King Charles appears to have subtly responded to Meghan Markle following reports that she has no plans to return to the UK. On September 15, the monarch issued a heartfelt birthday message to his son, Prince Harry, hinting at the possibility of a reunion. Following the King’s lead, Prince William and Kate Middleton also paid a moving tribute to the Duke of Sussex on his special day. Notably, the royal family did not publicly acknowledge Meghan Markle’s birthday, which she celebrated in August.

MOSCOW: Russia’s security service said on Friday it had revoked the accreditation of six British diplomats in Moscow after accusing them of spying and sabotage work, signalling the Kremlin’s anger at what it sees as London’s vital role in helping Ukraine. Britain described the accusations as “completely baseless”, saying it was a tit-for-tat action after the UK expelled the Russian defence attache and removed diplomatic status from several Russian properties in May. Russia announced the expulsions hours before talks in Washington between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden, a crucial step towards winning the go-ahead for…
SEATTLE: Boeing’s US west coast factory workers walked off the job on Friday after overwhelmingly rejecting a contract deal, halting production of the planemaker’s strongest-selling model and sending shares down over two per cent.

The mounting crises hit Boeing’s stock and sparked a leadership upheaval. The shares fell 2.1pc in the early morning trading session. The stock has lost nearly 38pc so far this year, losing $58 billion in market…
