    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's security bill to move to Africa could reach £1 million a year, it is claimed. Harry’s advisers are reportedly working to create a role that capitalises on the couple's 'rock star' status, that could see the pair move to the continent for up to three years. But such a move would require a dedicated team of Metropolitan Police Royal protection officers each to accompany them, The Sun reports. Their as-yet unborn baby would also be entitled to its own security, the paper adds. These security details could come with a hefty price tag, met by the British tax payer. A security consultant estimates that could be in the region of £750,000 a year, according to The Sun, with a further £250,000 to cover travel, medical and insurance costs for...

    EU unity has been one of the great surprises of Brexit: the bloc’s 27 remaining member states have managed to hold a united front in public in a way the UK a single country could only dream of. But with the UK’s departure delayed until October crucially, after the EU elections – that unity is being tested as never before, and the results are surfacing in the European parliament itself. Guy Verhofstadt, long adored by British Remainers for mocking Brexiteers and championing citizens’ rights, surprised a few of those campaigners when he stood up in the European parliament on Wednesday. “The only thing that can save us is Nigel Farage,” the EU federalist said – prompting applause from the arch Eurosceptic himself and nervous glances from the Lib Dem MEP sitting behind...

    Like any parents-to-be, Prince Harry and Meghan are busy preparing for their life-changing new arrival. And while the royal couple won’t exactly have the money worries some face with their first baby, they’ll still have many of the same hopes and fears as any new mum and dad. So, with Baby Sussex expected to arrive in a matter of days, royal sources say they are now busy concentrating on practicing birthing techniques and preparing themselves for some sleepless nights ahead. Those sleepless nights will be taking place in Frogmore Cottage, newly renovated for a reported £3million, in the grounds of Windsor Castle where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were married last year. Since they announced their happy news to the world last October during their royal tour of Au...

    The UK's porn regulator has admitted that under-18's will be able to get around the government's forthcoming age-verification measures. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which has been tasked with policing pornography websites, acknowledged that virtual private networks (VPNs) will allow users to evade the checks. VPNs work by routing the web user's connection through a foreign server, making it seem as if they are accessing the site from another country. Age-verification is not a silver bullet, the BBFC said in a statement on its website . Some determined teenagers will find ways to access pornography. However, children will no longer stumble across pornography on commercial pornographic websites. Research carried out on behalf of the NSPCC and Of...

    A Brexit supporter who sent death threats and racist messages to MPs has been jailed. Jarod Kirkman told police he was just being a stupid idiot after he targeted seven parliamentarians who had opposed the UK leaving the European Union or raised concerns about the consequences. The 51-year-old sent emails with the subject lines Brexit traitor and Brexit loser, Westminster Magistrates Court heard. Using menacing email domains including MPdeadpoliticianwalking.com, he told former Conservative MP Heidi Allen, who has since become a member of Change UK: Your days are f***ing numbered bitch. Will it be polonium or novichok? Either way you will never know, expect it soon. Kirkman, who was unemployed and lived in Luton, also targeted Labour’s David Lammy, calling him a ...

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal baby is due any day now, and we don't know much about its sex or due date, but we know for sure that he or she will be the most spoilt baby since, well... Prince Louis. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been busy prepping their little one's nursery in their new Frogmore Cottage home, the rest of the royal family have been thinking about what they'll do to mark Baby Sussex's arrival  and Queen Elizabeth in particular will be making a very special tribute to her newest great-grandchild. According to diamond expert and gemologist Grant Mobley, Queen Elizabeth II will most likely pass down her special Botswana Flower brooch, which is likely to have special meaning to the royal couple. There are many heirlooms among the Que...
