PM Calls To Identity Ex-MP In Foreign Spy Ring, Prince Harry Appeals UK Police Protection Loss

Are we seeing happily ever after or taxi cab theory happening right before our eyes?

The news that Harry Styles had popped the question to Zoe Kravitz took the world by surprise this week, we unpack the celeb coupling with our Pop Culture and Social Editor Tina Burke, about why this is all happening so fast and whether the theory from Sex And The City, that a man is only willing to settle down once his light is on, is the case in this surprise engagement.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Rebel Wilson is set to take the stand for a second day amid defamation accusations
The UAE has quit OPEC
The Trumps have welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the White House
Jimmy Kimmel apologised to the Trumps but not for the joke about Melania
The man accused of planning a terror attack on Taylor Swift's Vienna shows has pleaded guilty
