Prince George’s reaction to Princess Charlotte wanting to trade seats at a royal event has gone viral on TikTok.
The future king was quite happily watching Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee pageant when his younger sister asked to swap places on June 5, 2022.
George got up to allow Charlotte to sit next to their father, Prince William, only for her to later change back again.
A clip of the moment went viral on TikTok and prompted one fan to reply: “George is like ‘okay make up your mind dude.’😭”

Why It Matters
The video was liked 37k times and viewed 371k times after being posted with the message: “This is so funny.”
What to Know
The footage appears to show Charlotte asking George to switch seats, prompting a somewhat unimpressed response from her older brother.
Prince William then appears to ensure Charlotte gets her request, only for the young princess, seven at the time, to then change her mind.
The royals were then celebrating 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, not knowing that just a few months later the crown would pass to King Charles III.
The Platinum Jubilee was Elizabeth’s last big celebration with her people and was also a moment when George and Charlotte’s younger brother, Prince Louis, won many hearts.
One of his most iconic images—in which he covered his ears as R.A.F. jets flew overhead was taken days earlier, on June 2, 2022.
What People Are Saying
One fan replied: “I think prince George is annoyed 😂,” while another wrote: “Its just a part of being a little sister, speaking of experiences🙈.”
A third said: “hahaha, Charlotte jumps so funny,” in references to her excited body language after the swap. A fourth said: “He really love his sister.”
What Happens Next
George and Charlotte are both still young and therefore are in the public eye only occasionally, with their next appearance likely to be Easter.
Fans can look forward to many years of watching the Wales children grow up and blossom into working royals, assuming William and Kate choose that path for Charlotte and Louis.
Travis Kelce reportedly felt “helpless” after his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was pelted with boos during the Super Bowl 2025 match-up between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
On Sunday, the 14-time Grammy winner, 35, appeared on the Jumbotron inside Caesars Superdome but was quickly met with loud boos from die-hard Birds fans.
The frosty reception to her presence appeared to take her by surprise with a simple three-word response.And it seems as though the 3-time Super Bowl champ, 35, also had a hard time digesting the harsh reaction to his girlfriend’s attendance following the Chiefs’ disappointing loss.
“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.”
The insider claimed that many Eagles fans feel that the “Fortnight” singer is “a traitor of sorts” — given that she’s from Pennsylvania and a former Birds fan.
Travis Kelce felt “helpless” after Taylor Swift was pelted with boos during the Super Bowl.
On Sunday, the 14-time Grammy winner, 35, appeared on the Jumbotron inside Caesars Superdome but was quickly met with loud boos from die-hard Birds fans.
“Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there,” the source went on.
“After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year it just hasn’t been a good week for them. But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy.”
The Post has reached out to Kelce’s reps for comment.The boos were later echoed by President Trump, who took to social media to to troll the singer after his brief appearance at the match-up.
“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him,” a source said of Kelce.
“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” Trump wrote on Truth Social alongside a video of the moment.
The president’s jibe stung a little more given that Kelce previously said it was a “great honor” that Trump was planning to attend the game.
While Trump was spotted in the stands at the beginning of the game, he didn’t stick around for long.
The POTUS, 78, who previously predicted that the Chiefs would win, cut his losses and hit the road by halftime.
The frosty reception to her presence appeared to take the singer by surprise.
Still, Swift did receive some supportive words from retired tennis legend Serena Williams, who took to social media to share a loving message to the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker after the now-viral moment.
Meghan Markle fans reacted with fury after a royal biographer who famously called her a “brazen hussy” attended the Invictus Games, with one account posting: “Somebody call the police.”
Prince Harry and Meghan have been at perhaps their biggest public event of the year in Vancouver, Canada, where they have been watching competitors in the duke’s Olympics-style tournament for wounded veterans.
The couple’s Sussex Squad online supporters spotted author Tom Bower in the audience, with one fan accosting the author.

Why It Matters
The Sussex Squad has a long standing hatred of Bower and belief that he was a danger to the duchess after he previously said during an interview with Good Morning Britain: “It’s Meghan I’m after.”
They no doubt felt Bower was taking a media campaign against her into the real world and at least one suggested calling the police. Royalist social media accounts also jumped in to defend Bower, accusing the Sussex Squad of bullying him.
The incident reflects the potential risks that can exist when social media culture suddenly finds expression in the real world.
What to Know
Footage posted on YouTube and recirculated on Twitter shows one fan approach Bower and ask: “Why are you at Invictus?” to which he replied: “Oh, well, I’m just here just having a look.”
“Sure, really?” the woman said. “That’s why you came to see? Or is it because you know Harry and Meghan were going to be here today?”
“I think that’s true too,” Bower said.
“Yeah, we’ve read the things you’ve wrote about them, especially Meghan,” the woman continued. “We’ve heard about your book. So it’s very interesting that you’re at Invictus because we know why you’re here.
“So why don’t you tell the truth about why you’re here? You came all the way from the U.K. and the U.K. press to Invictus in Canada just because you want to see it? Nah, I don’t think so.”
Another voice can be heard off-camera saying: “You’re up to no good, that’s [why] you’re here.”
What People Are Saying
The original footage was posted to YouTube with the message: “UK Cesspool Rat Tom Bowers at Invictus.”
It was recirculated on Twitter with the message: “This disgusting pig is at the Invictus games. Somebody call the police. I love the sussex squad protecting harry and meghan from SCUM.”
A pro-royal account posted: “Tom Bower is now actively being hunted by Harry and Meghan’s fanbase at the Invictus Games. If he is harassed I hope all the people doing it are thrown out.
“A bunch of grown women behaving like hyenas. Utterly disgraceful behaviour towards a man minding his own business.”
Tom Bower and Meghan Markle
In October 2022, Bower was discussing Prince Harry’s book Spare, which had not yet been released, when he said: “He’ll keep his princely title, it’s Meghan I’m after. His book is really Meghan’s. Meghan is the person who has dictated this agenda.”
And a few months earlier, during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, he said: “To see her smiling through the open window of a car, making sure she’s seen without any contrition whatsoever just shows what a brazen hussy she is.”
The swipe became famous among Harry and Meghan’s online supporters, with many choosing to adopt “Brazen Hussy” as their social media names.
What Happens Next
No doubt Harry and Meghan will look to continue enjoying the Invictus Games without becoming involved in any of the argument over Bower.
A senior official at the U.S. Department of Justice has directed federal prosecutors to dismiss charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat known for his close ties to President Donald Trump.
In a two-page memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan office that brought the case, stated that the decision to drop the charges was made without evaluating the strength of the prosecution and was not intended to undermine the attorneys who filed the case.However, Bove noted that the timing of the charges and “more recent actions” by former U.S. Attorney Damian Williams had compromised the integrity of the proceedings. He cited concerns over increased prejudicial pretrial publicity, which he warned could influence potential witnesses and the jury pool.
Mayor of New York City Eric Adams arrives prior to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump at the United States Capitol on January 20, 2025, in Washington, DC.
Why It Matters
The move follows months of speculation that Trump’s Justice Department might intervene to end the criminal case against Adams. The criminal case against Adams centers on allegations that he accepted illegal campaign contributions and extravagant travel perks exceeding $100,000. These included luxury hotel stays, costly flight upgrades, and even a visit to a Turkish bathhouse while he was serving as Brooklyn Borough President.
He has denied doing anything illegal and said the criticism of his overseas trips and deeply discounted first-class travel was unfair.
What To Know
Adams traveled to Florida to meet with Trump on January 17. Following the meeting, he stated that they did not discuss his criminal case or the possibility of a pardon but suggested that Trump’s policies would be more beneficial for New York than those of former President Joe Biden.
Following Trump’s inauguration, Adams’ legal team approached senior Justice Department officials, requesting that they step in and drop the case.
Trump had previously suggested the possibility of a pardon, telling reporters in December that Adams had been “treated pretty unfairly.” He also claimed—without evidence—that Adams was being targeted for his criticism of former President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.
The federal prosecutor who filed the charges, former U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, resigned following Trump’s election victory. However, as recently as Jan. 6, prosecutors signaled that their investigation was still ongoing, stating in court filings that they continued to “uncover additional criminal conduct by Adams.”
In December, Adams’ chief adviser and closest confidant, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, was indicted by the Manhattan district attorney on charges that she and her son accepted $100,000 in bribes linked to real estate construction projects.
What People Are Saying
Adams said the day after the meeting with Trump: “I’m looking forward to the next four years of having a president that loves the city like I love this city.”
Trump said in October at a Manhattan event attended by Adams: “I know what it’s like to be persecuted by the DOJ, for speaking out against open borders. We were persecuted, Eric. I was persecuted, and so are you, Eric.”
What Happens Next
The Justice Department’s order mandates that the case be dismissed without prejudice, leaving open the possibility of it being refiled in the future.
The memo marks a significant break from longstanding Justice Department norms—both in its directive to drop a case that prosecutors had already determined to be legally sound and in its reasoning that a high-profile defendant’s official duties could take precedence over facing accountability for alleged crimes.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar has continued to see success following his Super Bowl LIX halftime show performance.
On Sunday, as the Kansas City Chiefs went up against the Philadelphia Eagles, Lamar took the stage at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans alongside guests SZA, Mustard, Serena Williams and Samuel L. Jackson. His set list included many songs from the album GNX, which dropped in November, such as “Squabble Up,” “Luther,” “TV Off” and “Peekaboo.” He also sang older hits, including “HUMBLE.” and “DNA.”
During the 13-minute mashup, fans were treated to “Not Like Us,” Lamar’s Drake diss track and Grammy-winning hit.
Following the event, Lamar topped charts on Apple Music and Spotify.

Pop Crave, a pop culture account on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, “Kendrick Lamar currently has the #1 album (‘GNX’) and #1 song (‘Not Like Us’) on US Apple Music following the #SuperBowl.”
In a separate message posted hours later, it added, “Kendrick Lamar occupies the top 3 on US Spotify: #1: luther — 2.056M #2: tv off — 1.868M #3: Not Like Us — 1.785M.”
The X account for chartdata.org, a website that tracks updates in music charts, wrote, “Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ has returned to #1 on US Apple Music following #SuperBowl halftime.” It added in another message, “Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ re-enters this week’s Billboard 200.”
The NFL’s Instagram account uploaded a slew of clips as the halftime show aired, including one of Lamar rapping “Squabble Up.” At the time of publication, the video had racked up more than 2 million views and more than 142,000 likes. In the video’s comments section, the account for Apple Music posted a raising hands emoji.
Lamar’s X account also received a boost following the halftime show. According to the analytics website Social Blade, the rapper gained 17,504 followers on the platform on Sunday. On Monday morning, another 18,091 people had clicked the “Follow” button.
By contrast, Lamar gained 1,587 followers on Saturday, lost 24 followers on Friday and gained 150 followers on Thursday.
Sunday wasn’t the first time Lamar performed at the Super Bowl. In 2022, the Compton, California, native shared the halftime stage with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and more.
Lamar and SZA—whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe—are scheduled to kick off the Grand National Tour in April, visiting 19 stadiums across North America.
Prior to the Super Bowl, SZA had refrained from giving away too many details about the halftime show, telling the Daily News on February 2, “That’s King Kendrick’s performance and that it is all for him to divulge.”
“What I can say is he’s worked really hard on it,” she continued. “And I’m so honored to be a part of it, and I’m so honored to even know him and exist in the same time as someone as brilliant as him.”
Government employees and civil servants have been encouraged by Democratic senators to act as whistleblowers against the Trump administration.
A Democratic Caucus letter sent by Senators Chuck Schumer and Gary Peters asks public servants to report “wrongdoing, abuse of power, and threats to public safety,” according to The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the letter.The Democratic Caucus has also created an online whistleblowing form for employees to report government “Retaliation, Wasteful Spending, Fraud, Criminal Activity, and/or Other.”Newsweek has reached out to Peters and Schumer via email for comment.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer holds hands with Representative Maxine Waters in a gathering of congressional Democrats outside the Treasury Department on February 4.
Why It Matters
The Democrats, who were left without majority control of the House and Senate after November’s elections, have been criticized by some progressives for not doing enough to stop President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk from gutting federal agencies.
Given their lack of power in the legislative and executive branches, the Democrats and several nonprofits have brought dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration. These suits concern the president’s moves to end birthright citizenship, allow Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to Treasury data, fire FBI employees and more.
Now, government employees are being asked to point out illegal activity that they witness. The Schumer and Peters letter comes as GOP Senator Chuck Grassley has asked government workers to become whistleblowers on “wrongdoing within federal agencies or misuse of public dollars.”
What To Know
Schumer and Peters have told federal employees, they are covered by the Whistleblower Protection Act, which is intended to ensure that federal employees are not subject to retaliation if they provide evidence of possible wrongdoing within the government.
The two senators said they will also be investigating the president’s administration through inquiries, oversight requests and hearings, the Post reported.
Democrats have expressed concern about Trump’s recent move to cut 2,200 workers from the United States Agency for International Development. Schumer said on X (formerly Twitter): “Trump and DOGE’s actions at USAID are illegal and dangerous for the country.”
The president has said he wants to cut the federal workforce by 10 percent as part of his efforts to minimize the federal budget.Don Moynihan, a professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan, told NPR that the budget for the 2.4 million federal employees is about $350 billion out of an overall $6.5 trillion budget.
“Their salaries are “a tiny sliver of total government spending—just around 5 percent to 6 percent,” Josh Bivens, chief economist at the Economic Policy Institute, told NPR.

A Reddit page for federal employees, r/govfire, has been flooded with concerns raised by these workers, with fears about a government shutdown, whistleblowing on illegal behavior and the future of their jobs.
Some federal employees spoke to The New York Times about their experiences since the start of the Trump administration. One said she had 24 hours to fill a prescription before being cut off from her health insurance. Another said she is experiencing stages of grief over the sudden loss of her job, which is working on HIV/AIDS treatment in sub-Saharan Africa.
What People Are Saying
The Senate Democratic Caucus letter, obtained by The Washington Post, reads: “As Senate Republicans refuse to fulfill their constitutional duty to provide a check on the Executive Branch, Senate Democrats remain steadfast in our commitment to uncovering the truth. We are prepared to issue demand letters, preserve public records, conduct public hearings, and pursue legal action where necessary.”
Senator Chuck Schumer wrote on X: “To our brave public servants: Your courage in stepping forward as whistleblowers to expose corruption and misconduct is essential to preserving the integrity of our democratic institutions.”
A government employee said on Reddit’s r/govfire: “If I refuse to comply with some blatantly illegal/unethical order in the coming months or years and am fired, is my pension at risk? Or is that supposedly safe even in cases of ‘conduct issues’? (I know this administration doesn’t care about laws, so who knows what they’ll do, but is there any precedent for punitively reducing someone’s pension?)”
What Happens Next
Vice President JD Vance has said he does not believe the judicial branch should have power over executive branch decisions, a view that raises the potential prospect of a constitutional crisis over reporting what is seen as illegal activity by the president.
Proud dad Antonio Banderas has given his stamp of approval to his engaged daughter, Stella.”The only thing that I want if my daughter got into a relationship and now into a marriage is that she’s loved,” Banderas told People on Saturday, February 1. “Everything else is I don’t care. And she is loved and I love the man that she decided to get married with. So I am very, very happy for both of them.”

The Bosch star, 64, will appear in a commercial for the TV show at the Super Bowl, Sunday, February 9.Stella, 28, is the daughter of Banderas and his ex-wife Melanie Griffith, who was also married to Don Johnson. She was born in Spain and has acted in the films Crazy in Alabama and Mercedes-Benz: In Her Shoes. “It’s just great,” Banderas said of Stella’s upcoming nuptials to entrepreneur Alex Gruszynski, 28. “I feel great for her.”
The young couple got engaged in August 2024, announcing the news on Stella’s Instagram via a carousel of photos that kicked off with the traditional snap of her ring (Gruszynski, founder and CEO of the startup NOVA, was seen lying in the background on a picnic blanket) and included throwback photos of the couple. The pair have known each other since early childhood. She captioned the post, “I get to hang out with my favorite person on earth forever!!!!!!!!”
Griffith, 67, has previously given her nod of approval for the match. In an Instagram post, she told her fans, “Their love story began in pre-school! True love, deep love! Congratulations to the beloveds!!! ♥️” It accompanied a black-and-white portrait of the couple.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s U.S. empire has been under mounting pressure in recent years after a series of high profile articles in American magazines.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have long hated the British media and framed their declining popularity in the U.K. as a product of tabloids poisoning the well of public opinion.However, more recently U.S. magazines have been the outlets throwing the Sussexes into crisis mode, starting in 2022.The Cut: ‘Meghan of Montecito’Meghan and Harry were still highly popular in America in 2022 but the first sign the bubble might burst came that August when New York Magazine’s The Cut dispatched Allison P. Davis to Montecito to interview the duchess.
The result was a far cry from the brash hit pieces in U.K. newspapers like The Sun and the Daily Mail but there was a strong sense Davis had chosen not to drink the Kool-Aid.”She has been media trained and then royal-media trained and sometimes converses like she has a tiny Bachelor producer in her brain directing what she says,” Davis wrote. “At one point in our conversation, instead of answering a question, she will suggest how I might transcribe the noises she’s making: ‘She’s making these guttural sounds, and I can’t quite articulate what it is she’s feeling in that moment because she has no word for it; she’s just moaning.’
“At this stage, post-royal, there’s no need for her to hold back. She’s flinging open the proverbial doors to her life; as any millennial woman whose feminism was forged in the girlboss era would understand, she has taken a hardship and turned it into content.”

Another passage read: “Meghan, silenced no more, looks around, making sure nobody (who would be?) is listening in. Then the top-secret drop: ‘I’m getting back … on Instagram,’ she says, her eyes alight and devilish.
“This could have been a troll: Delivering a nothing with such gravitas feels as if Meghan, who has been so trolled by the media, is serving it back, just a little. But, as I quickly realize, it is actually news.”
The mismatch between interviewer and interviewee is an interesting one because it speaks to a symptom of Meghan and Harry’s wider malaise.
At times, they have pushed themselves out of the spaces that normally fawn over the royals but without necessarily working out how to appeal to other audiences.
The revelation she was returning to Instagram was indeed a big story for precisely the tabloids Meghan and Harry have been trying to avoid but she perhaps should have known The Cut would expect something of greater substance from a woman who once said she reads The Economist.
Variety: ‘It’s Well Past Time for Harry and Meghan 2.0′
Months later, Meghan and Harry released their first Netflix project, a biopic charting their messy exit from the palace.
It soared to the top of the Netflix rankings globally but again there was a canary in the mine shaft moment when Variety gave it a scathing review.
Andrew Wallenstein, president and chief media analyst of its Intelligence Platform, wrote: “There can only be so many revelations left to share with the public now that the couple have exiled themselves away from their fractious coexistence with the monarchy.
“Given that they’ve beaten this horse to death, perhaps this one-trick pony is due for the glue factory.”Of course, Harry and Meghan would have you believe they are about so much more than their own story.”The brand they believe they are building through their media company, Archewell Productions, is meant to be about all the social causes and charities they support.
“Their game plan has always been, Come for the sob story, stay for the high-minded uplift. But that’s a shaky strategy for keeping an audience around that probably doesn’t care about anything either of them has to say that isn’t royal gossip.”
Dolly Parton announced a personal donation of $1m (£761,660) towards Hurricane Helene relief efforts, declaring it was time for her to “step up again.”The Category 4 storm caused widespread destruction and claimed more than 200 lives including one-month-old twin babies in Thomson, Georgia.Speaking outside a Walmart in her home state of Tennessee on Friday, the 78-year-old explained that the money would come from her own bank account and her local commercial ventures, including Dollywood amusement park – would match the donation to the Mountain Ways Foundation.Walmart had announced an increase in its recovery efforts funding to $10m (£7.6m).
Donald Trump labeled Meghan Markle “terrible,” but vowed not to deport Prince Harry over his past drug use—in an unexpected blow to campaigners who say he should not have been admitted to U.S.
Asked whether he would throw Harry out of the country, the president told the New YorkPost: “I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend the 2025 Invictus Games, in Vancouver, on February 9, 2025.
Why It Matters
The president spoke out shortly before the opening ceremony of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games tournament for wounded veterans, which this year takes place in Canada.
And that makes the timing of his comments particularly pertinent after recent speculation in British newspapers that Harry was scared to leave the U.S. for fear he would not be allowed to return.
Harry is fiercely protective of Meghan and often reacts badly to criticism of her, but in this case it is his detractors who have the greater reason for disappointment.
What to Know
Right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation sued Joe Biden’s former administration seeking access to Prince Harry’s visa records, arguing he should have been denied entry into America due to experiences with drugs. He described taking cocaine, cannabis, magic mushrooms and ayahuasca in his book Spare.
They had talked up the idea of Trump deporting Harry in comments ahead of the November election.
However, Harry and Meghan did not campaign against Trump in the 2024 election, despite having taken several veiled swipes at him in 2020.
That may well have helped make Harry a low priority for Trump at a time when he has other fish to fry.
The Telegraph speculated in January that Prince Harry may have settled a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s media empire in part to avoid him having to leave America to give evidence at the High Court in London.
The newspaper may well have been wrong about that, and Harry has certainly indicated previously that he is not a fan of the reporter who wrote the piece, but Trump’s comments were needless to say timely, given that Harry had left America to host the games in Canada at the point they were published.
What People Are Saying
Donald Trump told the Post: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Mike Howell, executive director of the think tank’s Oversight Project, told Newsweek in September: “President Trump has already suggested that Prince Harry will be deported next year and the case for that just got a lot more compelling.”
Prince Harry gave a speech at the opening ceremony of Invictus a day after Trump’s remark: “In this moment of difficulty and division in many parts of the world, we gather here in Vancouver in a spirit of unity.”
What Happens Next
Legal experts always said Harry would not under normal circumstances be deported without a criminal conviction for drugs offenses, but Trump’s return to the White House was a wild card that meant anything seemed possible.
The president’s latest comments remove a major threat to Harry and Meghan’s U.S. lives, but there is still a headache in the background for them.
Heritage’s lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security appears to be heading toward a partial release of some of the prince’s immigration papers, albeit with redactions.
On the one hand, the result could exonerate Harry over the allegation he may have lied on his application. On the other, there may be awkward aspects to his records that emerge.
For example, it is still not publicly known when Harry applied for his visa, but some Sussex critics have long accused the duke and duchess of secretly planning their royal exit since at least summer 2019, months before they said, in early 2020, they wanted to spend more time in North America. The couple have also never said what type of visa Harry has.
The coming weeks may, therefore, still hold some potential bear traps for the prince, depending on what the paperwork says.
