Why Princess Charlene and Her Twins Have Been Forced to "Drop Out" of an International Trip With Prince Albert
Princess Charlene of Monaco has made a major announcement about a previously planned international trip. Rather than traveling to Japan with husband Prince Albert, and their 10-year-old twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, Charlene has shared a press release revealing why she's been forced to "drop out" of the trip.
Per a press release from Monaco's Royal Family, "H.S.H. Prince Albert Il will travel to Japan on the occasion of Monaco's National Day, celebrated on June 28, 2025, as part of the World Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai." The press release further explained that Albert would instead be accompanied by his sister, Princess Stéphanie, her three children—Louis Ducruet, Pauline Ducruet, and Camille Gottlieb, as well as Louis's wife, Marie Ducruet.
As for why Albert's wife and children needed to cancel their involvement in the trip, the press release stated, "H.S.H. Princess Charlene was due to accompany H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince of Monaco to Japan, together with Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella. In light of current events taking place in the Middle East, this has led to the decision that H.S.H. Princess Charlene and the Princely children would not be participating in this trip."
As reported by People, despite Princess Charlene deciding to "drop out" of the trip, she still "wishe[d] to express her sincere thanks to the teams of the Monaco Pavilion, as well as to the partners and hosts who were to welcome her in Japan, for their understanding and ongoing commitment," per a press release.
Despite missing the trip to Japan, Princess Charlene is set to celebrate a special milestone with husband Prince Albert next month. The pair tied the knot in a civil ceremony on July 1, 2011, meaning 2025 marks their 14th wedding anniversary.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted on Ohio Date as They ‘Soak Up Every Minute' Together
THE RUNDOWN Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were in New York City this Saturday, enjoying dinner out. This evening, photos emerged of the couple out again—this time in Ohio, Kelce's home state. DeuxMoi ran a photo of the pair having a lunch date. Swift stood out in a white blouse and tan pleated skirt. She had her hair up in a ponytail, while Kelce had his back turned to the camera. The sighting comes the same day People published a new report on Kelce and Swift's nearly two-year relationship—and how the past few months have changed it for the better. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and singer have been enjoying their downtime from work together, with Swift having wrapped her Eras Tour in December. Kelce finished his NFL season at the Super Bowl this February. He'll return to training camp later this summer. The pair has spent the majority of this time out of the public eye, but they are thriving in private. 'It's been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways,' People's source explained. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.' The insider added, 'Taylor and Travis are soaking up every minute of this slower season together. They've been splitting their time between New York, Nashville, and a few quiet getaways, just enjoying each other's company without all the usual chaos. This kind of downtime is rare for both of them, and it's really allowed their bond to deepen.' The source also spoke about how momentous it was for Swift to buy the masters for her first six albums. 'Having Travis by her side for that milestone made it even more special,' the insider said. 'He was honored to support her, and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.'

Blake Lively Subpoenas Perez Hilton and Candace Owens in Effort to Prove Justin Baldoni's Alleged Smear Campaign
Blake Lively has issued subpoenas to content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore in her legal battle with Justin Baldoni Online commentator Owens said in a statement that she has "not the slightest idea what I am being subpoenaed" Baldoni's lawyer has previously given shoutouts to the "internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity"Blake Lively's lawyers are issuing subpoenas to content creators Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore in a quest to prove Justin Baldoni's alleged smear campaign. TMZ was first to report the new development, citing a source, on Tuesday, July 1, that Hilton, Owens and Signore were given notice of subpoenas in Lively's ongoing legal battle against Baldoni, the It Ends With Us costar-director she accused of sexual harassment and retaliation, which he denies. Owens, a divisive online commentator who has gained millions of views on her Lively videos, said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, "Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake's team leaking this to TMZ to alert me to it. And, of course, I have not the slightest idea what I am being subpoenaed for as I knew none of these parties when their respective lawsuits were filed. But stay tuned, and I'll let audiences know on my podcast." Hilton and Signore did not immediately respond toPEOPLE's requests for comment. Reps for Lively and Baldoni separatelydeclined to comment. Hilton (born Mario Lavandeira) is a longtime celebrity blogger who has been covering the actors' saga, and he was even featured in the documentary about the case, In Dispute: Lively vs. Baldoni. He has previously been legally represented by Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman. Signore makes videos about celebrity trials on a YouTube channel, and in one video shared an "exclusive" statement from Freedman before major news outlets published the same comment later. is now available in the Apple App Store!

Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against Lively and Reynolds, which alleged extortion and defamation, was dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman in June, and Baldoni's team ultimately declined to amend and move forward with their claims. Lively, 37, has also issued a subpoena to music exec Scooter Braun and his company. (Braun stepped down from his CEO role at HYBE on July 1.) Baldoni, 41, at one point subpoenaed Taylor Swift, a close friend of Lively's, though that has since been withdrawn. Still, the judge blocked Lively's motion for a protective order to prevent her texts with the pop star from getting into Baldoni's team's hands. It was previously indicated that Baldoni's team also considered subpoenaing another of Lively's friends, actor Hugh Jackman. Baldoni's legal team has previously given shoutouts to content creators making videos about the legal battle. In a June 10 message after their lawsuit was dismissed, Freedman said, "We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public and for the dedication of the internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity." In her complaint, Lively's lawyers alleged that Baldoni and his publicists orchestrated an online smear campaign to tarnish her image, writing: "the Wayfarer team seeded social media content with content creators, on online chat sites like Reddit, and into publications with small audiences and lax editorial standards; the team would then 'amplify' that content by sharing them with publications ... [that] have larger audiences and greater reach, which significantly increased the negative sentiment toward Ms. Lively." Baldoni's lawyers, however, say any ill will directed at Lively was her own doing, and bad press that happened around the It Ends With Us release in August 2024 was an organic response that needed no fueling. Freedman said on a podcast in March, "The publicists are saying, 'We had nothing to do with this whatsoever.' And there's other people that say the same thing and that organically this press was coming out. Justin wasn't happy about anything that would be negative about Blake, about the movie, about him or anything. This wasn't just about him or just about her. This was about the project they were working on together." The trial is currently scheduled to be held in March 2026. Read the original article on People
