Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:36:43 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry ’s lawsuit accusing the publisher of The Sun tabloid of unlawfully snooping on him can go to trial, but not on allegations of phone hacking, a High Court judge ruled Thursday.The case also cannot deal with a claim that newspaper executives made a secret settlement pact with the royal family, the judge ruled.The Duke of Sussex alleged the publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World hacked his phone, employed investigators and used deception to unlawfully gather information on him dating back two decades.News Group Newspapers (NGN), which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, argued that the suit should be thrown out because the claims were brought after the six-year limitation to do so expired.Justice Timothy Fancourt said Harry was well enough aware of a phone hacking scandal that roiled Britain more than a decade ago that he could have brought his own case sooner. But the younger son of King Charles III can proceed on allegations about other unlawful...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:36:43 GMT

Michelle Myers | (TNS) The Philadelphia InquirerWhen I think about my mami, 2,779 miles away in Ecuador, the kitchen is the last place I imagine her. Her petite frame, dressed in elegant tailor-made suits and stiletto heels, has never screamed “homemaker.” Yet, one of her recipes managed to sneak into every important moment of our lives: homemade raspberry ice cream.Baking and cooking were not common activities in my home, but when I was assigned to bring a homemade dessert to school in seventh grade, mom had to find a way to make it happen.After getting home from work at 9 p.m., she decided to make a strawberry mousse, but Murphy’s law was at play: Everything that could go wrong, did. First, we didn’t have enough strawberries. We also only had evaporated milk, not the called-for heavy cream. And our rarely used mixer decided it was a great time to break down and constantly shut on and off.With time running out, we didn’t have many options. I turned to mom looking for an answer. Bef...

FOXBORO — Patriots defensive tackle Lawrence Guy is present for training camp, which is an upgrade from his minicamp status.But it seems the issues that kept Guy out of mandatory minicamp aren’t quite resolved. Guy’s absence was believed to be a contract issue, ESPN reported in June.“Me and my agent have been in discussions with this organization and we’re gonna keep that private between us,” Guy said Thursday after Day 2 of training camp.Guy said he welcomed a child around minicamp and “we had things we had to deal with.”“We’re big on family, and we had to handle certain things,” Guys said. “We’re going to leave it at that.”Guy wouldn’t say whether his presence at training camp meant that he was confident that his contract would be amended. The 6-foot-4, 315-pound defensive tackle still has two years and $6 million left on his deal.“I’m here. A big smile on my face,” Guy said. “I’m going to do whatever I can for the organization. I’ll work as hard as I can. That’s why we play...
