We at Vanity Fair are preparing for two very different weddings this weekend: Royal cousin Peter Phillips is tying the knot with NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, while London-born singer Dua Lipa and British actor Callum Turner are following this week’s civil ceremony with a multi-day celebration in Sicily. All that put us in a nuptial mood, and after paging through our special edition on the great British weddings, we suspect you’ll quickly join us in that mindset.

Lipa and Turner aren’t the only Britons expected to take high-profile flight this summer. We hear that Kate Middleton could be headed to the US in the coming months, a plan possibly signaled by some unexpected fashion choices. And joining the princess in a routine shakeup are denizens of the East End, as our freshly minted Hamptons guide reveals, with that set headed to a slew of new drinking, dining, and shopping destinations.

Also on the roster this weekend are a fresh look at Martha Moxley’s diary entries, Noah Wyle’s revealing conversation with VF’s Rebecca Ford, and all the best movies to watch on Netflix this month. In other words, a little summer weekend fun for everyone.

The 25 Best Movies to Watch on Netflix This June

BY CHRIS FEIL

Summer is finally here—so kick back and let the good films roll.

In March, VF published a barn burner of a story by Deanna Kizis: a 7,200-word feature about teenage star water polo player Aidan Romain, who was suing his old teammate Lucca van der Woude for alleged sexual assault and racist harassment. Romain was also suing the school they’d both attended, the elite Los Angeles academy Harvard-Westlake, for alleged inaction in the wake of Romain’s claims. A second alleged victim told Kizis that Van der Woude had also abused him, and that Harvard Westlake hadn’t done enough to protect him either. (The school and Van der Woude have both denied the claims.) Today, Kizis presents a follow-up revealing that Van der Woude has been accused of using antisemitic slurs, according to an amended complaint, and that Black parents at Harvard-Westlake say the school still hasn’t done enough to address racism and discrimination. “It appears to me that they’re just kind of treading water and hoping this moment will pass,” says one Black parent—pun not intended.

Elsewhere, Katie Nicholl and Erin Vanderhoof have all the details on Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s upcoming wedding.

Former Harvard-Westlake Water Polo Star Faces Shocking New Allegations

BY DEANNA KIZIS

A newly revised lawsuit filed by water polo player Aidan Romain claims that in 2020, Lucca van der Woude told a Jewish peer words to the effect of: “Die in an oven.” Meanwhile, Black parents at Harvard-Westlake School say they are angry about the school’s lack of accountability in addressing discrimination: “Hopefully they are taking action. What action? I have no idea.”

The Deep End

BY DEANNA KIZIS

In 2024, top water polo player Lucca van der Woude was arrested at Los Angeles’s Harvard-Westlake School—allegedly under suspicion of sexual assault. The criminal case against the player was closed, and the elite academy maintains it did nothing wrong. But a civil suit accuses the school of risking the safety of two students of color—while allegedly protecting the white teammate who made their lives unbearable.
