"It didn't go well. Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars, it seemed like a good idea at the time," the prince said. The confession comes from the early days of their relationship, which began when were students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The couple met in 2001 and, after years of dating, married in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey in April 2011. William further joked that Kate has "has never let me forget" it. In fact, the royal family has a tradition of exchanging gag gifts during the holidays, as per Page Six. Prince Harry, for example, had revealed in his 2023 memoir, Spare, that he once received a fish-shaped ballpoint pen from Princess Margaret. It has also been reported that Harry gifted Queen Elizabeth II a cheeky shower cap with the words "Ain't life a b--h" on it, as per Page Six. Meanwhile, Kate herself once reportedly gave Harry a playful "grow-your-own-girlfriend" kit. This year, Prince William, Kate, and their three children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 spent the festive season at the royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, following the longstanding royal tradition of gathering there for Christmas.

The unnamed woman took to Reddit to reveal that she was ecstatic when her friend of 30 years asked her to be a bridesmaid. She revealed that she poured her all into the party planning and organizing of events and even forked over a ton of cash to make her best pal's day special. The woman revealed that she had flown to Australia for the wedding and that she and the rest of the bridal party arrived a few days early to spend time together and prepare. The beginning of the trip was going perfectly. However, things quickly turned sour when the woman decided to spend one of the five days alone. Her need for some independence sparked a fierce argument that led to her being axed as a bridesmaid. The woman was even uninvited from her friend's wedding and forced to fly all the way back to America alone. A woman has revealed that her friend kicked her out of her bridal party and uninvited her from her wedding just five days before the event (stock image) She shared the post in a thread titled, Wedding Drama . It was titled: 'Getting kicked out of the bridal party.' She explained: 'Five days before the wedding, I was kicked out as being a bridesmaid. I have known the bride and the bridal party for more than 30 years. 'I literally still have no words especially after I flew from America to Australia, and bought all the bridesmaid's dresses, flower girl dresses, and evening clutch. And never heard a word from them since. It’s been over a week. 'I got back to America got all my receipts together along with a letter requesting payment for everything I bought for a wedding I was uninvited to and mailed it.' The woman detailed the rest of the situation in the comments section of the post. She added: 'Well I arrived at my destination after a 30-hour flight including layovers and connecting. Day one - I was around the bride-to-be. Day two - I chilled at my hotel and had one of my friends visit and she and I did poolside and then I went over to bride-to-be as well as the maid of honor who arrived. 'Day three - I was around the bride and maid of honor and later that day I was with the other bridesmaid. So now all four of us are together, catching up, I was excited I hadn’t seen them in years, all good.' The unnamed woman took to Reddit to reveal that she was ecstatic when her friend of 30 years asked to be her bridesmaids However their fun-filled trip went south as the days went by. 'Day four - We hung out all day together and did things. Day five - We had a funeral service for a friend we all grew up with and after that I was catching up with friends we went to high school with for a late lunch and after all that I went back to the bride-to-be’s place before I called it a night and went back to my hotel. 'Day six - We four ladies all hung out and did our final dress fittings so on and so forth. Called it a night and went back to my hotel. Day seven - We really didn’t have any plans as in the four of us ladies doing anything, so obviously lunch was not happening as one of the ladies was hungover anyway, so I went ahead and did my own thing by myself and did some shopping and went to see all the Australian animals to hold and take pics with as it would have been pretty much the only day I had some time to myself and did things. 'Well I guess it was the wrong thing to do and it seemed like I was supposed to stay at the bride-to-be’s place or have permission to do something, I mean we are in our 40s,' she noted. Her adventure ended up being a grave mistake. Because of her outing, the bride ditched her and told her to fly back to America, ending their friendship. She added: 'In the end, she replaced me with the person she always mentioned. I’m still so dumbfounded about why they did this to me. 'I have been with her and the others since I arrived and all on little to no sleep, still trying to adjust to being international, but I have apparently been doing wrong. I don’t get it.' People on the web flooded the comments section and slammed the bride-to-be for her behavior People on the web flooded the comments section and slammed the bride-to-be for her behavior. One person said: 'You literally flew to the other side of the planet to be with your friend! She sounds like someone who’s 14, not 40.' Another user commented: 'She needs to reimburse you for the money you spent on dresses and alterations. She should reimburse you for everything and you may not have traveled so far as a regular guest. 'This woman is not your friend, booting you from the bridal party when you traveled internationally is a friendship-ending event.' Someone else wrote: 'I’d get a lawyer.'

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Get the poll delivered straight to your inbox with AP Top 25 Poll Alerts. Sign up here . INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — There’s more than just school pride and bragging rights to all that bellyaching over who might be in and who might be out of college football ‘s first 12-team playoff. Try the more than $115 million that will be spread across the conferences at the end of the season, all depending on who gets in and which teams go the farthest. According to the College Football Playoff website , the 12 teams simply making the bracket earn their conferences $4 million each. Another $4 million goes to conferences whose teams get into the quarterfinals. Then, there’s $6 million more for teams that make the semifinals and another $6 million for those who play for the title. Most of this bonanza comes courtesy of ESPN, which is forking over $1.3 billion a year to televise the new postseason. A lot of that money is already earmarked — more goes to the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference than the Big 12 or Atlantic Coast — but a lot is up for grabs in the 11 games that will play out between the opening round on Dec. 20 and the final on Jan. 20. In all, the teams that make the title game will bring $20 million to their conferences, all of which distribute that money, along with billions in TV revenue and other sources, in different ways. In fiscal 2022-23, the Big Ten, for instance, reported revenue of nearly $880 million and distributed about $60.5 million to most of its members. RELATED COVERAGE No. 2 Texas goes for a title in its first SEC season, but must get by No. 5 Georgia CFP berth at stake when No. 10 Boise State hosts No. 19 UNLV in Mountain West title game No. 18 Clemson needs to slow down SMU QB Kevin Jennings to win 9th ACC title game, secure CFP spot The massive stakes might help explain the unabashed lobbying coming from some corners of the football world, as the tension grows in advance of Sunday’s final rankings, which will set the bracket. Earlier this week, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark lit into the selection committee, which doesn’t have a single team higher than 15 in the rankings. That does two things: It positions the Big 12 as a one-bid league, and also threatens to makes its champion — either Arizona State or Iowa State — the fifth-best among conference titlists that get automatic bids. Only the top four of those get byes, which could cost the Big 12 a spot in the quarterfinals — or $4 million. “The committee continues to show time and time again that they are paying attention to logos versus resumes,” Yormark said this week, while slamming the idea of teams with two losses in his conference being ranked worse than teams with three in the SEC. The ACC is also staring at a one-bid season with only No. 8 SMU inside the cut line of this week’s projected bracket. Miami’s loss last week all but bumped the Hurricanes out of the playoffs, a snub that ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said left him “incredibly shocked and disappointed.” “As we look ahead to the final rankings, we hope the committee will reconsider and put a deserving Miami in the field,” Phillips said in a statement. The lobbying and bickering filters down to the campuses that feel the impact. And, of course, to social media. One of the most entertaining episodes came earlier this week when athletic directors at Iowa State and SMU went back and forth about whose team was more deserving. There are a few stray millions that the selection committee cannot really influence, including a $3 million payment to conferences that make the playoff. In a reminder that all these kids are going to school, after all, the conferences get $300,000 per football team that meets academic requirements to participate in the postseason.

Canada Post says it has removed the deadline for its Santa Claus letter program amid an ongoing national workers’ strike that has halted mail delivery leading up to the holiday season. Some 55,000 workers walked off the job more than two weeks ago, suspending mail service — and a program that helps deliver up to 1.5 million letters from Canadian kids to the North Pole each year. The postal service says in a statement that while the initial deadline to mail a letter to Santa with the iconic H0H 0H0 postal code was Dec. 6, it has now removed the deadline from its website. It says once operations resume, it will ensure that all letters make it to the North Pole and receive a reply, but it cannot guarantee delivery dates. Canada Post says since the program began more than 40 years ago, Santa’s North Pole post office has delivered replies to more than 45 million letters. During the strike, some communities have stepped up to deliver Santa’s mail themselves, offering their own local programming on social media to make sure letter writers receive a reply by Christmas. The strike entered its 19th day as the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping weekend came to a close. Canada Post said Monday it was waiting for the union to respond to a framework it presented over the weekend for reaching negotiated agreements. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has said it’s reviewed the proposal. It said Canada Post has moved closer to the union’s position on some issues, but the framework “still remains far from something members could ratify.” One of the sticking points has been a push to add weekend delivery, with the union and Canada Post disagreeing over how the rollout would work. The federal government has been under pressure from the business community to intervene in the strike but has said that’s not in the cards.Avacta Group Plc ( LON:AVCT – Get Free Report )’s stock price passed below its 200-day moving average during trading on Friday .
