I still remember the moment I met Jake – handsome, strong, middle-class Jake. It was like the scene in a rom-com when the protagonist meets the man you just know she’s going to marry. He was charming, funny and had this incredible energy about him that drew me in – all the while being just ordinary enough not to come off like a player or a narcissist.

Prince Harry and Meghan ‘turned back the clock’ with ‘an homage to their Royal days’ a new video message released today, a body language expert has said. The Duke and Duchess of Sus𝑠e𝑥 made their first joint appearance in nearly three months today as they spoke about online violence against children – a cause that is deeply important to them. Both wearing dark blazers with Remembrance poppies fastened on their lapels, the Sus𝑠e𝑥es called for greater protections for ‘the most vulnerable in our world’ against the threat of digital violence and harm.

Supersonic test plane XB-1 smashed its top speed record Tuesday, screaming through the sky at Mach 0.82 or 499 knots (575 miles per hour) true air speed. The milestone, achieved high above California’s Mojave Desert, marks the closest that aerospace innovator Boom Technology’s supersonic demonstrator aircraft has come to traveling faster than the speed of sound, Mach 1. Boom’s XB-1 effort promises to deliver the technical knowhow for their future supersonic passenger jet, Overture: a Mach 1.7 craft slated for testing in 2026.

The appalling scenes of violence in Amsterdam following the game between home side Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv from Israel exposed the terrible price we are now paying for the two ideologies – mass immigration and multi-culturalism. Our civilisation is now so fractured that an event as innocent as a football match can serve as a vehicle for anti-Semitic thuggery and intimidation on a very troubling scale. The shocking disorder on the streets of the Dutch city was more than another outbreak of hooliganism.

Prince Andrew claims to have raised the funds to remain at his £30million home at Royal Lodge in Windsor. And last night it was reported that the Duke of York has had his money approved by the Keeper of the Privy Purse, Sir Michael Stevens. The King stopped paying for his brother’s £3million-a-year security at the 30-room home last month, raising questions about whether Andrew would be able to support himself financially and remain living there.

A new gang has emerged in India, reportedly linked to the South Korean mafia, dominating drug smuggling and gun sales. The gang’s leader is described as extremely dangerous,…

No one expects politicians holding very different viewpoints to agree on much. But the language of diplomacy evolved down the ages so politicians could speak calmly, politely and rationally to one another in order to explore mutually beneficial ways of co-operating. Many say we have lost that – and are poorer for it. David Lammy proves this point. The Foreign Secretary will try to persuade Donald Trump not to hike tariffs on British exports to the US. Hurting your closest allies, he says, is self-defeating.

About 20 years ago I was sent to interview a little known comedian my editor at the time had been told was one to watch. Off I went to a north London cafe, blissfully unaware of the bizarre spectacle I was about to witness, as a strange man with hair so matted it had turned into dreadlocks bowled in and began to tell me how beautiful I was. He wasn’t a vagrant off the street, but my interviewee. With a flourish, he told me that my eyes were lovely. Could he kiss me, he asked, before I’d even had a chance to sip on my coffee.
