'Lonely' Prince Harry in California has only bodyguards for company
Prince Harry may be living in a $14 million Italian-style mansion in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, but life behind closed doors is reportedly far from perfect for the Duke of Sussex. According to NewsNation, which cited unnamed sources close to the royal, Prince Harry is feeling 'desperately lonely,' cut off from long-time friends and family, and struggling to form close relationships in the US. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for polo star Nacho Figueras, and Nacho travels constantly for matches," a friend told the outlet. 'He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards." Though Harry remains close to a few old friends from the UK, such as Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer, the time difference and distance have made regular contact difficult. 'There's no one else for him to hang out with besides Nacho, Meghan, and the children," the source added. The report also said that since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Harry's social circle has grown smaller. 'It's hard to forge deep friendships when you're older especially when you're wary of people leaking things to the press," one insider noted. A friend even compared Harry's current situation to that of his great-great-uncle Edward VIII, who gave up the throne for love and lived abroad. 'It's like history is repeating itself," the friend said. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle reportedly wishes Harry could move on. 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together,' a source told *People* magazine. Prince Harry's Life in California Compared to Edward VIII's Exile Prince Harry's current situation is drawing comparisons to that of his great-great-uncle, Edward VIII, who abdicated the British throne to marry Wallis Simpson and spent the rest of his life abroad, largely distanced from the royal family. A source told NewsNation, 'It's like history is repeating itself,' referring to Harry's estrangement from King Charles and Prince William and his life away from royal duties in the United States. However, unlike Edward and Wallis, Harry and Meghan have remained in the public eye through media projects, including Netflix shows, books, and public appearances. The Duke of Sussex is said to be struggling with loneliness, having left behind most of his social circle in the UK. Though still close to long-time friends like Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer—who also have American wives—they are based in Texas and Virginia, making regular meetings rare. 'It's harder to forge deep friendships with people when you're older, especially if you're wary they may speak to the press,' a friend was quoted as saying. Harry is also reportedly upset about delays in securing British passports for his children, Archie and Lilibet. According to reports, he even sought advice from his uncle, Earl Spencer, about possibly adopting his late mother Princess Diana's surname. While he ultimately did not go with 'Spencer', the Sussexes are said to have dropped 'Mountbatten-Windsor' and now quietly use 'Sussex' as their family name. A source told People magazine, 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together.'

Enzo Staiola: Beloved child star of the classic ‘Bicycle Thieves', passes away at 85
Enzo Staiola, who captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with his stunning performance as a child in 's 1948 masterpiece 'Bicycle Thieves', has passed away at the age of 85. Italian daily La Repubblica confirmed the news, though the cause of death has not been disclosed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now At just nine years old, Staiola portrayed Bruno Ricci — the wide-eyed son of a man desperately searching post-war Rome for a stolen bicycle that represents his only means of livelihood. An accidental star Born in Rome on November 15, 1939, Staiola's path to stardom was anything but conventional. His natural presence on screen and expressive performance helped turn 'Bicycle Thieves' into a global landmark of Italian neorealism, ultimately earning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. 'Mission Impossible' Director Mcquarrie Reveals Tom Cruise's Dangerous Habit | Deets Inside A quiet life beyond the spotlight While 'Bicycle Thieves' brought Staiola international recognition, he never reunited with De Sica. He went on to act in several films during the 1950s, including 'Hearts Without Borders', 'Vulcano', 'Guilt Is Not Mine', and 'A Tale of Five Women'. He also appeared alongside Hollywood icons Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner in 'The Barefoot Contessa' (1954), and had a brief role in 'The Girl in the Yellow Pyjamas' (1977). Enzo Staiola's last performance was in the movie 'The Pajama Girl Case' which was released in the year 1978. Choosing a life beyond acting Despite his early fame, Staiola stepped away from acting and embraced a quieter, more grounded life. He worked as a mathematics teacher and later served as a land registry clerk — a humble career far removed from the glamour of cinema, yet one that he embraced with dignity. His legacy, however, will forever live on in the tear-streaked eyes of 'Bicycle Thieves' iconic Bruno Ricci.

Moreover, there are some lip-smacking deals available for ice cream lovers in the United States to celebrate this popular occasion. National Ice Cream Day is celebrated every year on June 7. This time it falls on a weekend, which gives you all the more reason to go out and give yourself an ice cream treat, courtesy of all the amazing offers and deals out there. Chocolate ice cream deserves to have its own day, as it has been serving the dessert platters for years. Way back in 1692, an Italian cookbook featured an early recipe, and by the 1800s, it was a hit at fancy parties in Europe and America. It wasn't just for the elite forever, though. Factories like Jacob Fussell's in Baltimore, opened in 1851, made it accessible to everyone. And that iconic cone? Thank the 1904 World's Fair for popularizing it! The specific holiday started more recently. Ice cream lovers, bloggers, and maybe some clever marketers wanted to honor this iconic flavor. It wasn't just about eating (though that's fun!). It was about joy, nostalgia, and togetherness. Celebrating the decades-long finery in culinary arts, especially in the segment of frozen desserts. Supporting local ice cream parlors and dairy businesses in the United States. Encouraging people to savor life's sweet moments, forgetting all the hassles of everyday life. Promoting togetherness and harmony over a cone, cup, or even a chocolate ice cream cake. Some National Ice Cream Day 2025 offers could lie in store for you at your favorite local ice cream parlors, which you need to contact and get to know about. Meanwhile, there are some likely offers from popular outlets like Baskin-Robbins, Dairy Queen, Cold Stone Creamery, and more. To know the deals available to you in your respective US city by Baskin-Robbins, simply check their site, app, or their nearby outlets. Only last year, they were offering a $5 off $20+ orders via DoorDash/UberEats, or in-store app discounts. In a similar fashion, Dairy Queen offered free Dilly Bar or discounted Blizzard Treats for app users in 2024. Similar offers could be available this year, which need to be used or checked from the DQ Application. Meanwhile, Fowling Warehouse in Plano, Texas, is offering $5 chocolate ice cream sundaes with toppings (Oreos, M&Ms, whipped cream) until supplies run out. The offer on their site reads, "Stop in to cool off with a scoop of chocolate ice cream with your choice of toppings for $5! This offer is good until we run out of ice cream!" Meanwhile, the City Diner in San Jose, California, is offering themed chocolate ice cream specials during operating hours. In Greer, South California, The Crêperia has come up with curated chocolate-focused desserts and sundaes just for ice-cream lovers in the area.
