Daily #1: At 2025 Emmys, Javier Bardem Pleads for Peace and Humanitarian Relief in Gaza
It was unavoidable. While wearing a keffiyeh around his neck, award-winning actor Javier Bardem pleaded on the Emmys red carpet to advocate for the people of Gaza. He said, “Here I am today denouncing the genocide in Gaza.” He also mentioned that the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) has officially declared that the current humanitarian crisis occurring in the Gaza Strip is a genocide, before talking about their mission. “We ask for a commercial and diplomatic blockade and also sanctions on Israel to stop the genocide. Free Palestine!”
In another red carpet interview, Bardem segued from a question about his experience working on Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story to mentioning IAGS and their work. When asked about what it means to use his platform to champion others, he talked about the Film Workers for Palestine union, adding, “We target film companies and institutions that are complicit and are whitewashing or justifying Israel’s genocide and its apartheid regime. That’s what we’re targeting, not to those who stand in solidarity with oppressed people.”
Daily #2: After More Than a Year Apart, Prince Harry Reveals How King Charles Is Doing
Prince Harry has spoken about his meeting with his estranged father, King Charles, after the duo finally spoke face-to-face for the first time in 20 months. The Duke of Sussex, 40, arrived at his father’s London residence, Clarence House, on Wednesday for “a private tea.” The meeting lasted nearly an hour. Moments after the duo’s talk, the “Spare” author offered some insight into how his cancer-stricken father, the King of England, is doing.
“He’s great, thank you,” Prince Harry told a royal watcher who had asked how King Charles, 76, is doing, after the meeting. Harry’s rep told The New York Post: “He’s obviously loved being back in the UK, catching up with old friends, colleagues, and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him.” Notably missing from the reunion was Prince William, but there was news about his house.
Daily #3: Prince William & Kate Middleton Boost Privacy With Big Security Overhaul at Their Long-Term Residence
Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly made major security upgrades to their new “forever” home in Windsor Great Park, England, due to privacy concerns. The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, are planting new trees and hedgerows around the eight-bedroom property, as well as putting high fences to shield them from public view. It was reported that painters and interior designers are busy decorating inside, and that scaffolding was spotted on the left side of the estate.
It was also reported that planning applications were submitted to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council in June. The following month, permission was granted for external and internal changes to the property, including new windows and doors, as well as renovated ceilings and floors. Middleton was reportedly seen furniture shopping for the estate. The pair and their three kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, will move into by December.
