bitchy | Prince Harry & King Charles met for tea at Clarence House for 55 minutes

Honestly, I believed that Prince Harry and King Charles would meet at some point this week. I realized that it would happen when I noticed that Harry had not said one word (one way or the other) about meeting his father. If Charles had rejected him or shut down the request, Harry would have called him out publicly yet again. So, long story short, Harry went to Clarence House on Wednesday afternoon. Charles had flown back to London from Balmoral on Wednesday morning. Charles didn’t come back to London solely to meet Harry – Charles has been receiving cancer treatments mid-week in London for the past 18 months or so. That’s why Charles was back in London, but sure, he made a point of having a 55-minute meeting with Harry as well.

Prince Harry and King Charles have reunited. It marks the first time that the father and son have met in person since February 2024, days after King Charles, 76, revealed he was being treated for an undisclosed cancer.

Prince Harry, 40, was seen arriving by car at Clarence House, the King’s London residence, around 5:20 p.m. local time on Sept. 10. He was inside for about 55 minutes before departing.

Following the meeting, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King had a private tea at Clarence House with the Duke of Sussex and said no further details would be shared. A spokesperson for Prince Harry echoed the same, reiterating that father and son met for tea and that there would be no additional comment.

The Duke of Sussex returned to the U.K. on Sept. 8 to support some of his key charities and causes. After arriving in his home country and paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth on the third anniversary of her death on Sept. 8, Harry attended the WellChild Awards. The following day, he traveled to Nottingham, England — about 130 miles north of London — to highlight the work being done for young people there.

The father and son were both in London on Wednesday. The Duke of Sussex visited Imperial College London’s Centre for Blast Injury Studies that day, greeting fans who were waiting outside as he left. Shaking hands and snapping selfies, he excused himself by saying, “I have to go, I’m so late… I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go. Nice to meet you guys,” according to the Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, the King was spotted boarding a plane from Scotland, where he was spending time at Balmoral Castle in recent weeks, to the capital city.

I could not believe the kind of mainstream coverage this got. The Wall Street Journal, WaPo, NBC News, the BBC, Sky News, and more, all providing breathless coverage like it was a 21st century Potsdam. CNN even had “breaking news” coverage with the banner and everything. Anyway, I’m glad they saw each other for the first time in a year and a half. On Harry’s side, I think he just wanted to see his father and be able to hold his only living parent for a brief moment. On Charles’s side, who even knows. I think it was mostly Charles acknowledging that he can’t continue to ignore this huge problem, which is the years-long Sussexit fallout and estrangement. Also: At Harry’s evening event for Invictus (more on that in another post), he was asked about his father by a reporter. Harry said: “Yes, he’s great, thank you.”

I said this on Twitter yesterday, but it’s worth repeating here: we’ve got at least two full weeks of Kensington Palace rage-briefing over this meeting. Plates are being smashed, pillows are being thrown, and there’s enough incandescent rage to power all of the lightbulbs in England.

Trump Met With Boos & Cheers At US Open As Broadcasters Mute Reaction

Despite the United States Tennis Association’s attempt to censor the U.S. Open audience’s reaction to Donald Trump‘s presence at Sunday’s Men’s Final, the stands were filled with a passionate response.

Trump was met with a mix of both boos and cheers as he stepped out from the Rolex Suite at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to greet the crowd gathered to watch Jannik Sinner of Italy take on Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.

According to a pool report, the stadium was around 10 percent full when Trump stepped out from his suite to wave, with no PA announcement preceding his appearance. Meanwhile, the match was delayed by around 30 minutes to accommodate long lines for the beefed-up security presence.

Following a USTA memo sent to ESPN, Sky Sports and more, ABC appeared to mute the audience reaction to Trump, instead playing music over his appearance. The memo asked “all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity.”

Shortly after, Trump was met with a similar reaction from a more filled-out crowd as he stepped out for Sgt. Maj. Carla Loy’s performance of the national anthem. As his face was displayed on the jumbotron during the ‘Star Spangled Banner’, boos broke out from the crowd before cheering again for Loy’s rendition of the anthem.

Between matches, Trump appeared again on the jumbotron for around 20 seconds, during which the audience mostly erupted into more boos, with a few whistles.

Shown on ABC, ESPN Unlimited and other platforms of the sports giant, the dramatic battle between Carlos Alcaraz (who won the U.S. Open title in 2022) and Jannik Sinner (who won Wimbledon two months ago) was set to start at 11 am PT/2 pm ET.

Having won in 2024, Aryna Sabalenka remains the U.S. Open’s women’s champion. The Belarusian player defeated Amanda Anisimova in straight sets earlier today. Sabalenka was applauded and received a standing ovation for her hard fought second consecutive Ashe victory.

Alia Bhatt says ‘fashion is more than just clothes’; opens up about Met Gala, Cannes and iconic red carpet looks | Fashion Trends

Alia Bhatt opens up about her favourite fashion moments, from iconic tributes to Rekha to glamorous red carpets, and how she brings creativity to every look.

Alia Bhatt is an absolute fashionista who has made her mark on the global stage, whether it’s Cannes, Gucci, or the Met Gala, she has proved time and again that the actor remains at the top of the fashion charts. In her September 4 interview with Grazia, she opened up about what draws her to certain events, the people she collaborates with, and how she approaches fashion as more than just a look.

In her latest interview, Alia Bhatt discusses her trust in her creative team and the meaningful connections she forms at global events.

What makes Alia’s red carpet moments so special

Reflecting on her experiences at prestigious events like Gucci shows, the Cannes red carpet, and The Met, Alia explains that these occasions are about far more than fashion. “I truly enjoy every moment of these events,” she says.

Alia adds, “There’s a beautiful kind of chaos, but it’s filled with incredible energy. What makes it even more special is meeting talented women from across the globe, learning about the work they’re doing, and sharing a little bit of yourself in return. It creates a sense of connection that makes the world feel smaller, and that feeling is really wonderful.” For her, these gatherings are not just glamorous outings, they are spaces to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate creativity in all its forms.

How she recreated Rekha’s iconic look

Alia’s approach to fashion is thoughtful, guided by collaborations with people who value storytelling and attention to detail. Whether working with Rhea Kapoor, Anaita Shroff Adajania, or Sabya Mukherjee, she gravitates toward projects that go beyond the surface. “We take pleasure in the little details, whether people get it or not is okay,” she adds.

Her most recent homage to the legendary Rekha highlights this philosophy perfectly. Trusting her team completely, she recreated the iconic look on the day of the screening, embracing both spontaneity and creativity. “I trust my team and people like Rhea blindly; we align on thought which is why we work together,” she says.

Jennifer Aniston Finally Reveals Why She’s Never Attended the Met Gala

Jennifer Aniston has always been the quintessential L.A. girl. From her signature flip flops and tank tops to her sun-kissed bronde hair, she epitomizes what we think of as California style, as eponymous to L.A. as the Dodgers, palm trees, and green juice.

But Aniston has also spent plenty of time on the East Coast New York as well. Whether she’s filming The Morning Show on location or dining out with friends or a rumored new relationship, she’s obviously comfortable navigating New York City.

So, why then, has Jennifer Aniston—one of the biggest TV and movie stars on the planet—never attended fashion’s biggest night? She’s been a staple at the Emmys, the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards, but never the Met Gala, the exclusive annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

“Yes, I have [been invited],” Aniston confirms to Glamour for our September global cover story on the women of The Morning Show. The Emmy-winning actor would no doubt stun in whatever look she’d choose, but says that the thought of posing on and walking those iconic stairs “overwhelms me.”

“I’m a jeans and flip-flop and tank top kind of girl,” Aniston continues. “I love dressing up too, but, for me, it’s a mental game of…put on a fancy dress, makeup, get your hair all purdy and go sit in a big room with your peers. [And yes,] everyone’s there to celebrate each other and have some fun, but I get nervous.”

It’s understandable. And Aniston’s not alone. Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Angelina Jolie, Annette Bening, and many more A-listers (including, interestedly enough, Brad Pitt) have never attended the annual gala chaired, of course, by Condé Nast Chief Content Office and Vogue Global Editorial Director, Anna Wintour.

“I even get a little anxious about public speaking, especially over the years of having your words twisted and taken out of context,” Aniston says. “So, I find myself almost hall monitoring myself in a weird way.”

Even so, Aniston says she still appreciates the red carpet, even if her Morning Show character, Alex Levy, has a certain disdain for it. “I don’t feel [the same way Alex does].” Still, “some people find it like a sport where they build you up and then they love to tear you down. What’s the reason why people do it? Who knows? But I just try as best I can [to tune it out] because it doesn’t do you any good.”

Still, that’s not to say Aniston won’t ever walk those famous stairs. But her decision not to attend is one of the many reasons we love the former Friends star; she stays true to herself, flip flops and all.

EXCLUSIVE: Divyaa Agarwal Recalls Losing Faith In God Until She Met Husband Apurva Padgaonkar; Reveals Her Biggest Wish This Ganesh Chaturthi

Ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi 2025, Divyaa Agarwal revealed her biggest wish for the year. She recalled how her husband, Apurva Padgaonkar, helped her believe in faith once again.

In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Divyaa Agarwal opened up on her bond with paps. She remembers how she lost faith in devotion, God after her father passed away. The Splitsvilla fame in a fun segment decorated Gnpati Bappa’s Sthan Path. Scroll down to read more.

Divyaa Agarwal On Her Bond With Paps

When asked about her bond with the paps, Divyaa Agarwal said, “I think mera na kuch alag hi rishta hai paps ke saath. It’s very nice. They have always been very nice to me. Mere Splitsvilla ke career jab start hua tha, jab main paps se pehli baar introduce hui thi, tab se hi relation bahut accha hai. And now also, because of the wedding, Apurva’s (Padgaonkar) nature is very much like that — usko sabse zyada logon se baat karna pasand hai. Unko bas waise hi accha lagta hai agar koi puch le. So it’s just nice, you know.”

Divyaa Agarwal Recalls Childhood Memories Of Ganesh Chaturthi

Speaking about her childhood memories of Ganesh Chaturthi, the Splitsvilla fame said, “Dekho, bachpan se hi na, humein do religions ki padhai, matlab shiksha, mummy ne di thi. She was a Sikh, and my dad was a Hindu. Toh dono dharm humein equally sikhaye gaye, aur dono hi humne bahut achhe se nibhaaye. So we are excited about everything related to these two religions. That has always been very nice. Lekin jab dad ki death hui, tab ek complete disconnect ho gaya.”

She added, “I lost that connection, completely disconnected. I think more than 2–2.5 years tak main dekhti tak nahi thi. Bas mann hi nahi karta tha. And it was coming very naturally. Phir connection wapas aaya when Apurva first time mujhe bina bataye Goa ke Shantadurga temple le gaya. Wahan se phir sab wapas aaya. Mangeshi, Shantadurga saare temples kiye, aur phir woh feeling wapas aa gayi. Since then, actually mera connection aur deeper aur better ho gaya. Mujhe lagta hai kahi na kahi Apurva ka meri life mein aana ek spiritual reason bhi tha. Ganpati hum shuru se rakhte the, par ab jo feeling hai woh alag hi dikhti hai.”

Divyaa Reveals Her Biggest Wish

Divyaa revealed her biggest desire for this year, “I think I just want happiness yaar. Usse badi cheez zindagi mein hai hi nahi. You know, there is nothing more than that. Happiness tops everything. Jahaan rahun, jaise bhi rahun bas khush rahun.”

Ganesh Chaturthi begins this year on 27th August. The visarjan date is on 6th September.
