Prince Harry said that his and his wife Meghan’s departure from Buckingham Palace was more a case of “stepping back rather than stepping down”, as he spoke to host of The Late Late Show, James Corden, adding that it “was never walking away” from the Royal Family. “It was a really difficult environment, which I think a lot of people saw… So I did what any father or husband would do and thought: 'How do I get my family out of here.' But we never walked away and as far as I'm concerned, whatever decisions are made on that side, I will never walk away,” the prince said during an LA-bus-tour interview with Corden.

Miracle at Tham Luang – The Thailand cave drama unfolds, a year on
On June 23, a year ago, only a few northern Thai locals and serious cave enthusiasts knew much about the Tham Luang Caves in Mae Sai district, about an hour’s drive from Chiang Rai. But on that sunny afternoon, following their regular football practice, a group of 12 players and their coach, decided to have a quick excursion to the local caves. At the time it was only going to be a quick hour of exploring the caves before heading home. It didn’t quite go as planned. Head coach for the team, Nopparat Khanthawong, turned on his phone at 7pm that night to find more than 20 missed calls from concerned parents asking where their children were. The next morning police found the young men’s bikes, bags and a few sets of shoes at the mouth of the cave. A deluge overnight had trapped the exploring team inside. It was clear to the authorities that they were unable to get inside the flooded cave. Were the team still alive? How could they get them out? Over the next two to three weeks a … [Read more...] about Miracle at Tham Luang – The Thailand cave drama unfolds, a year on
