Kate Middleton Broke Late Queen’s Long-Standing Royal Rule, Claims Source

Kate Middleton reportedly broke a royal rule that the late Queen Elizabeth followed by keeping her favorite foods private. The Princess of Wales has spoken openly about cooking, family meals, and her children’s tastes at public events. A new report claimed the late monarch avoided such details to stop hosts from repeating dishes endlessly. The claim centered on a quiet etiquette split between Catherine’s public family style and the former Queen’s tightly guarded routine.

Kate Middleton broke Queen Elizabeth’s royal rule by publicly discussing her favorite foods, per source

As per a RadarOnline report, Catherine repeatedly discussed food in public. The outlet claimed Queen Elizabeth guarded her tastes during her 70-year reign. One source said the Queen was “extremely careful” about personal preferences, especially food. The insider claimed palace staff joked that a casual mention of one dish could follow her for years. According to the source, hosts might feel “obligated to serve it to her.” The report framed that habit as a practical royal rule.

The source added that Queen Elizabeth understood how food comments could “snowball around the monarchy.” A former royal household source also said Elizabeth viewed menus as sensitive royal diplomacy. The insider said hosts would treat any favorite as “the safest possible way to impress her.” However, the report claimed Catherine represented a more “modern and informal approach” to royal life. That shift appeared most clearly in conversations about parenting, cooking, and her children’s meals.

RadarOnline cited Catherine’s 2018 visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital as one example. She met four-year-old heart transplant patient Rafael Chana from East Preston. When Rafael said he liked olives, Kate Middleton replied, “I used to eat lots and lots of olives.” After he mentioned pasta, the royal said, “Charlotte likes pasta too.” Meanwhile, during a visit to Scotland with Prince William, Catherine confirmed her love of curry. Asked if she cooked it herself, she said, “Yes, I love it.” William added, “She likes a bit of spice.” That moment again showed how Catherine handled the royal rule differently.

Bill Maher Can’t Stop Praising Donald Trump’s ‘Honesty’

Bill Maher praised Donald Trump’s “honesty” during a recent episode of his podcast. The comedian and political commentator cited instances in the past when Trump scolded journalists in the past for asking questions that he considered disrespectful.

Bill Maher talks about Donald Trump’s honesty

In the Monday episode of his Club Random Podcast, Bill Maher praised Donald Trump’s “honesty” while responding to reporters. Speaking with his guest, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman. The TV host and political commentator gave his thoughts on Trump’s past responses to journalists whom he deemed disrespectful.

“There is something not exactly psychologically normal about someone who just vomits their interior monologue, but it gives him an authenticity with people that no one else can possibly match,” Maher said. He added, “The honesty—as someone who loves honesty and has made my career about it as much as I could—there’s some level of it where you tip your hat and go ‘Wow, total honesty.’”

Trump has chastised journalists on multiple instances in the past. Most recently, a 60 Minutes correspondent, Norah O’Donnell, asked the president about his thoughts on the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner gunman, Cole Tomas Allen’s manifesto, where he called Trump a “pedophile, rapist, and traitor.”

Trump denied the allegations and stated, “I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people.” He further chastised O’Donnell and called her “a disgrace.” Referring to that incident, Maher said, “His reaction immediately was to her, ‘You’re a terrible person.’ And he didn’t just think it.”

He continued, “Like any politician, that’s exactly what they’re thinking. He just says it like that’s what’s in his head,” adding, “It’s at the same time horrifying, and also it’s kind of refreshing.” Fetterman agreed with Maher and noted Trump’s “authenticity,” citing another incident when the president told a Bloomberg reporter, “Quiet, piggy,” after she asked him about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

What Has Barbie Pascual Been Doing Since Below Deck Season 11 and Joining Below Deck Down Under Season 4?

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

Barbie Pascual got off to a strong start on Below Deck Season 11. But little by little, this season did her in. Now, Barbie is back for a brief stint on Below Deck Down Under Season 4, where, unlike her first season, she actually has a strong friendship with someone onboard.

As Elena “Ellie” Dubaich explained, Barbie is her “good friend.” Also, Ellie noted, Barbie was “going to have [her] back,” because she was “a ride or die” for Ellie.  However, as soon as Barbie came aboard, she made it clear that she hoped to get along with her superior, so she might not be as confrontational as Ellie had hoped. But Barbie is already side-eyeing at least one of Ellie’s BDDU Season 4 foes, so maybe Ellie was right after all.

That said, we don’t know this version of Barbie just yet. In fact, Barbie has made several changes in her life since her first season. So, anything can still happen here.

Barbie Pascual and Fraser Olender fought during Below Deck Season 11

Barbie formerly worked under Fraser Olender. At the start of Season 11, Fraser came in strong, noting his desire to be a firmer leader. But Barbie lacked respect for his position, he felt. Meanwhile, Barbie did not feel seen or valued by Fraser.

By the end of Season 11, the divide between Fraser and Barbie was massive. Her feelings were all over the place. “All I’ve done this whole season is put my ego aside and work on myself,” she stressed. Even still, she added, “Nobody here cares about me.”

As a result, Barbie chose to exit filming one day early, saying, “I’m gonna go straight to a five-star resort.” Now, on BDDU, Barbie is working under Daisy Kelliher. Both Daisy and Barbie have made it clear that they want a peaceful union. Even still, Daisy did fire off a short text to Fraser, asking him for a little bit of background information on her new stew.

Barbie is not his “favorite employee. She’s stubborn. Good worker, though,” Fraser texted back. Luckily for Daisy, Barbie is a hard worker, from her tablescapes to her work in the interior, Daisy will finally have a fully capable team, workwise, that is.

Relationship speaking, however, Barbie is already weary of Jenna Woudberg. “Barbie is a beautiful girl,” Jenna admitted in her confessional as soon as Barbie walked on the yacht. “Massive resting b*tch face. Girl HATES me,” Barbie laughed in hers.

Later, Barbie asked Jenna about the boatmances onboard. So, Jenna filled her in about the various men that she had already formed a connection with. After their conversation, Barbie took to her interview, suggesting that “Jenna definitely loves herself,” and she is “Not a fan.”

Neither is her “good friend,” Ellie. In their cabin later that night, Barbie told Ellie about her talk with Jenna. Annoyed, Ellie said, “She’s out of her f*cking mind.” Joking, possibly, Barbie said, “Maybe, I’ll just flirt with Eddy [Hounsell] and piss [Jenna] off.”

When the crew went out on the town several scenes later, Barbie did talk to Eddy, but she also spoke with Ben Robinson, Jenna’s other crush. It was all pretty innocent and lowkey, yet Jenna still hated watching every second of it. With only one episode left in BDDU Season 4, will Jenna and Barbie choose peace, or will they opt for pettiness instead?

Barbie converted to Judaism after her OG season

Regarding our last question, we are hopeful that Barbie, at least, will choose a peaceful path. During Season 11, Barbie expressed a deep emotional connection to Judaism. “My soul is Jewish,” she said. She also expressed her desire to convert, just “not yet, but I’m gonna be one day, God willing.”

In this same season, Barbie shared that she felt a strong, emotional connection to Judaism after visiting the Kotel (Western Wall) in Israel. At the start of this year, Barbie posted an image of this very same trip, writing, “In 2020, I was at the Wall thinking I was ‘starting something.’ I had no idea how much work, growth, and transformation Judaism would bring or where I’d be now.”

Barbie has been sharing her “#convertingtojudaism” journey on Instagram ever since she departed from the original Below Deck series. As a part of her conversion, Barbie practices the concept of Tzniut.

The My Jewish Learning website defines Tzniut as “discreet habits, quiet speech, and affections privately expressed, and infers the avoidance of grossness, boisterous laughter, raucous behavior, even ‘loud’ ornaments.” By these accounts, Barbie is not likely to ruffle too many feathers during her brief stint on BDDU Season 4.

Below Deck Down Under airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. Below Deck and BDDU are streaming on Peacock.

Meghan Markle’s Intent Questioned After ‘Tone-Deaf’ Move — Source

Meghan Markle’s alleged plan to renew their vows with Prince Harry reportedly drew new backlash before their eighth anniversary. The Duchess of Sussex was said to be considering a reality-style project around the personal milestone. The idea emerged as the couple continued to build media ventures in California after stepping away from their royal duties in 2020. Critics reportedly viewed the concept as “tone-deaf,” especially when a private marital moment was polished into content.

Meghan Markle slammed by critics over turning vow renewal into content, per source

According to a RadarOnline report, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly discussed a vow-renewal project. The couple married on May 19, 2018, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. However, one insider said the idea risked “blurring the line between authenticity and performance.” The source added that a vow renewal was usually intimate. Yet, making it a project centerpiece felt like “a calculated production.”

The report also claimed critics were questioning the commercial angle behind the alleged plan. Another source said the format had struck some as “overly commercial and lacking in sensitivity.” Meanwhile, an insider claimed Markle saw “enormous narrative potential” in the moment. The source said it was not only about renewing vows. Instead, it could help shape her story and show “resilience and unity.” That framing kept Prince Harry close to the brand discussion.

The outlet also tied the idea to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s 2023 vow renewal. Kris Jenner officiated that ceremony, while Brandi Carlile performed. At the time, DeGeneres told de Rossi, “I love you, I adore you.” She added, “You save me every day.”

Separately, Meghan Markle recently joked about a vow renewal during her Australia visit. After receiving an “Aussie Bum” swimsuit, she said it was for “the love of my life.” She then joked that Prince Harry “might renew our vows” wearing it. For now, one TV figure said the issue was intention, not celebration. They said turning something symbolic into content raised questions about the relationship and the brand.

Real Housewives of Rhode Island Episode 7 Recap: A Found Footage Horror Movie

RHORI
Photo Credit: Brian Fluharty/Getty Images

Previously on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, the cast took their first trip to a Newport mansion after Kelsey broke up with her boyfriend. At a revealing dinner, Liz snapped at Alicia for saying she was homeless after her father left and she had to stay with relatives. Kelsey and Rosie continued to butt heads after Kelsey gave her a backhanded compliment. Kelsey claimed it’s because Rosie is fake. But Rosie thinks it’s actually because she has a house, a husband, and a career, all things Kelsey doesn’t have.

What happened of Real Housewives of Rhode Island Episode 7?

This week on Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1 Episode 7, “Boats, Lies, and Videotape,” Kelsey and Rosie try to be cordial as the Newport trip continues. Jo-Ellen and Alicia have a very intense heart-to-heart. We find out about more shocking hookups from Jo-Ellen’s past. Rulla claims she missed the trip because she’s ill. But she’s gonna be really sick when she learns about a video Jo-Ellen was sent of Brian.

Kelsey and Rosie can’t get on the same page

The episode starts with Alicia talking to her dolls (of course) while Kelsey and Rosie reflect on their fight. Rosie’s husband Rich has the same theory as her – that Kelsey is projecting because she doesn’t have property, a spouse, or a career. After the fight, Rosie spent all night throwing up. She also heard mysterious giggling – Alicia asks if it could be the dolls.

At breakfast, Kelsey maintains that she was being nice to Rosie, but Rosie continues to call out the backhanded compliment. The conversation goes nowhere. Alicia annoys Liz by interrupting her to ask if Rosie’s facade is an alter ego like Beyonce’s Sasha Fierce. Watch out for this brewing feud, because as funny as Alicia is (she calls epsom salts “Epstein salts”), Liz is reaching a limit. Also, Ashley starts crying while defending Rosie.

Kelsey and Rosie don’t get anywhere until they two talk one-one-one later. Then, they’re able to admit they both come across standoffish. Kelsey insists she does want to be friends with Rosie, and they agree to move forward.

Alicia texts Rulla, who claims she skipped the trip because she was too sick. She spends the day in bed and says she went to the hospital, but the tests found nothing wrong. Jo-Ellen points out this is the second time Rulla skipped a group event because she went to the hospital.

While the others go on a giant inflatable water slide, Jo-Ellen and Alicia decide to take a walk. On the car ride there, Jamie the chauffeur reveals he lived in the mansion during college, and there are definitely ghosts. This leads production to realize Alicia can’t pronounce the plural ghosts, just ghost.

While Alicia remembered Jo-Ellen being sent away when they were in school (and reveals Jen was sent first!) she doesn’t know the details. Jo-Ellen reveals she was sent three different times, starting in seventh grade. The first was a drug rehab, and she was sent home because she never used drugs. Her mom claimed she was promiscuous, but Jo-Ellen insists she wasn’t doing anything. The third place was the worst, and she was there for over a year. Her mom pulled her out when the state was going to take full custody. The experience was so scarring, it left Jo-Ellen suicidal.

Alicia wonders how Jo-Ellen’s mom could do that … just like she wonders how her father could abandon her. She breaks down and admits that it’s why she doesn’t want to get married. Who would walk her down the aisle? With the men in her life, Alicia always wanted to be the one who left first.

While they’ve known each other forever, Jo-Ellen and Alicia feel much closer after this. However, somehow, Alicia didn’t bring any crackers to make her feel better!

Ashley and Liz have a moment

Rosie, Ashley, and Kelsey have a ton of fun on the giant inflatable slide. They flirt with the butlers, especially 23-year-old Boris, who eventually take off their shirts and join the fun. Kelsey says Boris is too young for her, while Rosie cracks that he’s not rich enough. Ashley thinks Jared is hotter than any young butler.

Meanwhile, Liz gets annoyed with the antics, and has no interest in flirting with a twentysomething, so she heads back inside. She admits it can get tiring being friends with girls young enough to be her kids. Ashley goes in to check on her, and Liz says she’s a good friend for doing so. Ashley finally sees the soft side of Liz behind her tough exterior, calling her “Lamby Liz.” However, we know this friendship doesn’t stick.

Jo-Ellen did what on a boat? And with whom?

RHORI Season 1

Liz plans an activity more her speed, a sunset cruise, to end the trip. The captain is hot and single, so Jo-Ellen jokes she should set him up with Jen. She’s always looking out for a man for her sister … partially because Jen still says she needs to find “her Gary” since he set the bar too high! “It was 30 years ago, get over it,” Jo-Ellen says in a flashback.

Unfortunately, Ashley leaves early because her son ends up in the hospital. Liz can relate, she’s crossed state lines to get to her girls (and her cat).

On the boat, we learn a few more things Alicia loves: a pink hat, a tequila, and a pita chip.

We also learn that Jo-Ellen hooked up with Kelsey’s ex! Kelsey claims it was on the boat, along with another woman, and Jo-Ellen was so loud they could hear her above deck! Jo-Ellen insists it was on land. Also, she dated the ex’s brother, but implies Kelsey’s ex was better in bed!

Kelsey continues to vow to move on with Rosie. Jo-Ellen jokes she’ll have to hold her tongue even if Rosie starts claiming the house is millions of square feet. But Rosie warns she’s a Taurus, and they forgive but don’t forget. We’ll see if she can forgive or forget Alicia mistakenly calling her “Lindsay!”

Jo-Ellen gets the proof for Rulla

RHORI Season 1
Photo Credit: Noam Galai/Bravo

Remember at the polo match when Jo-Ellen promised she’d get proof of Brian’s affair for Rulla? Well, when they get back to the mansion, Jo shows Liz a video she received from a mutual friend with the mistress. Both are horrified by the footage.

When they rejoin the group, Jo-Ellen and Liz can’t hide their horrified expressions. Liz tells Jo to “release the hounds” and show the others the video.

While we don’t see this footage, the ladies describe it for us. Filmed through a car window, the video shows Brian hugging the mistress for a long time, like “a five minute hug.” He also grabs her ass and kisses her. Also, the video was taken two days before the polo match. And it shows Brian in his red interior car … the same one the mistress posted photos of.

Jo-Ellen says this is the hard proof Rulla asked for, and Liz says she can’t deny the video. Kelsey predicts Rulla will write it off as Brian ending things. But Liz insists they have to show it to her. Jo-Ellen doesn’t want to be more involved than she already is, and Liz knows if she does it, it’ll be another But he is Ma” moment. They look at Alicia, who is closest to Rulla. Alicia (and the others) call “not it,” but next week Alicia and Billy will have dinner with Rulla and Brian … so the saga continues.

Real Housewives of Rhode Island airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

Taylor Swift’s Plunging Zimmermann Corset Dress Hangs by Just 2 Strings

Taylor Swift is currently living her best “London Boy” life, and her latest look is the definition of high-fashion romance. Stepping out in May 2026 for an outing at London’s famous Indian restaurant Gymkhana, the pop superstar showed off a sultrier side of her style. Joined by her fiancé, Travis Kelce, Taylor turned the sidewalk into a runway, proving that even a quiet meal deserves a major fashion moment.

Taylor Swift opts for plunging Zimmermann corset dress hanging by strings for Travis Kelce date

Swift and Kelce were spotted leaving the two-Michelin-star restaurant Gymkhana alongside British cinematographer Rina Yang. While the couple looked perfectly coordinated in dark blazers, it was what Taylor wore underneath that caught everyone’s eye. The singer chose the Luna Corset Midi Dress by Zimmermann, a stunning $1,950 piece from the brand’s “Kindred Spirit” collection.

The dress features a dramatic plunging sweetheart neckline and a structured, fitted corset bodice. What makes the look truly risky are the delicate, adjustable spaghetti straps that look like they are hanging by just two thin strings. The gown is made from a luxurious silk-linen organza fabric and features a beautiful black rose floral print. The full, flared skirt added a touch of classic elegance to the otherwise daring silhouette.

To stay warm in the London breeze, Swift layered an oversized dark navy blazer over her shoulders. She carried a unique mint green JW Anderson Loafer Bag, which provided a fresh pop of color against the moody floral tones of her dress. For her feet, she kept things sophisticated with a pair of sleek black pumps.

Her beauty look was quintessential Swift. She wore her hair down with her signature blunt bangs and a soft wave. Her makeup featured a classic winged liner and a moody berry lip that perfectly matched the black rose aesthetic. Beside her, Kelce looked sharp in a charcoal plaid suit and a black T-shirt. The pair appeared relaxed and happy, holding hands as they navigated the London crowds.

Ella Emhoff’s Fully See-Through Collina Strada Top Is a Mix of Textures

For her recent outing, Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, wore a see-through Collina Strada top featuring a striking mix of textures. The designer took to Instagram on May 5 to share a carousel of photos, featuring her in the all-black ensemble. In some photos, she also posed with her friend, Tommy Dorfman.

Ella Emhoff poses in a fully see-through Collina Strada top with a mix of textures

Ella Emhoff was wearing the Collina Strada Black Wavy Dandelion top, worth $340. The sheer long-sleeved floral top featured two thick, vertical bands of gathered fabric that ran from the shoulders down the torso. The opaque panels gave the top structural definition and a modest contrast to the otherwise translucent material. At the waist, the outfit transitioned into a complex, sculptural element.

A wide, draped satin sash in a high-sheen finish created significant volume around the hips. This piece was intricately gathered into rose-like ruffles on either side, adding a romantic yet dark Victorian-inspired edge. A long, flowing fabric panel extended from the waist piece, trailing down the side and adding movement to the overall look. A layer of fringed black lace peeked through, bridging the gap between the structured waist and the sleek trousers.

For the lower half, Emhoff opted for wide-leg trousers with a sharp central crease, which elongated her frame. The clean lines of the trousers balanced the drama of the upper half of her look. She slipped into pointed-toe black leather shoes, maintaining the monochromatic color palette.

Further, she accessorized with large hoop earrings and a dainty pendant necklace. In another picture, she was also wearing narrow sunglasses and carrying a small black bag. Her hair was styled in a sleek, middle-parted bun, which kept the neckline clean. The caption of her Instagram post read, “[Collina Strada] girls 5 ever 🙂 [Tommy Dorfman] never leave New York, I wanna look cute with you all the time :)”

Olivia Rodrigo’s Plunging Vivienne Westwood Micro Minidress Is So See-Through

Olivia Rodrigo knows how to keep the party going with a major style statement. After the main event, the pop sensation stepped out for the Met Gala after-party in a look that was both vintage and incredibly daring. Dressed in a rare archival Vivienne Westwood piece, Rodrigo proved that she is a true fan of fashion history. Her after-party look was playful and edgy, perfectly capturing her cool-girl aesthetic.

Olivia Rodrigo stuns in plunging see-through Vivienne Westwood micro minidress for Met Gala after-party

Olivia Rodrigo wore a vintage Vivienne Westwood micro minidress from the Fall/Winter 1994 collection. The dress featured a deep, plunging square neckline that highlighted its corset-like structure. Made from a delicate blue knit with a wavy, crochet-style pattern, the fabric was almost entirely see-through. This “naked” dress effect was balanced by a short, ruffled hemline that gave the outfit a youthful and fun energy.

The details on the dress were truly unique. It included three-dimensional floral accents in shades of pink, green, and purple pinned to the shoulder. The sleeves were perhaps the most striking part of the look. They were elbow-length and ended in dramatic, thick gold fringe that swayed as she moved. This gold trim also ran along the very bottom of the skirt, adding a touch of luxury to the knit material.

Rodrigo kept her look effortless, matching the late-night vibe. She wore her long, dark hair down in soft, natural waves. Her makeup was simple, featuring a subtle winged eyeliner and a soft berry-colored lip. By keeping her glam understated, she let the intricate details of the vintage Westwood piece take center stage.

Overall, Rodrigo’s look was a masterclass in after-party dressing. She looked confident and radiant as she exited her car, ready to dance the night away. By choosing such a specific piece of fashion history, she showed that she isn’t afraid to take risks.
