Harry has shown his bravery. He should use it to stop blaming Charles for his problems
I hope the therapist who fed him the (deeply unhelpful) term 'genetic pain' explained that he wasn't condemned to suffer from this affliction for life. I hope that at least one of the army of therapists Harry has presumably been seeing since moving to California has explained that parenting is an imperfect science, that everyone messes up in one way or another, and that there's an expiry date on the parental blame game.
Let's say, 40, shall we? And that's being generous. Because at that point, as a probable parent yourself, you really need to have acquired a new compassion and understanding for your own parents. You should also be holding yourself accountable for any shortcomings. And by the way, as a parent, you too will fall short in any number of areas. You just have to hope that Archie and Lilibet won't still be holding those things against you when they're middle-aged.
Most importantly, I'd hope that any therapist worth their salt would emphasise how unhappy blaming others will ultimately make you. How unrewarding blame is; how it hollows you out.
Harry doesn't ever have to take up royal duties again. He doesn't ever have to move back from La La Land or even stop peddling nonsense to Netflix. But if this really is a 'reset', he will now need to call time on pointing out his family's failings, take responsibility for his own actions and do whatever it takes to heal that rift before it's too late.

This teen is already acting in films, can you guess who her very famous model mother is?
This 16-year-old high school student has had an early launch to her Hollywood acting career. The Los Angeles native is already starring in a new movie, a short film called Malibu that was released on YouTube this week. In her role the child plays a sassy Angelino who picks up on a handsome USC student when on the beach. The teen nails her lines with moxie as she starts a relationship with the young business major who takes her lead in the twisted film. Her mother is a very famous Brazilian model who has worked for Vogue and Victoria's Secret and has also been in movies with Mark Wahlberg. Who is this kid? She is Anja Ambrosio Mazur, the daughter of 44-year-old supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio who has also been in the films Daddy's Home and Casino Royale. . Anja's father is photographer and designer Jamie Mazur, who is not seen often on social media. Alessandra and Jamie split in 2018. Anja - full name Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur - is one of two children from the model and Mazur as Anja also has a 11-year-old brother named Noah Phoenix. Anja has already been working as a model for Burberry and Vogue, and looks to have a promising career in front of her in Hollywood. She will turn 17-years-old on August 24. Brazilian bombshell Alessandra is known for posing in her own brand, GAL Floripa, which has been making swimwear for years. Anja is a teenager going to high school in Los Angeles, but lately she has fired up her Instagram page with images from her travels with mom. This summer they have been on a fun beach vacation with friends like in Ibiza, Spain. Anja and her mom Alessandra also posed together often, which highlights their similarities. In 2024 the ladies looked like carbon copies of each other as they had the same high cheekbones and almond eyes as well as light brown hair as they posed side by side for a selfie. Seen here in her new short movie titled Malibu Anja is very active on Instagram, often sharing selfies and photos from family vacations. The family lives in Los Angeles and Anja is attending high school in the Santa Monica/Brentwood neighborhood. This comes after Alessandra showed off her incredible assets once again as she plugged her popular swimwear line GAL Floripa - which she launched with her sister and best friend in 2019. The international lingerie model made the most of a tiny mint green bikini that put her abs and trim waistline on display. Alessandra has had an enduring career. Last year she told Harper's Bazaar that 'I didn't think modelling would last.' But fame has not changed her much: 'In my personal life, I keep things simple. I'm a Brazilian girl, even though I now live in LA, so swimsuits and simple beachwear is my style. I love fashion but I don't have to go crazy with buying items. I'm happy with what makes me comfortable.' And she named her top style icons: 'Brigitte Bardot, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, because they carried themselves with confidence and a sense of fun. 'They also embraced a timeless look.' And the leggy lady shared some style advice. 'I think the best advice would be to remain authentic,' said the star who loves to wear athleisure. 'You can be playful and follow your instincts. You can't abandon yourself entirely; you have to stay true to who you are, even when you're wearing something that you wouldn't normally choose.' And she said she wants her kids to dress how they like.

Pamela Anderson had 'hot' fling with 90s action heartthrob years before new Liam Neeson romance
Pamela Anderson had a 'hot' fling with a nineties action heartthrob decades before her rumored new romance with her Naked Gun leading man Liam Neeson. Turns out the 58-year-old Baywatch alum enjoyed a six-month fling with Lois & Clark alum Dean Cain in 1993. 'That candle burned hot and short,' the life-long bachelor - turning 59 this Thursday - confirmed to Variety on Monday. 'She wanted to be with the rock-star kind of guy, and that's not me.' Dean only has 'fond memories of' Pamela, who went on to marry Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995 just four days after they met at WeHo nightclub Sanctuary. Three years later, the couple - whose honeymoon sex tape was stolen from their safe and released - divorced but remain co-parents of sons Brandon, 29; and Dylan, 27. On Sunday, Anderson beamed as she posed beside the 73-year-old Irishman at the New York premiere of The Naked Gun, and they've been 'enjoying each other's company.' 'It's a budding romance in the early stages,' a source told People on Monday. 'It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.' Earlier this month, the Golden Globe nominee gushed to EW: 'I think I have a friend forever in Liam. We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. He's a good guy.' Pamela and Liam bonded over their shared 'love of literature and a good laugh' and she regularly left cookies, muffins, and homebaked sourdough bread in his dressing room while on set. The feeling was definitely mutual for Neeson, who gushed to People last October: 'I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.' The Oscar-nominated actor has been single since ending his two-year relationship with Freya St. Johnston following the tragic loss of his wife Natasha Richardson, at age 45, from a traumatic brain injury in 2009. Liam and the British beauty welcomed sons Micheál, 30; and Daniel, 28; before her skiing accident. Anderson portrays nightclub singer Beth opposite Neeson's Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. in Akiva Schaffer's slapstick comedy continuation, which hits US/UK theaters this Friday. Dean only has 'fond memories of' Pamela, who went on to marry Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (R) in 1995 just four days after they met at WeHo nightclub Sanctuary On Sunday, Anderson beamed as she posed beside the 73-year-old Irishman at the New York premiere of The Naked Gun, and they've been 'enjoying each other's company' The Naked Gun also features Danny Huston, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Busta Rhymes, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, and Eddie Yu. Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker wrote and directed the original trilogy spanning 1988-1994, which amassed a total $476.4M at the global box office, following the short-lived ABC series Police Squad in 1982. In September, the Canadian-American beauty will fly to England to shoot a mystery role in Sally Potter's upcoming funeral drama Alma alongside Dakota Fanning and Lindsay Duncan. In April, Pamela was in Australia filming her role as two-time divorcée Molly in Kornél Mundruczó's upcoming drama Place to Be alongside Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi. Last September, Anderson was hard at work on the Spanish set of Karim Aïnouz's dark satire Rosebush Pruning for Mubi alongside Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, and Lukas Gage. The 15-time Playboy cover girl experienced a full-blown career resurgence last year after starring in Gia Coppola's drama The Last Showgirl, which earned her Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations.

Donald Trump Jr. leaves people 'beyond nauseous' with 'creepy' Sydney Sweeney joke involving his own father
Donald Trump Jr. weighed in on the latest controversial fashion ad that has been making waves on social media this week. Clothing brand American Eagle has been under fire for days after running a 'racially charged' ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney being described as 'Nazi propaganda.' 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' a tagline in one of the videos featuring the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 27-year-old reads. After the launch, many social media users, particularly on the video-sharing platform TikTok, voiced their disapproval of the messaging they viewed as racially charged. 'That Hanse.... Um, Donald is so hot right now!!!' Donald Trump Jr. captioned an AI-generated image of his father's face superimposed over Sweeney's denim-clad body. The image was posted along with the song 'Relax' by the Hollywood Session Singers, which featured in the 2001 comedy 'Zoolander' about an evil fashion guru and aspiring model. Trump Jr.'s post generated a substantial amount of comments on social media, with mixed reactions. Instagram user replied to the post 'Trump voter here, but would honestly like to unsee this. Also that song,' with a thumbs-down emoji posted alongside a disapproving face. X user @BixbyMabel73819 said that the photo made her 'beyond nauseous,' while @sandycsltx said that it was a 'Creepy hot daddy pix.' Another X user with the handle @GenePavlova said someone had 'to have a bad case of TDS to not love this picture.' 'Good one, the 'genes' are with you,' wrote Instagram user linnyquattro. Donald Jr. was the first child born to Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana. The two are also the parents of his siblings, Eric and Ivanka. 'Clearly where you got your good looks between your parents you lucked out,' wrote Instagram user dkgibson3. Trump Jr. is not the first member of the president's inner circle to weigh in on the controversy. White House Communications Director Stephen Cheung stepped in Tuesday afternoon to defend the ad from criticism. 'Cancel culture run amok. This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bull**t' Cheung wrote on his official X account. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who regularly rages against ' woke culture' also inserted himself in the drama Tuesday. He wrote on X: 'Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women. I'm sure that will poll well….' Social media users were intrigued by Cruz's decision to comment on the controversy. An X user posting under the handle @williamclaybags told Cruz, 'there's literally no reason for you to comment on this story.' 'Just a little self-exposure out of you. You see things through the optics of a vote. Interesting,' wrote another with the username @ColeJJones. Others, meanwhile, recalled an incident that occurred when now-President Donald Trump attacked the appearance of Cruz's wife Heidi during the 2016 GOP presidential primary. 'Why didn't you stand up for Heidi Ruiz (your wife) like this when @realDonaldTrump called her ugly?' asked X user @mondalerobinson. , asking why the senator's wife didn't get the same defense he has provided Sweeney. 'Remember when Trump said your wife was beyond busted and you were like Sir Yes Sir! Lol' mused X user @chudbastard. The reference to Sweeney's 'genes' didn't sit well with many people on social media, who accused the ads of being a racial dog whistle. Despite the loud backlash, the double-entendre has seemingly resonated, with American Eagle stock up more than 11 percent since last Wednesday, with a notable spike the day the commercials were released. The phrase 'great genes' is 'historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness,' which it said made 'this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move,' a Salon report on the backlash read. Taking to social media, many expressed their shock at messaging - which they aligned to Nazi propaganda. Outraged fans penned: 'So Sydney (& American Eagle) somehow expect audiences to not interpret this visual as a euphemism for eugenics and white supremacy?' 'The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign is just modern day Nazi propaganda. Like it's wild how blatant it is. Things are weird right now, man.' But American Eagle Chief Marketing Officer Craig Brommers has a decidedly different explanation for what the company was trying to accomplish with the ads featuring Sweeney. According to Brommers, Sweeney is one of the most recognizable young people in the world. He said he and others thought putting her face in ads right before the back-to-school season would be a winning strategy.
