Awkward! Royal fans claim Venus Williams snubbed Prince Harry at ESPYs after she failed to join standing ovation and didn't clap when Duke was called on stage to collect his award

Royal watchers took to X, to claim the tennis legend, 44 - who is the sister to Meghan Markle 's good friend Serena Williams - failed to stand up or clap for Prince Harry when he received a Pat Tillman Award at the glitzy Los Angeles ceremony on Thursday night. The Duke of Sussex accepted the award - which is named after Pat Tillman, an NFL player who gave up his lucrative career to enlist in the army following 9/11 - despite calls from Pat's mother and other veterans to reject it . In a video shared by ESPN on YouTube ; Harry can be seen running up to the stage to collect his award, but while his wife and much of the crowd stand up to applaud the prince, Venus remained seated and seemingly failed to join in with the ovation. However later on in the clip, the sporting icon - who was recently honoured with her own Barbie doll - can be seen standing next to Meghan and joining in with the applause. But royal fans say Venus nevertheless 'shaded' Harry, while others have accused her of giving the couple major 'side eye'.

I've been sexually assaulted three times, once by a celebrity and once in front of my

Even after all these years I can still remember his ginger freckles. I can see them as clear as day, the intensity of them, sprawling over his face. It gave me something to fixate on, I suppose. If I close my eyes, I can see his bald head with wisps of ginger hair. He was a complete stranger who was in my life for no more than a few minutes 39 years ago, and yet I can vividly see him like it was yesterday. And that's because this man, this monster, sexually assaulted me when I was seven years old. Seven.

Are true crime documentaries inspiring a new wave of young female killers? Psychologist

There was no reason to suspect Fiona Beal might have murdered her boyfriend Nicholas Billingham - nor, indeed, that Billingham had even gone missing. After Beal killed the 42-year-old in November 2021, she sent messages to his family and friends from his phone, purporting to be him and claiming they'd split up. She even invited Billingham's mother for tea as her son's decomposing body lay feet away. She might have got away with her crime had police, concerned over reports of her mental health, not visited Beal, a respected primary school teacher, at a rented chalet in Cumbria, where they found her diary - and in it what amounted to a confession. 'While he was in the bath, I kept the knife in my dressing gown pocket and then hid it in the drawer next to the bed,' Beal, 50, had written, before describing her attempts to dispose of her controlling boyfriend's corpse, which was 'harder than I thought it would be. Hiding a body was bad. Moving a body is much more difficult than it looks on TV'.
