Prince Harry steps out for first time since cringe interview
Prince Harry has stepped out in Las Vegas to launch a new youth initiative, just days after his startling interview with the BBC.
It marks his first public appearance since revealing that he and his father, King Charles, are not on talking terms.
The Duke of Sussex visited Vegas to announce the Pledge to Invest scheme in collaboration with the Diana Award, which empowers young people to lead change all over the world.
The scheme is designed as an 'opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership.'
The Duke appeared to set aside ongoing family rifts during the visit, speaking on a panel with two young recipients of The Legacy Award, an honour established to celebrate his late mother's extraordinary humanitarian work.
'Through The Diana Award, I've had the privilege of meeting young people who have turned adversity into action. That's not just inspiring—it's the kind of untapped potential we can't afford to overlook,' said The Duke.
'Far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we've failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways.
'This generation isn't waiting for permission to lead—they are already doing it,' he continued.
'They bring emotional intelligence, social awareness, and an honesty about mental health that previous generations struggled to express.'

Following the defeat of his recent legal battle in the UK to reinstate government-funded security for himself and his family, The Duke made startling confessions to the BBC about his relationship with his father, King Charles, who is receiving cancer treatment.
Although revealing that he has been kept in the dark over his father's health status, he admitted that he would love to reconcile with his family, saying 'there's no point in continuing to fight anymore'.
While extending an olive branch, he also told the BBC it is unlikely he will return to the UK with his family due to ongoing security concerns.
'I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.'
Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California with his US wife Meghan and their two children.

Since leaving, both he and Meghan have been highly critical of the royals in TV documentaries, an explosive interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey and most notably in Harry's best-selling biography Spare.
Now the prince is barely on speaking terms with either his father or his elder brother, heir to the throne Prince William.

Queen Camilla makes unannounced appearance at Women's Prize literature event amid 'incurable' cancer fears for King Charles
Queen Camilla has made a solo appearance at a major royal engagement following a bombshell report claiming King Charles' cancer is 'incurable'. The Queen stunned fans after she made the surprise appearance at a special event in Bloomsbury to celebrate 30 years of the Women's Prize for Fiction on Wednesday. Camilla, 77, has made literacy a key area of her royal duties and took to the lectern to deliver a short speech congratulating this year's nominees. "The Queen has joined brilliant authors at a special event for the Women's Prize for Fiction in Bedford Square this afternoon,' Buckingham Palace said in a statement. "Ahead of their Awards ceremony tomorrow, Her Majesty met this year's @WomensPrize shortlisted authors, judges and past winners, before addressing guests to congratulate them on the past three decades of incredible storytelling." Camilla's solo appearance comes days after a sobering update about King Charles' ongoing cancer treatment. The 76-year-old monarch has been battling an undisclosed form of the disease for the past eighteen months. According to report by veteran royal insider Camilla Tonminey, sources inside the palace believe the King's cancer is at bay but ultimately incurable. 'The talk now is that he may die 'with' cancer, but not 'of' cancer following a rigorous treatment program,' she revealed in The Telegraph newspaper on Friday. The King's cancer was discovered during an unrelated medical procedure to treat an enlarged prostate in January 2024, coincidentally at the same hospital where Princess Catherine had stomach surgery which revealed she also had cancer. The King's diagnosis occurred just months after his own coronation and saw Charles curtail duties for several months to undergo treatment. Charles has not disclosed what type of cancer he is suffering from or what stage the disease is at, but Buckingham Palace has continued to sporadically update the media that the monarch is doing well. Nevertheless, concerns for Charles increased again in March after the palace revealed the monarch was briefly hospitalised due to 'side effects' from his treatment. Prince Harry inadvertently stoked further speculation about the King's health during a recent interview with the BBC in which he claimed he was unsure how long his father 'had left to live' amid their estrangement. The report comes as Charles has resumed a rigorous diary of engagements and overseas travel, including recent trips to Commonwealth nations Australia, Samoa and Canada. All eyes will return to Buckingham Palace's famed balcony on Saturday where Charles, Camilla and the entire royal family will gather for the annual Trooping the Colour fly over.

Pitbull loves fans wearing bald caps to his concerts
Pitbull says fans donning bald caps to his concerts shows a connection that runs "deeper than just music". Mr. Worldwide brought his Party After Dark Tour to London's The O2 for the fifth time this year on Tuesday night, with thousands of fans in bald caps descending on the arena. Speaking to the BBC, Pitbull - whose real name is Armando Pérez - said: "Every time I'm at a show, I let them know that when you put on a bald cap, I hope you're ready to have the time of your lives - it feels deeper than just music." Pitbull added that it's "priceless" seeing fans of all ages engage in the tip-of-the-hat. He said: "It's the ultimate trophy to be able to go on stage and see all the hard work that you put into the music. I've been in the game for 25 years and to see every demographic, everybody (dressing up) at the shows is priceless." The Fireball hitmaker said his shows provide fans with "escapism". He further explained: "This is for everyone going through tough times, been there done that, but everyday above ground is a great day. "Life is not a waste a time and time is not a waste of life. So let's stop wasting time and have the time of our life." He concluded: "You don't know what a person is going through in their life, so I try to create phrases, which we grew up doing as Cubans. One-liners to help you out in any situation you're in." Pitbull says fans donning bald caps to his concerts shows a connection that runs "deeper than just music".
