As we discussed, the Prince and Princess of Wales traveled to Wales on Wednesday for some pre-St. David?s Day events. This day-trip served multiple purposes ? a pre-celebration for St. David?s Day, a visit to an area which was ravaged by floods in December, a necessary ?look at us while we?re hard at work? moment following their Mustique vacation, and most importantly, the day?s events were organized around ?competing? with the Duchess of Sussex. With Love, Meghan comes out next week, and it will feature Meghan cooking, baking, entertaining, gardening, and jam-making. William and Kate made a special visit to a Welsh cake shop and ?tried their hand? at playing with dough and making baked goods. Hilariously, that was not the only pointed Meghan-specific subtweet of the trip. Kate and William also had to talk about JAM.
The Princess of Wales has promised to send her recipe for plum jam to young gardeners. The Princess heard how young volunteers at a community garden in Wales were growing plums and turning them into jam, and promised them: ?I?ll send you my recipe so you can try it.?
In 2012, it was reported that the then-Duchess of Cambridge had given out strawberry jam and plum preserve as Christmas presents.
The Duchess of Sussex, her sister-in-law, is currently producing her own range of jam to sell, relaunching her brand under the name ?As Ever? last week. In an Instagram video, the Duchess said: ?Of course there will be fruit preserves, I think we?re all clear at this point that jam is my jam.?
The Princess, who cooks her version at home with no known plans to market it to the public, revealed that she is also learning to forage in Norfolk, with her three children impressed by a ?huge? puffball mushroom she had found near their home. ?The children thought it was fascinating,? she said.
The Prince and Princess of Wales made a joint visit to the Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland, near Pontypridd in South Wales, where they were given a tour of the woodland walks and home-grown produce. Introduced to a group of young volunteers, the Princess asked: ?What sort of things to do you get involved in??
One young woman told her they were growing plums, pointing the tree out, with the Princess exclaiming: ?I just saw it,? prompting the Prince to add that his wife?s jam was ?amazing?.
?Prompting the Prince to add that his wife?s jam was ?amazing?? ? you guys. LMAO. They are so ridiculous!! What?s even funnier is that they seem to think they?re being sly, or that they totally look normal doing this kind of thing? Instead, they both look crazy as hell and like they?re jointly obsessed with every single thing Meghan does or says. This jam mess reminds me so much of when Kate ran around, hugging everyone she saw in 2022 and early 2023, immediately after Meghan said (in the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan) that she?s a ?hugger? and that British people hated when she hugged them.
Donald Trump and President Elon Musk had their first Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. It did not go well, and for an optics-obsessed man like Trump, it?s pretty crazy that he doesn?t understand how Musk is making him look weakened, wizened, old and like a powerless figurehead. Trump was slumped over the table, looking and sounding defeated and exhausted. Meanwhile, Elon Musk was standing in the meeting, roaming around, talking over Trump and addressing the press:
Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They’re not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)
? Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) February 26, 2025 at 12:01 PM
That was bad enough, but during the brief time that President Musk allowed Trump to speak, Trump insulted Americans and said ridiculous sh-t about Joe Biden.
President Donald Trump ended his first Cabinet meeting on Wednesday by fat shaming all of America.
?This country has gotten bloated, fat, disgusting, and incompetently run,? the 78-year-old McDonald?s lover said, before blaming much of America?s problems to former President Joe Biden.
Trump, whose slogan is the Ronald Reagan inspired ?Make America Great Again,? attributed his presidential woes to the poor health of Americans ? accusing Biden as the country?s enabler.
?I think we had the worst president in the history of our country. He just left office,? the sitting president complained.
Trump?s own weight has been subject to much debate in the past. When booked into an Atlanta jail on charges relating to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election in 2023, 6-foot-3 Trump listed his weight at 215 pounds?30 pounds lighter than his last disclosed weight from the time of his last official White House physical. The average American man, who Trump accused of being disgustingly fat, weighs 199.8 pounds according to the CDC. American women average about 170.8 pounds.
The president ? who is known to enjoy frequent fast-food burgers and recently installed a Diet Coke button in the Oval office ? started his temper tantrum because of a question from an unidentified reporter.
?This country has gotten bloated, fat, disgusting, and incompetently run.? ?HAS GOTTEN???? As in, Trump is acknowledging his own incompetence in running the government? He?s acknowledging his own bloated, fat and disgusting American-ness?? Anyway, Robert Kennedy Jr. was in the cabinet meeting, probably sounding like a muffler with ten holes. Kennedy?s idea of how to get Americans healthy is ?telling people not to get vaccines.? Trump?s idea of how to get people healthy is killing off millions of seniors through extreme Medicare cuts.
Here are more photos of Prince William and Kate in Wales on Wednesday, their first joint event since Holocaust Remembrance Day a month ago. I have to admit, pre-announcing the visit actually worked ? W&K got a good turnout in the city/village of Pontypridd, especially for their somewhat informal ?walkabout.? They visited that particular town because Pontypridd was affected by severe flooding back in December, the result of Storm Bert and Storm Darragh. I understand why the royals don?t visit the site of a natural disaster immediately ? they might disrupt first responders and search & rescue efforts ? but it seems odd that it took them two-and-a-half months to visit. They are the Prince and Princess of WALES. They also ran into some current flooding in Wales as they tried to take the train ? their train was diverted mid-journey, which meant they were 90 minutes late getting to Pontypridd.
What else? Kate changed some of her outfit after the walkabout. She removed her red McQueen coat and revealed that she was wearing a Gucci tartan skirt. She also added a Ralph Lauren blazer which has been in her closet for nearly two decades. She wore that blazer several times when she was in the Waity holding pattern. In all of the conversations about Kate?s outfit, a few different outlets are making a big deal about ?should we even talk about what Kate is wearing??? That?s because of the ill-advised statement from her office in which they announced that they would no longer identify or discuss Kate?s clothing. Of course, that didn?t stop People Mag from noting that Kate still loves to flag-dress. I also wanted to ask you guys? what?s up with all of the turtlenecks on Kate in her recent appearances? She?s never worn t-necks this often. Note: Kate did not wear Big Blue. She wore her ?new eternity band? and we still don?t know the backstory on all of the ring drama in the past year.
What else? The ?baking cookies/shortbread? stunt was ill-advised. It was clearly set up as some kind of dig at the Duchess of Sussex?s Netflix show (out next week!), only William and Kate both looked like they had never seen a baking sheet or a cookie cutter before in their lives. The thing is, I actually believe that Kate cooks and bakes and knows what she?s doing in the kitchen. I just don?t think she enjoys it like Meghan does. Meghan is a ?food is love? person. Kate looked at the dough like it might bite her. I agree with everyone that Kate should have worn a hairnet (wignet) too ? at one point, she was running her fingers through her hair and then touching the cookies. Then they served the cookies to kids. Gross.
This week, British journalist/news anchor Trevor McDonald wrote a column about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ? I covered it a few days ago, you can see it here. McDonald admitted that he always thought the Sussexit would be temporary, and he?s sad that Harry and Meghan are never coming back to the UK to be working royals. He also wrote about how the Sussexes living and working in California is a huge loss for Britain and the Commonwealth, and a loss for the future of the monarchy. Additionally, this week, Princess Diana?s former lover James Hewitt said words about how Diana would want her sons to bury the hatchet and come together. Well, those two stories have made the Daily Mail?s Richard Eden lose his mind. His latest Mail column is: ?Call me paranoid, but I sense an Establishment conspiracy to bring Harry and Meghan back into the royal fold. This is why it can?t happen.? Some highlights:
Sir Trevor McDonald?s comments: McDonald, who was knighted in 1999, claimed that Meghan ?never stood a chance of being accepted? because ?she is a foreigner: an American, a divorcee, a former actress ? and black?. He said: ?Meghan could have brought a new dimension to the monarchy? She was never given a chance to prove herself. Sir Trevor?s comments were published a day before James Hewitt said his former lover, Princess Diana, ?would be concerned? about the ongoing rift between her sons, Princes William and Harry.
Eden?s paranoia: Call me paranoid, if you wish, but I do sense something of a conspiracy among certain parts of our Establishment to bring about a return of Harry and Meghan to the royal fold. There is no doubt that Harry is seeking a closer relationship with his family again. After King Charles?s cancer treatment was announced in February last year, his younger son let it be known via friends that he was willing to take on a temporary royal role in support of his father. His offer was never taken up, but the California-based Prince is understood to be keen to spend more time in his homeland.
The slimmed-down monarchy: The King?s long-stated desire for a ?slimmed-down? monarchy may have made some royalists, such as Sir Trevor McDonald, nervous about the Sussexes? absence. When Charles was promoting his vision of a smaller version of The Firm, he envisaged Harry and his future family being a key part of it. He and Camilla would be supported by both his sons and their families. It was a compelling idea to which some monarchists still cling. However, what it overlooks is Harry and Meghan?s past behaviour.
They did give Meghan a chance!! Much as I respect Sir Trevor, he is wrong to say Meghan was ?never given a chance to prove herself?. Queen Elizabeth and the rest of her family rolled out the red carpet for the American actress. Even though Meghan had been married before, the late Queen ensured her second wedding was a spectacular event at Windsor. And when Meghan?s father said he could not attend the wedding, Charles offered to walk her down the aisle as if she were his own daughter.
Meghan did not want to be successful! However, courtiers who were asked to work with Meghan say she sometimes gave the impression that she did not want to be a successful royal. They have told me she seemed to be looking for reasons to be resentful and encourage Harry to return with her to California, where she could make a stack of money. On Instagram, she recently stated that she had not been able to share her passion for food and home for ?years? after she shut her lifestyle blog The Tig, which provides further evidence that she was unhappy with the restrictions of royal life.
Delusional: The truth, Sir Trevor, is that Meghan had every chance to prove herself in the Royal Family but chose to reject the opportunity and instead seek her fortune back in America. There is no reason why those she and Harry have hurt and insulted, such as Prince William and Catherine, should be forced to welcome the Sussexes back.
How effortlessly Eden went from ?there?s an establishment conspiracy to bring the Sussexes back? to ?the Sussexes obviously want to come back, they?re desperate to come back to us!? The two things do not follow each other. I?m a broken record about this, but I?ll say it again: all of the plans made in 2020 were specifically based on the idea that they could force Prince Harry to come back, broke and divorced. That?s why the past five years have largely felt like a holding pattern ? the ?establishment,? the monarchy and the British media have all waged a campaign of destruction and abuse aimed at that one outcome, to get Harry back, hopefully alone. The idea that the ?establishment? is trying to finesse Harry and Meghan into coming back willingly, by choice, is antithetical to that goal of ?bringing Harry to heel.?
In a move totally on brand for today?s tech bros, AI companies have been training their technology using copyrighted materials. Until they get sued, that is. Still, it feels like one big game of whack-a-mole for artists to try and undo the infinite possibilities AI has to invoke their image and/or work without consent, especially with there being no aggressive action from our government to beef up regulation. Across the pond, the UK government flat-out announced late last year that they were going to consider sanctioning what tech companies in America have already been doing: using copyrighted work to build their programs unless and until the copyright owners object. Well, British musicians are not having it, and 1,000 of them just released an album in protest. But instead of songs, Is This What We Want? features 12 tracks of the sounds of empty recording studios and performance venues. Well-played, Brits.
With contributions from British artists including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Cat Stevens and Damon Albarn, the album was released Tuesday to protest proposed British changes to artificial intelligence laws that artists fear will erode their creative control.
The U.K. government is consulting on whether to let tech firms use copyrighted material to help train AI models unless the creators explicitly opt out.
Critics of the idea fear that will make it harder for artists to retain control of their work and will undermine Britain?s creative industries. Elton John and Paul McCartney are among those who have spoken out against the plan.
The protest album features ?almost silence,? said composer and AI developer Ed Newton-Rex, who organized the album. The 12 tracks consist of recordings of empty studios and performance spaces, ?to symbolize what we expect will happen if the government?s proposals go through.?
?It?s a mix of artists that everyone?s heard of and, you know, and many musicians who are not household names,? he told The Associated Press. ?And I think that?s really important because this issue is going to affect all of us.?
The titles of the 12 tracks spell out: ?The British government must not legalize music theft to benefit AI companies.?
Profits will be donated to the musicians? charity Help Musicians.
?The government?s proposal would hand the life?s work of the country?s musicians to AI companies, for free, letting those companies exploit musicians? work to outcompete them,? Newton-Rex said.
?It is a plan that would not only be disastrous for musicians, but that is totally unnecessary,? he said. ?The U.K. can be leaders in AI without throwing our world-leading creative industries under the bus.?
Britain?s center-left Labour Party government says it wants to make the U.K. a world leader in AI. In December, it announced a consultation into how copyright law can ?enable creators and right holders to exercise control over, and seek remuneration for, the use of their works for AI training? while also ensuring ?AI developers have easy access to a broad range of high-quality creative content.? The consultation closes on Tuesday.
That?s very considerate of the UK government to seek out the goldilocks approach that helps both AI and artists, and I wish them luck in their quest. Back in the real world, I think we know who tends to benefit as they consume everything faster than any meaningful repercussions can be implemented (AI), and who ends up having to fight like hell to protect their creativity and very humanity (artists). So I?m giving a standing O (is applause appropriate for a ?silent? album?) to the British musicians who banded together for this artful, wry protest. Rock on. All that being said, I?m still, you know, me, and have a few impertinent questions regarding execution. For instance, the artist for every track is listed as ?1,000 UK Artists.? Who/Why/How was the decision made to do the credits that way, instead of naming 83.33 artists (1,000 divided by 12) per track? I feel that the message on how many musicians are being affected might be more apparent, visually, if they took the space to write each name. Next (yet similarly), the tracks are all different lengths. Again, how was this determined?! Did the rooms communicate when the ?song? was finished? If a song falls in an empty recording studio, does it still make a sound? These details keep me up at night.
My final quibble: the album?s website lists the names of all the musicians involved, alphabetically? by first name. Now playing in my living room: the sound of a deep sigh.

The youths don?t know, but Gene Hackman was one of the greatest actors ever and a true American classic. He came up around the same time as Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duvall (two of his closest friends) and he was beloved by colleagues and directors across the board. There never was one ?Gene Hackman character? ? he could do anything, from paranoid conspiracists to evil presidents to romantic leading men to cowboys, cops and military men. He was even a gifted comedian to boot. Hackman retired from acting two decades ago, and he lived quietly in New Mexico with his wife and dog. He has passed away at the age of 95. His wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, has passed away as well.
Gene Hackman, who never fit the mold of a Hollywood movie star, but who became one all the same, playing seemingly ordinary characters with deceptive subtlety, intensity and often charm in some of the most noted films of the 1970s and ?80s, has died, the authorities in New Mexico said on Thursday. He was 95.
Mr. Hackman and his wife were found dead on Wednesday afternoon at a home in Santa Fe., N.M., where they had been living, according to a statement from the Santa Fe County Sheriff?s Department. Sheriff?s deputies found the bodies of Mr. Hackman; his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 64; and a dog, according to the statement, which said that foul play was not suspected.
Mr. Hackman was nominated for five Academy Awards and won two during a 40-year career in which he appeared in films seen and remembered by millions, among them ?Bonnie and Clyde,? ?The French Connection,? ?The Poseidon Adventure,? ?Mississippi Burning,? ?Unforgiven,? ?Superman,? ?Hoosiers? and ?The Royal Tenenbaums.?
Sheriff Adan Mendoza also told the media that the family dog died in the house as well, but ?there was no immediate indication of foul play in the deaths? and the sheriff also did not indicate anything about the cause of death. My God. Gene and Betsy had been married for 33 years, and Gene is survived by his three adult children from his first marriage. I might have to watch The Royal Tenenbaums tonight in his honor. Two of my favorite stories about Hackman: he said ?no? to The Royal Tenenbaums several times because he didn?t like the character of Royal, so Wes Anderson rewrote it with Gene?s notes and Gene fleshed it out even more and basically bullied Anderson into letting him go buckwild in that role. Gene also said no to his old friend Clint Eastwood when Eastwood approached him about Unforgiven and Clint basically had to beg him to do it (Hackman won an Oscar for it).

Remember Scrim? He?s the terrier in New Orleans who jumped 13-feet off a second story into freedom, while he was still recuperating from air pellet gun wounds and lost teeth from six months on the lam. The good news is he was safely recovered a couple weeks ago! And in that short time the stealthy pup landed himself in the middle of a brief custody battle.
Both times Scrim was on the lam (nearly 10 months total), Michelle Cheramie ? the owner of Zeus? Rescues who originally saved Scrim from a dog pound ? worked closely with couple Tammy Murray and Freba Maulauizada on the rescue efforts. Murray and Maulauizada thought they would be adopting Scrim after his second sprint. Except once Scrim was returned to Cheramie earlier this month (she?s always been the first contact, as owner of Zeus? Rescues), Cheramie decided she wanted to keep Scrim. After some public barklash over the ownership dispute (Scrim is a bone-a-fide Nola celeb by now), all three women realized Scrim was obviously doing really well with Cheramie. So they recorded a video to happily confirm that Scrim will remain with Cheramie, while Murray and Maulauizada will still play big roles in his life:
The (second) rescue effort: After he skedaddled from Cheramie?s home in November, the trail went quickly cold after the batteries in Scrim?s GPS collar died within hours. People with nets and tranquilizer darts formed search parties that scoured the city for Scrim on both of his runs, but they came up empty-handed. He eschewed baits of beef tripe and locally beloved Popeyes fried chicken while making fleeting appearances on doorbell camera videos across New Orleans, earning him international media coverage as well as a large online following within the city and beyond. Eventually, on 11 February, an apparently hungry Scrim reportedly crawled into a narrow trap designed for cats, was recaptured and returned to Cheramie.
Cheramie?s about-face: Murray at that point thought Scrim would be going to the home she shared with her partner, Maulauizada. The animal advocate and furniture designer, who had spent days and nights partaking in efforts to find Scrim, had submitted an application to adopt the dog through Zeus? Rescues and had gained approval. However, on 18 February, Cheramie announced on Facebook that she had decided to keep Scrim for herself after he had bonded with her dog, Scooby, and had even been received warmly by her cats. ?I had a change of heart,? Cheramie wrote. ?I wanted him to be my dog.?
Heated reactions: [Cheramie] acknowledged that Murray and Maulauizada ?took it hard?, referred to ?a lot of hurt and pain?, and expressed a desire for a time when ?we will all heal?. Murray herself confirmed that was the case in her own social media statement, writing: ?No words. Devastated and really speechless. 10+ months of my life dedicated to bringing him home to safety. Even made it official and filled out an application and got approved only to be here ? not my dog.? Many sympathized with Murray. One user wrote Cheramie was acting ?selfish ? and ? isn?t putting Scrim?s needs before her emotions?. Another wrote: ?She sees him as a meal ticket.? And still another wrote to Zeus? Rescues: ?I think you have showed you can?t properly take care of him. This should not be your dog.?
Focusing on Scrim: The rancorous tone of the dialogue unwittingly set off by Murray?s and Cheramie?s dueling statements then evidently prompted both to collaborate on defusing it. Convinced that Scrim was thriving in Cheramie?s home, Murray and Maulauizada then essentially dropped their adoption claim to leave him in the care of the Zeus? Rescues proprietor, with assurances that they would still have roles in his life. They also made a conciliatory video with Cheramie and Scrim, on her lap, between them. An intermittently teary-eyed Murray said in the video: ?Our focus is on Scrim. I hope everyone can celebrate with us that this dog is just doing wonderful.?
Woof, what a mess! Scrim?s sagas never end! Not gonna lie, as I watched all 11 minutes of the conciliatory video, there were moments when I understood how a person/dog could get the urge to run. No no no, I jest! (Mostly.) These three women have clearly been through the ringer, spending nearly a year working together to get Scrim off the streets during both sprees. I?d say the big error was accepting an adoption application while Scrim was still on the lam (again). And speaking of, that rascal just sits in the middle of them with a doe-eyed look that screams, ?What? Surely I?m not the cause of all this brouhaha?? The little floof. He did seem fully relaxed, and the women acknowledged that that?s all they want for him. Their best moment was at the end, when they agreed Scrim doesn?t belong to a person, but to New Orleans.
PS ? Hilarious that he was finally caught? via cat trap.

During the Invictus Games in Whistler and Vancouver this month, I noticed that certain outlets were doing very thorough coverage, notably People Magazine, Hello Mag and local Canadian broadcasters. Harry even gave an exclusive interview to People, and it certainly appeared as if the Invictus team was giving exclusives to Hello & People. Well, as it turns out, Us Weekly sent someone to the games, and Harry also gave that weekly magazine an interview too. He even talked about Meghan and her Instagram.
No regrets: The duke is now a decade older since he launched the first Games in 2014 ? and tells Us Weekly exclusively he has no regrets: ?Today, I have the benefit of hindsight and experience, but I wouldn?t change any of it ? except still wishing there were no need for the Invictus Games.?
His happiness with how well the games went: During our chat, which took place after watching his beloved Team UK defeat Team Nigeria during a sitting volleyball semi-final on February 15, Harry explained: ?I?m just grateful for the display that they?re putting on, and for being the humans that they are.? The royal also told Us about connecting with other do-gooders. ?I was sitting with a couple of new friends of mine from [Ukraine?s] Superhumans Center, where they?re literally putting people back together. Prosthetics, psychological support, all of that is pretty incredible!?
On the Invictus competitors: ?They will continue to have bad days. But for this week, the bad days are very limited ? because they realize that they?re not isolated, they?re not alone. Everybody around them is carrying something. Once you put all these guys and girls in the same arena, they start sharing each other?s stories and realize that ?. there?s nothing wrong with them.?
On Meghan?s connection to Invictus: The duchess, 43, ?has been part of this community since shortly after the Orlando Games in 2016 and has loved every minute of it,? Harry reveals to Us. ?There are so many special memories.? At the Sydney Games 2018, for instance, Harry recalled getting a ?bear hug? from one well-wisher and ?my genuine concern that he might try the same with my wife, who was pregnant at the time!?
Meghan?s Instagram: While Meghan went home after the Whistler portion to be with kids Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, she continued to cheer on her man via her newly-launched and extremely active Instagram account. ?Yes, the Instagram shout-out was very sweet and much appreciated!? Harry gushed to Us.
The 2027 Games in Birmingham: ?Birmingham for us, is a very, very emotionally connected place. A lot of these guys, they woke up in Birmingham after being blown up in Afghanistan,? Harry explains of the city, whose Queen Elizabeth Hospital is often the first stop for wounded British soldiers. Whatever Birmingham brings, Harry is ready and open for what comes next. ?I?ve learned, evolved, and been shaped by the resilience and brilliance of our Invictus community. Serving them and their families remains one of the greatest privileges of my life.?
I still have a lot of concerns about the Birmingham games, but they?re more than two years away and a lot can happen in two years. I?m not trying to sound menacing at all ? I?m just saying, who knows what America will look like in 2027, and who knows what the situation will be over in England in two years. Meanwhile, I love that he talked about how Meghan is part of the Invictus community too and how much she loves to support the games. When they met, Harry had a private finsta ? I wonder if he still does, and whether he ?follows? Meghan?s IG account. Anyway, another successful Invictus games? and another Invictus week which was actively ignored by the head of Britain?s armed forces.
