She’s been hailed as the royal family’s ‘secret weapon’, thanks to her natural poise combined with a down-to-earth nature and resemblance to her late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, but away from the limelight Lady Louise Windsor is just like any other university student. Once dubbed an ‘English rose that is blossoming’, Lady Louise – whose parents are the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – is celebrating her 21st birthday today, and has been making the most of student life at St Andrews University in Scotland. Snaps from a fundraiser for the university’s drama society earlier this year, show the 16th in line to the throne – who has recently entered her third year studying English – partying with friends, showing off her moves on the dancefloor and snapping selfies with her rumoured boyfriend.

Kemi Badenoch demanded that Keir Starmer apologises to Donald Trump for jibes by Labour figures today. The new Tory leader slammed Sir Keir, Foreign Secretary David Lammy and other senior figures for their comments about the president elect in her debut at PMQs. She insisted that Sir Keir must invite Mr Trump to visit the UK and address both Houses of Parliament.

Kamala Harris finally phoned Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon to concede the election – hours after the race was over and her devastating defeat confirmed. But even in doing so, she issued a warning to the new president-elect, lecturing him as she offered her congratulations. ‘She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans,’ a senior Harris aide said.

Donald Trump will view Keir Starmer as a ‘lightweight woke lefty’ and will not trust him, a top US analyst has warned. Nile Gardiner, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, told DailyMail.com that the President-elect would see the Prime Minister as a ‘novice’ when it comes to negotiating. The Labour leader is currently ‘in the dog house’ after dozens of Labour activists flew to the US to help Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the election.

Donald Trump is back. But make no mistake: this was Joe Biden’s defeat. In a razor-close election, everyone looks back at all the losing candidate’s decisions and gaffes for a sign of where it went wrong. This doesn’t look that close. Trump is on pace to win the popular vote, sweep the swing states and carry some Senate races in his wake.

Emily Maitlis was told off by co-host Krishnan Guru-Murthy after she swore live on air during Channel 4’s US Election coverage. The ex-BBC journalist was slammed by her fellow presenter on two separate occasions for swearing during the station’s eight-hour broadcast, leading to calls for Ofcom to step in and sanction her behaviour. Just a few hours in, Ms Maitlis mysteriously vanished from the screen before Mr Guru-Murthy alleged that she ‘started swearing’ and promised to ‘tell her off later’.
