    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are slowly but surely rewriting the etiquette rules as it pertains to the monarchy. According to British etiquette expert Grant Harrold, the engaged duo is really doing things their own way when it comes to their May 19 wedding, and some of the royal precedent is essentially being shunned. The fact that the wedding is on a Saturday is the first clue that these two are marching to the beat of their own drum. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear in official engagement photos taken at Frogmore House in Windsor on Dec. 21, 2017. We're talking about the 21st century, Grant, a former butler for Prince Charles, told E! News. And we're talking about a very modern young couple a new generation of royals. Typically with second weddings Meghan ha...

    Windsor council boss calls on police to clear homeless people off the streets before royal wedding Conservative councillor Simon Dudley said rough sleepers could show the town in a sadly unfavourable light when Prince Harry marries American actress Meghan Markle in May. He tweeted that some had made a commercial life choice praying [sic] on residents and tourists. In a letter to police he complained about aggressive begging and intimidation and bags and detritus on the streets. His comments were criticised by a local homeless charity manager, who described them as sickening. Murphy James, of Windsor Homeless Project, said: It's absolutely abhorrent that anybody has got these views in this day and age, especially a lead councillor of the borough. If somebody is...

The Metropolitan Police described the suspects as a group of black males in the...

    Kate Middleton and Prince William will soon welcome their third child, but the couple still has not revealed that sex of their baby. Even though no one knows if the couple will be having a boy or a girl, the Independent recently came up with name predictions for their little one. Since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stuck with regal and classic names for their first two kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, it’s possible that they will do the same for their youngest child. Middleton and Prince William may be welcoming another girl in April, just before the third birthday of Princess Charlotte. If the couple will have another female addition to their family, they could choose to name her Princess Alice, taken after the name of Prince Philip’s mom. The cou...

    The UK's busiest train station will be hit by delays and cancellations on New Year's Eve due to another round of strikes. The long-running dispute over the role of guards on trains will impact South Western Railway (SWR) services to and from London Waterloo on Sunday, with members of the Rail, Union and Transport (RMT) union set to walk out for 24 hours. A railway station RMT general secretary Mick Cash said it was impossible to negotiate a resolution because the Government's position has caused chaos and confusion in the rail industry. Mr Cash added: It's the continuing failure of the train companies and their political puppet masters in government to make any attempt whatsoever to resolve the range of separate disputes over rail safety that has led us to call thi...

    Fewer Metropolitan Police officers will be working during London’s New Year’s Eve celebrations, Scotland Yard confirmed, despite four terror attacks in the capital during 2017. Superintendent Nick Aldworth said the police resources would be proportionate and appropriate, and that those flocking to the sold-out fireworks display on the banks of the Thames would be safe.

Mr Aldworth said: We are providing a proportionate number of officers based on the threat, number of people coming and the secure environment we’ve been able to build. We have fewer officers polic...
