On the hook Why hacking case meant so much to Prince Harry

Prince Harry has long despaired of the royal family's failure to take on the press. His father, King Charles, had told him it would be a "suicide mission". And he does seem to have been burned. When he appeared in the witness box in June, the first senior British royal for 130 years to do so in court at a trial, he was asked about the toll his fight was taking.

He fell silent, his head dropped, and he appeared to be fighting tears. "It's a lot," he finally answered.

Celeriac soup with almond pangrattato

I'm not ashamed to say that as soon as September hits, my stick blender comes out. Just as I embrace salads when the clocks go forward in the UK, I wholeheartedly throw myself into soup season once the summer holidays end. Autumn is approaching in the northern hemisphere and I'm ready with my ladle. Celeriac is one of my favourite soup heroes, because it gives the creamiest, silkiest finish with little effort. You don't have to make the almond pangrattato, but it is a wonderful addition.
