Princess Kate turned heads at Royal Ascot in a bold yellow Roksanda dress—sustainable, stylish, and seriously statement-making. With a fitted top, full skirt, and dramatic shoulder bow, she paired it with vintage royal jewels (Queen Elizabeth’s earrings, Princess Diana’s pearl bracelet) and a chic new hat. Yellow’s the summer’s hottest hue, and Kate’s look proves it’s wearable, radiant, and accessible—high street finds now offer similar bows, puff sleeves, and midi silhouettes. Bold color + smart styling = instant impact.

Lemn Sissay takes us back to his childhood in Makerfield, a town now thrust into the political spotlight by a by-election, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the real motives behind the politicians. Amid the buzz, he shares a local’s longing for simple normalcy — just a pasty without political questions — and lends his poetic voice to the campaign, using “Anthem of The North” to stir hope. His vivid memories of 1960s Lancashire — the corner shop, the rag and bone man, the high street’s lost charm — still echo in his work, grounding his connection to the place. Though the town has changed, its people remain resilient, a “salt of the earth” bound by shared history and community. Even after years away and a turbulent past in the care system, Sissay keeps returning — finding unexpected kindness and proving that human connection, and the power of place, endure.

David Hunter, the British expat convicted of manslaughter in Cyprus for the death of his terminally ill wife, has died at 78 after declining health since his release. The case, which sparked global debate on mercy killings in a church-opposed country, saw Hunter initially sentenced to two years but released after serving time. He remained in Cyprus near his wife’s grave, having married her for 52 years. Legal appeals continued post-release, as his team sought to uphold the verdict, while his family expressed profound grief and gratitude for the support they received.

Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester’s mayor, is making a bold political comeback by running in the Makerfield by-election, positioning himself as the voice of change amid Britain’s political crossroads. With Hugh Grant lending celebrity clout and Reform UK’s challenge looming, Burnham’s campaign also faces a wildcard: Restore Britain, which could split the right-wing vote and boost Labour’s chances. While PM Keir Starmer quietly offered Burnham a Cabinet role in exchange for staying put — and warned of leadership delays — Burnham’s inner circle insists this is about grassroots power, not party loyalty. With internal Labour pressure mounting on Starmer, Burnham’s gamble could reshape the nation’s political landscape — one vote at a time.

Thirty-two years after the Chinook helicopter crash that killed 29 people, families are demanding a new inquiry, challenging the government’s claim that it’s too late. While a 2010 review cleared the pilots, critics including former panelist Lord Malcolm Bruce argue that review ignored broader systemic failures and possible cover-ups. Bruce insists it’s not too late to uncover the truth, calling the government’s stance “adding insult to injury.” Other panelists, including Helen Liddell, allege they were misled, and former defence secretary Sir Liam Fox hinted the MoD knew about engine software flaws. Families, like Andy Tobias, are outraged that decades of unanswered questions now yield only the response: “You should have found the truth sooner.” The Ministry of Defence says it’s engaging with the campaign but won’t comment on ongoing judicial review proceedings.
