[ad_1] Annabel (L) and Camilla (R): AP file photos Annabel Elliot, younger sister to the British Queen Camilla and official “companion” to her, has said she still cannot bring herself to curtsy to her elder sibling—even two decades after Camilla entered the royal family. The revelation came in a new Tatler profile written by royal biographer Robert Hardman to mark the 20th wedding anniversary of King Charles and Queen Camilla. Although royal customs have relaxed over time—and the official royal website says there are no compulsory gestures—curtsying remains common within the royal household. For most, especially insiders like Elliot who hold formal roles, such traditions are still followed. Elliot, an interior designer by profession, said the formality feels unnatural despite her sister’s royal status. “I think she’s transitioned beautifully, actually. I mean, I sometimes look at her, and I can’t […]

[ad_1] Apple has been slowly accelerating plans to shift iPhone production to India, but since US President Donald Trump announced his Inauguration Day tariffs, the company is rushing to manufacture all US-bound iPhones in India as early as next year. China is actively unhappy with Apple moving away from its land and isn't leaving a stone unturned to hamper Apple's efforts.Per Financial Times, Apple has a plan to source all iPhones sold in the US from India by the end of 2026. The US accounted for about 28 percent of Apple's 232.1 million global iPhone shipments in 2024, according to the International Data Corporation, meaning Apple would need to manufacture more than 60 million iPhones annually in India to meet this target.Now, this would require doubling current iPhone output in the country, where the company has been steadily building capacity […]

[ad_1] A famous anecdote about Mahatma Gandhi claims he was once asked by a reporter what he thought of Western civilisation. He ostensibly replied: “It sounds like a good idea,” a tongue-in-cheek remark critiquing the moral decay that surrounds any society built on the edifice of slavery and the opium trade. The same could be said about the Western media’s propensity for “neutral coverage” when reporting events outside Europe and the Anglosphere. Hanlon’s Razor states: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” Ignorance or stupidity is the most benign explanation for the Western media’s habit of finding whitewashed euphemisms for terrorists, as evidenced by their recent coverage of the Pahalgam terror attack, where terrorists brutally killed 26 people. Alternatively, perhaps they are haunted by the patron saint of typos, Titivillus — the demon from medieval Christian […]

[ad_1] US President Donald Trump has claimed that Crimea, which is a part of Ukraine, would stay with Russia, a move which is seen as a new pressure tactic on Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make concessions to end the war.“Crimea will stay with Russia," Trump said in a Time magazine interview published on Friday. “Zelenskyy understands that,” he said, adding, “and everybody understands that it’s been with them for a long time."The comments came amid ongoing tensions over Crimea, a strategically important peninsula along the Black Sea that Russia seized in 2014 during President Barack Obama's administration, years before the full-scale invasion that began in 2022.“They’ve had their submarines there for long before any period that we’re talking about, for many years. The people speak largely Russian in Crimea,” he said. “But this was given by Obama. This wasn’t given by […]
