Bryan Seaver, Dolly Parton’s nephew and longtime head of security, has been removed from the position overseeing the singer’s properties less than a month after her death at age 80.

Seaver was given a notice on Wednesday, reviewed by TMZ, stating that he and the security companies protecting Parton’s Nashville home, museum and warehouse would be replaced.

People familiar with the situation told the outlet they believed Parton’s manager, Danny Nozell, and Pinnacle Bank were behind the decision to dismiss Seaver and his staff.

A replacement security team was sent to the properties on Wednesday, shortly after Seaver received the termination notice.

Sources close to Seaver said he and his associates were “dismayed by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions” taken following Parton’s August 25 death.

The Daily Mail has contacted Bryan Seaver, Danny Nozell and representatives of Pinnacle Bank for comment.

“We remain unshakably resolved to fulfill her final directive to protect her family, and we refuse to be intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being taken in bad faith,” Seaver’s representatives told TMZ.

His representatives also said they believed the measures were taken “with the intent to profit from the life of someone who willingly gave so much.”

According to TMZ, the notice sent to Seaver said the DP Dean Trust had taken responsibility for Parton’s business interests and properties after her death.

The report said Seaver continues to hold a personal interest in the trust.

Seaver’s mother, Cassie, is Parton’s sister. The late “Jolene” singer had selected him to announce her death publicly.

After Parton died on August 25 following a battle with cancer, Seaver appeared in a video sharing the news with fans.

“Dolly has lived in the light, and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by [late husband] Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens,” Seaver said in the emotional video.

During the video, Seaver also explained that his father, Larry, had held the security role before him.

He said he had served as Parton’s head of security for the past “two decades” and had worked for her for approximately four decades.

‘I first went on the road with Dolly as a kid, getting a taste of the road life in the early 1980s,’ Seaver said. ‘Dolly opened doors not just for me, but for her entire family to reach the potential we didn’t even know was possible.

‘Dolly also opened doors for generations of singers, songwriters, musicians and dreamers from every walk of life and across every continent. By her example, we believed that anything was possible.’

He added, ‘She never saw a door she couldn’t open, and the doors she opened made and changed history. My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly, but so have you.’

Parton has been well-remembered in the near month since her passing, which included an expansive tribute at the Primetime Emmy Awards last week which featured Reba McEntire and Sally Field.

Nashville International Airport will be renamed in Parton’s memory following a vote from the Metro Nashville Airport Authority Board of Commissioners weeks back.

SoFi Stadium was packed with star power Monday night, and plenty of the biggest names in attendance were not wearing football helmets.

The Los Angeles Rams’ primetime matchup with the New York Giants attracted a high-profile crowd from across sports and entertainment.

Actress Jessica Alba was seen at the game with her boyfriend, actor Danny Ramirez. New Los Angeles Dodgers ace Tarik Skubal also attended his first Rams game since joining the back-to-back World Series champions.

LeBron James, the longtime Lakers superstar and newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers, appeared to get into the action from his suite by showing off his own quarterbacking skills.

After Matthew Stafford dropped down and delivered an unbelievable sidearm touchdown pass to Davante Adams, cameras captured James recreating the Rams quarterback’s throwing motion.

James was not the only sports icon in the building. Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, “The Great One,” was seen in a suite with ESPN’s Pat McAfee, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and NBA stars Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan.

Rams owner Stan Kroenke also visited the sideline before kickoff, taking in the scene at his $5-billion football palace. Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current ESPN broadcaster Troy Aikman was on the field before heading to the “Monday Night Football” booth.

“Breaking Bad” stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul were also in attendance. The actors are partners in Dos Hombres, an award-winning mezcal and tequila brand.

Seven-time Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix watched Stafford’s touchdown throws, while comedian Trevor Wallace followed the game from the Bootsy Bellows club on the field.

A Maryland hunter is accused of fatally shooting a woman after mistaking her for a deer as she walked through a Delaware field with her children, according to state police.

Walter Moorhead, 74, was arrested on manslaughter and other charges after shooting Santos Maria Chilel Soto, 39, on Friday evening in Ellendale, Delaware, state police said in a news release.

Soto was walking through an open field with a man and two children at about 7:40 p.m. when Moorhead, who was hunting deer from a ground blind, opened fire. A ground blind is a camouflaged structure hunters use to conceal themselves from wildlife.

Police said Moorhead believed he had seen a deer before firing his rifle and striking Soto.

State troopers responded and provided life-saving medical treatment at the scene. Soto was then taken to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Moorhead faces multiple felony charges, including manslaughter for recklessly causing another person’s death, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment.

He was released from custody after posting a $43,000 cash bond.

The investigation remains ongoing.

A GoFundMe page described Soto as a mother of five children and a “beloved” aunt.

“Maria’s family is now facing the overwhelming pain of this sudden loss while also trying to make sure she is laid to rest with dignity,” the fundraiser says. “This heartbreaking situation has placed a heavy financial burden on the family at a time when they are grieving deeply.”

The fundraiser was created to help pay for funeral expenses and transport Soto’s body to Guatemala. About $12,000 had been raised by Monday evening.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — By almost any standard, Sebastian Berhalter is still young. At 25, he would only be beginning to establish himself in many professions outside soccer.

Yet his career has accelerated over the past year. Berhalter broke into the United States men’s national team, played at the World Cup and earned a transfer to England’s Middlesbrough.

Inside the squad Mauricio Pochettino assembled for the U.S. team’s first camp since the World Cup, however, Berhalter is considered one of the older players — almost a veteran. The gathering could be called Camp Cavan, after 16-year-old standout Cavan Sullivan, but 12 of the 28 players are too young to legally buy alcohol, making that name feel somewhat exclusive.

The number of teenagers in camp was clear Monday morning, when Berhalter and Gio Reyna appeared at a news conference as two of the group’s older, more experienced players. No matter how many times it is read, that still sounds unusual.

“I think older guy is actually a good way to put it,” Berhalter said. “I’ve only been part of the team for a year now, and it feels like I’m an older guy, which is crazy. It’s good. I think that’s something that I take in stride.”

Reyna, 23, has already accumulated enough storylines to fill an entire career. Even so, he encountered a new kind of role reversal when striker Justin Ellis told reporters in Orlando, Fla., that Reyna had been his favorite player growing up.

Ellis is 19, only four years younger than Reyna, but he was still in middle school when Reyna was a celebrated prospect making his debut for Borussia Dortmund and the U.S. national team. The pair met for the first time after Ellis joined his first senior U.S. camp. Ellis hopes to make his national-team debut against Peru on Saturday in Orlando, where he has recorded one goal and nine assists for Orlando City SC this season.

“He’s a great kid,” Reyna said. “It’s nice to get to know him so far. It makes me feel a little bit old, but it’s nice to have a lot of [the young guys] here. Looking forward to getting to know them better on and off the field. Just here trying to help them. Show them what we’ve built and what we’re striving to build. Obviously, all of them are very, very talented, so we’re just here to help.”

It is far too early to project the roster for next summer’s Gold Cup, much less the 2030 World Cup. Still, the next major competitions will not simply feature the same 26-man group that reached the World Cup’s Round of 16. The next generation will have every opportunity to claim a place, while the players from that squad will have to earn their positions again — not only against the teenagers in camp, but also against the players they beat out for World Cup selection.

Sullivan will attract the most attention and face the greatest expectations, but each player has a clear reason for being included. Every position group features someone who was absent from the World Cup. After Ricardo Pepi withdrew because of an injury, all three strikers — Ellis, Julian Hall and Damion Downs — fit that description. Downs, unlike the other two, already has senior international appearances.

The teenagers must show they can handle the demands of the senior team. The young veterans, meanwhile, must demonstrate that they can help guide them through it.

“They need to know that the young players are going to see everything in the way that you move, walk, talk, behave — on the field and off the field,” Pochettino said. “That is why I think it’s a very important period for us, also, to observe if senior players are good role models for the young. If someone is not behaving well, not behaving in the way that we are expecting, that is going to have some consequences.”

Prince Harry has revealed the “most British thing” he, Meghan and their children have been doing since returning to Britain from California.

The Duke of Sussex, 42, said Archie and Lilibet are now happily eating Marmite on crumpets, despite once teasing him for keeping the famously divisive spread in the family home.

Speaking to HELLO! at the WellChild Awards in London last night, Harry was asked about the most British activity he had enjoyed with his family since moving back to the UK.

“Gone for a walk. Lots of walks. Isn’t that the most British thing?” he joked.

However, Harry soon made clear that the family’s return to British life had extended beyond countryside walks and into their breakfast routine.

“OK, yes, Marmite on crumpets – please tell me that is a British thing because it has always been in my life and now the kids are eating Marmite on crumpets, which is a big moment for me.”

When asked whether seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet enjoyed the strong-flavoured spread, Harry replied: “They do, they do very much.”

He continued: “They used to dis me for having Marmite in the house but now we are in the UK that is kind of water under the bridge.”

Harry said his children had been far less enthusiastic about another classic British breakfast when he previously tried introducing it to the family.

“I already tried beans on toast,” he said.

Asked how the meal had been received, the Duke replied: “That was in California. That was years ago. It didn’t go down very well at all.”

The humorous family anecdote came as Harry discussed life with his young children at the WellChild Awards, where he appeared visibly emotional.

He became more reflective while explaining how parenthood has changed his experience of the charity’s annual event, which honours seriously ill children and the families who care for them.

“Once you become a parent it does change everything,” Harry said.

“It is not the fact that all the years I wasn’t a parent that meeting the kids didn’t matter as much but you suddenly realise how grateful you are to have kids that are not sick.”

Harry also shared a relatable moment from the breakfast table earlier that day, saying Archie and Lilibet had been experiencing the “Monday blues” before school.

“Breakfast this morning they had Monday blues,” he said, comparing it with the “Sunday night blues” he felt before being sent away to boarding school.

But the Duke said he managed to turn the mood around by explaining what he would be doing at the WellChild ceremony later that evening.

‘You know what you are just being a little bit tricky so I am going to tell you what I am doing tonight and they were genuinely fascinated and interested and had all sorts of questions.’

Harry said he and Meghan want to use their work to help their children understand more about the lives of others, adding that now ‘no longer being 5000 miles away should make it easier to be more available to support the charities that need us and that we really enjoy working with’.

His comments come after Harry and Meghan returned to Britain with Archie and Lilibet from their California home in August, with the children beginning school in the UK.

The Sussexes have spent recent weeks settling into their new life in Britain, with Harry making a series of charity appearances while Meghan has remained focused on the children.

The Duke’s return has also allowed him to spend more time with WellChild, a cause he has supported for 18 years.

He attended the charity’s 2026 awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Monday night, where he met winners and their families before presenting the Inspirational Child award to six-year-old Margot Jones-Billington.

Harry also gave a speech during the ceremony, saying the awards were an opportunity to celebrate children and young people living with complex medical needs as well as the families supporting them.

The event marks the latest chapter in Harry’s long association with the charity, which says he has attended the awards on 16 occasions.

And after years of being thousands of miles away, his comments suggest he is relishing the chance to become more closely involved once again.
