People Are Saying This Clip Of Hugh Grant 'Asleep' At Wimbledon Is A Total Mood
It's well-documented just how hard it is for even the most A-list of A-listers to get a spot in the Royal Box during Wimbledon… but that seemingly isn't keeping Hugh Grant up at night. Or, indeed, during the daytime. The Notting Hill star paid a visit to the iconic tennis tournament on Wednesday, where he and his wife Anna Eberstein were seated behind none other than the actual Queen, formerly known to you and I as Camilla Parker-Bowles, not to mention the head of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) Deborah Jevans. But despite the prestige of it all, BBC Sport pointed out that Hugh seemingly couldn't resist nodding off in the July sun, which his fans are now describing as a complete mood… It's all got a bit too much for Hugh Grant 😴😂# — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 9, 2025 Mood — Pierig (@Mister_ig) July 10, 2025 King of IDGAF and I love that about him 😭😭😭 — FeelingDizi (@feelingdizi) July 10, 2025 I cannot 🤭🤭🤭He was seated behind Camilla at the Royal Box area OMG 😆 — Peppermintpex (@peppermintpex) July 10, 2025 I'm so in love with him — Mollie Goodfellow (@hansmollman) July 9, 2025 obsessed w him — 𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 ⋆｡☆ ˚₊ (@harrysinmyhouse) July 10, 2025 he remains the realest. love him so much — tom cruise's uggs (@Lucia_Bell) July 10, 2025 Me as soon as my old ass sit down anywhere: — Mo Kanla Don (@_Mokanla) July 9, 2025 me in a team's meeting — 𝔠 (@cinematicunts) July 10, 2025 so unserious get back to bed — president eyebrows (@nicholui) July 10, 2025 Each day I find new reasons to both love and relate to Hugh Grant. — Em (@EmilyJBashforth) July 9, 2025 Overdid the "dancing" earlier — RedJD77-78-81-84-05-19 (@RedsfanJD) July 9, 2025 Nodding Hill.. — Fin Shearer (@finshearer) July 9, 2025 — 😈🐶 (@wiwowi__) July 10, 2025 Hugh Grant waking up to see he's been caught napping in the Royal Box at Wimbledon... — AntiDanGuy (@17Prguy) July 9, 2025 We should point out that the Bafta winner didn't spend the whole thing dozing behind his sunglasses, though, with other pictures taken on the day showing him enthusiastically getting into the game (or, at least, enthusiastically by Hugh Grant's usual standards). HuffPost UK has contacted Hugh Grant's team for comment. One of our favourite things about Wimbledon has always been spying which random celebrities have been seated near one another in the Royal Box, and this year provided us with some real doozies. During the first days of the tournament, Glastonbury headliner Olivia Rodrigo was seen chatting away to Olympian Tom Daley at Wimbledon, while seated next to former WWE star John Cena. This week also saw Sir Ian McKellen catching up on the action through his binoculars, while sharing the Royal Box with the likes of Richard E Grant, Helen Hunt, Sienna Miller and Katherine Jenkins. Other guests watching the tournament have included the newly-appointed Sir David Beckham and Sir Gareth Southgate, Marvel star Tom Holland, married couple Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas (who watched next to Mamma Mia!'s Dominic Cooper) and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.

Ask Rachel: I've got erectile dysfunction. Should I invite another man into our marriage?
Have a sex or relationship question? Ask Rachel about it using the form below or email askrachel@ Dear Rachel, I am a 66-year-old man who suffers from erectile dysfunction (ED). I have tried every treatment out there, but nothing works. I have noticed that my wife and I are starting to argue more frequently over the slightest of things – we have been married for 47 years and I am wondering could it be frustration on behalf of my wife. It has got to the stage where I am wondering if I should consider bringing another man in to do what I can't. I have not discussed this with my wife and I really do not know how she will take it. I would appreciate your advice. - Anon Dear Anon, When Princess Diana said there were three of us in the marriage and so 'it was a little bit crowded' she was of course speaking of Prince Charles' outside ride with the love of his life Camilla Parker-Bowles. The existence of Mrs Parker-Bowles, now Queen, caused Di exquisite agony and humiliation and the rest was tragedy (for her, I should say). Times have changed. We have (I am using the royal 'we' here) the throuple, a perfectly hideous word for an arrangement whereby instead of there being a couple on a bicycle made for two pedalling away, there are three. In a gay relationship, the third wheel is always male; in a lesbian one, female; but in a straight relationship, the unicorn can be either – which I find puzzling. I find it hard to imagine that some red-blooded beefy Englishman would enjoy sharing his wife and bed with another bloke, but then maybe I have lived a sheltered life (one of my favourite jokes? Question: 'What's the difference between a straight man and a gay man?' Answer: 'About two pints of lager.' Boom boom!) In the West End play, called Unicorn starring Stephen Mangan and Nicole Walker as the stale married couple, the unicorn is a younger woman (Erin Doherty, who played Princess Anne in the Crown). I find that easier to imagine, for some reason, maybe as I've always wanted a wife myself. Now, in your case, you talk about importing a male like a stallion, to mount and dismount her, and then return to the stables. It strikes me that this is an attempt to control the situation in case she is tempted to get her oats elsewhere after 47 years of chomping from the same nosebag. No? Marian O'Connor reminds you that Viagra doesn't work without desire and sex is more than an erect member. 'Love making is not just about sexual intercourse. It's about talking, kissing, caressing – all of which stimulate the production of oxytocin, the 'love hormone.' Many couples enjoy a fantastic sex life without penetration.' As for remedies, she doesn't think a sex stud is the answer, and nor do I. You can't Deliveroo sex to someone else. 'If she really misses penetration, you could try a penile vacuum pump on yourself or buy a dildo.' O'Connor also says you may need to invest in some couple therapy which brings us to the Perls, a couple who work as a couple with couples. They cut to the chase. 'Is this a physical issue or a psychological issue? Does he masturbate, does he get an erection if he watches porn or gets turned on in some other way? If the answer is yes then this would point to psychological issues that need addressing with effective psychosexual therapy along with his wife,' they recommend. 'If the answer is no, then maybe he has a physical issue underlying his ED that needs further medical investigation.' The Perls think your stud suggestion is a bit 'out there' too unless of course you are nursing cuckolding as a fetish – I am going to do a column on this soon, as we have heard the first cuckoo – and this would scratch that itch. The Perls go on to say that opening up a relationship is high risk. Boundaries can be torched by the fiery breath of passion as 'emotions are not always subject to willpower alone,' they warn. 'We have worked with a number of couples where emotional infatuation or limerence developed despite prior agreements, leading to significant and ongoing relational difficulties.' They say it's rare that both parties in a marriage are equally as enthusiastic to opening things up, and then when one of them develops feelings for the person outside the marriage 'that's when the wheels come off the bus'. I've just re-read your letter again and you know and I know it's a mad plan. If your wife wants action outside the marriage, she will go get it herself and you can't order it in like a burger on Just Eat. Dear Rachel, Rebecca* and I have been dating since 2008. We are in our 60s. We live separately. We have a great sex life, toys, lots of inhibition, we have made videos, we have sex every time we meet. We want to try a threesome (ffm) and possibly a group, Genevieve has hinted at this only in jokes, as I have. I think she wants to try but I don't know how to arrange it. What must we do? - Denis* Dear Denis, I admit I had to work out what 'ffm' meant– it's two females and a male, as per Unicorn, above. Are you asking me how you organise a threesome? My husband would howl with laughter but as you ask, I did mention a while ago an app called Feeld which covers the waterfront: it describes itself as 'for the curious' and its users are those open to experiencing polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, homo- and heteroflexibility, pansexuality, asexuality, aromanticism, voyeurism, and kink. Sounds as if it is right up your strasse. It could be that talking about a threesome is only something she articulates because she thinks it's something that you fantasise about, having two women at the same time, and she does it to light your fire. If she's serious, I see no harm in arranging it via a willing third party. On a side note, I'm sure many of my readers are thinking what a lusty pair you are. So many of my correspondents write in as one or both have lost that loving feeling. I wonder whether you are keeping the old soufflé so high and puffy and hot because you live apart? It would seem so from my reading of the work of Esther Perel (her seminal work is Mating in Captivity) as she says if a pair bonded couple live together a relationship can slip from sexual and emotional to fraternal and companionable as you trolley around supermarkets, pay the bills and put out the bins. If you do try a threesome (sounds old-fashioned now, that word) do read the Perls' wise words, above, as sex can annoyingly lead to feelings of being in love. Which can be very disruptive. In short, I'm not sure three is the magic number for either of today's honoured correspondents. *Names have been changed

Today in History: Prince Charles marries Camilla Parker Bowles
Today is Wednesday, April 9, the 99th day of 2025. There are 266 days left in the year. Today in history: On April 9, 2005, Britain's Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, who took the title Duchess of Cornwall. Also on this date: In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia after four years of Civil War in the United States. In 1939, Marian Anderson performed a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., after the Black singer was denied the use of Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

In 1959, NASA introduced the 'Mercury Seven,' its first seven astronauts: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Donald 'Deke' Slayton. In 1968, funerals, private and public, were held for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church and Morehouse College in Atlanta, five days after the civil rights leader was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. In 2003, Baghdad fell to American troops during the Iraq War after six days of fighting. In 2018, federal agents raided the office of President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, seizing records on matters including a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Charles and Camilla are proof that if you stick at it, second marriages can work
It's hard to think of a British family that hasn't been affected by infidelity and divorce in some way. Three of my good friends' marriages have collapsed in messy circumstances in recent years. And I'm only too aware that the success of my parents' 24-year marriage – until death did them part – was founded on the fact that my father had left at least one marriage, more likely two, behind him (the less documented one was in Greece during the 1940s) and at least two other children, probably more. Was my dad a good or bad husband? The answer is surely both. My four siblings and I wouldn't have existed without his errant ways. Which takes us to the highest-profile second marriage in the land. This Wednesday marks 20 years since Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles at Windsor Guildhall, followed by a blessing ceremony at St George's Chapel with an act of penitence, where the couple acknowledged their 'sins and wickedness'. There were some who would have liked to see them crawl on broken glass to Canterbury for having restarted their youthful love affair once wed to other people – but two decades is an awfully long time to maintain that level of hyperventilating self-righteousness. You would hope, by now, that pretty much everyone agrees that this septuagenarian couple have earned their marital happiness and have demonstrated that second-attempt marriages can be models of steadfastness, despite the waywardness that may have preceded them. If you're a dyed-in-the-wool romantic, as I am, it's inspiring to see that heartbreak and errors of judgment need not be repeated. Samuel Johnson famously said of second marriages that they were the 'triumph of hope over experience', but fascinatingly the stats in the UK show the very reverse. According to the last census, 42 per cent of first marriages in the UK end in divorce, but only 31 per cent of second ones. Relationship counsellors speculate that this has much to do with the age, wisdom and tolerance of the participants. Equally interesting is the fact that this appears to be a very British phenomenon. In the US, about 60 per cent of second-time-round couples find themselves divorced yet again. Which left me wondering whether the Yanks treat marriage like they do businesses, attaching far less stigma to bankruptcy and the concept of rising phoenix-like from the flames, again and yet again. As Hillary Clinton said of Donald Trump in 2016: 'You've taken business bankruptcies six times.' Maybe that formula works for ruthless entrepreneurs, but when you attach it to wedlock, it's a different business. Just look at Trump's third wife (and, Lord knows, what number consort), Melania. Does she look as contented with her spouse as twinkly eyed Queen Camilla does? I think not. I was intrigued to learn when talking last week to the American psychiatrist Scott Haltzman, the author of The Secrets of Surviving Infidelity, that one key piece of advice to couples who seek counselling over the issue is to ask their therapist how many times they themselves have been married. He says if it's more than twice, strike them off your list because their insights may be greater on things that fall apart, rather than stick. And one thing you can say about Charles and Camilla is that the glue of mutual attraction has stuck fast, despite breaks and hiatuses, since first meeting at that fateful polo match in 1970. Having reached an age where divorced friends and members of my family are introducing new partners to their children and intimate circles, it's uplifting to have our King and Queen as beacons of hope for redemption.
