Prince Philip has undergone “successful” heart surgery, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.
In a brief statement, a palace spokesperson said, “The Duke of Edinburgh yesterday underwent a successful procedure for a pre-existing heart condition at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. His Royal Highness will remain in hospital for treatment, rest and recuperation for a number of days.”
Queen Elizabeth‘s 99-year-old husband has been hospitalized for more than two weeks after falling ill.
About a week ago, Prince William told a photographer at an event that his grandfather is “okay,” and added that “they’re keeping an eye on him.”
Chris Harrison apologized for offending Rachel Lindsay and the entire Black community, during his appearance on Good Morning America Thursday, and Rachel accepted the apology.
The Bachelor host came under fire after defending a cast member who was accused of racist behavior in the past. Chris, who made the comments during an interview with Rachel, had to step away from the reality show temporarily.
He sat down with Michael Strahan on Thursday to talk about the incident. Chris said he was “saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was in that interview with Rachel Lindsay.” He added, “I didn’t speak from my heart — and that is to say I stand against all forms of racism, and I am deeply sorry.”
Rachel later told TMZ she accepts his apology, because it’s what she needs to do to move forward with her life.
On the other hand, Strahan wasn’t impressed by the mea culpa, saying, “His apology is his apology, but it felt like I got nothing more than a surface response on any of this.”
Sports broadcaster Emmanuel Acho will replace Harrison to host the After the Final Rose finale for this season.
Meghan Markle is ready to tell all during her big interview with Oprah Winfrey Sunday — and one of the “shocking claims” she reportedly makes is about her battle with mental health during her time in the U.K., according to Page Six.
The Duchess will also discuss her experiences with racism in Great Britain.
But, according to Page Six, “the most staggering moments will come when she discusses the breakdown that led to her and [Prince] Harry quitting the royal family and his home country.”
Oprah was “stunned” to hear how bad things were for Meg as a royal, saying in the trailer, “You’ve said some pretty shocking things here … wait, hold up, wait a minute.”
A TV insider tells Page Six, “What Meghan says is very, very serious and upsetting.”
The tell-all interview with Oprah airs Sunday on CBS.
