William ‘Absolutely F—ing Hates' Harry Amid Charles' Secret Plan to Reconcile—He'll ‘Never, Ever Forgive' His Brother
Last week, King Charles and Prince Harry's senior aides held a secret meeting, according to The Mail on Sunday, the first big step towards resolving the feud between father and son. The talks were held in London. 'There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years,' said a source. 'There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.'

Harry was represented by Meredith Maines, his chief communications officer and head of his household in Montecito. The King's communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, the King's communications secretary and Liam Maguire, who runs the Sussexes' PR team in the UK were also present. There was, however, no one's from William's camp in the meeting, which points to the kind of relationship the brothers have right now and the slim chances of reconciliation between the two.
In fact, The Daily Beast reported that according to a friend of William, 'He absolutely f***ing hates' his brother Harry. That same source also told the outlet that. 'William will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.'
The meeting between King Charles' aides and Prince Harry's is not seen as a definitive fix to their relationship, but as the first step towards a reconciliation. 'Everyone just wants to move on and move forward now. It was finally the right time for the two sides to talk,' the outlet also said.
Prince Harry said in a BBC interview in May that he wanted reconciliation. 'There's no point in continuing to fight anymore,' he said. 'Life is precious. Forgiveness is 100 percent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.'
Recent reports had even indicated King Charles and Prince Harry might actually be able to fix their relationship, with Prince Harry reportedly inviting his family to the next Invictus Games, which are set to be held in the UK in 2027 and reports that the King had factored not only Prince Harry but Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, into the heart of his funeral plans.
But it seems that, even if King Charles and Prince Harry really are willing to forgive and forget in order to have a relationship with each other, that olive branch does not extend to Prince William.

Ozzy Osbourne's death has tributes pouring in from music legends and celebrities across the globe
Elton John and the members of Black Sabbath were among the celebrities and music industry figures who paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne after the rock icon died Tuesday at the age of 76. "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning," the singer's family announced in a statement that was shared on Osbourne's Instagram page. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." The legendary singer, who reunited with his former Black Sabbath bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward for his farewell show earlier this month, is survived by wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee, and son Jack, in addition to daughter Jessica, and sons Elliot and Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. After the news of Osbourne's death broke, there was an outpouring of tributes from stars who reacted with shock and sadness to his passing. John honored his late longtime friend in a heartfelt post that he shared on Instagram. "So sad to hear the news of @ozzyosbourne passing away," John wrote alongside a throwback photo of himself with Osbourne. "He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods - a true legend," the five-time Grammy Award winner continued. "He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love." John previously collaborated with Osbourne on the title track of the late heavy metal rocker's 2020 album "Ordinary Man." The song also featured Gun N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith. Black Sabbath shared an image of Osbourne that was taken during his "Back To The Beginning" farewell concert in Birmingham, England. The show marked the first time that Osbourne had performed with his former bandmates, Iommi, Butler and Ward in 20 years. The foursome comprised the original lineup of Black Sabbbath, which they formed in 1968. "Ozzy Forever," the band wrote in the caption of their Instagram post. Singer-songwriter Ryan Adams also took to Instagram to mourn the loss of Osbourne and share how he had been inspired by the Prince of Darkness. "RIP Ozzy Osbourne," Adams wrote in the caption of a photo of Osbourne in his younger years. "It's hard to wake up on tour in a world without an Ozzy," he continued. "I can't imagine how hard this is for his loved ones and extended chosen family." "Diary of a Madman was the first cassette I bought that truly felt like I was holding a magical implement," Adams recalled. "It still is today. And all the rest followed." "I am but just one of the endless list of lives your music inspired and changed forever," he added. "To Jack, Kelly and Sharon & fam, we love you. My deepest condolences and love." The 10-hour show, hosted by Jason Momoa, featured performances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler and more. The legendary rockstar, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, performed while sitting on a black throne that rose up from the stage. He sang hits such as "Crazy Train" and "Mama I'm Coming Home" before being joined by Black Sabbath. "Love you @ozzyosbourne All my aloha @sharonosbourne and ohana. So grateful. RIP," Momoa wrote in a post that included a photo of himself posing backstage at the farewell show with Osbourne and Sharon. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong also shared a photo of Osbourne, writing, "No words. We love you Ozzy." "I am so very sad to hear of the death of Ozzy Osbourne," The Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood wrote on X, formerly Twitter, along with broken-heart and prayer emojis. "What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham." In a post on X, Rapper Flavor Flav recalled his long friendship with Osbourne and noted how he had been in attendance when the late musician was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Man,,, real heart broken over the passing of OZZY OSBOURNE,,, we go way back and it was a real honor to watch him get inducted into the @rockhall last year. Sending my love and prayers to Sharon and his kids and whole family. RIP" Osbourne was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The late musician was inducted as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006, and he was inducted for a second time as a solo artist in April 2024. Flavor Flav's post featured two photos of himself with Osbourne. The two were pictured smiling while seated on a couch with country star Jelly Roll in the first image. Flavor Flav also included a black and white throwback snap in which he and Osbourne were seen flashing peace signs as the rapper draped his arm around the heavy metal artist. Osbourne's close friend and British rocker Yungblud, who performed Black Sabbath's song "Changes" at Osbourne's farewell concert, shared an emotional tribute on Instagram. "I didn't think you would leave so soon," Yungblud wrote of Osbourne, who he previously said was a mentor to him. "The last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room," Yungblud continued. "But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't." "I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage," he added. "Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all." "I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time." The Smashing Pumpkins honored Osbourne as the band posted a clip from a February appearance that Sharon made on frontman Billy Corgan's podcast "The Magnificent Others." In the video, Sharon spoke of Osbourne, telling Corgan, "When he says 'I love you,' he does." "We [heart emoji] you too, Ozzy," the Smashing Pumpkins wrote alongside the video on their X page. Pearl Jam founding member and lead guitarist Mike McCready paid tribute to Osbourne on X, recalling his first time experiencing Osbourne's music. "Sad to hear Ozzy died today," he wrote on the band's page. "When I was in high school I discovered Sabbath. 'War Pigs' was terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time. It was Ozzy's voice that took me away to a dark universe. A great escape. Then when The 'Blizzard of Ozz' record came out I was instantly a fan. Randy Rhoads was an influence on me to play lead guitar. Luckily I got to play on the song "Immortal" on the last record. Thanks for the music, Ozzy it makes our journey in life better." Nirvana shared an X post in which the band credited Osbourne and Black Sabbath for pioneering the rock genre. "Thank you Ozzy Osbourne for the inspiration. @BlackSabbath is the template for heavy Rock. #Ozzy," the band wrote.

Ozzy Osbourne's final business ventures: Selling his DNA on tea cans and a makeup collection
Shortly before he died, Ozzy Osbourne embarked on a business venture that could let fans "recycle him forever" — technology permitting. Osbourne died on Tuesday at the age of 76. Though he was known for his role as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Osbourne spent the months before his death launching a series of notable brand partnerships. The so-called "Prince of Darkness" teamed up with the company Liquid Death in June on a product called "Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy." He drank 10 cans of the brand's iced tea, leaving "trace DNA from his saliva" on the now-precious metal, according to the company. Osbourne also signed each package, which originally sold for $450 each. (A six-pack of the teas goes for $13.83 on Amazon). Liquid Death said in fine print that it couldn't guarantee "DNA integrity and cloning results." At the time of writing, the coveted cans were sold out on Liquid Death's website. One sold on eBay on July 22, the day of his death, for $4,655. Osbourne, who sometimes wore dark eyeliner, also dipped his toe in the makeup world in the weeks before his death. On July 1, the UK-based makeup brand Jolie Beauty announced it was partnering with the rock legend and launching a limited-edition collection. Customers could preorder the entire collection, which included brushes, lipsticks, and a makeup bag emblazoned with an Osbourne-esque skull, for $553. The CEO of the Birmingham-based company said in a video on Facebook that the opportunity was an "absolute honor," noting that Osbourne himself was from Birmingham, England. Representatives for Liquid Death and Jolie Beauty did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. In the early 2000s, Osbourne starred in the MTV reality show "The Osbournes" alongside his wife and kids. His somewhat unconventional business partnerships weren't entirely new, either — in 2003, Chipotle created the Chipotle Celebrity Card for him, which grants unlimited Chipotle for one year. As of 2022, he was the only lifelong cardholder. Osbourne struggled with Parkinson's disease in the final years of his life, but joined Black Sabbath for a final concert earlier in July in Birmingham. His family said he died while "surrounded by love" in a statement.

Comedian Nish Kumar on why Trump isn't actually 'good' for comedy: 'He's not one of your crack smoking mayors'
Nish Kumar reflects on political satire, social media and the evolving global reach of stand-up comedy ahead of his Just For Laughs shows in Montreal LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 21: Nish Kumar attends Day 1 of The Podcast Show at the Business Design Centre on May 21, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Alan Chapman/) As the Just For Laughs comedy festival continues this week, shows from comedian Nish Kumar are sure to be a highlight of the Montreal summer staple. While Kumar sells out stand-up shows around the world, and for good reason because he's one of the best, he said that he has a "sentimental fondness" for taking part in a festival. "The shows are always really good fun. ... There's an international circuit of comedians that do these things, that do Montreal, that do Edinburgh, that do Melbourne, and ... it's a really great opportunity to catch up with some friends, and also get to see some cool stuff as well," Kumar told Yahoo Canada. "I watch a lot when I'm in town and I've seen some unbelievable shows." This isn't Kumar's first time in Canada this year. The British comedian was doing a show in Toronto in February, just as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs came into effect. ADVERTISEMENT "That was a particularly febrile time," Kumar recalled. "I think I was hoping that things might have calmed down a little bit, but obviously they were never going to calm down." "It's a fascinating experiment in what happens when a country, for seemingly no reason, out of nowhere, reverses centuries of diplomatic relations with its neighbour, with whom it shares a land border." Kumar's February show was also just months before Canada's last election, which saw Mark Carney get elected prime minister after previous holding the position of Governor of the Bank of England. "It obviously is very strange for a British person that Mark Carney is [the Prime Minister]. I know he's Canadian intellectually, but to me he only exists as a character in British news from 2016 and 2017," Kumar said. Nish Kumar: Trump isn't good for comedy But while some have frequently assumed that Trump is "good" for comedy, Kumar stressed that "he's not." ADVERTISEMENT "He's not one of your crack smoking mayors, ... the idea of regionally powerful politicians that make national news for being buffoons is maybe something that I can see as being good, but with Trump ... he poses this huge existential threat. Especially with his total hostility to climate science," Kumar highlighted. "I think what you have to try and find the balance with is engaging with the seriousness of what's actually going on and what the ramifications of a lot of these guys are, and also ... you're trying to find the balance between jokes that make people laugh. ... If it looks like you're not taking it really seriously enough people will just will get annoyed. I don't think the people that I'm performing to are interested in hearing like, he says 'bigly,' or look at him, isn't he orange. I think if I went out and did that kind of stuff the people that I'm performing to would be furious. I'm always trying to thread that balance between jokes that are funny, but also engage with the seriousness of the stuff that a figure like Trump is capable of." What that has also meant is that Kumar has to be especially adaptable to respond to what's happening in the world, U.S. politics, Trump and beyond, which he's been able to navigate with real finesse. "Since 2016, I've always kept a bit of room in my shows for stuff to change constantly," Kumar said. "You try and make sure that ... 80 per cent of the show is set in stone, ... and then the other 20 per cent you have to be loose and you have to keep writing while you're touring." "The silver lining of that is that you're never bored with the show. I've had to kind of retool the show as I've been touring, because I've been touring it for nearly a year now, and so that 20 per cent has just changed."

(Photo by Sonja Flemming/CBS via Getty Images) The good and the bad of social media A big shift in comedy consumption around the world has been things like social media and podcasts allowing people to get exposure to comedians they otherwise wouldn't engage with, also helping to create an invested audience for things like comedy festivals, as Kumar highlighted. ADVERTISEMENT "I think the internet is sort of supercharging these things, rather than taking away from them," he said. "A British comedian of my standing 20 years ago would not have been able to casually come to Canada and America and sell out tour shows, that didn't exist. It's only because of the internet and podcasting and Taskmaster, specifically. ... I think there's a lot of negatives that it has for our industry and the art form more broadly, but from a perspective of getting people to come to shows and live comedy and festivals, I think it's actually really helped." But engaging on the internet, specifically on social media, can be a tricky exercise, with Kumar describing his relationship with the platforms as "not always healthy." He has spoken about receiving death threats for years. "I think the problem with it is that it's not exclusively bad," Kumar said. "I'm grateful to the internet and social media for what it's done for my career in terms of the live audience. I think in terms of having access to everyone's opinions about a thing that you've made is not always conducive for getting it made. Having the ability to see what every single person thinks of you can, at points, be paralyzing and I've definitely gone in waves with it." "I don't want to praise him ever, really, but the one thing I will say is Elon Musk buying Twitter has been really great for me, because it means that I've stopped using it, I think like for a lot of us. ... It's like a reverse Raiders of the Lost Ark, where he just opened this box and just Nazis went everywhere. And I think that, that had made a lot of us examine our relationship with it. Is this all part of a long game for Elon Musk's attempts to improve all of our mental health? No, it definitely isn't. But I genuinely think there's something fundamentally unhealthy about all of it." Kumar stressed that Canadian Naomi Klein's book "Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World" has "rewired" his brain in terms of engaging more critically with how he conducts himself on social media platforms, and more "empathetic" to "victims of these algorithms," while angrier about the perpetrators. ADVERTISEMENT "There's this illusion that's been created that we've got a lot of critical thinking applied to what we would call legacy media, or mainstream media," Kumar said. "And that's good and healthy. And we should have been considering who the gatekeepers were the whole time. ... However, there is a flip side to it, which is we have lost the ability to realize that there are gatekeepers to the internet, and you'll see people say, 'Well, you've got to question everything' and then repost something about, for example, the COVID vaccine that they've engaged absolutely no critical thought to at all." "There's this idea that social media platforms are purely democratic and if something is blowing up on social media it's just a pure exercise of democracy. And again, that doesn't really take into account the algorithms that govern these websites, and the fact that it's not necessarily qualitative, it's just that you've done something that games the algorithm in a particular way." From his evaluation of politics, societal structures and beyond, Kumar continues to be one of the best and essential voices in stand-up comedy. Nish Kumar has shows on July 23 and July 25 at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal
