In a touching Father’s Day tribute, Prince Harry was photographed with his children, Archie and Lilibet. The candid moment was made even more special as young Archie sported an England football jersey.
Prince Harry shares a tender Father’s Day moment with Archie and Lilibet, with Archie proudly donning an England football shirt.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, marked the occasion by sharing a heartfelt family tribute on social media, celebrating the 41-year-old Duke of Sussex. This comes amidst speculations that the couple is planning a significant visit to the UK next month.
It comes as Harry and Meghan are expected to travel to Britain in July with Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, marking the children’s first visit to the UK in four years.
The trip is expected to include events linked to Harry’s Invictus Games and could see the family stay in a royal residence, with reports suggesting Buckingham Palace is among the options under consideration.
The visit comes as efforts towards a reconciliation between Harry and his father, King Charles, 77, continue following years of family tensions after the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
Sharing a video montage on Instagram for Father’s Day, Meghan told Harry: “They’re so lucky to have you.
“We all are.
“Happy Father’s Day to our one and only.”
The footage included images of Harry embracing Archie and Lilibet, with Archie wearing an England football shirt while hugging his father in support of the team’s World Cup efforts.
The post comes amid renewed attention on Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family.
In May 2025, Harry told the BBC he hoped for a reconciliation with relatives following years of public disagreements and legal disputes surrounding his security arrangements in Britain.
Harry has remained a prominent public figure through his charitable work and his role as founder of the Invictus Games, the international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.
The next edition of the competition is due to take place in Birmingham in 2027, with Harry expected to attend a series of related engagements in London and Birmingham between 6 and 10 July.
According to reports, an arrangement has been reached that would allow Charles to spend time with Archie and Lilibet during the visit.
The King has not seen his grandchildren in person since celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.
The Sussexes have rarely travelled to Britain as a family since relocating to California after their departure from royal duties, a period widely referred to as “Megxit”.
Harry has repeatedly cited concerns over security after the removal of automatic state-funded police protection following the move.
Reports suggest Buckingham Palace, currently undergoing a £369 million refurbishment programme, is among the residences being considered because of its extensive security arrangements.
Other possibilities are understood to include St James’s Palace, Windsor Castle and Frogmore Cottage, the former UK home of Harry and Meghan.
Meghan has not visited Britain since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022. It remains unclear whether she will join Harry and the children for any meeting with Charles during the forthcoming trip.
Relations between Harry and his brother, Prince William, 44, remain strained.
William is not expected to meet Harry during the visit, with reports suggesting the brothers have not spoken since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
Last year, Harry travelled to Britain after Charles was diagnosed with cancer and later met his father privately at Clarence House.
Reports at the time said Harry brought a framed photograph of Archie and Lilibet to show the King during the meeting.
Leslie Jones Speaks Out on Challenging ‘SNL’ Writers Over Typecasting as the ‘Angry Girl
Leslie Jones recently shared her experience confronting the writers of “Saturday Night Live” about being frequently cast in roles characterized by anger and aggression.
During the June 12 episode of “The Sam Sanders Show,” the comedian expressed her frustration at consistently being portrayed as an irate character or someone romantically entangled with a white man.
“They would always depict me as someone who was either angry or fighting with someone,” she continued.
Jones, who was a part of the beloved sketch comedy show between 2014 and 2019, revealed that she requested the writers to reconsider this portrayal — a plea that was dismissed.
Reflecting on their response, she stated, “They said, ‘This works. Once you leave, you’ll have opportunities…’ But I countered, ‘I don’t aspire to be like Chevy Chase or anyone else. I want to be uniquely Leslie and explore diverse roles.’”
Jones continued: “I would tell them, ‘Hey, can I be in this sketch?’ ‘Hey, when do I get to play a man?’ They would let them do other stuff, and then they wouldn’t let me play as much as I wanted to play.”
The 58-year-old said she once spoke to creator Lorne Michaels about some of the racial “undertones” happening behind-the-scenes.
“You know, there be some racist stuff be happening up through here,” she stated, before claiming that “misogyny is heavier than the racism” at “SNL.”
Despite her grievances, Jones said she still played ball with the NBC program because she knew that was best for her career.
“I wanted to be on the show,” she said, “and at the time I didn’t think that was what was happening ‘till it kept happening. And then every time I would get a sketch, I was like, ‘Okay, who am I beating up this week?’”
Jones also called “SNL” a “machine” that will never change because “It’s been successful” since it premiered in 1975.
“If you wanna be there, go there, because it is a great foundation,” she said as advice to up-and-coming comedians. “It is a great place for you still to find yourself. You can definitely get love going there.”
However, Jones noted comics need to have “a very strong personality” and be “very secure in yourself” if they want to be on the show.
When asked to sum up her experience, Jones called it “bittersweet” because while she “loved being there” and had “fun,” she doesn’t “miss the mental part” of the job.
Page Six has reached out to “SNL” for comment.
Jones joined “SNL” as a writer during Season 39 in 2014, before being promoted to an official cast member later that year.
At the time, Jones was the oldest new recruit in the show’s history at age 47.
She earned two Emmy nominations for her performance before departing the series in 2019.
Debate Sparks Over SNAP Restrictions on Soda and Candy
(The Hill) — On Monday, a federal judge put a halt to efforts by the Trump administration and various states to ban the use of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for purchasing sugary drinks and other items classified as unhealthy foods.
Towards the end of last year, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins promoted a campaign for states to exclude certain food items from the $100 billion federal initiative. This initiative aligned with Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” plan, which he lauded for restricting SNAP usage.
Numerous states had sought permission from the federal government to bypass U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations dictating permissible SNAP purchases, and the USDA had approved these exceptions, as a court document shows. However, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson reversed these approvals in her decision.
Reacting to the judicial verdict, Rollins expressed frustration, stating in a post on the social platform X, “An activist judge has just obstructed our sensible proposal to prevent SNAP funds from being used for sodas and junk food.”
“SNAP is designed to support food purchases, not to fund sugary indulgences that contribute to obesity, diabetes, and surging healthcare costs affecting low-income families.”
The moves have come in tandem with Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, and Kennedy has praised the move to restrict SNAP purchases.
Despite a possible perceived health benefit in the restriction of certain foods and drink, there are some who disagree with the SNAP restrictions, citing reasons including discrimination and costs.
Here’s what you need to know about the controversy surrounding the SNAP restrictions:
Stigmatization
Some who are opposed to SNAP restrictions argue that they will raise the stigma around the SNAP program and result in increased discrimination against recipients.
“By reinforcing the narrative that SNAP participants can’t be trusted to make food choices for their families, I have no doubt that this discrimination will intensify,” Kate W. Bauer, a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Michigan, wrote in an April article.
“This stigma harms both mental and physical health, adding another burden to those already struggling,” she added.
A piece titled “Let Them Eat Cake: Why We Must Oppose SNAP Food Choice Restrictions” in the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy from April also argued that “singling out people who receive SNAP, policing their shopping carts, and delaying their purchases at the register” as a result of the restrictions would cause a reduction in those involved in the program.
The financials
Researchers have argued it would be expensive for the federal government to track all the hundreds of thousands of food and beverage products on the market plus the 20,000 introduced each year, according to economic policy researcher Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach’s 2017 testimony before the House Committee on Agriculture.
“Imposing new restrictions on SNAP would require expensive new infrastructure for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), grocery stores, and other retailers. Taxpayers would foot the bill to expand USDA’s capacity to patrol grocery transactions,” the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy piece argued.
Health effects
In her 2017 congressional testimony, Schanzenbach also said that researchers have long argued that restrictions on SNAP are unlikely to change people’s eating patterns.
Bauer, the University of Michigan professor, wrote in her April piece that trials and “an increased understanding of individuals’ experience of food insecurity” demonstrate that SNAP restrictions would have the opposite of the desired effect by not promoting a healthful lifestyle and “would have unintended, negative consequences.”
“Specifically, randomized controlled trials that have tested the effects of different limitations or incentives on SNAP purchases demonstrate that, while soda purchases may decrease when SNAP benefits are restricted, there are no meaningful differences on individuals’ overall dietary intake,” she added.

Before that, Springer spent eight seasons coaching at the collegiate level.
He was a standout linebacker at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) from 2007 through the 2011 season.
Prior to NBC Sports Boston, Burton, who is a Massachusetts native, was a college football sideline reporter for ESPN.
She previously worked for NFL Media and Western Mass News based in Springfield, Mass., where she served as a sports/news anchor, reporter, and content producer.
Burton played Division I women’s basketball at Lehigh University.
Her sister Veronica Burton was a first-round pick in the 2022 WNBA draft and she currently plays for the Golden State Valkyries.
Veronica was the WNBA Most Improved Player in 2025.
Kim Jong Un’s Bold Naval Ambition: North Korea Aims for Two New Warships Annually in Military Overhaul
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a directive to bolster the nation’s naval capabilities significantly. He proposes constructing two large warships annually over the next five years.
During a commissioning ceremony for a newly minted destroyer, Kim expressed his ambitions for North Korea to construct two warships each year. These ships would be on par with the 5,000-ton Choe Hyon-class vessel, as reported by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The event, held at the port of Nampho, marked the deployment of the new multipurpose destroyer. Back in April, Kim had witnessed the ship launch two cruise missiles and three anti-ship missiles.
The destroyer has successfully passed a series of rigorous military operational tests over the previous 14 months, according to reports from KCNA.

Kim previously hailed the development of the Choe Hyon as a major step toward expanding the operational reach and preemptive strike capabilities of North Korea’s military.
Kim also said the navy’s nuclearization is “advancing along its own course,” contributing to the country’s nuclear deterrence.
The naval buildup comes as Kim seeks to strengthen what analysts have long viewed as one of the weaker branches of North Korea’s military.

KCNA reported that Kim intends to deploy another 5,000-ton destroyer, the Kang Kon, along with larger 10,000-ton strategic warships.
The Kang Kon was first unveiled in May of last year but was damaged during a failed launch at the northern port city of Chongjin. The vessel was later relaunched following repairs.
By adding new capabilities, North Korea’s navy would become “something incredible beyond imagination,” Kim said.

“Building a modernized naval base has emerged as a desperate and essential task,” he added.
State media reported that Kim is also reviewing plans to construct new naval bases.

Speaking during a meeting of the Workers’ Party’s Central Committee on Monday, Kim said the navy would undergo changes to its status, role and scope of operations.
He did not elaborate on what those changes would entail.
Savannah Guthrie Addresses Public After Misleading Report on Nancy Guthrie’s Death
Savannah Guthrie recently addressed the latest developments in the case involving Nancy Guthrie.
On June 23, the Today cohost shared her thoughts, following new reports about a letter declaring her mother’s death that surfaced just the day before.
“I want to take this moment to appeal to everyone, to implore people to come forward,” she urged. “Someone out there has information, and while this story may be new to some, it’s the reality my sister, brother, extended family, and I face, the reality our children live with every single day. It’s heartbreaking. We cannot find peace.”
At 54, Savannah expressed the unwavering love her family has for the 84-year-old Nancy, declaring, “We will never cease our search for her.”
A Letter To Media Said Nancy Guthrie Is Dead
Since Nancy’s disappearance in February, a second message was sent to media organizations, asserting that the octogenarian had passed away, according to three sources familiar with the case as reported by NBC News.
The note’s existence was known, but the contents had not been made public. The note also did not contain an apology or request for payment for the release of her body, per the outlet.
Investigators involved in the case had examined two notes sent to media outlets and confirmed they are “potentially credible,” NBC News reported. The notes had been sent to NBC News affiliate KOLD news director Jessica Bobula.
When Did Nancy Guthrie Disappear?
Nancy was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31, in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of her Tuscon, Ariz. home. She was reported missing on Feb. 1 by her family.
On May 9, three months after her disappearance, the Tuscon Police Department confirmed that a human bone had been found seven miles from her residence.
But, the finding was “not criminal in nature,” a spokesperson for the police told People, noting that it was a “prehistoric anthropological investigation.”
The FBI is also offering a reward of up to $100,000 “for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”
Legendary Musician Daryl Hall, 79, Announces Successful Kidney Transplant
Iconic musician Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame has disclosed that he recently received a kidney transplant.
The 79-year-old artist shared this health update through an Instagram post on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to the ‘kind and generous’ individual who provided a living kidney donation.
In his message, Hall conveyed, ‘I wanted to let you know that I was fortunate to receive a kidney transplant from an incredibly kind and generous living donor.’
He continued, ‘The procedure took place a couple of weeks back, and I’m already beginning to feel improvements. My doctors have confirmed it was a complete success.’
Hall concluded with optimism, ‘I anticipate being fully recovered in a few months, so brace yourselves for more music and plenty of Daryl’s House performances. Take care, everyone.’
Hall, who was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2005, did not reveal the identity of the donor or further details of what prompted his need for a transplant.

Most kidney donations come from deceased donors. Living donors, who can offer a kidney or part of their liver, are usually close family.
Hall has faced public health battles over the years – revealing his battle with Lyme disease in 2015 – which he described as the ‘worst thing that has ever happened to me’.
Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks.
The most common symptoms of the disease are fever, headache, fatigue and a skin rash called erythema migrans.
The disease can typically be treated by several weeks of oral antibiotics.
But if left untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, heart and nervous symptoms and be deadly.
He said in a 2017 interview, ‘In February of 2015, at my very sickest from chronic Lyme and Bartonella, after it was missed by eleven NYC doctors, I was homebound and in heart failure.
‘Getting Lyme Disease is no fun, I’ll tell you that right now.’
‘About ten years ago, I started getting tremors, especially in my left hand and arm, with twitching, and I didn’t know what that was.
‘I’ve always had food allergies and spring allergies but then I got this very serious celery allergy. And that came out of the blue. And then finally I came down with this raging fever and really stiff neck and body.
‘They told me it was the summer flu and all this nonsense. So I started talking to my family about it and my ex-wife, who has Lyme, said it sounded to her like Lyme.’
‘He gave me two weeks of Doxycycline only, and of course, old story, nothing happened. Except that the bull’s-eye suddenly appeared. But I was not getting any better.
‘And then my sister found Dr. Joseph Burrascano for me, who was one of the few Lyme doctors practicing, and he was out in the Hamptons. He was the first Lyme-literate doctor that I went to and he gave me my diagnosis and started proper treatment. That went on for about a year.’
Hall and Oates first joined forces in Philadelphia in 1970 and achieved huge success throughout the 70’s and 80’s with singles such as Rich Girl, Maneater, and You Make My Dreams.
In 2003, the duo were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and in April 2014, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and went on to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in September 2016.
Most recently, the two men were inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame Class of 2023.
Discover How Wes Anderson Defined His Iconic Style at Age 27
Sony Pictures Releasing
Wes Anderson has long been recognized for his distinctive filmmaking style, characterized by his masterful use of color and meticulous framing. From the start, his penchant for unique visual storytelling was evident, utilizing precise blocking and a singular color palette that became his trademark. This unique style was apparent from his debut film “Bottle Rocket,” signaling to the world that Anderson was a visionary filmmaker. Although “Bottle Rocket” might not be considered his masterpiece by some, it undoubtedly laid the foundation for what audiences could expect from his cinematic journey.
In 1996, Anderson, then only 27, unveiled “Bottle Rocket,” featuring Owen and Luke Wilson as Dignan and Anthony Adams. The film follows their misadventures as they embark on a series of heists after Dignan orchestrates Anthony’s escape from a mental health facility. Their escapade is far from smooth, leading to numerous escapes and eventually a temporary separation, only to reunite to continue their crime spree.
Bottle Rocket became one of the first Criterion Blu-Rays
Sony Pictures Releasing
“Bottle Rocket” represents a significant milestone in Wes Anderson’s career, serving as both his inaugural film and the one that firmly established his signature style. Its cultural impact was cemented in 2008 when it was inducted into the Criterion Collection. This debut was among the first Blu-Ray releases from Criterion, joining the ranks with cinema classics like “The Third Man,” “The 400 Blows,” and “Chungking Express.”
Moreover, the film marked the beginning of Owen Wilson’s prominent acting career. Anderson and Wilson’s friendship traces back to their college days, where their shared admiration for influential directors forged a bond that would lead to numerous collaborations. Wilson’s performances in Anderson’s later films, such as “The French Dispatch” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” highlight this creative partnership, yet “Bottle Rocket” stands out as a defining role in his career.
Though Anderson is now synonymous with works like “Fantastic Mr. Fox” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” it was “Bottle Rocket” that launched his career into the spotlight. The film not only introduced his unique style to the world but inspired countless imitations and homages, even finding new life and adoration on platforms like TikTok.
