    Prince Harry appears, alone, for UK Invictus Games service

    Prince Harry made a rare public appearance in Britain on Wednesday when he attended a service of thanksgiving to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, with the strained relationship with his family dominating attention. Harry, 39, the younger son of King Charles who now lives in California with his American wife Meghan and his two children, has become estranged from the other royals after criticising both them and the institution itself in his recent memoir, interviews and TV documentaries. Although he made a flying visit to see Charles for a quick reunion after Buckingham Palace revealed that the 75-year-old king had been diagnosed with cancer in February, the father and son will not meet up on his latest trip.

    UPDATE 1-EU Commission eyeing exemptions for 'forever chemicals' ban, letter shows

    The European Commission is planning to allow exemptions from a proposed ban on substances known as PFAS, or "forever chemicals", to protect key industries, a letter seen by Reuters showed on Wednesday. In a letter to some EU lawmakers in her EPP parliamentary group, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the Commission would propose exemptions allowing the chemicals' use to continue in certain sectors, such as those where the social or economic cost of the ban would outweigh the reduction in health or environmental risks posed by the chemicals. "On this basis, the Commission intends to propose derogations for uses necessary for the EU's digital and green transition and strategic autonomy, pending viable alternatives," said the letter, dated April 5.
