Kate’s Boden cardi has had a refresh, and it’s on sale(Image: Twitter/Boden)
Kate Middleton’s ability to woo people with a simple cardigan is something we all know about the royal style effect. Customers were buzzing when Boden reduced the cost of her recognizable blue scallop-collar cardigan, which is available now for $9.99, in a Seamist Blue shade.
Originally spotted on the Princess of Wales in 2021, this updated scalloped-edge knit is every bit as elegant and wearable today as it looked on her back then.
With a blend of wool, alpaca and cotton, this cardigan manages to feel both cosy and refined. It’s ideal for layering on crisp mornings or dressing up jeans for a relaxed-but-put-together look. The scalloped collar of the cardi adds just enough fun without tipping into frill. Perhaps the most exciting part for Boden fans (and royal style watchers) is now the price– now down to £59.40 instead of £99 thanks to a Black Friday 40% off sale.

England will face tournament debutants Italy at the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup, while defending champions India and Pakistan will renew their rivalry in the group stage.
England and Italy have been drawn together in Group C and will meet in Kolkata on 16 February.
Harry Brook’s side will begin their tournament against Nepal on 8 February (Mumbai) before playing West Indies (11 February, Mumbai) and Bangladesh (14 February, Kolkata).
India and Pakistan, meanwhile, are in Group A alongside Namibia, the Netherlands, and the USA, and will face off in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on 15 February. It will be their first meeting since they contested three fiery matches at the 2025 Asia Cup.

It will follow the same format as the 2024 edition, with the 20 teams divided into four groups of five. The top two teams in each group will advance to the Super Eights, where they are split into two groups of four.
The top two in each group will then progress to the semi-finals, which will be held on 4 March (in Kolkata or Colombo) and 5 March (in Mumbai).
Pakistan will play all of their matches in Sri Lanka because of ongoing political tensions with India.
The final will be hosted in Ahmedabad, unless Pakistan qualify, when it will be moved to Colombo.
Australia begin their tournament against Ireland on 11 February, with Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Oman the other sides in Group B.
Analysis: England avoid tricky draw but Group C not straightforward

All eyes are currently on the Ashes but things quickly move on when the Australia series concludes. Having exited the Champions Trophy without winning a match this year, Brendon McCullum needs an upturn in white-ball fortunes in conjunction with captain Harry Brook.
England’s group could have been worse – the trio of South Africa, New Zealand and Afghanistan in Group D is tasty – but it is not entirely straightforward.
It is a cliche but West Indies are always dangerous, though England have won their past two series against them, while Bangladesh, who have won four of their past five T20 series, could be tricky in conditions that suit.
The allocation of venues has been more kind to England. They begin in Mumbai and while they were heavily beaten there by South Africa in the 50-over World Cup of 2023 that high-scoring pitch should suit their aggressive batters and pace bowlers compared to spinning conditions elsewhere.
Two games in Kolkata, including the one against Bangladesh, is intriguing. If the pitch is like the one in last week’s Test between India and South Africa then spinners will come to the fore. It was largely flat there in the IPL this year, however, and similar conditions would suit England.
Should they progress, England will head to Pallekele – another high-scoring venue.

The UN called for “immediate and substantial” international intervention in the Palestinian territory on Tuesday, warning that Israel’s conflict in Gaza has devastated the country’s economy and threatens its very survival.
The UN Trade and Development Agency (UNCTAD) warned that a “unprecedented collapse across the Palestinian economy” had resulted from a new report warning that war and restrictions had caused an “unprecedented collapse across the Palestinian economy” and that reconstruction work would cost more than $70 billion and could take several decades.
According to the statement, “the military operations have significantly undermined every pillar of survival,” from food to shelter to healthcare, and have plunged Gaza into a human-made abyss.
“The continued, systematic destruction leaves a lot of questions about how well-equipped Gaza is to resurrect itself as a place and society,” he said.
1, 221 people were killed when the Palestinian-led Hamas attack in southern Israel in October 2023, sparking a devastating two-year conflict in Gaza.
More than 69 000 people have died as a result of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, according to UN-reliable health ministry data.
Read more about At least 50 killed in Israeli strikes, according to Gaza’s civil defense.
According to UNCTAD’s report, the magnitude of the destruction wrought on the territory has “unleashed cascading crises, economic, humanitarian, environmental, and social, propelling (it) from de-development to utter ruin.”
Even “in an optimistic scenario of double-digit growth rates supported by a significant level of foreign aid,” it said. “Gaza will take several decades for Gaza to return to pre-October 2023 welfare levels.”
UNCTAD advocated for a “comprehensive recovery plan” that combines “coordinated international assistance, restoration of fiscal transfers, and measures to ease trade, movement, and investment constraints.”
The UN agency also calls for the introduction of a universal emergency basic income, requiring that everyone in Gaza receive a renewable and unrestricted monthly transfer of cash in response to “extreme, multidimensional impoverishment” of the entire population.
According to the report, Gaza’s economy shrank by 87 percent between 2023 and 2024, leaving its GDP per capita at just $161, one of the lowest levels ever.
The West Bank’s situation was worse, but according to the report, “violence, accelerated settlement expansion, and restrictions on worker mobility have decimated the economy there as well,” “resulting in the worst economic decline since UNCTAD began maintaining records in 1972.”
Senator Mark Kelly’s video, in which he and other Democrats urged soldiers to disobey “illegal orders,” has the attention of the US Department of Defense.
The video was made public last week. Kelly, Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire’s Representative Jason Crow, Colorado’s Representative Jason Crow, and Michigan’s Senator Elissa Slotkin are among the six Democratic lawmakers who have previously held positions in the military and intelligence services.

In a post that came with the video, Slotkin stated on X that they wanted to “interview directly with members of the military and the intelligence community.”
You must defend our Constitution and our laws, according to the American people. Don’t abandon the ship, Slotkin remarked.
Members of the military and the intelligence community are our first priority.
You must defend our Constitution and our laws, American people.

The lawmakers claimed in the video that the public’s trust in US intelligence and military services was “in danger.”
The lawmakers claimed that the administration is pitting American professionals in the intelligence and military branches.
You all swore an oath to defend and protect this constitution, just like us. The video continued, “The threats to our constitution are right here at home right now not just coming from abroad.”
You can reject unlawful orders, according to our laws.
The Pentagon has opened an investigation into Kelly’s alleged breaches of military law, which is an unusual move against retired military personnel, in response to the video.
The US Army Manual for Courts-Martial states that “an order requiring the performance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful and it is disobeyed at the risk of the subordinate.”
However, that inference does not apply if an officer gives an order that is “patently illegal,” such as ordering the commission of a crime, or is in contravention of the constitution or US law.
Everything we know is presented here:
Former US Senator Mark Kelly and former congresswoman Gabby Giffords [File: AFP]
Mark Kelly, who is he?
Former senior navy officer and pilot who participated in combat missions during the first Gulf War, the Arizona senator.
Kelly took up spaceflight in 2001 and completed four space shuttle missions, two of which were in the capacity of astronaut.
Kelly retired in 2011, moving her rank to the lower rear admiral.
Kelly completed Republican Senator John McCain’s death in his first Senate campaign in 2020. Kelly was re-elected to a full term two years later. He has focused on the military and national security in the Senate.
Is Kelly’s assertion regarding “illegal orders” accurate?
Bruce Fein, a lawyer with a focus on international and constitutional law and who previously served as the Department of Justice’s Associate Deputy Attorney General, said Kelly was “simply echoing the law.”
For instance, a member of the US armed forces is required to disobey a superior’s order, which is obviously illegal. No “following orders” defense exists, Fein claimed.
Lt. William Calley was found guilty of war crimes in the Vietnami civilian massacre of 1968. His “following orders” defense was rejected, he continued.
The Pentagon investigation’s then, what’s the deal?
The Pentagon claimed in a statement that was posted on X on Monday that it had received “serious allegations of misconduct” against Kelly, implying that the video had violated the “loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces.”
Further actions have been initiated, including the recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures, according to the statement. According to the statement, “This matter will be handled in accordance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality.”
“All service members are urged to obey lawful orders and that they are obligated by the UCMJ [Uniform Code of Military Justice] to do so. The personal philosophy of a service member does not support or justify disobeying a lawful order, it continued.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on X that the “seditious six” lawmakers in the video were “despicable, reckless, and false” the same day.
Every aspect of “good order and discipline” is undermined by encouraging our warriors to ignore their commanders. Their foolish screed only encourages doubt and confusion, Hegseth said, adding that only Kelly falls under the purview of the Department of Defense.
Hegseth said Kelly’s actions “discredit the armed forces and will be handled appropriately.”
Kelly is the only lawmaker to have formally retired from the military, which means he can still be called back on active duty or face a court martial for misconduct. All six of the lawmakers served in the military or intelligence agencies.
What has Kelly said about the course of his actions?
Kelly claimed to have “sworn an oath to the Constitution in 1986” in a post on X on Monday.
“I’ve upheld it every day since I retired after 25 years of service.” It won’t work if [President Donald] Trump is attempting to intimidate me. Bullies who care more about power than the Constitution have silenced my country because I gave too much, he claimed.
In a post last week, Kelly claimed that his country “had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at numerous times by anti-aircraft fire, and been launched into orbit.”
Never did I anticipate a President ordering my execution, “. Trump argued that the Constitution is unintelligible, and that everyone is safer for it.
Trump’s statement: what?
The president claimed that the video was “really bad, and Dangerous to our Country” in a post last week on Truth Social.
“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!” he stated. Trump stated in a separate post that it was “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH.”
Trump, however, claimed that he wasn’t threatening death and that the Democrats were in “serious trouble” the day after his comments.
When asked how far the Trump administration could actually pursue its investigation or charge against Kelly, Fein responded that it could “harass Kelly with a spurious investigation or charge.”
Why is this the focus of the Trump administration?
The video sparks outrage as the US military strikes ships suspected of carrying drugs by the Trump administration.
At least 83 people have died as a result of the strikes in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee requested at the end of October that the DOJ provide all legal advice regarding the legality of military strikes.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that the Reuters news agency saw, they wrote that “summarily killing criminal suspects is prohibited under domestic and international law both during peacetime and during wartime.”
However, a DOJ memo stated that killings committed by service members could not be brought to justice.
