King Charles has finally agreed to cede power to his elder son and heir to throne Prince William amid poor health concerns.

This has been claimed by royal insiders while speaking to the Radar Online.

The insider said, “Prince William sees his dad as kind of weak and incapable of doing things the way he would do it to protect the monarchy.”

The royal confidant continued, “While King Charles was babying his brother, giving him the benefit of the doubt, William was telling him to pump the brakes and kick him out.

“Prince William is no-nonsense. He didn’t like the way his father was ruling.”

The sources went on saying Queen Camilla is “fuming” over how William and his wife, Kate Middleton pushed her aside, undermined Charles, who celebrated his 77th birthday on November 14, and “bulldozed their way” into taking over the response to the fallout from former Duke of York Andrew’s alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

The insider said, “Camilla is all about the power trip. She knows that her husband had been waiting to be king for a very long time, and quite frankly, she had also been waiting to be queen.

“Camilla is just trying to hold on to the throne for as long as possible and taking it away is devastating her.”

• Dealers say some companies delivering small amounts of diesel.
• Fuel pumps running dry and unable to serve customers: dealers
• Dealers also complain of cancellation of orders after placement. 

Fuel traders warn that a manufactured shortage of high-speed diesel is affecting petrol pumps nationwide, calling on the government to act before conditions deteriorate, The News reported on Saturday. 

In a letter to the chairman of the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra), the Petrol Pump Dealers Association said oil marketing companies (OMCs) have been limiting diesel supplies for the past week. 

According to the dealers, some companies are delivering very small amounts, while others are not supplying fuel at all. Because of this, many pumps are running dry and are unable to serve customers. 

Dealers say they place orders that later get cancelled, and fuel trucks are left waiting for hours without being loaded. They believe the shortage is not natural but artificial, created by companies ahead of a possible increase in fuel prices expected later this month. 

The association said the supply cuts are so severe that stations are “hardly able to meet the public’s needs”. They have asked Ogra to direct OMCs to provide diesel based on each pump’s regular sales so that stations can operate normally again.

The letter, sent on November 14 by the association’s vice chairman, was also shared with senior officials, including the petroleum minister, the petroleum secretary, the director general oil, and the secretary of the Oil Companies Advisory Council.

It may be noted that a fuel price update is expected at midnight today. 

The government jacked up the fuel prices for the outgoing fortnight, effective from November 1, following recommendations from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) and the relevant ministries.

The petrol price was increased by Rs2.43 per litre and set at Rs265.45 per litre till tonight, while the price of high-speed diesel (HSD) was also increased by Rs3.02 to Rs278.44 per litre, the Finance Division said in a notification based on the authority’s last review.

Selena Gomez is offering a candid look at life as a newlywed nearly two months after marrying Benny Blanco.

The 33-year-old singer and actress appeared on Apple Music this week for an interview with Zane Lowe, who congratulated her on finding “happiness with someone” to share her life with. 

Gomez agreed that married life has been deeply fulfilling so far. “I definitely can agree to that. It has been such a dream so far,” she said.

 She added that she expects any long-term relationship to have its “ebbs and flows,” but called Blanco “the most beautiful person I could do that with.”

Gomez and Blanco, 37, got married on September 27 in Santa Barbara, after going public late last year.
