Arrest made in connection to robbery of Seattle home of rapper Macklemore
Seattle detectives arrested a man in connection with the June robbery of rapper Macklemore’s home in the neighborhood of Capitol Hill, police said Thursday.
The 29-year-old man, whose name was not released, from Renton, Washington, is expected to face criminal charges related to the home invasion and robbery in the coming days. He was arrested for a separate Seattle robbery after law enforcement served a search warrant at his home on Aug. 21, police said.
Seattle police collaborated with the sheriff’s office in King County, which includes Seattle, and the Renton Police Department, who have been investigating other high-profile burglaries targeting celebrities and sports stars.
The investigation led law enforcement to a jewelry store in south Seattle where multiple items from Macklemore’s home and other homes recently burglarized were found, police said.
Macklemore’s home was robbed on June 7, police said. The rapper’s 22-year-old nanny called 911 to report two men who crept into the home through an unlocked door and attacked her with bear spray. The rapper’s three children were in bed at the time, according to Entertainment Tonight.
The suspects robbed the house and stole thousands of dollars of personal items, including “one very distinguishable Seattle Sounders ring with the owner’s name on it.”
Macklemore is a minority owner of the Seattle Sounders soccer team, according to the club, and has shown his MLS Cup ring in his music videos. In one song, he rapped, “I was supposed to be a one-hit ringer, now I’ve got too many rings and not enough fingers.”
The Princess of Wales arrived in west Wales to tour the family-run business as part of her ongoing efforts to champion British textile producers and independent enterprises.
The Princess, 44, put on a stylish display as she visited Melin Tregwynt, a woollen mill weaving traditional Welsh designs in a remote wooded valley on the Pembrokeshire coast.
During her trip to the far west of the country on Tuesday, February 3, Catherine saw a woollen mill, which creates unique blankets and other products using longstanding practices.
Kensington Palace released Princess Kate’s video from the site, sharing details of the future queen’s engagements.
The visits are part of Princess Kate’s ongoing immersion in the textile and fashion industry as she highlights the heritage skills and modern work techniques that go into creating beautiful, original garments.
Her day out also includes visiting a brand once backed by sister-in-law Meghan Markle. Hiut Denim, a premium jeans manufacturer based in Cardigan that was propelled to international attention after being worn by the Duchess of Sussex.
The Welsh brand holds a notable place in recent royal fashion history, having been thrust into the global spotlight in 2018 when Harry’s wife chose Hiut’s high-waisted Dina skinny jeans for an official visit to Cardiff alongside Prince Harry.
She kicked off the day at Melin Tregwynt, about 260 miles west of London, which dates from 1841 and is still employing over 40 local people who create woollen blankets, scarves and cushions that are sold across the world.
She was taken around by the mill’s director, Louise Clarke, and shown how the mill is preserving traditional craft skills by drawing on generations of expertise among its staff to mentor and inspire the latest young apprentices.
The Walt Disney Co. named parks chief Josh D’Amaro to succeed Bob Iger as CEO of the entertainment company.
D’Amaro, who currently oversees Disney’s theme parks and dozens of its resort hotels, will take the helm of the company on March 18, 2026, the company said Tuesday.
The decision on Disney’s next CEO comes nearly four years after Iger returned to the company following the departure of his previous successor, Bob Chapek, after a period marked by clashes, missteps and weaker financial performance.
D’Amaro, 54, has held multiple roles at Disney since joining the company in 1998, including in finance, business strategy, marketing, creative development and operations.
D’Amaro served as president of Walt Disney World Resort before stepping in as chairman of Disney Experiences in 2020, spearheading efforts at the company’s theme parks, cruises and resorts division.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced a delay in its much-anticipated Artemis-II mission by at least a month.
The reason for the delay is the detection of fuel leaks during a crucial pre-launch test of the rocket by engineers.
For Artemis II, four astronauts were about to start a 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. It was scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
However, NASA has now announced that the launch is delayed until March, with no specific date.
The problem was identified during a “wet dress rehearsal,” a full countdown simulation in which the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket was loaded with super-cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
During the fueling process, engineers detected hydrogen leaks. Additionally, there was an issue with a valve linked to the Orion crew capsule.
More than 2.6 million litres of propellant were loaded during the test, which was halted several times to address safety concerns.
Officials confirmed that the teams will conduct a detailed review of the data and may carry out another rehearsal before clearing the rocket for flight.
