Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have truly carved out their Californian dream life in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. 

Their sprawling $29 million estate has an outdoor pool, a wine cellar, a spa over the water, and a giant playground for the little royals. But it’s the bathrooms that has everyone talking.

A video from @globalstarhomes revealed that the mansion has nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, leaving fans both baffled and amused. 

Comments poured in, “Nine bedrooms and 16 toilets. Really?” one viewer asked, while another joked, “16 thrones for the royals, nice touch!” 

Others questioned the practicality, suggesting the couple could scale down and simply enjoy the house.

Large estates often include gyms, spas, games rooms, home cinemas, and tennis courts, each usually comes with its own bathroom. 

Meghan has said the couple knew they had found the one as soon as they saw it. “You walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free,” she told The Cut. 

She also revealed a sweet detail about their garden: two palm trees connected at the bottom reminded Harry of them as a family. 

“Now every day when Archie goes by, he says, hi, momma. Hi, papa,” The Duchess said.

Harry has also spoken fondly about life in the US, telling the New York Times 2024 DealBook Summit that he enjoys the freedom to raise his children in a way they likely couldn’t experience in the UK.

Apple has announced a new financing scheme named “Flexible Finance Account” in the United Kingdom, replacing the popular iPhone Upgrade Program.

The move marks a major shift for customers accustomed to the old program, which enabled users to pay a monthly fee and upgrade to the latest iPhone on an annual basis after making 12 payments.

Another major news for iPhone users is the new program include AppleCare+ at 0%.

Apple’s U.K. website confirmed the end of the iPhone Upgrade Programme, stating, “We think you’ll love what’s next.”

The new Flexible Finance Account is referred to as a line of credit that provides “even more options” and flexibility for future Apple Store purchases.

Although some of the major offers are still interest-free, such as all the current iPhone 17 models and all the iPhone 16 models over certain terms like 20 or 24 months, the new system now applies interest rates for financing over longer terms for other products.

For instance, financing an iPad or Apple Vision Pro over 36 months will now incur a 14.9% APR.

Although the upgrade plan changes in the U.K., it will remain the same in the U.S. and other markets.

Customers in the U.K. who are already using the service are encouraged to continue with their current payments until they qualify for an upgrade, at which point they will be moved to the new system. 

Apple points out that the new account system enables one-time approval for future purchases.

2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year in Hollywood with Marvel, Pixar, Nolan, Villeneuve, Peele, Gerwig, and Spielberg all delivering major projects.

We can expect a mix of blockbuster spectacle, nostalgic sequels and auteur-driven films that will dominate theaters and awards season.
