Prince George has celebrated his 12th birthday, with the Prince and Princess of Wales releasing a new photograph to mark the occasion. The image, taken by photographer Josh Shinner, shows the future king smiling and relaxed outdoors, leaning on a rustic wooden gate in Norfolk. Posted on Kensington Palace 's social media, the photograph depicts George wearing a white checked shirt, a dark green fleece gilet, and a blue and white friendship bracelet. George is one year away from being a teenager and has one year left at Lambrook prep school before moving to a senior school, with Eton or Marlborough College thought to be frontrunners.

UK Royal Navy's F-35 fighter jet takes off after repairs in Kerala
The UK Royal Navy's F-35 fighter jet, which had been stranded in Kerala for more than a month, took off on Tuesday after undergoing technical repairs. The US-made fighter jet, among the world's most advanced, had become an object of speculation and humour on social media in India after it was grounded at the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport on June 14, when it was diverted to Kerala. Bad weather or a technical snag had hindered its landing on the Prince of Wales aircraft carrier, deployed by the Royal Navy in the Indian Ocean region on a monthslong operation. The fighter jet is said to have developed an engineering problem while on the ground. A UK engineering team completed the repairs and safety checks from July 6, allowing the aircraft to resume active service, a British High Commission statement in New Delhi said. 'We look forward to continuing to strengthen our defence partnership with India,' the statement added. Indian Army Gets New Apache Attack Choppers The Indian Army received the delivery of three Apache attack helicopters on Tuesday, five years after the order was placed with US manufacturers. Visuals released by the Army showed a transport aircraft bringing the combat helicopters to the Hindon air base on the outskirts of Delhi. Part of a six-helicopter purchase worth $800 million, the three helicopters will add to the squadron strength of the Army, which already has the indigenously developed light-combat Prachand and the multirole Rudra.

Rosie Roche: William and Harry's cousin found dead at home
A cousin of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex has been found dead at her family home. Rosie Roche, 20, the granddaughter of Princess Diana's uncle, died at her home in Norton, near Malmesbury in Wiltshire, on July 14. An inquest into her death was held on Monday at Wiltshire and Swindon coroner's court. It heard that the first-year student, who was studying English literature at Durham University, was found at the property by her mother and sister. Roche had been packing her bags to go away with friends and a firearm was found nearby, it was said. Grant Davies, the area coroner, said police 'have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement'. The case has been adjourned until October 25. Roche was the granddaughter of Edmund Roche, the late Lord Fermoy. His sister was Frances Shand Kydd, the mother of Princess Diana. A death notice in the Yorkshire Post said: 'Roche, Rosie Jeanne Burke. Died on Monday 14th July 2025. Darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha, granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long.'Private family funeral. A memorial service will be held at a later date.' Professor Wendy Powers, the principal of University College at Durham University, said: 'University College staff and students are extremely saddened by the tragic death of Rosie Roche. 'Rosie was a first-year student studying for an English Literature degree. Rosie had settled into the university and college beautifully and had lots of friends.'She was loved for her creativity, energy, her love of books, poetry and travel among many other talents. She will be sorely missed.'Our thoughts and condolences are with Rosie's family and friends, and we are offering support to those affected at this extremely difficult time.' At Durham University, Roche contributed to an arts and culture publication based in the northeast. According to her LinkedIn, before going to university she had previously attended St Mary's Calne, a girls' independent boarding and day school in Wiltshire. The school has been contacted for comment. Wiltshire police said at the time: 'This relates to the sudden death of a woman in her 20s. There are no suspicious circumstances and our thoughts are with her family. 'We would ask that their privacy is respected at this terrible time.'' Her death comes a year after Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, the King's second cousin, took his own life in February last year at his parents' home after being prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a common type of antidepressant. An inquest said Kingston, 45, who married Lady Gabriella in 2019, was found dead in the bathroom of an outbuilding of his parents' Cotswolds home on February 25. He had killed himself with his father's Michael of Kent paid tribute to her son-in-law, saying he was 'a lovely man, so kind and so thoughtful', she added that the royal family 'never had an inkling that anything was wrong'.

UK F-35 fighter jet departs Thiruvananthapuram; British High Commission thanks India for support
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A UK Royal Navy F-35B fighter jet that made an emergency landing at the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport on June 14 successfully departed on Monday at 10.15 am, following extensive repairs and safety checks, according to an official statement from the British High Commission. The fifth-generation stealth aircraft, which was part of the UK's Carrier Strike Group onboard HMS Prince of Wales, had diverted to Thiruvananthapuram due to adverse weather conditions that prevented it from safely returning to the aircraft carrier. Although it landed without incident, the jet later developed an engineering issue while on the ground, temporarily preventing its return to operational duties. A team of engineers from HMS Prince of Wales initially assessed the situation, after which it was determined that support from a specialist UK-based engineering team was required. The team, which arrived in Thiruvananthapuram on July 6, carried out necessary repairs and comprehensive safety inspections before clearing the aircraft for departure.
