Courtney Clenney pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2022 killing of her boyfriend Christian Obumseli and could walk free in roughly two years, a sentence his grieving family called inadequate.

Mark Zuckerberg's 387-foot superyacht sat idle off the Alaska coast while a small cruise ship sailed past it to rescue a stranded skiff, and passengers aboard the rescue vessel booed when they heard what happened.

Zuckerberg's superyacht, the Launchpad, was closer to the stranded boat than any other ship in the area, but its crew never answered. Instead, a far smaller vessel did what the Launchpad did not.

A new royal biography alleges that King Charles III and Queen Camilla asked Catherine, Princess of Wales, to change the spelling of her first name to avoid a clash of royal monograms, and that Prince William refused on her behalf, calling the request "insulting." The claim comes from author Christopher Andersen's biography "Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen," published by Gallery Books and now available.

Their suggestion: would she mind spelling her formal name "Katherine" instead of "Catherine"? She would…Open
