Meghan Markle Shares Adorable Tradition Started on Second Date With Prince Harry

THE RUNDOWN
On July 4, Meghan Markle shared a post for Independence Day, which also happens to be the anniversary of her second date with Prince Harry. The short carousel included a photo with a plate of cupcakes in red, white, and blue, with the hand of one of her kids reaching for a sweet treat. The next slide was a selfie of her and Harry that may have been taken on that long-ago date, and then a final picture of a cupcake reading: '4th of July.'
In the caption, Meghan wrote, 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016 and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition. Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes 🧁'
The pair has been together for nine years. In April, Meghan reflected on why she feels the marriage is definitely going to stand the test of time while being interviewed on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. The Duchess of Sussex and Kern are close friends off mic, and Kern asked if Meghan thinks she and Harry will 'be married forever.'
Meghan responded, 'Yes,' adding, 'He's also a fox, if you haven't noticed. My husband's very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful.'
'There's something that is not to be taken for granted when you have a partner and a spouse who is just so behind you,' Meghan continued. 'You know, I mean, H, that man loves me so much. And you know, look what we built. We've built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children, [Archie and Lilibet]. And you know, I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Brothers when you get to the final, final level. And what's the goal in Super Mario? They're like, slay the dragon, save the princess. I'm like, that's my husband....He's just going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected, and we're uplifted and still make time for date nights.'

Former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters faces possible prosecution after supporting banned Palestine Action

Former Pink Floyd songwriter Roger Waters could face prosecution after declaring his support for Palestine Action, a terrorist organization that has been banned by Parliament in the UK. Waters posted a video to X on Saturday, in which the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame inductee praised Palestine Action as a 'great organization,' while also giving kudos to Bob Vylan, who led the Glastonbury Festival crowd in a chant, shouting, 'Death, death to the IDF.' Waters said in his video that he was in his studio and was working on a piece of brown cardboard with a Sharpie. He then switched the camera from his face to the cardboard. 'This says, 'Roger Waters supports Palestine Action, 5th of July 2025. Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power. Stand up and be counted. It's Now,'' Waters read. 'This is the moment. I am Spartacus.' 'This is Independence Day, July 5th, 2025,' he continued. 'I declare my independence from the government of the U.K., who've just designated Palestine Action a terrorist, proscribed terrorist organization.' Waters said he supports Palestine Action, calling it a 'great organization,' and noting that they are 'nonviolent' and 'absolutely not terrorists in any way.' 'They're a nonviolent protest organization protesting the presence in the U.K. of Elbit Systems, who are an Israeli arms manufacturing organization,' he said. 'All right. So, that's that. I support Palestine Action, and I always will because that is the right thing to do.' 6 Waters posted a video to X praising Palestine Action as a 'great organization.'

Vuk Valcic/ZUMA Press Wire / He then turned his attention to others who support Palestine, like Bob Vylan, a punk-rap duo who led anti-Israel chants at the Glastonbury Festival late last month. 'We must support our brothers and sisters in Palestine and support them no matter what,' Waters said. 'So good on you, what was your name? Vylan. Good on you, Vylan, and the rest of you who are standing up to be counted. I love you.' Reuters reported that last week, the UK government moved to ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws after its activists broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged two planes in protest of what the organization called Britain's support for Israel. 6 Waters said he supports Palestine Action, calling it a 'great organization,' and noting that they are 'nonviolent' and 'absolutely not terrorists in any way.' AP After a parliamentary vote, the government proscribed the group as a terrorist organization, and the ban went into effect at midnight. Under UK law, offenses include things like inviting support, expressing approval or displaying symbols of a banned group, and violations are punishable by up to 14 years behind bars and/or a fine. There are currently 81 groups listed under anti-terrorism laws in Britain, including al-Qaeda, ISIS and Hamas. 6 He then turned his attention to others who support Palestine, like Bob Vylan, a punk-rap duo who led anti-Israel chants at the Glastonbury Festival late last month. Vuk Valcic/SOPA Images/Shutterstock Parliament's Minister of State, Sir David Hanson, said after the amendment's approval that Palestine Action released an 'undercover manual' that encourages its members to create small groups and provides guidance about how to conduct activity against private companies and government buildings. Hanson also said the manual explains how to operate covertly and evade arrest. 'The Government have assessed that Palestine Action promotes and encourages terrorism. This includes glorification of its attacks involving serious property damage on social media,' Hanson said. 'I have to say that we would not tolerate this activity from organisations if they were motivated by Islamist or extreme right-wing ideologies, and therefore I cannot tolerate it from Palestine Action.' 'By implementing this measure, we will remove Palestine Action's veil of legitimacy, tackle its financial support and degrade its efforts to recruit and radicalise people into committing terrorist activity in its name,' he added. 6 After a parliamentary vote, the government proscribed the group as a terrorist organization, and the ban went into effect at midnight. Vuk Valcic/SOPA Images/Shutterstock The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which, according to the group's site, is a 'volunteer-led charity dedicated to exposing and countering antisemitism through education and zero-tolerance enforcement of law,' shared Waters' video on X shortly after it was posted by the former Pink Floyd member. The group said it reviewed the post, adding that anyone who expresses support for it, contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000, is committing a criminal offense. They also said they stand ready to privately prosecute offenders when authorities fail to act. 6 The group said it reviewed the post, adding that anyone who expresses support for it, contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000, is committing a criminal offense. Vuk Valcic/ZUMA Press Wire / A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism told Fox News Digital, 'The suggestion that the Jewish state wields excessive political influence is a breach of the International Definition of Antisemitism.' 'Roger Waters has a long history of promoting dangerous conspiratorial tropes,' the spokesperson said. 'His declaration of support for Palestine Action, now a banned organisation, is his most legally provocative move yet. We expect the police to take action, and if they do not then we will.'

Terry Bradshaw makes a crack about Tom Brady's Fox contract

When we last heard from Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, he was telling Aaron Rodgers to 'chew on bark.' Bradshaw now has a bone to pick with another all-time great. Sort of. Appearing on something called To The Point — Home Services Podcast (i.e., Terry got a nice little check), Bradshaw riffed on the 10-year, $375 million contract that his employer, Fox, gave to Tom Brady. While commenting on the money Fox made from its massive Super Bowl audience, Bradshaw said this, via Brandon Contes of "[I]f I go in there and ask for a raise, 'Well, we don't have any . . . we're running a little tight.' Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I'll take it. I did some bad deals, that's what it was.' Some would say Fox did a very bad deal with Brady, chasing a name and not truly getting a fair return on the investment (especially given the consensus opinion on his performance in 2024). But, hey, everyone wants to have a cool friend. Tom Brady is the cool friend of the moment. It has gotten him sweetheart deals with the likes of Delta (because Ed Bastin wanted a cool friend), and it got him a below-market stake in the Raiders (because Mark Davis wanted a cool friend). Someone at Fox wanted a cool friend, too — and got one. It's not a complaint. It's an acknowledgement of the reality that there can be very real financial benefits in being someone's cool friend. Brady has become the GOAT of leveraging cool friendship into cold, hard cash.
