Prince Harry has returned to the U.K. -- coming face-to-face with his estranged father, King Charles III, at Clarence House for the first time in over a year... a royal reunion that could signal a turning point.

The Duke of Sussex pulled up to his father’s London home around 5:20 PM on Wednesday in a black SUV... and reports say the two shared a private tea during a 55-minute sit-down.

Harry’s been busy in the U.K. this week -- hitting the WellChild Awards and paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at her burial site on the anniversary of her death -- before heading to London for their first face-to-face since Feb '24, when the King revealed his cancer diagnosis.

Donald Trump isn’t holding back on the man accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a North Carolina train, he’s demanding the ultimate punishment -- death.

On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social saying there’s no doubt suspected killer Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. deserves a speedy trial resulting in the death penalty -- 'cause there’s no excuse for taking the life of Iryna, an innocent woman who came to America seeking peace and safety.

Trump made sure to hammer home "the death penalty" in capital letters, making it loud and clear he’s serious about the consequences Decarlos should face.

Kamala Harris cuts to the chase in her upcoming book "107 Days" ... calling the decision to let President Biden decide whether to run for reelection pure "recklessness."

She candidly discusses the decision-making process in her new memoir -- The Atlantic published an excerpt Wednesday in which she admits everyone behind the scenes allowing Joe and his wife, Jill, to make the call was like they'd "all been hypnotized." Notably, she includes herself in that group.

Kamala adds ... "The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision."

President Trump just got heckled at a restaurant near the White House ... and the demonstrators are comparing POTUS to Adolf Hitler.

Ya gotta see this video from a fancy restaurant where Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are dining ... protesters are waving Palestinian flags and chanting.

The protesters are repeating, "Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time."

If you need more evidence Jeffrey Epstein was one sick pup ... then look no further than his 50th birthday book — which features drawings of his favorite subject — underage girls!

Congress, as you know, obtained a copy of ol' Jeffrey's Bday book and released it publicly Monday, showing artwork from an unidentified artist (or pervert!) that will surely gross some people out.

The documents, obtained by TMZ, include a drawing depicting a man handing multi-colored balloons to a group of pig-tailed girls with "1983" scribbled at the bottom.

It's not exactly clear if the guy is Epstein because he has a full head of dark hair instead of his famous salt and pepper look. However, Epstein was just 30 in 1983, so he probably wasn't graying much yet.

The Swedish Health Minister is sparking concern about her own health ... after going viral for collapsing onstage during a live press conference.

Watch the video, which is spreading like wildfire online ... Elisabet Lann -- who just became the health minister in Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's cabinet -- is seen slowly falling forward while listening to another person address the press during Tuesday's conference.

The other politicians onstage -- including PM Kristersson -- as well as a few members of the press, then move quickly to tend to Lann, who appears unconscious after taking down her translucent podium.

1:35 PM PT -- The White House has responded with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posting on X, "The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire 'Birthday Card' story is false. As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it. President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation. Furthermore, the “reporter” @joe_palazzolo who wrote this hatchet job reached out for comment at the EXACT same minute he published his story giving us no time to respond. This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax!"

President Trump's alleged 50th birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein has just been revealed ... complete with a naked woman sketch, and some mysterious/creepy words.

Rep. Robert Garcia just reposted an image of the alleged letter on X ... and it features several lines of typewritten text, a drawing of a naked woman showing breasts, and the name "Donald" signed squiggly, as if it were pubic hair on the woman.

The alleged letter to Epstein is written as a conversation between Trump and Epstein. It begins with a voice-over, "There must be more to life than having everything."

Donald Trump only interacted with Jeffrey Epstein 'cause he was informing on him to the FBI ... so says the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Speaker Mike Johnson defended the President's association with the convicted sex offender when speaking to reporters Friday ... explaining the President isn't calling Epstein's crimes a hoax -- he's saying Democrats have blown his involvement with the guy out of proportion.

Johnson then said, "When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.”

J.D. Vance says he's not worried if other people refer to the administration's military force as war crimes ... 'cause he doesn't "give a s***" about the label.

The Vice President took to X to defend the U.S. military recently killing 11 people on a boat from Venezuela, which they allege carried illegal narcotics. President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this week the ship was "a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat."

Worth noting ... the administration hasn't provided any evidence to corroborate the claims, and the strike caused outrage online ... with many calling it an attack on civilians. Gang members in this situation are not technically enemy combatants under international law, many argue.

Donald Trump's clearly in good spirits despite recent gossip of his impending death ... cracking jokes about the unfounded rumors during a recent tech dinner.

POTUS and First Lady Melania Trump held a dinner at the White House on Thursday for a group of tech giants, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, tech investor David Sacks, Apple CEO Tim Cook and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Before the dinner kicked off, the prez said a few words ... complimenting the press on how nice they've been lately before adding "although I'm still here" -- which earned a few chuckles from his honored guests.

Halle Berry is putting her star power behind a major push in California ... pleading for lawmakers and the Governor to step up for women's health.

We got Halle outside CBS Studios in NYC on Thursday and we asked her about some new proposed legislation in California that would require health plans to cover menopause-related treatments.

Halle puts pressure on California Governor Gavin Newsom to pass the bill ... telling him women of a certain age going through the biological transition deserve the same level of care as all other females do, calling menopause health a matter of basic human rights.

Tucker Carlson is tripling down on his claim Pete Buttigieg isn't gay ... referring to him as "the fake gay guy" during his recent chat on his eponymous show.

Check out the clip ... Michael Knowles cracks up on Tucker's podcast when Tucker declares Buttigieg is not actually gay -- Tucker's proof being a gay producer on his show thinks Pete's straight.

Tucker accuses Buttigieg of trying to appeal to the Democratic base by masquerading as a gay man, adding ... "It's suffering for your art."

Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell are sparring on social media yet again ... this time after the prez reminded followers he's "giving serious thought" to revoking the actress' U.S. citizenship.

He reignited their feud on Truth Social Wednesday, posting an unflattering photo of his enemy while telling supporters ... "She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!"

Rosie clapped right back -- telling DT "Succession" character Logan Roy "would be proud."

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping had one hell of a conversation during their meeting today ... the world leaders were caught on a hot mic discussing the possibility of living to 150 -- and beyond!!!

Watch the video ... Putin and Xi are seen walking side by side and having a passionate conversation while heading to watch Beijing's military parade -- which commemorates the 80 years since World War II ended.

A hot mic then picks up the pair's conversation, with Putin's translator shedding light on the topic at hand ... bio-technology, and how it can lead to a longer life.

The mystery of the "missing minute" from outside Jeffrey Epstein's detention cell has been solved ... but the answer probably won't stop the conspiracy theorists.

As you know ... The U.S. Department of Justice dumped an avalanche of new Epstein case documents on the public Tuesday night, including an 11-hour-long surveillance video recorded outside the notorious pedophile's cell at NYC's Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019. Epstein was awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking minors.

In the camera footage ... you see the timestamp make a smooth transition from 23:59:59 on August 9, 2019, to 00:00:00 on August 10, 2019. And everything appears to be normal during the minute before the midnight switch-over that was previously missing from the security video.

Rudy Giuliani is feeling better after his car accident in New Hampshire ... because he's been released from the hospital!

The former NYC mayor and President Trump's ex-lawyer walked out of the hospital on his own Monday afternoon following his Saturday night crash in Manchester, NH, during which he suffered a broken vertebra, according to his son, Andrew.

Andrew told WABC News his dad is in lots of pain, but there are "few tougher than Rudy Giuliani.” Andrew also said he initially thought the worst after hearing about the accident, but now he's encouraged by the fact that Rudy is “up and moving around” and starting physical therapy.
