Prince William and Harry ‘drew the line’ at public tributes to Princess Diana in 2007
Today is the 26th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, who sadly died at the age of 36 in Paris in 1997.
Grant Harrold, who spent seven years working for King Charles when he was the Prince of Wales, spoke out about his recollections of the King, Prince Harry, and Prince William.
The butler explained why the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex did not release a joint statement on the 25th anniversary of their mother’s death last year.
Mr Harrold said: “I was 18 when she died. I remember it so clearly. I couldn’t sleep and it was five in the morning when I heard she had died.
“I remember the 10th anniversary of her death as it was when I was working for the King. There was a big party to mark her anniversary.
“William and Harry were working on that, and they said that it would be the last time they would publicly do something to remember her death.
“The first couple of years after she died, there were tributes to remember her. But that’s when they drew the line. Every now and then, they do share a story.
“But as far as remembering her on her anniversary goes, that is now done privately. And they said that would be the case in 2007.”
Mr Harrold shared his standout memories of the late Princess of Wales: “Well, I was lucky enough to go on the Britannia when I was working with the King.
“I remember that iconic image of Diana and her boys. I was based at Highgrove, and there are images of her in the sundial garden and it’s still there to this day.
“I remember looking at it and thinking, ‘Wow she sat there’, So, although I never met her or knew her, I still felt connected to her.
“I joined seven years after she died. Seven years is a long time, but in the grand scheme of things, it actually isn’t, and when I joined it was as if she was still very much there.”
Mr Harrold explained what William and Harry were like growing up: “I mainly worked with them when they were approaching their late teenage years and twenties.
“I liked the way they got on with each other. They were always having fun together and having banter. They played practical jokes and wound each other up, but it was harmless.
“They were best friends and they had the same friends, too. You’d see them in the pubs together. It was a great time for them. I remember going to the pub to meet them once.
“When I arrived, they called my name, I turned around and they were behind me. They were both very sociable boys. And that’s what’s so sad about it now, how they’ve gone from best of friends to non-existent really.
“They have become so distant. I know quite a few of Harry’s friends, who don’t hear from him at all now either.”
Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, dubbed the “anti-ageing millionaire”, has been accused of using nondisclosure agreements to silence employees at his startup Blueprint about his bizarre behaviour.
Under the agreement, the workers had to attest that they were okay with him wearing “little and sometimes no clothing/no underwear” and with hearing “discussions of sexual activities, including erections”, according to a New York Times report, which was published last week, nearly a month after Mr Johnson accused the American newspaper of preparing to publish a “hit piece” about him.
The workers also had to agree that the 47-year-old’s behaviour was not “unwelcome, offensive, humiliating, hostile, triggering, unprofessional or abusive”, the report said.
Mr Johnson, however, said last month the opt-in agreement was “fair to all concerned and is in everyone’s best interest.”
What NYT Report Said About Bryan Johnson
The report said the Blueprint employment agreement with confidentiality terms was 20 pages long and included dozens of restrictions.
The 20-page agreement said the workers must keep confidential “any nonpublic information regarding Bryan’s home, office, personal effects in his home or office, any spaces rented or owned by Bryan, any vehicles/planes/automobiles/boats/other methods of transportation that are not publicly accessible, or areas of his home or such space that are not publicly accessible”.
Bryan Johnson frequently walked around with “little clothing” on and sometimes flirted with Blueprint’s largely female staff, the news outlet, which interviewed 30 people, said. But because of the opt-in agreement, no one was able to complain.
He also made millions from selling his payments firm Braintree to PayPal in 2013, and started investing the amount in his anti-ageing experiments. He then divorced his wife, hired prostitutes and took drugs like acid, Ibogaine and DMT, the report said.
What Bryan Johnson Said On NYT Report
Bryan Johnson, whose “Project Blueprint” inspired the Netflix documentary “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever”, said the New York Times “tried to come” for him but “missed”.
“What was meant to be a takedown ended up reading like a profile piece,” he posted on X on Friday, hours after the report was published.
“They spent a year digging, talked to 30 people, including former fired employees, propped up my ex as their star witness (who tried to extract $9 million from me and failed) And still came up empty. It was only by contorting and twisting facts to fit a narrative that they barely had enough to publish,” he said as he “thanked” NYT for the coverage.
The New York Times tried to come for me and missed.

Last month, Mr Johnson also publicly responded to the “fact-checking” questions that were mailed to him by the NYT reporter before publishing the story.
Speaking about the opt-in agreement at Blueprint, he said, “I post nudes on social media. I track my nighttime erections. My team openly discusses my semen health. We make dank memes. Rather than letting people walk in blind, we disclose this upfront, in writing, so there are no surprises.”
“This isn’t coercion; it’s transparency. This practice is fair to all concerned and is in everyone’s best interest. If someone doesn’t align with our culture, they are free to work elsewhere. No one is forced to sign anything. The opt-in agreement exists to ensure that people understand and consent to the environment. It eliminates ambiguity and prevents misunderstandings,” he added.
Question:
“My reporting shows that you have used confidentiality agreements extensively in your personal life and also at your businesses, with at least more than two dozen people over the last ten years. The agreements I have seen over the years have grown to be much longer and…— Bryan Johnson (@bryan_johnson) February 24, 2025
Mr Johnson, who reportedly spends $2 million every year to reverse his age, also said the confidentiality agreements are “standard and normal”.
“I would be surprised if you didn’t sign one as a condition of employment at The New York Times. On a personal level, my life is under constant scrutiny. These agreements try to create clear boundaries and expectations, so that trust isn’t left to chance,” he said.
“Over time, our agreements have evolved, just like everything else I iterate & improve upon. The goal is precision. Clarity eliminates confusion. People know where they stand, and that’s a win for everyone,” Mr Johnson added.
New Delhi:
A Wisconsin man who voted for President Donald Trump says he does not regret his decision, even after federal immigration authorities arrested his wife upon their return from their honeymoon.
Bradley Bartell’s wife, Camila Munoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her visa but was working toward obtaining permanent residency in the US. Despite their ordeal, Mr Bartell still supports Trump, who has pledged the largest mass deportation effort in US history. “I don’t regret the vote,” Mr Bartell told Newsweek.
“He didn’t create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is,” he said.
Ms Munoz arrived in Wisconsin Dells in 2019 on a work-study visa, which expired as COVID-19 halted international travel. She worked in farming and hospitality, where she met Mr Bartell.
After initially losing his phone number, she later reconnected with him on Facebook, and they began a serious relationship. The couple eventually married but delayed their honeymoon due to the pandemic.
In February, they travelled to Puerto Rico for a long-overdue honeymoon. Upon returning, immigration agents questioned Ms Munoz about her citizenship status. When she explained that she was in the process of obtaining a green card, she was detained. She is now held in an ICE facility in Louisiana.
Speaking to Newsweek, Mr Bartell described the distress of witnessing his wife’s detention. “It’s all been a nightmare, really,” he said. “We have an attorney. The system is very inefficient, so it is taking longer than it should.”
Since sharing his story, Mr Bartell has faced backlash. “I’ve received a lot of hateful messages, plenty of people saying we deserve this. And a lot of other insults,” he said.
Donald Trump has vowed to carry out large-scale deportations of undocumented migrants, particularly those with criminal records. Growing concerns suggest that enforcement efforts are targeting individuals beyond the “worst first” approach Trump originally promised.
ICE agents have detained nonviolent offenders and legal residents as part of Trump’s deportation plans, and the White House maintains that anyone in the country illegally is considered a criminal.
Mr Bartell has criticized ICE, calling for reform. “ICE never really has any information, it seems. The system needs to be revamped for better processes and communication between departments.” He also admitted that he has considered moving to Peru if his wife is deported. “It has crossed my mind, but it would be very difficult for my son,” he said.
Mr Bartell is not the only Trump supporter affected by the administration’s immigration policies. On March 8, Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, was detained at his home in a Columbia University-owned building in front of his pregnant wife. Mr Khalil, known for his involvement in campus protests, is also being held in a Louisiana detention centre.
Since January, the US has deported 388 Indian nationals, the government told Parliament on Friday. Of them, 333 were flown back on three military flights in February.

SRH vs RR LIVE: Favourites off the mark
Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the favourites to go the distance in IPL 2025, and they’ve shown today exactly why. New buy Ishan Kishan led the way with 106*, and SRH will hope his injury isn’t too bad. Excellent contributions by Head, Abhishek, Klaasen and Reddy too. The power-packed batting did its job today.
19:31 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: VICTORY FOR SRH
GAME OVER. Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs. A stunning display of power-hitting with the bat laid the foundation. RR gave it a go, thanks largely to Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel, but never looked like they could really win.
RR 242/6 (20)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Harshal gets another wicket!
Harshal Patel took the wicket of Sanju Samson earlier, and now adds Shimron Hetmyer to that tally. He has bowled well in the death overs, at a decent economy as well, in a very high-scoring encounter.
RR 241/6 (19.5)
19:25 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: SRH win?
Rajasthan Royals slam 15 runs off the 19th over, but SRH have mathematically won this game if they bowl legal deliveries in all the remaining balls. RR have given it a good go after losing many early wickets, but they’ll fall short comfortably in the end.
RR 232/5 (19)
19:18 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Ishan Kishan looks in pain
Ishan Kishan looks to be in a lot of pain. He is receiving treatment off the field, on the edge of the boundary. He slammed an incredible century earlier today. An injury to him would be dreadful news for the Sunrisers.
19:16 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Hetmyer to the party
Another expensive over! Adam Zampa goes for 22 in the over. Six and a four each for Hetmeyer and Dubey. Ishan Kishan is hurt! Oh no. The century star is hobbling and goes off the field. This could be a big worry for SRH.
RR 217/5 (18)
19:14 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Wow, Shubham Dubey!
Shubham Dubey is on fire! The left-hander is playing an incredible cameo, and has slammed Pat Cummins for two sixes in a row. Poor spell by the Australian, who has given away 45 runs in 3 overs. Three sixes in total in that over.
Even if they don’t win, these hits will do RR a world of good.
RR 195/5 (17)
19:08 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Great over by Harshal
Harshal Patel bowls an excellent over. Concedes just 4 runs in the 16th. RR need a massive 114 runs in four overs. Seems like they’re on the verge of giving up.

19:02 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Next to impossible now
Rajasthan Royals need a massive 118 runs in 30 balls. Required run-rate nearly 24. 5-down, Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey are the only two recognized batters remaining for the men in pink. Sunrisers Hyderabad are motoring towards victory in their first game of IPL 2025.
RR 169/5 (15)
18:59 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: JUREL OUT!
That could be game over! Dhruv Jurel has to go for the big hits, but doesn’t get the perfect connection this time. Finds Ishan Kishan at deep mid-wicket. That’s the end of a fine knock by Jurel, but Rajasthan Royals might be done now. First wicket for Adam Zampa.
RR 161/5 (14.2)
18:57 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: SAMSON DEPARTS!
Huge wicket. Huge wicket for SRH, and could that be the death knell for Rajasthan Royals. Right after hitting a six, Samson tries to go for another biggie. Mistimes it on this occasion, top edge, Heinrich Klaasen takes the catch.
Samson departs for 66 off 37. RR now need 21 runs per over.
RR 161/4 (14)
18:50 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 4 SIXES IN THE OVER
Another SIX off Dhruv Jurel’s blade. Classy, this one. Impeccable timing, impeccable power. In the slot, Jurel hits it clean over long-on. Two balls later, Samson hits another six. 26 runs off Simarjeet Singh’s over. Much-needed for RR. 100-run partnership, and 150 up.
RR 151/3 (13)
18:47 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 50 for Jurel!
50 for Dhruv Jurel, and with a magnificent shot. Freebie by Simarjeet, Jurel once again hits it handsomely over the extra cover region. Next ball, goes for another 6! RR slightly fighting back, they need a lot more of this.
RR 139/3 (12.3)
18:45 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Another poor over for RR
Another weak over for Rajasthan Royals. Just 3 runs off the 12th over. 7 runs in the last 12 balls. Required run-rate is above 20 now for RR. Jurel has still not reached his half-century. He was 44 off 17, but has scored only five runs in his next 10 balls.
RR 125/3 (12)
18:43 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Shami drops a sitter!
Sanju Samson did not time it well, flicked it towards short fine leg, but Shami has put it down. Wasn’t a particularly difficult catch, but caught Shami by surprise. He’s hurt his fingers here, seems to have some bleeding. Let’s hope it isn’t a big injury. He has left the field for some treatment.
RR 125/3 (11.5)
18:40 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Top stuff from Zampa
Just 4 runs off the 11th over. After being hammered for 14 in his first over, Zampa comes back strong. RR cannot afford such low-scoring overs. The required run rate keeps climbing, nearly 19 per over now.
RR 122/3 (11)
18:34 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 50 for Samson
50 for Sanju Samson! Pressure game, big task, the captain steps up from the front. Not at his fittest, but he’s come on as an Impact Player and made his presence felt. 26-ball half-century for him. He’s set the foundation.
RR 118/3 (10)
18:32 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Jurel playing a gem!
Yet more runs for Dhruv Jurel. Abhishek pitches it down the leg side, Jurel sweeps over the fielder at short fine leg, picks up another 4. 12 off the over, but RR’s required rate is now nearly 17 per over. Many big hits needed still.
RR 108/3 (9)
18:29 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 100 up for RR
100 up for Rajasthan Royals! Comes with a huge six of Dhruv Jurel, as he clears the ropes over extra cover. Abhishek Sharma is back in for a second over, and Jurel greets him with a powerful shot. A lot of responsibility on Jurel, who was retained for a big sum of Rs 14 crore by RR.
RR 103/3 (8.3)
18:26 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX MORE!
Zampa tosses one up, Sanju Samson hits it sweet and into the stands. Into the 40s now. The RR captain needs to play the innings of his life here, to take his team to victory today. 43 off 20 is a good start for him.
RR 91/3 (7.4)
18:24 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: The equation
205 runs needed off 78 balls, as things stand. Required run rate: 15.77. Many, many big hits needed if RR are to pull off an unlikely chase. SRH bring on an impact sub, as Adam Zampa comes on for Travis Head.
RR 82/3 (7)
18:21 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Great over by Abhishek
Abhishek Sharma introduced into the attack for the first over after the powerplay, and bowls a really neat one. Only 5 runs off it, with one boundary. Rajasthan Royals are in the hunt as long as Samson and Jurel are at the crease.
RR 82/3 (7)
18:16 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 77 in the powerplay
Good powerplay for Rajasthan, in terms of runs scored! 20 runs off Cummins’ first over. Not quite the 94 that SRH managed, but RR have begun with a good run-rate. Their big worry is that they’ve lost 3 wickets. A huge partnership is necessary.
RR 77/3 (6)
18:13 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Massive SIX
6, 4, 4! Dhruv Jurel welcomes Pat Cummins with a huge hit. In the slot, and Jurel hits it incredibly over long on. Next ball, Jurel flicks it away for 4! Third one, down the ground for another boundary.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Nitish Reddy is off the field and is being attended by physios. Slight injury scare for SRH.
RR 71/3 (5.3)
18:06 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!
Another batter departs! Mohammed Shami strikes now. First wicket in orange for the experienced India pacer. Rana tries to go big, horribly mistimes it, sends it straight up. It goes high, and it’s an easy catch for Pat Cummins.
RR 50/3 (4.1)
18:05 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Samson on the charge
As long as Sanju Samson is there, RR will have hope! He’s made a wonderful start here. 28 off 10 balls! 4, 6, 4 off Simarjeet Singh. Rajasthan Royals pick up 15 off the over, 50 up in 4 overs. They need to build on this momentum.
RR 50/2 (4)
17:58 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, Rana!
Good inswinger by Shami, Nitish Rana tries to block, gets a thick outside edge and it runs away for 4 through third man. Finds exactly the gap between first slip and the short-third fielder. RR need plenty more runs, and a big partnership.
RR 33/2 (2.4)
17:54 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Parag GONE, Simarjeet again!
ONE MORE! Rajasthan Royals are falling apart, Simarjeet Singh has taken two wickets in one over. Utterly incredible scenes here. Riyan Parag slammed a boundary in his first ball, and then completely mistimes the next one. Going for a big one, top edge and an easy catch for Pat Cummins.
RR 24/2 (1.5)
17:51 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Jaiswal GONE!
SIMARJEET STRIKES! Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to walk back for just 1. Tries to cut hard, Abhinav Manohar takes a superb jumping catch at backward point. RR suffer a huge blow, and it is the dangerous Jaiswal who departs.
RR 20/1 (1.3)
17:50 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Samson goes BANG
6, 4, 4! Sanju Samson is off the mark in style. Breaks loose against Mohammed Shami, RR have piled up 16 in the first over. This is the perfect star, but they need a lot, lot more of this. Simarjeet Singh will bowl the next over.
RR 16/0 (1)
17:47 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Here comes Samson!
As expected, Sanju Samson has opened the batting with Yashasvi Jaiswal. RR’s original captain enters as the Impact Player. Great start, smashes a 6 off Mohammed Shami in the first over. Pitched short, hooked away for a maximum.
RR 8/0 (0.4)
17:41 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Samson expected to enter
Sanju Samson is set to bat in the second innings. His captaincy was missed out on the pitch by RR, but can he ease the pain with a fiery knock with the bat? Him and Jaiswal will need to make a bulk of the runs.
17:38 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Stunning batting
Ishan Kishan was expected to strengthen an already incredible batting lineup, and he’s made his mark straight away. Ignored by India, dropped from central contract, could this be his season to make his way back into national selection? Wow, what a knock.
17:33 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Highest IPL totals
Highest totals in IPL history:
SRH – 287/3 vs RCB (2024)

Ohhhh, SRH have missed out on the IPL record total by just 2 runs! Ishan Kishan ends unbeaten, on a stunning 106 off just 47 balls. 13 runs off the final over. What an incredible display of power-hitting. The men in orange have delivered, and in style.
SRH 286/6 (20)
17:25 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Deshpande on a hattrick!
Sunrisers Hyderabad are only 9 runs away from the IPL record total, but things have gone a little bit awry here. Two wickets in two balls for Tushar Deshpande in the final over. Aniket Verma and Abhinav Manohar depart in consecutive balls.
SRH 279/6 (19.3)
17:24 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: CENTURY ISHAN KISHAN
ISHAN KISHAN, you beauty! What a stunning century on his debut for SRH. 6, 6, 2 to get to the landmark. A ton in just 45 balls for the stylish left-hander. A knock of high, high class. Rs 11.25 crore, worth its weight in gold.
SRH 273/4 (19)
17:20 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: OUT!
Heinrich Klaasen is gone. Sandeep Sharma strikes in his last over. The South African marauder has done his job, and taken SRH towards that 300-run mark. 34 off 14 balls, job well done. Ishan Kishan now needs his century.
SRH 258/4 (18.2)
17:17 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Huge unwanted record for Archer
4-0-76-0! Jofra Archer has conceded the most runs ever by a bowler in a single spell in IPL history. Bought for a whopping Rs 12.50 crore by RR, and it has been a disastrous start for the English pacer.
