King Charles: The Monarch Formerly Known as 'Prince'
All hail the king! After 70 years, England has a new monarch. At his coronation over the weekend, 74-year-old King Charles became the oldest newly-crowned English king ever. But at the star-studded Coronation Concert, the King partied like it’s 1999…"when he was only 50"...as he was entertained by Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Even Prince Harry showed up - plus none - to celebrate his father, while wife Meghan Markle stayed home with the kids. Or did she? (Cue one of the weirdest conspiracy theories ever!)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The jury has spoken, and Ed Sheeran is in the clear! The singer was being sued by the estate of one of the writers of Marvin Gaye’s hit “Let’s Get It On.” He was fighting their claims that his song “Thinking Out Loud” was a total rip-off of Marvin’s classic panty-dropping anthem. But, after being treated to a mini Ed Sheeran concert in the courtroom, the jury took only 3 hours to render their verdict. So did they get it right? Richies, we’re putting you in the jury box, playing the evidence and letting you decide.
