It is not yet known whether they will join the duke on any visits outside the capital. Prince Harry had intended to travel with Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, to an event marking one year until the Invictus Games in Birmingham. He's also due to visit some charities he supports. It has been four years since the children last saw their grandfather in person and the King has offered to put the family up at an unnamed royal residence. There have been concerns over how they would be protected in the UK, amid reports last weekend that a request for taxpayer-funded police protection had been denied. At the time, a source said the duke could decide to leave his family at home. "The hope is they can meet their grandfather," the source added. "But there is no way that can happen if they are chased by paparazzi wherever they go from the moment they step off the plane." However, it emerged yesterday that the prince's security team was still looking at options to make the visit viable for the whole family. The duke last year lost a legal battle with the government over his security in the UK after it was downgraded when he decided to stop being a working royal in 2020. He is still waiting for Ravec, the committee that decides on protection for royalty and public figures, to review his case after making a personal appeal in December. The reason for Harry not bringing his family to London is likely due to concerns from his security team and the lack of an up-to-date assessment by the Risk Management Board (RMB), whose work informs Ravec. It was meant to have met in March and would have given a fuller picture of the potential threats faced by the duke and his family, but the meeting didn't go ahead. Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, last saw the King at the late Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations in 2022. Sources stress the monarch is not involved in decisions about his son's security.

A government spokesperson said: "It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on protective security arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals' security."

West Coast Railways' Jacobite train service runs through the Highlands from Fort William to Mallaig and passes over the renowned Glenfinnan Viaduct. The viaduct - on the West Highland Line - had a starring role in a number of the boy wizard movies based on JK Rowling's books, and attracts thousands of excited Potterheads from around the world hoping to catch a glimpse of the "Hogwarts Express". According to the National Trust for Scotland, Glenfinnan welcomes 600,000 visitors annually. As the Jacobite's latest season gets under way, Network Rail Scotland is urging visitors to put safety first. Neil Cook, route crime manager, said: "The Jacobite steam train's journey over Glenfinnan Viaduct is a magical sight but it's not worth risking your life for. "Too often, we receive reports of dangerous behaviour, with people climbing fences, standing on the railway, or walking along the track to try to get closer. "Trains can come from either direction, are quieter than people expect, and can't stop quickly. "The Glenfinnan Viaduct Trail offers dedicated viewing spots and most importantly, keep people a safe distance from the railway. "We insist everyone visiting uses those areas and helps keep themselves and others out of harm's way." Read more from Sky News:Queen meets JK RowlingWonka star's voice recreated by AI Trespassing on the railway is a criminal offence and applies to the tracks, the viaduct and surrounding railway land. Anyone caught can be removed, issued a fine and prosecuted in court. Chief Superintendent Lorna McEwan, from British Transport Police, said: "Stepping on the tracks is never worth the risk - it's illegal and puts lives in immediate danger. "Every trespass incident not only risks serious injury or worse but also causes major disruption for passengers and freight across the network. "We work closely with our partners at Network Rail to detect and deter trespass, as well as taking enforcement action for anyone who disregards the rules and places themselves or others in danger. "Please follow the advice - stay off the tracks, follow the guidance, and enjoy the view safely."

Ferrari's Hamilton held off Antonelli at the start but succumbed to near constant pressure from the Mercedes driver on the eighth circuit of the 17-lap contest, before the Italian teenager pulled clear to claim the first Sprint win of his Formula 1 career. Antonelli's championship lead over his Mercedes team-mate George Russell grows to 43 points, with the latter unable to get past McLaren's Lando Norris for third in the closing stages.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Antonelli said: "The momentum is there. We are doing a great job together with the team but we cannot let our guard lower. "Lewis and Ferrari are doing an incredible job. Red Bull and McLaren are coming and George is super quick. We just need to keep raising that bar and keep delivering performances." Antonelli eventually finished 2.7 seconds clear of Hamilton, and the pair were in a league of their own, with a further seven-second gap back to Norris in third. Norris came out on top of a thrilling five-car battle for third, with Russell finishing ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Red Bull's Max Verstappen and the other McLaren of Oscar Piastri, amid regular changes of position during the first half of the race. Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson held off Red Bull's Isack Hadjar to take the final point in eighth as he escaped with a warning following a post-race investigation into a questionable defensive move in the closing stages. Antonelli reasserts himself in title battle While the limited points available in the Sprint mean Antonelli's win only increases his championship lead by three points, the 19-year-old's performance was something of a statement. His lead has shrunk at the last two rounds after a technical failure in Barcelona was followed by a third place in Austria, despite the fact he appeared to have the best race pace of any driver on the grid at each event. Antonelli may have been concerned of a repeat of his shaky start in Austria last weekend when a charging Norris momentarily took second from him on the opening lap, but he calmly reclaimed the position immediately before setting about chasing down Hamilton. The seven-time world champion used all of his experience to keep Antonelli at bay for a while, but came unstuck as he used up a big chunk of his electronic energy to defend early on lap eight, leaving him vulnerable down the Hanger Straight moments later. "It was a very fun first 10 laps with Lewis, we were both pushing very hard," Antonelli said. "When I got into Overtake [Mode], I knew my chance was coming. Out of Turn Four I was very close, so I went alongside into Brooklands but he used the boost, so I decided to wait. Going into Stowe I used everything I had, then I was able to overtake. "From that point on I tried to get into my rhythm and try to break the Overtake Mode [which you get when you are within one second of the driver in front] then bring it home." Hamilton was unable to apply any serious pressure after that, with Antonelli gradually pulling clear on his way to the chequered flag. Antonelli ultimately cruising to victory while Russell battled in a secondary race behind leaves the Brit needing to respond in qualifying later on Saturday to avoid losing the momentum he built by winning in Austria. Hamilton, who moves within four points of Russell in the drivers' standings, appears to be Mercedes' most likely challenger, with the nine-time British Grand Prix winner continuing to appear in complete control of his Ferrari. Hamilton said: "(It was a) tough race to keep the Mercedes behind. I did say that was potentially the case yesterday and obviously with it being so windy today, a big, big headwind down the back straight, he came flying past. "I was pushing as hard as I could, I gave it absolutely everything. But well done to Kimi and we've got work to do to try and close that gap so we can keep up."

Peak temperatures of 34C are forecast and a new hosepipe ban has been announced. Temperatures in the South of England could reach 28C on Saturday, according to the Met Office. It said temperatures are forecast to rise to 29C on Sunday, then approach the low 30s next week, before the South East sees a peak of 34C on Thursday or Friday. It is expected to be a prolonged spell of hot weather in parts of the UK, but the forecaster said it will not be as hot and humid as last month's heatwave. See the weather forecast for your area Yellow health alerts issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) come into force at midday in parts of the UK, with health officials cautioning that high temperatures over the coming days could cause a greater risk to life for vulnerable people. The warnings cover the East Midlands, east, southeast and southwest of England, as well as the West Midlands, until 8pm on 11 July. The agency said minor impacts were likely across health and social care because of the high temperatures within the warning areas, including increased use of healthcare services by vulnerable people and a greater risk to life to the same group. It also warned of a potential increase in water-related deaths, including risks from cold water shock and drowning. Meanwhile, Southern Water has issued a hosepipe ban from 12.01am on 10 July in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, while South East Water's temporary hosepipe ban for people living in Kent came into force on Friday. The bans stop customers using their hosepipes for non-essential activities, including watering gardens, using a sprinkler system, filling paddling pools, hot tubs, swimming pools, ponds or fountains, and washing cars, patios or windows.

"Elsewhere, it's not as hot as we have got temperatures closer to average but they will climb as we go into next week. "The northern areas of the country will be cloudier with spells of rain at times, so there's a north/south split. "There will be highs of 29C tomorrow in the south. At the start of next week we will see temperatures approach the low 30s." She added: "The peak of the heat appears to be Thursday or Friday, 34C in the South East. "By comparison to the heatwave we saw in June, this heatwave won't be as hot and humid, but it will be a prolonged spell of hot weather which lasts around a week." Last week the UK set a provisional June temperature record of 37.7C in Lingwood in Norfolk, according to the Met Office. It beat the previous June record for the UK of 35.6C, which dates back to 1976.

Posts on Willis's Facebook page and the band's official page confirmed his death, with his wife saying she made the announcement with "profound sadness". The post on his page said: "Victor passed away on Tuesday June 30, 2026 as a result of a short, but aggressive illness. The family request privacy at this time of great loss." His death came the day before his 75th birthday. Village People rose to fame in the 1970s, becoming known for their camp, feelgood songs and flamboyant, fancy-dress-style costumes which were symbolic of American masculinity at the time - including a construction worker, a cowboy and a biker. Willis was known for styling himself as a policeman, a naval officer and an athlete during their performances. Their hits included Macho Man, Go West - later covered by the Pet Shop Boys - and In The Navy, but it was the unstoppable disco anthem YMCA that earned them platinum sales and number ones around the world. In the UK, it spent 16 weeks in the Top 40 between 1978 and 1979, including three weeks at the top of the chart. Thanks to its earworm catchiness and accompanying dance routine, it has remained a regular at weddings and parties ever since. In 2020, the song was inducted into both the Grammy Hall of Fame and the US Library of Congress National Recording Registry, which aims to "ensure the survival, conservation and increased public availability of America's audio heritage". It was adopted as an anthem by the gay community, despite the singer saying several times the intention was to offer a more universal message, and that it was about his own experiences growing up - although other members of the group interpreted it differently. "I wanted to write a song that could fit anyone's lifestyle," Willis said in one interview The singer left the group in 1979, with several performers taking over on lead vocals over the years. After his depature, the band featured in the 1980 US comedy film Can't Stop The Music, a pseudo-biography of their story. Almost 40 years later, in 2017, Willis rejoined and "revamped" the band, they say in their website biography. 'Music without politics' Donald Trump began using the song in his 2020 re-election campaign, which he lost to former US president Joe Biden, and the group initially issued a cease and desist letter. However, Mr Trump used the song again in his successful 2024 election campaign, which concluded with a line-up of the band performing at events around his 2025 inauguration. In a statement on his own Facebook page at the time, Willis explained why the band had decided to accept the invitation. "We know this won't make some of you happy to hear, however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics," he wrote."Our song YMCA is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost. Therefore, we believe it's now time to bring the country together with music." Read more from Sky News:How much did Trump make from crypto last year?Govt bid to clear drugs, weapons and gangs from prisons The performances took place despite one former Village People member, Jim Newman, writing on Instagram to say the original band "would never ever" perform at a Trump rally. Willis was still performing with the band earlier this year, sharing a post on Facebook in May after completing the first leg of a European tour. The band were due to play further shows across Europe and the US, as well as a YMCA Convention in Ontario, Canada, throughout July, according to their website.

Speaking on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, Harriet Harman said that although Mr Burnham has "got a strong team of women around him and he's got a good record in Manchester of always including women and not having a boys' club", the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) "are not prepared to take it on trust any more". Politics Hub: Follow the latest Baroness Harman added that the number of women in Mr Burnham's cabinet is going to be a "central issue because the women are going to make it so". Mr Burnham is currently the only declared candidate in the upcoming Labour leadership contest, with no other candidate expected to run against him. He will likely become prime minister on 20 July if he remains the only candidate. Baroness Harman said there would be "no more playing nice by the women in the Parliamentary Labour Party", following accusations of a boys' club and misogyny in Downing Street under Sir Keir Starmer. "They really want to see their place on equal terms now," she added. Put to her by Sky's political editor Beth Rigby that, as deputy Labour leader under Gordon Brown she was denied the post of deputy prime minister, alongside reports that Mr Burnham could appoint both Miliband brothers to senior roles in his cabinet, Baroness Harman said there is "scar tissue here". The Women's PLP has drafted a letter to Mr Burnham demanding he ensures at least 50% of ministerial jobs, and jobs in Number 10, go to women, our political reporter Faye Brown has reported. Mr Burnham attended a meeting of the Women's PLP on Tuesday, with multiple sources present telling Sky News that he was receptive to the jobs idea. 👉 Click here to listen to Electoral Dysfunction on your podcast app 👈 'Regretful' the next leader likely be another man Baroness Harman added that while there has "been a very big welcome for Andy Burnham", female Labour MPs were also "regretful that once again, the Labour Party has got their next male leader". Labour have never had a female leader, although they have had two female acting leaders, including Baroness Harman. The party has had four female deputy leaders, including the incumbent, Lucy Powell. Some female Labour MPs have told Sky News that the demands made of Mr Burnham over jobs will make it more likely that a woman succeeds him when the time comes. "There are many talented women in the PLP. The chances of them succeeding [Burnham] are more likely if you've held high office," one MP said.

Six-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek lost the first set on an epic tie-break to Eala, 21, before capitulating in the second set to lose 7-6 (11-9) 6-2. Eala has made history by becoming the first player from the Philippines to reach the fourth round of a major. Swiatek claimed her first Wimbledon title last summer when she delivered a crushing 6-0 6-0 final victory over Amanda Anisimova.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract 📱 But this week she has struggled to produce her best level and went close to going out in the first round to Taylor Townsend before winning through in three sets. The 25-year-old sobbed into her towel at the end of that victory and later admitted to nerves ahead of opening Centre Court as the defending champion on Tuesday afternoon. Against Eala she was made to pay for a number of forehand errors and a series of double faults - five in total across the match. Emotions got the better of Swiatek again, this time an angry outburst during a thrilling first-set tie-break when she was trailing 4-2 and threw her racket into her bag. Swiatek had already fought back from trailing 5-3 in the opening set to force a tie-break and then dug deep to level in the breaker at 5-5. She even earned two set points only to squander them and lose the tie-break 11-9 after 85 minutes of brilliant action. Eala, who had beaten Serena Williams' conqueror Maya Joint to book her place against Swiatek, looked right at home throughout on her first appearance on the main show court at Wimbledon. And when she broke in the opening game of the second set and raced to a 4-0 lead, there was only going to be one winner. In fact, the only time Eala showed any sign of nerves was when attempting to close the match out, needing three match points to get the job done. 'For someone who grew up in the Philippines it is huge' Eala was emotional in her on-court interview and reflected on her younger days when she could only dream of such a moment. "I'm really emotional. For someone like Iga Swiatek, who has won so many Grand Slams, this achievement may seem small but for someone who grew up in the Philippines it is huge," she said. "I went to train with my brother and my grandfather every day after school with my ruffled socks, light-up shoes and chubby cheeks, so to younger me this is everything. But, obviously, just because I'm emotional does not mean I'm satisfied, so next round let's go!" Eala is a huge star in the Philippines and has a massive social media following. By the end of her victory over Swiatek she had 1.1 million followers on Instagram and that number is sure to rise after her stunning success. "It is incredible to have my countrymen cheering me on, knowing that we are all in this together. This goes out to them, my family and all the girls with ruffled socks and chubby cheeks. It means the world." Second seed Rybakina falls on day of shocks While Swiatek was slipping to defeat on Centre Court, over on Court One there had already been one huge shock as second seed Elena Rybakina suffered defeat in straight sets. Rybakina, who won Wimbledon in 2022, was beaten by 25th seed Elise Mertens 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 in one hour and 36 minutes. "It's impossible to win everything," Rybakina reflected after her defeat. "I just try to move on. I mean, I lost so many times. I'm sure I'm still going to keep losing. "I'm of course upset, but it's not going to take more than one, two days [to get over it]." Rybakina's defeat ensures Aryna Sabalenka will keep her No 1 ranking after the tournament. Sabalenka faces Naomi Osaka in the fourth round on Sunday.
