Kate, 37, donned a diamond crucifix for Trooping the Colour last Saturday. Eagle-eyed Susan E. Kelley, founder of website What Kate Wore , noted the piece (top right) looked to be slightly different to a similar cross pendant seen on the royal on a number of occasions - including to the Order of the Garter ceremony in 2011 (bottom right). A closer look at photos shows how the crucifix worn on Saturday features a diamond 'bail' - the part of the necklace that attaches a pendant to the chain - that is not present on Kate's original piece.

Meghan is the only American in the British royal family, and the leader of HER country was here in her adopted country as a guest of Her Majesty the Queen. Yet as virtually every other senior royal, including her husband Prince Harry, was seen on parade to welcome President Trump, there was no sign at all of the Duchess of Sussex. Officially, the line trotted out to the media was that she was taking care of her baby Archie, who arrived a month ago. But then, the moment Trump had gone, Meghan suddenly popped up at the Trooping of the Colour, in an open-top carriage, looking in radiant good health and with a permanently beaming grin. She missed the state banquet, she missed the palace photo-ops, she missed all the D-Day commemoration ceremonies. For Meghan, hanging out with Trump would have brand-ruinous. In her eyes, she would have betrayed her liberal mates, and everything they stand for. Of course, that attitude is entirely her prerogative. But what is NOT her prerogative is to use that personal dislike of him to snub the state visit.

A taxi driver lost his job after he feigned having a heart attack and abandoned a customer because she refused to pay him cash without the meter turned on. The driver accepted a job from Sydney Airport to Annandale in the inner west before demanding the woman pay him cash rather than charge her a normal metered fare. The woman said the driver became agitated when she refused, and pulled over on a side street in Sydenham. He turned the metre off and demanded she get out of his car, refusing to finish the trip.

Mariyka, 19 (right), was born deep inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone in 1999 to mother Lydia and father Mikhail, who was a firefighter on the night of the nuclear disaster more than a decade earlier, in 1986. Lydia and Mikhail had refused to leave the zone because they were not provided with housing by the Soviet Union, but Lydia had not known she was pregnant until giving birth. Mariyka's birth and upbringing caused a huge amount of controversy as people accused her parents of 'killing' her by raising her on milk from irradiated cows (top left) and fish from polluted rivers (bottom left). Now about to turn 19, Mariyka is healthy and living in Kiev, where she is studying with the hopes of getting a job in the hospitality industry.

Amie Schofield gave birth to an intersex child 20 years ago, and agreed to have that child undergo 'confirmation' surgery. But the child grew up feeling unsettled and confused, and suffered attacks. In 2014, Amie had another child, and was told it would be a girl, so she chose the name Victoria. When the child was born a boy, they switched the name to Victor. But it turned out the child had both male and female traits, so they named the child Victory. At 18 months, Victory started gravitating towards female and has felt that way ever since. Like her half-sibling, Victory has XXY chromosomes. She also has a separate condition that means her body doesn't fully respond to male hormones. Her genitalia are ambiguous, but due to the Y chromosome doctors marked the birth certificate as male, and encouraged Victory's parents to raise the baby as a boy. More and more doctors are urging parents of intersex children to delay surgery until at least 5 years old.

The tiny Indian elephant took its first steps soon after it was born early last Saturday at Pairi Daiza, a privately owned zoo in Brugelette, in the Hainaut province of Belgium. Footage shows the baby with its mother standing over it as it makes a failed attempt to stand - before eventually succeeding. The calf is the third female out of four births at the zoo - and its arrival was described by head keeper Rob Conachie as 'a fantastic step forward' in protecting the endangered species. It was also the second elephant birth at the zoo this year. There are only 38,000 Indian elephants left in the wild and Mr Conachie said every new birth, especially when they were female, was 'critically important'.
