Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Now you realise what you are capable of and how much you can trust someone, together you will achieve a shared objective with ease. Think about joining forces to purchase some property or start a business together. Building a solid financial foundation will help you relax and sleep better.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

If you’re struggling with a task you would like to master, think about taking an online course. Learning to read financial statements, earning a professional license or gaining a recognised certificate can all be a good use of your time and effort. A knowledgeable friend will offer helpful tips and guidance.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

A professional friend will make you an offer that you won’t want to refuse. This is your chance to join a business from the start. This move could put you on the ladder to success and the role itself will be a welcome change to your usual responsibilities.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

Your hard work has attracted the attention of a senior colleague and you intend to make the most of this. Being able to foresee needs, expectations and trends in your industry will benefit you greatly. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself featured in a blog or website. Making an extra effort is indeed noteworthy.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

You’re grateful to have a talented mentor who is willing to spend time with you. They can see how you understand the importance of mastering the fundamentals. Learning the best techniques can lead to some extraordinary achievements. Someone will offer to pay you handsomely for your skills.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

A well-meaning friend or relative will offer some poor advice. You will sense immediately that they do not understand your situation. Be careful about who you take into your confidence. Protecting yourself will lead to greater happiness. Avoid making yourself vulnerable to insensitive people.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

Conversations with someone close will lead you to revealing more about your feelings than you usually do. Open up to a trusted friend about your hopes and fears. Their support and reassurance will help you to keep going. You are closer to reaching a goal than you realise. Don’t quit now; you’re almost there.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

No matter what the circumstances you can trust your conscience to guide you in the right direction. If there are problems in the workplace and this leads to lower pay or you having to carry out jobs other people refuse to do, so be it. Your reward stems from a profound source some people will never understand.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Your friends and family are both excited and supportive about your achievements. They will provide you with the encouragement you need to keep going. Although you might act like you don’t care about other people’s views, deep down, you seek the approval of those close to you. Be truthful.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Be cautious of charismatic people who will try to exploit your kindness. They aren’t bothered about the consequences you face for giving them special treatment. Remember, you owe them nothing. Prioritise your own needs over others and don’t listen to anyone who accuses you of being selfish.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Don’t hold back when you are offered an opportunity to earn a commission. Grab it with both hands. This will set you apart from the competition. It is time you receive the rewards you deserve for your exceptional skills.

Prince William ‘confronted’ Prince Harry over Meghan Markle before wedding, it’s claimed

Channel 5 documentary Harry & Meghan: The Wedding That Split Two Families included discussion about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials seven years ago and the build-up

There’s said to have been a confrontation between Prince William and Prince Harry over Meghan Markle in the lead-up to the couple’s wedding. The eldest brother reportedly brought up claims that his future sister-in-law was ‘difficult’ to staff.

Meghan, now 44, married Prince Harry, now 40, in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in 2018, with his family among the guests in attendance. The couple, who later stepped back from their royal duties, are said to have been involved in tension behind-the-scenes amid preparations for their nuptials.

They have faced rumours of a rift with his brother Prince William, 43, and sister-in-law Princess Kate, 43, in recent years. It’s also been claimed that former actor Meghan was considered “difficult” to work with by aides at the time.

The apparent tension around their nuptials was the subject of the Channel 5 documentary Harry & Meghan: The Wedding That Split Two Families, which aired tonight. It included ‘reenactments’ and interviews with commentators.

At one point, claims that Meghan was deemed ‘difficult’ were discussed. Prince Harry and Meghan are said to have shared a team with Prince William and Princess Kate, which reportedly added to tensions ahead of the wedding. It was suggested that a “number” of staff ended up leaving.

The Mail on Sunday’s Charlotte Griffiths said: “It’s really important to the Royal Family not to act like you’re some lofty Hollywood celebrity and to be very kind to your staff. Y’know these are the people that you trust around you.”

The documentary alleged that Prince William ended up confronting his younger brother over the situation. The narrator told viewers: “With disgruntled employees becoming more vocal, William confronts his brother.”

Charlotte suggested that he wasn’t a “peacemaker” amid the apparent tensions at the time. She said: “William didn’t play peacemaker, actually. William pointed this out to Harry and said you’ve got to get this girl in line.”

Years after the wedding, it was reported in 2021 that Meghan had been accused of “emotional cruelty” and that, according to the Times, a complaint had allegedly been submitted in 2018. She later issued a statement in which she addressed ‘bullying’ allegations.

As reported at the time, ahead of their interview with Oprah Winfrey, a spokesperson for Meghan and Prince Harry told news outlets: “Let’s just call this what it is – a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation. We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of The Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet.

“It’s no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining The Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and The Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years.”

Elsewhere in the statement, the spokesperson said: “The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma. She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good.”

Miriam Margolyes ‘wants to be put down’ if health deteriorates further in update

Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes has shared her support for assisted dying after sharing her health conditions – including the need for knee surgery that she fears she would not survive

Miriam Margolyes has candidly shared her thoughts on assisted dying

Miriam Margolyes has candidly opened up about her desire to be able to access assistance in dying if she required it amid an ongoing health battle. The Harry Potter star has reflected on her life and health at length in recent days.

Having turned 84 earlier this year, Miriam has confessed she wished she had taken better care of her body – and admitted she is feeling her age now she is in her twilight years. And in one frank new interview, she has shared her thoughts on assisted suicide.

While assisted dying is not currently legal in the UK, a new bill has been proposed by the current government which could change this. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, if passed, could make it legal in England and Wales for a patient to request a termination of their own life in the coming years.

Opening up to the Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine, Miriam shared her thoughts on her life – and how she may want to end it, should her health deteriorate. She explained: “I’ve let my body down. I haven’t taken care of it. I have to walk with a walker now.

“I wish I’d done exercise. It’s the most ghastly waste of time, except that it keeps you going. So, I’m foolish.” And in a moving admission, she went on: “I don’t want to go through a slowly diminishing period of pain and embarrassment.

“If a stroke meant I couldn’t speak, or I was doubly incontinent, or I lost my mind completely, I would ask to be put down. That’s because I want to be who I am. I don’t want to be less than I can be.”

Her new comments come just days after she explained that she feared she would die after going into hospital to have surgery performed on her knee.

Speaking to Dr Oscar Duke on a recent episode of the health-themed Bedside Manners podcast, the award-winning star said: “Well, this knee that he replaced is pretty damn good.

“This knee, which he didn’t because I opted not to have both done at once, this knee needs to be done. It will not be done. I will not have any more operations.”

When asked why, Miriam explained: “I think I wouldn’t recover. I’ve had a TAVI, which is a replacement aortic valve done outside the chest, not with open-heart surgery.

“It was extremely well done, but I think that I am vulnerable now, and I don’t think I would survive an operation, so I’m not having one.”

The commentary comes amid Miriam’s return to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with the show Margolyes and Dickens: More Best Bits. Prior to its launch, a video shared by organiser Fane Productions showed Miriam assuring that she was “very much alive”.

In the video, which was posted on social media last month, she was seen saying that fans “might have seen” speculation that she was “at death’s door”. Miriam however then dismissed the suggestion in the video message at the time.

She was seen teasing in the clip that she was “raring to go” for her latest show at the annual festival in Scotland. She was heard saying in the video: “B******s. I’m very much alive and raring to go to the Edinburgh Fringe this year.”

Miriam has previously suggested that she has up to six years left to live. She made the prediction in an interview with the Telegraph that was published last year.

Raye halts headline All Points East gig as crowd goer suffers emergency mid set

EXCLUSIVE: Award-winning singer Raye paused her headline gig at All Points East Festival for several minutes after someone in the audience fell ill

Raye paused her sold-out headline set at All Points East for several minutes after someone in the audience fell ill. The 27-year-old Escapism singer is the headline performer at the festival in Victoria Park this weekend, with the likes of Tyla, FKA Twigs and Jade also hitting the stage.

However, she had to stop her performance for one to two minutes after a number of people pointed out that someone fell in in the crowd, with the Mirror understanding that the person may have fainted. “She was very nice about it all,” someone said about the emergency situation.

A few more people in crowd were seemingly injured during her set, with Raye telling the crowd: “There’s a lot going on in the audience tonight, security can you just look down there, thank you.”

The temporary pause in her gig comes after fans shared complaints about the dustiness of the entire event.

The festival which attracts thousands of fans every year is held at Victoria Park and last week Cleo Sol and SAULT headlined on Friday, while the next day fans were treated to Chase & Status.

Despite a number of huge stars performing at the event, fans were focused on how dusty the entire area was, with some claiming their lungs were filled with it.

Taking to Twitter/X, one person posted: “I’m sure I’ve lost my voice because my lungs is covered in dust.” Another disappointed person added: “We all left looking like we’d been in the mines all day.”

Another attendee commented: “Don’t go to All Points East unless you want to come back looking like a chimney sweep.”

One fan chimed in with: “I’m sure I I’ve lost my voice because my lungs is covered in dust.” A fifth person said: “I loved yesterday at all points east, not the biggest dnb fan but the vibe was insane.”

They added: “However, two showers later and I still feel dirty, coughing up so much dust and I’m supposed to do it all again next week? Pls let it rain I’d rather slid about than smell that dust again.”

Other stars performing on Saturday included Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns, Nia Smith, Bimini, Mackanzy Mackay and more.

On Sunday, Maccabees are headlining the festival with Bombay Bicycle Club, CMAT, Black Country, New Road and more hitting the stage.
