That's it for another day folks. Thanks for following our coverage today. We will, of course, be back with more tomorrow. Goodnight from all of us here at the Express.

Sarah Ferguson is facing “total failure” in her bid to find work in America, highly placed sources have revealed. Representatives of the disgraced former Duchess of York have been searching for lucrative opportunities for her in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and New York for the past six months.

But a senior source at one agency said yesterday: “Her involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has completely sealed her fate. It seems like she now has zero chance of rebuilding any kind of career this side of the Atlantic.”

Sarah Ferguson would have said yes to Jeffrey Epstein if he had proposed to her, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein has reportedly said.

Author Andrew Lownie attributes the claim in his book, Entitled, to a "Palm Beach friend of Epstein".

His unnamed source is recorded by Lownie as saying: "Fergie made no secret how she wanted to marry someone in the US who was wealthy and powerful... If Jeffrey popped the question, she would have said yes".

A royal author has given fresh insight into what Queen Camilla really thinks about the Princess of Wales.

Christopher Anderson, who penned new book Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen, told the Daily Express the King and the Princess’s close bond has been a catalyst behind Camilla’s view of the royal.

He said: “Camilla has been jealous of [Catherine]. But that has changed dramatically since Charles's cancer diagnosis, which, amazingly, happened at virtually the same moment that [Catherine] received a word that she too was suffering from cancer."

Prince Harry has been accused of trying to take attention away from senior royals after publishing a letter sharing his concern over divisions in British society.

The Duke of Sussex penned a piece in the New Statesman describing his "fears for a divided kingdom" which he said is "seeing a deeply troubling rise in anti-Semitism".

Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's Diary Editor, claimed the timing of the article, in the week of the King's speech and Catherine, the Princess of Wales' first foreign trip since announcing her remission from cancer, was intentional.

Speaking on the newspaper's Palace Confidential podcast, he said: "I have to say, the timing is extraordinary. What have we got this week? The King's Speech, a huge event, and Catherine's first foreign trip for almost four years, and here he is, writing an article."

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have reportedly been “embarrassed” by Sarah Ferguson’s behaviour throughout their lives, it has been claimed. Royal author Andrew Lownie is releasing his bombshell book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, in paperback on May 21, with the addition of a brand new chapter.

Meghan Markle has posted a photo of herself and Princess Lilibet.

The image appeared on Meghan's Instagram account with the caption: "Mama's little helper" and a purple heart emoji.

It shows Meghan in a lilac jacket with Lilibet kneeling at her feet wearing a red dress and matching bow in her hair.

Meghan stood in front of a wardrobe mirror to take the photo, which also shows a cupboard filled with clothes and a black, Giorgio Armani coat hanging on a door handle.

As is usual when the Sussexes share photos of their children, you cannot see Lilibet's face.

Prince William and Princess Catherine may be among the most senior members of the Royal Family, but this doesn’t mean that they don’t do ordinary tasks behind the scenes.

While The Prince and Princess of Wales have seen their royal responsibilities increase over recent years, which will no doubt help prepare them for their future as King and Queen, they have still kept their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as their top priority.

As well as making sure they give their children their time and attention at home, the royal couple also try and keep life as ordinary as possible for them. In a bid to do this, the loving parents often take them on ordinary days out and get them doing chores.

Both William and Catherine also do the school run themselves.

Princess Catherine reportedly refused to wear a certain outfit at her first Trooping the Colour as Colonel of the Irish Guards in 2023 according to a royal author. She is said to have made the decision out of consideration for Prince Harry, saying it "wouldn't feel right" if she wore a military-inspired outfit.

In his biography Kate!, royal author Christopher Andersen has claimed the princess declined when it was "suggested she wear a military-inspired outfit like the one Camilla wore as honorary colonel of the Grenadier Guards".

He explained: "'No,' she replied, 'I wouldn't feel right . . . not if Harry can't do it.' Kate opted for a green outfit, matching broad-brimmed hat, and her signature gold-and-emerald shamrock brooch."

Prince William is at Wembley Stadium this afternoon for the FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Chelsea.

One picture shows William walking out of the tunnel with Debbie Hewitt, President of The Football Association, prior to the Emirates FA Cup Final.

Another shows Bernardo Silva of Manchester City introduce William to Antoine Semenyo and Omar Marmoush before the game.

William was also snapped shaking hands with players on both sides, including Erling Braut Haaland of Manchester City.

The future king, who is President of the Football Association, also chatted with Man City's head coach Pep Guardiola.

A soldier from the Royal Horse Artillery died after falling from their horse at the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday evening following a display, Thames Valley Police has said. The force said the soldier was given immediate medical treatment, but died at the scene after suffering serious injuries.

Police said the service person’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.

A spokesperson from the palace said King Charles was shocked and saddened on hearing about the death and the monarch would be offering their family his condolences.

Meghan Markle has impressed Nicky Haslam, who even praised her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.

The 44-year-old is undoubtedly controversial, with much criticism following her every move - especially her attempts to build her personal brand and the Sussex brand.

A new poll has shown that 32% of Britons believe that King Charles' recent visit to the US has strengthened the relationship between the UK and America.

The King and Queen Camilla travelled to the US for four days at the end of April, a visit that came with uncertainty after a shooting incident in Washington, DC raised security concerns.
