New book pushes Harry’s claims William cruelly rebuffed him on day queen died

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:28 GMT

Prince Harry appears to be getting another chance to air his grievances about being “kept in the dark” about Queen Elizabeth II’s failing health on the day she died and about how his brother, Prince William, apparently prevented him from joining him and other royal relatives on a flight to Balmoral Castle to pay their last respects.This opportunity for Harry comes in a new book, “Endgame,” by his biographer Omid Scobie, a portion of which was excerpted in People on Wednesday. The excerpt amplifies claims Harry already made in his memoir “Spare,” which are that his estranged brother refused to respond to his messages about catching a ride to Scotland on Sept. 8, 2022, so that he could see his grandmother before she died.According to Scobie’s excerpt, Harry tried to reach William at least twice via text message. “William ignored him,” a family source told Scobie. “He clearly didn’t want to see his brother.” The book suggests that William...

Timeline: All the times A’s ownership has tried to move out of Oakland

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:28 GMT

Major League Baseball’s team owners voted Thursday morning to approve the A’s plan to leave Oakland behind and head to Las Vegas.That won’t happen immediately, though: Their lease at the Coliseum runs through next season, and the proposed $1.5 billion ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip is not expected to be finished until 2028.There are still contracts to sort out with the construction and operation of the Vegas stadium and a teachers union in Nevada is presenting a two-pronged legal challenge to the funding for that stadium.The vote moves along the A’s relocation but if they stumble further down their path to the desert, it would not be the first time this team has failed in a relocation bid.Here’s a timeline of Oakland’s often tenuous hold on its baseball team:1970: Two years after moving the A’s from Kansas City to Oakland, owner Charlie Finley reportedly talks with Toronto representatives about moving the team to Canada.1975: Finley, the ab...
