🇬🇧Palace insiders allege Harry and “delusional” Meghan are attacking the monarchy “because it is good for business,” with the Queen “waiting for the next nuclear bomb.”

🗯️“Everyone hoped they would go off to be financially independent, pursue their philanthropic endeavours and be happy - and that in going their own way, they might no longer feel the need to rail against the system as much as they still do,” one disgruntled insider said to a news agency.

The sources also claimed that the Queen, who is now 96, has refused a string of public events in recent months amid on-going concerns over her health. She also reportedly does not “want to be on tenterhooks” constantly waiting for the “next nuclear bomb”.

🚬For teenagers, vaping presents a “route into nicotine addiction, rather than out of it," an expert warns

The warning comes after a new study concluded that a significant number of teens who try vaping have never smoked before.

The proportion of 16 and 17-year-olds who had tried e-cigarettes increased from 23% to 39%, whereas 68% of those who had tried them said that they had never tried smoking before, while only 3% claimed that it was a way to quit smoking, data from the Tobacco Free Research Institute Ireland shows.

🗯️"This indicates that, for teens, vaping is a route into nicotine addiction, rather than out of it." Professor Luke Clancy, director general of the Institute said.

💧Thunderstorms and heavy rain pounded parts of northwest Georgia on Sunday, sparking flash flooding in some areas. Local news reports showed roads under water and homeowners struggling to keep water out.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon in Chattooga and Floyd Counties, directing all state resources to help with “preparation, response and recovery activities.” The National Weather Service said rainfall of up to one inch per hour was causing creeks, streams, roadways, and urban areas to experience unusually high-water levels. Up to 12 inches of rain was estimated to have fallen in the area, according to Kemp’s executive order.

“This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order,” the service said.
