Royals The Daily Royal Crisis: Kate with straight hair and Rose’s denial The British royal family abhors being referred to as celebrities or influencers. This is ridiculous – they are celebrities, they are the OG influencers, and over the last three months, they have courted more controversy than any Hollywood celebrity and any TikTok influencer.

Royals The Kate Waldo Photo: Meta Data and the Mother Card It’s been 24 hours since Princess Kate’s unprecedented public apology and admission that she doctored the photo that she released on Mother’s Day in the UK, a backfired effort to shut down rampant speculation about her … existence.

TV Updates Sydney Sweeney’s SNL Runway Some SNL hosts keep it really low-key during the production week.
