Quick Glance: Harry and Meghan Face Conundrum Over Balmoral Invitation
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could find themselves in a complicated situation, according to an expert, if King Charles invites them to join the Royal Family at Balmoral.

  • It is expected that King Charles will extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit the Scottish retreat this year, as it is customary for the monarch to invite family members during the holiday season.

  • Royal expert and author Tom Quinn suggests that an invitation to the retreat could present a 'difficult' situation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

  • King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan by 'hinting' at a visit to Balmoral this summer to improve relationships within the Royal family.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire
  • The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

  • Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

  • Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

  • It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

  • Consultations on future cooperation between AUKUS partners and other nations, including Japan, are set to commence this year.

  • The AUKUS security pact, formed in 2021, aims to push back against China's influence, with one pillar focusing on delivering advanced technologies and capabilities in areas like quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
