Disgraced former King Juan Carlos of Spain has arrived at Buckingham Palace ahead of the Queen's state funeral amid a row over his attendance. The former monarch, 84, who currently lives in Abu Dhabi, was reportedly asked not to attend the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II by Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchéz. But he was pictured being ushered into the Palace by Queen Sofía while clutching the hand of an official for support ahead of the 'reception of the century', where King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla will greet leaders from around the world. Legend has it that all the men who have owned the Koh-i-Noor have fallen from grace. A Hindu text from the 14th century states that “he who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God or woman can wear it with impunity.” No one has dared to challenge the prophecy, but things could change, as it is a man, King Charles III, who has just inherited the diamond. “By appointment to the Queen” is a royal mark of quality that will disappear now that the Queen has passed on, affecting around 600 companies across the UK. Liz Truss and Fracking and poverty stricken Romanian villagers rose up to reject fracking when they arrived in their country. The UK has overlapping drinking water aquifers and fracking uses a poisonous , carcinogen cocktail. UK shale is also clay heavy unlike US shale which is silica rich therefore more suited to the fracturing process.hough I doubt ignorant Tory ministers know and/or are too rich to care. Their advice would probably be to simply move. A Canadian high school teacher has sparked controversy after pictures emerged of her wearing large breast prosthetics while teaching students. Kayla Lemieux, a Manufacturing Technology teacher at Oakville Trafalgar High School in Ontario, has been pictured online taking classes while wearing the huge prosthetics, which stretch her clothing and stick out prominently. Ms Lemieux, who began transitioning from being male to a female a year ago, has gone viral online after students took photos and videos of the teacher, seemingly without her knowledge. A pack of more than six dogs is set loose on a wild boar in its death throes in a video uploaded to an Instagram account dedicated to hunting. The unsettling images show the animal bleeding as it attacked by the canines, and an accompanying text commentary praises the ferocity of the attacking beasts. “Money can’t buy the assurance they give me with their grip,” writes the owner of the account. A problem-plagued project to build a £5.5bn fleet of new armoured vehicles for the British Army has been branded a 'disgraceful use' of taxpayers' cash after it emerged the scheme was still stuck in limbo amid safety fears and delays. Whitehall has already spent at least £3.2bn - the same cost of one of the Royal Navy’s huge new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers - on the Ajax fighting vehicles.
