Steve Jobs' Daughter Eve Jobs Marries Olympian Harry Charles in $6.7M Cotswolds Wedding
Eve Jobs married British Olympic equestrian Harry Charles in the small medieval parish church of St. Michael and All Angels in Great Tew, England, on Saturday, July 26. The couple then hosted a reception at the private members' club and hotel Estelle Manor, where Sir Elton John reportedly performed for the newlyweds and their guests for a $1.3 million fee.
According to U.K.'s The Times, all in all the wedding cost an estimated £5 million, or $6.7 million.
Guests at the wedding included former Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been friends with the bride's mother, Laurene Powell Jobs, for more than 20 years. Also in attendance was Bill and Melinda Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates Nassar, chef Ruth Rogers and Bruce Springsteen's daughter, Jessica Springsteen, who was also one of nine bridesmaids.

The bridesmaids wore satin crimson red gowns (that matched the five-foot tall balls of roses that appeared outside of the church). All of Estelle Manor's 107 rooms were also booked by guests, while other friends stayed at Soho Farmhouse, where Meghan Markle held her Bachelorette party in 2018.
Eve, 27, an equestrian and model, and Harry, 26, who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year, began dating in 2022 and became engaged last September. They both have famous parents as Eve's dad Steve — who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011 at age 56 — was the cofounder of Apple, while the groom's father is fellow equestrian Peter Charles, a former member of the British team that won gold at the 2012 London Olympics.
A source told the U.S. Sun last week that the nuptials would be a 'society wedding like no other' and turn 'rural Oxfordshire upside down.'
'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI,' the insider said of the extravagant event. 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.'
According to The Times, the wedding's locale is home to celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi and Simon Cowell and his fiancée, Lauren Silverman — who said that the area appealed to Americans, including herself, due to its privacy.
While out for a bike ride on Saturday, Cowell, 65, congratulated the newlyweds, telling The Times, 'I wish them the best of luck — it's a beautiful place for it.'

Eve is the youngest daughter of Steve and Laurene, who also share son Reed, 33, and daughter Erin, 29. (Steve also has a daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, with ex Chrisann Brennan.) The children were raised in Palo Alto, California, and will reportedly receive little to no inheritance.
After her husband's death, Laurene told the New York Times in 2020 that Steve 'didn't care about the accumulation of wealth' and she has 'dedicated my life to doing the very best I can to distribute it effectively, in ways that lift up individuals and communities in a sustainable way.'
'I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that,' she added. 'Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.'

Why Rice Became The Go-To Sendoff For Newlyweds
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. From the bouquet toss, to the removal of the garter, to unique TikTok wedding cakes, weddings are filled with rituals (some easier to explain than others). On the food-related side of wedding-planning, brides and grooms might be thinking about how much food they need for their menu, the best (and worst) frosting choices for their wedding cake, or how to build a wedding charcuterie board. Today, we're exploring another centuries-old, food-centric matrimonial tradition: the rice throw. Rice is even a wedding prop for live performances of the cult classic "Rocky Horror Picture Show;" fans throw rice over their shoulders (not at the theatre screen!) as Ralph and Betty leave the church in the film's opening scene. Throwing rice at weddings is a ritual that traces back to the ancient Celts over 2,000 years ago. The Celts were an agriculture-centric civilization that placed high symbolic importance on grains and rice, and tossed the natural elements as an appeal to the gods to bestow blessings of abundance onto the new couple. Per the Celtic religion, the throwing of rice also warded off evil spirits that might be looking to cause mischief for the new couple on their special day. Tossing natural confetti isn't just a Celtic tradition, either. There are records of the ancient Romans throwing wheat at weddings, and Eastern Indian wedding-goers throwing flower petals. Either way, this ancient nuptial tradition pre-dates the Christian religion by several centuries. Read more: 13 International Dining Etiquette Rules We Should All Be Following Wedding Guests Have Been Throwing Rice As A Symbol Of Prosperity For Centuries The tradition goes that friends and family toss grains of rice at a newly-wedded couple as they exit the ceremony together. The rice throw typically takes place as the couple walks back down the aisle post-vows, or as they leave the church or venue together before the reception. Small paper cones of rice might be passed out to each guest, or a larger bowl filled with rice might be offered for everyone to grab a handful. So, why rice? For one thing, it's cheap and widely available. Rice is thought to have usurped cereal grains for the ritual sometime during the Middle Ages. On the metaphysical front, rice symbolizes fertility and prosperity, making it a natural fit for tiding well-wishes for the newly wedded couple, including good fortune and kiddos, if they want kids. Still, all that rice makes a mess. Many modern ceremonies pay a vendor to handle clean-up. But the loose rice poses a slipping and falling hazard, is tedious and annoying for the venue, and some think it's potentially harmful for the digestive systems of nearby animals. Depending on where the ceremony is held, some churches and venues don't allow a toss of any kind (rice, flower petals, forget about it). For these reasons, the rice throw tradition isn't as popular in the modern era as the staple once was in weddings of the past. Does The Rice Throw Hurt Birds? We would be remiss not to address the widespread misconception that has become linked with the wedding rice throw over the years: Uncooked rice hurts birds. So, does it? In a word, "no." The rumor traces back to 1985, when a Connecticut state legislator passed a bill that effectively outlawed the ritual, on the alleged grounds that uncooked rice kills birds. Even though the bill was not supported by Audubon bird experts, and doesn't carry any factual merit (ornithological studies have shown that uncooked rice doesn't hurt birds), the unflattering connotation has stuck. On the contrary, migrating birds such as ducks and geese are known to eat uncooked rice to fuel up before their travels. If anything, the rice throw has a greater potential to attract birds -- which can also throw a wrench into a smooth wedding day. In fact, in 2007, rice tosses were banned in Venice, Italy, for this very reason. At Venice's popular wedding destination St. Mark's Square, flocks of an estimated 40,000 pigeons, drawn by the rice, were regularly attending (and disrupting) ceremonies, perched and waiting for the anticipated rice throw. Pro tip: For folks who admire the rice toss tradition but are hosting an outdoor wedding, seeds, herbs, and dried flowers make a more environmentally-friendly confetti. Guests could also wave ribbon wands, sparklers, ring bells, or blow bubbles as the new couple exits the ceremony, preserving the well-wishes sendoff. Or, why not just throw birdseed? If you're curious, here are a few other wedding food traditions from around the world. Read the original article on Tasting Table.

Prince Harry denies new book's claim that he punched Prince Andrew
Prince Harry says he never punched his problematic uncle Prince Andrew, nor did the latter make insulting remarks about Meghan Markle, despite claims being made in a new book. Author Andrew Lownie's soon-to-be released biography, 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,' details some of the more intimate elements of Prince Andrew's life, including his marriage and divorce from Sarah Ferguson, his relationships with his family and the immense scrutiny he's faced due to his connection to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Among the many claims made in the book are allegations that Andrew was left with a bloody nose after a 'heated argument' with Harry broke out during a 2013 family gathering. According to a newly published excerpt, 'punches were thrown' when anger escalated over 'something Andrew said behind Harry's back.' The book also accuses Andrew of having expressed skepticism and concern about Harry's marriage to Meghan, allegedly calling her an 'opportunist.' But according to a representative for the 40-year-old prince, '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,' a spokesperson said in a statement to People. Harry has long had to deny rumors about himself and his family, especially amid the tensions that grew after he and Meghan left their senior royal duties in 2020 and decamped to her native California. Despite reports that his relationship with the royal family is as strained as ever — thanks in no small part to all the dirty laundry he aired in his 2023 bestselling memoir 'Spare' — Harry insisted to the BBC in May that he 'would love reconciliation.' Prince Andrew, meanwhile, has remained largely ousted from the royals' good graces after his disastrous Epstein-focused interview with the BBC in 2019. He was allegedly cut off financially by his brother King Charles, according to another controversial biography. _____

Trump Pits 'Woke' Taylor Swift Against Sydney Sweeney, Saying Pop Star Is for 'Losers' and Calling Sweeney's Ad the 'Hottest'
Hours after Trump learned that Sweeney is registered as a Republican, he took to Truth Social to contrast his appreciation for the actress with his "hate" for SwiftNEED TO KNOW Donald Trump pitted Taylor Swift and Sydney Sweeney against each other in a Truth Social post that praised Sweeney's career and slammed Swift as "no longer hot" After calling Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign the "hottest" ad, Trump wrote, "Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be" Trump previously expressed support for Sweeney in front of news cameras when a reporter informed him on Sunday, Aug. 3, that the actress is a registered RepublicanDonald Trump is pitting Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift against each other by casting them as opposing sides of the celebrity coin. When Trump discovered that Sweeney is a registered Republican while speaking with reporters on Sunday, Aug. 3, he praised the actress and her controversial American Eagle campaign, which has come under fire for its perceived problematic undertones. In a Truth Social post on Monday morning, the president took his newfound affection for Sweeney a step further by contrasting his appreciation for the actress with his "hate" for Swift, who backed Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!" he wrote on Aug. 4. After slamming ads from other companies like Bud Lite and Jaguar — which Trump described as "woke" — the president then shifted the conversation to Swift, who has become a frequent target of his anger over the past year. "Just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift," he wrote in the post. "Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT." He continued: "The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" The president's modern criticism of Swift escalated after she endorsed Harris for president in September 2024. The endorsement prompted Trump to post: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" Despite Trump's attempts to turn his MAGA followers against Swift, the president's granddaughter Arabella remained a fan of the "Blank Space" singer, even celebrating her 13th birthday with mom Ivanka at the Eras Tour in October. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer. Sweeney's party preference was first reported by Buzzfeed News amid the backlash from her controversial new partnership with American Eagle, though the actress has not commented on her political affiliation or spoken publicly in support of Trump. The AE ad campaign — called "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" — played off the word "genes," with critics claiming that it suggested she was genetically superior in the way that it highlighted her blonde hair and blue eyes. The jeans campaign also drew comparisons to Brooke Shields' controversial Calvin Klein ad from 1980. Shields' age (she was 15 at the time) ruffled feathers due to the commercial's provocative tagline: "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing." It also featured similar messaging about passing down characteristics from generation to generation. Read the original article on People
