Facing a looming US ban, TikTok's emergency appeal to the Supreme Court has been granted. Oral arguments are set for January 10th, nine days before the app could be shut down unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, divests. The law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, would block TikTok from US app stores and web hosting services unless ByteDance sells its stake by January 19. TikTok is arguing that the law, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, violates its First Amendment free speech rights.

The Duke of Sussex put an end to rumors that he and his six-year wife, Meghan Markle, are divorcing because they have been to a number of public events apart recently.

According to People, the 40-year-old stated, Apparently we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times, during the New York Times 2024 DealBook Summit in New York City on December 4. It appears that we have also divorced perhaps ten or twelve times. Thus, it's simply like, What?

It's difficult to keep up with, but that's why you just kind of ignore it,he continued.

The royal, who is fifth in line for the British throne, is no stranger to dealing with tabloid rumors, but he did share his true feelings about those who spread false information about his private life.

Harry went on, The trolls are the people I feel the most sorry for. They keep building their hopes, and then they say, Yes, yes, yes, yes, and it never materializes. I therefore feel bad for them. I really do.

However, for Harry, who has two children with Meghan, 43, Archie Harrison, 5, and Lilibet Diana, 3, ignoring negativity does not mean shutting it out entirely. In fact, he has already stated that the British tabloid media's portrayal of the couple has made him hesitant to return home with the Duchess of Sussex.

In an interview with ITV in July, Harry stated, It's still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read.

Whatever it is, whether it's a knife or acid, he went on, these are things that are of genuine concern for me. I refuse to bring my wife back to this country for this reason, among others.
