#Prince Harry

A last gasp Australian penalty broke Scottish hearts in the dying moments of a barnstorming quarter-final clash watched on by Prince Harry, Princess Anne and an animated Nicola Sturgeon. Scotland - who failed to register a single victory in the Six Nations - thought they had done the impossible when Mark Bennett's intercept-try put them ahead with…

THE problem with Graham Potter is that he still sounds like he's the Brighton manager. After Chelsea were trounced at Manchester City in the FA Cup on Sunday, the Blues boss listed the teams his injury-ravaged side had been beaten by during their miserable run of three wins in 12 matches. He noted that Chelsea had lost four Premier League games -…

Queen Elizabeth II, 94, is one of Britain's biggest racehorse owners and breeders and is hugely dedicated to the sport.

The Princess of Wales has said she will be setting her alarm early to wake up in time for England Women's rugby matches as they compete in the World Cup in New Zealand this autumn. Kate, a patron of England Rugby since earlier this year, sent a video message to the Red Roses, posted on the England Rugby account, which wished the team the best of…

THE death of Queen Elizabeth touches us all in many ways. Memories of our own lives go hand-in-hand with hers because her reign was so long. I remember the street parties for the Coronation in 1953. London's East End was still recovering from the ravages of World War Two. Rationing had been a huge part of my childhood. The taste of the jam…

RUNNING out of the Royal Box at the 1991 Derby, The Queen calls out behind her to the Queen Mother: "That's my horse, isn't it? That's my horse!"
