Islander took the moment to get to know someone else behind their backs. It's save to say the latest episode was the most chaotic yet of the series, while we are barely a week in. As Toni and Ben clash, leading to them calling it a day, both Islanders graft with other cast members looking for a new connection. Toni was seen telling Conor she thinks he's hot, while not long after she told Dejon she had her eye on him. he told her getting to know people is what they're here to do so should Meg be worried? As for Ben, it didn't go to plan for him when his first thought was to go running back to Shakira. She wasn't interested amid her partnering up with Harry, telling Ben it's Harry she's keen on but she is still happy to chat with him and get to know him. Another male soon made a play for Shakira as Blu pulled her for a flirty chat, while Shakira was initially unaware that Harry had snuck off to the Hideaway with co-star Helena. They joked about waiting until everyone was asleep before revisiting the room for some fun. Harry couldn't take the "lying" though, telling Shakira about their chats leaving her stunned but almost impressed by Helena saying "fair play". With the double bombshell arrival came a game of dares though, with Islanders getting steamy with people they're not paired up with, and a moment during the proceedings left Shakira annoyed. She was told that Harry had his hands on both hers and Helena's legs during the game after the lap dance. He denied this claiming that's not how he remembered it, but it clearly rattled Shakira. Not only that but Harry whispered to Helena about the Hideaway when she was right there. He was also visibly furious when Ben kissed Shakira during the dares. With Harry later questioning the claim about the lapdance and asking Helena what she said and why, things got a little awkward as Shakira told him off. As for Shakira, she snuck off to the Hideaway with Blu and they shared a secret kiss behind Harry's back.

Love Island fans can't believe the age gap between Shakira and Harry as they can't keep their hands off each other
LOVE Island fans are stunned after realising the age gap between Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley. In tonight's episode of Love Island, things continued to heat up between model Shakira and semi-professional footballer Harry. 2 Shakira and Harry got close in tonight's episode Credit: Eroteme 2 But fans had a strong reaction after realising the age gap between them Credit: Eroteme But as they explored their potential romance, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the fact Shakira is 22 while Harry is 30. One wrote: 'Shakira is 22??? Get her away from Harry and his 30 year old ass immediately!!' Someone else said: 'I just deeped the age gap with Shakira and Harry…' And another commented: 'Harry and Shakira look good together but he is 30.' But the age gap doesn't seem to be an issue for Harry and Shakira, who made their attraction to each other very clear. Last night Harry found himself caught up in the brutal first dumping of the series. During the first recoupling, Shakira picked Harry - meaning Sophie Lee was left single and immediately sent packing. But fans are convinced that Shakira isn't into Harry and actually has her eye on Blu Chegini. Many insisted that she only picked Harry so her pal Helena Ford wouldn't be sent home. One fan wrote: 'Shakira well wanted to pick Conor but didn't wanna send Helena home and for that I kinda respect it. First person dumped from Love Island revealed 'But also she'd suit Conor well better.' Another viewer added: 'No way she picked Harry for any reason other than she wanted the other women to stay… I simply don't believe it.'
