A majority of Scots believe Scotland should scrap the monarchy and become a republic, according to new polling reported by The National newspaper.

The survey found that more than half of respondents support removing the British monarchy, intensifying debate over the royal family’s future in Scotland. 

The findings were quickly seized upon by anti-monarchy campaigners. 

“The royals are losing support, fast. We will abolish the monarchy,” Republic group wrote on X. 

The figures come as King Charles III continues his annual stay at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands. 

Earlier this week, his eldest son, Prince William, joined him there after official duties in northern England, according to British media.

The poll also lands during a turbulent stretch for the royal family. 

The monarchy is under renewed pressure following the leak of a 2010 email in which Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, asked disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein for financial help and an apology. 

The correspondence has resurfaced in media coverage, adding to the Windsor family’s public embarrassments.

Leonardo DiCaprio faced a humiliating encounter with Ibiza police recently.

The Oscar winner was reportedly left red-faced after failing to be recognized by the authorities while attempting to enter a private party on the Spanish island.

RadarOnline revealed that the embarrassing incident has left DiCaprio “seething,” with his friends saying that it should serve as a wake-up call for the Titanic actor.

The source said, “They were trying to enter a party, and he was searched, everyone in his entourage was, but it was humiliating to say the least.”

Adding, “He may have tried to play it cool, but he was seething.”

“People in Leo’s circle have seen him party-hopping with the same group of hangers-on and a different model girlfriend every year or so for too long and feel it’s time for him to grow up,” the source noted.

This comes after DiCaprio, 50, revealed in an interview with Esquire that he feels “emotionally 35.”

“I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress,” he told the outlet.

While the insider claimed that treatment from Ibiza police has left Leonardo DiCaprio “mortified”, it hasn’t stopped him yet. “He seems to live for the party scene and folks question how long he can go on like this before he becomes a grossly exaggerated caricature of himself,” the source said.

TOKYO: Japanese police said Thursday they had arrested a 75-year-old woman who allegedly confessed to keeping the body of her daughter in a freezer for two decades.

Investigators on Tuesday found the body of an adult woman in a deep freezer at the home of Keiko Mori in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, said a local police spokesman on condition of anonymity.

Mori “said it was her daughter”, Makiko, who was born in 1975 and would be 49 or 50 years old if alive, the spokesman said.

“Decay was advancing,” he added, noting that an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.

Mori came to the police on Tuesday with a relative to report that she had kept the body in the freezer.

When investigators visited the house with Mori, they found the body dressed in a T-shirt and underwear, kneeling face-down inside the freezer, the spokesman said.

Mori was arrested on suspicion of abandoning a body.

She told investigators that the smell was filling the house so she bought the freezer and placed the daughter’s body inside, according to the spokesman.

Mori had several children, but police did not disclose how many or what they had told investigators about Makiko.

She had been living alone since the death of her husband earlier this month, the spokesman said.
