....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The latest bombshell from the book was saying he was born as a spare part for the heir, William, the idea that birthed the book.
“We always knew this book would fly but it is exceeding even our most bullish expectations,” Transworld Penguin Random House Managing Director Larry Finlay said in a statement.
“As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those starring the other Harry (Potter).”
Earlier in the day, Caroline Lennon, a retail worker and one of the eager readers who had headed to bookshops to get their copy on the first day of its release said she would read the book immediately as she posed for photographers.
“I like him, I like the royal family,” said Lennon, 59, the first and only person waiting to buy a copy from a Waterstone’s bookshop in central London when it opened.
Despite the lack of queues, Waterstone’s said there had been strong pre-orders for the memoir which currently ranks as the best-seller on Amazon’s UK, U.S., Australian, German and Canadian websites.
“I know perhaps some of the things he says have rubbed different people the wrong way,” Lai Jiang told Reuters after buying a copy in Singapore.
“And I know, definitely, there are a lot of people who say that he shouldn’t come out and say the things he says, but I believe Harry should be given a chance to say what he wants to say.”

According to the Daily Mail, the former couple officially signed off on the divorce paperwork on Monday, December 30.
However, their dispute over a French chateau they once shared remains unresolved.
“Frankly, Angelina is exhausted,” said divorce lawyer James Simon.

Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, just two years after their marriage, following a 10-year relationship.

Alan Shearer, the legendary Newcastle striker, has shared his predictions for the Premier League matches set to take place this weekend before Christmas. Among the standout fixtures is Liverpool’s exciting away trip to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, which promises to be a thrilling encounter between two attacking teams.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Shearer offered his insights on several key clashes, starting with Aston Villa’s home match against Manchester City. He noted Villa’s strong home form, saying, “Aston Villa vs. Man City – Villa is a formidable team, especially when their passionate crowd backs them. They play with flair and aggression, making them tough to beat, particularly on the attack. I’m predicting a draw for this one.”
Turning to the Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal match, Shearer recognized the challenge for Arsenal, saying, “Crystal Palace v Arsenal – This will be a tough test for Arsenal, but I believe they have the resilience to bounce back after recent performances. I’m predicting an away win for Arsenal, but it won’t be easy; Palace are always difficult to beat at home. Expect a very competitive game.”
For the Everton vs. Chelsea clash, Shearer praised Chelsea’s form, stating, “Everton v Chelsea – Chelsea is in second place and showing great form, clearly in the title race. While they have a strong chance, I’m still uncertain about their ability to win the Premier League this season. My prediction is a Chelsea victory in this one.”
Regarding the Manchester United vs. Bournemouth game, Shearer predicted a tight contest, saying, “Man United vs. Bournemouth – I think this one will end in a draw. Bournemouth has proven to be competitive, and I believe they’ll manage to take something from United.”
Finally, for the highly-anticipated Spurs vs. Liverpool match, Shearer backed Liverpool’s attacking strength, commenting, “Spurs v Liverpool – I think Liverpool will win this one. Expect plenty of goals and action, as both teams play an offensive style, but I see Liverpool coming out on top in what should be a fantastic game to watch.

SWAPO’s Nandi-Ndaitwah Triumphs In Namibia’s Presidential Race, But Opposition Rejects Results
Namibia’s ruling SWAPO party has claimed victory in last week’s contentious elections, marking a historic achievement as Vice-President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah becomes the country’s first female president. However, the results remain disputed by the main opposition party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) announced that Nandi-Ndaitwah, 72, secured just over 57% of the vote, while her closest challenger, Panduleni Itula of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), received 25.5%. Despite the outcome, the IPC has rejected the results, citing irregularities and logistical issues during the voting process.
Nandi-Ndaitwah, a longtime member of SWAPO, takes leadership of the resource-rich nation, which has been governed by SWAPO since its independence in 1990. Her election marks a milestone, as she joins the ranks of a small number of female leaders across the African continent.
The election, held on November 27, was marred by logistical challenges, including ballot paper shortages and technical failures with electronic voter registration devices. These problems led to extended voting hours and long queues, with some voters abandoning the process after waiting for up to 12 hours. The IPC has accused authorities of deliberately attempting to disenfranchise voters and has vowed to challenge the results in court.
Election monitors, including a group of southern African human rights lawyers, condemned the delays, calling them intentional. While the ECN acknowledged organizational shortcomings, such as overheating devices and insufficient ballot papers, they defended the overall process.
Voter turnout was high, with nearly 77% of the 1.5 million registered voters casting their ballots. The election proved to be a crucial test for SWAPO, as dissatisfaction grows among the younger population, a trend seen in other liberation-era parties across Southern Africa, such as South Africa’s ANC and Botswana’s Democratic Party.
Despite Namibia’s wealth in natural resources like uranium and diamonds, much of the population remains disadvantaged, with youth unemployment reaching an estimated 46% in 2018. Nandi-Ndaitwah has promised to address these challenges by focusing on economic diplomacy and attracting foreign investment.
Known for her signature gold-framed glasses and consistent display of SWAPO’s blue, red, and green colors, Nandi-Ndaitwah emphasizes the wisdom and experience she brings to her new role. As she steps into office, she faces the dual challenge of uniting a divided nation while fulfilling her campaign promises of economic growth and job creation.
