Details On Winston Hunter’s Tragic Passing

According to PEOPLE, on Oct. 14, Michael Thomas Lloyd pleaded guilty to the May 2022 drive-by shooting, which claimed the life of 6-year-old Winston Hunter. Two other men involved, Jeremiah Harley and Ethan Anderson, also admitted to the murder in 2024 and are now serving life sentences without parole. Lloyd and his crew allegedly fired at least 21 bullets into Winston Hunter’s home. Winston was lying on the couch watching TV when gunfire reportedly struck him in the head and wrist. First responders arrived shortly after, but found Winston dead at the scene. Prosecutors said Lloyd confessed to opening fire on the home because he thought it belonged to a drug dealer. Investigators recovered three firearms during the case, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division confirmed the weapons matched the shell casings found at the scene.

Here’s How Cops Tracked Down The Men Behind The Deadly Shooting

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage that showed a light-colored sedan speeding to and from the neighborhood around the time of the shooting. After the video circulated publicly, the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from law enforcement in Ontario County, New York. Officers there pulled over a car that matched the description and detained two suspects, per WLTX.

Winston’s Family Breaks Silence During Michael Thomas Lloyd’s Sentencing

According to ABC News 4, Winston’s mother, Courtney Hunter, opened up about her son’s tragic death. She told the courtroom during Michael Thomas Lloyd’s sentencing that losing her baby has left her heartbroken. “We’ll never be able to spend time or make memories with him again,” Courtney reportedly said. In addition, 911 calls captured Courtney screaming after the shooting, saying, “They shot my baby.” Furthermore, Courtney added that the only graduation photo she will ever have of Winston was from his kindergarten graduation, which was allegedly taken just six days before he was killed in the shooting.

Just in time for Halloween 2025, the season 13 cast of American Horror Story was unveiled, and fans will see some of Hollywood’s biggest stars step into the terrifying universe. Ariana Grande and Jessica Lange were revealed as new cast members in the upcoming season, leaving fans speculating what they could be playing.

Here, Hollywood Life has rounded up all the details that we know so far about season 13 of AHS.

American Horror Story Season 13 Cast: Who Is Starring in the Show?

In addition to Ariana and Jessica, the rest of the season 13 AHS cast will feature Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman.

Creator Ryan Murphy’s production company’s Instagram page announced the casting news on October 31, 2025.

Jessica’s casting was a surprise to viewers since the actress previously said she wouldn’t return to the series.

“Oh Christ, no,” she said in February 2025 in response to a question about her possible return. “I mean, I haven’t done it for more than 10 years, 12 years, so, no, I’m not doing it.”

Ariana’s casting is also a shakeup for horror fans. After all, many have seen her as Glinda in both Wicked movies. So, many are curious what role the Nickelodeon alum could step into in AHS.

When Is the American Horror Story Season 13 Release Date?

According to Ryan’s Instagram page, season 13 of AHS is expected to premiere in one year from now: October 31, 2026.

What Is the Premise for AHS Season 13?

The exact plot details of season 13 have not been revealed yet. Since fans know the show is an anthology, they’ve seen the series take place in various settings, from Coven to Apocalypse.

Ryan seemed open to fans’ opinions about where future seasons could be set. In 2021, he held an online poll via his Instagram Stories, asking AHS viewers to vote on themes for upcoming seasons. Some weighed in asking for mermaids and sea sirens, a Wild West backdrop, Salem, Bloody Mary and a plague.

Kim Kardashian invited to NASA launch after moon landing conspiracy claims - National

Kim Kardashian invited to NASA launch after moon landing conspiracy claims – National

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The U.S. space agency NASA is rejecting conspiracy claims by Kim Kardashian that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landings did not happen.

In the most recent episode of her family’s hit reality show, The Kardashians, Kardashian says she thinks the pivotal lunar expedition was a hoax, citing a series of articles that, she claims, explain why some aspects of the footage and photographs taken on the moon are unreliable.

Shortly after the episode aired, NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy rebuked Kardashian, writing to her in a post on X, “Yes, we’ve been to the Moon before… 6 times!”

Story continues below advertisement

Kardashian responded to his post, saying, “Wait…. what’s the tea on 3I Atlas?!?!!!!!!!?????,” an interstellar comet, which, according to astronomers, is the third-ever object from outside our solar system to pass through our “celestial neighbourhood.”

Duffy replied with an invitation to the launch of NASA’s Artemis mission to the moon at Kennedy Space Center.

“We love your excitement about our Artemis mission to the Moon. You’re officially invited to launch at Kennedy Space Center!” he wrote.

Conspiracy theories that the moon landings did not take place have existed for decades, despite being consistently debunked.

In the episode, Kardashian can be seen showing actor Sarah Paulson — with whom she is co-starring in the upcoming Ryan Murphy legal drama “All’s Fair” — a quote from an interview with Buzz Aldrin, who, along with Neil Armstrong, took the first steps on the moon.

“There was no scary moment because it didn’t happen. It could’ve been scary, but it wasn’t because it didn’t happen,” she reads, “he says it all the time in interviews,” she added, “maybe we should find Buzz Aldrin.”

Kardashian was referring to a comment Aldrin made during a 2015 talk at the Oxford University Students’ Union, when he responded to a student’s question about the Apollo 11 mission.


“What was the scariest moment of the journey?” the student asked.

“Scariest? It didn’t happen,” Aldrin answered, smiling. “It could’ve been scary. Circuit breaker,” he says, before the moderator asks: “The circuit breaker on the [indecipherable]?”

“I’m glad somebody helps me,” Aldrin said, before continuing. “We came back inside after kicking up dust and picking up some rocks and of course, we had to send them up the ladder because that would be hazardous, carrying a big rock box up the ladder.”

He said the crew and team had thought of that plan ahead of time, and that Aldrin got into the cabin first so that his colleagues could hand the rock box up to him.

“Then we were supposed to tidy up and tidy up means get rid of stuff you don’t need so we won’t be as heavy to lift off,” he said, describing the process of pressurizing and depressurizing the cabin and hooking up to the spacecraft system, and how crews back on the ground said they could hear the crew through the seismographer that recorded the vibrations of sounds “bouncing around on the moon.”

He then described how the crew settled back into the cabin, and noticed something in the dust of the rocks they had been collecting.

“There was something that didn’t look like it belonged there. It was a circuit breaker — a broken circuit breaker, the end of it,” he said.

“Engine arm,” Aldrin added the label on the breaker said, which was for the system used for the landing engine. “That’s the one that gets us back in orbit and gets us home.”

He then said he “used a pen to push it in,” and then called it a “piece of cake.”

Later, during a scene back in her trailer, Kardashian tells a crew member behind the camera, “I centre conspiracies all the time,” before elaborating on her disbelief, saying that no stars are visible in any of the photographic evidence captured from the landing — a popular argument from skeptics, according to the Institute of Physics.

There is a simple explanation for the lack of stars, the institute says: the photos were taken during the day.

“This meant starlight lost the battle against the very bright surface of the Moon, too dim to show up in photos,” its website says.

According to the institute, every conspiracy theory claiming that the moon landings were fake has been disproven.

Often, the expert organization argues, those who claim the landings were staged say the U.S. government faked Apollo 11 and later missions to deal a crucial blow to the USSR in the Space Race, boost NASA funding or divert attention away from the Vietnam War.

Appearance doesn’t define your worth

Jonathan Van Ness has insisted he is still “all about body neutrality” after losing 70lbs.

Jonathan Van Ness has lost 70lbs

The Queer Eye star has shed the pounds after turning to a weight-loss medication but he’s responded to critics who have claimed he is “not a body positive person anymore” and insisted people are always “worth love and celebration”, regardless of their shape or size.

He said in a TikTok video: “I’ve lost 70 pounds in the last year and [there has been] so much conversation around my weight loss.”

Referencing the “gigantic conversation” about his outlook, he continued: “What do you mean? I’m all about body neutrality.

“The way that you look does not define your worth, doesn’t define your lovableness. You are worth love and worth celebration no matter what your body looks like.

“That’s what’s so important is that we are all worthy of love. We’re all worthy of celebrating.”

The Getting Curious podcaster began using the medication as a result of a health scare back in 2023.

He said: “I decided then that after the medical issue, I was going to get a colonoscopy, and if I didn’t have anything severely wrong with me, I was going to go on a GLP-1, because I just didn’t feel good.”

And now, while Jonathan has always “felt cute”, he feels “good” too thanks to his body transformation.

He said: “As I’ve lost weight and I got into [Pilates classes at] Solidcore, my body has never looked like this.

“My body’s never in my whole life—I’ve always wanted to have an ab. I’ve never had abs. And I feel really good, so I’m taking my shirt off a lot.

“I just want to get one thing straight: I was always really cute, and I always felt cute, but I just didn’t feel good. And now I feel good.

“I feel like a f****** minx right now. When I’m 80, I want to see pictures of me when I was in my 30s looking cute. So, that’s why the top’s off, because I feel really cute.”

The 38-year-old hairstylist previously credited the medication for helping him get his binge eating disorder under control.

He said in a previous TikTok video: “I, for the first time in my life, got control over my food intake. It helped me so massively, and that’s part of why I wanna be honest with you about it because I know how important asking for help is, and how much asking for help can change your life in terms of healing.

“I needed help.”

written by jummy84

Becky G is grateful for this rare gem of a friendship.

The Encuentros singer gushed over her bond with Selena Gomez and the comforting lesson she’s learned from her. 

“She’s been so authentic throughout her journey,” Becky, 28, exclusively told E! News at the TIME100 Next Gala on Oct. 30, where she was honored as a rising star. “We live in a time, especially when you’ve existed in an industry since a young age, where a lot of people try to tell you who you are. And that journey of finding your voice and becoming who you’ve always been on the inside is not an easy one.”

Indeed, the Revival singer, 33, has been vocal about finding her identity—both as a singer and a mental health advocate—over the last decade of her career. And for Becky (real name Rebbeca Marie Gomez), seeing Selena embrace that level of her self-love journey is inspiring. 

“She’s been very courageous with that, and that’s something that I admire so much about her,” she continued. “She’s such a beautiful person inside and out.”

Gayle King Pushes Back at Reports She’s Leaving CBS Mornings

Gayle King is setting the record straight after reports surfaced claiming she was preparing to leave CBS Mornings.

Speaking outside the network’s New York studio on October 31, 2025, King told TMZ that the chatter about her future doesn’t match what she’s been told internally. While she didn’t fully rule out the possibility of eventually moving on, she made it clear that—for now—she’s focused on her current role.

“I’m here now and intend to keep doing my job,” King said.

CBS News also weighed in on the rumors, shutting down claims that she’s planning an imminent exit.

“There have been no discussions with Gayle about her contract that runs through May 2026,” a CBS spokesperson told TMZ. “She’s a truly valued part of CBS and we look forward to engaging with her about the future.”

The response follows widespread speculation about King’s long-term plans with the morning show, which she has co-anchored for years. For now, King says she’s focused on staying present—despite the headlines suggesting otherwise.

bitchy | Charles Spencer on his 1997 eulogy for Diana: I realized I had ‘to speak for’ Diana

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Before today, I’ve never searched out the video of Charles Spencer (the Earl of Spencer) eulogizing his late sister at her 1997 funeral. The eulogy is seared into the collective consciousness of my generation and the older generations – a young earl from one of the oldest noble families in England, telling the Windsors to their ugly faces that they mistreated his sister, Lady Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales. He made it clear that Diana’s blood was on their hands, and on the hands of the British media. Obviously, the Windsors have quietly ensured, over the course of decades, that few clean copies of that video remain online. Here’s one I could find, which is pretty poor quality.

My favorite part is still: “Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity. All over the world, a standard bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality. Someone with a natural nobility who was classless and who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic.”

Over the years, Charles Spencer has spoken about eulogizing Diana and acting as caretaker to her memory. Especially in the American media, people will always ask him about Diana and that eulogy. But before now, I’ve never heard him speak about how it was decided that he should speak, and how he decided what he would say. He spoke about it on Gyles Brandreth’s podcast:

Charles Spencer is revealing new details about his original eulogy for Princess Diana. The 9th Earl Spencer, 61, said that the eulogy he’d initially planned for his late sister’s funeral was “very different” from what he eventually read.

“I flew back [to the U.K.] – I was living in South Africa – I flew back from Cape Town overnight. [I had a] very sweet stewardess help me, because I was in bits,” Spencer said on the Oct. 24 episode of Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast. He further explained that he initially searched for someone else who could give the eulogy. “I had a big, thick address book, and I thought, ‘I want to find someone who’s going to make the speech for her.’ And I got to ‘Z’ and I hadn’t found anyone,” Spencer recalled.

“[I] got off the plane in Heathrow [Airport], called my mother, I said, ‘I can’t think who’s going to give the eulogy. And I’ve got an awful feeling it’s going to have to be me,’ ” he continued. “And she said, ‘Well, it is going to be you. Your sisters and I have decided it.’ ”

When he started putting together the tribute, Spencer said, “[It was a] very traditional eulogy, almost … ‘She was very good at this as a child’ and all that. And then I thought, ‘Well, this is ridiculous, that’s not who she was.’ ” He said he then “realized” his job in that moment wasn’t to speak about Diana, but to “speak for” his late sister, who died at age 36 after a car crash in Paris in August 1997.

“And I knew I’d been left at that stage – it had no legal standing – but I knew she’d left me as guardian of her sons,” he continued, referring to his nephews, Prince William and Prince Harry. “Obviously, the other parent being alive, that meant nothing, but it meant something to me,” said Spencer. “That sort of duty, I think. And then I wrote it in an hour and a half and, yeah, that was it, really.”

[From People]

“I knew she’d left me as guardian of her sons. Obviously, the other parent being alive, that meant nothing, but it meant something to me.” Referring to the current king as “the other parent” is amazing and Diana would laugh her ass off at that. Something which really struck me as I read Prince Harry’s Spare is how much it meant to him that the Spencers really did stick by him and they were always there for him in a way the Windsors probably weren’t. I really wish Meghan had worn the Spencer tiara for the wedding. She and Harry probably felt like they couldn’t say no to QEII, but they should have.

Charles Spencer speaks about how he approached his sister Diana’s eulogy – knowing it was his duty to speak for her and protect her boys. It’s a shame nothing could save Willy; he turned out a sociopath. The Spencers have certainly been Harry’s rock.😍

NLE Choppa Apparently Shades NBA YoungBoy, His Mom Reacts

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Something’s stirring in the rap world, and it’s got fans clutching their phones and watching timelines like a movie. A new music video from NLE Choppa just dropped, and it’s got everyone talking — especially fans of NBA YoungBoy, who think the visuals hit a little too close to home. So does Sherhonda Gaulden, YoungBoy’s outspoken mom, and she has officially entered the chat!

Chileee… NLE Might’ve Thrown A Whole Lotta Shade

In NLE Choppa’s freshly released video for ‘KO,’ the Memphis rapper channels a bold Michael Jackson look over a sample of Tupac’s ‘Hit Em Up.’ But it’s one particular moment that’s set social media ablaze. Midway through the visual, a man resembling NBA YoungBoy appears crouched down on a checkerboard floor, dressed in a black hoodie and sweatpants with locks and face tattoos that fans immediately recognized. As NLE stands over him rapping, the internet couldn’t help but call it a sneak diss, claiming the scene symbolically mocked YoungBoy.

Sherhonda Stepped In Like, “Let’s Get One Thing Straight!”

Not long after the video’s release, Sherhonda Gaulden, NBA YoungBoy’s mother, hopped on her Instagram Stories with what many took as a direct response. Though she didn’t name-drop NLE, her message was loud enough to get everyone talking. Fans are debating whether this was harmless creativity or a calculated jab — but one thing’s for sure, Mama Gaulden isn’t letting anyone play with her son’s name.

“I would be upset if this was coming from someone who matters like someone people actually listen…like someone who is not in the closet,” Sherhonda posted along with clown emojis.

Furthermore, she even returned to her Story, adding a jab, saying NLE can’t fill up an arena.

The Streets Saying It’s Up Now — No Coming Back For Choppa

Whewww, the Shade Room comment section did not disappoint this time! As soon as clips from the video hit the timeline, fans flooded the comments with their takes — some saying, “NLE, not today!” while others joked that NBA YoungBoy was probably watching with a grin, ready to go in. Meanwhile, a few messy folks just grabbed their popcorn and typed, “Let the rap beef begin!” — and honestly, that might be exactly where this is headed.

One Instagram user @1017timdadon said, “Why y’all wanna wake yb back up he been doing good 😂”

This Instagram user @loui_lex added, “Yb diss song finna be so hard im ready 😂💚🔥”

And, Instagram user @_majollie__ wrote, “His momma gon ride for him to the tombs & caskets ⚰️ love that slimeretta 💚”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @duvalpromo shared, “We ain’t gone act like buddy can’t rap ppl just made it’s YB 🤣🤣🤣 he should’ve sat this one out 😂😂”

While Instagram user @kweenmocha joked, “YB gonna wake up with a smile sent straight from h*ll 😂”

Lastly, Instagram user @lenahna said, “One thing she don’t play about is her son lol“

How Prince Harry & Meghan Are Shielding Archie & Lilibet From The Spotlight – Hollywood Life

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Image Credit: Generated by Gemini

It’s the central paradox of their new life: two of the most famous people in the world are desperately trying to give their children a normal existence. When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle traded the ancient castles of the UK for the sunny hills of Montecito, California, it wasn’t just a personal choice—it was the opening move in a high-stakes battle to control their family’s narrative and safety (Vogue, 2020). Since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, they have built a fortress of privacy around their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, making them two of the most protected and thus fascinating kids on the planet.

The global fascination with the Sussex children is immense. As seen recently, when a rare glimpse of them in a TV special sparked a worldwide social media debate over their hair color, every tiny detail becomes a major news event (ABC News, 2025). This intense scrutiny highlights the core question of their parents’ mission: how have the Sussexes built such a private sanctuary around their children in a world of constant surveillance and digital exposure? More importantly, what can you learn from their fight as a parent navigating your family’s digital life?

The Montecito Fortress: A New Model for Royal Life

The first step in protecting Archie and Lilibet was a physical one—a 6,000-mile move across the Atlantic. By relocating to California, the couple created a new model for raising royal children based on personal control rather than public obligation. This carefully constructed life is a blend of high-level security and calculated moments of normalcy.

Escaping the Royal Fishbowl

The move to Montecito was a deliberate choice for a simpler lifestyle far from the rigid structures and expectations of the British monarchy. According to their neighbor, journalist Richard Mineards, their life is controlled but also allows for moments of quiet freedom (New York Post, 2025). Mineards has described seeing Harry on solo bike rides and the couple strolling the shoreline, suggesting a carefully managed existence prioritizing peace over pageantry. This starkly contrasts life within the Royal Family, where every outing is a potential photo opportunity. However, security remains their top priority; Prince Harry’s ongoing legal battle over security arrangements with the UK government underscores his position that bringing his children to his home country is entirely dependent on their safety being guaranteed.

The Art of the Controlled Reveal

Instead of battling the press, the Sussexes have chosen to bypass it. They famously rejected the traditional royal rota system, where a pool of UK media outlets has guaranteed access to royal events. In its place, they’ve implemented a strategy of releasing photos and information strictly on their own terms. Whether it’s an official portrait for a birthday, a family holiday card, or an announcement on their Archewell website, they control the image, the timing, and the narrative. The recent online debate over Archie and Lilibet’s hair, sparked by photos in a Disneyland special, perfectly illustrates why this approach is so necessary for them (People, 2025). When even the smallest detail can cause a global media frenzy, controlling the source of information is their most powerful defensive tool.

Waging a Legal War on the Press

Beyond their physical fortress in California, Prince Harry and Meghan have erected a legal one. Their aggressive strategy against media intrusion is a core pillar of their children’s protection plan, signaling a dramatic break from royal tradition and a willingness to fight back in court.

‘Never Complain, Never Explain’ Is Over

The old royal mantra of stoic silence in the face of negative press is officially dead. Prince Harry is engaged in multiple, high-profile lawsuits against tabloid publishers like Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail. The allegations are severe, including claims of phone-hacking, hiring private investigators, and other unlawful information-gathering techniques. In a move that demonstrates his unwavering commitment to this cause, Harry has even implicated his own family in court documents, alleging that Prince William and Princess Catherine were also victims of illegal spying (People, 2025). Harry sends a clear message by taking on the powerful British press: the harassment stops here.

A Battle for Future Generations

These legal battles are not just about settling personal grievances. For the Sussexes, they represent an attempt to set a new precedent for how the press treats public figures and, most importantly, their children. They fundamentally challenge the unspoken contract between the monarchy and the media, arguing that privacy should not be the price of public service. Their approach marks a radical departure from the status quo, as seen in this comparison.

TacticThe Traditional Royal ApproachThe Sussex Strategy
Media EngagementCooperative relationship with the Royal Rota for guaranteed access.Limited, direct engagement; releasing content via their own channels.
Responding to IntrusionHistorically, never complain, never explain. Ignore negative stories.Aggressive legal action; suing publishers for privacy violations.
Children’s First PhotosOfficial, staged photo calls on the hospital steps or at christenings.Private photos released on their own time, often for charitable causes.
Primary GoalMaintain a positive public image and uphold tradition.Enforce personal privacy and protect family from media harassment.

Navigating the Digital World: A Blueprint for All Parents

While the Sussexes’ privacy battle plays out on a global stage, the core challenges they face—protecting children from unwanted exposure and online dangers—are universal. Their high-profile fight offers a blueprint for all parents trying to create a safe digital environment for their families.

The Royal Family’s Modern Concerns

The concern over online dangers is a shared, cross-Atlantic issue for the Royal Family. Both King Charles and Prince William have spoken about the negative effects of social media, from the spread of misinformation to increased bullying. In fact, Harry and Meghan have also launched initiatives to protect children online, showing a united front on this modern-day challenge. The urgency is underscored by alarming data: online safety is the top concern for 55% of parents, even more than mental or physical health (ECPAT, 2024). With kids aged 8-18 spending an average of 7.5 hours daily on screens for entertainment, and with 26.5% of U.S. teens reporting being cyberbullied in 2023, the need for proactive protection has never been greater (CDC, n.d.; Bright Path, 2025)

A Parent’s Playbook for Digital Protection

Just like the royals, you can take concrete steps to navigate these challenges. Protecting your children online requires a combination of open dialogue and smart technical safeguards. Here are some best practices every parent can adopt to create a safer digital space for their family.

  • Open Communication: Create a space for children to discuss their good and bad online experiences.
  • Set Digital Boundaries: Establish clear rules for screen time, app usage, and appropriate content.
  • Utilize Parental Controls: Use the built-in features on devices and apps to filter content and manage privacy settings.
  • Teach Digital Literacy: Educate children about online risks, such as phishing, sharing personal information, and the permanence of their digital footprint.
  • Secure Your Network: Implement tools that protect your family’s data from outside threats, especially on public networks.

Taking Control with Digital Tools

While open communication is key, parents also need powerful tools to safeguard their family’s digital life. With concerns about internet safety for kids at an all-time high, services like a VPN (Virtual Private Network) offer a crucial layer of technical protection. A VPN establishes a private, encrypted tunnel for all your internet activity, shielding it from hackers, trackers, and other prying eyes.

IPVanish is designed to make this protection simple for families. When your child is on public Wi-Fi at a café or library, IPVanish encrypts their connection so cybercriminals on the same network can’t steal personal data. It also hides your IP address, preventing websites and advertisers from tracking your family’s location and online habits. This is essential for protecting sensitive information and reducing your children’s exposure to invasive targeted marketing.

Beyond browsing, IPVanish secures everything from video calls for virtual school to online gaming sessions, ensuring private conversations remain private. The ability to protect every device in your home on a single account provides a comprehensive solution for parents looking to create a safer online environment for their children.

The Sussex Legacy: A New Definition of a Royal Childhood

The Sussexes’ strategy to protect their children combines physical relocation, aggressive legal action, and meticulous media management. They have established a firm boundary, demanding a level of privacy unheard of for members of the Royal Family. This has created a new definition of a royal childhood, one shielded from the public gaze and free from the obligations that defined past generations of celebrity children.

The central question remains: Can Archie and Lilibet truly have a normal life? The ongoing debate about their upbringing, including reports that Harry is considering UK schooling, shows their path is still being forged (Daily Express, 2025). However, it is undeniable that their parents’ efforts represent a radical attempt to give them something no modern royal has had before: a choice. Ultimately, the Sussex legacy may not be defined by titles or tradition, but by the new, private boundaries they are fighting so fiercely to draw for their family.

Malala Yousafzai’s mom disapproved of Prince Harry and Sir David Beckham.

Toor Pekai Yousafzai “shoved” the 41-year-old royal’s hand off her 28-year-old daughter’s shoulder when they posed for a photo together at an event.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday (31.10.25), Malala – a female education activist – revealed: “When I met Prince Harry and he put his arm very respectfully around my shoulder for a photograph, my mother goes after him and shoves his hand away!”

At the 2013 Pride of Britain Awards, held in London, England, former professional footballer Sir David Beckham, 50, presented the Teenager of Courage Award to then-17-year-old Malala.

In 2012, the Taliban shot her in the head and neck in an assassination attempt on her way home from school because the Afghan political and militant movement banned women from getting an education.

Malala posed with David after he handed her the accolade to honour her bravery and heroism in campaigning for women’s education in the region.

However, her mom and dad, Ziauddin Yousafzai, went crazy when she posed with the former Manchester United midfielder because of the “disapproval of their conservative relatives”.

However, Malala fired back to her parents, saying: “Firstly, I am 17 and secondly, that’s David Beckham!”

Malala also shared that her parents did not approve of the clothes she wore to university.

She said: “The clothes I wore at university upset them. They were very strict and particularly didn’t like my skinny jeans.”

Malala made history in 2014 at the age of 17 by being the youngest laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting the suppression of children and advocating for children’s right to education.

And her life’s “personal reflections” are documented in Malala’s new memoir Finding My Way.

She said: “It is a coming-of-age story. The most personal reflections I have shared from when I was a lonely student in high school to a reckless college student, and navigating my way as a young woman.

“It is my personal experiences about belonging, friendships, and mental health. My hope is that when someone reads the book, the message is that they are not alone.”

Malala attended secondary school at Edgbaston High School in Birmingham, West Midlands, England, from 2013 to 2017.

And she then secured a place at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, England, to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).

After three years, she graduated in 2020.

Asked about studying in the UK, Malala said: “I felt so lucky that I went to college and completed my degree, and that was the moment I felt I had won. Because the people that tried to silence me and stop me from learning failed, and I completed my education. I have that same dream for all women.”

The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One and iPlayer on Friday October 24 at 10.40pm.
