Is summer over? Fall 2025 weather forecast is here.

Is summer over? Fall 2025 weather forecast is here.

Folks in the eastern half of the United States might be wondering if the current ongoing cool pattern, which even saw temperatures dip into the 20s in portions of West Virginia on Aug. 26, is here to stay. Is summer over? Forecasters say it will definitely stay chilly in the short term: "A fresh area of high pressure will move from Canada into the Northeast over the weekend and remain in place for the Labor Day holiday,"AccuWeather meteorologist Adam Douty said in late August. "Most locations will experience comfortable days with a good deal of sunshine and chilly nights." Indeed, temperatures more common for October will trend as much as 15 degrees below historical averages, with near-record lows at night for many locations. Daytime highs will range from the 60s to 70s, with nighttime lows in the 40s and 50s. Federal forecasters agree with this prediction, noting that "current outlooks for early September favor below-normal temperatures for much of the Midwest and East," Dan Collins, an extended range forecaster withNOAA's Climate Prediction Center, told USA TODAY via e-mail. Sept. 1 is the beginning of meteorological fall in the Northern Hemisphere, while the beginning of astronomical fall is still three weeks away, this year occurring on Sept. 22. Meteorologists use the calendar to determine the change of seasons, while astronomers and the general public usually go with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly aligned with the equator, resulting in equal hours of daylight and darkness. Residents of Florida and the western U.S. must wonder what the fuss is about, as summerlike warmth is predicted to continue over these areas for most of September, according to theClimate Prediction Center. In early September, temperatures will be most unusually warm in the Northwest, with upper 90s likely, possibly reaching 100 degrees east of the Cascades,the Weather Prediction Center said in an online forecast. However, according to AccuWeather senior meteorologist Chad Merrill, the warmth will return to the East by mid-month: the current cool temperatures should be replaced by above-average temperatures. Forecasters from the Climate Prediction Center also note that "we are favoring above normal temperatures for much of the lower 48, including the Midwest and East, over the month of September," meteorologist Anthony Artusa told USA TODAY. But AccuWeather's Merrill does not foresee a return to any extreme summertime heat of 95 degrees or above this season. "In the East, those temperatures are finished for the year," he told USA TODAY. What is worrisome in the short-term is the lack of rainfall in the Northeast, which has prompted an expansion of drought in New England, according to the latestU.S. Drought Monitor released Aug. 28. "Drought will worsen in New England before tropical moisture moves in for the second half of the month," Merrill said. AccuWeathermeteorologists anticipate periods of increased tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin during the rest of the hurricane season. After the current storm lull during the end of August and early September due in part to dusty, dry air and cool water in Hurricane Erin's wake, the threat of tropical cyclones is favored to return by the second half of the month and into October and even November, Merrill said. "We are expecting the second half of the hurricane season to be busy," he told USA TODAY. "Chances for the development of La Niña increase as we approach the upcoming winter," Johnna Infanti, a seasonal forecaster with NOAA'sClimate Prediction Centertold USA TODAY in an email. The climate pattern, marked by cooler-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, could also help boost the number of hurricanes that form in the Atlantic by the tail end of the season: "La Niña conditions are associated with more activity (double the amount) in November when compared to ENSO Neutral and especially when compared to Novembers with El Niño conditions," said Matthew Rosencrans, NOAA's lead hurricane seasonal forecaster, in an email to USA TODAY. ENSO-neutral conditions occur when Pacific Ocean seawater is neither unusually warm or unusually cold. According to Infanti, some typical impacts of a La Niña winter can include cooler temperatures over the northern United States, and diminished storm track activity over the southern tier of the U.S. leading to milder-than-normal temperatures and below normal precipitation. In turn, she said the storm track is typically shifted northward, bringing above-normal precipitation to parts of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. "However, predictions of this event are still uncertain, and indications point to a short lived, weak event. Weak and short lived events tend to have less reliable impacts than strong, long lived events," Infanti said.

Xi and Putin stand shoulder to shoulder as China casts itself an alternative global leader

Xi and Putin stand shoulder to shoulder as China casts itself an alternative global leader

Chinese leader Xi Jinping made a veiled swipe at the United States on Monday as he criticized "bullying practices" and cast his country as a new leader of world governance, at a time when President Donald Trump's America First foreign policy is upending the globe. "The house rules of a few countries should not be imposed on others," Xi told more than 20 world leaders gathering at a two-day summit orchestrated to play-up China's global leadership and its close and enduring partnership with Russia, as the two neighbors seek to rebalance global power in their favor at the expense of the US and its allies. The meeting of the Beijing- and Moscow- backed Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the northern port city of Tianjin is China's biggest diplomatic event of the year, drawing political heavyweights including Russian President Vladimir Putin,Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modiand Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. At the summit, Xi pledged 2 billion yuan ($280 million) in grants to SCO member states this year, and an additional 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) in loans to an SCO banking consortium over the next three years. "We should leverage the strength of our mega-sized markets and economic complementarity between member states and improve trade and investment facilitation," the Chinese leader told his guests during opening remarks. Later in the day, Xi unveiled a brand new Global Governance Initiative, a sequel to his three earlier "initiatives" on security, development and civilization that together serve as a loose outline for his vision of a reshaped international order. "I look forward to working with all countries for a more just and equitable global governance system," Xi said, pledging to increase the representation and voice of developing countries and practice multilateralism – echoing longstanding calls from the Global South. "We should continue to dismantle walls, not erect them; seek integration, not decoupling," he added. Xi's vision pushes back against what Beijing sees as the foundations of a US-led world order, opposing alliances like NATO – which in his view exist to enforce the West's rules-based system – and calling into question the concept of universal human rights, while seeking to reshape power at the United Nations and other bodies it sees as unfairly dominated by the West. Without naming the United States directly, Xi vowed to oppose "hegemonism," "Cold War mentality" and "bullying practices" – phrases often deployed by Beijing to criticize Washington. As Trump alarms nations with his global trade war, withdrawals from international organizations, slashing of foreign aid and threats on social media, Beijing views the US as undermining the international order it worked to build – and sees an opportunity to ramp its own vision as an alternative. "We should advocate an equal and orderly multipolar of the world, and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization and make the global governance system more just and equitable," Xi said in his opening remarks. Echoing Xi's remarks, Putin said the SCO laid the groundwork for a "new system" of security in Eurasia, positioning it as an alternative to Western-led alliances that he has long railed against. The new system "would replace the outdated Eurocentric and Euro-Atlantic models, take into account the interests of the broadest possible range of countries, be truly balanced, and would not allow attempts by some states to ensure their security at the expense of others," Putin said. The summit is a showcase for closer ties between China and Russia, as well as the friendship struck up over the years by their two autocratic leaders. The deep personal rapport between the two men was on show Sunday evening, when Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan hosted a welcome banquet for attending leaders. Footage released by Russian state news agency RIA showed Xi and Putin gesturing animatedly and smiling as they chatted at the event, showing a different side of the typically restrained Chinese leader – and his warm and relaxed demeanor with his Russian counterpart. The SCO summit is also the leaders' first opportunity to meet since Putin's summit with Trump in Alaska in August – and comes as Putin resists Western pressure to end his onslaught in Ukraine. Just last week, Moscow's forces carried out their second largest aerial attack to date on Ukraine. On Monday, Putin used his speech at the SCO summit to reiterate his talking points on the war in Ukraine, saying the crisis "did not arise as a result of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, but rather as a consequence of a coup d'état in Ukraine, which was supported and provoked by the West." Moscow launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, after Russia's troops previously seized the Crimea and swathes of eastern Ukraine. The Russian leader praised efforts by China and India at facilitating the resolution of the crisis, and described the "understanding" reached with Trump at the Alaska meeting as "opening the way to peace in Ukraine." "During the bilateral meetings scheduled for today and tomorrow, I will, of course, inform my colleagues in more detail and thoroughly about the results of the negotiations in Alaska," Putin said, adding that he had already informed Xi "in detail" during a lunch on Sunday. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told Russian state media that Putin discussed Ukraine with world leaders on the sidelines of the summit, including Xi and Modi. Ushakov downplayed the possibility of a meeting between Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, which was teased by Trump after he met the two leaders last month. "Everyone is talking about a trilateral meeting, (or) about a meeting between Putin and Zelensky … But, as far as I know, there was no specific agreement between Putin and Trump about this," Ushakov told Russian state media journalist Pavel Zarubin on Monday. Observers said the Russian leader would have used the gathering to show that he's not alone on the global stage. "(Putin) will seek to frame Russia's resilience and China's backing as evidence that Western sanctions and isolation have not worked," Li Mingjiang, an associate professor at Singapore's S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, said ahead of the gathering. "At the same time, he will try to deepen strategic alignment with Beijing, in particular to ensure Chinese supply of dual-use goods and equipment to Russia (and) to show that Moscow has strong partners even as Washington ramps up its push to end the war." China has emerged as a key pillar of diplomatic and economic support for Putin's regime since the early days of the Ukraine invasion, even as it claims neutrality in the conflict. Chinese firms have bought up swaths of discounted Russian oil and provided it with critical trade, including dual use goods that Western leaders say have powered Russia's defense industrial base. Beijing defends its "normal trade" with Russia. Trump earlier this summer threatened to take aim at that partnership, saying China could face major tariffs on its goods if it continued to purchase fuel from Russia as it wages war. But even as the US imposed such penalties on India last week, it has so far slow-rolled that threat as it seeks a broader trade agreement with Beijing. Trump's whopping 50% tariff on India has soured ties with Modi – and accelerated a nascent and cautious rapprochement between New Delhi and Beijing. The Indian leader met with Xi on Sunday in his first trip to China in seven years, as both countries face stiff US tariffs and Western scrutiny over their relationships with Russia. On Monday, Modi highlighted his ties with both his host and the Russian leader at the SCO summit, embracing Putin before the two walked over hand in hand to greet Xi. The three leaders then shared a conversation marked by smiles and laughter. Modi and Putin also held a nearly hour-long private meeting in the Russian presidential limousine, the Aurus, while en route to their formal talks, according to Russian state media. "India and Russia have always stood shoulder to shoulder even in the most difficult times," Modi said at the start of the meeting. "We have been in constant dialogue on the situation in Ukraine. We welcome all the recent efforts for peace." Areadoutfrom the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said the two leaders discussed the latest developments concerning Ukraine. "(Modi) reiterated his support for the recent initiatives that have been taken to address the conflict in Ukraine, and emphasized the need to expedite a cessation of the conflict, and find a durable peace settlement," the ministry said. Observers say that Xi sees the gathering – and a massive military parade that he'll host on Wednesday in Beijing, expected to be attended by Putin, North Korea's Kim Jong Un as well as some two dozen other leaders – as a critically timed diplomatic push. Chinese officials touted this year's SCO as the largest yet, saying ahead of the event that 20 leaders from across Asia and the Middle East would join. In addition to Russia, China and India, SCO members include Iran, Pakistan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. CNN's Darya Tarasova contributed reporting.

Rock of Love contestant Kelsey Bateman dies ‘unexpectedly’ aged 39

Rock of Love contestant Kelsey Bateman dies 'unexpectedly' aged 39

Kelsey Bateman, a former contestant onRock of Love with Bret Michaels, has died at the age of 39. At 21, Bateman competed on the third and final season of the 2000s reality show, which saw 23 women competing to be Poison frontman Michaels's girlfriend. On Sunday night, a family source confirmed toTMZthat Bateman had died "unexpectedly recently." No cause of death was provided. Bateman made it to the final nine women in her series before being eliminated. The singer and guitarist ultimately selected Taya Parker as his girlfriend in the finale, but their relationship was short-lived. Michaels has been married to his wife, Kristi Michaels, since 2013. He has yet to comment on Bateman's death. Although Michaels was offered a fourth season, it was announced in May 2010 that he would instead star in a new series,Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It, which focused on his everyday life. Bateman was eliminated fromRock of Loveafter admitting she got too "wasted" with fellow contestants Farrah Sinclair and Ashley Klarich. "At some point I looked over during the concert and you were no longer there," Michaels later told her. "And at some point you were laying on a speed bump talking, saying you couldn't handle this any longer. I think tonight the fact that you are are needing to be who you are not, the fact you need to drink this much? "I think you're awesome and a beautiful girl and I said sometimes I have to make decisions for people, and my decision for you is that I'm going to let your tour end here." Bateman responded to her elimination: "Apparently, Brett just can't handle a girl that likes to get drunk and lay on speed bumps. I mean, maybe he's not used to it. "I'm going to go home and I'm going to be single I'm not going to think about guys for a while but the next guy I find definitely won't be 44 and probably not a rock star."

Prince Harry Called Out for a Food Ick on “With Love, Meghan”: Why His Royal Upbringing Might Be to Blame

Prince Harry Called Out for a Food Ick on "With Love, Meghan": Why His Royal Upbringing Might Be to Blame

Courtesy of Netflix; Tim Rooke - WPA Pool/Getty Meghan Markle called out Prince Harry for not liking lobster on the new season of her Netflix series,With Love, Meghan While Chef José Andrés reacted with horror, Harry's aversion to the dish might be because the royal family has traditionally banned shellfish from the menu due to health concerns Several other foods have been revealed as royal "no-nos" through the years, including garlic and foie gras Meghan Marklecalled out husbandPrince Harryfor not liking a certain food on the new season of her Netflix show,With Love, Meghan. In the season two episode with ChefJosé Andrés, the Duchess of Sussexconfesses that Prince Harryisn't a fan of a certain type of seafood. "You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband," Meghan, 44, said. "And you married him anyway?" Andrés joked in reply. While an aversion to seafood isn't that uncommon, Prince Harry's may be due to his royal upbringing. Traditionally, the royal family avoids eating shellfish, especially when attending royal events or tours, due to health concerns. Courtesy of Netflix "When dining, the Royal Family has to be careful with shellfish due to shellfish poisoning, due to their work schedules. It is a very sensible move to abandon having seafood when out and about on public duties," said Grant Harrold, former butler toKing Charles, as reported byThe Mirror.

Queen Camillarevealed another forbidden royal ingredient during a 2018 appearance onMasterChef Australia. "I hate to say this, but garlic. Garlic is a no-no," she said. Judge Gary Mehigan was keen to know the reason, asking, "Because you're talking, chatting?" "Yes, exactly," the royal confirmed. "So you always have to lay off the garlic." Diana Walker/Getty While King Charles has been known to forgo some of the culinary rules — he was even photographedeating an oysterat the Whitstable Oyster Festival in 2013 — there's one that he's strict about, even making it an official edict when he became King. The monarchconfirmed to animal rights group PETAin November 2022 that foie gras is banned from all royal residences due to the unethical way it is produced. Made from the fatty liver of a duck or goose, most foie gras production faces accusations of force-feeding the animals. It is illegal to produce in the U.K. and parts of the U.S., but it is not illegal to import or cook. Despite Harry's aversion to lobster, Meghan will have plenty of other treats for him thanks toWith Love, Meghanseason 2, which is streaming now on Netflix. The new episodes feature the Duchess of Sussex cooking, crafting and sharing entertaining tips with even more celebrity pals likeChrissy Teigenand Tan France, renowned chefs like David Chang, Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi and Clare Smyth and more. "I've been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show," Meghan said as sheteased season 2at the TIME100 Summit in April. "I've been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup."

Rudy Giuliani injured in New Hampshire car crash, his spokesperson says

Rudy Giuliani injured in New Hampshire car crash, his spokesperson says

Rudy Giulianiis recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire in which he was a passenger, a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said Sunday. Giuliani was being driven in a rented Ford Bronco by his spokesperson Ted Goodman when their vehicle was struck from behind by a Honda HR-V driven by a 19-year-old woman late Saturday evening, New Hampshire State Police said in a statement. Troopers witnessed the crash, which caused both vehicles to hit the highway median and left them "heavily damaged," state police said. Goodman and the 19-year-old suffered "non-life-threatening injuries" and were taken to hospitals for treatment, the agency added. State police said they are investigating the crash and no charges have been filed. Giuliani, 81, was taken to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg, according to a statement posted on X by Michael Ragusa, Giuliani's head of security. Giuliani "sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously," Ragusa said, adding: "This was not a targeted attack." Prior to the accident, Giuliani had been "flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident" and contacted police assistance on her behalf, Ragusa said. After police arrived, Giuliani continued on his way and his vehicle was hit shortly after pulling onto the highway in a crash that was "entirely unrelated" to the domestic violence incident, Ragusa told The Associated Press in an emailed statement. State police said troopers were investigating a domestic violence report on the southbound Interstate 93 highway shortly before 10 p.m. and observed the crash, which occurred on the northbound lanes. Troopers and fire personnel quickly crossed to provide help. New Hampshire State Police declined to comment on whether Giuliani had contacted the agency regarding the account of a domestic violence incident. Goodman did not respond to requests for comment and Giuliani's team did not provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding the crash. "Thank you to all the people that have reached out since learning the news about my Father," Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani's son, wrote in a post on X. "Your prayers mean the world." The crash follows some rocky years for the onetime Republican presidential candidate, who wasdubbed "America's mayor"in light of his leadership in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. Giuliani later becamePresident Donald Trump's personal attorney for a time and a vocal proponent of Trump's allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his backers lostdozens of lawsuitsclaiming fraud, and numerousrecounts,reviewsandauditsof the election results turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error. Two former Georgia elections workers later won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani. As they sought to collect the judgment, the former federal prosecutor wasfound in contempt of courtandfaced a trialthis winter over the ownership of some of his assets. He ultimatelystruck a dealthat let him keep his homes and various belongings, including prized World Series rings, in exchange for unspecified compensation and a promise to stop speaking ill of the ex-election workers. ____ Associated Press writer Jennifer Peltz in New York City contributed to this report.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia fights to stay in the U.S. while battling three court cases

Kilmar Abrego Garcia fights to stay in the U.S. while battling three court cases

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who has become an international symbol of President Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign,was wrongfully deported to El Salvadorin March, thenbrought back to the U.S. months lateronly to face charges andnew deportation efforts. The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that he is a member of the dangerous Salvadoran gang known as MS-13 and should not be allowed to stay here. In August, immigration officials said theyintend to send him to Uganda.His family and attorneys deny that he has any gang connections andsay he is being punishedfor fighting for his constitutional rights. They are seeking his release and to stop his deportation. Abrego, 30, has found himself in the middle of Trump's crackdown on immigration as his legal battles highlight the new deportation policies the administration has sought to use. The Salvadoran father of three is currently enmeshed in several court cases. Most recently, he applied for asylum in immigration court after he was returned to the U.S. His lawyers have also filed a lawsuit to ensure his right to due process as his deportation case continues. That case is being heard by a federal judge in Maryland, Paula Xinis. Finally, he has a federal criminal case in Tennessee, where prosecutors have charged him with human trafficking. He has pleaded not guilty. Here are the latest updates on what could happen to Abrego and how this all unfolded. Most recently, on Aug. 25, Abrego's attorneys asked an immigration judge for protection from deportation amid threats bythe Trump administration to send him to the African nation of Uganda, a country to which he has no ties. Abrego filed the case with Baltimore's immigration court in the hopes of being granted asylum or a withholding of removal to Uganda, if an immigration judge determines there is a credible threat to his life if he is sent there. He applied for asylum when he first arrived in the U.S. but that request was denied in 2019 because Abrego had missed the one-year deadline to file. A judge, however, ruled that he specifically could not be deported to El Salvador because of credible threats he faced from gangs there. His attorneys argue that he's now able toreapply for asylumbecause he exited the country — when he was deported — and re-entered, which started a new one-year clock. Abrego cannot be deported to El Salvador, but that still leaves the door open to being deported to some other country, a policy pursued by Trump. In August, the administration suggested sending him to Uganda, which has agreed to take in deportees from the U.S. if they have no criminal record and aren't an unaccompanied minor. Abrego also has a case beforeXinis, the federal judge in Maryland.In that case, his attorneys are seeking to ensure his due process rights are protected as they attempt to stop his deportation. Last week,Xinis ordered that Abrego remain in the U.S., temporarily blocking his deportation to Uganda, and set an evidentiary hearing for mid-October. Her order also said that Abrego should remain in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement within 200 miles of the court in Greenbelt, Maryland, until she is able to rule on his petition by mid-October. That prevents Abrego from being sent to a state like Louisiana, where the courts tend to have a higher denial rate for immigrants seeking protections. Oct. 6: Judge Xinis will hold an evidentiary hearing in Abrego's case, which is expected to include witness testimony. Mid-October: Xinis has indicated she could rule in his case sometime around then. Xinis' decision could determine if Abrego remains in detention as his immigration case plays out. In the meantime, Abrego remains at a Virginia detention center — about 200 miles from the Maryland courthouse. The Trump administration's effortsto deport Abrego to Ugandacould have larger implications for its policy of deportations to "third countries." Rwanda, Costa Rica, El Salvador and others have agreements with the U.S. to accept deportees. Federal prosecutors said that if he pleaded guilty to human trafficking charges in a federal criminal case brought against him in June in Tennessee, and served a maximum of 10 years in prison, he could instead be deported to Costa Rica, which said it would receive him as a refugee and allow him to live freely. An attorney for Abrego said he would not accept the plea deal, as he "will not accept charges of which he's not guilty." Abrego's detention in the U.S. and the Trump administration's attempt to deport him to a "third country" follow months of political firestorm. He was first deported to El Salvador in March because of what officials described as an"administrative error" that was in violation of the 2019 court order. Abrego was sent along with hundreds of people,most of them from Venezuela, to a notorious Salvadoran megaprison. The fight for his return sparkeda legal back-and-forththat involved theSupreme Court, which ruled in Aprilthat the federal government had to facilitate Abrego's return. The decision was a high-profile blow to the administration. After much resistance from the Trump administration, he wasreturned to the U.S. in June and immediately hit with human smuggling chargesout of Tennessee. He has pleaded not guilty and denied the allegations. The charges accuse him of transporting people who were not legally in the United States. Abrego was pulled over in Tennessee in 2022 while driving a van transporting several others, but was not charged with anything at the time. He has said he was helping transport workers and denied the charges. After being returned to the U.S. from El Salvador on June 6, Abrego was immediately placed in federal custody in Tennessee. He was thenreleased from federal custody on paroleon Aug. 22 — leading to a tearful reunion with his family after more than 160 days apart. He was only free for three days. Abrego was told on the Friday he was released that he needed to appear for an immigration check-in on the following Monday. As his attorneys expected, he was taken into ICE custody and hours later sent to a detention center in Virginia on Aug. 25. Abrego's conflicts with the Trump administration began on March 12, when he was pulled over by ICE officers while driving with his son on his way home from a worksite in Baltimore. He was on the phone with his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, and told her he had pulled into the parking lot of an Ikea when an officer "put his lights on." When an officer got to Abrego's car, according to Vasquez Sura, they told him to roll down the windows and step out of the vehicle. Abrego told the officer his son was in the back seat and had special needs. In a sworn declaration, she said officers then hung up the call, and minutes later someone called back, identified themself as a person with the Department of Homeland Security, and told her she needed to get there in 10 minutes to pick up her son or they would "call child protective services." When she arrived, she said, Abrego was on the curb in handcuffs, and officers on the scene claimed his "immigration status had changed," Vasquez Sura has said. He was arrested by immigration authorities and transferred to facilities in Maryland, Louisiana and Texas, the sworn declaration said. On March 15, three days after being pulled over, he was flown to El Salvador.

Princess Diana’s Brother Posts Gorgeous Photo and Message on 28th Anniversary of Her Passing

Princess Diana's Brother Posts Gorgeous Photo and Message on 28th Anniversary of Her Passing

For some, August 31st simply marks the unofficial end of summer, a time when we can all start looking forward to chillier autumn afternoons andpumpkin spiceeverything. But forCharles Spencer, Princess Diana's younger brother, it will forever be remembered the day his beloved sister passed away in a tragic car accident. As he so often does, Spencer chose to acknowledge the day with a solemn yet sweet Instagram post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Charles Spencer (@charles.earl.spencer) Spencer's simple post contains just two images—one of a bouquet of white and pink flowers, and another of a peaceful body of water (presumable the Round Oval lake) with a short dock. Both are beautifully serene photos, but it's the caption that really tugged at my heartstrings: "Flowers we cut this morning from Althorp's gardens for the Island. Always an impossible day." Terry Fincher/Princess Diana Archive/Getty Images A stately home in Northamptonshire, Althorp was where Diana lived, alongside her brother, from the age of seven all the way up untilher marriage to King Charles. It's also where she was buried, on a small island in the middle of the ornamental Round Oval lake. Though Spencer's post may be short, it's incredibly touching to see him choosing flowers from around their shared home to honor her with. TIM GRAHAM/Getty Images Sadly, this tragic anniversary comes just two months after Diana's birthday, on July 1. While undoubtedly a happier occasion to acknowledge, it is surely a bittersweet day for Spencer as well. Although this year he chose to honor what would have been Diana's 64th birthday with a very celebratory photo indeed. Spencer dug up someold childhood photos from Diana's 6th birthday partyfor which their father rather miraculously "secured the services of Bert the Camel, from Peterborough Zoo." Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images It's been 28 years since Diana died in a car crash that also claimed the lives of Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul. And while such an immeasurable loss never really gets much easier to reckon with—making today, as Spencer writes, always an impossible day—there are so many wonderful things to remember about Diana. Alongside a peaceful lake with a beautiful bouquet of flowers feels like as good a place as any to honor her memory.
