After Prince Harry and King Charles called a truce and met for the first time in almost two years, many are wondering if this almost hour-long meeting could mean a reconciliation within the Firm is closer than ever

Prince Harry gave a telling response when quizzed about the King – just minutes after father and son sat down for a 55-minute private tea.

The Duke of Sussex was snapped entering Clarence House in London at 5:20pm yesteryda, with Charles arriving more than an hour before. Harry entered the royal residence through the back entrance, before leaving after just under an hour to attend another engagement.

Just under an hour later, he arrived at an event for his Invictus event at the Gherkin in London and was asked by a reporter how his father was. An he responded: “Yes he’s great, thank you.”

Harry appeared relaxed, smiling and upbeat as he mingled with corporate sponsors and Government ministers at the Invictus reception, signalling to many that the private meeting with his father was a success.

The duke, who entered on the top floor atrium to stunning views across London, had travelled directly to the event after seeing his father at Clarence House, but was delayed by around 40 minutes due to traffic. At the reception where he met sponsors and supporters, the duke gave a speech and began by joking about his long journey across the capital, with traffic impacted by the ongoing Tube strikes.

He made his guests laugh when he said: “I think this whole thing has been delayed slightly, so at this point you’re all hammered – which was part of the plan all along, stuck up here at the top of the Gherkin.”

The meeting between Charles and Harry lasted almost twice as long as their last meeting, which took place in February 2024, with many royal watchers hoping that their private engagement will continue to pave the way for a reconciliation between Prince Harry and the royal family. According to the Daily Mail, insiders hope it is the first step to full reconciliation.

While Harry met with his father in private, the Duke of Sussex has not met with his brother Prince William, or any other member of the royal family while on his rare trip to the UK.

The reunion between Prince Harry and King Charles comes after the pair have been at odds with each other for several years, with their relationship fracturing after Harry, alongside his wife Meghan Markle, quit their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California.

Since then, Harry and Meghan have taken several public jabs at the royal family in their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, their documentary series on Netflix in 2022, and Prince Harry’s autobiography Spare in 2023.

Charles and Harry’s meeting had been reported exclusively by the Mirror, as a US source said in late August: “It’s clear there is now a determination on both sides to make this happen. Nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been resolved, but this is about beginning with Charles and Harry.

“For the first time in a long time, there’s a genuine sense that reconciliation is within reach. Prince Harry ’s team and the Palace have opened a line of communication, and there is every hope that father and son will see one another.”

If you’re looking for a brand new smartphone that rivals the likes of Apple and Samsung best-sellers, you won’t want to snooze on this current offer that can save shoppers nearly £440

Samsung launched its latest generation of foldable phones, including the much-anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7, on 9 July. This mobile has been touted as a significantly slimmer design than its predecessor, the Z Fold 6 from 2024. However, one of Samsung’s Android rivals has already grabbed the limelight with the launch of what it claims to be the world’s thinnest foldable phone.

Honor has unveiled the Honor Magic V5, a book-style folding phone that the company boasts is the slimmest foldable device worldwide. Right now, thanks to this limited-time offer, shoppers can reduce the price tag by £300 by using this discount code: AV5UK300.

Plus, shoppers who sign up to TopCashBack can claim a further £137.50 discount. All you have to do is sign up using this unique link and save £437.75 in total.

This device’s top stats don’t stop there. Honor also revealed that this phone completed reading the world’s longest book, Marcel Proust’s epic work ‘In Search of Lost Time’ on the V5 – 4300 pages—on a single charge, equating to 30 hours with 10% of the battery still remaining.

The new Magic V5 measures just 8.8mm thick when folded, beating the Oppo Find N5 by a mere 0.1mm. While this difference might seem negligible, the Magic V5’s slimness is quite noticeable compared to the 12.1mm thickness of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, which measures 5.6mm at its thinnest point when unfolded.

The V5 is a slender 4.1mm. However, according to The Verge, only the white Magic V5 model boasts this thinness. The other colour variants measure 9mm thick when folded due to their different fibre and vegan leather finishes.

Despite all the buzz about its sleek design, it’s hard to overlook the V5’s substantial camera bump on the back, as shown in the image above. Foldable phones have come a long way since the first Galaxy Fold was launched in 2019, with Android manufacturers now competing for the slimmest designs to showcase their premium devices.

The V5 boasts superior specs compared to the V3, which I previously reviewed and labelled as the best book-style foldable phone. The V5 is fitted with the latest and most powerful Qualcomm chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, along with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.

Its interior screen features a 7.95-inch folding OLED with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and peak brightness of 5,000 nits. If the outer screen is anything like the V3’s, it could be the phone’s secret weapon, offering the dimensions of a standard phone and ensuring no compromise when the device is closed. This contrasts with the Z Fold 6’s outer screen, which is narrower than that of a regular phone.

Additionally, the V5’s prominent camera bump houses a 50MP main camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. Honor continues to feature dual 20MP selfie cameras on the outer screen. With a 5,820mAh battery, the Honor Magic V5 is expected to offer outstanding battery life. Additionally, with IP58/IP59 dust and water resistance, it’s one of the most durable folding phones on the market, capable of surviving accidental dips in water.

The Honor V5 Magic Foldable mobile device is currently retailing for £1699.99 at Argos, or for the reduced price of £1399.99 at Honor’s own site when you use the discount code: AV5UK300. Plus, for a further £137.50 discount, sign up for TopCashBack here.

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was shot dead at a Utah Valley University show on Wednesday, just weeks after he launched a vile and misogynistic rant at Taylor Swift

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk took aim at pop icon Taylor Swift in a shocking misogynistic rant just weeks before his death on Wednesday.

The right-wing podcaster, 31, offered unsolicited advice to the singer’s fiancé Travis Kelce and told the Shake It Off hitmaker she could “go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter” following her engagement to the NFL star.

Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of US President Donald Trump, was shot dead at a Utah Valley University show on Wednesday.

Videos posted to social media from Utah Valley University showed Kirk speaking into a handheld microphone while sitting under a white tent emblazoned with the slogans ‘The American Comeback’ and ‘Prove Me Wrong’, before a single shot was fired.

Stunned spectators were heard gasping and screaming before people started to run away. His death was confirmed by President Trump, who called the killing “a dark moment” for the country.

Trump said he was “filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk” in a video address to the nation. “This is a dark moment for America,” Mr Trump said.

“Charlie Kirk travelled the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody ever.”

Last month, as Taylor and Travis announced their engagement to the world, Kirk opted to offer bizarre sexist advice rather than his congratulations to the happy couple.

“This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative,” Kirk told his audience on Real America’s Voice when discussing the couple’s happy news. “Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge.”

He went on to claim that Taylor possibly going from “a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter” once she ties the knot with the Kansas City Chiefs player should be something to celebrate. “She should have more children than she has houses,” he quipped.

Taylor angered MAGA supporters when she endorsed Trump’s rival in the last US election. In September 2024, Taylor endorsed US presidential candidate Kamala Harris, saying the vice president at the time was a “steady-handed, gifted leader”, signing off the post with “Childless Cat Lady”.

Prior to Taylor’s post, Trump’s right-hand man JD Vance, now vice president, called Democratic politicians a “bunch of childless cat ladies with miserable lives”. The comment sparked backlash and star’s like Jennifer Aniston condemned the politician’s cruel outburst.

Vance went on to apologise for his comments. “Obviously it was a sarcastic comment,” Vance told the conservative media personality Megyn Kelly.

“People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said. The substance of what I said, Megyn – I’m sorry, it’s true.”

Ant and Dec have since issued a statement about their 23-year winning streak ending at The National Television Awards, having missed the ceremony due to filming commitments

Amanda Holden has shared how she thinks her Britain’s Got Talent co-stars Ant and Dec will be feeling about their defeat at The National Television Awards. On Wednesday night, Gary Lineker became the first presenter to end the duo’s 23-year winning streak in the Best TV Presenter category.

Taking to the stage to collect his award, the 64-year-old joked about him being the one to finally win “the Ant and Dec award”.

He went on to say the gong “demonstrates that it is OK to use your platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice,” adding: “It’s not lost on me why I might have won this award.”

Gary’s victory followed his first nomination in the category, which also included Stacey Solomon, Claudia Winkleman, and Alison Hammond.

Discussing the result on the Heart Radio Breakfast Show this morning, Amanda said she doesn’t think Ant and Dec will be bothered by their defeat.

She said: “Gary Lineker won it, so congrats to you Gary!”

In response, her co-star Jamie Theakston said: “Unlucky lads,” before remarking: “I’m not sure they’re particularly bothered, are they?”

Amanda replied: “No, I shouldn’t think so, but they’ll be delighted for Gary, they’re such lovely boys.”

Ant and Dec, who missed the ceremony in London due to filming in South Africa, have since shared a message addressing the result.

In the video, Dec began: “Hello from sunny South Africa, it’s us. We just want to jump on here and say a huge thank you to everyone who voted for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! at the NTAs last night.”

“Yes, thank you very much,” Ant added. “Everyone here is very happy and thank you to everyone that voted for us for the Best Presenter category, even though we couldn’t get it across the line this year. We were beaten by an up and coming new guy, 64-year-old whippersnapper Gary Lineker.”

Dec went on to say: “Congratulations to Gary – great speech too.” Echoing his co-star’s words, Ant added: “Great speech, thoroughly deserved.”

Ahead of the show being aired, the pair shared another clip thanking fans for voting for them.

From their outdoor location, Dec began: “Just us coming to you from South Africa. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who voted for us.”

Ant added: “Yes, thank you so much, we really appreciate it and sorry we can’t be there but we’re in South Africa. It’s an honour to even be nominated.”

Dec then quipped: “I don’t think they have it on South African telly. You’ll have to text us!”

It wasn’t all bad news for the duo, as their show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! picked up the award for Best Reality Competition.

Collecting the gong, campmate Coleen Rooney said: “It’s amazing. It was a tough category. We’ve had a fantastic year.”

Other winners on the night included; Strictly Come Dancing for Best Talent Show, EastEnders for Serial Drama and Molly-Mae for the Authored Documentary award.

The hit Netflix series Adolescence also scooped two awards; one for New Drama and another for the show’s young star Owen Cooper in Drama Performance.

Tommy Fury shared a heartfelt message to his partner Molly-Mae after she accepted an award for her documentary Molly-Mae: Behind It All at Wednesday’s National Television Awards

Tommy Fury shared a sweet message on his Instagram stories in response to his partner Molly-Mae Hague bringing home an award for the Authored Documentary category at Wednesday evening’s National Television Awards.

Tommy reposed the winning announcement from the NTA’s Instagram page and wrote alongside: “Words can’t describe!!! So unbelievably proud of you. Well done”, followed by three red heart emojis.

Molly took home the award for her six-episode series, which was released on Prime Video in January this year and details the launch of the Love Islander’s fashion brand following her split from professional boxer Tommy. She was up against other series such as There’s Only One Rob Burrow, Flintoff and Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me.

While Tommy didn’t attend the NTAs as he was at home with their two-year-old daughter Bambi, Molly was sure to give them a shout-out in her acceptance speech.

Molly said: “Thank you to my friends and family who didn’t choose this life but came on this show for me because they knew how much it meant to me. Thank you guys, you are the best support system that I could ask for”.

“And finally to Tommy and Bambi at home, I love you so much, I couldn’t do it without you guys”.

After Molly won her award, many fans were left furious as they criticised Behind It All’s subject matter in comparison to its competition. One viewer took to X, formerly Twitter, and said: “Molly Mae winning an NTA over Rob Burrow or Amy Dowden is everything that is wrong with the world #NTAS.”

“All those wonderfully powerful documentaries and Molly Mae won!?” another exclaimed.

A third said: “Molly Mae winning that award over the inspirational people like Amy Dowden and Rob Burrow is a massive slap in the face, that’s disgusting. #NTAs”.

However, other viewers have come to the influencer’s defence as it was not her decision which documentaries she was competing alongside.

One viewer pointed out: “Let’s just remember that it wasn’t Molly Mae’s fault she won this and her speech and reference to Rob Burrow’s wife and daughters was lovely.”

Before attending the awards, Molly shared a photo of her stunning outfit to her Instagram page as she wrote: “National television awards… feeling so proud that ‘Molly-Mae: Behind it all’ is nominated tonight.”
