On Sunday afternoon the cameras clicked on a family relaxing in the sunshine at a polo match. Naturally, the focus of this carefree sequence were the children, Prince George, four, and his three-year-old sister Princess Charlotte, the royal scene-stealer-in-chief. For once, George, so often uncomfortable in the public gaze was a picture of playful intent, whether it was swiping a ball with his cut-down polo stick, playing make-believe cowboys or just obediently watching 'papa' Prince William on horseback. But while the young Prince and his sister with her skipping and somersaults are certainly charming, the stand-out element of this tableau of family happiness is surely the children's mother. Sitting bare-legged on the ground with sunglasses casually propped up on her head, they are the most extraordinary pictures of ...

Prince Edward lands in Birmingham ahead of commemoration service Prince Edward was last night slammed for a 'blatant abuse of public money' after taking a private jet costing taxpayers an estimated £6,000 for a 133-mile journey between engagements.

Boris Johnson could skip Commons vote on Heathrow expansion Theresa May insisted an expanded Heathrow airport can be a symbol of post-Brexit Britain today after Cabinet finally gave the green light to the project. The Prime Minister said the huge project was part of the overhaul needed to ensure the UK can 'thrive' outside the EU.

A cross-party coalition of MPs is gearing up to try to derail the plan in a Commons vote next month. Critics warned that the project, which was first mooted more than 15 years ago, amounted to taxpayers signing a 'blank cheque' that would pollute the air and disrupt communities.  Tory whips fear the result could be close and are expected to order the party's MPs to back the proposal - to the fury of opponents who believe t...
