British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds have set a wedding date for next year after delaying plans due to the pandemic, The Sun tabloid reported Monday, cited by AFP.

Known for his colourful love life, Johnson will be only the second prime minister ever to marry while in office, following Robert Jenkinson in 1822.

The British government on May 21 warned of potential action against the BBC, after unprecedented criticism from the royal family about its use of deception to secure a 1995 interview with princess Diana, piling pressure on the corporation as it fights attacks on several fronts.

Princes William and Harry on May 20 hit out at the BBC and journalist Martin Bashir over "the deceitful way" Bashir obtained his explosive TV interview with Princess Diana, their late mother, in which she detailed her troubled marriage to Prince Charles.

Queen Elizabeth said on March 9 the British royals were saddened by the challenging experiences of her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan and promised to privately address revelations about a racist remark about their son.

The area of London was most affected by the epidemic of COVID-19 in Great Britain in the winter peak, the Guardian writes.

Harry and Meghan moved to LA after completing their final royal engagements in the UK back in March. They left just before the UK was sent into lockdown, meaning Harry was miles away from Prince Charles when he tested positive for the coronavirus. Charles has since recovered and is spending lockdown in Scotland with Camilla, the duchess of Cornwall.

The British queen asked the citizens of that country to show the strength of previous generations of Britons.
In an extremely rare televised address to the nation last night, the queen called on UK citizens to recall the collective spirit that previous generations had during the difficult situation the country found itself in during World War II, Reuters reported.

Prince Charles has recovered from the coronavirus, media have reported. He has given two negative samples and is already feeling much better.

"After consulting with his GP, Prince Charles is no longer quarantined," Clarence House said.

Prince Charles tested positive test for coronavirus, the island's media reported.

The 71-year-old prince has mild symptoms of COVID-19, ""but otherwise remains in good health", a spokesman said, adding that the Duchess of Cornwall, 72, has been tested but does not have the virus. He's been working from home for the past few days, as usual, his spokeswoman said.
