Munich runways closed again after drone sightings

Both runways at Munich airport were closed on Friday evening for the second time in less than 24 hours after drones were again sighted, leading to dozens of flights being diverted or cancelled and stranding some 6,500 passengers, authorities said.
Early on Saturday morning, the airport said its scheduled 5 a.m. opening had been delayed due to drone sightings, advising passengers to contact their airlines.
“German air traffic control restricted flight operations at Munich Airport as a precautionary measure due to unconfirmed drone sightings and suspended them until further notice,” a statement on the airport website read.
In a later update, the airport said 23 flights were diverted, 12 flights to Munich and 48 departures cancelled or postponed.
“As on the previous night, the airport and airlines took care of the passengers,” it added. “Camp beds, blankets, drinks and snacks were handed out.”
The previous evening, the captain on a London-bound aircraft whose departure was cancelled told passengers that runways had been closed “because of drone sightings near the take-off and landing runways” and that police helicopters were aloft.
The airport website showed due arrivals had been diverted starting at 8.35pm local time (1835 GMT).
Munich airport was closed for several hours late on Thursday and in the small hours after unconfirmed drone sightings that disrupted dozens of flights.
European aviation has repeatedly been thrown into chaos in recent weeks by drone sightings that some authorities have blamed on Russia. The Kremlin has denied any involvement.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt promised earlier on Friday to bring forward legislation making it easier for the police to ask the military to shoot drones down.

Prince Harry ‘frustrated’ over King Charles reunion hype

Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the UK is still all the hype!
Particularly his reunion with father, King Charles, which happened almost after two years of estrangement, is still making headlines.
Additionally their “private tea” at Clarence House, which lasted less than an hour, has been the subject of intense speculation.
Most recently, the Duke of Sussex release a rather stern statement after reports suggested that he felt that the father-son meeting was more formal than expected.
In the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast, hosts Andrea Caamano, HELLO! editor Emily Nash, and guest Matt Wilkinson, royal editor at The Sun, discussed how events unfolded and what could happen next.
Emily said of the leaks: “That sort of triggered a kind of war of words between the two sides. And there’s clearly a lot of frustration, both from the King’s camp and Harry’s, over the way things are being played out in the media.”
When asked whether the “war of words” might end soon, Matt replied: “We need a period of silence, but the problem is it’s Harry that brings the noise, it’s Harry’s visit that brings the noise, it’s his interview with The Guardian a couple of days later that that brings lots of attention.”
This episode also discussed other royal news, such as King Charles’ latest engagement and “takeaway” request, Prince Andrew’s status at Christmas and why Prince William’s hectic schedule is good news for his wife and the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton

Princess Beatrice sees future crumble around her after Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson

Princess Beatrice has been hit pretty hard with her father Prince Andrew and mom Sarah Ferguson’s personal woes.
So much so that her chances at a royal future are also looking bleak, according to a well placed source.
This insider shared everything with Heat World during a candid chat and explained that while “the King was previously open to striking some type of compromise with Beatrice especially, one that would see her take on more royal responsibility and potentially ease herself back towards a full-time working position within the family.”
Now “that can’t possibly happen”, because there are many who “would believe it would be rewarding her father by association and the consensus is that a clean cut with the Yorks”.
So as it stands, “as far as business and formal invites at the very least – is what’s necessary.”
For those unversed with the issues plaguing the Yorks, after his late accuser Virginia Giuffre tied Prince Andrew with the convicted sex offender, his ex-wife Sarah was also revealed to have emailed him a written apology after publically denouncing his actions, out of fear of a lawsuit.
According to the source, “this is horrible for the girls, it’s all crumbling around them so quickly and dramatically.”
“This is just heart-breaking for them and they’re very upset with their mother and father, quite rightly so,” she said while signing off.

With rollout of new album, Taylor Swift once again turns her lyrical skills into a business strategy

New York — The world’s most recognizable showgirl may be entering a new era, but there’s no sign that Taylor Swift’s gold rush is slowing down.
Swift is the only female musical artist in history to sell more than 100 million albums. Her newest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” created a frenzy when it was released Friday.
“In terms of a business person, Taylor is at the top,” said Kevin Evers, author of the new book “There’s Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift,” and a senior editor at the Harvard Business Review. “She’s always been extremely business savvy, and we can see this with this release, too.”
Evers says that Swift has always been “really fan-obsessed.”
“So if you look at all the album variants, and all this new stuff that she’s doing around this album, she’s really trying to give her fans as much value as possible,” Evers said.
In August, Swift announced “The Life of a Showgirl” on the popular podcast of her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce. She said the album was inspired by the record-smashing Eras Tour, the first-ever tour to gross more than $2 billion.
“This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and, and vibrant,” Swift said on the podcast.
Since then, countdowns on her website appeared for limited edition vinyl records, CDs and cardigans, all of which sold out within minutes.
“I mean, she’s definitely going to make a lot of money from this album, and she’s not shy about that,” Evers said. “But at the same time, the reason why all these strategies are working is because her fans are actively engaged.”
Fans are flocking to see her film, “Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” which is in theaters this weekend only.

The album became Spotify’s most streamed album in a single day this year. The company said it only took 11 hours to hit that mark.
“Streaming really does not create a lot of money for artists,” Evers explained. “Yes, Taylor Swift is making millions of dollars on streaming, but she’s making much more on merch and the vinyl variants.”
Some tracks seem to reveal new tidbits of her love story with Kelce, a key player in the album’s rollout. It is giving her dedicated fans a look at a new, happier chapter of her life off-stage, and a peek into the future of what could come next.
