Prince Harry has officially cut the cord with his British roots after years of royal tension ... making it loud and clear he's sticking with the U.S. for the long haul, and calling it home.

The Duke of Sussex updated his country of residence in new paperwork filed with Companies House, which was required for his eco-tourism nonprofit, Travalyst. Whereas he used to claim the United Kingdom as his home base ... that's now changed to America.

While Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have lived here in California for several years now -- these docs show the change in his residency didn't switch up on paper until last June.

Riley Strain's family just dragged his fraternity brothers through the coals on national TV -- claiming they didn't seem to care that he'd gone missing ... allegedly going partying instead.

The late 22-year-old's mother, father and stepfather did an interview with NewsNation Tuesday night -- and much of the 15-minute segment was dedicated to slamming Riley's fellow Delta Chi members who were with him the night he went missing in Nashville.

According to the family, they didn't notify cops about Riley until the next day ... and they go on to claim that when the family showed up, they continued on with their itinerary.

Un hombre de Ohio, quien aparentemente pensó que estaba involucrado en un elaborado complot para estafarlo, ha sido acusado de dispararle fatalmente a una conductora de Uber, quien también había sido engañada, por cierto.

Según los informes, William Brock, de 81 años, le dijo a las autoridades en el condado de Clark que le disparó a Loletha Hall, de 61 años, afuera de su casa el 25 de marzo, pero se defendió diciendo que solo lo hizo pues pensaba que estaba trabajando con alguien que le había exigido un rescate monetario.

Cuento corto, Brock había sido contactado por unos estafadores, que comenzaron diciéndole que tenía que soltar miles de dólares porque un pariente estaba en la cárcel y luego convirtieron el caso en un rescate de rehenes, que dejó a Brock confundido.

An Ohio man has been charged in the fatal shooting of an Uber driver, whom he reportedly thought was involved in an elaborate plot to scam him ... and ditto for the woman, BTW.

Per reports, 81-year-old William Brock told authorities in Clark County that he shot 61-year-old Loletha Hall outside his home on March 25 ... but defended himself, saying he only did so because he believed she was working with someone who'd demanded a ransom from him.

Long story short, Brock had been getting contacted of late by scammers -- who started out by telling him he had to cough up thousands of dollars because some relative was in jail ... which then turned into a straight-up ransom/hostage call, which left Brock confused/rattled.

Riley Strain's mom claims her son complained about his drink not tasting right ahead of his disappearance and subsequent death ... and the implication is that he was roofied.

Michelle Whiteid and her family sat with NewsNation's Brian Entin for an interview that's airing in full later Tuesday -- and she says Riley was texting her the night of his disappearance, where she says he told her his rum and coke did "not taste good."

Michelle says Riley claimed the beverage tasted like barbecue ... reiterating it was not an enjoyable cocktail. Michelle says she told Riley he probably shouldn't be drinking it then.

¡El aeropuerto de Dubái se parecía más a una marina deportiva, después de que una lluvia equivalente a un año de precipitaciones inundara la metrópoli del desierto en un solo día!

La pista del Aeropuerto Internacional de Dubái, el segundo más transitado del mundo, quedó completamente cubierto de agua el martes, haciendo casi imposible que hasta los aviones Jumbo pudieran maniobrar sus naves. Un avión incluso dejó una estela detrás de él mientras lograba aterrizar por la pista.

La ciudad se inundó con casi 5 pulgadas de precipitaciones, dejando el agua proveniente de las lluvias casi tan alta como los neumáticos de un vehículo de apoyo cercano.

La madre de Riley Strain afirma que su hijo se quejó de que su bebida no tenía buen sabor antes de desaparecer y ser encontrado muerto, y la insinuación es que estaba drogado.

Michelle Whiteid y su familia se sentaron con NewsNation para una entrevista que se emite en su totalidad este martes y ella dice que Riley le envió mensajes de texto la noche de su desaparición y en uno de ellos le dijo que su ron y su coca cola no "sabía bien".

Michelle dice que Riley afirmó que la bebida sabía a barbacoa y que no era un cóctel agradable. Michelle dice que le dijo a Riley que probablemente no debería beberlo entonces.

The report says Rob was supposed to do a 30-minute show -- but organizers cut him off 10 minutes in because his jokes were too raunchy and off-color ... with one senator, Cindy Hyde-Smith, reportedly walking out and calling his material "gross and vulgar."

Check it out ... you can see and hear the sedan speeding quickly through the residential area before hitting a curb -- which results in the car getting some serious air, and then it smashes through the garage door. It finally comes to rest on top of one of the pickup trucks.
