King Charles III and his staff are giving a heartfelt goodbye to royal horse Tyrone, who is retiring from his role with the royal family.

"After 14 years of noble service with the Royal Mews, we are celebrating Tyrone and wishing him a happy retirement," the royal family said on their official X account.

The palace went on to describe Tyrone as a "gentle and dependable giant."

Over his 14 years of service, Tyrone pulled royal carriages in royal weddings (he towed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their wedding day in 2018), state visits and other major events including Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee and King Charles' coronation. He worked for the royal family for the last time when French President Emmanuel Macron made a state visit to the U.K. in July.

The horse is expected to join his father, 26-year-old Storm, and his older sister, 20-year-old Meg, in retirement. All three animals will reside at the Horse Trust sanctuary in Buckinghamshire, England, which is home to 120 horses, ponies and mules.

"All three horse were very dear to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II," the royal family shared. "Tyrone will be missed by everyone at the Royal Mews, but it's wonderful that he'll be reunited with his father and sister. Thank you, Tyrone!"

While some commenters were excited about the horse's retirement, others pointed out how there are more serious issues in the U.K. that the king could be focusing on.

"A lovely homage to the old ways, Tyrone has seen it all," one X user commented.

"How lovely! Happy retirement, Tyrone! It's so wonderful that your Dad is still around too," another wrote.

One critic deadpanned, "A tweet about a horse."

Another critic joked, "Tyrone the horse retires after 14 years of real work — making him the only Royal who's actually earned a pension."

In the world of modern lighting, LED strip lights have become a staple for their efficiency, flexibility and design appeal. Among these, waterproof LED strip lights stand out for their durability and ability to function in challenging environments. Whether it's for outdoor installations, damp interiors or commercial use, sourcing from a trusted waterproof LED strip wholesale provider is crucial to ensure quality, safety and long-term performance.

Why Waterproof LED Strip Lights?

Waterproof LED strips are specially designed to withstand moisture, humidity and in some cases, direct water exposure. They are typically rated with IP65, IP67 or IP68 protection standards, making them suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor lighting applications.

Some common use cases include:

● Garden and Landscape Lighting

● Pool and Fountain Edging

● Bathroom and Kitchen Accents

● Outdoor Signage and Architectural Highlights

● Marine and Automotive Applications

In such settings, regular LED strips would fail over time due to water damage or corrosion. That's why choosing waterproof variants — and more importantly, choosing a reliable wholesale partner — is essential.

Benefits of Buying Waterproof LED Strips Wholesale

Purchasing waterproof LED strip lights in bulk offers several advantages, particularly for contractors, resellers and lighting solution providers:

1. Cost Efficiency

Buying in wholesale quantities significantly reduces per-unit costs, helping improve profit margins or reduce overall project expenses.

2. Consistency in Quality

A good wholesale supplier ensures consistency in color temperature, brightness and build quality across batches — critical for large-scale installations.

3. Availability of Variants

Wholesale suppliers often carry a wider variety of specifications — different IP ratings, voltage options, brightness levels and color temperatures — allowing you to cater to diverse project needs.

4. Customization and Branding

OEM/ODM services are often available when ordering in bulk, enabling customized products, packaging and even private labeling.

Key Features to Look For in Waterproof LED Strip Lights

When selecting a wholesale supplier, consider these important product attributes:

● IP Rating: Determines the level of waterproofing. IP65 is splash-resistant, IP67 is immersion-resistant and IP68 can be used underwater.

● Voltage & Wattage: Common options include 12V and 24V. Choose based on your power requirements.

● Brightness & Color Options: Ensure the strips offer adequate lumens and come in desired color formats (e.g., white, warm white, RGB, RGBW).

● Material Quality: Look for silicone or PU coating for long-lasting waterproof protection.

● Durability & Lifespan: Verify lifespan ratings (typically 30,000–50,000 hours) and heat dissipation capabilities.

Avoiding Common Mistakes When Buying Wholesale

● Ignoring IP Ratings: Not all waterproof strips are the same. Choose the right IP rating for your specific environment.

● Underestimating Power Needs: Always match the LED strip's voltage to the correct power supply.

● Overlooking After-Sales Support: Work with suppliers who offer warranties and technical support.

By partnering with a trusted waterproof LED strip wholesale supplier like DekingLED, you get more than just LEDs — you get peace of mind, product consistency and a partner invested in your success.

Audiences are getting a first look at the upcoming spinoff of The Office.

In Peacock's The Paper — which debuts on September 4 — the same film crew who documented the hijinks at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company follows staffers at a small-town newspaper as an outsider takes over to breathe new life into the publication.  

In the trailer for the highly anticipated show, Domhnall Gleeson's character, Ned Sampson, is hired as the lead editor for the Midwest outlet.

"Have you read this paper? How do you think it compares to any other paper?" Chelsea Frei's character asks Sampson.

"It s****. But we are going to make it better," the new guy in town replies.

Gleeson's alter ego tells the unmotivated writers in the office, "My name is Ned Sampson. I am your new editor-in-chief. I hope it's not too disruptive to have me come in and sort of shake everything up."

In a hilarious moment, The White Lotus alum Sabrina Impacciatore's character tells her new boss, "Oh, no, no, no. Don't be so self-defecating!"

In a callback to the original NBC comedy, Oscar Nuñez — who's back as Oscar Martinez — sees the cameras following him around during his workday and attempts to make their footage of him unusable. "Not again!" Martinez yells as he gets up and walks away from the crew. "I'm not approving any of this. I will make this unusable — f***! Use that!"

The Paper is brought to life by creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman and Banijay Americas are executive producing.

Besides the aforementioned actors, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young and Tim Key will also star in the series.

Prince Harry could face more bullying claims after he made the "devastating" decision to leave his role as the patron of Sentebale — the charity he co-founded alongside Prince Seeiso of Lesotho — after Dr. Sophie Chandauka refused to resign.

In August, the Charity Commission for England and Wales announced it found no evidence of "widespread or systemic bullying, harassment, misogyny or misogynoir" at Sentebale following an investigation into claims made by the charity's current chair, Dr. Chandauka.

Though the regulator suggested all parties involved be "mindful to channel their belief in the charity's mission in a constructive and collaborative way," it seems tensions remain high, according to Daily Mail.

Current chair Chandauka accused the Duke of Sussex of launching a bullying campaign "at scale" against her. The Commission found that the "damaging internal dispute severely impacted the charity's reputation and risked undermining public trust in charities."

In a statement, Sentebale said: "The Charity Commission is explicitly clear, including in its public guidance, that it is not the Commission's responsibility to adjudicate or mediate internal disputes."

"This would include individual allegations of bullying, harassment, misogyny, misogynoir [misogyny against black women] etc.," Sentebale continued.

While Chandauka accused Harry of mistreatment, the Commission asserted that they didn't look into personal spats.

"As a result, the Commission has not investigated any individual allegations and therefore has not made any findings in relation to individuals, including Prince Harry," they continued. "The issues not investigated by the Commission can and may be dealt with through avenues more appropriate than the Commission."

Daily Mail reported original board members, many of whom were Harry's friends, said it was "provocative" and "pitiful" to "rehash unsubstantiated allegations of bullying, misogyny and more, which the Commission found no evidence of."

"These trustees acted in the best interest of the charity in asking the chair to step down, while keeping the well-being of staff in mind," Harry and Seeiso said in a joint statement. "In turn, she sued the charity to remain in this voluntary position, further underscoring the broken relationship."

"What's transpired is unthinkable. We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale's beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of our concerns with the Charity Commission as to how this came about," the royal continued.

One actress thanked Elon Musk for paying her legal bills.

Fired Star Wars franchise cast member Gina Carano took to X to write a message of gratitude for the billionaire after he bankrolled her s** discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm.

I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm @disney @Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force. 

I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, @elonmusk a man I've never met,… https://t.co/qiAX7W1vgf

"I want to extend my deepest most heartfelt gratitude to Elon Musk, a man I've never met, who did this good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit," the 43-year-old wrote in a tweet about her settlement with the company. "Thank you Mr. Musk and X for backing my case and asking for nothing in return."

Carano was let go from The Mandalorian series in 2021 after sharing controversial social media posts comparing Republicans today to the experience of Jewish people during the Holocaust. The former martial artist also expressed her views on alleged election interference and opposition to vaccines.

Three years later, Carano — who played Cara Dune in the first two seasons of the show — took legal action against Disney. The former DOGE specialist offered to foot the bill for the actress, along with anyone who is facing repercussions of free speech on X, which he owns.

In a statement following the agreement between Carano and her former employer, Lucasfilm said they "look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future."

In a social media update, Carano made it clear the settlement was the "best outcome for all parties involved."

"I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter," she explained. "My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me."

Kristi Noem is not happy with the creators of South Park.

The Secretary of Homeland Security called into CNN to slam the Comedy Central series' portrayal of her as a Botox-obsessed dog killer.

"It's so lazy, it constantly makes fun of women for how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that," Noem explained during a chat with the left-leaning cable news network. "If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't. They just pick something petty like that."

The parody of Donald Trump's pal shows her murdering puppies as staffers attempt to keep her face looking in tip-top shape with injectables despite her features continuing to melt down.

The episode riffed off of Noem's 2024 book, No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, where she admits to taking the life of a dog. "Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old," the former governor of South Dakota wrote in the tell-all about the pet she claimed had an "aggressive personality."

"I hated that dog," she continued before noting how "untrainable" the pup was. "At that moment. I realized I had to put her down. It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done."

The 53-year-old has also been criticized for what some have called her "MAGA Makeover" since landing her new job in Washington, D.C.

The recent plot about Noem is far from the first time South Park trolled Trump and members of his team. In another storyline from Season 27, the current president is depicted in bed with Satan while complaining about his microp****. 

"This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a response. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak."

Howard Stern is an icon in the radio industry, but his time at SiriusXM could be coming to an end. The shock jock spent the first week of August at the center of rumors that his long-running radio show had been canceled.

Stern has yet to address the rumors, though another famous New Yorker was happy to share his take…

Donald Trump told a conservative journalist that he thinks Stern's refusal to support the MAGA movement played a role in his radio show potentially coming to an end.

"Howard Stern announced that he and SiriusXM Radio are parting ways," Brian Glenn of Real America's Voice falsely claimed before asking Trump, "Do you think that the 'hate Trump' business model that has been in the business is going out of business because it's not popular with the American people?"

According to Deadline, the president replied, "Howard Stern is a name I haven't heard — I used to do his show, we used to have fun — but I haven't heard that name in a long time. What happened? He got terminated?"

Trump went on to blame Stern's decision to endorse Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. "You know when he went down? When he endorsed Hillary Clinton," he said. "He lost his audience. People said, 'Give me a break.' He went down when he endorsed Hillary Clinton."

While sources have claimed that Stern is parting ways with SiriusXM, the radio host promised listeners that he's returning to his show on September 2 following a summer vacation.

"We'll be back on the air live. I've been refueling, so to speak," he said.

The U.S. Sun reported that Stern and SiriusXM are working out a deal for the rights to his catalogue.

"Stern's contract is up in the fall and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don't intend for him to take it," a source said. "Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want. It's no longer worth the investment. … But as far as him coming back to doing the show, there's no way they can keep paying his salary."

In 1974, Ian Ball attempted to kidnap Princess Anne and her then-husband, Mark Phillips. In the failed abduction, Ball shot four men while trying to get to the Princess Royal. But according to the New York Post, he recently said he was "more scared" of her than she was of him.

Ball, who was released from a psychiatric facility six years ago, recently opened up about the incident in an interview.

"I had good reason to believe the gunpowder had been taken out of the bullets and another girl had been substituted for Princess Anne," he told DailyMail.com.

He went on to insist that the kidnapping was meant to be a "hoax" staged with a friend on the police force.

"The whole idea of performing the hoax was to get the publicity so I could write my autobiography and I expected to get £10,000 in royalties," he said. "I'm an innocent, sane man."

Ball continued to assert that the princess was never in danger, in spite of the fact that he shot multiple people. "[Anne] wasn't bothered on the night. I didn't scare her. I was more scared than she was," he said.

Princess Anne, for her part, has said that she was "furious at this man who was having a tug of war with me."

Her father, Prince Phillip, remarked of the failed kidnapping, "If the man had succeeded in abducting Anne, she would have given him a hell of a time in captivity."
