Kate Middleton reportedly “let her hair down” at a music festival last weekend, enjoying dinner and sipping margaritas with her country friends, the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, who have long been the objects of fascination in royal circles and among royal followers because of the longstanding but unsubstantiated rumor that Prince William and the marchioness once became too friendly, or even had an affair.Photos emerged this week on social media of the Princess of Wales in a rare private moment at the Houghton Festival, which was staged on the grounds of the Cholmondeleys’ 1,000-acre estate in Norfolk.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chip Kelly has faced nearly every scenario since becoming UCLA’s coach in 2018. The one thing he didn’t have to worry about, though, was who would play quarterback.After Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s graduation, Kelly enters his sixth season in Westwood with a quarterback competition between four players.Even though Kelly has not named a starter for the Sept. 2 opener against Coastal Carolina, he isn’t overly stressed about it.“Someone has to take a snap on the first drive and tell everyone who that will be,” Kelly said when asked if he was getting closer to a decision.Ethan Garbers and Dante Moore remain among the favorites to win the job. Garbers is in his third season with the program after transferring from Washington in 2021.The redshirt junior has seen action in 11 games over the past two years. Garbers came in late during last year’s Sun Bowl against Pitt and led the Bruins on an eight-play, 70-yard TD drive that gave the Bruins a 35-34 lead with 34 seconds re...
