Prince Harry Finds an Unexpected Royal Ally Amid Family Rift — He's 'Suffered So Much'
Belgium's Princess Delphine offered up her thoughts on the situation on the July 15 episode of the It's Reigning Men podcast — and it sounds like some royals are tired of King Charles III and Prince William icing the Duke of Sussex out.

'They lost such an important figure [with Princess Diana's death], and I feel very sorry for Harry because I think that was traumatic for him,' she shared. 'I think Harry suffered so much, and I think he was traumatized, and it's coming out now. I think there is this thing with security, I think it's to do with what happened to his mother.'
She wasn't done, though; Delphine empathizes with how Harry has been left to figure life out on his own.
'I understand the guy,' the royal added. 'He's just traumatized. He's doing these things, and everybody's bullying him, but not thinking about his trauma, and I just find it terrible because I feel like he's just been kind of left.'
There appears to be some movement in the family feud after the Sussexes' chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, and their PR representative in the U.K., Liam Maguire, met with the monarch's communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, last week in London. The royal peace talks come after Harry admitted to the BBC in May that he 'would love a reconciliation' with his dad and older brother because he did 'not know how much longer [his] father has.'
While the negotiations appear to be in the early stages of discussion, Delphine understands what it's like to be a palace outsider. She learned that her father was King Albert II of Belgium at the age of 18, but a lengthy legal battle and a confirmed January 2020 DNA test gave her the right to a royal title. Now, at the age of 57, the Belgian royal family regularly includes her in public appearances.
It's unclear when the British royal family might be reunited, but a People source described it as a 'good first step.' And now that there is some public pressure coming from another royal family, it might push King Charles in the right direction.Best of SheKnows

David Beckham documents his hilarious haircut mishap
David Beckham may be one of the most legendary English football players to ever play the game, but he may need to work on his haircutting skills. Beckham encountered a bit of a hiccup while he trimming his hair, according to a video he posted on his Instagram page Sunday, which resulted in an unfortunately placed bald spot on the top of his head. 'What have you done?' Victoria Beckham, his wife, is heard saying off-camera, to which David Beckham replied, 'it's not funny… the clipper head fell off.' Victoria Beckham, with a laugh, went on to roast her husband, joking about how their kids will have 'hours of content' from this. 'It does not look good,' she said. 'I'm going to always be honest with you. It looks terrible.' In the caption, David Beckham wrote that 'this happened yesterday whilst shaving my head and as you can hear my wife didn't find it funny at all.' Referencing a viral moment stemming from the Netflix documentary 'Beckham,' where the football star interrupts Victoria Beckham's interview telling her to 'be honest,' David Beckham quipped in his caption that when it comes to his hair, she doesn't 'always need to BE THAT HONEST.' Perhaps next time Beckham needs a trim, he'll consider visiting a professional hair stylist. Solve the daily Crossword

Ellen DeGeneres 'selling mansion and pub' in Cotswolds
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is selling a mansion and pub in the Cotswolds. The former host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show moved to the UK last year with her wife and Arrested Development star Portia de Rossi. Their move was allegedly in protest against Donald Trump's 2024 election win, but a report in The Sun in October reported the couple had bought a Cotswolds property, predating the election. Problems have arisen since their move, with reports of flooding last year in the area where the house is located.

(Image: David Jensen / PA) This prompted a recent move to a different mansion in the Cotswolds area, around 30 minutes from the last residence. The couple are selling their first UK house now since moving out, which also comes with its own pub. Yet, according to a fresh report in the Daily Mail this weekend, the property has been listed privately and not on the general housing market.

"Now their first mansion, which they bought for £15million, is up for sale – not on the open market but only to the 'right buyer should they approach'. "I think the biggest draw is that the house has its own pub. What's not to love?" The couple have been spotted out and about locally, with a sighting made last year at Jeremy Clarkson's Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog.
