Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Rs 1,162 Crore Montecito Mansion Marked In Tsunami Warning Zone
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Montecito mansion is in a tsunami advisory zone after an 8.8 earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, affecting California's coast. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Montecito mansion has been included in a tsunami advisory zone after a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, Daily Mail reported. The Sussexes live in the upscale town of Montecito, Santa Barbara County, with their children Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. Their $14 million home came under the advisory issued by the US National Tsunami Warning Center late Tuesday night, according to the newspaper. The alert covered large parts of California's coast, including Santa Barbara, and warned residents to stay away from beaches and avoid entering the sea. Authorities said the risk 'may continue for several hours after the initial wave". The quake, one of the most powerful ever recorded, sent tsunami waves as high as 12 feet across the Pacific, triggering evacuation orders from Hawaii to Japan. Almost two million people in Japan were told to move to higher ground. According to the Daily Mail report, the quake struck near Petropavlovsk in Russia's sparsely populated Far East and was the strongest since the 2011 Japan quake and tsunami. While the epicentre was far from dense population centres, the tsunami risk extended all the way to the US West Coast. The report said the first waves began reaching Hawaii and California by Wednesday morning. In Hawaii, sirens rang out overnight, and residents were seen fleeing to higher ground, causing long traffic jams. The Galapagos Islands off Ecuador also shut schools and tourist areas as a precaution. This is not the first time Harry and Meghan's Montecito home has faced a natural disaster threat. Back in January, Daily Mail reported that their residence came under a similar evacuation watch during California's wildfires. At the time, authorities warned residents in their area to prepare for possible evacuation as fires spread near Los Angeles. The couple moved to California in January 2020 after stepping back from royal duties. Montecito is home to several A-list celebrities and has seen a rise in climate-related alerts in recent years. While the tsunami advisory has since been downgraded in several regions, officials in the US and Japan have warned of possible aftershocks and urged continued caution. view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 22:57 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Prince William announces major development in his bid to end homelessness
It has emerged that a building in South London owned by Prince William's Duchy of Cornwall estate is being transformed into 16 affordable flats for young people Prince William has announced the latest stage of his social housing project to help eradicate homelessness. A property in south London owned by William's Duchy of Cornwall estate will be converted into 16 flats to provide affordable homes for 18 to 25-year-olds. The new "Innovative Housing Project" is in the London borough of Lambeth, one of six locations Homewards is working in to create a blueprint to ending homelessness in all its forms, and it will be completed in partnership with homeless charity Centrepoint, which William supports as patron. A planning proposal has been endorsed by Lambeth Council's planning applications committee, signalling work can begin as soon as possible with homes expected to be prepared with residents moving in by the end of 2026. It is the latest stage of the Prince of Wales' Homewards project, launched in 2023. The five-year locally led programme aims at demonstrating that together it is possible to end homelessness: making it "rare, brief, and unrepeated". Homewards has set out a plan to "take a transformative approach to the issue of homelessness and put collaboration at its heart", giving six flagship locations new space, tools, and relationships to showcase what can be achieved through a collective effort focused on preventing homelessness in their areas. The scheme is establishing more than 100 local initiatives to assist the project. William marked Homewards's second anniversary this summer by saying his programme was now in "delivery mode" and the Lambeth initiative is the third Innovative Housing Project to be launched. Seyi Obakin, Centrepoint's chief executive, said: "Centrepoint is committed to ending youth homelessness in the UK and we know that can only be achieved through collaborative effort. "We are pleased to work in partnership with Homewards, the Duchy of Cornwall and Lambeth Council to demonstrate that eradicating youth homelessness is achievable. "By linking rent to individual income levels, this Innovative Housing Project offers more than shelter - it offers young people the stepping stone they need to pursue their careers, build financial resilience and transition out of homelessness for good. "Through this project, we will demonstrate the effectiveness of this housing model and, hopefully, inspire similar solutions across the country." The Lambeth project aims to act as a bridge between supported accommodation and the private rented sector with Centrepoint managing the homes and expanding their Independent Living Programme, which aims to break the cycle of homelessness. The flats will be provided to young people already employed, with a number allocated to those moving towards employment, to test a new model to get people into housing and jobs at the same time. With the planning proposal now endorsed by Lambeth Council's planning applications committee, work is expected to begin as soon as possible. Homewards was also involved in the design of the Duchy of Cornwall's first housing project to address homelessness in Nansledan, for which work is already underway. Some 300 homes - a mixture of empty accommodation, private rentals and new builds - are forecast to be delivered through Homewards's Innovative Housing Projects. The first residents moved into flats in Aberdeen in March after Homewards brought together a local housing association, high street retailers and others to provide and furnish the property, and the second Innovative Housing Project, launched in Sheffield. saw tenants move into their new homes in June.

Analysts reboot Cloudflare stock price target ahead of earnings
Analysts reboot Cloudflare stock price target ahead of earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. Matthew Prince won't back down. The co-founder and chief executive of cybersecurity Cloudflare () warned that search traffic referrals have plummeted as people increasingly rely on artificial intelligence summaries to answer their queries, forcing many publishers to reevaluate their business models. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 While search engines and AI chatbots include links to original sources, publishers can only derive advertising revenue if readers click through. "The future of the web is going to be more and more like AI, and that means that people are going to be reading the summaries of your content, not the original content," Prince told Axios last month. Early this month, Cloudflare announced that it had become the first Internet infrastructure provider to block AI crawlers accessing content without permission or compensation, by default. Prince noted in a statement that "original content is what makes the Internet one of the greatest inventions in the last century, and it's essential that creators continue making it." Cloudflare CEO goes to war every single day If the Internet is going to survive the age of AI, he said, "we need to give publishers the control they deserve and build a new economic model that works for everyone – creators, consumers, tomorrow's AI founders, and the future of the web itself." And Prince is confident his company is up to the challenge.

"And you're telling me, I can't stop some nerd with a C-corporation in Palo Alto?" Cloudflare recently issued a the 22nd edition of its report on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which are malicious attempts to overwhelm a web property with traffic to disrupt its normal operations. June was the busiest month for DDoS attacks during the second quarter, the company said, accounting for nearly 38% of all observed activity. One notable target was an independent Eastern European news outlet protected by Cloudflare, which reported being attacked following its coverage of a local Pride parade during LGBTQ Pride Month. "We've just crossed halfway through 2025, and so far Cloudflare has already blocked 27.8 million DDoS attacks, equivalent to 130% of all the DDoS attacks we blocked in the full calendar year 2024," the company said. Companies are understandably concerned about protecting themselves and global cybersecurity spending is expected to grow by 12.2% this year, according to the IDC Worldwide Security Spending Guide The increasing complexity and frequency of cyberthreats — accelerated by generative AI and AI in general — are driving organizations worldwide to adopt more advanced defensive measures, IDC said. As a result, security spending is expected to see sustained growth throughout the 2023–2028 forecast period, reaching $377 billion in 2028. Analyst says cybersecurity will remain robust Cloudflare is slated to report second-quarter results on July 31 and investment firms have cited corporate cybersecurity spending as a factor for adjusting their price targets for the company's shares.

The firm noted positive data points heading into the earnings report, including positive attainment data, and continues to view Cloudflare as the earliest beneficiary of the AI opportunity in its coverage universe. Jefferies raised the firm's price target on Cloudflare to $200 from $150 and kept a hold rating on the shares. The firm said that it believes cybersecurity spend will remain "robust" and continue to hold a "steady percentage" of software budgets in the coming years. Jefferies said that it is keeping a favorable view on security for the long-term saying it has taken on greater importance. Mizuho raised the firm's price target on Cloudflare to $220 from $155 and kept an outperform rating on the shares as part of a second-quarter earnings preview for the software group. The firm said its second quarter checks were good overall, with cybersecurity demand "generally healthy" and AI adoption "very strong. However, the fundamental upside in the quarter could be constrained, as several contacts noted a slightly higher-than expected number of deal push-outs, where a deal's expected close date is pushed to a later time.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle caught in tsunami scare as Hawaii and California on alert
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's California neighborhood was placed under a tsunami advisory following a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia's Pacific coast. The quake, one of the strongest recorded globally in recent years, prompted tsunami warnings across several regions, including Japan, Hawaii, Alaska, and the US West Coast. The couple's Montecito residence in Santa Barbara County lies within the affected coastal zone, though officials have clarified that evacuations are not currently required. Authorities have urged residents in advisory areas to avoid beaches and remain cautious near coastal waters, as wave activity could persist for hours. This marks the second time this year that the Sussexes' Montecito estate has faced natural threats. Earlier in 2025, their area was classified as high risk during California's wildfire season, with residents placed on standby for potential evacuations. Harry and Meghan purchased their nine-bedroom home for $14.65 million in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties. Property estimates now value the estate at over $29 million, reflecting significant appreciation in the high-demand coastal region. The Pacific-wide advisory follows confirmed tsunami activity in parts of Japan and Russia's Kuril Islands. Japan's meteorological agency reported waves measuring up to 60 cm, with evacuation advisories issued to nearly one million people. No major injuries or damage have been reported as of Wednesday morning. While Montecito remains safe for now, the event underscores the ongoing seismic risks facing coastal communities along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
