Meghan Markle reveals the one thing she wishes she could change about her ‘public narrative'
Meghan Markle has expressed her dissatisfaction with how she is perceived by the public. The Duchess of Sussex, who recently concluded the first season of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, is set to appear on Emma Grede's Aspire With Emma Grede podcast on Tuesday. In a preview clip, Meghan reflects on how her public perception has shifted, saying it has become 'very different' from what it was during her acting career. The Good American CEO asked the royal what she would do if she could change her image. 'I want to say this to you in the best way, because I wonder: If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything that you would do differently?' she asked her. 'Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth,' the Duchess replied. During the episode, Meghan will also be addressing her viral video she recorded from the delivery room before her daughter Princess Lilibet's birth. She posted the video on Instagram on June 4, in honor of Lilbet's birthday. 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work — there was only one thing left to do!' she captioned the post. 'You have to be authentic,' Meghan told Grede in a clip of the podcast shared with People. 'Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance?' 'We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday, and I was like, is that, is that her?' Grede replied. 'Is that Prince Harry there with the fingers…I was like, okay…good on Harry, let's go. But that's you, right? Like that's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before.' 'And I did like a little secret cheer, 'cause I was like, well, that's what I kind of want to see from you. Like I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that 'I don't give a f***' kind of thing,' she continued. Meghan reiterated how old the video was, telling Grede, 'That was four years ago.' 'So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life — a real, authentic, fun life — that's happening behind the scenes.' She added, 'I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.' The full episode of 'Confessions of a Female Founder' will be available to listeners on Tuesday.

Kelly Stafford Argues She's a Better Mom After Taking a Weed Gummy — But Feels ‘Guilty'
Kelly Stafford is convinced taking weed gummies has improved her parenting — but sometimes she feels bad about eating one. 'Gummies are great,' Stafford, 36, declared on the Monday, June 16, episode of her and Hank Winchester's 'The Morning After' podcast. 'Sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent. They calm me down.' Kelly, who shares four daughters with husband Matthew Stafford, noted, 'It's like the glass of wine.' Her guest Kit Hoover couldn't agree more, explaining that she calls it 'the glass of patience' because 'by the time you get to bed and bath, it makes you a better parent.' Kelly Stafford Says Her 'Timeout' Podcast Is 'Literally Thanks to Taylor Swift' Kelly, who ate half a gummy toward the end of the podcast episode, thanked Hoover, 54, for her openness and support. 'I feel a little guilty saying it and it's not like I do it every night,' Kelly confessed. 'Sometimes I'm like, 'S***, I've been a long day. I don't want to rip my hair out or their hair out, so I'm going to just top it off with a little gummy.'' Hoover, who has three grown children, told Kelly that she should give herself 'a break' and 'don't sweat that small stuff,' which is a similar message Matthew, 37, has given his wife over the years. Kelly revealed that the Los Angeles Rams quarterback constantly tells her, 'As long as they're in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there.' She explained that Matthew is 'fine' with her choice to eat a gummy every now and then. 'He also knows when I get on one it can be rough for everybody including him,' Kelly said with a laugh. Kelly Stafford Gets Real About Being Labeled a 'WAG' Throughout Marriage to Rams QB Matthew Stafford Despite feeling better when she does partake in a little recreational weed, Kelly admitted, 'I do feel a little guilt when I do that. But then we laugh. My kids and I laugh, and I feel like they're like, 'Mommy's nice tonight.'' Kelly concluded, 'Some nights I'm really mean, some nights I'm really nice. I feel like it's a good balance.' Kelly and Matthew met in college and tied the knot in April 2015. The couple welcomed their eldest daughters, twins Chandler and Sawyer, in March 2017. Their daughter Hunter followed in August 2018 and daughter Tyler was born in June 2020. As Matthew has continued to make his mark on the NFL — winning one Super Bowl with the Rams in 2022 — Kelly has made headlines for her refreshing and often controversial takes on a variety of topics, including parenting. During the June 5 episode of her podcast, Kelly confessed that she needs 'breaks' from her kids 'just like everyone else does.' She noted that she hit her breaking point after her 4-year-old daughter Tyler insisted over the past few months that she sings 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' every night at bedtime. Matthew Stafford Gives Jason Kelce Advice Before Welcoming 4th Daughter: 'Buckle Up' 'I tell myself she's not going to ask forever,' Kelly said. 'But I'm f***ing tired. It makes me so sad to say this, but even the extra 15 minutes with her, or 15 seconds, feels long. Which is a horrendous thing to say.' She added, 'I feel like a horrendous mother because she will ask me to do one simple thing before putting her down. I will do it now once every four times.' Kelly confessed, 'I need to remember she's my baby and she's still only 4 years old. I just have to be better with her. And a lot more patience. Because Matthew and I are both losing patience with that one. She just doesn't shut up.' Kelly revealed that she and Matthew had to create a 'rule' that Tyler 'couldn't talk until she ate her dinner,' because she is such a chatterbox. Kelly has previously discussed canceling — and then going forward with — her twins' birthday party after their 'attitude' soured her and Matthew on celebrating.

Trump is at a moment of choosing as Israel looks for more US help crushing Iran's nuclear program
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump in about eight hours Monday went from suggesting a nuclear deal with Iran remained 'achievable' to urging Tehran's 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut short his visit to an international summit to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team. He was expected to arrive at the White House early Tuesday at a moment of choosing in his presidency. Israel, with four days of missile strikes, has done considerable damage to Iran and believes it can now deal a permanent blow to Tehran's nuclear program — particularly if it gets a little more help from Trump. But deepening American involvement, perhaps by providing the Israelis with bunker-busting bombs to penetrate Iranian nuclear sites built deep underground or offering other direct U.S. military support, comes with enormous political risk for Trump. He appears to be gradually building the public case for more direct American involvement. 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign,' Trump posted on social media shortly before the White House announced that Trump was cutting short his visit to the Group of Seven summit in the Canadian Rockies. 'What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' Trump's shift in tone comes as the U.S. has repositioned warships and military aircraft in the region to respond if the conflict between Israel and Iran further escalates. Speculation grows that Trump may be tilting toward more direct involvement The Israelis say their offensive has eviscerated Iran's air defenses and they can now strike targets across the country at will. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Israeli bombardment will continue until Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missiles are destroyed. So far, Israel has targeted multiple Iranian nuclear program sites but has not been able to destroy Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment facility. The site is buried deep underground — and to eliminate it, Israel may need the U.S. bunker-busting bomb the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which uses its weight and sheer kinetic force to reach deeply buried targets and then explode. But Israel does not have the munition or the bomber needed to deliver it — the penetrator is currently delivered by the B-2 stealth bomber. Israel's own defenses remain largely intact in the face of Iran's retaliatory strikes, but some of Tehran's missiles are getting through and having deadly impact. The White House, soon after announcing Trump was returning to Washington, dispatched Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for a prime-time Fox News appearance as speculation grows about whether Trump could be tilting toward more direct U.S. involvement. Hegseth told Fox News' Jesse Watters that 'of course' Trump wanted to see a deal made to curb Iran's nuclear program. 'His position has not changed,' Hegseth said. 'What you're watching in real time is peace through strength and America first. Our job is to be strong. We are postured defensively in the region to be strong in pursuit of a peace deal. And we certainly hope that's what happens here.' Trump continues to push Iran to negotiate on its nuclear program Trump, meanwhile, during an exchange with reporters Monday on the sidelines of the G7, declined to say what it would take for the U.S. to get more directly involved. Instead, he continued to press Iran on negotiations over its nuclear program. 'They should talk, and they should talk immediately,' Trump said during a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He added, 'I'd say Iran is not winning this war.' To be certain, Trump in the days-old conflict has sought to restrain Netanyahu. He rejected a plan presented by Israel to the U.S. to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. The Israelis had informed the Trump administration in recent days that they had developed a credible plan to kill Khamenei. After being briefed on the plan, the White House made clear to Israeli officials that Trump was opposed to the Israelis making the move, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment on the sensitive matter and spoke on the condition of anonymity. A widening schism over Iran among Trump's MAGA supporters Trump on Monday bristled when asked about some of his MAGA faithful, including conservative pundit Tucker Carlson, who have suggested that further U.S. involvement would be a betrayal to supporters who were drawn to his promise to end U.S. involvement in expensive and endless wars. Carlson, a former Fox News host pundit, last week called Trump 'complicit in the act of war' in his subscriber newsletter. Trump took a veiled swipe at Carlson, who for years hosted a popular prime-time show for Fox News, but was ousted in 2023 amid a cascade of bad legal news for the network. 'I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying,' Trump told reporters. 'Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen.' Later, Trump took another jab at Carlson, who had spoken on Trump's behalf at the 2024 Republican National Convention. 'Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that,' IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!'' the president wrote on social media. Other prominent Trump supporters have also raised concerns about how far the president should go in backing Israel. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk are among prominent Trump World allies who have noted that voters backed Trump because he promised not to entangle the nation in foreign clashes and to be wary of expanding U.S. involvement in the Mideast conflict. He ran on a promise to quickly end the brutal wars in Gaza and Ukraine, but has struggled to find an endgame to either of those conflicts. 'No issue currently divides the right as much as foreign policy,' Kirk posted on X last week, shortly before Israel began carrying out its strikes. "I'm very concerned based on (everything) I've seen in the grassroots the last few months that this will cause a massive schism in MAGA and potentially disrupt our momentum and our insanely successful Presidency." But there are also Trump backers, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who are making the case that this is Trump's moment to deliver a decisive blow to Iran. Graham is calling for Trump to "go all-in' in backing Israel and destroying Iran's nuclear program. 'No one can say that President @realDonaldTrump has not tried to seek peace regarding Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Iran,' Graham wrote on X on Monday night. 'He has gone the extra mile and I appreciate that. However, you have to have willing partners to make peace. Iran played the same old game with the wrong guy.' ___ Associated Press writers Josh Boak, Tara Copp, Darlene Superville and Will Weissert contributed reporting. Aamer Madhani, The Associated Press
