Prince Harry and King Charles' Aides Took a 'Good First Step': 'There's Optimism,' Insider Says (Exclusive)New Foto - Prince Harry and King Charles' Aides Took a 'Good First Step': 'There's Optimism,' Insider Says (Exclusive)

Theprivate meetingbetween two ofPrince Harry's top aides and a senior member ofKing Charles' team may mark the first step in a long-overdue thaw between the estranged father and son. That's the view of insiders, who see the quiet gathering as a crucial "first step" in what could be a long road toward reconciliation between Harry, 40, and Charles, 76 — whoseyears-long rift has left communication between them all but nonexistent. On July 9,Meredith Maines, the Duke of Sussex's chief of staff and communications director, and Liam Maguire, the Sussexes' U.K. spokesperson, were photographed meeting with Tobyn Andreae, King Charles' communications secretary.The Mail on Sundaywas first to report the discreet sit-down. The informal conversation — which took place at the Royal Over-Seas League, a private members' club just a short walk from Charles' London residence, Clarence House — included what appeared to be a gift bottle of wine brought by Andreae. Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty; Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty And, PEOPLE understands, there was plenty to discuss. "It was a good first step," says an insider. "It is always better to be talking." Maines was in London for official business tied to her role as Chief Communications Officer to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Her visit included scheduled meetings with U.K.-based members of the Sussex communications team, media contacts, stakeholders and senior figures connected to Harry's charitable work. The sit-down marked the first time either Maines or Maguire had met Andreae. Mark Cuthbert/UK Press via Getty Some close to the palace have downplayed the long-term significance of the meeting, framing it as a routine professional exchange between senior communications staff who simply need to know and understand one another. Still, the reality remains: this kind of dialogue hasn't taken place in the recent past — and now, lines of communication appear to be reopening. "It's a positive step," the insider adds. "There's optimism that it can be taken forward." Jeff J Mitchell - WPA Pool/Getty It's also not known whether Harry and Charles have spoken recently — or whether the July 9 meeting signals the start of something more meaningful. Ultimately, any real success from the talks at the London private members' club will be measured by whether Harry and Charles themselves — not just their teams — can begin to repair their fractured relationship. Related:Why Prince Harry's Invictus Games Could Reunite Him with King Charles (Exclusive) In May, Harry reaffirmed his hope for healing,telling the BBC that the door to "reconciliation" remains openfrom his side. "I would love reconciliation with my family," he said. "There's no point in continuing to fight anymore." His comments came shortly after he lost a key legal battle over his request for official security for himself and his family — a decision he has partly blamed on his father.

Teddy Bridgewater says he has been suspended by Miami HS he coached to state titleNew Foto - Teddy Bridgewater says he has been suspended by Miami HS he coached to state title

FormerNFLPro Bowl quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been suspended as the head football coach at his alma mater, Miami Northwestern High School,Bridgewater confirmed on social media on July 13. The suspension comes less than a week after Bridgewaterdetailed in a Facebook post, in which he was asking for donations for the program, that he spent $2,200 per week to feed his players pregame meals, $14,000 to conduct a training camp, $9,500 for uniforms, $1,300 a week for recovery services for players, $300 a week to keep the team's field painted and $700 for Uber rides. Bridgewater alleged that administrators at Northwestern "want me gone apparently." "The suspension came from MNW and it's impossible to suspend someone who doesn't work for you,"Bridgewater wrote. "So if im suspended from MNW im free to go to another school of my choice but IM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. And if it comes down to it, I will volunteer from the bleachers like I used to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had a problem." Teddy Bridgewater paid out of pocket for training camp ($14K), pride sets ($9,500), pregame meals ($2,200/wk), recovery ($1,300/wk), Ubers ($700/wk), field paint ($300/wk).He did this as a VOLUNTEER, not employee. We shouldn't be punishing people for improving their community.https://t.co/rfF4ezj2Iqpic.twitter.com/CC6O827b2F — Master (@MasterTes)July 14, 2025 REQUIRED READING:NFLPA leaders deny asking for Lloyd Howell's resignation, express support The Florida High School Athletic Associationconfirmed to USA TODAYthat it sent the allegation of impermissible benefits to Miami Northwestern and is "communicating with the school to gather information."FHSAA rules statethat "no school employee, athletic department staff member, or representative of a school's athletic interests…may form, direct, offer, provide, or otherwise engage in any activity outlined" in the organization's bylaw governing amateurism and name, image and likeness. In his first season as head coach, the 32-year-old Bridgewater led Miami Northwestern to a Class 3A state championship in Florida, with the Bulls winning each of their playoff games by at least 40 points. A former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, Bridgewater played in the NFL for 10 seasons, from 2014-23, before retiring after the 2023 season. He briefly came out of retirement to join his former team, theDetroit Lions, late last December for their final two regular-season games and their divisional round playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. He resumed his role as Miami Northwestern's coach shortly after that run. Bridgewater finished his NFL career with 15,120 passing yards, 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions while completing 66.4% of his passes. He was a Pro Bowler in 2015 after leading the Vikings to the playoffs, but suffered a catastrophic knee injury during a preseason practice in 2016 that nearly required his leg to be amputated and altered the trajectory of his career.

Garrett Wilson contract details: Jets agree to $130 million extension with star WRNew Foto - Garrett Wilson contract details: Jets agree to $130 million extension with star WR

Garrett Wilsonis on the receiving end of generational wealth. Wilson and theNew York Jetshave agreed to terms on a four-year, $130 million contract extension, a source confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The receiver is primed to stick around in the green-and-white for years to come after inking the extension, earning a second contract with the organization that made him the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. The former Ohio State Buckeye has been a model of consistency since arriving in the NFL. He's thrived despite poor quarterback play and remains one of the league's rising stars. As theJetscontinue to build with Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey now running the show, Wilson's contract ensures they believe he's a solution to putting a winning team on the field. Here's what to know about Wilson's new deal with the Jets. Wilson agreed to a four-year deal worth $130 million. The deal carries an average annual value (AAV) of $32.5 million, making him the fifth highest-paid wide receiver by AAVaccording to OverTheCap. Wilson is set to be the first Jets first-round pick sinceQuinnen Williamsto receive a second contract with the team. Since the rookie wage scale was introduced in 2011, the Jets have made 17 first-round picks. Of the 15 players that reached extension eligibility, only two were signed – Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson. Now Wilson has etched his name onto that list. His fellow 2022 draft pick,Sauce Gardner, will look to do the same. The 24-year-old Wilson has been everything the Jets could've hoped for when they selected him with the 10th pick in the 2022 NFL draft. He's posted at least 1,000 receiving yards in each season and has been remarkably durable, playing in all 51 games for the green-and-white. Wilson hasn't enjoyed the benefit of great quarterback play during his young NFL career, but the 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year has managed to produce regardless. Reuniting with his college quarterback, Justin Fields, might be what the doctor ordered if the former Ohio State signal caller can develop as a passer with his third NFL team. Wilson seems to be quarterback-proof, but finding a good one would go a long way towards cementing No. 5 amongst the league's best. Contributing: Tyler Dragon.

Jauan Jennings landing spots: Raiders, Titans best fits if 49ers trade WRNew Foto - Jauan Jennings landing spots: Raiders, Titans best fits if 49ers trade WR

Jauan Jenningsis entering the final year of his two-year, $15.3 million contract extension with theSan Francisco 49ers. The 49ers selected the 28-year-old wide receiver in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he is now seeking a second extension to remain in the Bay Area. Jennings reportedlywants a new contract or a trade, perESPN's Adam Schefter. San Franciscohas handed out contract extensions to its core veterans this offseason. LinebackerFred Warnerlanded a three-year,$63 million contract extensionincluding $56 million guaranteed. Meanwhile, tight endGeorge Kittleandquarterback Brock Purdyalso signed multi-year extensions this offseason. Kittle became thehighest-paid tight endin the league with his deal. Will the veteran receiver become the next piece to secure an extension, or will he be traded? JALEN RAMSEY TRADE:Dolphins deal star CB to Steelers in blockbuster move Last offseason,Brandon Aiyukfaced a similar scenario with the team, which ultimately led toan extensionin late August. Jennings' production was excellent last season when he stepped into a significant role with the offense riddled with injuries. He recorded career highs in receptions (77), yards (975) and touchdowns (6). He graded asPro Football Focus' 18th wide receiver among 223 qualifiers. The49ers traded Deebo Samuelthis offseason and Aiyuk's return date from a knee injury is uncertain; the Niners would be very thin at the position if they opted to move Jennings. However, given his breakout season and playoff experience, several teams around the NFL could consider bringing the Tennessee product into the mix. Here's a look at the top landing spots if the 49ers decide to move Jennings. The Raiders are rebuilding after hiring Pete Carroll andtrading for Geno Smith. It won't be easy to contend in the AFC West in 2025, but they could challenge for a playoff spot. Carroll has notoriously leaned on the ground game and Las Vegas is primed to do so after selectingAshton Jeantysixth overall. Kyle Shanahan has lauded Jennings' ability to block. Among receivers with at least 200 snaps on run plays in 2024, Jennings ranked No. 1 in blocking perPro Football Focus. Tight endBrock Bowersis expected to lead the team in targets whileJakobi Meyersoperates out of the slot. Las Vegas could excel by adding a perimeter receiver like Jennings to pair with second-round rookieJack Bech. NFL 18 GAME SCHEDULE:Patrick Mahomes 'not a big fan' of potential expansion There may not be another team looking to run the ball more than theJetsin 2025. New head coach Aaron Glenn, a defensive specialist, brought Tanner Engstrand with him from the Motor City to the Big Apple to serve as his offensive coordinator. They had a front row seat during their time in Detroit to watch the benefits of a dynamic run game. WithJustin Fieldsunder center, the offense could thrive with an outstanding run-blocking receiver like Jennings. The Jets have a couple of veterans on the roster inAllen LazardandJosh Reynolds, but they could use a higher-ceiling player like Jennings to add upside to the room.Garrett Wilsonis an elite receiver and can strengthen his impact with another weapon on the field. A homecoming?Cam Wardcould use additional weapons on offense. The team lacks athletic playmakers outside ofCalvin Ridley, who accounted for 49.2% of the Titans' air yards, the highest team share of any player in the NFL. Tennessee signedTyler Lockettin free agency but he will turn 33 in September. It's also worth noting that new general manager Mike Borgonzi was not a part of the front office that traded for Ridley. That could lead Tennessee to search for another veteran upgrade as it looks to support Ward during his rookie season. Jennings played five college seasons with the Tennessee Volunteers and attended high school in Murfreesboro, which is roughly 35 miles from where the Titans play. Sean Payton is always searching for ways to add wrinkles to his offense. Jennings can help create mismatches across the field by lining up in various formations alongside tight endEvan Engramand top wideoutCourtland Sutton. Like Ridley in Tennessee, Sutton dominated the team's air yard share at 49%. Denver could use another trustworthy pass catcher. The Broncos also have one of the league's best gadget players inMarvin Mims Jr.but the receiver room is thin behind him. Denver is looking to make the next step and contend in the AFC playoff picture in 2025 withBo Nix. The addition of Jennings would provide the team with another veteran with playoff experience. COWBOYS:QB Dak Prescott says he's fully recovered from hamstring surgery TheBrowns' offense has question marks all over it. There's a four-man quarterback competition heading into training camp betweenJoe Flacco,Kenny Pickett,Dillon GabrielandShedeur Sanders. Cleveland's second-round pick, running backQuinshon Judkinswasarrested on July 12. The receiver room consists ofJerry Jeudy,Cedric Tillmanand much-malignedDiontae Johnson. The lack of depth at receiver is concerning. Tillman flashed in four healthy games after Amari Cooper was traded but he missed the final six games of the season due to a concussion. Meanwhile, Johnson signed as a free agent after he bounced around between three teams in 2024. Whoever ends up under center could benefit from the services of Jennings in what appears to be an offense in need of playmakers.

Four monthsafter a blood clot ended his season early, Victor Wembanyama has been medically cleared to play basketball, per French outletL'Équipe. The San Antonio Spurs star was shut down in February after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. Wembanyama, who has not participated in basketball activities since the diagnosis, was seen on the sideline at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas on Friday. While he was there, the French center told L'Équipe's Maxime Aubin that he had been cleared by the Spurs earlier that day. "I'm officially cleared to return. It just happened — I got the green light from the Spurs' medical staff just a few hours ago (last Friday). Phew, I'll finally be able to play a bit of basketball again!" Wembanyama said, via Aubin. 🚨BREAKING VIA@lequipe.Victor Wembanyama has announced he's officially recovered from the blood clot in his shoulder :"I'm officially cleared to return. It just happened — I got the green light from the Spurs' medical staff just a few hours ago (last Friday). Phew, I'll… — Maxime Aubin (@MaximeAubin1)July 14, 2025 Wembanyama was diagnosed with the clot after appearing in his first NBA All-Star Game. After returning to San Antonio, the young center told medical staff that his arm didn't feel right and the clot was discovered after additional testing. The Spurs have consistently said that the 21-year-old starwould recover in time for next season, but could not estimate exactly when he would be cleared. The primary treatment for deep vein thrombosis is blood-thinning medication, making it difficult to determine an exact timeline for return. In April, Wembanyamatold reporters that he was "feeling good" in his recovery. "We're taking our time," Wembanyama said. "I'm neither late or early, but it's a process." Wembanyama isone of several NBA playerswho have been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis over the years, though his young age and the location of his clot raised extra concern over the issue. This season, Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard wasdiagnosed with the same type of clotin his leg one month after Wembanyama, but returned to the court during the playoffs. (Helater suffered a season-ending Achilles injury, just three games into his return.)

Andy Samberg Recalls 'Kismet' Feeling with Andre Braugher on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", Says He Misses Him 'a Lot'

Amanda Edwards/WireImage Andy Samberg is speaking out about his lateBrooklyn Nine-Ninecostar Andre Braugher and how much he misses him a year and a half after the actor's death Braugher died at age 61 in December 2023 following an illness, his rep confirmed to PEOPLE at the time Three months later, theBrooklyn Nine-Ninecast gathered to honor and remember him Andy Sambergis remembering his lateBrooklyn Nine-NinecostarAndre Braugher. A year and a half afterBraugher died at age 61in December 2023 after an illness, Samberg, 46, reflected on the actor's prowess and their time together on the sitcom during the July 8 episode ofAmy Poehler's podcastGood Hang. Samberg played Detective Jake Peralta on the series, which was created byParks & Rec's Mike Schur, alongside Braugher's Capt. Raymond Holt for eight years on the beloved Fox police procedural. Poehler sensitively broached the topic of Samberg's late costar during his appearance on her podcast, as she praised Braugher as "so good in the show" and "so poised." "He seemed like he was just playful and fun," Poheler said of Braugher. Jordin Althaus/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty "He was," Samberg agreed. "And just a good person. Like, so deeply moral and kind and pleasant and smart." "We all absolutely loved him. I miss him a lot," he added. "Our dynamic worked immediately. It was like one of those things where you're just like, 'Okay, this is kismet.' I don't know how to explain it," Samberg recalled. At their first table read forBrooklyn Nine-Nine, which premiered in 2013, he said that things clicked for him and Braugher "as soon as we started reading" the pilot script. "From that moment forward, the only thing me and him had to even talk about creatively was in the beginning, he didn't trust himself to do comedy," Samberg continued. Braugher's self-doubt when it came to comedy was rooted in his acting background. "He came so strictly from drama and Juilliard," Samberg explained. NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty When the rare serious scene came up onBrooklyn Nine-Nine, "He would flip that switch and everyone would be like, 'Oh my God, what is Andre doing here? He's so good. Like he should be in, like, drama, he's the best.'" "Then he would do his Captain Holt stuff and it was the funniest thing in the show," Samberg added. In March 2024,Terry Crews,Melissa Fumero,Chelsea Peretti, Joe Lo Truglio,Stephanie Beatriz, Joel McKinnon Miller,Dirk Blockeand Samberg allgathered for a reunion in Braugher's memory. In a jointpostshared on Instagram by Crews and Fumero, they wrote of the special night together, "We laughed. We cried a little. We reminisced. We laughed some more. Nine Nine Forever." Beatriz, 44, later told PEOPLE that the cast dinner was "a chance for all of us to get together and make each other laugh." "And it was also a chance to talk about Andre. It came up immediately, and then we put it away for a while," she said. "But at the end of the dinner, by the end, we were all just sharing stories about him and our memories of him. And he lives in our hearts forever and ever."

The band released five albums between 1969 and 1974, becoming the very first band to have music released by Charisma Records when their self-titled debut LP was released in December 1969. Their 1970 single "Sympathy" was a hit in the U.K, making it to No. 27 on the U.K. music chart and No 1. in Italy and France, and selling more than 1 million copies worldwide. Kaff was perhaps best known for his role inThis Is Spinal Tap, the 1984 mockumentary film co-written and directed byRob Reinerin his feature directorial debut; it also starredChristopher Guest,Harry Shearer, andMichael McKean.

In addition to appearing in the movie, Kaff joined the fictional band when they played several real gigs to promote it, including aSaturday Night Liveperformance. Kaff's role in the film was small, but the keyboardist made his mark with his jokes about the "magic" of video games and said he was capable of playing Nigel's bassline in "Big Bottom" because "I have two hands." Perhaps his most famous line comes in the film's credits, when he's asked for his life motto and says, "Have a good time… all the time." Within theSpinal Tapmythos, Viv is supposed to have died when visiting the grave of drummer Mick Shrimpton, who previously exploded on stage, after a buildup of methane gas caused the grave to also explode. "I played him very close to my heart," Kaff toldBAMin 1991, "just a little bit dimmer. If people like that character, chances are they'll like me." A sequel to the film is slated for release Sept. 12, with Reiner, Guest, Shearer, and McKean all returning. Want more movie news?
