The Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh proved they make quite a power duo when they co-hosted a reception for Korean War veterans today.

Anne, 73, and Sophie, 59, stood in for King Charles III, 75, as he continued cancer treatment, appearing cheerful as they chatted with attendees at Buckingham Palace, central London.

The pair greeted several veterans at the intimate event, which commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.

Despite King Charles’ physical absence, the monarch added a personal touch to the reception and delivered a message through Anne.

Charles explained that his absence from the event has left him “disappointed” and “frustrated” but that he is “very grateful to the Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh for their contribution.”

As they marked the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, the royal family wanted to honor the approximately 60,000 British and 50,000 Commonwealth soldiers who served in the Korean War.

Anne looked chic in a tunic dress as she had a light-hearted chat with attendees.

She swapped her usual muted sunglasses for a bright blue dress, accessorized with a luxurious brooch.

The princess’ hair was done up in a classic updo and she added an element of glamor to her ensemble with a vibrant shade of red lipstick.

Elsewhere, Sophie appeared in good spirits as she shook hands with guests, including Remembrance director Philippa Rawlinson.

The late queen’s daughter-in-law looked typically elegant and opted for a stylish satin dress with a floral print.

The Duchess styled her blonde locks into a bun and wore a glamorous face of makeup, accentuating her eyes with dark mascara and eye shadow.

The mother-of-two added glitter to her outfit and wore a pair of earrings with an opulent bronze stone.

In his message conveyed through Anne, Charles outlined his thoughts on the event. He wrote: “I am delighted that so many of you can attend today’s reception, a rather belated gathering, I’m afraid, to mark the seventy years that have passed since the end of the Korean War.

‘It has been a personal ambition of mine to invite all of you, in whatever form, to Buckingham Palace to recognize this important milestone and to ensure that you are all most meritoriously honored for your gallant service over seventy years past.

‘You can therefore imagine how extremely disappointed and frustrated I am that I cannot be with you in person… I can only hope that you are well looked after in my absence and I am the Princess Royal and Duchess of Edinburgh , because she vouched for me.

‘As you know only too well, some 60,000 British and 50,000 Commonwealth soldiers served in the Korean War, alongside our United Nations allies. During the armistice in July 1953, President Eisenhower declared: “We will strive ardently to see that this armistice will in fact bring free peoples one step closer to their goal of a world at peace.”

“Thanks to those of you who were present and those you fought alongside, the free peoples of the Republic of Korea continue to experience democratic freedom and have proudly kept the peace ever since.

This lasting legacy was further commemorated during the recent Korean state visit, when President Yoon himself stated that Korea today would not have the political freedom, economic prosperity and thriving culture that has expanded far beyond its borders, without your courage all those years ago. ‘

Charles concluded: “In a world where freedoms are constantly challenged and our values ​​are under scrutiny, your selfless courage and steadfast pursuit of peace are guiding principles that have not been forgotten and that continue to inspire generations to come.

“We greet all who remain among us, and express our most sincere and eternal gratitude to those who have gone before us. Your service and your sacrifice will echo through the ages.”

ERIK TEN HAG has expressed his immense ‘frustration’ with Manchester United’s medical staff after receiving assurances over two injured stars.

The Old Trafford boss says he was told in December that left-backs Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw could return the following month.

United are 11 points behind the Premier League’s top four ahead of Saturday’s home game against lowly Everton.

And Ten Hag has suffered defensive headaches all season, despite Harry Maguire regaining his regular place at centre-back with solid form.

Malacia’s situation tops his list of fitness concerns.

The 24-year-old Dutchman could sit out the entire season with a bad knee.

Meanwhile, England star Shaw returned to Newport in the FA Cup in January.

But he then limped off injured to Aston Villa on February 11 and again to Luton the following week.

Ten Hag admitted that the left-back saga has turned into a nightmare.

He said: “In December I had the discussions internally with the medical department and the implementation [staff]. They assured me that they (Shaw and Malacia) will both be fit in January and so you will have two left wing-backs.

“We’re talking about one of my biggest frustrations there.

“You can accept that a player is not available in a position, but if two players are not available during the course of the season, it is very frustrating.

“Because that is also very difficult to catch up on as a team, but we dealt with it in the best way.”

He added: “I think it will be difficult for him (Malacia) to be available this season.

“He will fight, he is back on the pitch but not in the team and the process has had some setbacks for him. He is still progressing very slowly and the season is coming to an end.”

NETFLIX users are frustrated with the app's recommendation algorithm.

It should come as no surprise that Netflix is ​​the most popular streaming service in the world, with more than 260 million global subscribers.

Lately, however, many Netflix subscribers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the platform.

Specifically, some users have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the content they recommend.

“I wish they would remove all the stuff I watched from all categories except 'Watch it Again,'” said a person with the handle @Jackaloop in a Reddit thread.

“It's frustrating to have to scroll through the same things over and over again when I know there are a lot of things I didn't see just because I didn't see them appear,” the person continued.

“Yes. I wish I could hide items so they would never show up again,” another Reddit user shared under the thread.

A third Reddit user agreed, but noted that they had some luck under the “More like this” tab.

“They're rarely anything like the show I've seen, but they're often obscure things that don't appear in any of the other suggestions,” they noted.

Another Netflix subscriber called the algorithms an “absolute disgrace.”

“The level of technology we live with CANNOT rule out algorithms that do what you say and many other simple things,” they noted.

Meanwhile, Netflix has aborted the process of its recommendation algorithm on its website.

It noted that it estimates the likelihood that a user will view a particular title in its catalog based on several factors.

These include looking at a user's interactions with the Netflix service, such as their viewing history and how they rated other titles, and comparing them to other members with similar tastes and preferences on the service.

Other points taken into account include the time a person watches Netflix, the devices they watch Netflix on, and how long they watch.

“All of these pieces of data are used as input that we process in our algorithms,” Netflix said.

They noted that the recommendation system does not include demographic information such as age or gender.

A new book details some of the demons Sopranos star James Gandolfini faced — including problems with alcohol — while filming the later seasons of the legendary HBO series.

The three-time Emmy winner's personal struggles have been chronicled many times, with HBO executives admitting they feared he would die from alcohol. and drug binges before the end of the series.

A new book by Mark Kamine, a location scout on the show, details more of these issues in “On Locations: Lessons Learned from My Life On Set with The Sopranos and in the Film Industry.”

Kamine writes about how his experience with Gandolfini — who died of a heart attack in Rome in 2013 — began to fray in the show's fifth season.

The cast and crew stayed at the Monmouth Park racetrack in central New Jersey to film the episode featuring Tony Soprano's horse Pie-O-My.

As Kamine tells it, “I'm in the hotel bar when the crew member closest to Jim asks if I want to go to Atlantic City with Jim and a few others.”

Atlantic City, as Kamine notes, is about 80 miles from Monmouth.

Kamine said he rejected Gandolfini's offer and that “the next morning I'm not surprised if Jim can't be woken up.”

The location scout, who is now executive producer of HBO's The White Lotus, said Gandolfini's discomfort with fame led him to his darker impulses.

In one instance, Gandolfini didn't show up until he was four hours late and the entire time he was “cursing his way through his half-learned lines, doing take after take, drinking coffee and bottled water, alternately sheepish and boorish, the like him always is when he messes up,” Kamine wrote.

At the end of the series, the owner of the famous “Soprano house” where the family lived in North Caldwell, New Jersey, struck up a conversation with Gandolfini, as Kamine said he had done many times before.

'Jim interrupts and says, with more than a little regret, 'I'm really sorry, but my memory is a bit damaged and I can't remember, who are you?'

The author claims the owner was 'hurt' and 'shocked' by the mild event.

Kamine said at one point that Gandolfini was becoming “increasingly unreliable,” to the point that HBO held him financially responsible if his tardiness or excesses caused filming to be postponed or canceled.

His delays would sometimes anger his co-stars, as Kamine recalls Edie Falco – the iconic Carmela Soprano from Gandolfini's Tony – angrily reacting to the news that Gandolfini missed a day of shooting with “are you kidding me?”

Falco, on the other hand, was 'always fully prepared, always astonishing and immediate in character. She [was] nothing but an admirable presence on set throughout the entire run of the show,” Kamine said.

It had a negative effect on Gandolfini, he claims.

“Jim appears to be in awe and frustrated by her easy access to persuasive emotions,” Kamine wrote.

“He often gets into out-of-character, curses himself in the middle of the scene and calls up the script supervisor to give him lines.”

Kamine, however, notes “Gandolfini more than anyone else [creator] David [Chase] makes the performance [what] It is true that his expressive characteristics, rich lyrics and menacing, subdued gestures have a great and consistent impact.'

Because of that, and because of his genuine goodwill, the cast and crew tolerated the beloved star.

After each week of shooting, Gandolfini would order sushi for the cast and crew and at the end of each season, Gandolfini would gift the cast something usually worth hundreds of dollars, as well as custom engraved watches after the series finale.

Gandolfini was the intense and charismatic star of the show for its entire run from 1999 to 2007, but he struggled with alcohol and substance abuse and died of a heart attack in 2013 at just 51.

The actor's death saddened the world and sent ripples throughout Hollywood.

At the time of his death he was married to his second wife, actress Deborah Lin, with whom he had a daughter Liliane, now nine years old.

His son Michael, who was 14 when he found his father dead in a Rome hotel room, played a young Tony Soprano in the HBO prequel film Many Saints of Newark, released in October.

Michael, now 24, is the son of Gandolfini and his first wife, film producer Marcy Wudarski.

SHOPPERS have been left gutted after Next confirmed it will no longer sell a clothing brand that is a favorite for cheap and trendy fashion.

The retail giant has confirmed that it will no longer sell Tesco's F&F clothing on its website, meaning the brand will be completely unavailable online.

1

Tesco closed its homewares and clothing site Tesco Direct in 2018 as it was deemed unprofitable, meaning customers could only buy F&F clothing in certain stores.

The following year there was joy for fans after Tesco announced that a limited range of F&F items would be sold by Next.co.uk.

But this month Next confirmed it would end the service and sell the remaining F&F shares on clearance.

Customers have criticized the decision, with one saying: “I really miss being able to buy clothes online and pick them up in store as you can't rely on Tesco stores to have ranges and sizes. I think it really strange that you don't do that.” order online.”

A second said: “Has Next please stopped selling the F&F brand? I bought all my F&F clothes from Next.”

While a third said: “Why are your clothes no longer advertised on Next's website? So frustrating.”

Another was annoyed by an Instagram post from F&F in which influencer Zoe Towell unwrapped new clothes from a cardboard F&F box.

The customer wondered: “How does that F&F box even exist if you can't buy online!

“Even Next appeared to have stopped selling F&F (how limited stock they had).

“Shops are useless and there's no way to find out which Tesco stores have big F&F sections. I've given up buying this stuff, it's boring now”

Hundreds of others have urged Tesco to sell its F&F range online.

The brand is popular because its modern, trendy styles also fit within the budget, with women's denim shirts priced at €18, skirts for €19.50 and bomber jackets for €25.

But apart from only being stocked in certain Tesco stores, there is no guarantee that a particular F&F piece will be available in a particular branch and in all sizes.

The brand has its own Facebook and Instagram pages showcasing items from its range, with the Facebook page liked by more than 2 million followers.

Another downside is that there are usually no changing rooms available, so customers have to take the clothes home to try on.

Next declined to comment and Tesco did not respond to requests for comment.

In response to complaints about the lack of availability on social media, Tesco said: “…despite not being online at the moment, we are working to make our shopping experience the best it can be and are taking your feedback on board.”

WORDLE players have become frustrated after the popular New York Times game crashed for users.

In the viral game, players guess what the five-letter word of the day is within six turns, before waiting until the next day for a new puzzle.

But gamers today are annoyed because they couldn't log in.

Several frustrated users used to go to X TwitTuh – to discuss the glitch, with one claiming it “completely ruined their morning routine”.

“Wordle is down. My 12:00 ritual is in tatters,” another user wrote, indicating that the game has been unavailable for hours.

A third moaned: “Wordle being down on day 200 of my current streak is cruel.”

Wordle was created by software engineer and former Reddit contributor Josh Wardle and launched in October 2021.

The title of the internet word game is a play on Wardle's surname, hence Wordle.

The inventor initially invented the game for himself and his wife during the lockdown.

But it proved so popular that the New York Times announced it had bought Wordle in 2022 for an undisclosed sum of just seven figures.

Home and away fans were aggravated by the new season’s premiere.

On Tuesday, the kidnap storyline featuring Remi Carter and Eden Fowler played out in Summer Bay, keeping audiences on edge, but there was one detail that ruined their experience.

Many fans took to a special Facebook group before the show to criticize Channel 7 for the excessive number of advertisements aired during the episode.

One person complained that they had only seen ’10 Minutes Home and Away’.

In a thread inviting group members to discuss the events of the episode, one fan sarcastically wrote, “Well, there’s not much to talk about unless we want to talk about the sheer number of ads.”

One Facebook user called the ads ‘bulls***’, while another said it was ‘the worst’.

“I counted 9 in the first break,” another observant Home and Away fan wrote.

While another claimed they didn’t mind the Aldi ads, ‘at least they’re usually funny.’

The Australian soap opera made a spectacular return to screens on Monday night, with Cash hosting a high-speed search party, a detail skewered by other attentive fans.

‘I thought you had to wait 24 hours before someone was reported missing. The search party got there pretty quickly, lol,” said one viewer, while another added: “What nonsense!”

Additionally, some fans voiced their opinions on other moments in the show that they considered questionable.

“So Leah is still recovering from the trauma of the kidnapping and now Eden has been kidnapped. Too many kidnappings in Summer Bay!’ one fan complained.

“Why didn’t he notice the toilet paper was missing, how many rolls did they have?” someone else asked.

‘Why didn’t he notice the lamp was missing? And isn’t that the first thing they ask you: is there anything missing from the campsite?’ has insulted another person.

It comes after fans were left stunned by last year’s finale, which saw the kidnapping storyline launched.

In a gripping twist, the lives of characters Remi and Eden were dangerously at stake after a tense murder attempt and double kidnapping.

The tension arose when Remi was the victim of a collision by two people who were driving under the influence.

Later, when Eden encountered the perpetrators, they incapacitated her and she woke up in the same car as Remi, who appeared to be unconscious or dead.

But the cliffhanger finale concluded with a public plea from Cash, urgently asking for help in locating Eden, as a mysterious 1800 phone number flashed on the screen.

Since the episode aired, several Home and Away fans have called the number shown and shared their discoveries with others.

“If you call the number you will hear what Cash says to her in his voicemail message that he left,” one fan claimed.

“It’s just weird having to call 1800,” said another, suggesting it was an outdated way of addressing the public.

“Mine said the number has been disconnected!” another person claimed.

“When I called he was engaged so I’d say a lot of people tried haha,” another Summer Bay lover joked.

“I’ve already called it ten times haha, soon I’m going to tell me to stop calling,” another avid viewer commented.

Wild weather is forecast for large parts of Australia on New Year’s Eve, with SES volunteers facing verbal abuse from frustrated residents devastated by floods.

Heavy rain, thunderstorms and large hail forecast for northern NSW and Queensland have emergency services on standby on New Year’s Eve.

A wild weather system stretched more than 1000km from Port Macquarie to Rockhampton on Sunday afternoon, with parts of Qld’s Central Highlands and Coalfields, Maranoa and Darling Downs regions worst affected.

Jonathan How, senior meteorologist at the weather bureau, urged residents to stay aware of flood warnings.

“At this stage we do not expect widespread flooding, but areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms could cause flash flooding, as well as rapid rises in creeks, rivers and storm drains,” he said.

South East Queensland area manager Tony Cooper revealed recovery crews who volunteered over Christmas had suffered abuse in the aftermath of shocking storms on the Gold Coast.

SES crews had on Sunday responded to more than 3,500 calls for help from residents since Christmas Day, when the Gold Coast, Scenic Rim and Logan counties were devastated by severe weather.

Mr Cooper said there had been cases of abuse against volunteers, many of whom had sacrificed their Christmas holidays to help affected communities.

“There have probably been specific cases, but our guys are very experienced. They are very professional and take it on the chin,” he said.

Meanwhile, Queensland Deputy Prime Minister Cameron Dick had a media event interrupted by frustrated residents after being without power for almost a week.

There was also a severe thunderstorm warning for damaging winds over the Northern Territory’s Gregory district.

A group of thunderstorms threatened Timber Creek and Yarralin with gusts of 90km/h recorded at Delamere Weapons Range.

High wind warnings have been issued for the Byron Coast in NSW and several coastal areas in Western Australia, including eastern and western Pilbra, Perth, Bunbury, Leeuwin, Esperance and Eucla.

Wind gusts reached 93km/h at Gympie on Saturday, while 64mm of rain fell at Cedar Pocket Dam in Queensland.

The Sunshine Coast was also lashed by rain, with Beerburrum recording 110mm in two hours and Landsborough 67mm in 30 minutes.

On the Fraser Coast, farmer Aaron Broom posted photos of cattle killed after being struck by lightning.

“A wild storm just came through our Fraser Coast property in SEQ and a lightning strike killed five cows,” Mr Broom posted on social media on Saturday.

‘I’ve never had this before, poor buggers were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I’m glad there was no more cowering in the weather.’

Crews have confirmed that four homes in the state’s southeast have been “completely destroyed” and 750 homes have suffered minor to severe damage from storms since Christmas, Deputy Prime Minister Cameron Dick told reporters in Jimboomba on Sunday.

He said there have been 3,000 calls to the state emergency service since the night of the 25th and about 18,000 people across the state are still waiting for power to be restored.

“We have crews cleaning the streets and trying to clear the debris so we can get the electrical crews in,” Mr. Dick said.

Up to 70 Defense Force veterans and retired emergency services personnel are assisting with storm cleanup efforts in south-east Queensland.

They have been deployed to the worst affected areas, including the northern Gold Coast, Tamborine Mountain and Jimboomba, to remove fallen trees, clear debris, stabilize buildings and improve access to homes.

Severe weather between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day resulted in ten deaths in Queensland and Victoria, including a nine-year-old girl who became lost in a storm drain.

NSW SES crews were kept busy, responding to 473 calls for help and carrying out six flood rescues over the Christmas weekend.
