King Charles made a heartfelt confession in his personal message as he bid farewell to the US alongside Queen Camilla.

On April 30, the four-day headline-making US tour of the royal couple came to an end, and to express gratitude towards the Americans for their hospitality, the King and Queen released a statement.  

“Farewell and thank you for the warmth of your welcome and the kind support you gave us throughout our first visit to the US as King and Queen, in this, your special anniversary year,” they penned. 

The message reads, “We leave a piece of our [heart] behind and take a little of yours back home with us, until the next time… God Bless America. Charles R. & Camilla R.”

It is important to note that it was the British Monarch’s first statement after Meghan Markle was accused of grabbing the spotlight with her unexpected response to the Australia trip. 

In conversation with The Australian Women’s Weekly, the Duchess of Sussex said, “My husband and I have such an affinity for Australia. I said to him the day we were flying out. The only thing better than Australia are Australians.”

She also expressed her passion for fashion and discussed making choices that positively impact society.

Notably, King Charles, in his message, also mentioned that he is leaving a piece of his heart behind, as, despite being so close to Archie and Lilibet, the meeting between grandpa and grandsons remains a dream. 

It could be a hint towards the Sussexes about his love for them. 

Zoë Kravitz is letting the ring do the talking – and fans definitely heard it loud and clear.

Just days after reports confirmed that the actress and filmmaker is engaged to Harry Styles, Kravitz stepped out in New York City casually flashing what might be one of the year’s most discussed celebrity engagement rings.

Wrapped in a brown suede shearling jacket with an oversized black tote in hand, the High Fidelity star looked effortlessly low-key – except for the massive diamond peeking out from under her sleeve.

And according to jewelry experts? That sparkle is doing serious heavy lifting.

Several experts believe the ring features a radiant or cushion-cut diamond set in yellow gold, estimating the stone could weigh anywhere between five and 10 carats.

Translation: Harry did not exactly shop small. Some estimates place the value north of $600,000.

The engagement confirmation comes after months of increasingly hard-to-ignore sightings. The pair first sparked romance rumours in August 2025 after being photographed walking arm in arm through Rome. Soon after, Deuxmoi claimed the two had been spotted kissing at a London hotspot.

At the time, a source told People magazine the former One Direction star was “spending time with Kravitz while she’s been on her [Caught Stealing] press run.”

Since then, the couple’s been spotted bouncing between London and New York, looking very much like two people building a shared life away from the chaos.

“They seem very serious and focused on prioritizing time together,” a source told the outlet in February.

Another insider added the couple shared the engagement news with only “a small circle,” while Kravitz has happily been showing the ring off to friends.

VANCOUVER: Palestinian football federation President Jibril Rajoub refused to take part in a photo opportunity with Israel soccer official Basim Sheikh Suliman in a tense incident at the end of Fifa’s Congress on Thursday.

After both Rajoub and Suliman had addressed delegates, Fifa President Gianni Infantino invited both men to stand alongside him.

However Rajoub declined the gesture, refusing repeated attempts by Infantino to encourage him to participate in the moment.

At one point Rajoub could be heard to say: “We are suffering.”

The Palestinian Football Association recently appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over Fifa’s refusal to sanction Israel over football clubs based in the West Bank.

The PFA maintains that clubs based in West Bank settlements should not be allowed to compete in leagues controlled by Israeli football authorities.

In 2024, United Nations experts said at least eight football clubs had been identified as playing in “Israeli colonial settlements” and called on Fifa to “fulfil its responsibility to respect human rights”.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Rajoub called on Fifa to “apply the statutes with fairness, with logic.”

“What’s going on in Palestine is terrible, destroying all the Palestinian sport facilities in Gaza, the killings of hundreds of Palestinian athletes, employees… I think it’s now the time to make justice,” Rajoub said.

“The guy who spoke on behalf of Israel, he did not even pay attention to the suffering, to what’s going on.

“I refused to shake hands. How can I shake hands or have a photo with such a man?”
