Harry, Brooklyn And The Epidemic of Family Estrangement

Family drama is having a moment — and not just in your group chats. From the Beckhams' brewing rift (Brooxit, anyone?) to the ongoing Harry and Meghan royal family saga, the epidemic of estrangement has officially gone celebrity.

This week, we unpack the headlines, the heartache, and what happens when family ties unravel in the public eye.

Plus, our weekend recs: a book that brought tears, the most honest portrayal of divorce on screen, and a little dance treat to lift the mood.

And in Best & Worsts: a numb bum, a dog fight, and a chaotic Friday night dinner. It’s all happening.
