Harry and Meghan’s biographer takes aim at ‘power-hungry’ William, ‘unpopular’ Charles

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:53:03 GMT

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have publicly retreated from attacking the British royal family after apparently realizing that the British and American public have become tired of hearing them “whinge,” as the English say. But the California-based Duke and Duchess of Sussex still have their proxies putting forth the idea that they were badly mistreated by the monarchy and that only their star power could have helped an antiquated institution stay relevant in the 21st century.One of those proxies has long been biographer Omid Scobie. Described as the Sussexes’ “mouthpiece,” and even as Meghan’s “lapdog,” the royal author has ramped up promotion for what he promises is a scathing new book about the royal family, which will offer an “explosive” and “penetrative investigation into the current state of the British monarchy,” The Telegraph reported.The description for Scobie’s “Endgame” brands Charle...

Jaguars and pass rusher Josh Allen have a starting point for pending contract negotiations

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:53:03 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars and pass rusher Josh Allen have a starting point for contract negotiations.With Montez Sweat signing a four-year, $98 million extension with the Chicago Bears last week, that deal should provide a baseline — maybe even a blueprint — for Allen and the Jaguars moving forward.Allen ranks fifth in the NFL with nine sacks through eight games, putting up career numbers in a contract year. He’s been one of the many bright spots for the streaking Jaguars (6-2) through the first half of the season.Although some would argue that making Allen one of the NFL’s highest-paid edge rushers is risky considering he had 17 sacks over his previous three seasons, Jacksonville can’t afford to let him go.Not only has Allen been the team’s top defender in back-to-back years, signing draft picks to second contracts has been one of the small-market franchise’s biggest front-office failures over the past decade.Only 10 of the 76 draft picks betwee...
