96-year-old Queen Elizabeth is expected to meet her almost one-year-old great granddaughter, as the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations kick off

Lilibet is Harry and Meghan’s second child, and will turn one while the family is in the UK, with a gathering being held at Frogmore Cottage, just near Windsor Castle.

The Queen is expected to miss this year’s upcoming Derby Day race meeting, which just so happens to fall on Lilibet’s birthday, which she will likely attend instead.

It will be the third time in the Queen’s reign she will miss the key race meet, with three of her horses pulling out last-minute.

Harry and Meghan caused quite a stir when naming their second child, after reportedly “telling, not asking” the Queen they were naming Lilibet after her.

As the Platinum Jubilee’s events kick off, Queen Elizabeth’s aides are making every attempt to manage Her Majesty’s diary, as she battles mobility issues.

In March, she had a 62,000 pound golf buggy delivered to help, featuring hi-tech ad-ons such as a fridge and entertainment screen.

She also had a lift installed at Balmoral Castle.

Charlie Kirk united GOP grassroots through social media and activism, but his death raises questions about future leadership.

Charlie Kirk transformed the Republican grassroots movement by fusing social media reach with in-person activism, turning Turning Point USA into a cultural and political force.

His bold campus debates, viral online presence, and close alliance with Donald Trump energised young conservatives and boosted GOP turnout.

With his assassination, questions now loom over who can continue his unique blend of digital influence and grassroots organising.

Dollar steady ahead of Fed’s expected rate cut decision on Wednesday

In Short:
– The U.S. dollar stayed stable as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut announcement.
– Asian equities rose, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index hitting a record high amid U.S. market gains.

The U.S. dollar remained stable on Monday as investors await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, where the central bank is expected to announce its first interest rate cut in nine months.

Trading volumes were low due to a holiday in Japan, causing currencies to remain rangebound.

Market participants have largely priced in a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate, anticipated to bring the key rate to between 4.00%-4.25%.

This marks the first easing action since December 2024.

Recent economic data indicates a cooling labour market, with jobless claims rising to the highest levels since 2021, overshadowing inflation concerns.
