Royal Rift
The Firm had been relatively quiet in the months following the release of Prince Harry and Megan Markle's Netflix's documentary Harry & Megan, but ahead of King Charles III's coronation, the royal family has asked the couple to vacate their UK home. A chunk of the documentary explored The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's relationship with the royals, and viewers even got Prince Harry's account of nearly coming to blows with Prince William.

Jussie Smollett's Appeal
Actor Jussie Smollet is looking to avoid serving prison time after he was found guilty of lying to police about a hate crime.

They also argue the judge presiding over the case made reversible errors, according to Variety.
