King Charles often has his wife Queen Camilla at his side as he carries out his royal duties. But another female royal, who he can also count on for their backing is his sister Princess Anne. And during a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday to celebrate East and South-East Asian communities both Camilla and Anne, as well as Prince Edward, were in attendance with the King. The event celebrated the contribution East and South-East Asian communities make to Britain and there were more than 300 people at the reception from across various sectors; including the arts, media, fashion, business, and healthcare. It was a rare occasion with both the Queen Consort and Princess Royal at the same event alongside the monarch. And it seems the two women have an interesting shared past that has thawed into a more relaxed bond...

The Royal Family isn't as mysterious as it was in previous years, owing to the huge number of accounts from former royal staff about what goes on behind palace walls. While many accounts about what the royals enjoy doing in their spare time or what they like to eat are not shocking in 2023, the first private revelations that came out in a US publication from a former nanny were met with huge backlash from the palace. A number of former members of royal staff have managed to cause controversy over the years - whether that is through interviews or releasing books - but if there was someone who started the trend it would be Marion Crawford. The Scottish educator and governess worked for the Royal Family for many years but had previously worked for Lord Elgin before transferring to the household of The Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). The Queen's former nanny, Marion Crawford, left her grace and favour home in Kensington Palace after the … [Read more...] about Queen’s nanny who lost her position and respect after spilling secrets in America

Nobody minds when a firm makes profit as a result of enterprise and hard work. But Shell’s record returns came not through honest endeavour but the windfalls of war. The oil giant was able to make £1,000 every second because Vladimir Putin’s illegal ­invasion of Ukraine sent global prices soaring. Meanwhile, British Gas , whose profits have also been boosted by the conflict, has sought to squeeze even more money from customers by forcing them on to pre-payment meters. An exposé by the Times revealed how debt collectors were routinely being sent to break into customers’ homes to fit the meters. In many cases this was done even when it was known the residents had mental health issues, were disabled or had young families. British Gas said “this is not how we do ­business”. Yet it is exactly how greedy firms act when they care more about profits than people. They appear oblivious to the fact that millions of households have to choose between heating and eating. These … [Read more...] about ‘Oblivious rogue energy firms are cashing in on people’s misery as profits soar’

A Spanish holiday island hugely popular with Brits wants to cut down on the number of tourists who visit it. Lanzarote's leaders are hoping to declare the island "saturated" and is aiming for a tourist decline to "guarantee the future of generations to come." Part of the new strategy will be to become less dependent on Brits who currently account for more than half of holiday numbers. Lanzarote, which has just over 151,000 inhabitants, received 2.5 million tourists until November 2022 - 17 times its population. Now, the Island Council has advanced the idea of declaring itself a "tourist-saturated area" and claims that the idea enjoys "a broad social consensus". Lanzarote's tourism leaders want fewer tourists to come Lanzarote's president Dolores Corujo said that it would be necessary to adopt "a diversification strategy to reduce dependence on the British market." Tourism bosses say they want fewer hotel beds but of higher quality, so the island can get a more … [Read more...] about Spanish island popular with Brits wants to slash tourist numbers to tackle ‘saturation’

Gautam Adani began the year as one of the richest men who ever lived, an upstart billionaire whose conglomerate, one of India’s largest, had surged in value by 2,500 percent in five years. That rise, as he portrayed it, wasn’t his alone: It was inseparable from the “growth story” of India itself. His companies’ goals were in lock step with the country’s needs, he often said. Relying on his longstanding partnership with India’s powerful leader, Narendra Modi, he brought his private companies — spanning power, ports, food and more — into alignment with one politician more closely than any business titan before him. Now, in spectacular fashion, the fortunes of his Adani Group are crashing down even faster than they had shot up — a collapse whose pain will be felt across the country, rippling through its economic and political spheres. More than $110 billion in market value — roughly half of the Adani Group’s worth — has vanished in just over a week, like air from a burst balloon. … [Read more...] about Gautam Adani’s Rise Was Intertwined With India’s.
