It will be fiendishly complicated to do it, requiring the agreement of the 15 Commonwealth realms over which the King reigns, and will open a can of worms about the monarchy in each and every one.
It is testament to the strength of feeling about the former prince that politicians have put a removal from the line of succession on the table, and the Palace has made clear it will not object to such a move. | Once we had a chance to take a breath after the breaking news of his arrest on Thursday, I had a moment to wonder just how the former prince and the Palace have ended up here.
The result is an in-depth anatomy of what went wrong, according to clear-eyed sources who know and (mostly) admire generations of the Royal family.
There are “green shoots” of change, says one insider. In this one respect – preventing another scandal of this magnitude – those green shoots can’t come soon enough. Continue reading ➤

Today, it is only 23 per cent white, with Muslim voters leaning heavily to the Left and electing a Workers Party councillor in 2024. Three miles east, Denton remains 83 per cent white, its residents navigating boarded-up shops and abandoned roadworks while leaning towards Reform. With a boundary marking out the vague shape of a battle axe on the map, these alienated worlds face a bitter by-election. Caught in a brutal pincer movement from parties on the Left and the Right, Labour faces a defeat that could shake Britain’s political foundations.

With the Islamic Republic’s survival at stake, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would hit back with everything he has.

Yet more than 60 years after the event, her death continues to fuel conspiracy theories. Was it an accidental overdose, a suicide or a murder? What really was the nature of her relationship with John F Kennedy, and is there any truth in the whispers that Robert Kennedy played a part in her death? Andrew Wilson draws from previously unpublished letters, tapes and interviews with those who were with her on the final night – her housekeeper, publicist, psychiatrist and doctor – to reveal what really happened in Marilyn’s final 24 hours.

| Bring on the warmth | Diana Henry The Telegraph’s award-winning cookery writer | This weekend, given the weather we’ve had recently, all I’m thinking about is warmth. The sun has appeared – milky and cold – a few times this past week, but I don’t trust it. I could also jinx things by daring to cook for warmer weather, for brighter skies. I nearly always yearn for apple tart and today it’s going to be a French one. It looks so good that most people can’t believe that it’s home-made. Very satisfying. | Neua tom kem (slow-cooked Thai beef) | Dinner tomorrow night will be a braise, something that cooks slowly in the oven, the oven itself warming the kitchen. I dream about eating this Thai dish – neua tom kem – from friend and food writer Kay Plunkett-Hogge. She grew up in Thailand and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the country’s food. I used to eat it in her small kitchen, other Thai dishes balanced precariously around it. The recipe is in her book, Baan (meaning ‘home’). It’s so good I’ll be cooking it for the rest of my life. Keep the recipe! | Estonian chicken soup with caraway dumplings | I will need soup on Monday and Tuesday, something to continue to warm me, and I crave this chicken soup with caraway dumplings. I appreciate that my dish suggestions today are jumping all over the place – France, Thailand and now Estonia. I have stock in the freezer, the vegetables for this are nearly always around, and I will make the dumplings – tiny and not stodgy – on Monday. The kitchen windows will fog up as I make all this. Happy days, nevermind the weather.
