Charles’ Brutal Rejection Shows Harry ‘Not Welcome’ in U.K., Sources Say

Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Reuters

A week some had hoped would be an occasion for reconciliation ended up blowing Britain’s royal feud wide open, again, in dramatic and very public style.

King Charles’ refusal to meet with Prince Harry, send a minor royal to attend his Invictus event at St Paul’s Cathedral in London this week, or even issue a social media post in support of it is “a clear message that Harry is not welcome to conduct official, quasi-royal events in the U.K. that distract from the monarchy’s message and agenda,” a royal source has told The Daily Beast.

Harry cut an isolated figure this week as he arrived alone at a special church service giving thanks for the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style event for wounded servicemen he established when still a working royal. No member of the royal family attended the service and, to rub salt in the wound, all working royals except Prince William and Kate Middleton gathered to support the king at a garden party at Buckingham Palace taking place at the same time.

Charlamagne Tha God Finally Condemns Diddy After Defending His Legacy
Rick Kern/Getty Images for iHeartRadioOn Sunday, Sean “Diddy” Combs posted a video apology that followed CNN’s bombshell release of 2016 hotel surveillance footage in which the rapper and mogul could be seen throwing his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, to the ground and kicking her. Combs said he was “disgusted” by his behavior, for which he “sought out professional help.” And yet even The Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne Tha God—who has in the past expressed displeasure over Diddy’s legacy being ruined—was, in this instance, unmoved. “Can’t believe anything that comes out of Diddy’s mouth,” Charlamagne began, after his co-host played a clip of Diddy’s apology. “He’s not sorry, he’s sorry he got caught. He’s sorry that the video leaked, OK? If that video hadn’t come out, he’d still be lying right now.” On Monday, Charlamagne also crowned Diddy the “donkey of the day.”In the past, Charlamagne has sung a slightly different tune. Just last month, in response to the news that Diddy’s homes were being raided, the host said on another podcast, “I don’t know, man, I just don’t like it. I don’t like it because it’s sad. How many peoples’ legacies have we watched burn to the ground? From Russell Simmons, Diddy… These guys fucking provided the soundtrack to our lives. They contributed to the culture in real ways before we knew any of this shit. You have feelings, you have mixed emotions.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Opinion: Trumpy GOP Leaders’ Big Week of Indefensible Hypocrisy
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/GettyA famous 1980s anti-drug PSA features a son being confronted by his dad, who asks him: “Who taught you how to do this stuff?” The kid replies, “You, alright. I learned it by watching you!”Today’s right-wing leaders could be forgiven for having a similar answer for their toxic comportment. The only difference is that in this analogy, Donald Trump, their “daddy,” is proud of the behavior. Trumpism continues to trickle, and this past week shows examples of it having trickled down to members of the right in the U.S. Congress, state governments, and even the U.S. Supreme Court (or their spouses, at the very least).Let’s start small, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments at a committee meeting last Thursday night. “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you are reading” Greene said to Rep. Jasmine Crockett.Read more at The Daily Beast.

How screens actually affect your sleep
It’s about more than just the blue light. We’ve all heard that using our phones before bed is bad for us, but do we actually know why? One of the most commonly cited reasons is that our phone’s blue light is disrupting our ability to fall asleep — but study after study has shown that just changing the color of light, or turning on night mode or night shift, isn’t enough to counteract the effects of our screens. The truth is that color temperature is just one aspect of how our phone light is stimulating our brains. Sleep science suggests that the key to getting good rest is much more complex. So if using night mode on our phones is not the only solution, and we know we’re likely going to keep scrolling before bed, is there a better way to use our phone at night, without disrupting our sleep?

RFK Jr. Suffers Gaffe of His Own as He Names Wrong Iranian Leader
Helen H. Richardson/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via GettyRobert F. Kennedy Jr., whose pitch to voters has centered around his relative youth and mental sharpness, made a gaffe of his own Sunday when he suggested that whoever wins the White House in November should be sitting down with a laundry list of authoritarian leaders from around the world—including former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has not held office in more than 10 years.“We need to be sitting down with other world leaders, with people like President Xi and President Putin and President Ahmadinejad, the prime minister, all the people—we can’t afford to be at war anymore,” Kennedy said during a speech focusing on artificial intelligence technology.The timing of RFK Jr.’s gaffe was also unfortunate—coming just hours after news that the current president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, was involved in a helicopter crash near the country’s border with Azerbaijan. It was later reported that Raisi died in the incident.Read more at The Daily Beast.
