A drug-resistant bacteria that causes a stomach bug is on the rise, the CDC warns. Plus, Harry and Meghan are asked by the royal family to leave their home near Windsor Castle, and a former child bride who was married and pregnant at 13 is fighting to change the laws in 43 states that still allow for child marriage. |

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are apparently being kicked out of their home near Windsor Castle in London. A spokesperson for the royal couple said yesterday that Harry and Meghan, whose main home is in California, have been asked to "vacate their residence" at Frogmore Cottage, which was gifted to them by the late Queen Elizabeth II. The 10-bedroom pad had been their home in the U.K. since the birth of their son, Archie, 3, and a place where they had "so many memories," Meghan said in a Netflix documentary. The couple stayed at the cottage last year for the queen's Platinum Jubilee. The request follows the release of Harry's tell-all memoir and a Netflix docuseries, both of which were critical of the royal family. |

Dawn Tyree, 51, was only 11 years old when she said she was encouraged by her father and stepmother to spend time with a man 19 years older than her. By the summer after she finished sixth grade, she was pregnant and forced to marry the 32-year-old man. At 16, she escaped and was homeless for a time while her two children stayed with grandparents. At 18, she was able to get a divorce, win custody of her children and rebuild her life. Now she's fighting to have marriage under 18 made illegal across the country. She spoke to Today.com about her terror at giving birth so young, being turned away from a homeless shelter as a teen mom, and her fight to make child marriage illegal in all 50 states. See her story here. |

Achieve your life goals with easy tips. |
Do you have 11 minutes to spare? Just going for a short walk in that amount of time is enough to reduce the risk of premature death and various diseases, according to a new review of studies. One in 10 premature deaths could be prevented if everyone did 75 minutes of week of exercise that raised their heart rates, researchers reported in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. That's only half of the 150 minutes of moderate intensity a week recommended by the CDC, but it still makes an "appreciable" difference. A short exercise routine can also boost your mental health, researchers said. Here's what to know, as well as a 31-day walking plan for this month to get you moving. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Wherever Jonathan Majors goes, he takes a little cup of wisdom with him. The "Creed III" star has been seen with an unusual red carpet accessory in the form of small mugs, which he has carried with him since he left home as a teen. Majors, 33, shared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" that his mother, who is a pastor, would always tell him to "watch your cup" whenever he left the house. As a father and an actor, he says the mugs have a new significance. "Now it means mind your cup," he said. "You're a vessel. Nobody can fill you up. Nobody can pour you out. You do that yourself. And so (this cup) is a reminder that ... my self-esteem is my self-esteem. No one can big me up, as it were, or tear me down." |
