Introducing The Royal Box, Yahoo UK's brand new show on all things royal.

Presented by Kate Thornton, episode two features the Queen's former press secretary Dickie Arbiter.

Mr Arbiter addresses Thomas Markle’s ‘Good Morning Britain’ interview and breaks down how he would have handled the situation differently. Plus, how Prince Harry wants to give his children the family he never had.

Also on the sofa is royal biographer and Majesty magazine editor Ingrid Seward who debunks some royal myths and stylist Grace Woodward, who chronicles Meghan’s style transformation - and where she’s going wrong.

Plus, we look at what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have in the diaries for the next few weeks.

Candid photos of Syria's Assad expose a world beyond the carefully crafted and repressive rule
Personal photos of ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad have surfaced from his abandoned residences, sparking ridicule among Syrians who until days ago were persecuted for criticizing his carefully crafted public image. The intimate and candid photos, reportedly discovered in albums from Assad’s mansions in the hills of Damascus and Aleppo, offer a stark contrast to the polished, glamorous image that Assad and his father projected as they led Syria for half a century. Syrians have been fascinated by the background glimpses of a seemingly normal family that held the country in an iron grip and bombed some their fellow citizens regarded as a threat.
