Quick Glance: Proof Harry, Meghan 'can't be trusted'
  • Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to have kept Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the dark about her cancer diagnosis because the duo 'can’t be trusted'.

  • New reports suggest the former working royals were not informed in advance of the Princess of Wales’ cancer battle as too much betrayal and subsequent broken trust has transpired over the last few years.

  • There’s a deep rift between the brothers, and it is strongly believed that William has not trusted Harry and Meghan with good reason, especially after their problematic behavior towards the royal family.

  • According to The Times, Harry and Meghan even found out about Kate’s cancer at the same time as the rest of the world while watching television. It’s believed they were blindsided with the news when Kate revealed her illness in an emotional video shared on Saturday morning.

Thames Water funding woes deepen after shareholders pull investment plan
Quick Glance: Thames Water Directors Discuss Utility's Future
  • The board of Thames Water engaged in crucial discussions as shareholders consider diluting a funding pledge. Shareholders, including the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and China's sovereign wealth fund, may retract hundreds of millions of pounds in promised funding.

  • Thames Water, employing about 7,000 people and serving nearly a quarter of the British population, is grappling with over £15 billion in debt. Shareholders had committed to provide £3.25 billion in the coming years, with the initial £750 million slated for this year.

  • The shareholders' decision to reduce financial support could leave the heavily indebted company with few viable options to secure its future. Sky News previously reported that Whitehall officials had prepared contingency plans for Thames Water's potential collapse.

  • Thames Water, serving 15 million customers in London and the south-east of England, has faced significant pressure due to leaks, sewage contamination, executive pay, and dividends. The prospect of temporary nationalisation in the event of a collapse could cost taxpayers billions.
