Prince William is said to be struggling under mounting pressure as explosive allegations about his late mother, Princess Diana, threaten to deepen divisions within the royal family – with his estranged brother Prince Harry’s relationship with their uncle adding to the turmoil.

Royal sources have told THE VAULT the Prince of Wales, 44, is increasingly distressed following the publication of Earl Charles Spencer’s memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which contains damaging claims about King Charles, 77, and his reaction to Diana’s death in 1997.

The controversy comes amid the monarch’s continuing cancer treatment and Harry’s return to Britain with his wife Meghan Markle, 45, placing further strain on an already fractured family.

Erika Kirk has preserved the office of her murdered husband, Charlie Kirk, as a shrine to his memory – refusing to take over his desk despite succeeding him as chief executive of the conservative organization he founded.

The 37-year-old widow has maintained the workspace at Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, following the assassination of the 31-year-old political activist in September 2025.

Rather than establish an office of her own, Kirk works from a couch near her
husband’s desk, surrounded by reminders of his life and career.

The extraordinary arrangement emerged during a visit to the organization’s headquarters, where the couple’s young son climbed into his father’s chair,
prompting an emotional reaction from his mother.

Kirk said: “No one has sat there since Charlie,” before admitting she makes an exception for her and Charlie’s son, adding: “Only Mac can sit there.”

Prince Harry is said to be furious over Prince William’s potential plan to restore Princess Diana’s HRH style – believing his brother could outdo his own tribute by delivering something permanent for their mother.

The Duke of Sussex, 42, is exploring projects to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death in August 2027, including a possible documentary, while William, 44, is said to be considering whether his mother could posthumously regain the HRH style she lost following her 1996 divorce from the future King Charles III, 77.

No such plan has been officially announced.

Princess Diana survived a terrifying train crash that left her bleeding from a head wound two decades before the Paris collision that killed her – an ordeal we can reveal is being described by those familiar with the episode as a tragic foreshadowing of her death.

Twenty-four people were injured in the collision, which happened weeks after Diana first met her future husband, the then-Prince Charles, 29, who was dating her older sister Sarah.

Dolly Parton’s “arms dealer” nephew is being accused of plotting to release a tell-all assault on the country legend as an extraordinary family dispute spills into court.

Parton, who died aged 80 on August 25, employed Bryan Seaver as head of security at her properties for more than 20 years.

Seaver, who personally announced the Jolene singer’s death online at her request, has since been fired and is facing legal action from She’s Alive, LLC, the company entrusted with protecting Parton’s professional interests.

A Nashville court granted a temporary restraining order on Tuesday, September 22, against Seaver.

Tony Iommi has revealed why Black Sabbath’s “lost” final album never happened, after turning down a chance to reunite the band’s original lineup in the studio one last time before Ozzy Osbourne’s death.

The guitarist, 78, said producer Andrew Watt had been eager to record Iommi, Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward together again.

Watt had already worked with Osbourne on his final solo albums, Ordinary Man and Patient Number 9, but his hopes of producing another Sabbath record ultimately came to nothing.

It was confirmed on Monday that Gerber died at a rehabilitation center after struggling with addiction for years.

His cause of death has not been disclosed, and there is no established evidence that ibogaine played any role in his death.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have pulled their children out of their new British school just two days into the term after their security team raised “genuine” concerns about their safety, sources have exclusively told THE VAULT.

Harry, who turned 42 today, and his wife Meghan, 45, are understood to have moved Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to another school after concluding heavy traffic and the practical demands of traveling in a security convoy made the original school run difficult – and amid warnings they were “sitting ducks” for potential terror or kidnapping plots.

The upheaval comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex face a government-backed review of their security arrangements following their return to Britain.

Donald Trump’s legal setback in his long-running war with Letitia James is even more stinging than first revealed, with the federal appeals court warning the government’s position could allow presidents to install “virtually anyone” in powerful acting roles.

The Second Circuit upheld a lower court decision killing grand jury subpoenas demanding documents from the New York Attorney General’s investigations into Trump and the National Rifle Association.

The subpoenas were obtained by John A. Sarcone III, who identified himself as Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York despite his previous 120-day interim term having expired.

Now, THE VAULT has obtained the full 39-page appellate opinion – revealing the judges’ blistering reasoning for finding Sarcone was not lawfully serving as Acting U.S. Attorney and rejecting the government’s attempts to preserve his authority.

Dolly Parton kept her cancer battle secret because she could not bear the thought of leaving her millions of fans and extended family frightened or upset.

The country music legend died aged 80 last month following what her representatives described as a “brief battle” with cancer.

But Parton deliberately kept the diagnosis intensely private – with even some relatives unaware she was ill – before dying surrounded by loved ones at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.

Pete Hegseth is facing fresh pressure over the escalating turmoil at Stars and Stripes, with two U.S. senators demanding answers about the Pentagon’s involvement in the military newspaper’s leadership amid an explosive legal battle over its editorial independence.

Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal fired off a letter to the Defense Secretary raising concerns about what they called the “degradation of the longstanding editorial independence of Stars and Stripes.”

The August 20 letter centers on the Pentagon’s decision to assign an active-duty Public Affairs officer to serve as a “deputy” to longtime publisher Max Lederer – reportedly without consulting him.

And it comes as Lederer, Editor-in-Chief Erik Slavin and reporter Lara Korte wage a bitter federal court battle over proposed personnel actions that they claim amount to retaliation for defending the newspaper’s independence.

All three had been placed on paid administrative leave amid the escalating dispute.

Paltrow, 53, met Pitt, 62, on the set of Se7en in 1994, when she was about 22, and he was 31.

Donald Trump’s bitter Kennedy Center war has taken another explosive turn, with lawyers accusing officials of using a “stacked deck” to push through a two-year shutdown of the iconic venue while allegedly keeping board members in the dark.

The allegations come as the Center is already engulfed in a separate battle over plans to put Trump’s name back on the building – and fears its previous installation may have damaged the historic marble façade.

Officials acknowledged scaffolding used to remove Trump’s name remains in place amid “reported panel damage,” although the government filing does not say Trump’s name caused the damage.

But a 26-page federal court filing obtained by THE VAULT reveals the fight goes much deeper, with Rep. Joyce Beatty’s legal team now taking aim at how the Kennedy Center Board reached its latest decision to shut the main building for two years.

Donald Trump’s administration is trying to kill ABC’s blockbuster lawsuit against the FCC – but the network’s original court filing lays out an extraordinary trail of threats it claims proves the fight is really about silencing unfavorable coverage.

Government lawyers have asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, arguing ABC cannot prove retaliation triggered an unusual early review of eight ABC-owned stations’ broadcast licenses.

The FCC insists the review stems from Disney’s allegedly “deficient and nonresponsive” cooperation with an investigation into its employment practices – not the network’s programming or its clashes with Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

But ABC tells a dramatically different story in its 46-page complaint, accusing the administration of using the FCC’s regulatory muscle to punish a network whose coverage and programming Trump dislikes.
