The royal is stepping back into acting with a cameo in the upcoming film Close Personal Friends, joining a star‑studded cast that includes Lily Collins and Brie Larson.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to retire after nearly 40-year career in D.C.
Pelosi announced she will retire at the end of her current term, ending a historic congressional career that spans nearly four decades. First elected in 1987, Pelosi made history as the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House, holding the gavel twice, and shaping many of the most significant legislative moments of the 21st century. Pelosi says her decision comes after “deep reflection” and a desire to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders. Her announcement marks the end of an era for House Democrats and U.S. politics more broadly — a moment of transition for one of Washington’s most influential figures.
