One of the round two FA Cup matches on Tuesday will pit Super League side Selangor against current Premier League leaders Negeri Sembilan, a match that will be played at the Red Giants’ home the Selayang Municipal Stadium. The match is expected to be a lot closer, despite what the separation in the tiers may suggest, and an upset may be on the cards. The Red Giants, depending mainly on youngsters and former back up players, are riding their luck so far defying the expectations of many, having collected one win, two draws and one defeat, including a goalless draw away to JDT on Saturday....

Last year’s 6.8 percent inflation rate was the highest since 1982. Seventy-two percent of Americans, according to a mid-December CNN poll, say the government is doing too little to reduce it. Some, such as University of Massachusetts economics professor Isabella Weber, are now proposing government-mandated price controls. As Robert Schuettinger and Eamonn Butler demonstrated in their 1979 book, Forty Centuries of Wage and Price Controls, price controls have been imposed throughout world history—and unfailingly fail....

An affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Friday asserts that process server Cesar Sepulveda gave a copy of the lawsuit to a police officer guarding Andrew’s residence at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, England on Aug 27, according to Reuters.

Norman Baker, a former Liberal Democrat lawmaker, made the remarks after a 2017 credit application emerged, revealing the funds were approved on the strength of Queen Elizabeth II’s reputation even though staff said it was “not in line with the risk appetite of the bank,” according to Bloomberg, which first reported on the transactions. David Rowland, a Conservative Party donor, transferred the same sum to Banque Havilland 11 days later, with the money earmarked to repay the loan, Bloomberg said....

Virginia Giuffre claims the Duke of York sexually abused her when she was a 17-year-old trafficking victim of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. However, lawyers for Queen Elizabeth II’s son will today, January 4, tell a court in New York she has no right to bring the claim due in part to a past settlement agreement she signed. Giuffre sued Epstein and in 2009 settled out of court for $500,000, agreeing not to pursue further claims against “any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant....

The Duke of York’s royal patronages were also handed back to his mother Queen Elizabeth II with her “approval and agreement.” Newsweek has been told the decision to strip him of the roles was also with the prince’s agreement and a source close to him said he will fight the case against him.

Clarence House said in a statement: “This morning The Prince of Wales has tested positive for COVID-19 and is now self-isolating....

These are depressing times for fans of baseball’s knights of the round table, or round knights of the training table, as it were. But all is not lost. Just as baseball as a whole is undergoing a rapid generational change, with Fielder, Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira on the way out and young stars like Kris Bryant, Bryce Harper and Mike Trout becoming the faces of the game, there also is a shift happening with the guts of the game....

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took the 8-year-old royal to his first Wimbledon tennis tournament where he watched Novak Djokovic win the men’s singles final. However, some commentators picked up on the fact the future king, third in line to the throne, was dressed in a full suit and tie. George himself commented on the weather as he arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, telling his parents he was “too hot” on July 10....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have repaid $3.2 million used to renovate Frogmore Cottage so it was fit for them to raise baby Archie prior to their shock exit from royal life. They are also no longer receiving public money from Prince Charles after signing a mega deal with Netflix last week, Newsweek confirmed yesterday. The two developments mean they have achieved the financial independence they vowed to obtain when they first made their plans to step back as working royals in January....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s team at Schillings have sent letters to British media organizations warning the allegations in the article are defamatory and “should not be repeated.” The stand-off relates to what the couple told the Queen about their intention to call their daughter Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. The first name is Elizabeth’s lifelong family nickname dating back to childhood when she could not pronounce her own name. Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson told Newsweek the prince “shared their hope” of using Lilibet prior to the official announcement....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew home from their tour of New York last week on a Dassault Falcon 2000, The Sun reported. The trip saw them campaign for vaccine equity at the Global Citizen Live concert in Central Park on Saturday but also created an estimated 17 tons of carbon, the newspaper reported. And it came on the back of Prince Harry flying home from a polo tournament in Aspen, Colorado, by private jet in August....

Broken by Page Six (which obtained a copy of Harry’s memoir Spare ahead of its official release on January 10), Harry’s revelation that he returned from his visit from the far north with a frostbitten penis formed one of many leaked stories from the highly anticipated memoir which were published on Thursday. Referring to his penis using the colloquial slang term “todger,” Harry wrote, per Page Six, that his father was “very interested, and sympathetic about the discomfort of my frost nipped ears and cheeks,” on his return home, but added that he didn’t overshare about his intimate issue....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were stripped of their taxpayer-funded police bodyguards through a decision taken by the Home Office’s Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) in February 2020, a month after they announced they would quit royal duties. However, Harry wants the right to pay privately to continue with a Metropolitan Police security detail during visits to Britain, and his lawyers indicated they will soon file his second judicial review on the subject....

British royal correspondent Katie Nicholl has written in her upcoming book, The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, that William and Kate’s next big move will be into the Windsor Castle home of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 on September 8. Reportedly, the royal couple and their three children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, recently moved into Adelaide Cottage, a small home in the shadow of the castle....

The Earthshot Prize was unveiled with a brief video voiced by veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough in a post on the Kensington Palace Twitter account. “Who is ready to lead as we make the 2020s a decade of action to repair our planet?” a caption alongside the clip said. “Introducing the @EarthshotPrize.” “The earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate and problem-solve,” the Duke of Cambridge said in a statement shared on Twitter....

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals set a September 22 execution date for Glossip, 59, after a federal judge rejected a challenge to the state’s lethal injection protocol. But a group of 61 Oklahoma legislators—44 Republicans and 17 Democrats—have urged Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor to join their request for a new hearing, citing an independent investigation by a Texas law firm that raised concerns about Glossip’s guilt and conviction....
