Harry and Meghan celebrate Lilibet's fifth birthday 5 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Helen Bushby Culture reporter Instagram/Meghan, Duchess of Sussex The Duke and Duchess of Sussex called Lilibet "our dream girl" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared two new photos of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, as they celebrate her fifth birthday. The first image was of the couple smiling and embracing while Prince Harry holds Lilibet, and the second is of the princess with her hand on a flower in a garden. "Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili," Meghan wrote on Instagram . Lilibet is the couple's second child and is two years younger than her brother Archie . Instagram/Meghan, Duchess of Sussex The second image was of Lilibet embracing nature Meghan recently called Lilibet "Mama's little helper", after posting an image of them in what looks like a walk-in wardrobe, where the duchess is trying on a coat while her daughter is crouched down nearby. The latest images of the princess come two weeks after the duchess celebrated the couple's eighth wedding anniversary, with a series of photographs of them from their big day. Last month, they revealed they are to make a film based on a true story of British troops under siege during the Afghanistan war. The couple's production company, Archewell, is developing a feature film for Netflix based on the book No Way Out by Major Adam Jowett. It comes after their relationship with Netflix was watered down last year. After their previous contract ended last summer, it was replaced by a "first look deal", which gives Netflix first refusal on any new proposed shows from the duke and duchess. In April, the duke and duchess completed a four-day visit to the east coast of Australia in a private capacity as they are no longer working royals. Their trip included focusing on Indigenous culture, Australian sport, multiple good causes and a trip to the Australia's War Memorial.

Andy Burnham visits a pub and chats to the landlord as part of his campaign for the Makerfield byelection. Photograph: Temilade Adelaja/Reuters View image in fullscreen Andy Burnham visits a pub and chats to the landlord as part of his campaign for the Makerfield byelection. Photograph: Temilade Adelaja/Reuters Burnham pledges business rate cuts for pubs, cafes and other small businesses Greater Manchester mayor’s proposals amount to a notable criticism of Keir Starmer’s policy in the area Andy Burnham has proposed a 20% cut to business rates for pubs with many smaller, family-run enterprises taken out of paying the levy altogether, in his first major policy initiative during the Makerfield byelection. Burnham’s plans amount to a notable criticism of Keir Starmer’s policy in the area, with the Greater Manchester mayor saying: “Labour have got it wrong on small businesses.” He has previously been wary of discussing concrete policy decisions, in part because of a desire to focus on the current contest, but also because he has said he would not want to go beyond what Labour promised in its election manifesto. But in a policy statement released by his team on Friday, Burnham acknowledged criticism of the government’s policies towards small businesses, and particularly pubs, pledging help on business rates. Under his plan, pubs, clubs and music venues would receive a 20% cut next year, while smaller, independent hospitality, leisure and retail companies would have the threshold for paying business rates raised for the first time since 2017, taking many outside the scope of the tax. A taper system would avoid a payments cliff edge. The cuts would be paid for, according to the proposal, by higher levies on giant warehouses operated by online firms such as Amazon, and targeting the owners of empty high street properties. “I am willing to be honest about where we have fallen short and say that my party has got this wrong in government,” Burnham said in the statement. “They have undervalued the contribution these businesses make to our livelihoods and our communities. ‘I wouldn’t flinch’: Burnham on social care, markets, Brexit – and the prospect of a general election Read more “Our high streets matter to me because they matter to the people who live here. I want to make sure that these family-owned businesses, as the heart and soul of this country, are protected and given the chance to thrive.” The proposals go further than a Treasury plan announced in January for a 15% cut to business rates for pubs in England from 1 April, with bills then frozen in real terms for a further two years. It followed a backlash in the hospitality sector against changes to business rates announced in Rachel Reeves’ budget in November with warnings of potentially widespread closures and job losses, particularly in pubs. Despite the support package, UK Hospitality, which represents the sector, said the majority of members still expected to pay more in business rates, saying tha
