Prince Harry Denies ‘Physical Fight’ with Prince Andrew and Comments About Meghan Markle in Explosive New Book

Prince Harry Denies 'Physical Fight' with Prince Andrew and Comments About Meghan Markle in Explosive New Book

Samir Hussein/WireImage;Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Prince Harry denies claims he physically fought Prince Andrew at a 2013 family gathering A new book alleges Andrew made critical remarks about Meghan Markle to Harry, which Harry denies The book also claims Prince William seeks to remove Andrew from Royal Lodge amid ongoing family tensions Prince Harryis pushing back on explosive claims in a new book alleging he once got into a physical altercation with his unclePrince Andrew— and thatMeghan Marklewas the subject of behind-the-scenes insults. A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex tells PEOPLE, "I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry." The denial comes in response to a new book,Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which alleges that a "heated argument" between Harry and Andrew broke out at a family gathering in 2013 over "something Andrew said behind Harry's back," reportedly escalating to the point where "punches were thrown" and Andrew was left with a bloody nose. The book also claims that Andrew privately questioned Harry's relationship with Meghan, calling her an "opportunist" and suggesting the marriage wouldn't last. PEOPLE has reached out to the palace for comment. WPA Pool/Getty According to the book by author Andrew Lownie, with an excerpt published in theDaily Mail, tensions between Prince Andrew and both of his nephews have simmered for years. It further alleges thatPrince Williamhas worked behind the scenes to push Andrew out of Royal Lodge, the Windsor estate he continues to occupy, and has privately expressed disdain for Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. The book portrays Andrew as a controversial figure and delves into his ties with convicted sex offenderJeffrey Epstein. Andrew has been largely stripped of official duties and stepped back from public life amid intense scrutiny and reputational damage. The new book marks the latest in a series of controversial publications chronicling the royal family's internal rifts, many of which have only deepened since Harry and Meghan's 2020 decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to California. Mark Cuthbert/UK Press via Getty Harry and Meghan, now raising their two children in Montecito, have largely focused on their philanthropic and entrepreneurial endeavors.

Court limits Trump's asylum crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border

Court limits Trump's asylum crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border

A panel of federal judges on Friday limited President Trump's effort to close theU.S. asylum systemat the southern border, saying his administration can't unilaterally suspend laws that bar the U.S. from deporting migrants to places where they would face persecution or torture. Therulingcenters on a proclamation issued by Mr. Trump just hours after he returned to the White House in January, ordering the closure of theasylum system. U.S. border officials have relied on the order to summarily expel those entering the country illegally, without allowing them to request asylum. Mr. Trump justified the sweeping measure on the grounds that the country is facing an "invasion" of migrants. The three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit lifted its administrative pause on a July ruling from a federal judge who found Mr. Trump's proclamation defied U.S. laws that require the federal government to hear the claims of migrants who want to apply for humanitarian protection out of fear that they could be harmed if deported. That ruling by U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss struck down the Trump administration's asylum ban and would've required officials to stop enforcing it on a legal class comprised of migrants who are or will be in the U.S. While it lifted its stay on Moss' ruling, the D.C. Circuit panel also narrowed his order, limiting the class members eligible for relief to asylum-seekers already on American soil while Mr. Trump's decree is in effect. The appellate court also limited the scope of Moss' ruling, partially granting a request from the Trump administration. The panel allowed the Trump administration to continue using the president's proclamation to deny migrants access to the U.S. asylum system, noting that U.S. law permits, but does not require, the government to grant asylum to those who prove they could be persecuted because of their race, religion, politics or other factors. But the panel also said Mr. Trump's proclamation could not be used to prevent migrants from applying for other forms of humanitarian protections that the U.S. is legally required to give to certain migrants fleeing persecution and torture. They're known as "withholding of removal" and protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. Those protections have a higher legal threshold than asylum, but unlike asylum, they are mandatory, not discretionary, and must be granted to those who meet the requirements. The panel was made up of Circuit Judges Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pillard, who were appointed by former President Barack Obama, as well as Gregory G. Katsas, an appointee of Mr. Trump. Each judge filed their own statements in the case, with Pillard and Katsas disagreeing with some aspects of the ruling. While they had some disagreements, all three judges said Mr. Trump's proclamation could not be used to ignore laws around "withholding of removal" or Convention Against Torture protections. Pillard said she would've also blocked the administration from denying migrants the right to apply for asylum. The judges scheduled expedited proceedings to decide the merits of the case, asking both the government and the advocates challenging Mr. Trump's proclamation to file briefs through Sept. 26. The lawsuit that triggered Friday's decision was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and other advocates, who have denounced the Trump administration's border crackdown as a draconian policy that has sent migrants to harm's way. "The President secured the border in record time at an unprecedented level by using every available legal tool provided by Congress," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told CBS News in a statement on Saturday. "A rogue district judge took those tools away, threatening the safety and security of Americans and ignoring a Supreme Court decision issued only days earlier admonishing district courts for granting nationwide injunctions. The Trump Administration is committed to restoring integrity to our immigration system and to our justice system." Trump administration officials have credited the president's proclamation and other actions — including the deployment of thousands of additional troops to the southern border — for a historic drop in illegal crossings there. In July, just 4,600 migrants were caught crossing the southern border illegally, the lowest monthly tally recorded by Border Patrol and a figure the Biden administration reported daily during many months. While public monthly reports started in fiscal year 2000, annual data suggest the last time Border Patrol had that level of apprehensions was in the 1960s.

Truck located in search for suspect in killing of 4 people at a Montana bar, investigators say

Truck located in search for suspect in killing of 4 people at a Montana bar, investigators say

Investigators searching for a man they say shot and killed four people at a Montana bar Friday morning have located the pickup truck he fled in, but the suspect — believed to be armed and dangerous — remains on the loose, officials said. A white Ford F-150 that Michael Paul Brown drove was found, but Brown "was not located in or around the vehicle," Montana Division of Criminal Investigation Administrator Lee Johnson said at a news conference late Friday. Authorities are now focusing their search in the mountains near Stumptown Road, west of Anaconda, where the shooting took place, Johnson said. A Montana Department of Justice spokesperson said Saturday multiple local, state and federal agencies are searching for Brown on the ground and in the air around Stumptown Road. Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Police Chief Bill Sather on Saturday asked for the public's help and thanked the community for its patience during this stressful time. "We are doing everything we can to find and bring this perpetrator to justice," he said in a video posted on Facebook. "It's OK to go about your business in town but please use caution." The Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center advised the public in aFacebook postto stay out of the area and not to approach Brown. Sather on Saturday asked anyone who sees anything suspicious to alert 911. Anaconda resident Randy Clark, who lives near Highway 1 and Stumptown Road — where the search for Brown is ongoing — filmed a helicopter flying near his home on Saturday morning on the west side of town. Clark, a retired police officer, told CNN a helicopter search happened until after about 11 p.m. on Friday and resumed at about 6 a.m. local time. He said he could hear authorities shouting on Friday, but he couldn't tell if they were yelling at the suspect or communicating with each other. "I heard a bunch of sirens and stuff and saw the state troopers and local police flying down Highway 1, west toward Philipsburg," he said. "(They) stopped directly across from where I live. You could see the blue lights and stuff, everything." The shooting took place at 10:30 a.m. local time at The Owl Bar, and the scene is secure, the Montana DCI said, without providing additional details about what led up to the shooting. Investigators have identified all four victims of the shooting but aren't releasing their names until their families have been notified, Johnson said. Friday's violence is among at least 256 mass shootings in the US so far this year, according to theGun Violence Archive. Cassandra Dutra, a bartender at the Owl Bar for six months, told CNN she feels extremely overwhelmed and sad about the shooting on Friday. "It just isn't real. It's totally overwhelming," she said. She believes every person in the bar at the time of the shooting was killed, which included a bartender who was the only staff member working, and three customers. She said Brown lived next door to the bar and would come in frequently, but noted "he wasn't a part of the camaraderie" existing with the others. Dutra was not working on Friday but she lives near the bar and heard noise during the shooting. At first, she assumed it was coming from construction happening outside the bar. When she heard there was a shooting at the Owl, she did not think it was a dangerous situation where people were hurt. "I didn't immediately panic because I just know the atmosphere in the Owl … it never occurred to me that anybody was hurt," she said. David Gwerder, the owner of The Owl Bar, toldThe Associated Presshe was unaware of any conflicts between Brown and anyone who was in the bar Friday morning. "He knew everybody that was in that bar. I guarantee you that," Gwerder told the AP. "He didn't have any running dispute with any of them. I just think he snapped." CNN has reached out to Gwerder for comment. Clare Boyle, Brown's niece, described her uncle as a veteran who struggled with his mental health in the Army and wasn't the same after his service. Brown served as an armor crewman in the US Army from January 2001 to May 2005 and was deployed to Iraq from February 2004 to March 2005, Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, a spokesperson with the US Army, told CNN in an email Saturday. Brown was then in the Montana National Guard from April 2006 to March 2009, she added. He left military service with the rank of sergeant. Brown's mental health got progressively worse with the passing of both of his parents, Boyle told CNN. She emphasized Brown is a "very sick" person — but that she did have happy memories with her uncle, like when he taught her how to ride a bike and fish. Boyle said she personally feels remorse and heartbreak for all of the families, noting that five families were "destroyed" on Friday. When asked about Brown's mental health history, Castro said the Army was unable to release medical information "due to policy and Privacy Act constraints." Montana Gov. Greg Gianfortesaid on Xhe is "praying for the victims, their loved ones, and the brave law enforcement officers" who responded to the scene. Montana Congressman Ryan Zinkeencouraged peoplein the area to "stay inside and lock their doors." The FBI, the Denver office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Granite County Sheriff's Office said they are assisting with the investigation. This story has been updated with additional information. CNN's Sarah Dewberry, David Williams, Michelle Watson and Jessica Flynn contributed to this report.

George Lopez Calls His Alleged Social Media Ban by the L.A. Dodgers 'Hurtful' (Exclusive)

George Lopez Calls His Alleged Social Media Ban by the L.A. Dodgers 'Hurtful' (Exclusive)

Paul Archuleta/Getty George Lopez — who alleges the L.A. Dodgers banned him on social media — called the response "hurtful" while recently speaking to PEOPLE The comedian has been an outspoken critic of the team's silence on recent ICE raids within the city The Dodgers have not publicly commented on Lopez's ban George Lopezis opening up about his strained relationship with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The lifelong Dodgers fan alleges the team blocked him on social media after he publicly criticized their lack of response toICE raidswithin their home city. Lopez, 64, has consistentlyvoiced outrageover the controversial raids, and previously called on the MLB team to voice their support for immigrants and people of Latino descent within their community. While recently speaking exclusively to PEOPLE atThe Hollywood Reporterand Social Impact Fund's 2025 Social Impact Summit, the comedian admitted that the alleged social media block didn't feel good. "It's hurtful," he told PEOPLE. https://people-app.onelink.me/HNIa/kz7l4cuf On July 12, Lopez posted avideoof himself dancing on Instagram, with the words, "POV: You just got blocked by the Dodgers" written over the footage. "The Dodgers blocked me on social media for my criticism of the team, so they'll take a stand on me, but not on the treatment of the families who called Chavez Ravine Home before they decided to build a baseball stadium where they lived and where their families called home," he captioned the post. Chavez Ravine was a former neighborhood in L.A. that was largely populated by Mexican-American residents and other minorities. The majority of the community wasforcibly displacedin the 1950s to make way for Dodger Stadium — despite the fact that the land was originally intended to be used for affordable housing. Monica Schipper/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Lopez added, "Also no comment from the [team's] owners. what's happening everyday to the families of the people who are being treated like they don't belong. If anyone doesnt belong it's the dodgers." PEOPLE reached out to the Dodgers for comment but did not receive an immediate response. While the Dodgers have not commented publicly on the ICE raids specifically, the team pledged $1 million for families of immigrants "impacted by recent events in the region," per a June 21ststatement.

Lindsay Lohan says she has 'PTSD to the extreme' from 2000s paparazzi craze: 'They were terrifying moments'

Lindsay Lohan says she has 'PTSD to the extreme' from 2000s paparazzi craze: 'They were terrifying moments'

Jamie McCarthy/Getty Lindsay Lohanis reflecting on the psychological toll of young stardom. TheFreakier Fridaystar contemplated the media frenzy that followed her at the peak of her fame in the 2000s in a new interview published Saturday. "I don't ever want my family to experience being chased by the paparazzi the way I was," Lohan toldthe UK outletThe Times. "They were terrifying moments I had in my life — I have PTSD to the extreme from those things. The most invasive situations. Really scary. And I pray stuff like that never comes back. It's not safe. It's not fair." The actress added that she thinks the paparazzi's boundary-crossing obsession with celebrities has faded over the past two decades. "I feel that it doesn't happen as badly now as it did," Lohan said. "It was way worse when I was younger." Glen Wilson/Disney Lohan is grateful for the advent of social media, which she toldThe Timeshas allowed celebrities to take more control of their narratives. "Now, because of social media, people can tell their own story in the way that you want it to be told," she said. "It has reclaimed the ownership of your life." She continued, "We didn't have that and so, no, I don't think anybody chose that life, but what I have learnt over time is how to separate my private life and public life, and that was difficult for me because nobody ever teaches you how to do that." TheHerbie Fully Loadedstar admitted that she's almost oblivious to constant attention from passersby. "A lot of the time someone who is with me will notice someone filming. I think I've lived with it for so long it doesn't matter," she said. "But then, now, somebody will have a phone up all the time." She added, "That's scary. That feels very uncomfortable. I'd rather someone just ask if they can take a photo or else you get cautious of every move you make." Alexi Lubomirski Lohan also revealed what advice she would give to her younger self. "I would say, 'Slow down,'" she said. "Everybody back then was, 'Go! Go! Go!' I wish somebody could have been behind me saying, 'You're all right. You can slow down, kid.'" The actress, who is now the mother of a 2-year-old son,toldEntertainment Weeklyin its recentFreakier Fridaycover story that family remains her top priority when she chooses projects. "Everything I do is [about] what's going to work for my family," Lohan explained. "If something works around that, it's meant to happen. If it doesn't work around that, it's a no-go." Alexi Lubomirski Lohan's focus on family made playing young star Julia Butters' fictional mother inFreakier Fridayall the more meaningful. "I've never played a mom before on screen, so it's special to me,"she told EW. "I played one inLabor Painsfor a second at the very end, but you didn't see it." Want more movie news?

Lohan also explained that when it came time to film the sequel, her maternal experience helped provide perspective she lacked while shooting 2003'sFreaky Fridayas a teenager. "The closeness that you have with your child, and that bond — how irreplaceable that is, and wanting to do the right thing for your child — is always the most important thing in the world, and nothing can stand in the way of that," the actress said. "I also didn't have the calmness that a mother needs to have when a child is losing it." Freakier Fridayhits theaters Aug. 8. Read the original article onEntertainment Weekly

Slow Tropical Development Possible By Early Week Near The Southeast Coast

Slow Tropical Development Possible By Early Week Near The Southeast Coast

Slow tropical development is possible off the Southeast or mid-Atlantic coasts over the next few days. A sluggish cold front is pushing through the South this weekend and an area of low pressure is expected to develop along it. These areas of spin can, on occasion, generate sustained thunderstorms and an area of spin as they move northeastward away from the Southeast. (MORE:5 Different Ways Tropical Storms And Hurricanes Can Form, Including From Tropical Waves To Gyres) Formation into a tropical depression or storm is not currently expected, but this is a favored area for development climatologically. Regardless of tropical development, the frontal boundary that gives us this opportunity for development will also pool abundant moisture and cooler air across the Southeast. The moisture could be enough to cause flooding in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina or Tennessee this weekend. Parts of coastal Georgia and southern South Carolina, in particular, could see areas of flood where 3-6 inches of rain accumulate. The next named storm to form will be named "Dexter." A steep increase in tropical activity has historically occurred over the next 4-6 weeks across the Atlantic basin. Tropical development can occur anywhere from the Gulf and Southeast coasts to the Central Atlantic and even off the coast of Canada. (MORE:Hurricane Season's Main Event: Why August Typically Kicks Off The Atlantic's Most Active Time) This is because water temperatures are near their annual peak, Saharan air has typically mixed out, wind shear is decreasing and instability across the basin is high. These are all favorable conditions for tropical formation. Jonathan Belleshas been a digital meteorologist forweather.comfor 9 years and also assists in the production of videos for The Weather Channel en español. His favorite weather is tropical weather, but also enjoys covering high-impact weather and news stories and winter storms.
