After announcing a restock and new batch of products — which she teased as 'delicious surprises' — on Monday, June 16, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, celebrated the launch day arriving with a new photo on Instagram on Friday, June 20. In the photo, Meghan could be seen smiling as she swung on a swing in a picturesque outdoor area. 'No more sleeps!' the post on As ever's Instagram was captioned. Meghan also reposted the photo on her Instagram Stories with the same caption and a countdown timer to the products going live with the heading 'As Ever Summer Drop.' The timer showed that the products were due to drop in seven hours, 56 minutes and 34 seconds at the time of Meghan's post. While announcing the summer drop on June 16, Meghan wrote on her Instagram Stories, 'So much love has gone into I can't wait to share it with you this Friday, June 20th!' The words accompanied a post from As ever's Instagram account and showed a stack of six pancakes beautifully plated outdoors, topped with raspberries and drizzled with what appeared to be honey. 'Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT - we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss! 🍯,' read the caption.

Let's wait until we are completely stable, and we have everything we need." Read the original article on People

F1 CEO says drivers are its 'protagonists' and drama is good for business

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is on a mission to expand the company's global footprint and grow its US audience — and that means spotlighting the "protagonists" of the sport. "They are our jewel, our stars," Domenicali said about F1 drivers at a press roundtable on Monday. Unlike in sports like football or baseball, he says it can be a challenge to make F1 drivers "the face" of the sport when they're not as physically visible during races. With drivers shielded by cars and fully suited in helmets and gloves, it can be tough for fans to get to know the drivers behind the wheel, the CEO said. High-profile films like "F1: The Movie," starring Brad Pitt, or the Netflix docuseries "Formula 1: Drive to Survive," help generate buzz. The CEO also said that tension between drivers and clashes on and off the track can be good for business — and there's been no shortage of such. Races have resulted in many iconic moments, like the on-track collision in 2021 between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, which triggered an outburst from Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. Domenicali joked that there's some truth behind the idea that "all press is good press." He said it's generally good when people have something to talk about. The CEO added that viewers are "attracted" to the "sporting drama" and casual fans may be especially interested in the lifestyle aspect of the races. As the company expands its global footprint and reaches more Americans, Domenicali said F1 needs to "cover a very wide portfolio" of viewers and understand the specific needs of each segment. That means using different narratives and languages to tell the story of the sport, Domenicali said. F1 has already proved successful in diversifying its fan base to some degree. The company's audience has grown to 41% female, compared to 37% in 2018, a spokesperson told BI. While "there are limits" to drama involved in the sport, the tension has added to its competitive nature, especially as F1 increasingly evolves into an entertainment brand. Domenicali said the company wants drivers to have different personalities rather than being "20 clones" of the same person. At the end of the day, F1 embodies much more than driving, he said. "If you want to drive, Uber driving can offer you a great opportunity to do a lot of driving," he said.

Woman About To Buy House Left Stunned by Realtor's Comment: 'Left the Room'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A video about a woman's uncomfortable moment during a final walk-through of her soon-to-be new home—when the estate agent casually asked if she was pregnant, despite her not being so—has gone viral on TikTok. The video, shared by New York State resident Megan Gillman (@unfilteredlifecoach), 36, sees the life coach and mother of a toddler recount the May incident. "So there are some people who don't know that you can't ask a woman this in 2025," she says in the video. Gillman explains that while touring the property on closing day, the estate agent unexpectedly asked her "When are you due?" Caught off guard, Gillman responded with "excuse me?"—only to hear the agent follow up with "Are you expecting?" After Gillman replied "no," the agent pressed once more, asking if she had "just had a baby recently." "No," Gillman replied again, saying: "I'm just a woman who happens to carry her weight around her mid-section." Gillman told Newsweek that she was mildly surprised by the comment but still found it inappropriate. "I think it's rude to ask any woman about whether she's pregnant, especially if you've only just met," she said. "However, I've been asked this question at least three times before in my life by people I don't know at all, both before and after actually being pregnant." This time, instead of brushing it off or cushioning the agent's discomfort, Gillman stood her ground. "Well, maybe you should just stop asking them," she said. In her video, which has received over 500,000 views since being posted, Gillman explained that she "left the room" after the exchange. According to an April 2021 YouGov study, 76 percent of Americans believe that "women are under more pressure than men are to have a certain body type." Screenshots from a viral TikTok video of a woman recalling a question that a realtor asked her during a house tour that left her stunned.

It may not have been a malicious mistake, but still, the estate agent should not have commented on her repeated questions from the agent suggest some deep-seated weight bias." Markey emphasized that people carry weight differently, and public assumptions about someone's body often reflect harmful stereotypes. "People's bodies come in different sizes and shapes—they do not all look the same," she said. Etiquette expert Liza Mirza Grotts was equally blunt. She said: "The rule is simple—don't speculate or congratulate. If a woman is expecting, she'll tell you. Never comment on a woman's body. Pregnant or not, it's none of your business until she makes it so." Carol Kaemmerer, an executive branding strategist and author, added that even well-meaning comments can cause harm. "When it comes to something as personal as pregnancy—or anyone's appearance—assumptions can wound, even when intention is harmless," she told Newsweek. "Respectful curiosity waits to be welcomed in." Gillman reflected on how her response has evolved over the years. "The first time I remember spiraling for days, stressing about my body and that little bit of belly fat I could never seem to get rid of no matter what diets and exercise I tried! I was so embarrassed," she told Newsweek. "After that I'd try to laugh it off... I'd say things like 'oh no! I just love doughnuts!' so that the person who'd made the statement felt like we were in on a joke together." But that approach has changed. "Now, after over a decade of random people asking me if I'm pregnant, I'm not trying to make them feel comfortable. I'm just trying to make them stop, even if it's just one at a time." Gillman said she had hoped society had moved beyond these kinds of body-shaming moments. "The expectation that a woman should have a flat stomach at all times is unrealistic, and often deeply harmful," she said. "I guess I thought we'd all learned that and started to try to be kinder to each other." To those unsure why these comments are offensive, Gillman offered a final piece of advice, saying "pick different small talk topics next time." Do you have a similar story to share?
