Are you ready for a bunch of new games for Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One? Because they're coming!

On the cusp of their respective five-year anniversaries, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are going head-to-head once more at the annual video game trade show E3 in mid-June. 

But, thanks in part to a massive leak and in part to Sony just outright talking about its plans, we already know a lot about what Sony and Microsoft plan to show this year. 

Here's a look at what to expect from both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at E3 2018:

Sony's plans for E3 2018, broadly speaking:

Sony's annual E3 press briefing on all things PlayStation is Monday, June 11 at 9:00 p.m. EST / 6:00 p.m. PDT.

As always, Sony will broadcast its briefing on several platforms — Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook are all hosting streams of the event. 

The E3 briefing is Sony's annual opportunity to announce major PlayStation games, show off upcoming games, and — generally speaking — address its most loyal fans directly. It's the kind of event where Sony might reveal a major new "Uncharted" game (for example only — it's unlikely that a new "Uncharted" game shows up anytime soon). 

Usually, it's an event full of surprise reveals intended to wow viewers. But at E3 2018, Sony is doing something different: Telling everyone ahead of time what it's going to show. Madness!

Here's Sony's full line-up:

"Death Stranding"

What is "Death Stranding"? That's a great question. Even though I've seen several trailers for the game, I have no idea what it is.

Here's what we know for sure:

— The game is being created by "Metal Gear" series creative lead Hideo Kojima, a legendary character in the video game business.
— It stars Norman Reedus, of "The Walking Dead" fame. He's the main character. Mads Mikkelsen, a Danish actor best known as the bad guy from "Casino Royale," appears to be the antagonist.
— The game is a collaboration between Hideo Kojima and famed film director Guillermo del Toro.
— It's being funded by Sony, which means the game is only coming to the PlayStation 4.

Is it a first-person or third-person game? A survival game? Open world, or linear? All of this stuff is still up in the air.

Here's an eight minute trailer for "Death Stranding"— if you can piece it together, more power to you!

• The Bolivian city of Uyuni was an important transportation hub in the late 19th to early 20th centuries.
• A giant railway system was built there, but as the mining industry fell apart and trains became more advanced, these steel monstrosities were abandoned in the middle of the desert.
• They're still there today and the entire area has become a tourist hot spot.
  

Everyone is fascinated with abandoned places and the stories behind them. What happened? Why hasn't anyone tried to revitalize the space or clean up what's been left behind?

In many cases, like this train graveyard located in Bolivia, it was just too difficult to clear the area.

The trains and the tracks surrounding it were built in the late 1800s by British engineers trying to capitalize on the mineral-rich salt flats in the area, but the entire project was abandoned in the 1940s. The trains were stripped of all useful parts, and left to decompose in the desert.

Now, almost 70 years later, the area has become a memorial to the golden age of rail travel, and a popular tourist attraction.

Check out these creepy photos of the "Cementerio de Trenes" (Cemetery of Trains) in Uyuni.

Just a few miles away from the Salar de Uyuni (the world's largest salt flat), you can find an eerie gateway into the early 20th century.

Salar de Uyuni is a popular tourist attraction because the salt becomes reflective when wet — it's been called the world's largest mirror.

Even though it's not too far from civilization, the area can feel otherworldly.

It is one of the most alien-looking places on the planet.

All you have to do is follow the deserted train tracks to find a graveyard of abandoned trains.

The graveyard is just under two miles from the city of Uyuni.

• If you are traveling on a budget in Europe, opt for a lesser-visited destination like Montenegro.
• Namibia is one of the best African countries you can visit to experience a safari.
• San Francisco is both a family-friendly and budget-friendly city to visit in the US.

Sure, we’d love to book round-trip flights to Paris and Rome, or jet-set halfway across the globe to Beijing and Tokyo. But we’re not exactly a millionaire, so we’re always looking for ways to satisfy our insatiable wanderlust (and ever-growing bucket list) on a dime. According to the travel experts at CheapAir.com, it can definitely be done. Here, ten of the most budget-friendly destinations for 2018. And they’re not shabby at all.

Montenegro

Spain

San Francisco, California

We know, kind of a shocker. But the Golden City has tons of free attractions and public spaces (think: Golden Gate Park, Lombard Street, and Chinatown) and is especially great for families traveling on a budget. Plus, there are many affordable flights from most US hubs, easy-to-use public transportation and plenty of bargain hotels.

A deadly shooting at the Santa Fe High School in Texas last Friday has once again propelled the gun-control debate into the national limelight.

The massacre took place in one of America's most gun-friendly states — and while much of the immediate response from local lawmakers has focused on bolstering security in schools instead of restricting gun ownership, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has indicated that gun-control discussions aren't exactly off the table, either.

Though it may seem as though Americans are hopelessly divided on guns, there's more common ground than you might think.

A study published in the American Journal of Public Health last week found that of 24 potential gun-control policies, gun owners and non-gun owners fell within a 10-point support gap on 16 of those policies — and previous studies have yielded similar results.

"Large majorities of both gun owners and non-gun owners strongly support measures to strengthen US gun laws," the authors wrote. Given that gun issues are connected tightly to cultural and identity politics in America, it is noteworthy how much agreement we found in support for policies to regulate the way people acquire and carry guns."

Here are some of the positions gun owners hold on gun control.

More than 80% of gun owners support universal background checks, which would ensure that anyone who buys a gun must first go through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, even if they’re purchasing from private sellers.

The most vocal pushback on universal background checks comes from gun-rights groups like the National Rifle Association, which opposes firearms registration and argues that the background checks won't stop criminals from obtaining guns through theft or the black market.

But it's worth noting that fewer than 20% of US gun owners are members of the NRA, and polling shows that support for universal background checks is high, even among NRA members.

89% of gun owners also support preventing mentally ill people from buying guns. It's one of the rare policies nearly everyone agrees on — it enjoys the same amount of support among gun owners, non-owners, Democrats, and Republicans.

84% of gun owners — even those in right-to-carry states — also support testing requirements for concealed-carry permit holders to gauge whether gun owners can safely and lawfully handle their weapons in common situations they might run into.

Last September, Apple unveiled a smartphone that looked like none before it:

With the iPhone X, Apple ditched the three-year-old design that prevailed during the iPhone 6 era in favor of something new — an edge-to-edge design with no home button for Touch ID, and an all-new OLED display that takes up the whole front of the phone.

The new display almost takes up almost the whole front of the phone, but not quite. Apple cut out a little "notch" to house its front-facing camera and other sensors that power Face ID, which replaces Touch ID as the main authentication method in the iPhone X.

Not everyone loves the notch. But Apple wanted its tenth-anniversary iPhone to have an edge-to-edge screen and a front-facing camera, and that's the compromise Apple came up with, love it or hate it.

• Meghan Markle married Prince Harry and became the Duchess of Sussex.
• Now that she's a royal, she'll have to follow etiquette rules like curtsying to higher-ranking royals, holding a teacup properly, and sitting with a "duchess slant."

The royal family is known for doing things differently than the rest of society, preserving traditions that have faded out of style among commoners.

"There has to be a slight differentiation between the royal family and us regular folk," royal expert Victoria Arbiter previously told INSIDER. "Not in an arrogant way, but what's the point in the royal family if they are just like us?"

Meghan Markle, an American actress, joined the royal ranks when she married Prince Harry on Saturday, and she'll have to change some of her American habits.

Here are five etiquette rules that Markle now has to follow.

Markle has to curtsy to all higher-ranking royals.

There's an Order of Precedence that dictates who must bow or curtsy to whom in the royal family. For example, the queen's children and grandchildren bow or curtsy if they're seeing her for the first time that day.

There's also a distinction between people who are born into the royal family and people who marry into it.

When Kate Middleton married Prince William, the queen updated the Order of Precedence and dictated that Middleton should curtsy to "blood princesses"— Princesses Anne, Alexandra, Beatrice, and Eugenie, according to The Telegraph. Because they were born into the royal family and Middleton married into it, they outrank her.

There's one exception: If Prince William is present, that elevates Middleton's ranking and reverses the order, requiring the "blood princesses" to curtsy to her.

These rules will likely apply to Markle, as well. Since's she married into the royal family, she would curtsy to princesses born into it unless she is with Prince Harry, in which case they would curtsy to her.

She has to refrain from going in for hugs.

While Americans often go in for a hug as a greeting, British royals initiate handshakes with members of the public — if any contact at all.

When greeting other royals, though, they kiss each other's cheeks since their families are old friends and they're all on a level playing field as royals.

Markle has been breaking this protocol and giving hugs while out on royal engagements, but royals have been known to break their own protocol from time to time.

She has to master the "duchess slant" when she sits.

The term "duchess slant" was coined by Beaumont Etiquette to describe the way Kate Middleton sits with her knees and ankles together slanted to one side. It's a posture that Markle is already mastering.

"Typically the 'duchess slant' is used when a lady has to sit for an extended amount of time while keeping poise and posture," royal expert Myka Meier of Beaumont Etiquette previously told INSIDER. "It is the perfect pose for when a camera is shooting directly in front of you because by slightly slanting the knees to create a zig-zag effect when wearing a dress or skirt, your legs are angled so that the camera — or in this case a crowd — only sees and shoots the sides of your legs and protects your modesty."

• AirlineRatings.com recently surveyed its readers to find out which types of passengers people find most annoying on a plane.
• Of the more than 5,300 people who responded to the survey, 78% found people who smell bad to be the worst passengers to be around.
• Other types of passengers to make the top 10 include out-of-control kids and people who bring too many carry-on bags.

As the summer travel season heats up, some 246 million people in the US will take to the skies over the next few months.

And as airports and flights become more crowded, there will inevitably be travelers whose etiquette is less than ideal.

To get a better idea of what things annoy passengers the most, AirlineRatings.com polled more than 5,300 of its readers to find out.

On Thursday, the Australian airline safety and product rating website released the results of its survey.

And the winner is ... people who smell bad. AirlineRatings asked respondents to rank the types of passengers that they found to be the most irritating and "smelly people" was a top response for a whopping 78% of those polled.

According to Geoffrey Thomas, the website's editor in chief, the level of frustration people have with malodorous fellow travelers is indicative of a decline in passenger hygiene standards and the challenges created by modern technology.

"There has been a significant shift in passengers' gripes about their fellow travelers, who are either not conscious of their odor or don’t care," Thomas said in a report on the survey's findings.

"With online or cellphone check-in now widespread, offending passengers are slipping through the traditional checks and only coming into contact with airline agents at the boarding gate. The agents, under pressure to get the flight away, let offenders slip through."

Other passenger types that respondents found annoying include out-of-control children, people who recline their seats, those who hog the armrests, and people who bring too many carry-ons.

Here's a closer look at the 10 worst types of passengers on a plane, according to the readers of AirlinesRatings.com:

As the year flies by, the list of canceled TV shows piles up.

Networks are starting to make announcements in May, including Fox which canceled comedies "The Mick,""Brooklyn Nine Nine," and "The Last Man on Earth."

Amazon kicked off the year with a slew of cancellations, announcing the end of three quirky comedies, including the Golden Globe nominee "I Love Dick" and the comedian Tig Notaro's semi-autobiographical show, "One Mississippi." It canceled Golden Globe nominee "Mozart in the Jungle" in April, after four seasons, and recently canceled "Transparent," which will end after the upcoming fifth season.

Also in April, Netflix canceled the 90s coming-of-age comedy, "Everything Sucks," which came to the streaming service in February. 

There are many more cancellations to come, as networks announce the fate of newer shows as well as older ones.

We'll update this list as more are announced.

Here are all the shows that have been canceled this year, including those from networks and Netflix:

• All breakups can be difficult, but working with your ex can make the healing process even more challenging.
• Many Hollywood relationships develop on set, making the fallout from the breakup a bit awkward. 
• Despite the end of the romance, some celebrity couples have found a way to work together, and have even channeled their feelings into their work.

Breaking up can be hard to do, particularly when your ex also happens to be your coworker. All you want is to be alone with your favorite pint of ice cream and sappy love story. But instead, you have to deal with all of your feelings while constantly worrying about running into your former flame in the break room.

Maintaining a professional relationship with your ex can be tough for even the best actor. But some folks in Hollywood have managed to put on a united front for the sake of their careers. These celebrities figured out how to work together when their romances fizzled out.

Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson

In 1998, Holmes and Jackson started a real-life romance while working together on season one of "Dawson's Creek." And though their characters, Joey and Pacey, found love on the hit teen drama, Holmes and Jackson's off-screen romance was short-lived.

The two continued to work together on the show until it's finale in 2003, and still maintain a friendship today. Holmes considers Jackson her first love, as she told US Weekly and even called him after her divorce from Tom Cruise.

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn

The Hollywood A-listers had been friends for years before things turned romantic. Penn and Theron started dating in December 2013 while Theron worked on "The Last Face,"  a film Penn directed. Things seemed to be going well. Penn even proposed to Theron on a 2014 Paris trip.

But a year and a half into the relationship, the two called it quits. It's rumored that Theron got cold feet and abruptly called things off. However, she maintains that the breakup was mutual.
"We were in a relationship and then it didn't work anymore. And we both decided to separate," the actress told WSJ Magazine.

And even though their romantic relationship was over, Theron and Penn had to put on a united front to promote their film at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016.

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley

Before she found love with Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively shared an off-screen romance with her on-screen beau, Penn Badgley. The two dated for three years while working together on "Gossip Girl." They tried to keep their relationship on the down low, denying rumors of a romance for fear that it would cause problems at work, as Lively told Vanity Fair.

The two broke up in 2010 but continued to play a couple on the show until it ended in 2012. Their characters, Dan and Serena even got married in the series finale.

• Parenting in the British royal family historically relied on nannies and caretakers to raise children. 
• However, younger generations have turned from tradition and opted for more active roles as parents in their kids' lives. 
• From Princess Diana and Prince Charles to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the royals can set an example for involved parenting today. 

Throughout history, the British royal family has not been "hands on" when raising their children. An article in People Magazine titled, "A Royal Upbringing" stated: "Nannies, governesses and tutors, not parents, traditionally have raised the children of the British aristocracy."

That all changed, however, when the late Princess Diana had her children, Prince William and Prince Harry, three decades ago. She and Prince Charles bucked tradition and made it a priority to be intricately involved with the care and upbringing of their two young sons.

Now that Prince William is a dad, all eyes are on the newest royal parents and it seems that the world likes what it sees. It's not just the "royal wave" that has us all taking note, here are five royal parenting lessons that moms and dads across the globe can take heart in and apply to their own parenting regimen. 

5 royal parenting lessons

1. Hug often
2. We all make mistakes
3. The value of money
4. It's important to give back
5. Share your feelings

Let's look at each a bit closer.

1. Hug often

Some of us are born to be "touchy feely" and simply enjoy the warm human touch when interacting with our family and friends. I am one of those people! I know when to not cross another's personal boundaries, but I can't help myself when it comes to giving hugs. I hug my friends, siblings, acquaintances I haven't seen in ages, the mailman who has returned to his route after being out for three months with a broken leg, my kid's teachers, always my kids and, yes, even trees!

If the late Princess Diana and I had been friends, one thing we would've shared for certain was our enjoyment of hugs. In an article on Dailymail.com marking the 20th anniversary of her death, we learn from Diana's aunt, Mary Roche, "Diana was very affectionate and warm and a great hugger, which is very unlike our family tradition. Hugs were very important to her, and hugging her children. She even gave me The Little Book of Hugs." This book, published in 1986, illustrates the benefits of a good hug, in turns both whimsical and serious. Diana gave many copies of it to family and friends.

"Hugs can do great amounts of good, especially for children," Princess Diana said. Not everyone is comfortable when it comes to hugging, but when it comes to our kids, this royal lesson is one that requires no crown, just a warm, loving embrace.

2. We all make mistakes

When we become new parents, we want everything to be as near perfect as possible, but hey — we're human and none of us are perfect, particularly when we're raising kids for the first time.

Father of three, Prince William agrees. "We are all human, and inevitably mistakes are made. But in the end there is a great sense of loyalty and dedication among the family, and it rubs off on me. Ever since I was very small, it's something that's been very much impressed on me, in a good way,'' said Prince William on his 21st birthday, according to the book William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls by Katie Nicholl.

Mistakes are like silver linings. When you use them as a learning tool, it can help define the type of parent you are as well as set a great example for your kids. So if the message in your home is that mistakes can become learning opportunities, your kids will walk away, as Prince William did, knowing a few things:

• Making mistakes are a part of life.
• We can survive mistakes by picking ourselves up and trying again rather than staying knocked down.
• No one is perfect.

Learning from our mistakes makes us resilient, a wonderful royal quality for parents and kids alike.

3. Learn the value of money

Princess Diana certainly didn't have to worry about finances once she married her prince, but nonetheless, she felt it very important to teach her young sons the value of money at an early age. While none of the royal family generally carried cash, Diana gave the boys pocket money and once told her oldest son that he wouldn't be able to get two sweets at the store because he only had enough money for one, writes Katie Nicholl in William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls.

An article regarding the British Royal Family's Worth also noted the dozens of ways the Royals value their money and how they find ways to save on a daily basis. The queen insists that everyone turn lights off when leaving a room in the palace, they eat leftovers, use hand-me-downs, and even shop at Ikea for nursery furniture. They may be worth billions, but it's humbling to know that the queen likes to wear the same outfits a handful of times!

Learning how to respect and manage money is a lesson that all parents can teach their kids, even as young as when they first start to read. For more great advice on this extremely important life lesson, see what my colleague, Laura Adams of the Money Girl podcast, has to say in our joint episode, Money and Kids: Tips for Teaching Children About Finances.

• Games are more than an enjoyable pastime — some types of play can actually make kids smarter.
• Unstructured games, art, and even bath time can help kids strategize and explore their creative potential. 
• Here are six games, from an expert, that will make your kids smarter. 

Becoming smarter is more than just learning your ABCs and shapes. Kids can actually become better thinkers and strategizers and hone their social and verbal skills by simply playing.

You can generally skip “brain games,” because they’ve been largely debunked, according to Popular Science. Games don’t have to be tactile either (though they can be). Unstructured play allows your child to explore the world on their own terms.

Laura Markham, Ph.D., author of “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids,” spoke with Business Insider about the best games your children should be playing that will give them the aptitude to succeed later in life.

SEE ALSO: 9 things parents who raise successful kids have in common

1. Unstructured play

Unstructured play, according to Dr. Markham, gives children the chance to learn many different things. “They’re experimenting with the world,” she said.

It can help them learn self-control, figure out how things work, and learn to resolve differences with other people. “We know pretend play is really important for kids in learning self-regulation and how to navigate conflict,” Markham said.

A 2014 study in the journal Childhood Education found that unstructured play enhances a child’s cooperative skills, builds knowledge through imitation, and helps them gain new insights through trial and error.

2. Bath-time fun

Experimenting with pouring water and discovering how much can fit in different-sized containers is a precursor to math, Markham said.

3. Board games

Get off screens and play as a family, Markham said. She encouraged parents to check out cooperative games, like "The Secret Door,” where kids have to work together.

"Connect 4" allows players to work on strategy, planning ahead, and “divided attention” (having to keep an eye on what the other player is doing). Remembering where the ships are in Battleship tests memory. Markham is also a fan of the card game SET, which is based on numbers, shapes, and colors, for kids who are less verbal.

Games where children have to compete are OK, but Markham said that parents should cool it on the competition. “Take off the pressure of the competition,” Markham said. “It’s important for parents to know that while all kids need to learn to be good sports, sometimes we’re asking a lot of them at the age of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7."

There’s one classic board game Markham doesn’t recommend. “I remember throwing out Sorry,” she said. “It encourages you as a player to sabotage other players, and young kids can’t handle that.”

• The firm put together a list of their favorite stocks, including which moved up or down from previous quarters.

Each quarter, hedge funds must disclose their holdings of publicly traded companies.

WalletHub, a personal finance site, analyzed those disclosures for the top 100 hedge funds to see what stocks they were buying up — and which they were selling — from quarter to quarter.

These investors include Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway; Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, and other well known funds like David Tepper’s Appaloosa Management and Daniel Loeb’s Third Point Capital.

The best women’s razor overall

Why you'll love it: The Gillette Venus Extra Smooth has five blades for a super-close shave, but the “moisture ribbon” protects your skin from nicks, cuts, and razor burn.

Admittedly, a razor isn’t a glamorous item, but the right one makes your grooming routine easier, faster, and more effective. With the Gillette Venus Extra Smooth, you get five blades for a super-close shave that won’t go all stubbly on you for at least a couple of days.

It also has a pivoting head that’s nicely shaped to glide over knees and ankles and through the contours of your armpits. Plus, the razor's “moisture ribbon” provides a little extra slip to help prevent shaving mishaps and irritations.

This is a refillable razor, so you toss the blade cartridge once it’s dull  — depending on how often you shave and the sensitivity of your skin, that could be anywhere from three to 10 uses — and slip a new cartridge into the reusable handle. The handle comes with two blade cartridges, but after that, you'll need to buy more. Luckily, they're not terribly pricey.

The Venus Extra Smooth’s handle fits comfortably in your hand, making it easier to reach those tricky spots on the backs of the ankles or under your arms. You can also use it around your bikini line safely.

Pros: Close, smooth shave, moisture ribbon fills in for shaving cream in a pinch

Cons: A few owners complained the moisture ribbon felt gooey once wet.

The best disposable women’s razor

Why you'll love it: The Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor leaves your legs silky-soft and smooth for longer than many other razors.

With five blades for the closest shave, a water-activated “moisturizing serum” in the material surrounding those blades, and an easy-to-hold, not-slippery-even-when-wet handle, you’ll find the Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor is your new beauty BFF.

It rides your curves smoothly to prevent shaving nicks, and you’ll get several uses out of each razor before it’s time to toss it. This is a completely disposable razor, though. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to buy separate razor cartridges to refill it once the blades are dull.

Pros: Very close shave, leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized

Cons: Less environmentally friendly than refillable razors

The best women’s razor with built-in shaving cream

Why you'll love it: With the Schick Intuition Sensitive Care razor, there’s no need for a separate can of shaving gel because it's built right into the razor cartridge — Ingenious!

I’ve been using the Schick Intuition Sensitive Care razors for many years now, and despite the fact that the refill cartridges are a bit pricey, I’m sticking with this razor for my shaving needs.

This is the only razor that never seems to nick or irritate my legs, and it does give a reasonably close shave. The built-in shaving gel is a huge plus for me. I’m far too lazy to bother lathering up every time I want to get my legs presentable.

The razor cartridge has four blades that are surrounded by the water-activated, soap-like shaving “gel.” It definitely provides enough slip for a comfortable, close shave, but on the downside, the gel wears away within just a few shaves, so I have to either replace the cartridge while the blades are still usable, or use a separate shaving gel until the blades go dull enough to justify a new cartridge.  

There are many different fragrances of cartridge available and several different colored handles. I’ve used all of them over the years, and truthfully, find no particular difference between them, although I normally stick with the sensitive care refills, as they are not fragranced.

Pros: No need for separate shaving gel

Cons: The built-in shave gel wears away fairly quickly

• Allison Janney called Kate Middleton "honey" at the BAFTA Awards.
• Shawn Mendes followed royal protocol, which resulted in 10 "awkward" minutes of silence.
• Emilia Clarke and Helen Mirren both blanked when they met royals.
• Margot Robbie didn't recognize Prince Harry when she met him at a party.

When it comes to meeting a royal, there are certain things that you should remember to do, like calling them by their proper titles and bowing or curtsying appropriately. But that can be hard to pull off when you're nervous and starstruck— a quandary even famous people find themselves in when faced with royalty.

Here are six celebrities who have shared their awkward, embarrassing, and hilarious encounters with members of the royal family.

Allison Janney was barefoot when she met Kate Middleton at the BAFTA awards, and proceeded to call her "honey."

During an appearance on "The Late Late Show" hosted by James Corden, Janney recounted taking off her heels at a party only to bump into the Duchess of Cambridge barefoot.

"I just told her that I was in bare feet and I felt — I told her she should take her shoes off 'cause she's pregnant. It was an awkward moment," she said. "As I did, I called her 'honey,' and that might not have been royal etiquette."

She managed to smooth over the initial awkwardness, saying that Middleton was "lovely" and that the royal couple told her they loved "I, Tonya."

Emilia Clarke couldn't manage to choke out the formal greeting of "your royal highness" when meeting Prince William.

Emilia Clarke felt ready to meet Prince William at Kensington Palace until the prince's aides started explaining the formalities before he entered, like not turning your back on him and addressing him as "your royal highness." When the big moment came, she said on "Late Night With Seth Meyers" that she botched the formal greeting due to her nerves.

"For whatever reason, probably because I was so scared, I couldn't manage to get out 'your royal highness,'" she told Meyers.

Shawn Mendes spent 10 "awkward" minutes in silence with the queen when she didn't acknowledge him backstage.

According to royal custom, you can only talk to the queen if she initiates the conversation. That made for what Shawn Mendes called an "awkward" encounter when Queen Elizabeth suddenly appeared backstage at her 92nd birthday celebration in April, where Mendes was performing, but didn't speak to him.

"And I'm looking at her, and you can't say anything," Mendes said during a recent appearance on  "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."  "You're not allowed to speak to her unless she speaks to you first. So, it was like this 10 minutes of very awkward silence between me and the queen."

• Last year, I used the sign-up bonus from my Citi/AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard to fly to London in business class.
• For a limited time, the card is offering the same sign-up bonus — one of the highest it has ever offered: 60,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles when you spend $3,000 in the first three months.
• Here's what it was like to fly business class (spoiler: it was fantastic).

Opening new credit cards and earning the sign-up bonuses is the fastest way to earn points and frequent flyer miles— as long as you do it responsibly and fairly, you can bank a fortune worth of points while possibly even helping your credit score.

When you decide to go after a sign-up bonus, there are two main motivations: either you have a specific trip in mind, and you're earning points and miles that will be useful for that, or there's a great deal — usually just available for a limited time — that you want to take advantage of.

That latter reason led me to open a Citi/AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard a little over a year ago. The card was offering the same sign-up bonus that it is now — 60,000 points when you spend $3,000 on the card in the first three months — and I knew that at some point I would have a use for them.

I usually travel to the UK from home in New York once a year or so, so figured that I could use the points for my next trip — American Airlines' award chart lists round-trips to Europe at 45,000–60,000 miles at the "SAAver" level, so I would have more than enough.

Pretty soon, a couple of friends and I started planning a long weekend trip to London to watch some football (or "soccer") and relax for a few days. We planned to meet up in London, and as I started looking for my flights, I noticed that there was "SAAver" level availability in business class, which would cost 57,500 miles and $5.60. I decided to spend my miles on that, then take a one-way flight home on Norwegian Air.

While I'd always prefer to travel more often in economy then less often in a premium cabin, sometimes it's worth splurging— part of why I love using points and miles is that it helps me experience things I wouldn't otherwise be able to, and this is an example of one of those times.

This was a four-day guy's trip to London, and using my miles to fly there in business class made a lot of sense. I'm often hit hard by jet lag, since I can never sleep on planes when I'm seated upright, so the fact that I'd have a flat-bed seat for the red-eye meant I could actually get some rest. I'd never pay full-price for that, as the cost is generally exorbitant, but using the sign-up bonus made it possible. For the return on Norwegian, I planned to watch a few movies and relax, so I wasn't fussed about flying on a low-cost carrier.

My flight was on an American Airlines 777-200. Because of a few manufacturing issues, a merger with US Airways, and design changes, American Airlines has a few different types of business class seats across their long-haul fleet. This version — manufactured by Zodiac — alternates with every other row facing forward, and the rest facing backwards. I chose the latter seat.

My trip started in the Admiral's Club lounge — this was early 2017, and the lounge options have been revamped since. Now...

International business class passengers have access to the new Flagship Lounge at JFK, which features a buffet, drinks, coffee, and modern, comfortable places to wait for your flight.

In the Admiral's Club, I ended up buying a smoked turkey panini (and having a couple of free drinks). While I knew there would be a great business class dinner on the plane, I prefer eating dinner earlier when it's a red-eye flight. I went to the gate a few minutes before the scheduled boarding time, and found that boarding had started early (a pretty common occurrence on American, which uses on-time gate pushback as a key metric).

• Prince William and Kate Middleton are under more pressure than the other members of the royal family when it comes to following protocol. 
• As the future King and Queen consort, the two are expected to abide by all of Queen Elizabeth's rules. However, they have been known to go against royal protocol on occasion. 
• From what they wear to how they raise their children, here are 10 rules the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to follow that others royals are not. 

While every member of the royal family ultimately answers to Queen Elizabeth, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, are under even more pressure to carry out granny’s wishes to the letter. From what they wear to how they raise their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and new baby Prince Louis, the couple need to follow these ten important rules to the letter so as not to run afoul of important rules of royal protocol. So check your pedigree, polish up your wardrobe, and read on—because what follows are some pretty rigid etiquette rules. And for more on the world's favorite high-powered couple, check out the 17 ways Kate has changed since marrying William.

They needed permission to marry.

William had to ask his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, for her consent to marry Kate, according to the Royal Marriages Act 1772, which decrees all descendants of George II must obtain the sovereign’s agreement before they wed, otherwise the marriage is invalid.

In 2013, the traditional Royal Marriages Act was repealed in favor of the Successions to the Crown Act—meaning only the first six in line to the throne require the Queen's permission to marry. William is second in line, so he needs Her Majesty's permission, which she happily gave. (Prince Harry, in case you were wondering, was fifth at the time of his engagement to Meghan Markle, so he needed granny’s approval, too.) And for more wedding rules the monarchy must hew to, learn the 20 traditions royal brides must follow.

Potential spouses must pass a pedigree check.

Prince William also married outside of royal bloodlines, so he also needed the queen's permission for that reason to ask for Kate's hand in marriage. Here's something for Prince George to keep in mind: In 2015, amendments were made that now allow royal family members to marry a Roman Catholic and become king or queen; however, a Roman Catholic still cannot become monarch. For instance, if Prince George marries a Catholic and raises his children in that faith, they would be prohibited from taking the throne.

The wedding wardrobe needs to meet the royal standard.

The Queen needed to approve what William (and yes, Harry) wore for their weddings. Other royals, further down the line of succession, do not officially need her approval, but generally, seek it as a courtesy. She also was shown Kate (and Meghan's) wedding dress before the big day. And for more on what went down that day, don’t miss the most romantic moments from Harry and Meghan’s wedding.

• Movies like "Star Wars,""Ghostbusters," and "Clueless" are celebrated as classics.
• They also have made some surprising contributions to our vocabularies.
• Common words popularized by movies include "catfish,""my bad," and even "toast."

Movies have long influenced the way people talk, and sometimes, it's in ways we don't even realize.

Movies from "Star Wars" to "Clueless" have contributed words and phrases to our vocabularies that we use every day. Linguists are always keeping tabs on the subtle ways cinema has crept into our lexicons.

Take the word "toast" as a synonym for "dead," like when someone says, "I'm toast." Surprisingly, the first known use of "toast" in that way came from Bill Murray in "Ghostbusters"— and he came up with the line on the spot.

Read on to learn about some popular and words and phrases for which we can thank the movies.

Toast

When Bill Murray uttered "All right, this chick is toast!" in 1984's "Ghostbusters," few knew he was making linguistic history.

But believe it or not, Murray's line — delivered right before the film's climactic showdown — is the first known instance of the word "toast" being used to mean dead, finished, or doomed.

That's according to the Oxford English Dictionary, which directly cited the film as the source of the slang term. Green's Dictionary of Slang also pegs the origins of "toast" to the 1980s.

Funnily enough, Murray's famous line wasn't even in the "Ghostbusters" script, which originally called for him to say, "I’m gonna turn this guy into toast." Murray was said to have ad-libbed the line that eventually appeared in the film, and the change was significant:

"In our opinion, Murray’s alteration made all the difference. There's a huge semantic gulf between 'I'm gonna turn you into toast' and 'You're toast,'" wrote the editors of the blog Grammarphobia.

Murray's coinage spread like wildfire, and is so widespread today that it's hard to believe it's less than 35 years old.

My bad

"Clueless" introduced millions of viewers to Valley Girl slang, including gems like "As if!" and "Whatever."

While both of those slang expressions enjoyed decades of documented use before "Clueless" came out in 1995, there's another popular phrase whose popularity is even more closely tied to the film: "My bad."

Despite its widespread popularity today, "my bad" was largely still a niche expression pre-"Clueless." The earliest print citations for "My bad" are from as recently as 1985, according to linguist Ben Zimmer, and it was used primarily in the world of playground basketball. By the end of the decade, the phrase was still uncommon enough that sportswriters felt the need to explain its meaning in newspaper columns.

"After making a bad pass, instead of saying 'my fault,' Manute Bol says, 'my bad.' Now all the other Warriors say it too,"USA Today wrote in 1989.

While "Clueless" didn't invent "my bad," it was instrumental in bringing it into the mainstream, and provided many viewers with their first exposure to the phrase.

Bucket list

In 2007's "The Bucket List," two terminally ill strangers go to great lengths to fulfill each others' greatest wishes before they die, or "kick the bucket."

Many people incorrectly believe the phrase "bucket list" was in use before the film came out, but in reality, it was the film's screenwriter Justin Zackham who invented the term back in 1999, when he wrote up his own bucket list, according to linguist Ben Zimmer.

"The film’s release brought the phrase into common parlance, and, as a testament to how natural and idiomatic it sounds, many people assume the term must have long predated the movie," Zimmer wrote.

Once the phrase entered the English language, its meaning expanded to include a list of things to do before any deadline, such as the last day of school or the end of summer.

• Disney cast members would tell you that a lot goes into keeping the magic alive, even onboard a large cruise ship. 
• While there are a lot of aspects of a Disney cruise that you might find yourself splurging on, there are some parts you can definitely skip. 
• From navigating the dining plans to making the most out of your time on the ship, these are the Disney Cruise Line secrets that cast members don't tell you. 

Keeping the Disney magic going while at sea takes more than a few tricks. These are Disney Cruise Line's best-kept secrets.

The cast-to-guest ratio is impressive

With 1,250 staterooms, the Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream can each accommodate 4,000 guests—and each ship has 1,450 cast members (Disney's name for its parks' employees). That means that when the ship is at full capacity, the ratio of cast members to guests is 1 for every 2.76 guests.

Cast members come from all over the world

Just like in the Walt Disney World parks, cast members on the cruise represent almost every nation around the globe. On a recent sailing, there were cast members from 66 different countries, ranging from Poland and Serbia to Indonesia and Jamaica.

Your server will speak your language

Those international cast members come in handy when it's time to order dinner. When you register for the cruise, you'll be asked which language you speak. You'll then be paired with a server who speaks the same language. And if you're American? No worries. All cast members, no matter from which continent they hail, are required to speak English. These are the three words Disney cast members can't say (in any language).

When it comes to having healthy hair, one of the main things to consider are the products that you are using. From shampoos to hair masks, everyone’s hair requires a need not identical to the next.

Although different textures and regimens will determine what those needs are, Dave Simnick, CEO and co-founder of Soapbox, told INSIDER that while there are many signs that your hair products aren’t doing their job, the first step to achieving the hair your desire is to take a look at your daily activities.

"Healthy hair starts with a healthy you," Simnick told INSIDER. "Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating healthy and exercising enough? Is your body producing the amount of oil and protein to help grow strong strands? Always think of these things. Likewise, you need a clarifying shampoo that helps gently clean and get your hair back to where it started as well as a moisturizing and nourishing conditioner that helps seal in that healthy strand against the day's forces (sun, wind, pollution, etc.)."

If you’ve been noticing some negative changes with your strands and need a little help identifying the problem, the seven signs can help you see where the problem lies.

You have extreme breakage.

According to Simnick, if your hair is breaking off more than usual, this is a true tell-tale sign that you should consider changing your product regimen.

"Great hair care products start with great ingredients. Truly exceptional formulations have a balance between moisturizing agents and proteins," he told INSIDER. "If you go too heavy on a protein, that will cause breakage. Put in too many moisturizing agents, that’ll cause breakage, too. Getting the balance just right though, will produce silky, moisturized, healthy hair. The Soapbox Argan Oil line found at Delta Hotels by Marriott has a precise blend of proteins (Argan Oil) and moisturizing agents (tons of rich shea butter)."

Unattended breakage can stunt hair growth and reverse the hard work you put in to achieve healthy hair.

Your hair is dry.

Though you may feel that your products are keeping your tresses in tact, Chrissy Woods, licensed cosmetologist and owner of The Studio 1216, told INSIDER that your products — no matter how long you’ve used them — can cause huge damage.

"If you are noticing that your hair is dry or brittle it could be due to the products that you are using," she said. "These products can be too harsh for your hair type. Dry or brittle hair leads to breakage and overall damage. Try switching to a product that promotes moisture."

Be sure to consider your texture of hair when looking for a moisture-rich product.

Your hair has become stiff.

Just as your products can make your hair dry or brittle, Woods said that it can also make your hair look stiff.

"If your hair is stiff, won't hold a curl, and the ends look frayed, this too could be a sign of product damage," she told INSIDER. "This would more so indicate chemical damage or over-processing of the hair. Depending on how severe the damage is, deep conditioning your hair with moisturizing conditioners, clipping away your ends, and minimal use of heat will help to correct this."

In order to know that your hair products are damaging, you have to take note of the changes your hair is going through.
