■ Prince Harry will attend King Charles III’s coronation next month after the father and son had a “heart to heart” talk on the phone, The Sun (U.K.) reported this week.There was “willingness and wanting to mend on both sides,” the report said. But Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, will remain in California with their children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, whose fourth birthday coincides with the coronation. Charles reportedly asked Harry to attend, despite the bad blood left by Meghan and Harry’s scathing public criticism of the royals. Queen Camilla reportedly feels “hurt” by Harry’s description of her in his tell-all memoir as “dangerous” and a “villain.” Harry and his older brother, Prince William, reportedly haven’t spoken since publication of the book, which William viewed as a betrayal. Because he has stepped down as a working royal, Harry will essentially be a spectator at the coronation, and will not join the family in several events.
■ Olivia Wilde accused her ex-boyfriend Jason Sudeikis last week of failing to pay child support for their two kids despite his “significantly superior” income.The actors ended their engagement in 2020, and Wilde, 39, says the Ted Lasso star, 47, has litigated her “into debt” while refusing to share costs for their kids, ages 6 and 8, while they’re with Wilde, apart from splitting the cost of school tuition. Sudeikis’ attorney denied that claim. Days after Wilde’s latest court filing, the two were spotted hugging and chatting at their son’s soccer game. Wilde is requesting $500,000 for legal fees, plus child support paid retroactively.
■ Actor Armie Hammer is under investigation in Los Angeles for sexual assault, CNN reported this week. Hammer, 36, reportedly has been the subject of a probe since February 2021 concerning the alleged rape of his then-girlfriend, who said this week she was “severely traumatized” by Hammer’s physical and emotional abuse. “I feel disgusted that he’s not taking accountability for what he did to me,” the woman, now 24, said. His attorney has called the allegation “outrageous.” Hammer has been accused of inflicting cannibalistic and violent fantasies on women, but insists that all his sexual relationships were “completely consensual.”
