The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be planning to move their family back to the UK.

Harry and Meghan are plans to leave the US later this month and move to a private, non-royal residence close to London, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The couple’s children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are set to start at a British school in September, the newspaper reported.

The King was made aware on Sunday that the Duke and Duchess plan to return to live in the UK, and is said to welcome the opportunity to see more of the family in a personal capacity, but there will be no change in their status as private individuals.

The couple moved to the United States in January 2020.

The Independent have contacted a representative of the Duke and Duchess for comment.

This is a breaking news story, more follows.

A murder investigation has been launched after a 48-year-old woman died and a further eight people were taken to hospital following a house fire in west London.

Emergency services, including the Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance Service, were called to reports of a fire at the property on Berkeley Avenue, Hounslow just after 1am on Wednesday.

A 48-year-old woman died in hospital. Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Another woman, aged 40, remains in a life-threatening condition.

The force said six men and one woman who were taken to hospital have since been discharged with minor injuries.

Images from the scene show a light-coloured terraced house that has been blackened on the outside, with window pains pealing and part of the upstairs eaves apparently melted.

The door appears badly affected and the fire damage reaches the neighbouring house.

A cordon stretching about 50 metres was in place on Wednesday evening as forensic officers and police worked on the residential road.

No arrests have been made.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts are first and foremost with the victim’s family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time, as well as everyone who has been injured.

“Our enquiries are progressing at pace as we work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the fire, which we believe may have been started deliberately.

“We understand this to be an isolated incident within a residential address; however, we understand it will cause concern within the local community.

“Officers will remain in the area throughout the day, and we will provide updates as our investigation continues.

“I would ask anyone with information that could assist our enquiries, including CCTV, doorbell camera or dashcam footage, to contact us.”

Anyone with information, or footage that may assist the investigation, is urged to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 359/19Aug.

Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

New signings can be a slight risk to include in your very first starting XI. However, many teams got a lot of their business done early this year and there is always a thrill in the unknown of unearthing a potential new fantasy football star. Here are our top five to look out for this season:

 

Mamadou Sangaré (£3.1m)

Ever since the introduction of tackle bonuses, combative midfielders have found their place in the hearts of Telegraph Fantasy Football faithfuls. Brentford’s Malian international could prove to be the next Palhinha or Gomes, with a steady stream of bonuses expected alongside the odd attacking return.

 

Marco Palestra (£2.7m)

The exciting full-back has played the majority of minutes in pre-season under new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso, showing a willingness to push high up the pitch. If the defensive and attacking returns come as expected, the 21-year-old could make a mockery of his cheap price-tag.

 

Gonzalo García (£3.7m)

No doubt influenced by his stint in the dugout at the Santiago Bernabéu, Arbeloa beat off stiff competition to land the former Real Madrid striker. At 6’ tall, the striker possesses the physical attributes, alongside the technical ability, to thrive in the Premier League. TFF managers will be targeting the GW6 to GW8 run, where the Cottagers play all three promoted clubs back-to-back, as a great entry point to transfer the Spaniard in.

 

Luka Vušković (£2.9m)

Brighton’s qualification for Europe was built on a solid defensive structure last season, and the ex-Tottenham centre-half has been brought in to fill the Van Hecke-sized hole in their back-line. The highly-regarded 19-year-old could be one of the bargains of the season if he lives up to his potential on the South Coast.

 

Tarik Muharemović (£2.7m)

TFF managers have a plethora of great value defensive assets to pick from this season, and the Bosnian could be the pick of the bunch. Having already demanded attention after scoring with an audacious bicycle-kick in pre-season, it won’t be a surprise to see the new Leeds no.5 in many final drafts.

Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Lewis Hamilton put on a loved-up display as she shared more intimate snaps from their lavish tropical getaway. 

The 45-year-old SKIMS founder, who recently posed with the F1 racer for a steamy bikini photo, jumped to her main Instagram page on Wednesday to give fans a closer glimpse into the relaxing trip. 

The couple as well as the reality star’s other family members appeared to whisk themselves away on the vacation in celebration of Kylie Jenner‘s 29th birthday. 

In one image, Kardashian could be seen standing in front of Hamilton, 41, as they both lovingly looked into each other’s eyes. 

The mom-of-four wore a fitted pink skirt as well as a light pink cardigan that had a plunging neckline on the front. 

She carried a pink purse over her shoulder while her dark locks flowed down in light waves behind her.

Hamilton went shirtless as he easily carried a pair of white sneakers in his hand while a folded top was placed in the crook of his right arm. 

A black cap was placed on top of his head and he also sported a flashy chained necklace. 

The pair stood on a patch of green grass that was near a dirt path with the scenic ocean directly behind them. 

Kardashian and Hamilton later jumped into a four-wheeler as they raced along a dirt path. 

The All’s Fair actress filmed a quick selfie video as the lovebirds flashed cheerful smiles for the camera. 

She shared another snap as they posed during a lighthearted paintball match, with the media personality donning a black bikini top. 

Kardashian showed off her pink outfit in an additional slide as she also held up a pink flower towards the side of her head. 

The star flaunted her toned figure in a skimpy black bikini as well as low-waisted black leggings and a black lace cardigan.

The businesswoman later took a dip in the shallow water of the ocean as the sun shone in the sky. 

She opted for a pastel pink bikini and patterned headscarf while taking another selfie before a day by the water. 

Kardashian lounged on a wooden deck and also spent quality time with loved ones including her nieces and nephews. 

Lastly, the TV personality opted for a cropped white shirt and gray sweatpants that partially concealed a pink swimsuit. 

She took the picture while standing on a balcony that offered views of the greenery surrounding her. 

In the caption of the latest photo series, Kardashian simply penned to her followers: ‘Aloha.’ 

The Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Kardashian for comment, but has yet to hear back.

Her younger sister Kylie Jenner also recently uploaded Instagram snaps as she rang in her 29th birthday with her loved ones at a tropical destination.   

Just one day earlier, Kardashian had also shared images to fans from the lowkey summer getaway which additionally featured Hamilton. 

One romantic photo captured the couple strolling along the sandy shore as they draped their arms around each other. 

They also fell into a sweet embrace as the F1 racer sweetly wrapped his arms around the reality star. 

Kardashian also took a quick mirror selfie as Hamilton stood close behind her and placed a hand on her waist. 

‘Somewhere over the rainbow,’ the SKIMS founder typed out.  

Hamilton and Kardashian have known each other for years before recently sparking up a romance.

Back in late January, the stars were seen checking into an upscale hotel in the Cotswolds.

Shortly after, the pair were spotted at another hotel in the city of Paris before they grabbed dinner together at Aqua Kyoto.

In February, Kardashian and Hamilton sat next to each other while attending Super Bowl LX.

The pair also spent time together in Tokyo in March ahead of Hamilton taking part in the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix. The couple also made an appearance at the Coachella Music Festival soon after. 

Kardashian and Hamilton were spotted kissing for the first time as they took a dip in the ocean in Malibu in April.

A few months later in June, the star supported the professional racer as he competed during the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. 

The couple have also featured each other on their social media pages in recent months amid their romance. 

And last month in July, Hamilton made a rare comment about his relationship with The Kardashians star. 

While at the Silverstone Circuit racing venue in England, a fan said: ‘You’ve been a happier man recently, why’s that? Could that be a girlfriend?’

Hamilton replied: ‘Yeah, that’s a good one!’ before later adding: ‘Of course, of course, it’s Kim.’

Hamilton has also met the star’s four children whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West: North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven.

‘Kim’s very selective when it comes to the people she allows around her kids,’ a source recently told People.

The insider added that the media personality is ‘very protective’ of her kids and ‘doesn’t take new introductions lightly.’

‘The fact that Lewis has spent time with the kids reflects how much she trusts him.’

Marcus Rashford has sent a message to Manchester United legend Gary Neville after his return to his boyhood club.

Rashford’s time in Manchester appeared to be up when he joined Barcelona on loan last summer, a deal that was expected to be made permanent in a £26million deal.

The 28-year-old had made no bones about his desire to extend his stay at the club, but the Catalan giants instead decided to pursue a deal for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.

And while an exit from Old Trafford still seemed the likely outcome earlier in the summer, a lack of serious suitors prepared to meet United’s £40m asking price means the Englishman has now rejoined Michael Carrick’s squad.

Rashford came off the bench for a brief cameo against AC Milan last weekend, and could be in line to feature in United’s first Premier League encounter against Hull City on Saturday.

In a trailer for an upcoming episode of Stick To Football, Neville was already keen to discuss the 28-year-old, but was quickly shut down by fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher.

‘Marcus Rashford, what do we think? Last question,’ Neville said before Carragher quickly interjected: ‘Oh f*****g hell, can we do a podcast without mentioning Rashford? Stop it! Oh my god.

‘It’s like the Trent and Rashford – there was like a little part of the podcast – the Trent part or the Rashford part. He’s just a good player for Man United!’

And responding to the video on X, Rashford made it clear he would appreciate Neville and others giving him some time to settle into the season back at United.

‘Thanks, Jamie. It would be great to be able to get my head down and play football without my name being mentioned every day,’ he wrote.

Rashford has only been back with Carrick’s squad for a short period, but the United head coach said he was already impressed by what he has seen in training.

‘He’s a very good player, and I think if you’re going to have a career over 10 or 15 years, there’s going to be times when things go in a direction and maybe a different direction,’ Carrick recently said.

‘I think there are ups and downs, and that doesn’t judge you as a one-off kind of judgment. It’s what happens over time, and now we’re in a positive place as a group, and Marcus can offer us so much.

‘He has done, and he can do again, so in that respect, it’s quite exciting.

‘He came in, he’s trained really well. I’ve known him a long time, like I’ve known some of the others a long time, so I don’t treat him any different to anybody else, but it’s been good to have him around the group again this week. So I’m really positive with that.’

Elsewhere, former Red Devils captain Wayne Rooney believes Rashford must show the right ‘hunger’ to get his United career back on track.

Speaking on Stick To United, Rooney said: ‘For me, has he got the hunger, does he want to play for Manchester United? You have to rebuild the relationship with the fans and the easiest way to do that is work hard and work on your body language.

‘You could have a bad game, you could give the ball away and make mistakes, but if the fans see you working hard and putting in a shift for the team, they’ll accept that to a certain point.

‘I think Marcus’ body language, even when he came on, it isn’t great. He might have to work with someone to make his body language look better.

“I think his work rate has to improve. If he wants to be at the football club, he just has to knuckle down. He’s the one player that could go and get my goalscoring record.’

A British gold medal-winning sprinter who won two medals at the Commonwealth Games has been jailed for ten months amid allegations he sexually assaulted a minor.

Leon Baptiste, 41, was thought to be missing as of yesterday after going on a trip to Morocco two months ago. 

UK Athletics, where he worked as a consultant sprinting coach, did not know why Baptiste was out of contact – nor did those he worked with.

The coach, who was training top athletes ahead of the upcoming Commonwealth Games, told a group of them that he would be absent ‘for a while’, the BBC reported.

No further explanation was given to those he coached after that message in May of this year. 

A brief email, sent on behalf of the sprinter, who won the 200m at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, was sent on Tuesday. 

In the correspondence to the athletes he coached, it was announced that Baptiste had resigned, laying blame on unspecified ill health. 

It has since emerged the athlete had been arrested in Marrakech last May, a source from the Moroccan Ministry of Justice told the broadcaster.

Leon Baptiste, 41, (pictured winning England Athletics Coach of the Year in 2023) has been jailed in Morocco amid allegations he sexually assaulted a minor

As of yesterday, the 41-year-old (pictured in 2010) was thought to be missing after going on a trip to Morocco two months ago

He was later convicted and is now behind bars in Al-Oudaya prison, the insider added, saying the reports of him being missing were ‘inaccurate’.

They added the former athlete was ‘not subject to any disappearance or unexplained absence’, and was in good health. 

‘He is currently being held at the local prison in Marrakech, where he is serving a custodial sentence following his conviction by the competent judicial authorities in connection with a misdemeanour case,’ they said.

Morocco’s Public Prosecution Office confirmed his sentencing as well as the crime for which he was convicted to the broadcaster. 

A spokesman said a British national is serving a prison sentence in a local Marrakech prison after a court judgment against him.

Baptiste had been in the North African country alongside three other ex-British athletes, all of whom have returned to British soil, a source said. 

It is understood the athlete’s family are aware of Baptiste’s custodial sentence.

Many top British sprinters, such as Olympic bronze medallist Charlie Dobson and Zac Shaw, who won silver in the Paralympics, have been left without a coach. 

Relay coach Martyn Rooney and European gold medallist Adam Gemili are said to have stepped up to aid sportspeople who have been affected by the former sprinter’s sudden departure.

A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesman said: ‘We are supporting a British national who is detained in Morocco and are in contact with the authorities.’

The Daily Mail has approached UK Athletics for comment. 

The US, meanwhile, has been asking for a number of concessions from Canada, including removing its remaining retaliatory tariffs on American autos and adjusting its dairy quotas to allow greater access for US cheese producers.

It has also asked for the ban on US alcohol sales, imposed last year by most Canadian provinces in retaliation to Trump’s tariffs, be removed.

Asked on Wednesday if the latest deal will include significant concessions on dairy, Minister LeBlanc said that Canada’s dairy supply management programme – which sees production quotas, set pricing, and import quotas on dairy, eggs, and poultry – will remain “entirely intact”.

Polls suggest that a majority of Canadians would be unhappy if the Carney government made significant concessions to the US, with 56% surveyed by polling firm Leger, external saying they want Canada to take a hardline approach.

But business organisations from both sides of the border have urged for a deal to be reached, cautioning that additional tariffs between the two major trading partners would be harmful for both countries.

Dennis Darby, president of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters and a member of Carney’s advisory committee on Canada-US trade, told the BBC that he is optimistic a finalised deal is on the horizon.

“The committee was informed this morning that the negotiations continue and that and we’re close, and that’s more positive than we’ve seen in some time,” Darby said.

He added that businesses hope this will be the first step towards a return to the terms set under the North American free trade agreement, known as USMCA, with most goods flowing tariff-free through Canada, the US and Mexico.

“Let’s hope that whatever they have to negotiate gets us closer to that,” he said.
