Prince Harry Gives Family Food Update at WellChild Awards
Prince Harry shared details about his family’s culinary adjustments following their move from the US to the UK last month. Speaking with Hello! magazine at the WellChild awards this week, the prince discussed how his children are adapting to classic British staples.
“Is that a British thing?” Prince Harry said, referring to Marmite. “Because it’s always been in my life, and now the kids are eating Marmite on crumpets, which is big for me.”
According to the prince, his children previously “used to diss me for having Marmite in the house.” He added that since arriving in the UK, “it’s like that’s kind of like water under the bridge, so it’s good.” However, other traditional foods have faced a tougher reception. Harry noted that an attempt to introduce his children to beans on toast “hadn’t gone down very well.”
Dolly Parton Estate Files Lawsuit Against Former Head of Security
Court papers filed in Tennessee this week by the Dolly Parton estate reveal a legal dispute involving Bryan Seaver, who worked for more than two decades as the late singer’s head of security. Seaver previously posted a video statement last month announcing Parton’s death.
The estate alleges that Seaver sent Danny Nozell, Parton’s manager who runs the estate, a series of alarming communications. According to the court filings, the messages included statements such as, “I’m a killer” and, “I’m literally an international arms dealer and mercenary. All I do is warfare. Everyone needs to be worried about what I might do.”
In comments to TMZ regarding the lawsuit, Seaver stated: “I am a career soldier and military contractor and do conduct arms deals for foreign governments. I am a security professional and I am a killer. However, nothing in this lawsuit were threats and most of the comments I stand by.”
Fishers Rescue Drowning Baby Elephant in West Bengal
Two fishers in West Bengal successfully rescued a newborn elephant calf that had separated from its mother and was drowning in flood water at the Teesta River. The fishers spotted the calf’s trunk waving out of the water like a periscope.
After following the trunk for three miles into shallow water, the fishers pulled the few-days-old calf onto their boat. They subsequently located the herd and reunited the baby with its mother. Observers on the bank reported that the mother reacted with intense emotion, wrapping her trunk around the calf, splashing its head with water, and flapping her ears.
