In a successful royal marriage, the participants lead separate lives. They have different duties, friends and interests. Their children are raised for them by nannies and are viewed by appointment. Often they sleep not only in separate beds but in separate apartments. Love sometimes develops, but it is certainly no requirement. The very public breakup between the Duke and Duchess of York shows, once again, what can happen when dynasts succumb to their subjects’ soap-opera values....
The car in question is the $294,886 Aston Martin DBX 707, which is Aston Martin’s luxury SUV. The car boasts a top speed of 196 mph and has a Mercedes V8 engine capable of producing 700bhp.

Monaco-born Leclerc is enjoying a revelatory first season with Ferrari, and back-to-back wins in Belgium and Italy might have been followed by a third at the Singapore Grand Prix. He began on pole position and held his own, but Ferrari’s pit-stop tactics in a race that was repeatedly interrupted by the safety car left Leclerc behind team-mate Sebastian Vettel. Leclerc complained over team radio that the move had been “not fair”, as the German came in first for new tyres early on and took advantage of a clear track to seize a rare race-winning chance....
Many expected Red Bull and Ferrari to be negatively affected by the new TD, helping other teams such as Mercedes to bridge the gap to the front for the remainder of the season. The Italian and Austrian teams have been relatively well-matched throughout the season but Red Bull have made fewer errors and have surpassed the Scuderia thanks to their brilliant strategic calls. At Spa, however, the Prancing Horse was not even close to Red Bull when it came to sheer pace....
The German’s well-timed pit stop under the safety car, coupled with a Mercedes miscalculation, allowed him to re-emerge ahead of Hamilton, who had fallen behind his Ferrari rival during an earlier stop. A faultless drive for the chequered flag kept Hamilton at bay, with the defending champion eventually abandoning his challenge and settling for second in the closing laps in a bid to preserve his tyres. “We got a bit lucky obviously with the safety car,” said Vettel, who started third behind Hamilton and team-mate Kimi Raikkonen....

When the move took place, there was not much hype surrounding it because everyone thought it would be at least a season or two before Sancho got to play regularly in Bundesliga. And why not? He is just 18 years old and Christian Pulisic had made the right-wing his own at Westfalenstadion. However, Lucien Favre had something else in his mind. 21 days after signing for his new club, Sancho was making his debut – starting for BVB vs Borussia Mönchengladbach....

While much of the immediate post-fight discussion centered on Pacquiao’s injured shoulder, much of the pre-fight build-up and in-fight conversation focused on Mayweather’s history of domestic violence. ESPN’s Michelle Beadle and CNN’s Rachel Nichols reportedly had their credentials revoked on the day of the fight because of their previous criticism of Mayweather’s actions.

Playing Rooney at the heart of midfield was a move which paid off spectacularly. He is a burly lad, so there never was any question about him being bullied off the ball by the Stoke midfielders. He gave a mature performance today. He was with Carrick to defend and attack balls when needed; and when he had possession, he’d either spray the ball to the wingers or burst forward with it from central midfield to begin attacks....
