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.

  • 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.

Fire engulfs iconic stock exchange building in Denmark’s Copenhagen
Quick Glance: Devastating Fire Strikes Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange
  • A blaze engulfed Copenhagen’s historic former stock exchange in Denmark’s capital on Tuesday, with the spire being consumed by flames and collapsing.

  • The fire spread across multiple floors of the monument, leading to the collapse of its roof, as reported by local fire department chief Jakob Vedsted Andersen.

  • The tower, standing at 184 feet, featured a distinctive design resembling four intertwined dragons’ tails, symbolizing protection against enemies and fire, as indicated by tourism websites.

  • Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen referred to the incident as Denmark’s unique moment akin to Notre Dame, alluding to the 2019 fire in the roof of the Parisian landmark.

How would a 'youth mobility scheme' between the UK and EU really work?
Quick Glance: UK rejects mobility agreement with Europe for young people
  • The government has ruled out any post-Brexit deal that would make it easier for young Britons to live, study, and work in the EU.

  • Labour also rejected the possibility of an EU-wide scheme and prefers to improve the UK's working relationship with the EU within their red lines.

  • A campaign group urged MPs to listen to British young people who deserve the opportunities presented by the plan.

  • The EU suggested that Britain had expressed interest in youth mobility deals with individual member states but favored an EU-wide approach to ensure equal treatment for all members.
