Almost 9 million people watched King Charles's coronation live on TV in France, where the pomp and ceremony sickened the radical left while impressing the far right.As the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who is close to Charles, attended the service at Westminster Abbey, congratulating the monarchy who he said were friends to France, the French media's massive focus on the event with souvenir front pages and lengthy TV specials across different channels caused high emotions across the polarised political landscape.

London's Metropolitan Police said they arrested 52 people on Saturday, most for offenses that appeared connected to the coronation of Charles III, including public order offenses, breach of the peace and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.In the afternoon, the police said that all those arrested remained in custody.

Queen Elizabeth II's death in September ended the longest reign in Britain's history and began a seismic shift for the majority of Britons who have never known life under any other monarch.Her son Charles III, who will be crowned in the new year, has inherited a number of scandals, including the sexual-abuse allegations against Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages in 2022; and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's self-imposed exile from royal life, which has been dramatically re-litigated in the couple's Netflix docuseries.

Britain crowned its first new monarch of the 21st century on Saturday as King Charles III swore an oath of duty not to be served, but to serve seven months after the death of his mother.His wife Camilla was crowned Queen.Cheers, bells and gun salutes nationwide marked the historic moment in a ceremony with one or two modern touches but mostly tradition including persistent rain that fell just as it had 70 years ago, in 1953.

It rained.Of course it did.It wouldn't have been a proper coronation if it hadn't.Brits wouldn't have had it any other way.We were born to suffer.Keep calm and carry on.The first guests had started arriving at Westminster Abbey from early in the morning.Among them the lucky MPs who had received an invite.

The UK Treasury has opened an account on Discord to a torrent of abuse from users of the gamer-focused chat app  abuse they managed to send despite the government blocking all comments on the service.As Twitter's future looks increasingly uncertain, prominent users are preparing alternatives, directing followers to Facebook and Instagram accounts, handing out their Mastodon addresses, and setting up servers on chat apps such as Discord.

It was an image that spoke to a nation in mourning, and even those not deep in mourning felt the natural empathy of the dog-lover: Muick and Sandy, the Queen's corgis, attended by footmen as they watched her funeral procession.What would be the dogs' fate?Did they even understand that their destiny had changed for ever?

Britons would rather see Prince Andrew attend the coronation of King Charles III than the Duchess of Sussex, new polling suggests.In an exclusive survey for The Independent, 43 per cent of people thought the Duke of York should attend the historic service marking his brother's ascension to the throne.

When former President Donald J. Trump asked a Manhattan judge to delay a civil trial over allegations that Mr. Trump raped the writer E. Jean Carroll decades ago, his lawyer cited a deluge of prejudicial media coverage of Mr. Trump's recent indictment.But the judge, Lewis A. Kaplan of Federal District Court, denied the request, saying that there was no justification for a postponement and that many of the news stories were invited or provoked by Mr. Trump's own actions.

Friends close to Prince Andrew have hit out at reports that he is planning to write a memoir.On Sunday, a number of newspapers claimed that the Duke of York was in talks to produce a tell-all autobiography, following the success of Prince Harry's book Spare'.However, friends of his family have taken the unusual step to make his views known following the reports.

Prince Andrew is considering a tell-all memoir that would set the record straight about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports.The Duke of York is said to be in talks with a top US author and interviewer, for a book that has already been described as Spare 2.0, after Prince Harry's bestselling release.

The Duke of Sussex has marked the 40th anniversary of the UK's leading HIV and sexual health charity, Terrence Higgins Trust.In a letter, released on Monday (6 March), Prince Harry said his work with the charity is a big piece of his mother's legacy, referencing Princess Diana's philanthropic work with people living with HIV and AIDS.

The Duchess of York has pledged to do all she can to help Prince Andrew afford to stay at Royal Lodge, her friends say.Prince Andrew has lived at the Grade II listed building in Windsor for 20 years and shares the seven-bedroom property with his former wife Sarah.He has been keeping a low profile since being stripped of his royal duties and reaching an out of court settlement with Virginia Giuffre last year.
