Prince Harry opened up in a new interview with GQ, saying “yes of course” he wants to reconcile with his brother, Prince William and his father, King Charles.

I want to work it out.” Harry’s reps have had to clarify that the Prince was NOT referring to his brother or anyone else in the royal family. In the 42 minute interview, the Duke of Sussex also revealed new details about his decision to move his family back to England and what life has been like for his kids across the pond.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Halle Berry has filed an emergency request, asking the court to restore her 50/50 custody arrangement with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez regarding their 13-year-old son Maceo. Berry gives a very different account of what happened between her and Maceo on September 26th, saying she would never hurt her son. Martinez claimed Berry physically abused Maceo and placed him in a chokehold, which led a judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the Oscar winning actress. Berry also goes into detail what she claims are examples of Martinez’s negative influence over her son designed to damage her relationship with Maceo.

Halle Berry is being accused of abusing her 12-year-old son Maceo by her ex-husband, actor Olivier Martinez. Martinez was granted a temporary restraining order against the Oscar winning actress and a judge has restricted Berry’s visitation with Maceo. Martinez alleges last week Berry “physically abused our son Maceo, by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck and choking him.” Martinez is asking for sole custody, while Berry’s attorney fired back with a statement, saying her ex-husband’s claims are “entirely meritless and deliberately misleading.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are two new studies out that show younger people aren’t having as much sex and it’s a fairly significant shift from a decade ago. The Institute for Family Studies found that nearly 25 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 haven’t had sex in the past year. A recent Playboy study found the same results, and now experts are looking into why. From burn out from dating apps, to social anxiety stemming from the pandemic, to young adults moving back in with their parents, some experts believe this trend will continue to lower our country’s fertility rates further.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charles Spencer is in the final hours of promoting his book about his late sister Princes Diana, and he continues to drop headline making comments. Spencer says he has no relationship with the King and believes he was gaslit by him, calling Buckingham Palace’s statement about his book condescending and “not straight.” Spencer also acknowledged that while most people believe he’s on Prince Harry’s side of the divide between him and Prince William, he insists he’s on the side of both of them, adding he hopes one day it’s resolved. Princess Di’s brother also revealed the reason he wrote the book now, and included his biggest regret in delivering Diana’s eulogy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A doctor who studies gut feelings for a living wrote a fascinating article in the Washington Post this month. We learn about the science behind a gut feeling and when and how to know whether to trust it.  Researchers found that people who make quick judgements based on gut feelings alone, only get it right around 54% of the time. Instead, scientists say you should treat gut feelings as stop signs, a moment to assess what you’re feeling and why before making a rash decision. They even suggest doing two specific exercises to interrupt the hormonal surge that happens when a “gut feeling” takes over your body. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a list that will have many of you questioning how much you share with others, who you share that information with, and why you’re sharing it in the first place. Oversharing is a common trait in many of us, but sharing itself isn’t the problem, it’s when you’re sharing to get affirmation that’s at issue. Emotionally secure people don’t need their life to be witnessed in order to feel seen, and they don’t need others to confirm what they already know about themselves. We’ll go over the 8 things emotionally secure people keep to themselves, and how they choose to share their stories in a more meaningful way.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘Stranger Things’ Actress Millie Bobbie Brown got married at 20, adopted her first child at 21 and has now adopted her second at the age of 22 alongside her husband, 24-year-old Jake Bongiovi.

The brother of Princess Dianna, Charles Spencer, has authored a new book leading up to the 30th anniversary of her death. In the book, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister” Spencer writes about a phone call he had with then Prince Charles after the death of Diana, where he claims Charles said “Rest assured. We’ll forget her soon enough.” In a rare move, Buckingham Palace chose to respond to the released passage by saying “His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory.” Damn!

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have been dealing with a lot of changes lately, and now, just two days after starting a new school, in a new country, they’ve had to make another major change: another new school. According to the Sussex’s spokesperson, the distance and traffic between home and school have proven to be too difficult and caused enough security concerns that they have switched the children’s school. This comes as the UK announced both the Duke and Dutchess will “imminently receive” an official risk re-assessment to determine whether tax funded security will be extended to them.
