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

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. (The palace has consistently maintained that King Charles does not have control over that process.)

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

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 WR

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.
