Princess Diana's Quest for Normal Childhood MomentsIn the 1990s, Diana used outings and familiar meals to bring everyday life to princes William and Harry amidst royal duties.
- Princess Diana took her sons to McDonald's and theme parks to provide a sense of normalcy in their unusual royal upbringing.
- Former royal chef Darren McGrady highlighted that these outings were deliberate efforts to give the boys typical childhood experiences.
- Weekend meals at Kensington Palace shifted from healthy dishes to child-friendly favorites like pizza and chicken nuggets.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: axios.com
- President Trump described the slowdown at US ports due to his tariffs on China as a 'good thing.'

- Republicans are feeling increasing pressure as the tariffs strain the business climate, with some donors urging lawmakers to persuade Trump to moderate his stance.
- Trump's assertion that he loses less money due to the tariffs contradicts concerns over impending economic challenges.
That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing.— Donald Trump discussing the slowdown at U.S. ports and its economic implications.
