The Future of William & Kate's Marriage Revealed After He Hired Divorce Lawyers in a Shocking Royal Twist'It's the talk of the school, and of the parents,' a royal insider told the Daily Mail, and added that 'real dilemma' for the Waleses. Despite being the Royals, Eton College dean Sir Nicholas Coleridge will not bend the rules for them or anyone. He wrote in the Spectator, 'I find myself receiving a torrent of letters and emails from friends of friends, hinting that they hope I can help them secure a place for their sons or grandsons.There is a rigorous admissions system here, run with integrity, and it is awkward when the prospective boy hasn't caught the selector's eye.'
Prince Harry also wrote about how he loathed his time at Eton College in his memoir Spare. He recounted that his time at the school was 'heaven for brilliant boys, it could thus only be purgatory for one very unbrilliant boy.'
The news comes shortly after Prince William hired his mother's divorce lawyer after a move that shocked Buckingham Palace. William has been regularly using his father's lawyers Harbottle & Lewis and its partner, Gerrard Tyrrell — and made the move to Mishcon de Reya, which represented Princess Diana in her divorce from Charles a year before her accidental death.'William wanted to strike out on his own,' a source tells the Daily Mail, who broke this news. 'He did not want to continue using his father's lawyers. It's as simple as that. He wants to be his own man.'
Buckingham Palace thinks it's 'the latest example of his desire to follow a different path from that of his father.' William's friend told the Daily Mail, saying 'William wants to do things differently from his father, and wants to be seen to do them differently.'

Kate Middleton Stands By Prince William As Harry's Actions Leave 'Deep' Wounds, Royal Expert Says
Kate Middleton reportedly has no plans to reconcile with Prince Harry, as she chooses to stand by her husband, Prince William, amid ongoing tensions. Kate and Harry once shared a close bond, but their relationship soured after the duke and his wife, Meghan Markle's public criticisms of the royal family. Kate Middleton was reportedly heartbroken by the fallout with Prince Harry and the duchess, especially as she battled health challenges. Kate reportedly has no intention of initiating any reconciliation with Harry, choosing instead to remain firmly aligned with William. According to Us Weekly, the Prince and Princess of Wales are increasingly frustrated and "just don't understand why Harry doesn't stay quiet" after the royal exit. However, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield shared a different perspective with Fox News Digital, suggesting William's hurt stems from his desire to shield his wife from Harry's actions. "Catherine has been nothing but supportive of her husband – and that's exactly why Prince William is so deeply hurt," Schofield noted. He continued, "His pain doesn't come from personal insults or headlines. It comes from his instinct to protect the woman he loves… But what cuts the deepest is Harry's treatment of Catherine. She's always loved him, always treated him like a little brother. That's the betrayal William won't forget… But Harry never seems to think about the consequences." Meanwhile, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told the publication that Kate has been quietly heartbroken over the ongoing rift between William and Harry, but has no plans to enter the drama. "Catherine and Harry shared a fun humor and were often seen giggling together at events," Chard shared. She continued, "Sadly and upsettingly, Princess Catherine was dragged into the public negative narrative, which was a real smack around the face for the kind of sister-in-law who tried hard to be the peacemaker between the brothers." The tension that has grown since Harry and Meghan departed from royal life further deepened following Harry's explosive memoir "Spare" and Meghan's 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, during which she claimed Kate made her cry ahead of the royal wedding. According to a source cited by Us Weekly, Kate was deeply affected by the accusation. "The reframing of events upset her, and making up a narrative that Kate is mean was devastating," the source claimed. "She can't retaliate, and Meghan knows that." Chard told Fox News Digital that while Kate and Meghan never had much in common, the Princess of Wales was genuinely pleased when Harry found love. "Princess Catherine was happy when Prince Harry met Meghan," Chard noted. "She was thrilled that Prince Harry seemed genuinely happy… The three musketeers became the 'Fab Four'… Princess Catherine [silently] cannot understand why Prince Harry still won't bite his tongue and continues his destructive path." But that harmony didn't last. Chard explained that Kate entered "protection mode" as the "Sussexes aired more and more allegations, grievances, and untruths against members of the British royal family." "Her goals have been protecting the crown, future-proofing the monarchy, [honoring] the late Queen Elizabeth II's legacy, and protecting her children from Prince Harry's hurtful commentary," Chard added. After years of trying to bridge the gap, Kate has now also stepped back from "any role of attempting to mediate a reconciliation" between the brothers, royal expert Fordwich explained. "She and William are now totally at one regarding hypocritical Harry. She's far more focused on her health and family. She's rather hurt," Fordwich stated. In his memoir "Spare," Harry paints an affectionate picture of his early relationship with Kate. He described the princess as "a fantastic girl" and even joked about their dynamic, saying, "I'm really looking forward to getting her under my wing. She'll be taking me under her wing, probably." Harry recalled feeling genuinely close to Kate, writing: "I loved my new sister-in-law. I felt she was more sister than in-law, the sister I'd never had and always wanted, and I was pleased that she'd forever be standing by Willy's side. They made each other visibly happy, and therefore I was happy too." The duke wrote about their first meeting, noting that it left a lasting impression on him. He remembered her as "carefree, sweet, and kind," noting her love for photography, art, and fashion. "She'd done a gap year in Florence," he wrote. "She loved clothes… I liked seeing Kate laugh. Better yet, I liked making her laugh. And I was quite good at it." Unfortunately, as things stand, it is unlikely Harry and Kate's relationship would ever return to the way it once was.

Britney Spears Posted A Fiery Message About Her Exes
Britney Spears was serious when she said "Don't you know that you're toxic?" in 2003. Now, two years after Britney and Sam Asghari's divorce, after only 14 months of marriage, she shared a now-deleted message about two unspecified exes on social media while expressing her ability to connect with animals. "I'm so turned off by humanity and the way people have literally … I have no words !!!" Britney began in the June 10 post. "I dated two fucking complete assholes," she said, noting she had an "extremely shady week." "I realized I loved their dogs more than them and I think it's because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room!!!" "Now the guys were of course cruel humans that never even acknowledged me and never held my hand in the car for 6 years !!!" Britney added. "I choose animals over people anyday!!!" Britney's had several high-profile relationships over the years, most notably with Justin Timberlake from 1999—2002. Then, she married her backup dancer, Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18. They divorced in 2007. In 2016, Britney met Sam Asghari on the music video set for "Slumber Party," and they were married in June 2022. In August 2023, Sam filed for divorce. On a June 2 episode of the Trading Secrets podcast with Bachelor alum Jason Tartick, Sam spoke about his divorce from Britney, saying he "wanted her to have a prenup." "I wanted to make sure she's protected, because throughout her life, everybody—I don't know one person that's ever been in her life that didn't take advantage of her," Sam continued. "It's very sad. I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that don't do that." Sam said he doesn't get mad at the fans or the public for their speculation about his relationship with Britney. "Looking from an outside perspective," Sam added. "I see there's an age difference, there's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as costars." While it's not clear if Sam's recent podcast appearance triggered Britney's response or which exes she was talking about, someone was toxic, and she doesn't want a taste of that poison paradise anymore.

Tom Cruise's Awkward Answer About Father's Day Sparks Questions About His Relationship With Daughter Suri
Tom Cruise's personal life has been shrouded in mystery, from his dating life to his bond with his kids. Everyone has questions about his relationship with his and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise, and now, more than ever, people want answers. In case you missed it, earlier this week, an E! News journalist asked Tom: 'Father's Day is just around the corner. What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you?' And his response has people talking. More from SheKnows Tom Cruise's Second Act Keeps Getting Derailed by Scientology In a truly awkward turn of events, Tom responded by saying, 'You know…' before trailing off and shaking his head while looking into the distance. He added, 'Just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a good time.' Welp, how vague. You can see the proof for yourself in the video they posted HERE! Now, YouTube users instantly commented on this awkward moment, calling out Tom for his reported estrangement. One user said, 'A simple question about Father's Day and he can't answer it. He has gotten to a point where all he can talk about is movies and his love of movies. What about being a parent, Tom? There was a time when that was important to you. Sad for this man.' 'Wow kudos for the interviewer for finding a way to approach his father controversies, usually his questions are pre screened,' another added. '…I wish more interviewers could confront this sleazy guy about the unethical things surrounding him.' While Holmes and Tom have never publicly commented on whether he is, in fact, estranged from Suri, it's widely reported on, and insiders have even spilled the beans about it. Former leading Scientologist Karen De La Carriere previously told DailyMail that while many think that there are a lot of rules that prohibit Cruise from seeing Suri, it's just one major rule that she believes to be the case. 'Katie was deemed a Suppressive Person and Suri, by extension, a Potential Trouble Source,' she said. Chances are, you've heard about Scientology referring to some outsiders as a 'Suppressive Person,' which basically means someone who does suppressive acts against the Church and is dubbed an enemy for it. A Potential Trouble Source is basically a step below a Suppressive Person, it's basically someone linked to a Suppressive Person who may indicate they'll be an enemt ot the Church as well. This was backed up when DailyMail also asked Cruise's former security detail, Brendan Tighe, about it. 'So long as Suri sides with her mom, there will be no contact with her dad,' he said. 'But what about his two kids with Nicole Kidman (another ex of his who left the Church and became a Suppressive Person)?' Well, the reason he talks to his adopted children, that he shares with ex-wife Kidman, is that they're both Scientologists (with his daughter Bella as a high-ranking one at that). For those who don't know, Tom has three children in total. He and Kidman, with whom he was married to from 1990 to 2001, adopted two children: Isabella Jane 'Bella' Cruise and Connor Antony Cruise. Then, he and his ex-wife Holmes welcomed Suri on April 18, 2006, and they were married from 2006 to of SheKnows Every Single Time Shemar Moore Proved He's the Proudest First-Time Girl Dad The Best Places to Buy Furniture for Teens Online The Most Striking Rare Boy Names in the U.S. Right Now — & the Reason You Haven't Heard Them (Yet)
