Prince Harry denies new book's claim that he punched Prince Andrew
Prince Harry says he never punched his problematic uncle Prince Andrew, nor did the latter make insulting remarks about Meghan Markle, despite claims being made in a new book. Author Andrew Lownie's soon-to-be released biography, 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,' details some of the more intimate elements of Prince Andrew's life, including his marriage and divorce from Sarah Ferguson, his relationships with his family and the immense scrutiny he's faced due to his connection to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Among the many claims made in the book are allegations that Andrew was left with a bloody nose after a 'heated argument' with Harry broke out during a 2013 family gathering. According to a newly published excerpt, 'punches were thrown' when anger escalated over 'something Andrew said behind Harry's back.' The book also accuses Andrew of having expressed skepticism and concern about Harry's marriage to Meghan, allegedly calling her an 'opportunist.' But according to a representative for the 40-year-old prince, 'neither of those things are true.' 'Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry,' a spokesperson said in a statement to People. Harry has long had to deny rumors about himself and his family, especially amid the tensions that grew after he and Meghan left their senior royal duties in 2020 and decamped to her native California. Despite reports that his relationship with the royal family is as strained as ever — thanks in no small part to all the dirty laundry he aired in his 2023 bestselling memoir 'Spare' — Harry insisted to the BBC in May that he 'would love reconciliation.' Prince Andrew, meanwhile, has remained largely ousted from the royals' good graces after his disastrous Epstein-focused interview with the BBC in 2019. He was allegedly cut off financially by his brother King Charles, according to another controversial biography. _____

Chappell Roan Says Her New Album Could Be Half A Decade Away
Chappell Roan isn't in any rush to follow up her Grammy‑winning debut album. Even as her latest single 'The Subway' generates plenty of excitement, the singer‑songwriter had made it clear in a new interview that her second album is still a long way off. For fans eager for a follow-up to the set that made her a star, the news may be disappointing, but Roan appears committed to taking her time. Chappell Roan Says Her Second Album Isn't Ready While some listeners see 'The Subway' as a sign that a larger project could be on the way, Roan insists otherwise. 'The second project doesn't exist,' the superstar told Vogue during a recent piece. Roan revealed out that it took her five years to finish her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and she expects a similar timeline for its follow‑up. 'I'm not that type of writer that can pump it out,' she explained. 'I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything.' Her approach contrasts sharply with the rapid‑fire release schedules of many top stars today, but she's never been one to follow the crowd. 'The Subway' Keeps Fans Listening Even without an album on the horizon, Roan is still delivering music that connects with a large crowd. 'The Subway' has already gained traction internationally since arriving only a few days ago, and it is expected to impact charts in several countries very soon. The tune could even bring her back to the top 10 on the Hot 100 if it continues to perform well. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess Released in September 2023, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess introduced Roan as one of pop's most distinctive new voices. The project's insanely catchy pop anthems and introspective ballads earned her widespread critical praise, and its slow‑burn success helped her win the Grammy for Best New Artist. The set, and several of its singles, continue to live on charts in a number of countries, so Roan may feel she still has time before fans are really ready for another full-length. Standalone Singles Continue to Showcase Her Range Since her debut album dropped, Roan has released three singles not included on the project cycle: 'Good Luck, Babe!,' 'The Giver,' and 'The Subway.' The first of that bunch remains her most famous tune, and the one that helped her break out in a major way – even though it followed a proper full-length.
