Camera Catches Striking Photo of King Charles Grinning to Himself During Solo Outing
On July 28, King Charles III went to a reception for Caithness Communities hosted by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in Thurso, Scotland. While there were no images of the actual event, there were many shots of King Charles outside, including one striking close-up shot that caught my eye.

The image revealed a less pensive, more relaxed monarch. King Charles had a huge grin on his face as he looked out in the distance. Luckily, this wasn't the only picture I discovered of the joyful royal.

Other photos showed King Charles waving to the crowd—and it'll be a disservice to not mention his stylish outfit, which honored Scottish culture as he donned a traditional kilt.

He stayed cheerful as he connected with members of the public. He spent time shaking hands and chatting with them outside of the event venue.

For context, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority celebrated its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of work to safely clean up and (as the name suggests) decommission the UK's oldest nuclear sites. The event also marked the 50th anniversary of the Pacific Nuclear Transport Limited and the 70th anniversary of the Dounreay Nuclear site.
He honored the day by unveiling a plaque, which read: "To commemorate the visit of His Majesty King Charles III at Scrabster Harbour on 28th July 2025 to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of The Dounreay Site."
Glad to see King Charles III in good spirits!

Get Ready for Football Season With NFL Retro Bowl 26 on Apple Arcade
The NFL preseason has started, which means football will occupy a lot of TVs for the next few months. To help you get in the mood for football season, Apple is planning to bring NFL Retro Bowl '26 to Apple Arcade on Sept. 4. Apple Arcade is filled with familiar and classic games, alongside exclusive titles, that you can play for $7 per month (£7, AU$10). Many of these games can be found in the App Store, but they may have paywalls and ads that hinder your gaming experience. An Apple Arcade subscription gives you access to games without paywalls and ads, a feature usually denoted by "Plus" in the name. Here are all the games Apple plans to bring to the service on Sept. 4. You can also check out the games Apple added in August, like Worms Across Worlds. NFL Retro Bowl '26 Developer: New Star Games Apple This NFL and NFLPA-licensed game brings authentic team rosters and NFL players to your mobile screen in fun retro visuals, just like last year's Retro Bowl '25. This year's game introduces a new game mode called NFL Retro Bowl Championship Leaderboard. In this mode, you can play as your favorite teams in weekly matchups that align with the 2025 season. Hopefully, my Cincinnati Bengals will return to the Super Bowl this year, but if not, I can at least take them there in this game. Jeopardy! Daily Developer: Frosty Pop Games Apple Jeopardy! Daily is a daily game that brings clues crafted by the show's writers to your screen, where you have to answer in the form of a question. In this trivia game, you can upload your score to the global leaderboards, test your knowledge in unique game modes and more. My Talking Tom Friends Plus Developer: Outfit7 Apple Join Talking Tom, Angela and other virtual pets as they go on adventures into town, play minigames and more. This interactive life-sim brings all the Talking Tom and Friends characters together in one place, so you can take care of the different pets, dress them up in fun costumes and create your own adventures. You can access these games in Apple Arcade on Sept. 4, but there are plenty of other games to play on the service, which costs $7 a month or $50 annually. You can also try Apple Arcade for free for one month with your first sign-up, or you can get a three-month free trial when you buy a new Apple device. To access Apple Arcade, open the App Store on your iOS or iPadOS device and tap the joystick in the menu bar.

Metallica And Queen Manage The Same Feat
For the past several weeks, both Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Sabbath have appeared in lofty positions on the charts in the United Kingdom, as listeners in the late rocker's home country mourn his passing and honor his legacy by streaming and buying his biggest hits. As is always the case when such a surge occurs for a sad reason, those tunes have started to decline, especially on the country's rundown of the top rock and metal tracks. That's the tally where Osbourne and Black Sabbath fully displayed their immense popularity, and this frame, as some of Osbourne's most popular tunes and a handful of Black Sabbath cuts fall, several other classics by other superstar acts are able to return to the highest tier. Metallica, Queen and Evanescence Return Four songs return to the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart this week. All of them regularly spend time within that region, but they were recently pushed out as Osbourne and Black Sabbath surged. 'Can't Stop' by Red Hot Chili Peppers leaps highest, jumping from No. 12 to No. 7. That tune is followed by a trio of comebacks, including 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen (No. 8), 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica (No. 9), and 'Bring Me to Life' by Evanescence (No. 10). Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Fall Making room for Metallica, Queen, and others, a pair of Osbourne tunes and two Black Sabbath favorites fall. Last week, Osbourne's 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' and 'No More Tears' sat at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively, and now they dip to Nos. 12 and 13. Black Sabbath sat just behind the group's own frontman at Nos. 6 and 7 with 'War Pigs' and 'Iron Man,' which have now declined in stature to Nos. 15 and 16, respectively. AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and Disturbed Rise Several other popular smashes are also on the rise within the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart, though they don't need to return to the highest tier. 'Iris' by Goo Goo Dolls finds its way back to No. 1, swapping spots with 'Paranoid' by Black Sabbath, which dips to the runner-up slot. 'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed, 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, and 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses all inch north several spots, settling in at Nos. 4, 5, and 6, respectively, after landing in the lowest spots within the uppermost region just a few days ago.
