Queen Elizabeth II sat alone as she buried her husband of 73 years during a COVID-secure ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, on April 17. However, some family members avoided talking to Prince Harry after the duke traveled back to Britain from California for the first time since his royal exit, according to biography Battle of Brothers. Even Prince William, who was seen chatting to his brother as they left the ceremony, did not meet Harry privately for fear their words would be relayed to the media, historian Robert Lacey wrote....

The trade was made Wednesday, the same day Patton was in the Triple-A All-Star game. The Rangers assigned him to Triple-A Round Rock. Frasor was 1-1 with a 3.34 ERA in 38 appearances this season, his second in Texas. The right-hander spent nine seasons with Toronto (2004-12), returning to the Blue Jays after being traded to the White Sox in July 2011 and finishing that season in Chicago. The injury-plagued Rangers (38-57) went into the All-Star break with the worst record in the major leagues....

Once again, the Royals called on Jeremy Guthrie to stop the bleeding, but it didn’t quite work out the way everyone would’ve hoped. The Royals again got embarrassed by the worst team in baseball. Things were cruising right along for Guthrie until the 4th inning when a leadoff walk and an error on center fielder Lorenzo Cain cost the Royals their first run of the game. Things got a little dicey in the 6th when Guthrie loaded the bases with two outs....

Phase 3 clinical trial results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, show that a single dose of nirsevimab, a promising new immunization to treat RSV, was 74.5% effective at warding off the virus in healthy infants. This trial is paving the way for an RSV vaccination to finally become available to the general public. The vaccination, which is being developed by Sanofi and AstraZeneca, is a long-acting monoclonal antibody synthetically created to target RSV infections, which can cause bronchiolitis and pneumonia....

The Germany international had only just returned from two weeks out with a separate knee injury but he will now face a spell on the sidelines after having surgery in Rome to repair his meniscus.

Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke left the stage in protest the moment they saw the Donald Trump ally and former New York City mayor, according to Deadline and TMZ. The other two judges in the primetime singing competition, Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger, are said to have remained on stage and bantered with Giuliani, a former Trump lawyer who helped his ex-client push the baseless claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen....

Giuliani, who is now a personal lawyer to President Donald Trump, told Maria Bartiromo on her Fox News show Sunday Morning Futures that the protests in New York City, which have now been running for 10 nights, “can’t go on for much longer.” “They have been peaceful. They were yesterday and they were the day before. It has put a tremendous strain on the police department and the idea…that the police department has been out of control is totally crazy,” said Giuliani, who was NYC mayor from 1994 to 2001....

A special grand jury in Georgia’s Fulton County is investigating allegations that Trump and his allies attempted to illegally overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. Giuliani’s attorney Robert Costello told The New York Times on Monday that he had been informed his client is a target of the Georgia probe, which the former GOP mayor of New York City himself later confirmed on WABC radio’s The Rudy Giuliani Show....

In the aftermath of the November presidential election, Giuliani and other Trump supporters alleged that some Dominion voting machines were programmed to flip votes away from Trump to President Joe Biden. Dominion has repeatedly denied the allegations. In January, Dominion filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Trump-supporting attorney Sidney Powell from making similar claims. Giuliani denounced Dominion’s lawsuit against him on Monday, claiming that he would file a countersuit....

Many consider Pele the most complete, a genius who combined a mesmeric talent with the brain and athleticism to conquer all before him. But did Diego Maradona eclipse his talent, if not his sense of professionalism? Was Cruyff the greatest conductor of team the game has seen? His ideals permeated throughout the game like no other, and his impact is still being felt throughout the world as the game’s great innovators tweak and expand the fundamentals of what the world labelled Total Football....

The Italian champions sealed a deal worth €112million to bring the Portugal captain to Turin from Real Madrid, where he had won four Champions League titles in the past five years. Juventus are already dominant in Serie A, with the club winning each of the last seven Serie A titles, but they have repeatedly fallen short in the Champions League. And Matthaus, Germany’s most-capped player, feels the arrival of 33-year-old Ronaldo could help Juve secure a first European crown since 1996....

The former Real Madrid star ended a nine-year spell in Spain in July when he joined reigning Serie A champions Juventus and he is aiming to win a domestic title in a third different country. Unlike former Sporting CP and Manchester United man Ronaldo, Messi’s entire career has been spent at Barcelona and he is under contract through the 2020-21 season. Messi turns 34 in June 2021 and Ronaldo has suggested the Argentina international should experience life away from Barca before he hangs up his boots....

There are instances where a transfer changes the landscape of the beautiful game, such as the €222 million world-record transfer of Neymar from Barcelona to Paris Saint Germain. On other occasions, a club picks up a player who turns into a world-beater like when Liverpool snapped up Luis Suarez from Ajax Amsterdam for just €26.50 million. There’s also the very real possibility of a transfer not working out like the swap deal which involved Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexis Sanchez between Manchester United and Arsenal....

Sterling has hit 15 Premier League goals this term, with Manchester City two points behind Liverpool in the race for the Premier League title but with a game in hand. The England international is reportedly a contender for individual honours, his three goals also helping City reach the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will face Tottenham. And Rooney feels City boss Guardiola has played a key role in the development of Sterling, who accused the media of fuelling racism in an explosive social media post, becoming a key man for club and country....

The former Manchester United captain finished calmly to put Everton 1-0 up at the Etihad Stadium, marking his second goal in as many games in the top flight since rejoining the Toffees. Everton 7/1 to beat Man City And in doing so he passed a milestone that only Shearer before him has reached since the Premier League was born back in 1992-93. Rooney has now scored 200 goals in the division, while Shearer remains the man to beat with 260 for Blackburn and Newcastle United during his glittering career....

When a successor to Gareth Southgate is eventually required, at least one black or ethnic minority candidate is set to be interviewed. Drawing inspiration from the NFL, the English Football Association announced yesterday it had adopted its version of the Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview a diverse pool of candidates for coaching and management positions. “It is the right thing to do but there is also a business case for it,” FA chief executive Martin Glenn said while overlooking the pitch at Wembley Stadium....

Rooney is no longer an automatic starter at Old Trafford, with the England skipper down Jose Mourinho’s pecking order in Manchester. As a result, Rooney has been linked with a return to boyhood club Everton, while MLS and CSL are possible destinations for the 31-year-old.
