Schroders chair Corley to join board of London Stock Exchange-owner
Dame Elizabeth Corley, the chair of asset management giant Schroders, is joining the board of London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) - a move which puts her in a strong position to take the helm there in the coming years. Sky News has learnt that LSEG plans to announce later on Friday that Dame Elizabeth will become a non-executive director of the company. While there is no process underway to find a successor to Don Robert, who has chaired LSEG since May 2019, people close to the exchange-owner speculated that she would be an obvious candidate to do so. One fund manager also suggested that her dual roles on the boards of Schroders and LSEG could raise questions about potential conflicts of interest given that Schroders is itself listed on the LSE and is a significant user of its services. That idea was rejected by insiders at LSEG on Friday morning. The issue of leadership succession at LSEG is coming into sharper focus for investors because David Schwimmer, its chief executive, has led the company since 2018. Leading shareholders are likely to prefer the appointment of a new chair ahead of Mr Schwimmer's eventual departure. LSEG now has a market capitalisation of over £60bn, with the London bourse representing only a small proportion of its income. The exchange is facing searching questions about its ability to attract new flotation candidates, with those doubts likely to be exacerbated by this week's reports that Shein, the Chinese-founded online fashion giant, is switching its focus to a listing in Hong Kong.

Twin sisters, 23, who played Rachel and Ross' baby daughter on Friends shock fans with new career
They were just babies when they were cast as Rachel Greene and Ross Geller's daughter on the beloved 90s sitcom Friends.

The girls are 23-years-old and TikTok influencers who each boast tens of thousands of followers on the platform. Over the weekend they reminded fans of their role of Emma Geller-Greene as they shared a throwback photo from the episode The One Where Rachel Goes Back To Work. The image showed one of the girls, clad in a coat with a pink bow in her hair, being held by David Schwimmer as Jennifer Aniston stood nearby. The TikTok post began with a photo of one of the twins striking a pose that was captioned, 'told him I was on TV as a baby.' A selfie followed which read, '"oh so you did like Gerber commercials?"' The post then ended with the photo of them from Friends which was hashtagged, '#holyairball.' Fans flooded Alexandra's comments section with their Friends-related questions, with one asking Alexandra if she believed Ross and Rachel were indeed on a break. 'Soooooooo do you think they were on a break? Or not?' one wrote. 'Is baby got back your favorite song?' another posted, referencing the song Aniston danced to while bonding with her child on the show. Two said they were named after the character: 'I was literally named after your character,' several Emmas posted. According to IMDb, Alexandra and Athena appeared on the show from January to March 2003. Nowadays they are recent college grads embarking on their next chapter in life. Athena became a cheerleader for the Denver Broncos last year and has earned a fan in her sister Alexandra. Alexandra shared a photo from one of her sister's games which she captioned, '@ 's #1 fans.' The sisters even attended Stagecoach together this past year where they embraced their twin status with matching outfits. Their TikTok and Instagram accounts contained plenty of posts showing off their various twin antics. Alexandra has also plugged Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand to her TikTok with video of her in the brand's sheer cotton collection. 'will be wearing this all summer @SKIMS #skimspartner #skims #summerinspo #summerstyle,' she captioned the video. The role of baby Emma was the result of a one night stand between Aniston and Schwimmer's characters who was introduced during the two-part season eight finale in 2002. In addition to the Conley sisters, twins Noelle and Cami Sheldon and Genevieve and Elizabeth Davidson played baby Emma. Numerous big names got their start as children on Friends, including Cole Sprouse, who played the son of Ross Geller and Carol Willick.

They allegedly had Brooklyn and Nicola over for dinner at their mansion in Montecito, California in recent weeks where the women had a 'deep and meaningful' chat and shared a bond after being accused by critics of being 'homewreckers' and women who 'tear apart their husbands' families'.

A source told The Sun : 'This is Victoria's worst nightmare. The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.
