The Queen praises brave witnesses who risked their lives in the London Bridge attack
The Queen today thanked the brave witnesses who risked their own lives to tackle the terrorist who stabbed two people to death in a rampage near London Bridge yesterday.
In a statement, the Queen said: “Prince Philip and I have been saddened to hear of the terror attacks at London Bridge.
“We send our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones and who have been affected by yesterday’s terrible violence.
“I express my enduring thanks to the police and emergency services, as well as the brave individuals who put their own lives at risk to selflessly help and protect others.”
Prince Andrew unlikely EVER to return to public life after Epstein scandal and disastrous BBC interview
Prince Andrew may never return to public life after revelations about his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, royal sources have said.
The Duke of York was further hit by a disastrous Newsnight interview and is bracing himself for more allegations from a woman who claims she slept with him while she was a sex slave of Epstein.
In Monday’s Panorama programme Virgina Roberts, 35, who claims she had sex with Andrew on three occasions when she was 17, is expected to reveal more details about her time with him.
Prince Andrew has always categorically denied any wrongdoing and has condemned Epstein.
Prince William and Kate Middleton bake a Christmas meringue roulade with Mary Berry
Prince William and wife Kate Middleton pose with Mary Berry after baking one of her recipes — a Christmas meringue roulade.
They then compared their creations with Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain in Rosewood London hotel’s winter chalet.
Wills, 37, was filming A Berry Royal Christmas for BBC1 in which he visits charities with Mary, 84.
At homeless charity The Passage, Wills said: “Growing up, both of my parents were hugely charitable. I think I’ve grown up in a household which has been very much a case of ‘Well, we’re very lucky — you must give back’.”
Prince Andrew has kept in touch with Ghislaine Maxwell
Prince Andrew has kept in constant touch with “pimp” Ghislaine Maxwell throughout the Jeffrey Epstein crisis.
We told last week the beleaguered Duke, 59, entertained his paedo pal Epstein’s ex at Buckingham Palace in June.
And a source said: “They have remained constantly in touch by phone and email. The duke has an unswerving loyalty to Ghislaine and she is very loyal to him.
“They both share the view they have done nothing wrong.
“They talk regularly. If he wasn’t in the spotlight at the moment he would have found a way to meet up with her.”
