EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY BEGS KING CHARLES FOR GRAVE VISIT AS PRINCE WILLIAM STAYS AWAY
Prince Harry’s first stop back in Britain was Windsor Castle — but there was no reunion with his brother. The Duke of Sussex, 40, was quietly granted permission by King Charles to visit the late Queen’s grave on the third anniversary of her death.
Escorted straight from Heathrow, Harry laid a wreath and flowers at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, where Queen Elizabeth II rests alongside Prince Philip, her parents, and Princess Margaret. “This was a highly personal gesture,” one palace aide tells #ShuterScoop. “The King wanted to make sure Harry had access.”
But while Harry honored his grandmother, Prince William was just eight miles away at a Women’s Institute event with Kate Middleton — and made no effort to meet. “The brothers are still oceans apart,” sighs a longtime courtier. “Even grief can’t bridge that divide.”
Harry, who last visited the U.K. in April, is staying for several days of charity work, including the WellChild gala. For now, father and son are finding common ground — but the brotherly rift remains firmly frozen.
EXCLUSIVE: HOWARD STERN FINALLY CONFIRMS RETURN TO SIRIUSXM — WE TOLD YOU FIRST!
Howard Stern ended weeks of speculation Monday with a staged on-air stunt — but #ShuterScoop readers weren’t fooled. Two weeks ago, we told you first that Stern was staying put.
The 71-year-old shock jock kicked off his SiriusXM broadcast with Andy Cohen joking he was taking over, fueling rumors Stern had been axed. “It’s been a surreal morning,” Cohen teased, before introducing his fake “Andy 100” show. Fans panicked — until Stern himself came on, laughing it off.
“I was just sick,” Stern explained, blasting the talk that he’d been fired for being “too woke.” He called the speculation “zero truth” and assured listeners he remains “very happy at Sirius.”
While others bought the rumor mill, #ShuterScoop subscribers can smile — we had the scoop locked down before Howard even cracked the mic.
EXCLUSIVE: HUGH JACKMAN HITS ROUGH PATCH WITH SUTTON FOSTER — “HE BLEW UP HIS LIFE AND NOW HE REGRETS IT,” SAYS INSIDER
Hollywood’s golden boy is rethinking everything. Sources tell #ShuterScoop that Hugh Jackman’s romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster has hit serious turbulence — leaving him questioning if he made a huge mistake.
“He blew up his life for her — his marriage, his family, his stability,” one close friend reveals. “Now he’s sitting in the wreckage wondering if it was worth it.”
#ShuterScoop was first to report Jackman’s split from Deborra-Lee Furness after he fell for Foster during their Music Man run on Broadway. At the time, insiders described it as Hugh’s “fresh start.” But nearly two years later, that spark is dimming.
“He thought Sutton was the next chapter, but it’s not what he imagined,” says another insider. “There’s tension, distance, and a lot of regret.”
Friends say Jackman, 56, is opening up privately about feeling lonely and disillusioned. “He expected romance and renewal,” a pal notes. “Instead, it feels like heartbreak all over again.”
EXCLUSIVE: BETHENNY FRANKEL SHUNNED BY FLORIDA’S SOCIALITE SCENE — “TOO LOUD, TOO LIBERAL, TOO REALITY”
Bethenny Frankel may be queen of New York reality TV, but in Palm Beach she’s being frozen out. Sources tell #ShuterScoop the outspoken star has been snubbed by Florida’s elite social set — with Ivanka Trump leading the charge.
“Ivanka runs Florida now, and she wants nothing to do with Bethenny,” one society insider says. “Bethenny thinks she’s the boss in Manhattan, but down here, she’s just noise.”
Bethenny’s no-filter politics have also rubbed conservatives the wrong way. “She’s too loud, too liberal, too reality,” a source close to the Trump orbit says. “Ivanka’s world is polished and poised — Bethenny’s isn’t.”
Still, Frankel won’t be silenced. “She doesn’t need Palm Beach’s approval,” one friend insists. “Bethenny’s making a difference and making headlines — and that’s enough for her.”
