Setting out an explanation for why they are partaking in the show, he centres attention on the media, saying: “This is about duty and service and I feel being part of this family, it is my duty to uncover this exploitation and bribery that happens within our media.”
“I saw things, I experienced things, I learned things — the pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution.”

Harry has described how Meghan meeting the Queen for the first time was a “shock to the system”.

The government has announced a £229m deal with Saab to purchase more of the Swedish-developed fire-and-forget missiles, which have proved extremely effective at destroying Russian tanks thetimes.co.uk/article/britis…
Weighing 12.5kg (28lb), the shoulder-launched missile systems are manufactured in Belfast by the subcontractor Thales UK, a subsidiary of a French defence company.

They have a range of up to 800m (half a mile) and use a predicted line of sight to lock on to targets
The UK has donated about 7,000 missiles to Ukraine, a figure representing about half the British stockpile, defence sources have told The Times.

Each missile costs about £30k, meaning the new contract should replace all those given to Kyiv thetimes.co.uk/article/britis…
