Prince Harry explores severing royal ties by adopting Princess Diana's surname
Prince Harry reportedly explored dropping his royal surname in favour of Spencer, the maiden name of his late mother, Princess Diana, as tensions with the royal family continue to simmer. According to sources who spoke with the Daily Mail, the 40-year-old royal 'actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname' and even raised the idea with his uncle, Charles Earl Spencer, during a recent trip to the UK. 'They had a very amicable conversation,' a friend of Harry's told the outlet. 'Spencer advised him against taking such a step,' citing the legal and logistical difficulties that would come with abandoning the Mountbatten-Windsor name. Had he gone ahead, the move would have marked a significant break from the royal identity passed down through generations. The name Mountbatten-Windsor is a blend of Queen Elizabeth II's royal family name and Prince Philip's adopted surname, chosen when he became a naturalised British citizen and relinquished his Greek and Danish royal titles in 1947. The name traces back to Philip's maternal uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, a major influence on both Philip and King Charles III. Prince Harry, born Henry Charles Albert David, has rarely used a surname publicly, instead going by titles. During his school years and military service, he and his brother William used the surname Wales, based on their father's title, the then Prince of Wales. In uniform, Harry was known simply as 'Harry Wales'. He became the Duke of Sussex in 2018, a title granted by Queen Elizabeth II upon his marriage to Meghan Markle, who then became the Duchess of Sussex. Despite stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan has publicly embraced 'Sussex' as the family name, saying she wanted to share a surname with her children. In an episode of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan, she corrected guest Mindy Kaling: 'It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghan Markle', you know I'm Sussex now.' 'You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children',' she added. 'It just means so much to go, this is OUR family name. Our little family name'. Controversy recently flared over claims Meghan has used the 'HRH' title privately, despite an agreement with Buckingham Palace to forgo the styling. The dispute emerged after a friend received a gift basket accompanied by a card signed, 'HRH The Duchess of Sussex.' Prince Harry remains publicly estranged from senior members of the royal family but has expressed a desire to reconcile. In a May interview following the rejection of his legal appeal regarding UK security arrangements, he told the BBC, 'There have been so many disagreements between me and some of my family… Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.' 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has,' he added. 'He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.'

Movie star Matt Damon doesn't look like this anymore
Movie star Matt Damon has stepped into his silver fox era, ditching his well-known clean-cut look. The 54-year-old sported a head full of grey hair and and a bushy beard as he attended Netflix Tudum 2025 — an event that celebrates the streaming service's fandom and 'culture-defining storytelling'. Damon headlined the event alongside actor Ben Affleck and singer Teyana Taylor. Affleck — who is Damon's best friend and co-star in upcoming crime-thriller movie The Rip — joked about Damon's unruly beard while on stage. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Damon has grown out his beard for his role as the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus, for the movie adaptation of the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer. Along with growing out his beard, Damon has also grown an incredible set of abs. Topless pictures of the actor emerged in April, showing off his ripped physique, with Affleck saying he is 'kind of impressed' with how good his childhood pal looks.

'As you get on in life, it's less and less easy to do this, as I can tell you, and he is getting it done. 'And I'm a little bit — yeah, I don't like it, I feel like he's upstaging me, but what are you gonna do? 'I gotta respect it. He does look pretty good, I'm kind of impressed.'
