They were said to be 'delighted' by the newsThey then teamed up for a coordinated public entrance together, flanked by their respective husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank, in full view of the cameras.The move meant that the pair were far more visible as they were photographed during a long walk up from their drop-off spot instead of being deposited – like all the other royal guests – directly outside the church gate.The wedding was the first occasion where both Beatrice and Eugenie were seen with other members of the Royal Family since the Christmas Day service at Sandringham.Both missed the Easter celebrations and events to celebrate the late Queen Elizabeth's centenary.

Meghan Markle's Stunning Diamond Ring Sparks Speculation About Its Origin

Meghan Markle's Stunning Diamond Ring Sparks Speculation About Its Origin

Meghan Markle’s finally giving fans a close-up look at her new sparkle.The Duchess of Sussex debuted a mysterious (and massive) pear-shaped diamond ring at the One805LIVE! charity concert last September, and later slipped on the same bauble for the NBA All-Star Game in February.And on Sunday, the giant rock was front and center in Markle’s latest As Ever Instagram post, stacked with several other bands on her right-hand ring finger.Meghan Markle’s new pear-shaped diamond ring is front and center in her latest As Ever Instagram post. Instagram/aseverofficialMarkle has worn the ring a few times before, including this past February at the NBA All-Star Game. NBAE via Getty ImagesThe solitaire sparkler features a yellow gold setting, just like the Duchess of Sussex’s engagement ring from Prince Harry. Instagram/aseverofficialRare Carat CEO Ajay Anand told Page Six Style the center stone looks to be around 6 carats.The duchess often opts for lab-grown diamonds, and Anand’s company sells similar gems for between $5,000 and $6,000.If Markle’s diamond is natural, however, her new ring would be worth far more — anywhere from $100,000 to half a million dollars, depending on the quality of the stone.Markle also wore a white linen Reformation top, Posse skirt, tortoiseshell headband and Balenciaga sunglasses in her latest upload. Instagram/aseverofficialHer three-stone engagement ring from Prince Harry includes two diamonds once owned by Princess Diana. Getty Images for the Invictus Games FoundationWhile seemingly not an engagement ring upgrade — the duchess also sported her three-stone sparkler from husband Prince Harry, which features a pair of stones once owned by Princess Diana, at both the benefit concert and the basketball game — it’s possible that this new piece also has a tie to her late mother-in-law.“My first instinct is that the diamond (or gemstone) could be from Diana’s collection,” What Meghan Wore founder Susan Courter wrote on her site, which chronicles Markle’s wardrobe choices.“Perhaps it was once part of a necklace, a pair of earrings, or another piece that was later redesigned into a ring. We’ve seen meaningful stones reimagined before, so it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.” Community GuidelinesWelcome to the Page Six Community!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.

Şamil Tayyar'dan Mehmet Şimşek ile Görüşme: Emekli ve Asgari Ücrete Zam Bekleniyor mu?

AKP'li eski vekil Şamil Tayyar, ekonomi yönetiminin başındaki Mehmet Şimşek ile yaptığı görüşmeyi anlattı. Şimşek'in emekli maaşı ve asgari ücrete zam planı bulunmadığını aktaran Tayyar, alım gücünün artırılmasına yönelik çalışmalar yürütüldüğünü söyledi. AKP'li eski milletvekili Şamil Tayyar, Hazine ve Maliye Bakanı Mehmet Şimşek ile yaptığı görüşmenin detaylarını anlattı.Sosyal medya hesabındaki paylaşımında Tayyar, görüşmeden edindiği izlenime göre hükümetin seçim takvimini normal süreç doğrultusunda planladığını ifade etti.Tayyar, "Uzun sohbetten anladığım, bırakın 2026’yı, 2027’de bile seçim yok. Seçim vaktinde, Nisan 2028’de yapılacakmış gibi politikalar sürdürülüyor. Peki, dar ve sabit gelirli rahat nefes almak için 2028’i mi bekleyecek?" ifadelerini kullandı.'ZAM PLANI YOK'Tayyar, Mehmet Şimşek'in emekli maaşları ve asgari ücrete yönelik seyyanen zam planı bulunmadığını aktardı.Tayyar şu ifadeleri kullandı:"Ücreti, maaşı katlamak, seyyanen artış yapmaktan öte alım gücünü arttırmaya yönelik çalışmalar var.Ağırlıklı olarak hayatı pahalı kılan üç faktör üzerinde duruluyor: Kira, gıda, ulaşım.Bunları ucuzlatmadan gelirdeki görece artışın derde deva olmayacağı düşünülüyor."İstihdam ve finansmana erişimin kolaylaştırılması için desteklerin artırılarak sürdürüleceğini belirten Tayyar, yeni paketlerin de hazırlandığını da sözlerine ekledi.Tayyar'ın paylaşımı şöyle:"Maliye ve Hazine Bakanımız Mehmet Şimşek'le yaptığımız görüşmeye ilişkin fazlaca soru geldi.Mesela, yakında seçim ihtimalini gösteren bir hazırlık var mı?Veya topluma nefes aldıracak düzenlemeler nedir?Bir dizi soru.Uzun sohbetten anladığım, bırakın 2026’yı, 2027’de bile seçim yok.Seçim vaktinde, Nisan 2028’de yapılacakmış gibi politikalar sürdürülüyor.Peki, dar ve sabit gelirli rahat nefes almak için 2028’i mi bekleyecek?Sanıyorum, bu noktada farklı bir anlayış söz konusu.İlk aşamada.Ücreti, maaşı katlamak, seyyanen artış yapmaktan öte alım gücünü arttırmaya yönelik çalışmalar var.Ağırlıklı olarak hayatı pahalı kılan üç faktör üzerinde duruluyor: Kira, gıda, ulaşım.Bunları ucuzlatmadan gelirdeki görece artışın derde deva olmayacağı düşünülüyor.Onun için 750 bin sosyal konut projesi önemli.Gıda tedarik zincirine el atılıyor.Ulaşıma maliyet enflasyonundan fazla zam yapılmasını önlemek için “değerleme oranı” belirlenmesi söz konusu. Bu oranın üzerinde zam yapılamayacak.İstihdam ve finansmana erişimin kolaylaştırması için destek arttırılarak sürdürülecek. Yeni paketler yolda.Gelir tamamlayıcı destek programı (GETAD) son aşamada.Toplumun en dezavantajlı kesimine ilave “aylık” ödenmesi uygulaması, yeni yılda başlayabilir.Bu uygulamadaki ölçek, bayram ikramiyesi gibi bir çok uygulamada devreye sokularak, sadece düşük gelir gruplarına imkan sağlanmasının önü açılabilir.Başka sürpriz?Onlar Cumhurbaşkanımızın inisiyatifinde.Yeni dönem her türlü sürprize açık.Son cümlem:Muhalefet kayıkçı kavgasını sürdürürken, iktidar sağlam bir hazırlık içinde.Tüm ezberler bozulacak gibi." www.sozcu.com.tr internet sitesinde yayınlanan yazı, haber ve fotoğrafların her türlü telif hakkı Mega Ajans ve Rek.

La erupción del volcán de Fuego en Guatemala que nadie esperaba

La erupción del volcán de Fuego en Guatemala que nadie esperaba

Guatemala declaró una alerta de "peligro", el segundo nivel más alto, por una potente erupción del volcán de Fuego, ubicado a 35 kilómetros de la capital, e inició la evacuación de viviendas cercanas.El coloso, considerado el volcán más activo de Centroamérica, entró en fase eruptiva en la mañana del lunes y en la noche aumentó su intensidad con la expulsión de corrientes de lava que descendieron por sus laderas, mientras se levantaron grandes columnas de gases y ceniza. Crédito: AFP Un fotógrafo de la agenciad de noticias AFP observó la potente erupción desde San Juan Alotenango, al este del volcán, zona de menor riesgo adonde están siendo llevados decenas de pobladores de dos caseríos ubicados en las faldas.Camas improvisadas fueron colocadas en el salón comunal del centro de ese municipio para que pasen la noche a la espera de que disminuya la actividad volcánica. Muchos salieron de sus viviendas con solo un puñado de ropa y alimentos."Desde la mañana amaneció activo. Ya en la noche dieron la voz de alerta que había que evacuar", declaró a la agencia AFP Alejandro García, de 68 años, habitante del caserío Santo Domingo El Porvenir. Crédito: AFP La estatal Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres (Conred) declaró la "alerta anaranjada", previa a la roja de emergencia, "a nivel nacional" para que todas las instituciones estatales se preparen en caso de ser necesario.En un video publicado en redes sociales, la vocera de la Conred, Valeria Urízar, hizo un llamado a los pobladores a realizar una "autoevacuación" si "las condiciones representan un riesgo para su vida". Hasta el momento no se ha informado de una cifra de personas evacuadas.El Instituto de Vulcanología (Insivumeh), en su último informe, señaló que continuaba la "fase más intensa de la erupción" y alertó de más deslaves de material ardiente en los flancos sureste, suroeste y sur del volcán. "El incremento en el número y tamaño de estas corrientes" hacia la "base" del volcán "se mantiene como la principal amenaza para las comunidades" cercanas, advirtió. Crédito: AFP Suspenden clasesEl Ministerio de Educación ordenó la suspensión de las clases presenciales en comunidades de tres municipios cercanos al volcán como prevención. En tanto, la policía de tránsito cerró una carretera que rodea el macizo y que conecta la costa sur con la ciudad colonial de Antigua, el principal sitio turístico del país. Los expertos del Insivumeh explicaron que por la erupción también se genera una fuente de lava de 200 a 300 metros de altura sobre el cráter y que la columna de ceniza puede superar los 7.000 metros. Además, avisó sobre la dispersión de ceniza a alturas entre 5,000 a 6,000 metros que se desplazan a distancias hasta 130 kilómetros hacia el oeste, llegando a las costas del Pacífico. Crédito: AFP Las autoridades recomendaron que se tomen "precauciones con el tráfico aéreo", pero hasta ahora no se ve afectado el aeropuerto internacional en Ciudad de Guatemala. Las más recientes fases eruptiva del volcán de Fuego, de 3,763 metros de altura, fueron en febrero pasado y otra en junio de 2025 que obligó a la evacuación de unas 800 personas. Crédito: AFP En 1932 una erupción del volcán de Fuego lanzó cenizas que llegaron a El Salvador (a 125 km de distancia) y Honduras (a 175 km). A 65 km de la capital por carretera, el macizo está situado entre los departamentos de Escuintla, Chimaltenango y Sacatepéquez, vecinos de la provincia de Guatemala, y es uno de los tres volcanes activos de Guatemala, junto al Pacaya (sur) y el Santiaguito (oeste).

Why NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Was Silenced at Fallen Soldier's Ceremony

Why NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Was Silenced at Fallen Soldier's Ceremony

Backlash to Democratic Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani continues well after his election, as more and more residents of the Big Apple realize how bad his policies and approach to governing really are.The latest pushback manifested itself at a ceremony for a U.S. Army soldier killed by an Iranian missile last month.Mamdani reportedly did not speak Friday during the funeral of Army Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad in Queens, one of three U.S. service members killed in Jordan during an Iranian attack on July 17.Mamdani attended the service at a church in Ozone Park but did not deliver remarks honoring Rampersad.According to the New York Post, Mamdani appeared to review prepared remarks on an iPad as other dignitaries addressed the congregation, but he was not called upon to speak.Advertisement A source familiar with the funeral told The Post that Rampersad’s family chose not to have Mayor Zohran Mamdani speak in an effort to avoid what the source described as “political distractions.”Following the service, the mayor’s office released the prepared remarks Mamdani had intended to deliver.“It is often said that our fallen ‘gave their tomorrows for our today,'” Mamdani planned to say.“Sergeant Rampersad had tomorrows waiting for her: birthdays, ordinary mornings, evenings spent with her loved ones,” his remarks continued.“But she gave every one of them up so that we could have ours — so that we could stand here today, safe and protected,” he was to say.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), however, did speak.“I feel after reading and admiring this woman from a distance, I feel like she could be one of my daughters,” Hochul said.Other speakers included Ozone Park Residents Block Association President Sam Esposito, state Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards.The Department of War said Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, was killed in action during an enemy attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.According to U.S. Central Command, Rampersad and two other American service members were killed while U.S. and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks.The other service members killed were identified as 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas.All three were deployed to Jordan in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, the international mission to combat ISIS in Iraq and Syria.Rampersad was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52d Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany.She served as a 25U Signal Operations Support Specialist, according to the Department of War. The family of Army Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad reportedly blocked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from speaking at her funeral to avoid political distractions. Mamdani was frustrated when he realized he would not be called to speak, reportedly glaring at his staff before… pic.twitter.com/GaF8rZkGqd — AF Post (@AFpost) August 2, 2026One person who attended the funeral told the newspaper that the mayor appeared visibly frustrated when it became clear he would not be invited to the podium.“He looked over at his staff, frustrated and seemed angry that he didn’t speak,” the source told the Post.The attendee added that Mamdani eventually realized his name would not be called, looked toward members of his staff and put away the tablet that reportedly contained his prepared remarks.A separate source cited by the newspaper said the decision stemmed from the wishes of Rampersad’s family, describing them as politically conservative and supportive of President Donald Trump.“The family is more conservative and wanted to limit any political distractions,” the source told the Post.Neither Mamdani’s office nor members of the Rampersad family have publicly confirmed the account explaining why the mayor did not speak during the service.Although he did not address mourners, Mamdani’s office later released the remarks he had prepared for the funeral.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Why Ariana Grande's Step Back from the Spotlight Is Turning Heads

Why Ariana Grande's Step Back from the Spotlight Is Turning Heads

Ariana Grande paused her concert Monday night to clarify her plans to temporarily retreat from public life following her “Eternal Sunshine” tour.“Can we get a little real tonight?” the singer asked attendees at her Chicago show, per a video circulating on X.The 33-year-old went on to say during the four-minute speech, which she had written out on her phone, that “the announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing” and had been “blown out of proportion” online.“It is something that I had decided to plan,” the actress added, claiming she made her “thoughtful” and “empowering” decision “quietly, a long time ago.”Ariana Grande broke her silence Monday on her plans to “step back” from the spotlight. juangoesto/TiktokThe singer (pictured above on July 27) called her choice “thoughtful” and “empowering.” Instagram/arianagrandeShe went on to deny speculation that online “negativity is ruining things for” her.“No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will be able to distort my reality or be more real to me … as this love that we share,” Grande insisted, dubbing the tour “one of the most healing, beautiful, correct and special experiences” she’s ever had.“That felt good,” the “Wicked” star concluded before resuming her performance at United Center. “I wish that words were enough to articulate how much I love you.”Over the weekend, Grande’s rep announced that the Grammy winner will be “taking a step back from visibility” when her “Eternal Sunshine” tour wraps.The “Side to Side” hitmaker (pictured above on July 27) insisted it did not come from an “impulsive” or “reactive” place. Instagram/arianagrandeGrande (pictured above in Friday’s “Petal” music video) denied “negativity is ruining things” for her. YouTube/Ariana Grande“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” the spokesperson explained, referencing online chatter regarding Grande’s weight after the release of her “Petal” music video.“This tour has been a beautiful experience for her,” the statement continued. “She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”However, a source clarified to Page Six that Grande is bowing out because “she’s been overworked.”“She’s been nonstop and it’s taking a toll. She’s never handled the public scrutiny well and constant chatter about her weight [doesn’t help],” the insider told us Monday.“That felt good,” the actress (pictured above in December 2025) said after her speech. arianagrande/InstagramThe songwriter (pictured above in Friday’s “Petal” music video) shared her headline-making career update on Sunday. BabyDoll MusicA second insider reiterated that Grande is taking a break because she was hurt by the “nonstop public scrutiny” more than a heavy work schedule.The “Thank U, Next” hitmaker had been set to star in the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Sunday in the Park with George” opposite her “Wicked” co-star Jonathan Bailey next summer, but has now pulled out.The musical’s producers acknowledged her withdrawal via social media on Sunday.“Following this evening’s announcement from Ariana Grande’s team, we can confirm that she has decided to step back from ‘Sunday in the Park with George,’” read a statement shared by the musical’s official X account. “We know this cannot have been an easy decision, and she makes it with our complete understanding and support.”She pulled out of starring opposite Jonathan Bailey (pictured above in 2024) in a London musical next year. Getty Images for Universal PicturesThe former Nickelodeon star (pictured above in November 2024) has hit back at criticism about her appearance before. arianagrande/InstagramSince fans noticed her weight loss in 2023, the former Nickelodeon star has been forced to hit back at the chatter multiple times.In her song “Yes, And?” off her 2024 album “Eternal Sunshine,” she sings, “My face is sitting, I don’t need no disguise / Don’t comment on my body, do not reply / Your business is yours, and mine is mine.”At the time, she also insisted that her weight loss was due to eating a vegan diet and cutting out alcohol. Her decision to “step back” comes on the heels of her split from ex-boyfriend Ethan Slater after three years of dating. Last month, Page Six confirmed she has rekindled her relationship with Ricky Alvarez.
