Since his arrest last week he has been ordered not to go horse riding. It's considered a bad look. They don't think he should be seen grinning and smiling on his horse like he was in Windsor. But it was one of the few things he actually enjoyed doing so what on earth is he going to do with his time?

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of the UK's King Charles, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after further details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein emerged. Thames Valley Police confirmed that the force had opened an investigation into an offense of misconduct in public office, and had arrested a man in his sixties. Mountbatten-Windsor turned 66 on Thursday.
Much of the work of the royal family in recent weeks has been overshadowed by the Epstein scandal, which was reignited when millions of documents associated with the convicted child sex offender were released by US authorities. These sparked a string of allegations against William's uncle and have led to UK police launching an investigation into Peter Mandelson over alleged misconduct in public office. The former minister has denied any wrongdoing.

The minutes, seen by journalists before they were pulled, appear unremarkable and include a note that a change in rules could mean costs for the then Prince Andrew as a UK trade envoy would be funded by the Royal Travel Office rather than the former Department of Trade and Industry adding 90,000 to its budget.

PA Media Princess Beatrice has said premature birth can be "incredibly lonely", as she reflected on her own experience for a podcast ahead of World Prematurity Day. Her words are part of a campaign for premature birth research charity Borne, of which she became a patron months after her daughter was born several weeks early. "I think so often, especially as mums, we spend our lives, you know, feeling we have to be perfect to do this," Beatrice told the podcast.
As Parker-Bowles puts it, devastatingly: Look, we have Belvoir and Bottlegreen. But they use concentrates. Why can't we make a really high-end British cordial? Mind. Blown. You didn't know about this. You didn't know about the grail of the not-from-concentrate cordial. You didn't know what we have here is a genuine seeker, product of a youth spent poring over the pans, face smeared with tears, bilberry reduction, seeking something that goes beyond cordial and into, well, art.

The ruling affirms that, notwithstanding their public duties as members of the royal family, their Royal Highnesses and their children are entitled to respect for their private lives and family time, without unlawful interference and intrusion.
Buckingham Palace has disclosed a wealth of detail about the state banquet at Windsor Castle hosted by the king for Donald Trump from the 139 candles to the 1,452 pieces of cutlery, all lovingly polished by hand but all that anyone really wants to know about is the seating plan. In Windsor Castle's St George's Hall, the 50 metre-long table runs the length of the room, offering a tantalising indication of a pecking order among the 160 guests.
But key to the father and son mending their tattered relationship: Harry needs to be careful about saying anything about the meeting for public consumption. While Charles was keen to meet with Harry, any long-term reconciliation is up to the California-based Duke of Sussex maintaining discretion and not sharing details about the meeting to friendly reporters. The King has always left the door open for Harry to come back to Britain.
