Prince Harry gets Invictus Games romper suit for baby Archie
Britain's Prince Harry received an Invictus Games romper suit for his newborn son Archie on Thursday as he marked one year until The Hague hosts the sports championship for wounded soldiers. Making his first royal engagement just three days after the birth of his "dream" first son with wife Meghan, Harry travelled to the Netherlands to launch the countdown to the games. Harry pulled a face and pretended to model the tiny white garment with a grey and yellow "Invictus Games" logo after he was handed it by Princess Margriet of the Netherlands. The Duke of Sussex joked that he should "put it on" himself, before thanking the Dutch princess. The prince, who showed off Archie with Meghan to the public for the first time on Wednesday, also met athletes and took part in sporting activities including archery.

BBC fires presenter over royal baby chimp tweet

The now deleted tweet, which has been circulated on social media, showed a black and white photo of a couple holding hands with a chimpanzee dressed in clothes with the caption: "Royal Baby leaves hospital".

Ploughing ahead: Sacred oxen predict 'abundant' Thai harvest
Thai astrologers on Thursday predicted an "abundant" harvest after a pair of sacred white oxen munched on grass and rice, and slurped up water in an annual ritual watched by newly crowned King Maha Vajiralongkorn. The monarch, seated next to his new Queen Suthida, observed the "royal ploughing ceremony" symbolising Thailand's fortunes. The colourful procession, led by two Hindu Brahmin priests, saw two white oxen walk a field to the sound of blaring trumpets. Women, dressed in traditional Thai clothing and carrying trays of jasmine flowers, trailed behind the bulls to the sound of red-clad musicians beating drums. The ceremony, which dates to the 13th century, marks the start of the growing season for Thailand, one of the world's top rice exporters. Royal soothsayers base their predictions on which foods the animals choose to eat after the ploughing. The oxen are offered banana leaf-wrapped bowls of rice, maize, green beans, sesame, liquor, water, and grass. This year, the animals ...
