Prince Harry isn't supposed to be using the title of His Royal Highness, but do those rules apply here in America? According to TMZ, on the birth certificate for his daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, Harry is listed as first name "The Duke of Sussex" and last name "His Royal Highness." Speaking of names, there's a story out there that Harry and Meghan Markle rejected the Earl of Dumbarton title for Archie because they were afraid he would be made fun of with "dumb" jokes. Technically, Harry is the Earl of Dumbarton himself, but he could pass the title on to Archie. It is more than likely possible they didn't give him the title because they weren't planning on giving their kids any titles anyway, and the palace wouldn't give him the title of prince. Some believe, though that they really didn't want the title because of the word dumb and are considering it an "insult to Dumbarton," title and town.
As we told you, Britney Spears went to court this week to ask a judge to end her conservatorship, and now that she's been honest about her "abusive" conservatorship and how she's being controlled, she's apologizing to her fans for lying to her fans. She posted on social media, "I believe as people we all want the fairy tale life and by the way I've posted … my life seems to look and be pretty amazing. I'm bringing this to peoples attention because I don't want people to think my life is perfect because IT'S DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL … and if you have read anything about me in the news this week 📰 … you obviously really know now it's not !!!!" She then added, "I want to apologize for pretending like I've been ok the past two years … I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me …" Brit said part of the reason she lied on social media is because she wanted to capture things in a "fun light" adding, "I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence … existence … and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked …"
Less than a year after "Supernatural" wrapped up its 15-season run, The CW has a prequel series in the works called "The Winchesters." The show will dive into the untold love story Dean and Sam's parents, young John and Mary Winchester. Original series star Jensen Ackles (Dean) and his wife, Danneel Ackles, will executive produce the project. I wouldn't be surprised if Jared Padalecki makes time in his schedule to help out too.
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne has opened up about her legal problems amid her divorce from Tom Girardi and his ongoing embezzlement case. On the latest episode, Erika talked about her life "drastically changing" after deciding to "let go" of her Lamborghini and 16,000-square-foot home along with her marriage. Now she's living in a small apartment, but don't cry her a river just yet. To be clear, it's smaller, yet still bigger than most of our homes and more luxurious.

Kanye West is threatening to sue Walmart for allegedly selling a knockoff version of his Yeezy Foam Runner. According to TMZ, Kanye claims Walmart could be costing Yeezy hundreds of millions of dollars in sales by doing so. The Yeezy Foam Runner became available in June 2020, selling out at $75 a pair. Walmart's identical version sells for just under $25 a pair. I think we can safely say this makes Kanye a Target shopper.

John Boyega has left the starring role in the upcoming Netflix film "Rebel Ridge" mid-production, claiming family issues, but other sources say it's because he had a list of issues from the script to his hotel room. Now that he's gone and the production is on hold to look for a new lead, dozens of crew members have reportedly been let go, though they hope to pick up the filming early next year. As for what the truth is, according to Radar, John's agent claims, "these rumors are completely untrue" and that "John unfortunately left due to family reasons which in truth is none of anyone's business except his own. "Rebel Ridge" director Jeremy Saulnier declined to comment, and Netflix only said, "We look forward to continuing our partnership with John Boyega's UpperRoom Productions."
It's another he said/he said. Despite Harry telling Oprah during their sit-down interview that they were "cut off" financially from the royal family, The Clarence House released Prince Charles' annual spending report on Wednesday, showing that $6.2 million was spent on "funding the activities" of his sons, Harry and Prince William, and their spouses, Meghan and Kate Middleton. Granted, the money was split between them, so there's no saying exactly how much of that Harry got. According to Radar, insiders report that Charles gave Harry and Meghan money for the first four months of their "transition period," but they were to get "no more handouts" as they were to work "towards becoming financially independent." But, we really don't need to worry about Harry and Meghan since their deal with Netflix is reportedly worth around $100 million, and until that money rolls in, they make an estimated $1 million per speech, plus Harry's Apple TV+ deal with Oprah, so yeah, they're not cutting coupons or using discount apps.
