When Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and his wife of two years, Meghan, stepped down from their senior royal duties and moved to Los Angeles to live a “financially independent” life this year, his father was still reportedly eager to provide them with some funds. He was no less generous when they were still living in the UK. Prince Charles spent up to £5.6 million ($7.1 million) last year to support his two grown-up sons, Princes William and Harry, as well as their wives, the annual review from Clarence House, Prince Charles’s official London residence, revealed.

On Monday, police were called to Smith’s house where the coach, described by former players as an “amazing mentor” and friend, was discovered murdered in his den with gunshot wounds. Surveillance from a neighbor’s home showed that Alexander […]

After the NBA suspended all playoff games on Wednesday night following a protest walkout by the Milwaukee Bucks over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Charles Barkley shared his uncensored reaction on CNN. The former basketball star and current co-host of TNT’s Inside the NBA said the Bucks “deserve a lot of credit” for their “courageous” act of refusing to play, but his biggest question is what comes next. “What is their next game plan?” he asked. “They canceled the games for today. I think that puts tremendous pressure on the players not to play tomorrow also. So are they boycotting […]
For The Daily Beast’s membership drive, we’re asking our reporters and editors to tell the stories behind some of their biggest stories. While the working life of my hard-bitten colleagues at The Daily Beast involves a punishing regimen of worn shoe leather, lightning-fast shorthand and an easy facility with navigating the murkier corners of the dark web, my working life is rather different. My best scoops all seem to come from country house dinner parties, shooting weekends and my network of family, friends, and old school and university friends. I’m sorry, but it’s true. When I look back at the last […]

Prince Charles had an unusual experience outside the Asda Distribution Centre in Bristol. Footage posted online shows the Prince of Wales, 71, speaking to an employee, who looks cheerful at first, but then he starts to stagger and fall to the ground. The prince looks stunned for a few seconds but then checks to see if the employee is okay, as staff rushes […]

Watching Trump’s hate-filled presidency—preventable mass death, raging indecency, and incitement of violence—has been a reality check. Trump’s deadly pandemic neglect and his project of disunion in America are treason metastasized yet again in an America that exists halfway between Jefferson Davis and George Wallace. In a devastating rebuke on Twitter, Trump was recently asked to pick a flag: Old Glory or the Stars and Bars—the “very fine people” whose bigoted […]

Since the onset of the wave of Black Lives Matters protests, numerous monuments to historic figures proclaimed “racists” and “slave traders” have been vandalised or demolished across Europe. In a new twist to the crusade against undesirable monuments sweeping Europe, a case for removing the statues of one of Sweden’s arguably best-known kings and replacing him with teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg was made. Citing riots in the US, former city director Jan Björinge has called to remove “autocrat ruler” Charles XII and replace him with climate activist Greta Thunberg. This, he argued, would contribute to a “more humane and more […]

A high token price gives a project crucial staying power, believes the CEO of IOHK, Charles Hoskinson. Mention token price in the company of developers and many will hold their noses. In a lunch interview with the Financial Times back in 2018, Ethereum’s creator Vitalik Buterin said that he felt an obsession with price had muddied the waters around cryptocurrencies and created the wrong incentives. “The idealistic early coders, who wanted blockchain to transfer power from corporations and governments to individuals, last year started getting overtaken by get-rich-quick schemers. Some ICOs were scams. Buterin watched in dismay as his blockchain was […]
A professor at the University of Central Florida faces calls for his removal after claiming in a Twitter rant that “black privilege is real” and insisting that the answer to systematic oppression is to “stay in school” amid nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd. Charles Negy, an associate professor in the Psychology Department, has fired off over 30 contentious tweets about race, inequality, and oppression since May 25—the day Floyd was filmed repeatedly saying he couldn’t breathe while an officer pressed his knee on his neck for several minutes. The controversial tweets, which were sent while thousands of people […]
