Lady Susan Hussey, who joined the late queen’s household in 1960 as a lady-in-waiting and became one of the most influential courtiers of her reign, made headlines in July after a bombshell royal biography claimed she spoke disparagingly about the relationship of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Hussey is a close friend of Charles and was made godmother to Prince William in 1982. She was married to the former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the BBC Marmaduke Hussey and was portrayed by Haydn Gwynne in the fifth season of The Crown....

So it should come as no surprise that the group has reacted loudly to the May 2 episode of “Dawson’s Creek,” in which gay high-school senior Jack (Kerr Smith) took a male date to the prom-and got an on-camera kiss at the end of the night.

The propaganda appeared outside homes in the Newport Heights community of Newport Beach on Sunday. The fliers from the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan contained racist imagery and rhetoric, including a hooded klansman riding a horse while holding a burning cross. The fliers also contained slogans such as “it’s OK to be white” and urging people to “say no to cultural genocide.” “To think that there are people in our neighborhood that are not only maybe even secretly in support of it, but obviously openly supporting a group like this is hard for me to reconcile as an American and a human,” Olivia Slutzky, whose husband found one of the KKK fliers outside their Newport Heights home, told KABC....

The 2017 Malaysia Premier League season completed its match day 18 on Tuesday and with only four more round of matches to go, four teams are within a point of each other as they try to secure promotion to the 2018 Super League.

Carlo Ancelotti was sacked as Bayern head coach following an underwhelming start to the season which culminated in a 3-0 Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds’ unexpected run to Kiev sees them square off against a battle-hardened Real Madrid side seeking a third straight European triumph.

Are we back in Monty Python land? We wish. “A Knight’s Tale,” which is about a servant boy named William Thatcher (Aussie heartthrob Heath Ledger) who passes himself off as nobleman Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland, falls in love with a well-born maiden (Shannyn Sossamon) and kicks ass on the European jousting circuit, has none of the Python’s anarchic spirit or wit. Or any real satirical point of view. The rock music is there, like everything else in writer-producer-director Brian Helgeland’s ultracalculated movie, to keep its targeted audience happy....
