“Humbled and touched” is how Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is feeling following a marvellous weekend of pomp and ceremony to commemorate her 70 years on the throne

In a letter to her constituents and fans right around the Commonwealth and the world, the Queen re-affirmed her commitment to serving as monarch, with her family by her side for support.

Audiences have certainly noticed this family support she speaks of, over the course of the Platinum Jubilee weekend, with Her Majesty missing of a number of events, and making way for the younger royals.

However, despite not being able to attend every spectacle, Elizabeth says her heart has been with us all.

On Saturday, thousands upon thousands of royal lovers lined the streets surrounding Buckingham Palace in London for a special variety performance.

William delivered a public ‘thank you’ to his grandmother…

At 96-years-old, William notes his grandmother has been alive for nearly a century… as he pushed for greater climate awareness and intervention…

Dubbed ‘Party at the Palace’, artists including Queen, the band, Ed Sheeran, Diana Ross also performed stellar renditions of their greatest hits.

Meanwhile, the casts from Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Hamilton and others showed the world just how spectacular London’s West End is.

The Queen says, when it comes to marking 70 years as monarch, ‘there is no guidebook to follow, it really is a first’.

On Sunday, Her Majesty emerged on the balcony of her former permanent residence again.

Staring out at the crowd surrounding Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth was joined by three generations of royals including Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and their children.

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.


The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
