At a time when the British royal family has been convulsed by drama, infighting and a tendency by some royals to over-share, Prince William has remained largely aloof — loath to reveal the kinds of details found in “Spare,” the memoir by his estranged brother, Prince Harry. Yet William, too, has lifted the veil in recent weeks, in his own carefully managed way. The two glimpses of William, 43, have hardly remade the public image of the eldest son of King Charles III. The exercise in image making has taken on more urgency since his father was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in early 2024.

Fayaz Khan, 26, made the threat to kill the politician between October 12 and 15 last year in a video on the social media platform that Mr Farage said was “pretty chilling”. In a post on X following the verdict, Mr Farage said: “The illegal migrant who threatened to kill me has just been found guilty. I’m going to pop, pop, pop.”Mr Ratliff told jurors that while Khan said “pop, pop, pop” he made “gun gestures with his hand”, as well as headbutting the camera during the video, and was pointing to an AK-47 tattoo on his face to “emphasise he wasn’t joking”. The court was also shown other videos posted on social media by Khan in which he appeared to make “pop, pop, pop” noises and similar hand gestures to those in the TikTok video referencing Mr Farage. In his closing speech, prosecutor Mr Ratliff said the alleged threat to kill was “not some off-the-cuff comment” and the video was “sinister and menacing”.
