Now that he’s stepped back into the role of being a starter, Dalton Risner is working tirelessly to make sure he’s at his best for the Vikings. ADVERTISEMENT That could be easier said than done in the short term. After starting exclusively at left guard since entering the NFL, Risner got the start at right guard for the first time last weekend with the Vikings playing the Tennessee Titans. Though he said he was extremely grateful for the opportunity, Risner also admitted there’s a learning curve now playing a new position. Not that he’s complaining about his place on the offensive line. “It was awesome,” Risner said. “I’m really happy with how I played. A few things to clean up. I think I’ll only continue to get better.” ADVERTISEMENT After rewatching the game, head coach Kevin O’Connell praised Risner for the way he competed in the trenches. “He showed some of that veteran moxie to win some downs that were some hard downs,” O’Connell said. “There are some things he’ll continue to improve with the speed and physicality of it as he finds his groove.” The biggest hurdle for Risner is getting his mind to think in reverse. He has spent so much time at left guard throughout his career that switching over to right guard has forced him out of his comfort zone. “All of it is flip-flopped,” Risner said. “It’s not an easy process.” ADVERTISEMENT It was made even more difficult last weekend with Risner going up against the combination of star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and rookie defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat. “That’s about as good of a pair as we’re going to find in the NFL,” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. “We knew it was going to be a challenge up front with those guys. There are some things we could’ve done better from a technique perspective. We expect these guys to respond.” That includes Risner as the Vikings prepare for the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. As he gains more experience at his new position, his hope is that it becomes second nature to him at some point soon. ADVERTISEMENT “I don’t know how many reps it’ll be or how many games it’ll be,” Risner said. I know I’ll consistently get more and more comfortable there.” Briefly The only player listed as a non-participant on the injury report was tight end Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle). He hasn’t practiced at all this week, so his availability for this weekend is very much up in the air. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. What happened at Enron? Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work and wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four , including , were convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. Is Enron coming back? On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory claiming all birds are actually government surveillance drones. What do former Enron employees think of the company’s return? Peters said she and some other former employees are upset and think the relaunch was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, 74, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. But Sherron Watkins, Enron’s former vice president of corporate development and the main whistleblower who helped uncover the scandal, said she didn’t have a problem with the joke because comedy “usually helps us focus on an uncomfortable historical event that we’d rather ignore.” “I think we use prior scandals to try to teach new generations what can go wrong with big companies,” said Watkins, who still speaks at colleges and conferences about the Enron scandal. __ This story was corrected to fix the spelling of Ken Lay’s first name, which had been misspelled “Key.” ___ Follow Juan A.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani won his third Most Valuable Player Award and first in the National League, and Aaron Judge earned his second American League honor on Thursday. Ohtani was a unanimous MVP for the third time, receiving all 30 first-place votes and 420 points in voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was second with 263 points and Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte third with 229. Judge was a unanimous pick for the first time. Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. got all 30 second-place votes for 270 points, and Yankees outfielder Juan Soto was third with 21 third-place votes and 229 points. Judge had discussed the MVP award with Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper, the NL winner in 2015 and ’21. “I was telling him, `Man, I’m going to try to catch up to you with these MVPs here, man,’” Judge recalled. “He’d say, hopefully, he could stay a couple ahead of me, which I think he’ll do.” Ohtani was unanimously voted the AL MVP in 2021 and 2023 as a two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels and finished second to Judge in 2022 voting . He didn’t pitch in 2024 following elbow surgery and signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers last December. He was the first player to twice become an unanimous MVP. He combined with Atlanta outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. in 2023 for the first year both MVPs were unanimous. Ohtani hit .310, stole 59 bases and led the NL with 54 homers and 130 RBIs exclusively as a designated hitter, becoming the first player with 50 or more homers and 50 or more stolen bases in a season. He helped the Dodgers to the World Series title , playing the final three games with a torn labrum in his left shoulder . Ohtani became the first primary DH to win an MVP. He joined Frank Robinson for Cincinnati in 1961 and Baltimore in 1966 as the only players to win the MVP award in both leagues. Ohtani is the 12th player with three or more MVPs, joining Barry Bonds (seven) and Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Mike Schmidt, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout (three each). Balloting was conducted before the postseason. Judge led the major leagues with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 133 walks while hitting .322. Witt topped the big leagues with a .332 average, hitting 32 homers with 31 stolen bases and 109 RBIs. Soto batted .288 with 41 homers and 109 RBIs. When Judge won his first MVP award in 2022, he received 28 first-place votes while Ohtani got the other two. When Judge won his first MVP award in 2022, he received 28 first-place votes while Ohtani got the other two. He is the Yankees' 22nd MVP winner, four more than any other team. Judge was hitting .207 with six homers and 18 RBIs through April, then batted .352 with 52 homers and 126 RBIs in 127 games. “March and April were not my friend this year.” Judge said. “Just keep putting in the work and things are going to change. You can’t mope. You can’t feel sorry for yourself. Especially in New York, nobody’s going to feel sorry for you. So you just got to go out there and put up the numbers?” Balloting was conducted before the postseason. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB Ronald Blum, The Associated Press
SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Macy's, Inc. - MTravis Hunter is headed to New York City. Hunter on Monday was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, the most prestigious individual award in college football. Hunter is looking to become the second player in Buffaloes history to win the Heisman after the late Rashaan Salaam in 1994. He's the fourth finalist in CU history, joining Salaam, Eric Bieniemy (1990) and Darian Hagan (1989). CU teammate Shedeur Sanders did not make the finalists cut. Joining Hunter are Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Miami quarterback Cam Ward. Hunter remains the overwhelming favorite on the betting markets. On offense, Hunter led the Buffs in catches (92), receiving yards (1,152) and receiving touchdowns (14), the last of which was a single-season program record. He ranked first, second and first in those three categories, respectively, in the Big 12 and was first-team all-conference at wide receiver. But the reason Hunter remains the favorite to win the award is because he was also first-team all-Big 12 at cornerback and was the league's Defensive Player of the Year after racking up 31 tackles, one for loss, four interceptions, 11 pass breakups and one forced fumble. Hunter appeared in all 12 regular season games during CU's 9-3 campaign but missed a full four quarters across two games. Colorado junior cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter celebrates a touchdown with his teammates during the second half of a game against Oklahoma State at Folsom Field on Friday, Nov. 29, 2024 (Stephen Swofford, Denver Gazette) The likely challenger to Hunter for the award is Jeanty, the Boise State star who led the Broncos to a Mountain West championship and the No. 3 seed in the College Football Playoff. The junior has put up numbers rivaled by the all-time great running backs in college football history. Through 13 games, Jeanty has 2,497 yards on over 7 yards per carry to go with 30 total touchdowns (29 rushing, 1 receiving). He is just 132 rushing yards away from breaking the single-season record set by Oklahoma State's Barry Sanders in 1988. Jeanty will get his chance to become the new single-season rushing king against either No. 6 Penn State or No. 11 SMU in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Eve. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty reacts after scoring a touchdown during the second half of an NCAA college football game against San Jose State, Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024, in San Jose, Calif. (AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vásquez) Gabriel led the Ducks to the No. 1 overall seed in the CFP and a 13-0 record, which included a Big Ten championship in the program's first season in the conference. Through 13 games, he's thrown for 3,558 yards and 28 touchdowns while completing over 73% of his passes. Now in his sixth season of college football across three schools, Gabriel has thrown for over 18,000 passing yards and is fewer than 800 yards away from breaking Case Keenum's career passing record — a record he may set if Oregon makes it all the way to the national championship game on Jan. 20. If Hunter wins the Heisman, he'll become just the second defensive player to win the award and the first since Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson won it in 1997. Woodson is also the only current winner to have played significant snaps on both sides of the ball, but his offensive production was nowhere near Hunter's from this season. In 1997, Woodson had 11 catches for 231 yards and two touchdowns, to go with three carries for 15 yards and a touchdown on the ground — which is 81 catches, 921 yards and 12 total touchdowns fewer than Hunter. Woodson did serve as Michigan's primary punt returner, something Hunter did not do, and had 33 returns for 283 yards and a touchdown on special teams. Former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, now with the Washington Commanders, is the reigning Heisman winner. Former Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith is the last non-quarterback to win the award and the only non-quarterback or running back to win since Woodson. The Buffs made a strong push to get Sanders to join Hunter as a finalist for the Heisman. Hunter said his quarterback and close friend is invited regardless, but Sanders won't have an empty trophy case as he recently accepted the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award for the nation's top quarterback last weekend in Baltimore. Sanders is also a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award, also given to the nation's best quarterback, and the winner will be announced at 7 p.m. Thursday during the 34th annual college football awards show on ESPN. Hunter is also a finalist for several awards announced that night, including the Maxwell Award for the overall player of the year, the Chuck Bednarik Award for the top defensive player and the Biletnikoff Award for the top wide receiver. On Monday, he was given the Lott IMPACT Trophy, which is given to the top defensive player in college football according to their athletic ability on the field and character off of it.

China's expanding navy has added to its capability with a new-generation amphibious assault ship that can launch and land fighter jets. The Sichuan, the nation's largest combat ship in the world's largest navy, was launched Friday in a ceremony at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in Shanghai, reports. The ship is built to deliver ground troops for combat and provide air support for them. An electromagnetic catapult lets fighter jets launch directly from the Sichuan's deck, per the state news agency Xinhua, and "arrestor technology" enables the jets land on the deck. The USS Gerald R Ford is the only other warship in service with the catapult technology. That system allows Type 076 ships, of which the Sichuan is the first, to launch larger, heavier aircraft—which can carry more fuel and missiles and have a greater operating range, per . The People's Liberation Navy is more than a decade into its modernization effort, which includes developing a fleet that can operate globally—as can the 11 US nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. China's ongoing maritime disputes include several in the South China sea and a conflict with Japan over the Senkaku Islands. And its navy has become increasingly active around Taiwan. The launch of the Sichuan—which is slated for sea trials before going into active service—also sends a message, said a military analyst and former US Navy captain, per CNN. "It demonstrates China's growing maritime power projection capability at a time when the US Navy's commitment and capability for expeditionary, amphibious, and humanitarian assistance missions has diminished significantly," said Carl Schuster.

(AP) — Aidan Bouman threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Javion Phelps with 12 seconds left and South Dakota defeated FCS top-ranked North Dakota State 29-28 on Saturday to claim a share of its first Missouri Valley Football Conference championship. The Coyotes (9-2, 7-1) trailed 28-17 when Bouman threw deep to Jack Martens for a 40-yard touchdown with 3:22 remaining. They got the ball back with 1:16 left and six plays later Bouman was sacked.

The Coyotes took a 14-0 lead on two Travis Theis rushing touchdowns but the Bison (10-2, 7-1) tied the game with two scores in the final 2:26 of the first half, a 23-yard pass from Cam Miller to Braylon Henderson and a 3-yard TD run by Miller. Miller scored from 2 yards out late in the third quarter and CharMar Brown completed a 20-play, 99-yard drive that took nearly 11 minutes with a 1-yard score for a 28-17 Bison lead with just over four minutes to go.

Gatineau teen charged with attempted murderMichigan, Ohio State fight broken up with police pepper spray after Wolverines stun Buckeyes 13-10CINCINNATI — An Over-the-Rhine restaurant is once again getting national acclaim. Wildweed , which is located at the corner of Walnut Street and E 13th Street, has been named among Esquire's "The Best New Restaurants in America, 2024." Wildweed opened its brick-and-mortar restaurant at the end of July 2024 , but the restaurant began in 2019 as a food pop-up at Oakley Wines under the moniker Sunday Sauce. Over the years, the restaurant's menu — fitted with a variety of hand-formed pastas — evolved under the leadership of founders David and Lydia Jackman. The restaurant now offers a seasonally-driven menu in its dining room and a 12-seat chef's counter, showcasing a daily menu of a dozen or so dishes centered on seven ingredients. According to Esquire, Wildweed "represents a soaring ode to a region whose culinary virtues have been overlooked for too long." "In a heartland that can feel as though it has been overtaken by corporate chains, the Jackmans have spent six years promoting an alternative vision of midwestern cuisine," Esquire's Joshua David Stein wrote. David Jackman said they're grateful to represent the community. "Any opportunity we have to shine a spotlight on the community that welcomed us so openly is an honor," David Jackman said in a statement. Wildweed also posted to social media to celebrate the honor. "An even bigger thank you to every single person on our team that does their part to make this restaurant greater than the sum of its parts," the post continues. "We couldn't imagine a more supportive community to be a part of." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wildweed (@wildweed.cinci) Esquire's honor comes after Wildweed received praise earlier this year from Bon Appetit. In June, the food magazine named Wildweed among its "8 Must-Visit New Restaurants to Try This Summer."

Checking in with Bachelor Nation favorites during the holidaysBy Lizette Chapman | Bloomberg Software company Palantir Technologies and Costa Mesa-based weapons maker Anduril Industries plan to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence in the US military and are inviting other companies to join the effort. Under an agreement announced Friday, battlefield information created by sensors, vehicles, robots and weapons will be collected by Anduril’s Lattice software and then pulled into a secure Palantir platform that will prepare the data for use in AI training and development. The data gathered would include information classified at the highest levels of secrecy. The move is the latest in a series of partnerships announced by defense tech companies this week seeking to put AI technology to greater use in military applications. On Wednesday, Anduril unveiled plans to work with OpenAI on anti-drone systems, and Palantir on Thursday signed an accord with Shield AI to collaborate on autonomous flight systems. The agreements highlight the growing importance of artificial intelligence to the US military as it seeks to maintain an edge over China and other adversaries, creating an opening for contractors to deliver new technology. Palantir’s partnership with Anduril builds on years of coordination between the two companies backed by billionaire venture investor Peter Thiel and signals an expansion of Silicon Valley’s role in reshaping the US defense industry. Earlier this year, Palantir won the US Army’s Titan contract, making it the first software company to win a prime contract and propelling its government business past analyst estimates. The Denver-based company, co-founded by Thiel in 2003, has seen huge demand for its AI products from both commercial and government customers, sending its shares soaring. At more than $173 billion, its market capitalization now surpasses that of Lockheed Martin Corp. Co-founded by early Palantir employee and Founders Fund General Partner Trae Stephens, Anduril sells its reusable rockets, drones and submarines and related software platform Lattice to the US and allied countries. Investors last valued it at $14 billion on expectations of continued growth in those sectors as it builds a factory to increase production while exploring new growth areas. Last month, it won a contract with the US Space Command. Despite progress by startups like Anduril in winning defense dollars, venture-backed startups are far from replacing legacy defense contractors. Elon Musk’s SpaceX won more than 80% of all government spending awarded to startups tracked by the Silicon Valley Defense Group, according to a report earlier this year that doesn’t include Palantir because it is public. Executives from companies including Palantir and Anduril along with Musk have called for changes in how the Defense Department purchases weapons and other technology to be faster, cheaper and more streamlined. Musk, the world’s richest man, was asked by President-elect Donald Trump to co-chair an advisory panel to make the US government more efficient. In announcing their new AI effort Friday, Palantir and Anduril described it as a consortium they intend to eventually expand to other industry partners. “No single company is capable of delivering on the promise of AI for national security,” they said in their announcement. “It takes a team of companies that are willing and able to ensure that the U.S. government remains the world leader in fielding advanced technologies that keep our citizens safe.” Related Articles Business | Can AI chatbots make your holiday shopping easier?

Fast forward to now, the answer is neither. Instead, the 17-year-old is crafting out a unique career for herself on social media and actually drawing inspiration from outside of the family. 10 Princess Andre is following a five-step plan to become the next Molly-Mae Credit: Instagram 10 Both influencers have hoards of female fans tuning in to their social media posts Credit: Instagram 10 Princess, 17, shared these images on Instagram earlier this week Credit: Instagram 10 Self-confessed "cosy girl" Molly-Mae shared similar snaps with a similar vibe Credit: Instagram The teen influencer has a whopping 733,000 followers on Instagram, and is often regarded as a “real life princess by fans”. The clue's in the name, we guess. Some supporters have also compared her to influencer royalty, Molly-Mae Hague, 25. The symmetry between both girls stretches beyond their looks, though - and it’s likely Princess has studied Molly-Mae’s spectacular rise to fame. Mum-of-one Molly-Mae starred in the fifth series of the ITV2 dating reality television show Love Island back in 2018. read more on fab celebs ROYAL DIARIES Kim Kardashian is copying Princess Di to secure her 'legacy', experts claim FOOTLOOSE How to rock the leggy trend stars like Louise Redknapp are making sexy in winter Since then, she’s become Britain’s most recognisable influencer with 8.3 million Instagram followers and an estimated net worth of £6 million. Her ascent from reality star to British Vogue interviewee is a path that Princess can easily replicate, experts believe. “Princess has parents who are commercially aware and have been in the public eye since they were young,” Pam Lyddon, publicist at Bright Star Digital, tells Fabulous. “I suspect they have given her great advice and looked to Molly-Mae for inspiration.” Most read in Celebrity COL'S PLAN Coleen Rooney is trying to rebrand Wayne in IAC, says body language pro JAB MANIA From sunken eyes to bulldog features - the scary things Ozempic does to your face SON'S STRUGGLE Katie Price shares heartbreaking message from Harvey as he begs to come home MONEY TALKS I was a millionaire by age 12 - I paid my parents salary & sister's allowance And while most influencers don’t have a big plan and instead try to cram as many deals in as possible, Pam believes that “it’s obvious that Princess has a clear vision”. This vision is expected to help her achieve her goal of having £1 million in the bank by age 20, something which she revealed as our cover star in October . Peter Andre as he opens up about life as a family of five and Junior and Princess on music and modelling “She’s in this for the long run,” Pam says. “And when the time is right, I’m sure she’ll start to expand elsewhere to increase her profile.” Molly-Mae was candid about her “game plan” after leaving the iconic ITV villa in summer 2018. So, it's likely Princess is adapting that strategy to secure herself as influencer royalty too- and there's five obvious steps that experts have pointed out. 1: Going Au Naturel Molly-Mae executed a dermal and lip filler U-turn in 2020 when she decided to get everything dissolved after being trolled for looking like an “Xbox controller” and being facially “warped”. Now, the mum-of-one is proudly more natural in her appearance after admitting to “making that many mistakes when she was younger” when it came to aesthetic tweakments. Princess isn’t anti-filler per se, but it’s not something she ever plans to experiment with - a far cry from her mum and more in keeping with Molly-Mae’s current stance . Katie has said in the past she reckons her 17 boob jobs and everything else in between - including face lifts, fillers, fox eye threads and more - has put Princess off going under the knife for life. What has Katie said about Princess getting surgery? MUM-of-five Katie Price has previously said it is "normal "Princess doesn't want any surgery and she doesn't need it either," Katie told OK! Magazine . "I know people say I didn't need it, but I'm in my forties and I want it and I'll do it. "[Princess] has seen me have enough done to put her off. "Surgery is just the norm for my kids, the amount of times they've seen their mum get it. "If I haven't put them off, then I don't know what will!" “I think it’s important, especially for the younger generation on social media, to embrace natural beauty,” Princess told Fabulous . “I don’t change my opinion of someone if they choose to have surgery. “Yes, I do know people who want to do that, but it’s just not something I want to do.” According to PR expert Luana, refusing botox and fillers is a great move for Princess’ influencer career as it’s something that helped catapult Molly-Mae’s popularity. 10 Princess, pictured at The Pride of Britain Awards 2024, doesn't plan to get any tweakments done when she turns 18 Credit: Getty 10 Molly-Mae famously began dissolving her dermal and lip fillers at the start of 2020 Credit: Getty 10 The young influencer was trolled for "looking like an Xbox controller" at the peak of her filler era Credit: YouTube “Challenging unrealistic standards and promoting self acceptance will be a winner among her target audience,” she predicts. “They may benefit from the encouragement to embrace and love their natural features without feeling pressure to conform to a specific look.” 2: Brand Partnerships Molly-Mae was fast fashion brand PrettyLittleThing’s core brand ambassador after leaving Love Island. She was then infamously promoted to Creative Director in August 2021, before stepping down from the position in June 2023 to focus on being a mum. Interestingly, Princess has been building a relationship with the Manchester-based brand since April 2023. The teen has been invited to a number of its star-studded events, shopped in its Los Angeles showroom and promoted outfits from the brand on social media. 10 Princess works closely with fast fashion giant, PrettyLittleThing Credit: Splash 10 Molly-Mae was the e-retail giant's Creative Director between 2021 and 2023 Credit: Rex But one PR expert has issued her a warning for "mimicking" Molly-Mae’s fame strategy to a T. When looking at her plan to partner with PrettyLittleThing, Princess needs to consider partnerships with those who match her brand values,” comments Luana Ribeira, founder of Dauntless PR. “She needs to work out who is a fit audience-wise rather than just mimicking what Molly-Mae did.” 3: Style Stealing Molly-Mae is a self-confessed cosy girl. Her Instagram grid comes to life in autumn and winter, with the mum-of-one holding an unparalleled ability to sell out any jacket on the high street. She’s famed for posing in Uggs, dark-toned loungewear sets, tracksuits and oversized scarves. A quick glance at Princess’ grid this winter proves that her fashion taste leans into the Molly-Mae hype. 10 Princess' fashion very much emulates Molly-Mae vibes Credit: Instagram Earlier this week, the teen beamed about “cosy season” as she posed in a brown loungewear set and leather jacket. Of course, all three items are from PrettyLittleThing. One fan commented: “Very autumnal. Looking on point young lady.” Another quipped: “You’re a beautiful girl, never change a thing.” 4: Relatability Princess isn’t your typical influencer - or nepo baby, a label she’s given due to having famous parents but not once she’s bothered by. She’s long been in the spotlight and was thrust onto the nation’s screens as a newborn in her parents’ ITV reality series, Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries. But that hasn’t stopped her from striving to be relatable on social media - the same winning strategy that Molly-Mae employs in her YouTube vlogs and Instagram stories. “Princess is very privileged but her content comes across as family and home-loving,” tells publicist Pam Lyddon. “And that’s very relatable.” Princess is very privileged but her content comes across as family and home-loving Pam Lyddon publicist From showcasing inside her messy make-up drawer (which it’s worth noting is full of products cheaper than a tenner ) to snaps from family dinners and looking after her younger siblings , the teen is appealing to an audience who want ‘realness’ from influencers. Away from the whirlwind of photoshoots and red-carpet events, Princess is one of eight siblings in a big, blended family. Her dad Peter married doctor Emily MacDonagh , 35, in 2015, and they have three children together: Amelia, 10, Theo, seven, and six-month-old Arabella. Katie had two - Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10 - with now-ex Kieran Hayler as well as Harvey, her 22-year-old son from a relationship with former footballer Dwight Yorke . 5: Building Brands Princess founded a small-time jewellery brand, named Sparkle, when she was just 16-years-old. Similarly, Molly-Mae launched fake tan brand Filter shortly after her Love Island stint. The beauty label, which initially started as a single mousse product, now flogs spritz, drops, tonics and scrubs - and is stocked in Selfridges and Boots. This business growth isn’t out of the picture for Princess, according to PR expert Luana. “Launching her own brand, in her own style, and selling what she is passionate about is a great idea,” she tells Fabulous.
