Jelly Roll sends a political message while accepting his Grammy award

Justin Bieber made the Grammy Awards feel just like home Sunday as he paraded around stage wearing just his underwear.

Bieber, 31, looped together instrumentals while singing his “Yukon” hit from his seventh studio album, “Swag,” in a pair of silky blue boxers covered in crystals.

Later in the night, Jelly Roll sent a political message while accepting the award for Best Contemporary Country Album for “Beautifully Broken,” as he declared, “Jesus is not owned by any political party.”

“Jesus, I hear you, and I am listening Lord,” he said on stage. “I want to thank my beautiful wife.”

“I believed that music had a power to change my life and God had the power to change my life,” he continued. “Jesus is Jesus and anyone can have a relationship with him.”

NICKI MINAJ CALLS HERSELF TRUMP’S ‘NO. 1 FAN’ AS HAND HOLDING MOMENT GOES VIRAL AT TREASURY EVENT

Earlier in the show, host Trevor Noah took aim at Nicki Minaj’s new association with President Donald Trump while opening the 68th annual Grammy Awards Sunday in Los Angeles, Calif.

After welcoming Justin and Hailey Bieber, Billie Eilish, Pharrell Williams and Tyler the Creator to the 2026 Grammy Awards at Crypto.com Arena, Noah assured the crowd, “Nicki Minaj is not here.” 

As the audience erupted in cheers, Noah added, “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump, discussing very important issues.”

The former Daily Show host impersonated Trump during his sixth and final run as host, and said, “Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest a–. I know they say it’s you, but it’s me.”

Minaj and Trump went viral Wednesday after they were photographed holding hands at the U.S. Treasury Department’s Trump Accounts Summit.

The “Super Bass” singer also called herself Trump’s “number one fan.”

Representatives for the White House and Minaj did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Some fans weren’t too pleased with Noah’s jokes and pleaded with the Grammys to re-evaluate hosting responsibilities. 

“Who keeps picking him as a host?? Give us variety please and it’s music not politics,” one user wrote on Instagram.

Justin and Hailey Bieber were just two of the stars wearing “Ice Out” buttons while walking the red carpet Sunday to protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE.)

Best New Artist winner Olivia Dean was overcome with emotions as she accepted her award on stage. The “Man I Need” singer honored her family in a poignant immigration statement.

“I’m up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant,” Dean said while holding her Grammy. “I wouldn’t be here – I’m a product of bravery and I think those people need to be celebrated. So ya, we’re nothing without each other.”

Bad Bunny, who’s scheduled to perform during the halftime show at Super Bowl LX next weekend, protested immigration efforts while accepting his Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE out,” he pleaded from the stage. “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens — we are humans, and we are Americans.”

Bad Bunny pleaded for unity and said that “the only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.”

“We have to be different,” he said. “If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it — with love. Don’t forget that, please. Thank you. Thank you, God, and thank you to the Grammys.”

Later in the evening, the “Ojitos Lindos” singer dedicated his album of the year award “to all of the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams.”

Kendrick Lamar leads nominations with nine nods, and won the Best Rap album award at the beginning of the Paramount+ live telecast. He is followed closely by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and Cirkut who each have seven nominations.

Each best new artist nominee performed Sunday, including Leon Thomas, Olivia Dean, Katseye, The Marías, Addison Rae, sombr, Alex Warren and Lola Young. 

Justin Bieber returned to the stage Sunday as a scheduled performer, in addition to Bruno Mars, Rosé, Tyler, the Creator, Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse and Pharrell Williams.

Larry Krasner vows to pursue federal agents criminally after Trump term ends

Soros-backed Democratic prosecutor Larry Krasner is facing criticism for his inflammatory remarks against federal immigration enforcement, with a Republican lawmaker urging the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation after Krasner said he would “hunt down” ICE agents.

Krasner, the district attorney for Philadelphia, took to the podium at Penn Square last week to denounce ICE agents as “a small bunch of wannabe Nazis,” adding, “if we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.”

House Intelligence Committee member Greg Steube, R-Fla., called out Krasner and recommended that Attorney General Pam Bondi take a closer look at his ever-escalating remarks on the issue.

Steube cited federal code categorizing threatening a federal officer as a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

FEDERAL PROSECUTORS OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO WALZ, FREY OVER ALLEGED IMPEDING OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

“The DOJ should absolutely arrest and convict this guy,” he said.

Krasner previously said he would seek to arrest and prosecute federal agents who “come to Philly to commit crimes” — in an apparent reference to allegations that law enforcement acted unlawfully when shooting a Minnesota woman who appeared to intentionally hit one of them with her car while disrupting an operation.

In the remarks that drew Steube’s ire, Krasner boasted that the 350 million Americans who live in the U.S. outnumber the “small bunch of wannabe Nazis” before offering to work with other states’ prosecutors to pursue them criminally after President Donald Trump’s term ends.

TRUMP-ERA ICE AGENTS TARGETED FOR ‘IMMORALITY’ BY DEM TRYING TO BLACKLIST THEM FROM COP, CLASSROOM JOBS

Fox News Digital reached out to the Justice Department to ask whether it planned to follow Steube’s recommendation, but received no response. A White House official who was asked about the situation directed Fox News Digital back to the DOJ.

Krasner also earned a rebuke from his own party, as Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro told Fox News that such remarks are “unacceptable… abhorrent and it is wrong; period; hard-stop; end of sentence.”

“We have a psychopath with a badge,” fellow Pennsylvanian Rep. Dan Meuser, a Dallas Republican, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

DHS SHARES OBSCENE, THREATENING VOICEMAIL SENT TO ICE AGENT, BLAMING LOCAL POLS FOR ‘INCITEMENT’

Meuser condemned Krasner for repeatedly failing to prosecute actual violent criminals, citing a reported prosecution rate of 30% for such crimes.

“Every responsible Democrat must condemn this behavior. Failure to do so only increases the temperature in an already volatile situation, endangering federal law enforcement and communities alike,” he said, adding that Senate Democrats are borrowing Krasner’s “reckless political playbook” in using DHS funding as a cudgel in government-shutdown negotiations.

Meuser quipped that many critics rightly dub Krasner “Let ‘Em Go Larry” for his position toward prosecution of suspects who aren’t members of federal immigration enforcement.

Meuser has been at the forefront of calling out prosecutors for their actions and statements, authoring the Holding Prosecutors Accountable Act, which would make district attorney offices that fail to prosecute at least two-thirds of arrests ineligible for certain Justice Department grants.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin was asked about Steube’s call and said that Krasner’s comments were “vile.”

WHITE HOUSE BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR ICE VIOLENCE AS MINNEAPOLIS ERUPTS, INSURRECTION ACT THREAT LOOMS

“He is intentionally stoking the flames of hatred and division in this country for political gain. Calling law enforcement Nazis and encouraging violence and doxing of them is absolutely disgusting,” she said, citing the 1,300% increase in assaults against ICE.

“The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop,” McLaughlin said, adding that Krasner should instead be thanking ICE for removing several dangerous illegal immigrants from the Delaware Valley itself.

She cited Yehi Badawi from Egypt, who was convicted of aggravated assault and robbery; Cuban national Alan De Armas-Tundidor, a convicted drug trafficker; and Thanh Long Huynh of Vietnam, who was convicted of both rape and cocaine distribution.

In recent comments to Fox News Digital, another top Pennsylvania Republican who taught relevant subjects at the U.S. Army War College, said the federal supremacy clause would likely moot any actions by Krasner or Philadelphia against ICE agents following lawful federal orders.

“The Constitution is not optional,” said state Sen. Doug Mastriano of Gettysburg, who ran against Shapiro in 2022.

State Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee Chairman Jarrett Coleman, an Allentown Republican whose panel oversees local-state-federal interactions, told Fox News Digital earlier this month that claims Philadelphia officials can intercede with federal immigration enforcement are “empty threats.”

DHS PUNCHES BACK AT MOULTON FOR ‘INCITING RIOTERS’ WITH ‘GROSS’ ICE REMARKS

“If they do obstruct federal law enforcement efforts, the Pennsylvania Senate will be the least of their worries,” he said, later remarking that if Krasner paid more attention to actual violence, “Philadelphia wouldn’t be such a s—hole.”

Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros, a far-left funder of many allegedly soft-on-crime prosecutors in localities around the country, dumped $1.7 million into Krasner’s 2017 election, according to Philadelphia’s PBS affiliate.

Philadelphia City Council Minority Leader Kendra Brooks, of the left-wing Working Families Party, and Democrat Rue Landau also authored legislation intended to limit ICE operations within city limits.

Musk warns AI revolution will make retirement accounts ‘worthless.’ That’s risky advice

Billionaire Elon Musk recently told people not to worry about “squirreling” money away for retirement because advances in artificial intelligence would supposedly make savings irrelevant in the next 10 to 20 years.

Let me translate that into plain financial English: Don’t bother preparing for your future because robots and automation will take care of it.

That may sound exciting on a podcast. Even my own “Red, White, and Green” podcast. It may even sound comforting to those who don’t have a 401(k) plan.

But for everyday Americans trying to plan their financial lives, it’s reckless advice.

AMERICANS HAVE NEVER HAD ACCESS TO MORE LUXURIES, BUT WHY DO WE FEEL SO POOR?

Here’s why.

First, Musk is a visionary entrepreneur. He’s also worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Somewhere between $600 billion to $750 billion depending on the day. Those two facts matter. When you already have generational wealth, it’s easy to talk about a future where money doesn’t matter. Most families don’t have that luxury when many are just scraping by the promise of Social Security in the future is an unknown.

Your retirement isn’t a science experiment. It’s groceries. It’s housing. It’s healthcare. It’s dignity.

REMOVE YOUR DATA TO PROTECT YOUR RETIREMENT FROM SCAMMERS

Those bills don’t wait for AI. Those bills can’t be picked up by Tesla.

Musk’s argument rests on a futuristic idea that artificial intelligence and robotics will create so much productivity that scarcity disappears. In this world, goods become cheap, income becomes universal and money loses importance.

That’s an interesting theory. However, since the dawn of time money and power have always mattered.

TRUMP’S 401(K) PLAN TRIES TO FIX HOUSING CRISIS. IT’S A FULL-BLOWN RETIREMENT DISASTER

And it’s certainly not a financial plan.

It assumes three massive things all happen perfectly: technology advances on schedule (that would be a first), wealth gets broadly distributed, and government systems adapt smoothly. History tells us that technological revolutions don’t spread benefits evenly, and they usually concentrate wealth first and fix inequality later if they ever do at all. Just ask Musk.

Ask factory workers displaced by automation. Ask retail employees replaced by self-checkout. Ask taxi drivers competing with ride-sharing apps.

‘SPAVING’ IS NOT SAVING. IT COULD COST YOU UP TO $50,000 OUT OF YOUR RETIREMENT

Technology doesn’t automatically equal financial security.

Meanwhile, back here in reality, Americans are facing rising healthcare costs, expensive housing, stubborn inflation and record household debt. Social Security already faces long-term funding challenges. Pensions are disappearing. Many workers don’t even have access to employer retirement plans.

That’s the environment people are retiring into right now. It’s not utopia.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR 401(K) PLAN FROM IDENTITY FRAUD

Musk’s argument rests on a futuristic idea that artificial intelligence and robotics will create so much productivity that scarcity disappears. 

And here’s the most dangerous part of Musk’s message as a person giving financial advice for almost 35 years … it encourages people to delay action.

If someone in their 30s or 40s hears this and decides to stop contributing to their 401(k), skip their Roth IRA or pay down their mortgage, that lost time compounds forever. You lose that snowball effect. Compound interest works best when you start early, not when you’re hoping Silicon Valley saves you.

Hope is not a strategy.

LAID OFF? HERE’S WHY LOSING YOUR JOB MIGHT BE THE BEST BREAK OF YOUR LIFE

Let’s do some simple math. A 40-year-old who stops saving for 10 years waiting for an AI miracle could easily miss out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in future retirement income. That’s not theoretical. That’s real money driven by real market returns.

Even if AI dramatically reshapes the economy, and it likely will, money will always buy something incredibly valuable called optionality. The ability to have choices.

Savings give you flexibility. They give you independence. They give you negotiating power over how you live, where you live and when you stop working. They protect you from medical surprises, job disruptions, market downturns and policy changes.

HOW TO SAFEGUARD YOUR CREDIT SCORE IN RETIREMENT AS FRAUD AND IDENTITY THEFT RISE AMONG SENIORS

A future with advanced technology doesn’t eliminate risk. It changes the shape of it.

And let’s be honest about something else. Even in Musk’s dream world, someone still controls the machines. Someone still owns the platforms. Someone still collects the profits. Betting that those gains will automatically flow to everyone equally is optimistic at best.

And here’s the most dangerous part of Musk’s message as a person giving financial advice for almost 35 years … it encourages people to delay action.

So should people planning for retirement take Musk seriously?

TRUMP BROKE HIS PROMISE TO PROTECT A LIFELINE FOR 71 MILLION AMERICANS

As a dream experiment? Sure.

As day-to-day financial guidance? Not a chance.

Here’s my takeaway from all of this.

Keep funding your retirement accounts. Take the free employer match. Build your emergency reserve. Invest consistently on a monthly basis. Reduce high-interest debt. Diversify your assets and review your plan annually.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION

If AI creates abundance someday, great. You’ll enter that future with real assets and not real anxiety.

But if it doesn’t arrive on schedule or doesn’t benefit everyone equally, you’ll be very glad you didn’t outsource your retirement to a prediction made by Elon.

Hundreds of anti-ICE agitators shut down city streets, confront federal agents

Hundreds of protesters opposing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) marched through downtown Portland on Sunday, temporarily shutting down roads as they walked from City Hall to a detention facility in the South Waterfront.

Video from Fox 12 Oregon captured demonstrators carrying signs urging ICE to leave the city and calling for accountability in the January deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, both of whom were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

The local station reported that Portland Contra Las Deportaciones, an immigrant rights organization, held a rally at City Hall in the afternoon before marching to the ICE facility.

“People are outraged, and I think people are seeing that, you know, our leaders have routes that they could be taking,” said Cami Saunders of Portland Contra las Deportaciones.

Footage from the scene showed federal agents firing tear gas and pepper balls at protesters as they stood outside the entrance to the facility, which has been used as an ICE field office since 2011.

“About eight or 10 of them came out with guns, whatever kind of guns they have and flash bombed, just started throwing them at the crowd – just exploding everywhere. It was like a war zone,” said a female protester who was only identified as Robin.

“It felt like we were under attack. I definitely got hit. I had to run around the corner and pour a bunch of water on my face,” she told Fox 12.

“The use of tear gas against families, children, and peaceful demonstrators yesterday is a horrific abuse of authority that undermines public safety and violates constitutional rights,” she wrote in a post on X. “Federal agents must stand down and be held accountable.”

According to the City of Portland government website, the ICE facility includes a processing center where federal officers detain and interview individuals to determine their legal status, as well as offices where immigrants meet with ICE officials as part of the citizenship process.

The facility is guarded by officers from the Federal Protective Service, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, rather than Portland Police, though local officers may patrol surrounding streets for public safety.

Ethan Hawke ‘angry’ with Tom Cruise, says he’s ‘changed what’s expected for actors’

Ethan Hawke revealed that he has grown “angry” with Tom Cruise, explaining that the “Mission: Impossible” star’s high-risk stunt work has changed what audiences and studios expect from actors across Hollywood.

The 55-year-old actor appeared at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to promote his new movie “The Weight,” which premiered on Jan. 26. During an interview with Variety, Hawke, who performed most of his own stunts in the Depression-era action-drama, expressed his view that Cruise has raised the bar for actors when it comes to performing their own stunts, a shift that he finds frustrating.

“Tom Cruise has totally changed what’s expected for actors. Some part of me is getting angry over the years because everyone somehow feels like they’re less if they use a stunt team,” Hawke said. 

TOM CRUISE TURNED DOWN SPACE FILM BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT TO ASK FOR TRUMP’S HELP, REPORT SAYS

“What I liked about our movie is that there were no ridiculous stunts,” he said of “The Weight.”

“It’s human. It’s not about things blowing up, so most of the stunts were things we could do,” Hawke added. “They weren’t superhero things.”

While Cruise, 63, has never appeared in a superhero movie from Marvel, DC or any other comic-book franchise, the actor cemented his status as an action movie icon by insisting on performing increasingly dangerous, real-world stunts himself in blockbuster franchises including “Mission: Impossible,” “Top Gun” and “Jack Reacher.” 

“Mission: Impossible” director Christopher McQuarrie has previously said that the actor has “no limits” when it comes to the dangerous feats he attempts to accomplish.

Some of Cruise’s most jaw-dropping stunts include hanging onto the outside of an airplane during takeoff, free-falling from a helicopter, climbing the world’s tallest building and riding a motorcycle off a cliff before base-jumping into a ravine.

While speaking with Variety alongside Hawke, “The Weight” director Padraic McKinley interjected to say the actor was downplaying the scale of his physical effort.

“Ethan is not saying that he did every single stunt, including driving those old cars with insane clutches,” said McKinley, who previously worked with Hawke on the Western film “The Good Lord Bird.”

“He did every single one, except one little wide shot after he almost tore his hamstring off the bone,” he added.

“The Weight,” which is set in 1933 Oregon, follows widower Samuel Murphy (Hawke), who is separated from his daughter and sent to a brutal work camp. To earn his freedom and a chance to reunite with his child, he agrees to a perilous mission to smuggle gold across dangerous wilderness terrain under the watch of a labor camp warden.

Hawke’s stunt work for the movie included navigating rugged wilderness terrain, enduring prolonged exposure to cold and water — including holding his breath underwater in a freezing river — engaging in intense physical confrontations and handling period vehicles under tough conditions.

The five-time Oscar nominee also reflected on why he was drawn to the project, saying he connected with his character’s determination to cross great distances and endure brutal conditions to be reunited with his daughter.

Hawke — father to daughter Maya, 27, and son Levon, 24, with ex-wife Uma Thurman, and daughters Clementine, 17, and Indiana, 14, with his wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke — told Variety that he drew on some of his own experiences as a parent to portray Samuel. 

“It’s about love. That’s what makes the script timeless,” Hawke said. “Some of the best action movies of all time are oriented about something real.”

One slice of Florida is quietly delivering massive home returns right now

Sunshine, low taxes and luxury living continue to draw wealthy buyers to Florida — and one city in particular is reaping the rewards.

New housing data from GOBankingRates reveals the top five towns across Florida that have become the fastest-growing home-value markets, fueled by strong demand and limited supply.

In Palm Beach, homeowners have seen their property values more than double — with the average home now worth about $9.8 million. The data show a 1.5% increase over the past year and a 118.2% jump over five years, making Palm Beach the top spot for those seeking the highest return on investment.

“Previous cycles in Palm Beach were largely tied to broader economic expansions or speculative waves. What’s different this time is the permanence,” Douglas Elliman Exclusive Group’s Nick Malinosky told Fox News Digital. “Buyers today are relocating businesses, moving family offices, enrolling their children in local schools, and embedding themselves in the community.”

MIAMI MOVES AHEAD OF NEW YORK IN $1M-PLUS HOME AFTER NEARLY A DECADE

“There’s also far more institutional-level capital and long-term wealth involved compared to prior booms. Inventory remains limited, land is finite and barriers to entry are high, which makes this cycle feel more structurally supported rather than momentum-driven,” he continued.

Malinosky echoed what many other Florida agents have said about Palm Beach’s future — expressing bullish optimism as a new wave of high-net-worth individuals establishes families and businesses there.

“Palm Beach today is not just benefiting from a migration wave, it’s benefiting from wealth consolidation. We’re witnessing a generational shift where capital is becoming more mobile, and Florida is a strategic destination for that capital,” he said.

But he also cautioned against misconceptions about Palm Beach’s headline numbers.

“When people see 100% growth, they often assume it’s uniform across the board, and that’s rarely the case. Appreciation in Palm Beach has been highly segmented. Trophy waterfront estates and prime in-town properties have seen extraordinary gains, while other categories may have appreciated at a more moderate pace,” Malinosky explained.

“Another nuance that gets lost is replacement cost. Construction costs, land scarcity and development restrictions have all risen dramatically,” he added. “In many cases, current values reflect the true cost of recreating these assets today, not just speculative appreciation.”

While Palm Beach caters to glitz and glamour, the remaining towns on the list are smaller, quieter parts of Florida — with average home values around $290,000 or less.

Wauchula — an agricultural city about 90 minutes southeast of Tampa — ranked second, with home values up 3.1% over the past year and 64.8% over five years.

Old Town, Florida, ranked third with 3.2% and 48% increases over the one- and five-year periods. The unincorporated community sits near the Suwannee River, west of Gainesville and just north of Manatee Springs State Park — offering more tropical nature than concrete jungle.

South Bay — the westernmost municipality in the South Florida metro area — ranked fourth, with home values rising 1.2% over the past year and 61.5% over five years, according to GOBankingRates. The town is known for its proximity to Lake Okeechobee and its laid-back, tight-knit community.

Rounding out the list is Bell — a small town of fewer than 520 people nestled in North Florida’s forests, not far from Old Town. Home values average $290,622, up 1.2% over the past year and 61.5% over five years.

“Major markets like Miami or Tampa already experienced earlier, sharper growth curves and started from higher baseline values. When you measure percentage growth over five years, smaller or less established markets can sometimes show more dramatic jumps simply because they began at a lower price point,” Malinosky explained.

Comedian reminds celebrities they ‘know nothing about the real world’ after Grammys

Comedian Ricky Gervais took aim at celebrities using their acceptance speeches at the Grammy Awards to weigh in on politics on Sunday, referencing a moment from his famous monologue castigating celebrity navel-gazing.

Gervais posted an image of a quote from his Golden Globes routine in 2020, when he unloaded on Hollywood.

“If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech,” Gervais said at the time. “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”

In the caption of his post on X, Gervais wrote, “They’re still not listening.”

Multiple celebrities who won awards on Sunday at the Grammys used their platform to slam Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Bad Bunny, who’s scheduled to perform during the halftime show at Super Bowl LX next weekend, protested immigration efforts while accepting his Grammy for Best Música Urbana Album for “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say ICE out,” he pleaded from the stage. “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens — we are humans, and we are Americans.”

Kate Middleton’s ‘bonkers’ hobby even Prince William just can’t get into, experts reveal

Kate Middleton is fully earning her “Sporty Spice Princess” nickname, bringing the same fire to the field as she does to the kitchen.

During a recent visit to the Wakefield Trinity Rugby Club, the Princess of Wales spoke about her own sporting history, noting she played “loads of netball” in school, but skipped rugby and football, People magazine reported.

The mother of three also revealed that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, isn’t officially involved in rugby, but joins in when the family plays together at home. Her youngest son, Prince Louis, takes part in “Rugbytots” sessions, while her eldest, Prince George, is becoming a pro.

PRINCE PHILIP GAVE KATE MIDDLETON BLUNT WARNING ABOUT SURVIVING ROYAL LIFE

“George, now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George!” the princess shared.

Royal experts told Fox News Digital that Kate’s passion for sports is well-known — and it’s no surprise she’s passing it on to her children.

“Princess Catherine has definitely earned her nickname ‘Sporty Spice Princess,’” British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

WATCH: KATE MIDDLETONS DORMMATE RECALLS BEFRIENDING THE FUTURE PRINCESS OF WALES

“She has famously thrown herself into various athletic activities during engagements, showing her great skill and competitive spirit,” Chard shared. “From rugby drills at Twickenham to tennis with champions, high-speed sailing, field hockey in heels and, more recently, she tried curling in Scotland.”

“We can’t forget Princess Kate goes deep-sea diving with her husband,” Chard noted. “They are both accomplished divers with PADI Advanced qualifications. Now, Prince George joins them in shark spotting during private holidays in Mustique.”

While Kate and her husband, Prince William, share a mutual love of sports, experts said they are fiercely competitive — but there’s one activity Kate enjoys that William just can’t get into.

“What’s unusual — and a surprise to many — is her penchant for wild, cold-water swimming and dipping in streams and pools, often at night,” British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital.

“Prince William has referred to it as her ‘craziest’ hobby and called her ‘slightly bonkers,’” Fordwich said. “But it’s been said she finds it both invigorating and mood-boosting.”

“The hobby surprised both William and me!” quipped royal expert Ian Pelham Turner. “At first, William thought it was rather mad, but after much encouragement, he’s now tried it too.”

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams described the 44-year-old princess as “extremely sporty” and eager to take on new activities. He noted that the Princess of Wales has spoken about her love of nature and how embracing the outdoors helped her heal during her cancer diagnosis. She announced she was in remission in January 2025.

Since then, the family has moved to the outskirts of London.

“Her keenness for tennis — as she’s the patron of Wimbledon — is well known,” Fitzwilliams said. “She reportedly took private lessons at the Hurlingham Club and has an ‘incredible forehand.’” 

“She loves skiing, a favorite sport among the royals. It’s been such fun to see how she and William incorporate sports such as archery and dragon boat racing into foreign tours. It gives these trips a special cachet — and she always looks so graceful while playing.”

Although her connection to nature isn’t new, royal commentator Amanda Matta previously told Fox News Digital that it has become “more central” to the princess’s public image over the past year.

“Framing time outdoors as her ‘hobby’ works because it’s so accessible. Who can’t manage a walk in the woods?” Matta said.

“It reinforces the idea of Kate as grounded and relatable, someone who genuinely enjoys the same simple pleasures as the rest of us,” Matta added.

Turner revealed the princess has earned the nickname “Sporty Spice Princess” for more than one reason. And after breaking a sweat, this other hobby comes in handy.

“The princess has many unusual — some may say hidden — talents,” Turner explained. “She’s a very proficient scuba diver, but perhaps her most unexpected talent is being a great sausage maker. It’s been said she makes delicious delicacies with meats and chutneys, which the late queen especially enjoyed.”

Chard agreed.

“She’s been described as an avid cook and a real foodie,” Chard said. “Princess Catherine loves preparing hearty comfort meals for her family. Roast chicken remains a firm favorite, but she’s also known for making delicious sausages with her trusty sausage maker.” 

“It’s been said her children love toad in the hole — a traditional dish — as well as sausage and mash. They’re also learning cooking techniques as they regularly lend a hand. Reportedly, Prince George is quite the dab hand at the ‘Sausage Catherine Wheel.’”

“Even a spicy curry makes the menu — although not too spicy for Prince William,” Chard added.

Vanity Fair correspondent Katie Nicholl previously revealed to the outlet that in the evenings, Kate can be spotted cooking William’s favorite meal, roast chicken, while also making use of her sausage-maker.

“She has started making homemade pots of fruit jam,” wrote Nicholl, adding that Kate once gifted friends strawberry jam and plum preserves.

Kate later told Mary Berry that William tried to pull out all the stops in the kitchen to impress her early on in their relationship.

“He’s very good at breakfast,” said Kate. “In our university days, he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that’s when he was trying to impress me, Mary. Things like Bolognese sauce and things like that.”

Turner also told Fox News Digital that beekeeping is one of the princess’s hobbies — and it helped her bond with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

“Queen Elizabeth II reportedly loved receiving honey as a small gift,” Turner said. “Prince Philip was also known as the family’s barbecue master at Balmoral Castle, so the princess’s sausages would have been a treat.”

Fordwich said the princess’s beloved activities have made her appear more relatable as a royal — something the British public appreciates about their future queen consort.

“All of her talents and hobbies are endearing,” Fordwich said. “She also remains dignified and authentic. I believe her many talents come from her middle-class upbringing, where she learned — like so many of us — from parents who had to be self-reliant and resilient.”

In September, the couple visited the National Federation of Women’s Institutes in London. William, who quickly noticed the baked goods at the royal engagement, said, “I know my brownies,” People magazine reported.

“William is very fussy about it,” the Princess of Wales remarked — and he agreed.

“Never put nuts in a brownie,” William said.

“I had to learn the hard way!” Kate quipped.

Chard previously told Fox News Digital that Kate’s “down-to-earth personality,” along with her friendly and caring approach to life, has earned her a strong rapport with the public.

“Catherine’s positive attitude as she carries out royal duties — her early-years work with passion, duty, commitment and hard work, all with a bright smile — is commendable,” Chard said.

“The future of the monarchy is bright with Princess Catherine and her husband at the helm, and this is the news we should be shouting from the rooftops.”

Famous prognosticating groundhog makes annual winter weather prediction

Pennsylvania’s “official state meteorologist,” Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow Monday morning, predicting six more weeks of winter.

Thousands of people gathered for the 140th celebration of Groundhog Day on Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to see the famous groundhog emerge from his tree stump.

Meanwhile, AccuWeather’s chief long-range weather expert, meteorologist Paul Pastelok, said the coming week will remain cold, with below average temperatures in the eastern United States.

“We’ve still got some more snow and ice to contend with” in the mid-Atlantic, Ohio River Valley and Northeastern U.S., he said.

“The farther out you get the accuracy is not specifically on point all the time, but we can get trends,” Pastelok said about any long-range forecasts.

While Phil made his annual prognostication, the National Centers for Environmental Information remains a skeptic of the animal’s prediction ability. The government agency last year compared Phil’s record with U.S. national temperatures over the prior decade and concluded he was right only 40% of the time.

Among the political figures drawn to the Gobbler’s Knob stage on Monday was U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, who noted his mother was from Punxsutawney. Also spotted were state Treasurer Stacy Garrity, who is currently pursuing the governorship, and top state Senate Republicans Joe Pittman and Kim Ward.

While Groundhog Day is considered a national holiday and has even been popularized in the classic 1993 Bill Murray film of the same name, the day — and Phil himself — hold a special place in many Pennsylvanians’ hearts.
