Was Prince Harry wrong to sue the Daily Mail? How did Olivia Dean and Sam Fender make chart history this week? Which pop stars should we thank for the resurgence of the vodka cranberry?
Prince Harry and other high-profile claimants have lost their High Court case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. Should stars let sleeping dogs lie over historical allegations of journalistic malpractice?
Olivia Dean and Sam Fender have made chart history with their song Rein Me In, breaking the record for the longest-running number 1 single by a British act. But what song might stop them from breaking further records if England wins the World Cup?
Step aside, obscure liquers. The new drink of the summer (apparently) is a Vodka Cranberry. So why is the Y2K beverage making a comeback, and what does it have to do with pop royalty Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo?
