Team’s happiness
The crown prince of Denmark, the husband of Queen Margrethe, has died at the age of 83; he has been one of the unhappiness as he died without being the king.
The controversial French-born prince had returned to Fredensborg Castle, north of Copenhagen, after being in hospital with a lung infection.
His flamboyant style was both loved and criticized by Danes.
The queen, 77, is said to have accepted her husband’s decision, which broke a 459-year-old tradition of burying royal spouses together.
Frustrated with his royal title, he announced in 2017 that he did not want to be buried next to his wife.
She already has a specially-built sarcophagus in a cathedral west of Copenhagen where the remains of Danish royals are buried.
The prince, who was diagnosed with dementia last year, died “peacefully in his sleep” at the castle, the Royal House announced. Queen Margrethe and their two sons were at his side
Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederick Henrik and queen Margrethe II
No plans for his funeral have been announced.
Prince Henrik was born Henri Marie Jean André de Laborde de Monpezat in 1934, and married the then-crown princess Margrethe in 1967.
She became queen in 1972 and over the years Prince Henrik made no secret that he was unhappy at being denied the title of king.
Many Danes disliked him for that, seeing it as a sign of an arrogant man hungry for recognition.
In Denmark, a princess traditionally becomes queen when her husband takes the throne, but a man does not become king if his wife becomes queen.
But in recent years, many youngsters thought his manner represented a break from the norms of cultural uniformity in Danish society.
In 2016, he retired from official duties, renouncing the title of Prince Consort. In the time since, he was often in France at his private vineyard.
He spoke with a thick French accent and was known for his love of food, wine and poetry.
Prince Henrik and Queen Margrethe have two sons – Crown Prince Frederick and Prince Joachim.
Crown Prince Frederick returned from the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea last week to be with his ailing father.
It’s renowned for being the ‘most romantic day of the year’.
And many of us use it as an opportunity to show affection for our loved ones with cards, flowers or chocolates.
But why exactly do we celebrate Valentine’s Day and why does it fall on February 14?
Well we’ve trawled through the history books to find out the real reasons so you don’t have to – and the background casts a very different light on the holiday.
How did Valentine’s Day begin?
Valentine’s Day is an old tradition thought to have originated from a Roman Festival known as Lupercalia, according to History.com.
It was held on February 15 as a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture.
During the celebrations boys would draw names of girls from a box and the pair would be partners during the festival.
These matches often led to marriage.
The festival survived the initial rise of Christianity but was outlawed at the end of the 5th century when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St Valentine’s Day.
Chaucer may have actually made it all up
haucer, as in The Canterbury Tales writer, may have actually been behind Valentine’s Day. The medieval English poet took quite a few liberties with history.
He’d drop his poetic characters into real-life historical events leaving readers wondering if that’s what really happened.
There is no actual record of Valentine’s Day before Chaucer’s poem in 1375.
It’s in Parliament of Foules that he links the tradition of courtly love to the St Valentine’s feast day – the tradition didn’t exist until after his poem.
The poem refers to February 14 as the day of birds coming together to find a mate. “For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne’s day / Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate,” he wrote and maybe invented Valentine’s Day as we now know it.
Who was St. Valentine?
The St Valentine that inspired the holiday may have been more than one man.
The saint officially recognized by the Roman Catholic Church was a real person who died around AD 270.
An account from 1400s describes Valentine as a priest who was beheaded by Emperor Claudius II for helping Christian couples wed.
The emperor had banned marriage as he thought single men made better soldiers.
Valentine felt this was unfair so he celebrated marriages in secret.
When the emperor found out he was thrown in jail and sentenced to death.
He may also have been Bishop of Terni, also martyred by Claudius II on the outskirts of Rome.
There are similarities between the priest’s and bishop’s stories, which leads people to believe they are the same man.
There’s so much confusion around St Valentine that the Church stopped veneration of him in 1969 – though he is still listed as an official saint.
“Valentinus” is from the Latin word for worthy, strong or powerful, and was a popular name between the second and eighth centuries AD meaning there are several martyrs with the same name.
There are actually a dozen Valentines listed and there’s even a Pope Valentine.
The actual day we celebrate is known as St Valentine of Rome to set him apart.
What does he really have to do with love?
Valentine did help marry couples in secret, which is arguably very romantic.
He is the patron saint of beekeepers and epilepsy among other things…Like the plague, fainting and travelling.
That doesn’t stop people calling on his help for those romantically involved. He’s now also patron of engaged couples and happy marriages.
Why is his skull kept in Rome?
Yes, that’s right. St Valentine’s skull is housed and adorned in flowers in Rome. It’s actually on display in the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
It was found when people were excavating a catacomb near Rome in the early 1800s. The skeletal remains and other relics now associated with St Valentine were dug up. It’s the norm for these to be split and distributed to reliquaries – places that keep relics – around the world. If you wanted to see other parts of the saint, he’s on display in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Scotland, England and France.
Why do we give Valentine’s cards?
Another idea is that when he was sent to prison, he sent a letter to a young girl he had fallen in love with and signed it “From your Valentine”.
Why is always celebrated on February 14?
Some believe that Valentine’s Day’s is celebrated mid-February to mark the anniversary of St Valentine’s death.
It’s thought to have happened in the middle of the month around 270 AD.
Others maintain that the Christian church decided to place St Valentine’s feast day at this time of the year in an effort to ‘Christianise’ the pagan festival of Lupercalia.
Why are roses associated with Valentine’s Day?
Roses have been the symbol of love since the early 1700s when Charles II of Sweden brought the Persian poetical art known as the “language of flowers” to Europe.
Throughout the 18th century, ladies loved their floral dictionaries, which listed the symbolic meanings of different flowers, according to YourTango.com.
The red rose was believed to be the flower favored by Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love, and has therefore come to represent that.
Why cupid?
Cupid is the god of desire, erotic love, affection and attraction. He is the son of Venus, goddess of love, and war god Mars. Cupid in Latin is ‘amor’, which means love.
When did Valentine’s Day become commercial?
It wasn’t until the 18th century that Valentine’s Day took off in England. Lovers began to send trinkets, cards and flowers to their loved ones.
A huge amount of printed cards would get sold, then in 1913 Hallmark Cards in Kansas City began mass producing specific Valentine’s Day cards.
Now about a billion cards are sold every year and it’s the second biggest card sending time of the whole year.
Why do we sign cards anonymously?
Apart from the embarrassment, there was an actual tradition started by the Victorians.
They thought it was bad luck to sign the cards with their actual names.
It was also the Victorians that sent roses as they were Venus’ favourite flower.
Valentine’s Day inspiration
Valentine’s Day has developed a reputation for consumers splashing out on fancy candy, lavish gifts and expensive holidays – but it’s not always the cash that counts.
Mahashivaratri, a much revered festivity of Hindus, especially the devotees of Lord Shiva was observed today.
Devotees have thronged Pathupatinath Temple since early Tuesday morning to offer prayers to ‘Bholenath‘ (Lord Shiva) on the occasion of Mahashivaratri.
Pashupatinath Temple is considered to be one of the major centres of pilgrimage for Hindus, especially Shaivaites.
All four doors of the temple were opened at 3:15 am for the devotees to pay homage to Lord Shiva.
Arrangements have been made for the devotees to enter the main temple from three doors (a door in the south of Pingalasthan, another one west of Jayabageshwori-Bhuvaneshwori, and the third from Mitrapark-Umakunda-Basuki).
The devotees are supposed to exit from the same door they have entered, said a Pashupati Area Development Trust official.
Approximately 1.3 million devotees are estimated to pay homage to Lord Pashupatinath at the festival this year, according to PADT.

A meeting held between CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli and CPN Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal this morning has decided that both the parties will lead the new government in turns.
Speaking at a programme organised in the Capital today, CPN-UML Vice Chairman Bhim Rawal said, “In the one-to-one meeting, both the leaders have agreed on leading the upcoming government in turns.”
“While announcing the party merger, the left alliance had already made a seven-point agreement on handling the new government alternately,” informed Rawal. “Who will lead the upcoming government is not even a question. Both the parties have already formed an alliance. Only announcement is pending.”
The UML Vice-Chair further assured that a new government under the premiership of Oli would be formed within a week as per the people’s mandate.
He further asked the general public to remain positive and not create doubt on the merger. “We will let you know about the updates regarding the government formation, and policies and work-plan of the left alliance as soon as we decide on it.”
“Regarding the current government’s decisions against the election code of conduct and people’s aspirations, new government under the left alliance will review such decisions and move forward in carrying out its responsibilities,” said Rawal.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have revealed more details of their forthcoming wedding on 19 May.
The couple will marry at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, at midday – meaning a clash with the FA Cup final is unlikely as recent finals have kicked off at 17:30.
At 13:00 they will travel through Windsor, Berkshire, in a carriage.
Kensington Palace said the couple is “hugely grateful for the many good wishes they have received”.
The palace also confirmed that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will marry the prince and Ms Markle.
The Rt Rev David Conner, dean of Windsor, will conduct the service at St George’s Chapel.
The chapel holds about 800 people, making it a more intimate setting than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in Westminster Abbey.
Following the marriage service, a carriage procession will travel along a route including Castle Hill, High Street, Sheet Street, Kings Road, Albert Road, Long Walk and back to Windsor Castle.
“They hope this short journey will provide an opportunity for more people to come together around Windsor and to enjoy the atmosphere of this special day,” Kensington Palace said.
The couple will return to a reception for guests from the congregation at St George’s Hall.
That evening, Prince Charles will give a private evening reception for the couple and close friends and family.
Who is Meghan Markle?
Prince Harry’s brother, the Duke of Cambridge, usually attends the FA Cup final and presents the trophy as he is president of the Football Association.
Last month, Prince William joked about whether or not he would be best man, saying: “He hasn’t asked me yet. It could be a sensitive issue.”
He said he was “still working” on the wedding and the football date clash. The time of the match has yet to be confirmed.
Who will be best man at Harry and Meghan’s wedding?
The Royal Family will pay for the wedding, including the service, music, flowers and reception.
Ms Markle will be baptised into the Church of England and confirmed before the wedding.
The event will take place just a month after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is expected to welcome their third child to the family.
Finance is Australia’s biggest industry, and its banks are some of the most profitable in the world.
But now the nation’s highest form of public inquiry is examining misconduct by the nation’s banks and financial institutions.
The royal commission follows a decade of scandals that have rocked the sector.
How dominant are Australia’s banks?
Australia’s “Big Four” – Commonwealth Bank (CBA), ANZ, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Westpac – collectively have about 80% of the country’s banking market.
What have been the scandals?
All four major banks have faced misconduct allegations. They include:
Dodgy mortgages: About 20 NAB bankers were sacked after issuing home loans based on incorrect or incomplete documentation.
Alleged breaches of anti money laundering laws: Commonwealth Bank admitted it was late to disclose 53,000 suspect ATM transactions.
Analysts estimate that Australian banks have paid more than A$1bn (£550m; $780m) in penalties and compensation since the 2008 financial crisis.
Why was an inquiry deemed necessary?
Momentum grew from continued public debate about whether banks were putting profits and shareholders ahead of customers.
He said the royal commission would extend to the entire financial industry, including superannuation – or pension contributions – insurance and wealth management sectors.
The biggest banks said they welcomed the inquiry as a way to end “political uncertainty”.
What will be investigated?
The catchfly-titled ‘Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry’ will examine misconduct which has already been established in the sector – as well as allegations about other wrongdoing.
It also has the remit to look at possible gaps in how the industry is monitored and regulated.
Anyone can make submissions to the inquiry – with bank customers among those expected to give plenty of input.
How Australian bank customers are suffering?
The commissioners will have the power to examine documents, call witnesses and take evidence. The inquiry is scheduled to take 12 months.
The banks say they remain confident about the process, but some industry watchers have predicted further damaging revelations.
What could happen afterwards?
The inquiry can make recommendations to reform the industry, and even prosecutions, if it finds wrongdoing.
But it cannot award compensation for individual cases or even directly tell institutions to take action. But it can propose redress schemes.
Could the inquiry fall short?
Critics have said a year-long inquiry may not be able to sufficiently investigate all allegations.
