Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III’s enlarged prostate was discovered by Queen Camilla.

“Her Majesty knew for some time that something was wrong with her husband,” a palace source said. “But she couldn’t put her finger on it.

“Luckily, like many married couple they still enjoy the occasional ‘date night’(main picture) – sometimes quite literally – which was when she did manage to put her finger on it and raise the royal alarm,” the spokesperson said.

US Vice-President Kamala Harris is being urged to trigger the American Constitution’s 25^th amendment, enabling her to assume the powers of the presidency by side-lining Joe Biden.

White House insiders admitted that President Biden was now displaying clear and unequivocal evidence of advanced dementia, giving the Vice-President ample reason to make her move.

“Exhibit A is his statement that a two-state solution is still possible under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a way to end the war in Gaza. Does the V-P need anything else to use the 25^th Amendment?” one said.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has blamed the Labor Party for Alex de Minaur’s exit from the Australian Open at the hands of Andrey Rublev.

“Labor is to blame for Australia now having no men’s single player left in the tournament with any hope of claiming the Australian Open,” Mr Dutton told a news conference in Brisbane this morning.

“When I was told that Labor was criticising Alex de Minaur just days ago saying he should be doing more with his tennis skills it was plain what the result would be and that’s now come to pass. It’s all Labor’s fault.”

Mr Dutton then asked reporters if they had any questions only to be advised that Rod Laver not Labor had made the remarks.

He responded by repeatedly screaming “No!, no!, no!, no!, no!” until all reporters had left the room.
