Prince Harry and the King could soon be seen sharing a public moment together for the first time in years, with next year's Invictus Games in Birmingham a likely setting. Such a visible reunion would carry meaning far beyond royal ceremony, signalling that the rift between father and son may finally be healing.
The Duke of Sussex and the King have not been seen sharing warmth in public since the Queen's funeral in 2022. Harry attended his father's coronation the following year, but the two did not interact and he left soon after.
Since then, much has been said, written and regretted as the family's differences played out before the world. Yet beneath the titles, bitterness and endless headlines, they remain a father and son who, like any family, surely want to get along and find their way back to each other.
A fitting place for healing
Invictus is built on courage, recovery and refusing to give up, making it a fitting place for that healing to be seen. An appearance together in Birmingham would show that even deep wounds can mend, and could mark the moment reconciliation finally moves from private hope to public reality for both of them.
Trump's brinkmanship and forecourt thefts
Elsewhere, Donald Trump again threatened Iran with death and destruction, only to pull back at the eleventh hour. His reckless brinkmanship drove up oil prices, leaving motorists to pay. Petrol now costs 160p a litre and diesel 179p.
Fuel thefts from forecourts have risen by a fifth, with nearly £200,000 stolen every day. More drivers are filling up and speeding away, while repeat offenders pile pressure on retailers already facing higher costs, staff abuse and threats.
However hard household budgets are squeezed, theft can never be excused. Offenders must face justice. But while Trump keeps claiming peace is close, his boasts offer little reassurance. This reckless war must end before more lives, livelihoods and family finances are wrecked.
Britain's hidden health secret
Russell Valentin crossed the Atlantic and discovered Britain's greatest health craze: smaller portions, fewer mystery chemicals and plenty of walking. Nine stone later, he is living proof that the country's food can work wonders. Britain's secret weapon, it turns out, was decent grub, smaller servings and a long walk home each night.
