"The South African Mission to the UN confirmed yesterday that yes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be taking part," a spokesperson for the President of the General Assembly told the outlet in a statement, adding that The Nelson Mandela Foundation specifically "selected the Duke and Duchess to participate." (The jury ruled in favor of Johnny on all three of his defamation claims against Amber, but sided with Amber on just one of her counterclaims against her ex-husband.) In their response, Johnny's team called Amber's claims "frivolous," arguing that Virginia law mandates "a verdict is not to be set aside unless it is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it." Three years after Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan met with Nelson Mandela's widow, Graca Machel, in Africa, the couple will make a special appearance at the U.N. General Assembly in New York City on July 18 in honor of Nelson Mandela Day. Harry's expected to give a speech as part of the commemorative event, Fox Digital reported on Tuesday, July 12. #thisisus." Mandy, who performed the song on the "Day of the Wedding" episode, according to People, earned an Emmy nod of her own in 2019 for her performance as Rebecca Pearson. Over the course of its six season, "This Is Us" snagged more than 35 Emmy nods and four wins. Amber's lawyers also argued the massive judgment awarded to Johnny, versus the $2 million in damages awarded to Amber, is "inconsistent and irreconcilable" with the jury's decision the stars defamed each other. Central to Amber's team's motion was the fact that the juror who was summoned was not the person who reported to court and became juror 15. It's a huge job, and it took a lot of people to clean me up." As Ryan, Kelly and audience members chuckled, Wanda clarified, "I shouldn't say it like that," according to People. "You know what, it was an amazing honor and I think it's something that you want to do. Say '50!'" On Kulture's actual big day, Sunday, July 10, she reportedly enjoyed a family trip to the interactive children's museum Candytopia … not to be confused with the equally interactive Cash-o-topia her dad seems to have treated her to in the car. "So unendingly proud of @siddkhoslamusic and @taylordawesgoldsmith for getting an Emmy nom for their song 'Forever Now' on our final season of #ThisIsUs," Mandy shared after the nominees were announced on Tuesday, July 12. In a video posted to Offset's Instagram Stories, the smiling toddler, whose mom reportedly gave her $100,000 worth of diamond jewelry for her first birthday, clutches the stack of bills while riding in what appears to be her dad's private car, according to Entertainment Tonight.
