Prince Harry joined Britons and the royal family to honour an important figure via a heartfelt message.

For the unversed, the broadcasting legend and conservationist, Sir David Attenborough, is celebrating his 100th birthday today, May 8.

He has been receiving warm wishes from the UK and around the world.

One of those greetings came from Montecito. King Charles’ youngest son acknowledged the efforts made by Sir David for a better environment.

Writing in Time Magazine, Harry said, “Sir David Attenborough is more than a broadcaster; he is a secular saint.”

The Duke of Sussex added, “He is an institutional pillar as essential to the national fabric as a cup of tea.

“His almost-whispers have been the soft soundtrack of the home—a shared experience that turned the weekend nature documentary into a national ritual.”

Archie and Lilibet’s father showered praises on Sir David for showing the world that our environment is worth appreciating through his lens.

Lauding his “measured demeanour and lack of any conceivable agenda,” Harry called natural historian “a man who has quite literally seen it all.”

He concluded his message expressing gratitude towards Sir David for spending his entire life delivering information and facts with patience, honesty, and wonder.”

“The question now is whether those with the power to act will choose to lead before more of our world—our life support system—is lost,” Harry asked.

It is important to note that the Prince of Wales also appeared in a new video, wishing Sir David a very happy birthday.

The future King said, “Thank you so much for all your support with the Earthshot Prize, and everything you do continues to inspire me.” 

Ariana Grande’s upcoming project petal is not just a regular old breakup album.

A little over a week after announcing her 8th studio album, the pop star took to her Instagram on Thursday, May 7, to offer the first real glimpse into what fans can expect from her new music.

“Petal [is] basically about something that is full of life, growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging,” Grande says in the video, which shows her addressing her team.

The Grammy-winner, who is currently in a relationship with actor Ethan Slater, then shared that petal is a breakup album — although not in the traditional sense.

“It’s kind of about breaking up with all different kinds of negative attachments, whether it’s monsters in my own head, external voices, things that no longer serve me,” she explained, adding that she “can be talking about one thing, sharing one thing, and people could use it however they want and apply it to their own life.”

But most importantly, Grande is not holding back anymore. “It’s a little feral as well. It’s definitely from a place where I’ve been maybe too shy or polite to tap into before. And this kinda just feels like ‘fuck it,’” she admitted.

Petal (stylised in lowercase) is set to release on July 31, marking her first musical project since 2023’s eternal sunshine. 

Billie Eilish is doubling down on her most controversial take yet.

On Thursday, May 7, the Grammy-winning popstar took to her Instagram Stories to respond to the backlash she received after declaring in an interview last week that one cannot claim to be an animal lover while also eating meat.

Sharing multiple videos — some clipped from documentaries — of the animal abuse that occurs within the meat and dairy industries, the 24-year-old wrote “I really don’t give a goddamn f**k” about the backlash.

“Go watch a documentary or two and some footage of what is done to the animals u claim to love and what it does to the planet u pretend to love as well,” continued Eilish in the next Story. “if that footage was hard for u to watch i encourage u to pls take a look at urself.”

The WILDFLOWER hitmaker said that she’s “so tired” that something like “standing up” and “having empathy for living beings” is seen as “controversial.”

She added that her critics are in a state of cognitive dissonance, i.e., the mental tension when one’s thoughts and beliefs (in this case, loving animals) do not align with their actions (exploiting animals for food, entertainment, or clothing).

“pls continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and denial and try to convince urself that ur not living a lie,” she concluded, signing off with a simple kiss emoji.

The backlash erupted after Eilish revealed the “one hill she would die on” in an April 28 interview with Elle magazine. Raised as a vegetarian and becoming a vegan at age 12, Eilish’s answer was: “Eating meat is inherently wrong.”

She went on to explain: “Two things cannot coincide: ‘I love all animals so much and I eat meat.’ You just can’t do both, sorry! You can eat meat, go for it. You can love animals — but you can’t do both.”

As a huge environmentalist, Eilish has consistently put her own words into action. Her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour from 2024-2025 is often hailed for being eco-friendly, including the use of plant-based food and reusable water bottles.
