King Charles releases coronation photo with his two successors

In commemoration of his recent coronation, King Charles III has released a photograph featuring himself and his two successors, the Prince of Wales and Prince George.

The photograph was taken in the throne room of Buckingham Palace on May 6, the day of his coronation, symbolising the continuity of the monarchy and its deep-rooted traditions.

The snapshot shows King Charles seated on a throne chair dating back to 1902, originally crafted for the future King George V and Queen Mary.

The chair was used in the coronation of King Edward VII and later featured in the background of the 1937 coronation of King George VI.

King Charles and Queen Camilla had previously used the throne chairs at Westminster Hall to receive addresses from both Houses of Parliament last year.

The king, adorned in the traditional Robe of Estate, is seen wearing the Imperial State Crown while grasping the Sovereign’s Orb and Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross.

Princes William and George flank the king on either side, signifying the solid and unified lineage of the crown.

On Friday, another photograph was released, capturing King Charles and Queen Camilla accompanied by their Pages of Honour and Ladies in Attendance. This photograph was also taken in the throne room on coronation day.

King Charles is seen in his Robe of Estate and Imperial State Crown once again, while Queen Camilla shines in Queen Mary’s crown and Robe of Estate.

This second portrait includes Prince George along with the queen’s grandsons Freddy Parker Bowles, Gus Lopes and Louis Lopes and her great-nephew Arthur Elliot.

Standing beside Queen Camilla is her sister, Annabel Elliot, and adjacent to the king is the Marchioness of Landsdowne, appointed as a queen’s companion in the Royal Household in 2022.

The remaining Pages of Honour, Ralph Tollemache, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley and Nicholas Barclay, can be seen on the far left.

Hugh Burnard, the photographer who previously captured King Charles and Queen Camilla’s wedding in 2005, was responsible for photographing these historic moments.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.

It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.

There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.

In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.

In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.

German plea
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the German parliament that. Russia had erected a new wall across Europe. 

"It's not a Berlin Wall -- it is a Wall in central Europe between freedom and bondage and this Wall is growing bigger with every bomb" dropped on Ukraine, Zelenskyy told MPs.

Mr Zelenskyy was applauded by MPs in the Bundestag as he addressed Chancellor Olaf Scholz directly.

"Dear Mr Scholz, tear down this Wall," he said, evoking US President Ronald Reagan's 1987 appeal to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate.

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

Tearful appearance

Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday. 

Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow. 

She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.

A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

Salah in numbers

€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of 39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.

13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.

57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.

7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.

3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.

40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.

30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.

8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
