Meghan Markle & Prince Harry on Guard After Low-Key Beach Photos Made Public, Says Source
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry feel 'blindsided' by the beach incident, claims source
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's leaked photos from Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria have gained attention. It featured the Duke and Duchess of Sussex watching over their son, Archie, taking surfing lessons. As it was the family's private affair, the couple seemed to be 'devastated' about the leak and is 're-evaluating' whom they can trust. A source told Rob Shuter, 'This was supposed to be a peaceful day. Instead, they feel blindsided and exposed.'
Although Markle and Harry are public figures, they didn't anticipate that their private photos would be surfaced all over the internet. Reportedly, they made sure to keep it under wraps as it was not a 'public outing.' 'They planned every detail to keep it low-key — and someone sold them out,' the insider added. The parents of two thought of the outing to be a 'special day,' but left disappointed and accepted it as 'a wake-up call.'
According to the Daily Mail, Archie has been a part of the Santa Barbara-based surfing institute Surf Happens. They recently shared a video of a talent show, featuring the young royal flaunting his dance moves. At the beach, Markle and Harry joined the other parents and cheered for their son.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes have been the hot topic of discussion due to their royal return rumors. King Charles reportedly would allow Harry and his wife to return to their royal duties, along with their commercial ventures. The aides of the father-son duo met in London last month, hinting at their reconciliation.

Arizona woman beaten unconscious by man during concert at Rose Bowl
An Arizona woman who did not want to be identified is recovering after a brutal beating over the weekend at a sold-out concert in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium that was captured on video and has since gone viral. The frightening ordeal unfolded Saturday night after the victim and her fiancé drove hours from Phoenix to see the Grammy Award winning electronic band RÜFÜS DU SOL. It's unclear what time exactly the incident unfolded, but the victim told KTLA that when she and her friend got to their seats, they accidentally spilled a bit of a drink on a man in front of them. 'We apologized immediately, but he yelled that it was intentional and ran off, leaving his companion behind,' she told The Festive Owl, a music news outlet who first reported the woman's story. 'We apologized to her and thought it was over.' Unfortunately, unidentified concertgoer returned about a half hour later, began screaming at the victim and her friends, threatening violence and while she said she tried deescalating the situation by apologizing again, the man punched her in the face, knocking her unconscious and causing significant bleeding. In footage of the violent attack, the man is seen launching into a group of people and throwing at least five punches, while someone behind him attempts to pull him out of the crowd. At one point in the video, the victim can be seen sitting on the ground, head tilted down as her fiancé, who also reportedly took some blows to the head, attempted to shield her. Missing California mother and baby found dead in SUV submerged in water No one is coming to a concert for that interaction,' Ethan Dubone, who was at the show that night, told KTLA. 'Everyone is coming for a good time.' Since the footage has gone viral, many have complained that the venue did a less than stellar job of managing the sold-out stadium show. 'Among the long laundry list of complaints was crowd crushing in tunnels, people pushing in overcrowded stairs, aggressive drunk people, arguments, fans blocking exits, incredibly long shuttle lines, and, sadly, assault,' the independent Los Angeles-based music blog Grimy Goods reported. Another concert attendee that evening was Christina Molina who, along with her daughter, was seated a few rows behind the victim. 'I literally had people pressed up against my back, all of them blocking that entire walkway,' she told KTLA. So, crowd control was nonexistent.' Not only were the aisles jam packed, according to Molina, she said she saw people openly doing drugs and wonders if crush of the huge crowd mixed with drug and alcohol use was a factor in the violent beating. 'I've never seen any venue that has allowed the people to stand there in the walkways. It's a hazard,' she added. 'There were multiple security vendors working the venue. It wasn't just one vendor, it was multiples, and the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.' As for the victim who is back home in Arizona, she said she is seriously bruised and sore but expects to fully recover. She has also been in contact with police, who confirmed that they are actively trying to identify him. KTLA has reached out to Rose Bowl officials to ask about venue security policies and is awaiting a response. Anyone who recognizes the man in the video is encouraged to call the Pasadena Police Department. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact the L.A.

Meghan Markle's new challenge as she's accused of 'copying Kate Middleton'
Meghan Markle is said to be 'furious' about accusations she's 'copying' her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, following their new TV deal with Netflix. The Duke of Sussex, 40, and the Duchess of Sussex, 44, announced a new 'first-look' deal last week with the US streaming giant. As well as putting Meghan under fresh scrutiny, experts tell OK! that the details are clearly a 'reality check' for the couple. The deal includes a new festive edition of Meghan's With Love show, where viewers can 'join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration'. It didn't take long for some royal watchers to accuse Meghan of trying to steal the festive limelight from Kate, 43, who hosts her own annual Christmas event. A source claims, 'Meghan is furious that people are accusing her of copying Kate, because Kate doesn't 'own' Christmas. There are always going to be comparisons, but Meghan has a business that she needs to make a success of." They continued, 'The Kate versus Meghan chatter started almost as soon as Meghan joined the family, and it's not going to stop, but Meghan doesn't want to compete or copy Kate.' Kinsey Schofield, a podcaster and royal expert in the US, believes, however, that the Sussexes have shown a 'pattern of choosing moments' that risk overshadowing other royal occasions – and Christmas might be no exception. 'It's become so noticeable it was reported recently that Harry had offered to share his schedule with the family as an 'olive branch' to avoid competing in the future,' she says. Earlier this year, Harry was accused of 'stealing the limelight' from his father and stepmother when he arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice in London just before King Charles and Queen Camilla began their state visit to Italy, which also coincided with their 20th wedding anniversary. The release of the paperback edition of his explosive memoir Spare also hit the headlines worldwide – just as the King and Queen were touring Australia. Back in 2020, Meghan's team came under fire after a stream of two-week-old photos were published on her Instagram account on the same day as Kate embarked on a UK tour. And when Harry and Meghan dropped their so-called 'Megxit' bombshell on the eve of Kate's 38th birthday, they were accused of 'overshadowing'. But when it comes to their festive plans, Kinsey suspects that Meghan is unlikely to successfully emulate Kate's feel-good celebration. The mum-of-three hosts an annual Christmas service at Westminster Abbey, an event which has become one of the biggest and most poignant in the family's festive calendar. Kinsey, who hosts the To Di For Daily podcast, doubts that Meghan's show will hit the same notes, saying, 'Catherine's carol concert is about unity, love, and hope. Kinsey adds. 'She arrives with her family, with a sense of togetherness and faith. 'In contrast, Meghan's Christmas special feels more like a branding opportunity. She's timed product launches from her lifestyle line, As Ever, to coincide with the release. 'Without the warmth of family or shared tradition, it plays less as a holiday celebration and more as a commercial venture. When placed side by side, Catherine's feels authentic and meaningful, while Meghan's risks seeming transactional.' The Sussexes' latest TV news comes five years after they signed a deal with Netflix said to be worth upwards of $100m (£74m), shortly after turning their backs on their life as senior working royals. Their new arrangement – described as a 'multi-year, first-look deal' – means Netflix will pay for the right to get first dibs on the couple's work, but isn't committed to taking it. Dermot McNamara, a talent manager and PR crisis expert, believes the difference in terms sends out a strong message. 'It's not necessarily a humiliation, but it is a reality check for Meghan and Harry and also a reflection of the ever-changing entertainment world,' he tells us. 'Every network and streamers' belts are tightening. 'Netflix wants to see sharper ideas and stronger delivery before committing to mega-budgets again. The upside is that this could help Meghan and Harry define what they actually stand for, creatively.' The pair's productions so far, including Harry's polo documentary and Meghan's With Love series, weren't exactly record-breaking successes, with the latter failing to crack Netflix's list of the 300 most-streamed shows of the year so far. Dermot also suggests that while Meghan won't take kindly to the 'copying' comments, she will have been fully aware that comparisons would inevitably be made. 'Every broadcaster, charity and celebrity under the sun produces holiday specials. It's a warm, family-friendly format that audiences respond to. That said, Meghan knows the optics. Wanting to be seen in the same aspirational light as Kate isn't the worst strategy, but Meghan's challenge is to make it feel authentic to her own brand, not a re-skin of someone else's.'

Master Painter Shawn Mackey Debuts New Tropical Art Collection in Florida, California, and Hawaii Galleries
Key West, FL, Aug. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shawn Mackey, a master painter celebrated both locally and abroad, debuts a new body of work in a series of exhibitions spanning Florida, California, and Hawaii's cultural hubs. Inspired by the atmosphere and vitality of tropical destinations, the collection brings together scenes of marine life, sunsets, and figures at leisure, rendered with a synthesis of historical and contemporary techniques. Shawn Mackey: Little Sunbather SN, Giclée on Canvas The collection's imagery draws from Mackey's travels to coastal and island environments, where moments of light, movement, and texture serve both as subject and muse. Seals suspended under water, harbor fronts at dusks, and silhouettes framed by tropical skies are portrayed alongside atmospheric vistas and architectural details. Each work reflects Mackey's ongoing exploration of the relationships between memory and emotion, achieved through his signature combination of figurative realism and abstract expressionism. Tropical Collection: A Fusion of Styles and Atmosphere Mackey's new tropical collection is characterized by his distinctive multi-layered approach that combines styles and techniques developed over centuries combined with his own evolving methods. Representational elements ground each painting in recognizable forms, and abstract passages, like gestural marks and textured surfaces, invite emotional interpretation. 'The figurative elements in my work are designed to call on memories, while the abstract elements are meant to evoke emotions,' Mackey explained. 'I see these two styles as complementary forces, each inspiring and informing others. The resulting contrast creates a visual space that is both specific and open-ended, fixed in imagery yet fluid in feeling.' This fusion is applied to a collection unified by its focus on the sensory experience of coastal life. Marine wildlife drifting through translucent waters and quiet moments in the sunset form an interconnected narrative of exploration and reflection. Subtle architectural details, like dockside structures, seaside villas, and fishing boats, anchor the viewer in place, while layered color fields and surfaces blur the line between observation and memory. Mackey's method frequently involves both additive and subtractive processes: paint is applied in successive layers, then scraped or distressed to create surfaces that feel weathered yet timeless, lending his works a sense of temporal ambiguity. Part of an Ongoing Artistic Evolution While the tropical series offers a distinct focus on coastal and marine subjects, Mackey views it as part of a broader continuum in his work rather than a standalone departure. Over the years, his paintings have moved fluidly between various settings and focuses, each new series building upon discoveries from the last. This new collection of artworks incorporates lessons learned from earlier explorations of light, texture, and spatial balance, while introducing new approaches to layering, color modulation, and surface treatment. Techniques developed in past bodies of work have been adapted to suit the vibrant, fluid qualities of a tropical paradise. Exhibition Schedule The tropical collection has already started showing, with four upcoming exhibits scheduled in Florida these coming months. Ocean Blue Galleries Key West: August 27-28 Ocean Blue Galleries St. Petersburg: August 29-September 1 Ocean Blue Galleries Key West: October 20-25 Ocean Blue Galleries Winter Park: November 13-16 Each venue will present a curated selection of works, with subject matter resonating with local culture and seascapes. The current exhibition builds on Mackey's early 2025 shows, which began in January and included multiple Hawaii showings in February, March, and earlier this month. Additional dates are planned for other places, with details to be announced.
