Royal Family

King Charles picked up a pigskin and tossed it around for the first time (football's hella popular in the UK, but not that football) ... so, how's His Majesty's arm?!

TMZ Sports talked to Washington Commanders' DE Efe Obada -- who spent time with the monarch on the field at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this week -- and even found time to show the King how to throw a football.

"Honestly, I think he's got really good form," Obada told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs weeknights on FS1).

Jessica Alba says she and her celeb pals are letting go of what doesn't serve them as they welcome a new moon for Kerry Washington's birthday.

The actress-turned-businesswoman shared a clip to her TikTok earlier this week ... and, she revealed she and some pals engaged in a spiritual event for a "New Moon Ceremony" with Spirit Daughter leading the festivities.

Spirit Daughter -- founded by Jill Wintersteen, who started her business back in 2016 -- explains the first new moon of the year is a powerful time to manifest at a rapid rate ... and, it's also a good time to let go of the past.

Prince Harry just got a lot richer after striking a last-minute settlement with Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers over accusations he was spied upon by predatory tabloids in a lawsuit.

Harry's attorneys issued a statement that both parties have reached a settlement Wednesday just one day after the trial was set to start.

NGN released its own statement, saying, “We acknowledge and apologize for the distress caused to the duke, and the damage inflicted on relationships, friendships and family, and have agreed to pay him substantial damages.”

Prince William was cheesin' big time at a royal outing, just a day after his wife, Kate Middleton, revealed to the world she's in cancer remission.

William attended the inaugural Emergency and Critical Care Conference in Birmingham, England on Wednesday ... rocking his new title as Patron of the College of Paramedics -- a role that hits home after everything Kate's been through.

William mingled with College of Paramedics leaders from all corners of the field -- the whole initiative dedicated to making sharp calls in high-pressure situations. William likely drew on his experience as a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue pilot and with the East Anglian Air Ambulance crew to connect with the paramedics.

Kate Middleton has confirmed her cancer is now in remission and she's focusing on recovery and a fulfilling year ahead, while also thanking the medical center that treated her.

The Princess of Wales shared a pic at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital, revealing her new role as the institution's Joint Patron to support their medical research and help transform the lives of those impacted by cancer.

Kate also made a rare visit to the hospital, where she spoke with cancer patients about their health journeys -- something she knows all too well.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle's wildfire relief efforts in L.A. aren't being appreciated by at least one celeb, Justine Bateman, who is calling them "disaster tourists."

Bateman jumped on X over the weekend to go on a rant about the former British royals, starting off by labeling Harry and Meghan "ambulance chasers."

The "Family Ties" actress then blasted the couple for a "repulsive photo op" in which they were filmed Friday touring the disaster area near Pasadena along with that city's mayor, Victor Gordo.

Meghan Markle's focused on helping Angelenos recover from the devastating wildfires in the area ... so much so, that her new Netflix show is being postponed until March.

The streaming giant announced the news Sunday ... releasing a statement to their website that explains they've decided to push back the first season of the show "With Love, Meghan" at the request of the Duchess of Sussex.

The show has been described by some outlets as a love letter to the beauty of Southern California ... so, it makes sense Markle may not want it released amid all the devastation taking place in the area.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen touring the L.A. fire damage in Altadena ... actively participating in the ongoing wildfire relief efforts.

Check out these pics -- obtained by TMZ -- of the royals, face masks on and hands clasped, as they toured the fire-ravaged neighborhood Friday ... where witnesses tell TMZ they looked somber, emotional, and in shock, spending 45 minutes taking in the devastation.

Harry and Meghan were joined by a team and a few city officials, getting a tour of the devastated areas. They were careful not to touch anything, quietly absorbing the scale of the destruction.

Meghan McCain went nuclear on Meghan Markle over her "tone deaf" trailer for her upcoming Netflix cooking/lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan," essentially saying for someone who fled the Royal Family, it's rich she's now acting like an aristocrat!

McCain was reacting to the promo for her new Netflix show, in which Meghan shows off her culinary skills with her smiley friends in a fancy kitchen that screams privilege. Her celeb guests include Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, Alice Waters and former "Suits" costar Abigail Spencer.

Meghan says ... "There have been 2 terror attacks in 2 days, major wars raging and Americans can't pay for groceries. We are a country in rage, uncertainly and intensity right now." Short story ... she calls Markle's cooking venture "out of touch."

Meghan Markle is serving a message loud and clear to the haters in the trailer for her new lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan" -- it’s not about perfection, darling ... it’s all about the joy.

MM dropped the trailer for the Netflix 8-parter just a day after making her IG return. And from the looks of it, fans are about to see her fully in her element -- cooking, gardening, hanging with friends -- and of course, a Prince Harry cameo for that extra royal sparkle when the series drops on January 15.

The trailer’s all sunshine, rainbows and celeb cameos -- with the personal peek into Meghan’s life marking her solo debut with Netflix.

Meghan Markle is looking for a fresh start on social media heading into 2025 ... the Duchess of Sussex has made her official return to Instagram.

Check it out ... the "Suits" alum dropped her own account on the picture-sharing platform on New Year's Day after previously exiting the app before marrying Prince Harry and joining the British royal family in 2018.

However, years after her and Harry's infamous "Megxit," it looks as though Meghan is ready to reconnect with her fans online ... and has already posted her first upload.

Prince George is second in line for the throne, but first in line when it comes to celebrating XMAS with an awesome reading of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."

The 11-year-old son of William and Kate was grinning ear to ear as he took in Richard Grant's dramatic read. Grant, after all, is an Oscar nominee, so it's gotta be good.

George and the brood were at Kate Middleton's annual "Together at Christmas" service, where carols were on the menu.

Kate Middleton is spreading positive holiday cheer with an uplifting message, while also mentioning "times of joy and sadness" ahead of her annual carol concert.

The Princess of Wales -- who is continuing her recovery from cancer -- shared a heartfelt clip to her social media Tuesday ... urging everyone to “shine for each other.”

The clip shows various images from the Christmas Carol event Middleton puts on each year, which was recorded at Westminster Abbey earlier this month ... with kids hanging decorations, playing steel drum and -- of course -- singing their hearts out.

US-UK relations got a little stronger with a handshake, as Donald Trump greeted Prince William at the ceremonial reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Trump was spotted making his way down the line of world leaders, eventually reaching Prince William, placing his hand on the royal's shoulder as they shared a handshake and a quick conversation Saturday.

The last time Trump and Prince William met was in 2019 when Trump was in office.

Prince Harry is sharing what it's like to have his marriage to Meghan Markle constantly in the spotlight ... joking trolls think they've broken up and gotten back together a dozen times.

The Duke of Sussex talked about his relationship with Meghan during an event Wednesday in New York City, when Andrew Ross Sorkin asked him what it was like to constantly read stories and hear rumors in the media about his marriage.

Prince Harry says all the interest -- both from the public and the media -- isn't necessarily a good thing, adding ... "Apparently we've bought or moved houses 10, 12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it's just like, what?'"
