It looked like he wanted to be in his favorite place in the world but without his favorite person by his side.

There’s heavy speculation that suggests something must be going on behind closed doors as Prince Harry is making it pretty clear that he wants to pull the plug on his marriage to his wife, Meghan Markle. Or at least, that’s how some sources close to the situation are putting it.

Prince Harry – Didn’t Want Meghan Markle To Travel With Him To Africa

It was reported not too long ago that Meghan supposedly planned her husband Prince Harry’s birthday, which involved a hiking trip to Africa with some of his closest friends.

But a lot of people can’t help but wonder why the Duchess of Sussex wasn’t included in the plans, seeing how this was Harry’s 40th birthday.

One insider even put it this way,...

It’s better that he realizes now than later. There’s a new report that suggests Prince Harry knows that he’s not fit to be an American businessman.

Not only that, but the Duke of Sussex has also made the self-realization that he doesn’t know how to help his wife, Meghan Markle, and her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, become successful.

Royal Family News – Prince Harry Isn’t Fit To Be An American Businessman

That’s because he’s never had to make money in his life as a member of the royal family. Prince Harry never thought about starting a business when his business has always been being a royal. He’s never done it in the past and simply doesn’t know how to do it.

That said, it seems like both Harry and Meghan are quite worried that Meghan’s lifestyle brand isn’t doing...

He just doesn’t know how to quit. There’s a new report that suggests Queen Camilla is feeling very frustrated with her husband, King Charles.

That’s because he keeps on scheduling royal engagements and public appearances despite his ongoing battle with cancer. And for the Queen of England, this has gotten very frustrating. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Royal Family News – Queen Camilla Is Feeling Very Frustrated With King Charles For This Reason

Exclusive: Joanne Froggatt is staying in business with MGM.

The actor has signed an exclusive first-look deal with MGM International Television Productions through her production company Insight Pictures.

It comes as Last Light, the MGM-produced series that she stars in alongside Matthew Fox, is set to premiere on Peacock on September 8.

Froggatt is best known for starring in long-running ITV/PBS period drama Downton Abbey and also recently starred in crime series Liar for the British broadcaster and BBC/Britbox series Sherwood.

As part of the pact, she has already set up her first project, a comedy drama series called Love To Tell the Tale.

The series is about a single woman’s quest for motherhood with Froggatt is attached to play the lead role. It marks her production company’s debut project.

It is MGM International Television Productions’ latest first-look deal after signed deals with the likes of Simon Baker,...

On Liar, Joanne Froggatt (of Downton Abbey fame) plays school teacher Laura Nielson, who accuses a handsome widowed doctor (Ioan Gruffudd) of drugging and raping her. The two go out for dinner, where they hit it off, before heading back to Laura’s apartment. Once inside, they flirt over a couple glasses of wine before Laura wakes up alone in bed the next morning, with the sick feeling that she’s been sexually assaulted.

The British miniseries airing on SundanceTV isn’t so much a show about rape, but rather, what happens when someone reports a rape. What unfolds over the six episodes (which will draw to a “satisfying conclusion,” Froggatt tells Et) is scrutiny of Laura’s past as well as the night of the incident, a decision to go public that polarizes friends and family as the show’s anti-heroine becomes more and more unstable.

“I hadn’t seen a TV show tackle the subject...

We're celebrating 50 brilliant UK independent bookshops. If your favourite is missing, please add it to the list below...

In Neil Gaiman’s preface to Shelf Life: Fantastic Stories Celebrating Bookstores, he describes four bookshops from his childhood. One was a travelling school shop, one a local store staffed by a helpful hippy where he’d pick up 25p Tom Disch novels, another was a bus ride away and owned by a Grinch who’d glower at schoolchildren customers, and the last was a now-defunct Soho sci-fi and fantasy treasure trove. Four individual shops run by booksellers with distinct personalities and idiosyncratic tastes. All of which made Gaiman what he is.

That’s the joy of independent bookshops. Their personalities shape those of the people who visit them. They’re not homogenous. Their stock tends to reflect their passions rather than the year's best-performing unit-shifters. And their...

Gun to your head - or, rather, powerful laser device pointed close to your groin - you could probably list all six actors who've played James Bond.

But Connery, Brosnan, Moore and so on are the just the tip of the (admittedly quite small) iceberg, as this list of the "other" Bonds proves...

1. Bob Holness

Best known for everyone's favourite pee-themed, letter-obsessed quiz show, Holness enjoyed a wide and varied career before he settled down behind the Blockbusters desk, once working as an airborne traffic reporter and briefly holding down a job in a South African printing press.

How he then ended up as secret agent James Bond 007 seems as great a mystery as "Who are the kind of parents that call their daughter Pussy Galore?" But he did, thanks to a 1956 BBC radio play based on Moonraker.

2. Barry Nelson

Review Rob Smedley 12 Feb 2014 - 22:00

Sky's glossy four-part Ian Fleming biopic is a sexy affair. Here's Rob's review of episode one...

This review contains spoilers.

Ian Fleming was good at sex. Writing it, that is. And not just in the way James Bond bedded women with the frequency of a man allergic to standing up. Fleming made sure everything in 007's literary adventures was writ sexy: destinations, clothes, food, drink, cars, planes, even décor... everything in Bond's life was veneered with the seductive, the alluring. It still is. Well, you only live twice, why not make it fun?

It was an especially potent cocktail when he first introduced Bond's 'shagnanigans' to the grey British public in 1953. It was the post-war era of austerity, when rationing was still in place and most people hadn't ventured further than Clacton-on-Sea, and even then that was only for some thoroughly workmanlike, 'best undergarments,...
