Prince Andrew’s current predicament has just prompted writer Christopher Smithers to pen a piece for Express UK where he’s highlighted the former Duke’s downfall as well as current woes.

For those unversed, just a few days ago Prince Andrew released a public statement via Bucknigham Palace. In it he promised to forgo the public use of his titles and honours, in order to “put my duty to my family and country first”.

However, it did not go over as expected with many a people calling on Parliament to take measures to properly strip Prince Andrew of said titles, instead of just not using them in public.

More recently though comments made by his late accuser Virginia Giuffre in her memoir Nobody’s Girl took note of some of his more shocking personality traits, which have been called ‘entitled’.

This prompted the writer to note down how this decision may effect this ‘sense of entitlement’ that the prince allegedly felt, as per Ms Giuffre, when it came to having sexual relations with her.

“Andrew was untouchable for easily understandable reasons, which he clearly felt he was entitled to exploit to the full as and when the mood took him,” the expert began by saying.

And “on a human level and under any other circumstances very few people who hold such extreme feelings of entitlement would be tolerated and society at large has a funny habit of levelling a playing field,” Mr Smithers added.

Which is why he feels “the loss of his titles does level the playing field somewhat, with the sheer scale of the brouhaha surrounding it being enough to make one giddy.”

Mariah just became MusiCares’ Person of the Year for 2026.

MusiCares, a nonprofit organization that supports musicians in times of financial, personal, or medical need, announced that they would honour the Emotions singer on a gala that will be held on January 30, 2026.

Reacting to the news, Mariah expressed her happiness through her official Instagram post, writing, “I’m so honored to be named the 2026 MusiCares’ Person of the Year.”

“Grateful to be celebrated through this special GRAMMY Week event, raising vital funds to support the music community year-round,” she added.

Amid the event, producers will celebrate Mariah’s “extraordinary career as well as her long-standing commitment to supporting communities and people in need.”

It is also pertinent to mention that in the past, the Believe hitmaker has contributed to relief efforts for the communities impacted by Hurricane Katrina and the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are honoured to recognise Mariah Carey as this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year, a true creative force and once-in-a-generation talent,” praised Harvey Mason Jr., chief executive officer of the Recording Academy and MusiCares.

“Her artistry and her voice have helped shape the sound of our times. We look forward to celebrating her remarkable career on this very special night,” he added.

The Person of the Year benefit gala will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center and will take place two nights before the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Mariah Carey joins a distinguished list of MusiCares honourees, including Jon Bon Jovi, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, and Fleetwood Mac.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have joined ‘unprecedented coalition’ after major warning from the experts.

The California-based royal couple released a big statement after the move.

They shared the statement via their Archewell Foundation.

It reads, “Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked to join an unprecedented coalition of world-renowned leaders including AI scientists, experts, policy makers, and researchers in calling for a prohibition on the development of AI superintelligence until the technology is reliably safe and controllable and has public buy-in.”

This first of its kind coalition is remarkably ideologically diverse and global, signaling strong concern about the future of AI technology.

They further said superintelligence is defined as artificial intelligence capable of outperforming all humans at most cognitive tasks.

Leading AI experts believe that such systems are less than ten years away and warn that “we do not know how to control superintelligence were it to be created.”

“While innovation in AI offers incredible potential for progress, rushing toward superintelligence without safeguards could have unthinkable consequences for humanity,” they added.

Joining this coalition affirms Meghan and Harry’s continued commitment to advocating for responsible technology, both as digital safety advocates and as parents.
