Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Reveal Their Newborn Daughter's Name - & It's Both Poetic & Edgy
Most of the footage was from Archie and Lilibet's younger years (probably to protect their privacy), but we can't help but smile at the dad milestones Harry has been able to witness — from teaching his son how to ride a bike to taking a father-daughter beach walk with his daughter.
It's the everyday activities his late mother, Princess Diana, appreciated despite her royal title. She tried to give Princes William and Harry a normal childhood even though they were very famous young boys.
In the last year, the Duke of Sussex has doubled down on his decision to move to the U.S. after exiting the royal family – it was the right move for his family.
'I enjoy living [in the U.S.] and bringing my kids up here,' Harry at The New York Times' DealBook Summit in December 2024. 'It's a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live, and it feels as though it's the life that my mom wanted for me. I want my kids to grow up with the opportunity to be themselves.'
Princess Diana's parenting style was imprinted on Harry at a young age even though she passed in 1997, he has never wavered from her teachings. 'My main goal is to be the best dad and husband I can be,' he added.
It's not much different from what Diana told the press in her years as a royal. 'I will fight for my children on any level so they can reach their potential as human beings, and in their public duties,' she said in her BBC interview with Martin Bashir in 1995. Instead of having a household of staff raising her children, she made sure she was entrenched in William and Harry's lives.
Harry has never doubted his mother's love and he's making sure Archie and Lilibet experience every ounce of that care through him — it's a way for Diana's legacy to live on.
'I can still feel the hugs that she used to give us,' Harry said in the 2017 TV documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy. 'I miss that feeling. I miss having that mother to give you those hugs and that compassion that everyone needs.'Best of SheKnows

Meet Dayana Yastremska, the Ukrainian beauty who shocked Coco Gauff at Wimbledon
Dayana Yastremska made headlines Tuesday by completing one of the biggest upsets at Wimbledon with her first-round victory in straight sets over No. 2 seed Coco Gauff. But the unseeded Ukrainian tennis player isn't a complete unknown. The 25-year-old is ranked No. 42 in the world and has three WTA singles titles to her name, while having her best finish in a major at the 2024 Australian Open when she reached the semifinals.

Dayana Yastremska /Instagram But Tuesday's victory was by far the biggest of her career and is sure to add an extra buzz around Yastremska. Advertisement Yastremska already has an interesting backstory due to her apparent allergy to grass — the same surface she's playing on at Wimbledon. Yastremska, who celebrated her 25th birthday in May, detailed her allergy after she reached the final at the Nottingham Open earlier this month, saying at the time that 'I really love playing on grass, even though I think I have a bit of an allergy to grass!' 6 Tennis star Dayana Yastremska, who upset Coco Gauff at Wimbledon. Dayana Yastremska /Instagram She already had quite the following on social media with 217,000 followers on Instagram, where she's posted content around her tennis career and stylish shots from parties and modeling. Advertisement 'I like modeling, I like fashion, I like philosophy, and I like many things to do,' she's quoted as saying in a 2024 article. 'But I don't have much time for it.' And her talents extend beyond the court as Yastremska showed off her singing chops during the COVID-19 pandemic and released two singles during the summer of 2020 titled 'Thousands of Me' and 'Favourite Track.' 6 Tennis star Dayana Yastremska, who upset Coco Gauff at Wimbledon. Dayana Yastremska /Instagram Advertisement 'I do not strive to become a cool artist,' she wrote in a post on Instagram in 2020. 'I just like to sing, I like this whole atmosphere. It's much easier for me on the tennis court, than being in the studio, standing near the microphone, and singing, it's such a stress for me!' Yastremska paused her musical ambitions in 2021 during a provisional doping ban following a positive test for a prohibited substance, but she was cleared six months later after an independent tribunal ruled that the positive result was due to contamination of the test sample. She was also forced to flee her home in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, revealing in a social media post that after two nights in an underground parking garage, her parents decided to send her and her sister out of the country. 6 Tennis star Dayana Yastremska, who upset Coco Gauff at Wimbledon.

BBC 'Regrets' Not Pulling Bob Vylan Glastonbury Set Livestream With 'Antisemitic Sentiments'
The BBC 'regrets' not pulling its livestream of a Glastonbury performance in which rap duo Bob Vylan chanted 'death, death to the IDF.' IDF stands for Israel Defense Forces. The television partner of the U.K.'s biggest music festival released a statement Monday as the fest wound down, hours after U.S. star Olivia Rodrigo wrapped up with her headline set. More from The Hollywood Reporter The Motif of the Karlovy Vary Film Fest Visual Identity Is an Embrace. Here Is Why. Canadian Leader Says Trade Talks With U.S. Resume After Canada Rescinded Tech Tax Olivia Rodrigo Brings Out The Cure's Robert Smith as She Wraps Up Politically Charged Glastonbury The BBC drew widespread criticism for airing the set on its livestream. 'Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC's output, but one performance within our livestreams included comments that were deeply offensive.' The corporation continued: 'The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury's condemnation of the performance.' The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming 'was in line' with the BBC's editorial guidelines, it also said, and a decision was made not to make the set available on demand. 'The team were dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight, we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.' Concluded the BBC: 'In light of this weekend, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air.' In a statement posted to Instagram, one half of the rap duo, Bobby Vylan, said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place…. As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.' But Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis also took to the social media platform to condemn the anti-IDF chants. 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech, or incitement to violence,' Eavis wrote. Eavis continued: 'As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism…we will always believe in — and actively campaign for — hope, unity, peace and love', adding a performer's comments 'should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs…. With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share.' U.K. prime minister Keir Starmer was among the critics of Bob Vylan's set. It was a politically charged event this year. It often is as Glastonbury attracts a left-leaning crowd, but more so than ever, the polarizing politics of the current day were felt. Also on Saturday, Irish rap trio Kneecap voiced their pro-Palestine views and used the platform to criticize the U.K. and U.S. governments, as well as the U.S. media.
