Il Tempo: Harry e Meghan furiosi per l'ultima biografia reale: "Teorie del complotto" Harry e Meghan hanno accusato Tom Bower, autore di una nuova biografia della famiglia reale britannica, di "teoria del complotto e melodramma". In alcuni estratti del libro, pubblicati dal Times, Bower afferma che la regina Camilla avrebbe confidato a un'amica che Meghan Markle aveva "fatto il lavaggio del cervello" al principe Harry. Scrive inoltre che Meghan è diventata un "elemento di divisione" ed è stata vista dal Principe di Galles e da Kate Middleton, Principessa del Galles, come una "minaccia". Un portavoce del Duca e della Duchessa di Sussex ha dichiarato che Bower "ha da tempo oltrepassato il limite tra critica e ossessione". In una nota rilasciata ieri, la coppia ha affermato: "Si tratta di una persona che ha dichiarato pubblicamente: 'la monarchia dipende di fatto dall'eliminazione dei Sussex dal nostro Stato', un'affermazione che parla da sé". "Ha costruito la sua carriera elaborando teorie sempre più complesse su persone che non conosce e che non ha mai incontrato", hanno aggiunto Harry e Meghan, come riporta la Bbc, "chi è interessato ai fatti cercherà altrove; chi invece è alla ricerca di teorie del complotto e melodrammi assurdi sa esattamente dove trovarlo". Harry and Meghan furious over the latest royal biography: "Conspiracy theories" Harry and Meghan have accused Tom Bower, author of a new biography of the British royal family, of “conspiracy theory and melodrama.” In some extracts from the book, published by the Times, Bower claims that Queen Camilla confided to a friend that Meghan Markle had “brainwashed” Prince Harry. He also writes that Meghan became a “divisive element” and was seen by the Prince of Wales and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, as a “threat.” A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stated that Bower “has long crossed the line between criticism and obsession.” In a statement released yesterday, the couple said: “This is a person who has publicly stated: ‘the monarchy effectively depends on the elimination of the Sussexes from our state’, a statement that speaks for itself.” “He has built his career by developing increasingly complex theories about people he does not know and has never met,” added Harry and Meghan, as reported by the BBC, “those interested in the facts will look elsewhere; those seeking conspiracy theories and absurd melodrama know exactly where to find him.” #Harry #Meghan #TomBower #British #Times #Bower #Camilla #MeghanMarkle #KateMiddleton #Wales #Sussexes https://www.iltempo.it/esteri/2026/03/15/news/principe-harry-e-meghan-markle-biografia-reale-teorie-del-complotto-william-kate-46816640/

So committed to Wales that Farage and ReformUK can't even be bothered to check they've spelt the Welsh correctly on their publicity. That's just the sort of attention to detail that we want from a party calling itself the government in waiting. Not Bloody Likely. #Farage #ReformUK #Wales https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/people-spot-major-blunder-nigel-33541385.amp

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Rail fares on #Transport for #Wales services will be frozen for a year from 1 March, the #Welsh Government has announced. Marking St David’s Day, First Minister Eluned Morgan said the move would give passengers certainty during the cost of living squeeze and help encourage rail travel. The freeze covers all TfW tickets, including advance singles, returns and tap in, tap out pay as you go, introduced outside London for the first time. Ministers said investment of £1.1bn in the Core Valleys Lines and South Wales #Metro, alongside £800m for new trains with 80% more capacity, had improved reliability and boosted passenger numbers. Transport Secretary Ken Skates said the freeze supports wider efforts to keep public transport affordable. https://www.gov.wales/freeze-tfw-rail-fares-next-year

A new rail station at #Deeside Parkway is set to strengthen links between North East #Wales and Liverpool, improving access to Deeside Industrial Estate, one of Europe’s largest employment sites, and easing pressure on local roads. During a visit to the proposed site, Transport Secretary Ken Skates said the project forms part of a £14bn rail investment backed by the #Welsh Government and #UK Government. The station will enhance connections to Liverpool’s jobs and education centres, the Port of #Liverpool and Liverpool John Lennon Airport, supporting cross-border commuting and inward #investment. Planned for completion as early as 2027, the scheme will use a modular approach to speed up delivery. It is one of seven new stations proposed across Wales under a wider programme to improve sustainable transport in the region. https://www.gov.wales/new-deeside-station-bring-cross-border-boost

Eluned Morgan MS, First Minister, has published a written statement launching #Transport for Wales’s long-term rail plan, Today, Tomorrow, Together: A vision for rail across Wales and Borders, on 18 February 2026.

Building on previous investments—including £1.1bn to upgrade the Core Valley Lines and £800m for a new train fleet—the plan follows the UK Government’s £445m rail commitment. The First Minister says passenger satisfaction and demand are already rising, with the statement marking a major step in the next chapter for rail in #Wales. https://www.gov.wales/written-statement-vision-rail-across-wales-and-borders

Great Western #Railway has launched a new campaign celebrating the myths and legends of the South West and #Wales, featuring the Famous Five on a quest to find a dragon reportedly seen flying across the region. The 60-second film, directed by Oscar and BAFTA winner Peter Baynton, follows the group as they travel from #Cardiff to #Penzance, with landmarks including Cardiff Castle featured. Inspired by GWR’s 1920s tourism posters, the campaign revisits regional folklore to encourage leisure travel. It runs across cinema, television, radio, outdoor and digital platforms until 5 April. The Famous Five ‘Adventures Start Here’ campaign began in 2017 and recently won APG’s Long Term Thinking award. https://news.gwr.com/news/famous-five-chase-dragon-across-the-south-west-and-wales-in-new-gwr-campaign

Foreign money will be barred from influencing #UK elections under the Representation of the People Bill, introduced to Parliament today. The legislation tightens rules on political donations, requiring companies to prove a genuine UK link and sufficient revenue, alongside new “Know Your Donor” checks and stricter oversight of unincorporated associations. The Electoral Commission will gain stronger enforcement powers, including fines of up to £500,000. The Bill also extends voting rights to 16- and 17-year-olds in all UK elections, bringing the system into line with #Scotland and #Wales. Ministers say the reforms will strengthen transparency, deter foreign interference and protect candidates and staff from intimidation. Pilot schemes in 2026 will test more flexible polling locations, such as supermarkets and train stations, to improve access. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tougher-rules-on-political-interference-to-keep-uk-elections-secure

In Welsh mythology, the woman Blodeuwedd was created from the flowers of the broom, meadowsweet, and oak by the wizard Gwydion to marry his ward Lleu. However, Blodeuwedd fell in love with Gronw and tried to murder Lleu. As a punishment, Gwydion transformed her into the first owl. 🎨 Yuri Leitch #MythologyMonday #Mythology #Folklore #Wales #Celtic #Bird #Owl #Mabinogion #Mabinogi

I can imagine the conversations within the #London #maladministration. ‘We need to approve another data centre’ ‘Why’ ‘Oh #AI and #Palentir and keeping #US tech companies happy and other things, mumble mumble’ ‘What about water and power requirements’ ‘Who cares, if Londoners complain we will ship it in from #Wales or #Scotland’ ‘Fine’ ‘What about #environmental assessments?’ ‘Screw them, we have avoided them in the past’ https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/23/uk_gov_dc/
