Barack Obama says 'beloved' Queen Elizabeth reminded him of his grandmother

Kanye West has compared his divorce to the death of Queen Elizabeth. The 'Stronger' rapper split from Kim Kardashian - the mother of his children North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and three-year-old Psalm - in February 2021 after six years of marriage, and he claimed losing his own "queen" has given him an understanding of how British people feel following the death of the 96-year-old monarch earlier this month. He wrote on his Instagram Story using his signature all-captial letter style: "London I know how you feel.

Barack Obama mocked Donald Trump’s false election claims Sunday, noting that he too lost an election, and although it “didn’t feel good,” he didn’t “make stuff up.” “We used to have arguments about policy, but now people just make stuff up: ‘I didn’t lose,'” the former President said at the L’ATTITUDE Conference in San Diego, California, hinting that he was referring to Trump (and a sizeable amount of Republicans). “I lost an election — only one — it didn’t feel good, but I didn’t say ‘no.'”Obama’s comments follow his discussion of misinformation surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine, noting that “if you were getting information from your phone, you would think all kinds of stuff was happening,” including the baseless suspicion that microchips were being planted in people or that men would experience erectile dysfunction.To further demonstrate his point, Obama pointed out NBA Hall of Famer from the San Antonio Spurs Manu Ginóbili in the San Diego audience and explained that when his team lost to the Miami Heat, the player did not claim that the opposing team didn’t make that shot or that the referees were cheating.“Instead what he did was they went back, worked harder and kicked some butt the next year,” Obama explained.

Prince Harry is "desperately making last-minute changes" to tell-all book following the death of Queen Elizabeth. The 38-year-old royal - who stepped down from duties back in 2020 and relocated to L.
