MEG PECKED

Harry WON'T make up with William despite Diana statue unveiling as he 'can't afford to upset Meghan', biographer claims

1§ Despite the brother's united front at the unveiling of the statue honouring their late mother Princess Diana, Harry made a sharp exit after the ceremony.

2§ The pair seemed in sync as they tugged the green curtain draped over the touching artwork but he left just 20 minutes later after raising a glass of bubbly to Di.

3§ He dashed back to the US to be with his wife Meghan Markle, Archie, and newborn daughter Lilibet - which royal commentator Angela Levin suggested is because "he does what he's told."

4§ But the author isn't holding her breath for a reconciliation, as she told The Andrew Pierce Show, "I think whatever Harry decides Meghan will change it."

5§ "She will make it a negative thing to happen, and I don't see that there will be a long-term progress there.

6§ "I think there will be some nasty comments about it, perhaps William pulled the green cloth harder than Harry," Ms Levin joked.

7§ "Seriously, it is a very big thing, what Harry has done, said about William, the Royal Family, and his father, and the Queen."

8§ Prince Harry and Wills have not seen each other since Prince Philip's funeral in April and have been embroiled in a bitter feud about Harry's bombshell comments about the Royal's in interviews with chat show host Oprah.

9§ "You can't just brush over that. You can put a plaster on it for half __ hour but you can't really get rid of that unless there's a huge amount of conversations over a long period of time."

10§ "And Harry does what he's told," Ms Levin continued.

11§ "If Meghan tells him how __ make a statement, he'll make it, and that's it.

12§ "He can't afford now to upset Meghan because he would feel such a failure and a misery and she'd give him what for, really. I think there's no chance __ that."

13§ Diana's sons were seen laughing and joking on Thursday afternoon surrounded by their late mother's family in the Sunken Garden for the unveiling.

14§ The pair even mirrored each other's body language as they strolled in, before being welcomed by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, their former private secretary, who is godfather to Prince George.

15§ Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, the mastermind behind the bronze memorial said Diana "was an icon who touched the lives of people right around the world so it has been a privilege to work alongside Prince William and Prince Harry."

16§ Harry and William chose some of Diana's favourite flowers to be planted by the statue, including 100 forget-me-nots, 200 roses, 300 tulips and 500 lavender plants.

TAKING THE CRISP Fury as Walkers cuts two bags from multipacks but keeps price the SAME

(1º§) Its variety pack has shrunk from 24 to 22 bags but still costs £3.50.

(2º§) The older version contained six salt and vinegar packs, six cheese and onion, six ready salted and six prawn cocktail.

(3º§) Missing from the 22-size bags are one salt and vinegar and one prawn cocktail.

(4º§) However, other snack makers are also being skimpy, a Sun investigation has found.

(5º§) Multipacks of Smiths' Frazzles and Chipsticks have shrunk from eight to six but remain about £1. And packs of KP's Space Raiders have also gone from eight to six while keeping their £1 price.

(6º§) KP has made each bag 1.2g heavier, but the total multipack is more than 16g down. And £1 Roysters T-bone steak-flavoured bubble chips now come in packs of five rather than six.

(7º§) Experts warned families to watch out for the sneaky and widespread shrinkflation.

(8º§) MoneySavingExpert's Oli Townsend said: "When products get smaller but prices stay the same, shoppers rightly feel short-changed.

(9º§) "If your favourite brand has got smaller but the price hasn't, consider 'downshifting' by dropping one brand level from your usual choice - if you can't tell the difference, stick with the cheaper one."

(10º§) Walkers, Smiths and KP Snacks did not comment.

TEXTO 02

(1º§) Children are turning their backs on sugary drinks, with the numbers drinking them falling by a third over the past nine years, a survey suggests.

(2º§) About half of children do not drink them - and those that do are drinking fewer than children in 2008-09 did. The shift has contributed to an overall reduction in sugar consumption.

(3º§) However, all age groups still consumed above the recommended levels, according to the nine-year analysis of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey.

(4º§) But on other measures, diet has not improved, the report, from the Food Standards Agency and Public Health England, said.

(5º§) Fruit and vegetable consumption remains largely unchanged and is still under the recommended five-a-day level. Fibre intake has fallen slightly, while vitamin and mineral consumption is down. And there has been little change in oily fish intake.

(6º§) Emer Delaney, of the British Dietetic Association, said she was pleased with the progress that has been made.

(7º§) She said the reduction in sugary drinks consumption was "important", adding: "It shows change can be made - and it is happening slowly, but surely."

(8º§) But she conceded more needed to be done to get people to increase fruit and vegetable consumption.

(9º§) "Frozen and tinned fruit and vegetables are just as good - we need to encourage people to use them as well as fresh products."

What about fruit and vegetables?

(10º§) The five-a-day message has been around for a long-time - the government campaign was launched in 2003. But it seems to be having little impact.

(11º§) Over the nine years there has been hardly any change in the amount people consume. Adults under 65 are eating around four portions a day on average. Older adults and children even less.

(12º§) The five-a-day campaign is based on advice from the World Health Organization, which recommends eating a minimum of 400g of fruit and vegetables a day to lower the risk of serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer.

(13º§) Five-a-day was chosen because it was viewed as realistic. Research has suggested that to get maximum benefit people should be eating twice that amount. Apples and pears, citrus fruits, salads and green leafy vegetables and vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower were found to be best.

(1º§) Flamenco's trifecta of guitar music, vocals and dance ranks among Spain's most famous art forms. But in the country of its birth, this centuries-old craft that unites elegant physicality and raw human emotion is in danger of extinction.

(2º§) Spain's tablaos - traditional flamenco venues named after the wooden platforms upon which performers spin, sing and strum - were particularly hard-hit by pandemic lockdown restrictions. In tablaos , spectators rub shoulders at tightly spaced tables and performers remain close enough to maintain an electric connection to their audience, one that encourages improvisation and turns flamenco into a nearly collaborative act.

(3º§) The unique environment that fosters flamenco, though, presents serious challenges in the time of Covid-19. Shuttered for extended periods, the majority of Spain's tablaos remain empty.

(4º§) According to Juan Manuel del Rey, president of the Spanish Tablao Association, tablaos employ 95% of the flamenco dancers in Spain. Before the pandemic, the country's 50,000 yearly shows accounted for all but 5% of the world's flamenco performances. Without tablaos, flamenco is losing its stage to the world.

(5º§) Because tablaos don't have a specific license that recognise them as cultural providers, they're unable to receive needed support from the Spanish government, leaving both venues and performers scrambling for survival. A few venues have opened with limited capacity one or two nights a week, but many remain closed or have already closed permanently.

(6º§) It's not just the financial implications jeopardising the future of the form. Tablaos were designed to bring audiences and performers together, and without that connection, many flamenco artists struggle to maintain the fire that fuels flamenco's signature passion.

(7º§) To see deep emotions embodied in music and dance is, for many, the power of flamenco. In an age of global uncertainty, the art form remains as relevant as ever. If it can find a way to survive.

HEALTH CHECK

TAKE THIS CANCER QUIZ TO DETERMINE YOUR RISK OF DEVELOPING DISEASE - AS 1 IN 2 FACE DIAGNOSIS

(1º§) Around one in three cases of the most common cancers could be prevented by eating a healthy diet, keeping to a healthy weight and being more active, according to Macmillan Cancer Support.

(2º§) The following factors are asked about in the quiz.

Smoking

(3º§) At the top of the risk factor list, the WCRF says "not smoking is the best way to protect yourself from cancer".

Weight

(4º§) "Being a healthy weight is one of the most important ways ____ protect yourself against 12 types of cancer," the WCRF says. This includes bowel, kidney, womb and oesophagus cancer.

Exercise

(5º§) There is a reason exercise is encouraged - and not to just look fit.

(6º§) The WCRF says: "Being moderately active for at least 150 minutes or vigorously active for at least 75 minutes a week helps protect against three types of cancer. "Doing 45-60 minutes of moderate activity a day increases the benefit even more."

Fruit and veg

(7º§) You should aim to eat five portions of fruit and five of veg every day. "Fruit and vegetables can protect against cancers of the mouth and throat and digestive tract," WCRF says.

Wholegrains

(8º§) Wholegrain versions of carbohydrates not only help you keep a healthy weight, but have also been shown to reduce the risk of bowel cancer, the WCRF says. Generally it's important to eat a balanced diet as a way to prevent cancer.

Sugary drinks

(9º§) How many sugary drinks do you drink a week? This includes fizzy drinks, sugar-sweetened tea and coffee and squash. "Limiting sugar-sweetened drinks helps to prevent weight gain, which reduces your cancer risk," the WCRF says.

High fat and sugar foods

(10º§) Similarly to sugary drinks, consuming too much junk food will lead to weight gain - and weight gain is an independent cancer risk factor.

(11º§) It doesn't mean you can never have your favourite chocolate bar, cake or crisps. But it's about simple daily swaps. The WCRF suggests swapping a whole chocolate bar for a small piece of chocolate and a piece of fruit, for example.

Red and processed meats

(12º§) A diet abundant in red meat, like beef, lamb and pork, should be avoided. Similarly processed meats, such as bacon, sausages and ham, shouldn't be consumed ____ much. Both are linked to bowel cancer risk.

(13º§) "Limiting your intake [of red meat] to no more than three portions a week (350-500g cooked weight) can protect against bowel cancer," the WCRF says.

Alcohol

(14º§) The best way to avoid this risk would be to stop drinking at all.

(15º§) But if you do like a tipple, stick to the guidelines of no more than 14 units a week - equivalent to around four to five pints of beer or large glasses of wine.

Sun exposure

(16º§) Do you go the extra measure to protect yourself ____ the sun?

(17º§) We're talking suncream used regularly, avoiding the sun between 11am and 3pm, wearing a hat and sunglasses and avoiding sunbeds. "By not using sun beds and protecting yourself from sun exposure, you'll reduce your risk of skin cancers," the WCRF says.
