Prince Harry took a moment away from the stage at the IAPP Global Summit 2026 to sit down with Joe Jones, the organisation’s Director of Research.

The candid conversation revealed a surprisingly heartfelt side of the Duke of Sussex.

When Jones posed the question, “What gives you hope?” Harry didn’t pause. 

“Everybody in this room,” he replied, turning the spotlight on the privacy professionals, tech experts, and policymakers gathered in Washington, D.C.

He went on to express his gratitude, saying, “I would like to say to everybody here, thank you for what you do.” 

The Duke’s appearance on Tuesday came just weeks after it was confirmed he won’t be joining his father in Washington, D.C. next month. 

King Charles and Queen Camilla are scheduled for a high-profile state visit to the U.S., celebrating 250 years of American independence.

The crew operating two Apache helicopters that were seen hovering outside the home of singer and rapper Kid Rock over the weekend has been suspended from flying, a spokesperson for the Army said Tuesday.

The aircrew has been grounded while the Army conducts a formal investigation into why the AH-64 helicopters flew near the singer’s Nashville house and a No Kings protest during a training mission.

Army spokesperson Maj. Montrell Russell said in a statement that the investigation will look into “the circumstances surrounding the mission, including compliance with relevant FAA regulations, aviation safety protocol, and approval requirements.”

“The Army takes any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously and is committed to enforcing standards and holding personnel accountable,” Russell said.  

It is not clear what the purpose of the training mission was. It was also not immediately clear how many people the suspension affected.

Kid Rock said in an interview with local ABC affiliate WKRN that he thinks the crew is “going to be alright.”

“My buddy’s commander-in-chief,” he added, referring to President Trump. He also said he doesn’t know what the Army is looking into, as the helicopters “stopped for, I don’t know, seconds? A minute?” 

The singer said, “It’s not the first time they’ve flown over my house,” noting the pilots fly from Fort Campbell and he often sees the helicopters.

After Kid Rock posted two videos of the helicopters on social media Saturday, Maj. Jonathon Bless, a spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division, said in a statement Monday that the Army had opened an investigation into the incident, adding they “take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.”

The videos Kid Rock shared on social media show helicopters hovering outside his home. One video shows him standing poolside next to a replica of the Statue of Liberty, clapping wildly, as the helicopter hovers. He salutes the pilots before they fly away. 

A second video shows Kid Rock pumping his fist as the helicopter flies away.

In his interview with WKRN, Kid Rock said he spoke to pilots at Fort Campbell last year during a Thanksgiving celebration. The singer, who appeared at the holiday event with Vice President JD Vance, said he told the pilots they are “always welcome” to cruise by his house. 

He told WKRN he thinks it’s a great thing if it made the pilots happy to fly by his house and “it’s harmless.”

Severe weather is forecasted for the central United States as April begins, with threats of tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail.

Experts have also raised concerns about flooding through the first week of the month.

As reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a stationary front stretching from the Northeast California will remain nearly in place through Thursday, April 2.

It is expected that multiple rounds of disruptive thunderstorms will hit the central states.

The most severe weather threat on Tuesday was focused from southern Michigan to northeast Illinois, and then into northern Indiana and Ohio.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center issued a slight risk, level 2 of 5, for parts of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley through Wednesday morning.

Damaging winds and large hail are also possible.

For Plains and Mississippi, there’s a severe threat forecast on Wednesday, April 1, stretching from central Texas through Kansas into Missouri.

By Thursday, April 2, the threat will shift to the Midwest, with storms capable of producing strong wind gusts and hail from northern Arkansas to southern Michigan.

Meanwhile, freezing rain and snow will occur in the far north tier, with winter precipitation occurring in the Upper Mississippi Valley, the Great Lakes, and the Northeast through the mid-week period.

Total rainfall amounts from Texas to the Great Lakes and central Appalachians are predicted to range from 1 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches possible.
