Rupert Murdoch's 'wild child' granddaughter Charlotte Freud reveals she's on airport watch list after committing banned act on a plane
Charlotte Freud, 25, posted to Instagram on Thursday to reveal that she was put on watch for five years after she was caught vaping on a Virgin Australia plane.
The relative of the media mogul shared a picture of her holding a peace sign as she filled fans in on the plane mishap.
'After a perfect month of travel, she finds out she's on some kind of terrorist watch list for vaping on a Virgin flight two years ago and will be stopped at every check point to be scolded for that for all Virgin flights for the next five years' she wrote.
Charlotte went on to say that she was 'boycotting' the airline before admitting that she's 'done a lot worse' on flights.
'Obviously we are boycotting Virgin for the next three years but in the grand scheme of things young char char has done a lot worse on flights so we'll be grateful they're just Juul shaming me' she added.

Juul is a popular brand of nicotine vape in the USA.
She then shared a picture of her vape with the song Never Tear Us Apart by INXS playing in the Instagram story.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Virgin Australia for comment.
Charlotte recently hard launched her relationship with Hollywood actor Isaak Presley, 22 in a cowboy-themed photo shoot.
The London-born daughter of PR guru Matthew Freud and media exec Elisabeth Murdoch locked lips with the Netflix star as they dressed in coordinating cowboy-style ensembles.
Charlotte jumped into her new beau's arms and straddled him for the steamy pictures, while he romantically dipped and kissed her in another image.
'(Yee) Haw-d launch,' she wrote in the caption, as he responded, 'You got me feelin' luckier than a cowboy with two aces in his boot.'
Charlotte is living with her new beau - who goes by the nickname 'Cowboy' owing to his love of horse riding - in Los Angeles, where she is focusing on writing musicals.
Friends say Isaak, who starred in the screen hits Fuller House with John Stamos and Stuck in the Middle alongside rising star Jenna Ortega, is a good match for Charlotte.
Charlotte previously married British rapper Luke Storey - 15 years her senior - in 2022.
They wed at St Mary's Church in Westwell, Oxfordshire in 2022, with her grandad Rupert flying in amid his divorce from his fourth wife, Texan supermodel Jerry Hall.
However the pair split just 14 months later - though she claims it was over almost immediately after saying 'I do'.
'We had been married for 12 hours when our whole world fell apart,' she explained. 'He relapsed on the way to our honeymoon. It wasn't a great sign.'
Charlotte, now 25, met Luke – a self-confessed recovering drug and alcohol addict – when she was just 18 and he was 33.
He encouraged Charlotte to join Narcotics Anonymous, helping to end her addiction to ketamine.
Charlotte once admitted that she used ketamine so frequently during high school that peers nicknamed her 'K-angel' after the drug.
She said she struggled to cope with the high-profile scandals involving her family and 'overcompensated' for her glamorous upbringing by rebelling at school.
Charlotte said she soon realised that recovery would play a big part in her marriage.
She said: 'It felt like there were three people in the relationship – me and him and our recovery.
'If our recovery was strong then we were strong, and if it wasn't we were falling apart. We had a great relationship when we were sober, but neither of us could stay sober.

Dick Diver review – beloved ‘dolewave' band's one-off reunion brings out Melbourne for four magical shows
Dick Diver embodies a time that is both long gone and ever-present. They may have never been a household name but the Melbourne quartet, or what they represent, are a part of the national cultural fabric. Their lackadaisical affect belies the seriousness and sophistication of both their musicality and lyrics, which are unpretentiously and undeniably Australian. The band combine the slacker vibes of Pavement with the bookish lyricism (they take their name from a character in an F Scott Fitzgerald novel) and jangly 'striped sunlight sound' of the Go-Betweens. Releasing three albums and an EP between 2009 and 2015 through the celebrated Melbourne indie label Chapter Music, Dick Diver's encapsulation of millennial malaise under capitalism made them the unwitting leaders of a genre jokingly nicknamed 'dolewave'. The band, and much of the underground music press, bristled but the moniker nonetheless expressed something true: this was the music of the everyman, suburban poetics for the struggles and quiet joys of daily living. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning For me, Dick Diver was the sound of moving to Melbourne and starting my independent adult life. Living in sharehouses in Richmond and Carlton North, my housemates and I would cycle down to the Tote after working our entry-level jobs to see Rupert Edwards, Alistair McKay, Al Montfort and Steph Hughes play these songs that were somehow about us. Dick Diver soundtracked the changing tides of my life, spinning on a record player or blasting from a stage as I learned how to work, how to love, how to live. It's been a while between drinks: Dick Diver's last shows were in 2018 and, despite the memorable lyric 'Europe's fucked, probably', half the band now lives there. In the intervening years they have busied themselves with other musical projects, including Sleeper and Snake, Terry and UV Race, and undergone new personal adventures, such as raising children. This surprise reunion was initially a one-off but demand ballooned it into a four-show affair, including two all-ages matinees. Despite it being 10 years since their last album, the cheekily named Melbourne, Florida, this is not the typical album-in-full nostalgia show. The sentimentality is there, of course – 'It's been such a treat to learn these old songs. It's been a while since we've been together,' McKay tells the sold-out crowd on Friday night – but you'd be forgiven for forgetting any time had passed at all. It does take a little time to warm back up: the band feels a little subdued at their first show on Friday night, with their signature banter missing, and loud crowd chatter throughout the sprawling Amber – one of their best – dulling the meditative impact of the song's languorous pace and surrealist imagery ('When I was young, I saw a horse in a stream / One day it looked at me and said, 'Get a grip, dreamy, it's the 21st century!'') But the music sounds great and the band remains as tight as ever, with guest musicians on saxophone and trumpet elevating songs such as Lime Green Shirt and Private Number. Band members swap instruments and vocal duties, and it's not hard to see how this ramshackle crew got together and made this magic. By Saturday, with two shows under the belt, the energy is immediately higher. The show kicks off with Alice, a highlight from the 2013 album Calendar Days that sounds like REM's Losing My Religion if it were set in the Northern Territory on a scorching summer's day. The setlist is similar but for the addition of the 'ancient' Flying Teatowel Blues, a strange, epic beast of a song that takes its cues from spaghetti westerns and shows the band's versatility. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion The easy repartee reminds us of where we are and who they are. 'Who can recite their CRN number?' Montfort says before the band plays New Start Again, the title track from their 2011 debut album. During the anthemic Head Back, the crowd roars 'burn the flag' in unison – a lyric that clearly captures a mood in 2025. These songs are evergreen. Dick Diver's value today is in more than just remembering the past: here is a band who manage to both embody the larrikinism of Australian culture and provide a howl of truth about what it means to live here, what it means to live at all. A Dick Diver show, rare and special as it is now, is a look both back and forward: things change, things stay the same.

The AFL grand final is seven weeks away - but airlines are already being accused of RIPPING OFF fans of one famous club
Footy fans have fumed at several airlines after multiple carriers have upped their prices for flights into Melbourne ahead of this year's Grand Final on Saturday, September 27. Specifically, Adelaide Crows fans, hoping their side might reach their first Grand Final at the MCG since 2017, could be forced to pay hefty air fares if they're looking to travel to Melbourne on the eve of the showpiece event. Matthew Nicks' side are flying high as we head into the final three regular-season matches, with the Crows having won six matches on the bounce, which culminated this weekend in their massive 101-87 victory against Hawthorn. While they sit joint top of the league, tied on 60 points with the Crows, the club's fans are preparing for the possible eventuality that they could be in for a trip to Melbourne for Grand Final day. While there is a long way to go for the Crows, who haven't won a premiership since 1998, and also haven't qualified for finals in eight years, some fans have been left aggrieved at the shocking prices some airlines are charging to get from the City of Churches to Melbourne around Grand Final weekend. On Friday, September 26, the day before the big match, Virgin Australia is offering economy tickets to fly from Adelaide to Melbourne Tullamarine, with the lowest-priced seats coming in at $250. Economy fares on two flights at 8:40am and 11:50am are both on sale for $791 - the top priced figures. Qantas has also upped its fees on Grand Final eve, with economy tickets for flights leaving Adelaide at 10:05am and 12:15pm set to cost Crows fans $785. The airline is also offering fares on Thursday, September 25. The top-priced economy fare for that day is set to also set fans back $437. Jetstar has priced its top fares on Grand Final eve at $350. One Crows fan told Seven News: 'It just ruins what should be one of the best days of the season.' 'Make the people happy, let them get over there. It's about going over for the Grand Final or a final and having a ball,' another fan said. Crows fan and mum of two, Kim Skypyrek, said the fees were 'insane'. 'Fair enough if it's one person and they've saved some money but it's really hard for people to be able to afford that,' she told Northern Territory News. Qantas has also upped its fees on Grand Final eve, with economy tickets for flights leaving Adelaide at 10:05am and 12:15pm set to cost Crows fans $785 'If it came down to it we'd just send my husband (Michael) and our son (Ambrose) so that they could go and enjoy it.' But there are other ways fans can get to the footy and dodge the high air fares. Fans can take the train, but that entails an 11-hour journey and is likely to cost around $150. Meanwhile, other fans are arranging their own transport and will embark on an eight-hour trip via bus to Melbourne, should the Crows reach the final. 'A group of twelve of us can drive over, hire a bus and rent out a house cheaper than [the cost of] flights for four,' Skypyrek added. 'Regardless of who's in it, whether we get to go into the grand final or not, we just want to be in Melbourne for the weekend and experience it.'

Axed Love Islander Emma addresses villa feud as she reveals Islander she was 'scared' to speak to and secret rows that were never aired "I thought oh he's going to rehab. "Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?" Emma, who was recently given the boot from the show, told how she first became aware of his telly gig when she saw his Instagram post.

Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly. "None of it was serious." 3
