Prince Harry announced on March 25 that he had stepped down as a patron of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in memory of his mother, after a monthslong dispute between the charity’s chair and the board of trustees broke into the open. Harry and his fellow co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, said they had quit in solidarity with five board members who had resigned over a dispute with the chair, Sophie Chandauka. Both Ms. Chandauka and the group of former trustees have made allegations of wrongdoing against each other, and both parties said they had submitted claims and evidence of their arguments to Britain’s Charity Commission. Why did Prince Harry resign from the charity? Harry founded the charity with Prince Seeiso in 2006.

The idea of getting her eldest child a smartphone had long felt inevitable, said Daisy Greenwell. When she talked to other parents, “everyone universally said, ‘Yes, it’s a nightmare, but you’ve got no choice,’” recalled Ms. Greenwell, 41. Then Ms. Greenwell, who lives in rural Suffolk, in the east of England, posted her thoughts on Instagram. “What if we could hold off until they’re 14, or 16?” She added a link to the WhatsApp group. Today, more than 124,000 parents of children in more than 13,000 British schools have signed a pact created by Smartphone Free Childhood, the charity set up by Ms. Greenwell, her husband, Joe Ryrie, and Ms. Fernyhough.

A CAMPAIGN to end the provisions that accompanied the women-bishops legislation of 2014, put in place to provide for those unable to accept women’s ministry (News, 28 July 2014), was launched by Women and the Church (WATCH) on Saturday. She was “fully behind the amazing work that WATCH undertakes to hold the Church to account with regard to its iniquitous treatment of women”, she said. The Principles were part of the package that accompanied the Measure that enabled the ordination of women to the episcopate. “What muddies the water is that, in many, if not most of those churches, ordained women’s ministry has not been welcomed or accepted. “The important thing is that it’s debated.”It is hoped that the diocese of Southwark may be the first to carry the WATCH motion.

But showing the drama widely in schools will "help students better understand the impact of misogyny, dangers of online radicalization and the importance of healthy relationships," his office said. "It seems like the whole nation is talking about 'Adolescence' and not just this nation," Starmer said. "And that's the devastating effect that the problem of misogyny has on our society. "Jack Thorne, a co-writer on the show, said the team behind "Adolescence" made it to provoke a conversation. "We hope it'll lead to teachers talking to the students, but what we really hope is it'll lead to students talking amongst themselves.

A reporter has opened up about how he overcame his struggles with epilepsy to begin his journalism career. Cambs Times journalist Oliver Murphy spoke about his diagnosis to mark Purple Day, the international epilepsy awareness day. “Fast forward to now and with the right combination of medication, support and determination I’ve just about adjusted to life with epilepsy. “I’ve learnt that no matter the issue, resilience and confidence in yourself is the key to navigating any struggle. “And if Purple Day is to teach us anything, it’s that we must continue to talk about epilepsy to improve awareness and remind those that are still coming to terms with their diagnosis that you’re not alone.

The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution says that presidents can only serve up to two full terms (eight years). Trump has said he may feel “entitled” to more while also suggesting he doesn’t want to run again after his next term ends in January 2029. I wouldn’t be in favor of a challenge [to the 22nd Amendment]. Not for me,” Trump told TIME in April last year. In November, Goldman introduced a resolution affirming that the 22nd Amendment would bar Trump from a third term.

A POLICE raid on a Quaker meeting house in central London on Thursday evening has drawn condemnation from politicians and charities, and prompted criticism of the current law on protests. The group is not formally affiliated with the Quaker movement, but had hired a room for that evening’s meeting. An elder of the Westminster Quaker Meeting, Mal Woolford, was on the site at the time of the raid, and characterised the raid as “ridiculously heavy-handed”. “No one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory,” he said, and drew attention to legislation passed in the past three years which restricts the right to protest. “Like many faith communities, Westminster Quakers offered their spiritual home as a safe space for those working for peace — a simple act of hope in a broken world.

The Financial Times, which also leads with the story, says her hopes have been "shattered" by the ruling, which it claims has "upended France's political landscape", external. The looming US tariffs feature on the front pages of the Times and the Daily Telegraph. The Times says an exemption for UK goods is "considered unlikely", external, and any failure of negotiations with Washington would be a "blow" to the prime minister. A source described as being "familiar with trade negotiations" tells the paper, "There should be no free trade, without free speech." But a Labour source tells the Mail there's nothing in the document suggesting preferential treatment for black people.

An award winning scheme to cut waiting times for eye patients is saving an NHS trust £250,000 a year. At the moment, digital records are not generally shared between optometrists and hospitals, but high street opticians in Gloucestershire are now able to access hospital eye examinations, images and statistics.

Programme Director of Clinical Programmes at NHS Gloucestershire, Kerry O'Hara said: "We are so proud of the difference it is making."

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, Libby Purves is right: it is not for publicly funded police forces to enter the fray between dissatisfied parents and offended primary schools (“Police do us all an injustice with these arrests”, Mar 31). If a school does not like what its parents are saying then it can simply block undesired emails or it can make its case to a civil judge and ask for an injunction to be granted, if it can establish sufficient grounds. However, seeking the arrest of parents for the (perhaps excessive and vociferous) care for their children is not appropriate: it merely adds cost to the public purse and grist to JD Vance’s mill when he talks about civil liberties in the UK.

As a child, Chloe-Lea would often ride the bus alongside her mother, fascinated by the world of transport and the role she played in keeping the community connected. Inspired by her mother’s dedication, she knew from an early age that she wanted to follow the same path.

Reflecting on their shared journey, Marie said: “I’m very proud of Chloe-Lea for choosing to build her career in this industry.

Thousands of federal employees who were forced to return to their offices in recent weeks have made some disgusting discoveries - including a lack of toilet paper and rodents. Donald Trump promptly ended work from home options for federal workers upon taking office, saying anyone who does not 'show up to the office on time and on schedule' will be fired. Ever since, federal employees across the country have found themselves in cramped offices where they have been forced to clean toilets and take out the trash, according to the New York Times. Together, the unidentified employees have said the Trump administration's efforts to bring back federal workers has been marred by a lack of planning and coordination, leading to confusion and even more inefficiency. At times, the federal workers are even forced to share office space with people from other agencies - creating chaos as they all try to video conference at different times.

NEW DELHI: The Indian govt has described as factually incorrect and misleading a New York Times report claiming that an Indian firm - state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited - facilitated transfer of sensitive British equipment and technology from a Reform UK party donor to Russian arms agency Rosoboronexport.According to the report, the Indian company received equipment from HR Smith group, which donated £1,00,000 (just under $1,30,000) to Reform UK last year, and, within days, sent parts to Russia with the same identifying product codes.Govt sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the report was factually incorrect and misleading, and has tried to frame issues and distort facts to suit a political narrative.

India's robust legal and regulatory framework on strategic trade continues to guide overseas commercial ventures by its companies," said an official.
