Holding Back Tears, Prince William Shows a New Side of a Future King
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. While Buckingham Palace insists that Charles, 76, is on the mend, the prospect of William having to step up to the throne no longer seems so distant.

Latter phases will see the facility expand and create an “offshore wind industry ecosystem” around the hub.

Afghan migrant guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage in TikTok post
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”.

English football, right-wing politics, and a new front in the culture wars
Ratcliffe insists he is “neutral on party politics”. Beyond Farage, there’s nothing else really there.”AdvertisementTraditionally, Labour would have seen itself as the natural home of working-class football supporters. “Football fans generally now have a respectability that they certainly didn’t have 30 or 40 years ago. This more widespread politicisation of football fans feels new and unusual. He has tapped into the violent fringe of English football fans for his support.
