Prince William and Prince Harry's Relationship Has Reportedly Reached a Point of "No Turning Back"

Getty Prince William and Prince Harry's brotherly rift has raged on for years, and the brothers currently have no relationship and reportedly haven't spoken in two years. For William, a new report claims, "There is no turning back" in his relationship with Harry, and "The door is firmly shut." King Charles is adopting a "tough love" approach with his younger son, who said in a BBC interview last month that he deeply wanted reconciliation with his family. When it comes to the continually strained relationship between brothersPrince WilliamandPrince Harry—a rift that has persisted for years—it seems that, according to a source speaking toUs Weekly, for William, "There is no turning back." "The door is firmly shut," the insider added. The relationship between the brothers—both the sons ofKing Charlesand the latePrincess Diana—is nonexistent, and royal historian Marlene Koenig said, "Bridges have been burned on both sides." The brothers apparently haven't spoken in two years. Getty William, for his part, is "absolutely appalled" at Harry's recent BBC interview, where Harry said that he would like reconciliation with his family. "For William, there's a fear that Harry would go to the press and talk about what was said between them if he speaks to him," Koenig said, while royal commenter Richard Fitzsimmons added, "The royals don't trust the Sussexes and their relationship with the media." "William cannot forgive Harry for having betrayed the royal family in destructive interviews and a memoir [2023'sSpare]," Fitzsimmons said, with another source speaking toUs Weeklyemphasizing that the Prince of Wales feels "hurt and betrayed" by Harry's public comments. Getty But before the collective public blamesMeghan Marklefor the feud between brothers, royal commentator Amanda Matta encourages a bit of restraint. "The tensions within the family run much deeper than any one woman's influence," she said. "The cracks were already there. If anything, Meghan's presence helped Harry process and articulate the ways in which the institution had already failed him." Koenig said Charles is taking a "tough love" approach with Harry: "Charles never stopped loving Harry, but he doesn't want to [cause] any more tension within the family," she said. "He can't bring his two sons together—that's something they need to do. It must be awfully painful for the King that he doesn't see his grandchildren and that he can't talk to his son [Harry] for fear of what will happen," adding that the King is "keeping his distance until they can find a way to talk." Getty Charles has been battling cancer since early 2024, and while he seems to be stable and doing well, he is 76 years old—and not even monarchs live forever. When that awful day does inevitably come—may it be in the far distant future—not eventhatwill guarantee a reconciliation, Matta toldUs Weekly. Koenig expects that Harry will learn of the King's "illness at the last minute" and that Harry will then fly to the U.K. "But I think access will be regulated, and it will all depend on what the King's wishes are," she added. June 4 marksPrincess Lilibet's fourth birthday, and, because of the conflict between William and Harry, the royal cousins are separated—not just emotionally, but, of course, geographically too. "Kate [Middleton] would have loved for her kids to have a relationship with Harry's, but the dream that [they] could all play together couldn't be further away," a source toldUs Weekly. Getty Images Matta told the outlet that the ball is in William's court, but it will be an uphill climb to get to reconciliation: "This complex rift is about two very different worldviews—one is rooted in preserving tradition, the other in breaking from them when they start to cause harm," she said. "Until that disconnect is addressed, even a basic working relationship will be hard to rebuild." Read the original article onInStyle

A Virginia museum found 4 Confederate soldiers' remains. It's trying to identify themNew Foto - A Virginia museum found 4 Confederate soldiers' remains. It's trying to identify them

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Archaeologists in Virginia were excavating the grounds of a building that stored gunpowder during the American Revolution when they uncovered the eye sockets of a human skull. The team carefully unearthed four skeletons, including one with a bullet in the spine, and three amputated legs. They quickly surmised the bones were actually from the Civil War, when a makeshift hospital operated nearby and treated gravely wounded Confederate soldiers. The archaeologists work at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, a museum that owns the land and focuses on the city's 18th century history. They're now trying to identify human remains from the 19th century, a rare endeavor that will include searching for living descendants and requesting swabs of DNA. The museum has recovered enough genetic material from the men's teeth for possible matches. But the prospect of identifying them emerged only after the team located handwritten lists in an archive that name the soldiers in that hospital. "It is the key," said Jack Gary, Colonial Williamsburg's executive director of archaeology. "If these men were found in a mass grave on a battlefield, and there was no other information, we probably wouldn't be trying to do this." The archaeologists have narrowed the possible identities to four men who served in regiments from Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia. The museum is withholding the names as the work continues. Meanwhile, the remains were reinterred Tuesday at a Williamsburg cemetery where Confederate soldiers from the same battle are buried. "Everyone deserves dignity in death," Gary said. "And being stored in a drawer inside a laboratory does not do that." 'Shockingly costly for both sides' The soldiers fought in the Battle of Williamsburg, a bloody engagement on May 5, 1862. The fighting was part of the Peninsula Campaign, a major Union offensive that tried to end the war quickly. The campaign's failure that summer, stalling outside the Confederate capital of Richmond, informed President Abraham Lincoln's decision to end slavery. In his first inaugural address, Lincoln said he intended to reunite the nation with slavery intact in the Southern states, while halting its westward expansion, said Timothy Orr, a military historian and professor at Old Dominion University. But Lincoln realized after the campaign that he needed a more radical approach, Orr said. And while the president faced political pressure for emancipation, freeing people who were enslaved served as "another weapon to defeat the Confederacy." "He becomes convinced that slavery is feeding the Confederate war effort," Orr said. "It had to be taken away." Bigger and bloodier battles followed Williamsburg, Orr said, but it was "shockingly costly for both sides." Roughly 14,600 Union soldiers fought about 12,500 Confederates, Carol Kettenburg Dubbs wrote in her 2002 book, "Defend This Old Town." The number of Union killed, wounded, captured or missing was 2,283. The Confederate figure was 1,870. The fighting moved north, while a Union brigade occupied the southern city. Confederate soldiers too wounded for travel were placed in homes and a church, which was converted into a hospital. A surgeon from New York treated them, while local women visited the church, Dubbs wrote. One woman noted in her diary on May 26 that there were "only 18 out of 61 left." Their arms were crossed When the remains were discovered in 2023, they were aligned east-west in the Christian tradition, said Gary, the archaeologist. Their arms were crossed. The careful burial indicates they were not dumped into a mass grave, Gary said. Those who died in the battle were almost immediately placed in trenches and later reinterred at a cemetery. The men were not in uniform, said Eric Schweickart, a staff archaeologist. Some were in more comfortable clothes, based on artifacts that included buttons and a trouser buckle. One soldier had two $5 gold coins from 1852. Another had a toothbrush made of animal bone and a snuff bottle, used for sniffing tobacco. The bullet in the soldier's spine was a Minié ball, a common round of Civil War ammunition. The foot of one amputated leg also contained a Minié ball. Bones in a second severed leg were shattered. 'We want it be ironclad' As the team researched the battle, they learned of the lists of hospitalized soldiers, said Evan Bell, an archaeological lab technician. The lists were likely copied from Union records by the women who visited the wounded. The documents were with a local family's papers at William & Mary, a university nearby. The lists became the project's Rosetta stone, providing names and regiments of more than 60 soldiers. They included dates of death and notes indicating amputations. The archaeologists eliminated soldiers on the lists who survived or lost an extremity. The four skeletons had all of their limbs. Death dates were key because three men were buried together, allowing the team to pinpoint three soldiers who died around the same time. William & Mary's Institute for Historical Biology examined the remains and estimated their ages. The youngest was between 15 and 19, the oldest between 35 and 55. The estimates helped match names to enlistment records, census data and Union prisoner of war documents. The soldiers' remains and the amputated limbs were buried in their own stainless steel boxes in a concrete vault, Gary said. If descendants are confirmed, they can move their ancestor to another burial site. The identification effort will continue for another several months at least and will include extensive genealogy work, Gary said. Using only DNA tests on remains from the 1800s can risk false positives because "you start becoming related to everyone." "We want it to be ironclad," he said.

"Growing Pains" star recalls working with Leonardo DiCaprio: 'He was so sweet to me'

Warner Bros. Courtesy: Everett The gig was anything but painful. Ashley Johnson, who played the adorable tyke Chrissy Seaver on two seasons ofGrowing Pains, stopped by thePod Meets Worldrecording studio to chat withDanielle Fishel,Rider Strong, andWill Friedle. During the convo, the gang got to talking about some of Johnson's more notable costars from her time on the ABC sitcom, including the Oscar-winning actor withpredictable dating habits,Leonardo DiCaprio. And she had nothing but nice things to say. ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty; Anna Webber/Getty "Every memory that I have from [Growing Pains] is so good," Johnson said about the show that costarredAlan Thicke,Joanna Kerns,Kirk Cameron,Tracey Gold, andJeremy Miller. "I feel like they were such a family on that show already because I came in on the sixth season." Her character, Chrissy, was born in the fourth season, was a toddler in season 5, and, thanks to the miracle of television logic, sprouted into a 5-year-old in season 6. Also joining the cast toward the end of the run was the character Luke Brower, a homeless teen taken in by the Seaver family. He was, of course, played by the future star ofTitanic,The Wolf of Wall Street, and this autumn'sOne Battle After Another, Leonardo DiCaprio. "He was so good," Johnson remembered. "Like, you could tell so early on. I think at that time he had just finished filmingThis Boy's Life, and that hadn't come out yet, so he was on sort of the last bit of the season forGrowing Pains."

Johnson continued, "I just remember, everyone was like, 'This kid so good.' Like, he just had it. We felt it. He was great. But he was, like, a teenager, you know? He was a kid, but I remember he was so sweet to me." DiCaprio was 16 during his time on the series. Emma McIntyre/WireImage Johnson also talked about the paterfamilias of the Seaver clan, the late Alan Thicke. "The last time I saw everybody, not the greatest, but I went to Alan Thicke's funeral," she shared. "He was the greatest. I mean, as a first TV dad, I just remember I loved hugging him and just being around him. He was wonderful." Thicke died in December 2016 at the age of 69. Johnson's work as an adult is known to many, with a recurring role onThe Killing, a lead onBlindspot, and doing voice work for a great many popular video games, includingThe Last of Us. Indeed, she hada voice cameoduring the second season of the HBO adaptation of the title, a special nod to the die-hard fans.
