What a difference two years makes! Slimmed down royal family attends Royal Albert Hall for this year's Festival of Remembrance - compared to busy royal box of 2019 - though the Queen stays at home ahead of her expected visit to the Cenotaph today

The Duchess of Cambridge shared a fond moment with Prince Charles last night as they joined other family members for the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. For the first time, it was apparent how slimmed down the Family has become, with fewer in the Royal Box than in 2019 - the year before Covid struck. The Queen was not herself in attendance - marking only the sixth time she has missed the annual event - as she is still resting on medical advice - but she is expected to be present at the ceremony at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. Neither Prince Andrew nor Prince Harry were among the group, since both have stepped down from official duties. The Duchess of Sussex also did not attend. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall led the diminished family group, which also included Prince William, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra. All were dressed in dark clothing as they watched from the box, clapping and giving standing ovations throughout the service.

'Make your mind up - it's her or me': Inbetweeners star Emily Atack's ultimatum to 'besotted' England ace Jack Grealish after it's revealed they've been on secret dates behind his childhood sweetheart's back 

Jack Grealish (Pictured far right) now finds himself with a big decision to make - whether to dump Sasha Attwood (Right), his girlfriend of ten years, for Emily Atack (Left) after becoming 'besotted' with her in the past six weeks. The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Ms Atack, 31 - who made her name in the Channel 4 coming-of-age comedy The Inbetweeners - has also fallen for the Manchester City star. However, she insists that she isn't going to 'hang around' for him if he doesn't end his romance with Ms Attwood.

GHISLAINE MAXWELL TRIAL

Lookalikes put world off scent: Ghislaine Maxwell was the most hunted woman on the planet and hiding out in US... so her team hired DOUBLES of herself and brother Kevin to take a stroll through Paris - then tipped off photographers

From the moment Epstein was found dead in his New York cell in August 2019, the focus of attention turned to longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell (Pictured left), even though she had never been charged with any crime. Victims of Epstein accused her of being a 'madam' - claims she vehemently denies and will vigorously contest in court when her trial begins later this month. Today, for the first time, we can reveal the lengths that Ghislaine went to in order to keep a low profile - which included the extraordinary tactic of hiring 'lookalikes' (Right) to stroll through Paris to dupe the world's media. A friend of Ghislaine's brother Kevin (Middle) Mr Hellyer, was hired within hours of Epstein's death to 'get her out of her home'.

That's quite a love triangle, actually! Elon Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley, 36, splits from pottery tycoon in his 50s and hitches up with 31-year-old Love Actually star Thomas Brodie-Sangster

She has such allure that she married the world's richest man not once, but twice. Now, Elon Musk's willowy ex Talulah Riley is dating a baby-faced actor who doesn't appear to have aged since he found fame at 13 in Love Actually (inset). Thomas Brodie-Sangster, now 31, is co-starring with the actress in Danny Boyle's upcoming Sex Pistols drama (pictured together, left), playing pop svengali Malcolm McLaren to her fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. They began dating during filming over the summer and their relationship remained undetected until The Mail on Sunday learned that 36-year-old Talulah's previous romance with Matthew Rice had come to an abrupt end. 'Talulah and Matthew were on-off for a long time, but it seems that romance fell by the wayside to make room for Thomas,' said a source. 'Talulah was dating Matthew right up until the spring, and he's still a little shocked and saddened it has all ended between them.' Matthew confirmed the split when approached by this newspaper, saying: 'She's a wonderful and amazing girl, she's utterly gorgeous. Whoever gets to be with her, whether famous or not, is a lucky man. It's such a pity it ended. I was so lucky to be in her attendance for a bit. It was on and off for a long time and it eventually ended without any arguments. We are still friends but we aren't in regular touch any more.' Diminutive Thomas's star is in the ascendant since his acclaimed role in Netflix chess drama The Queen's Gambit last year.

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Operation Rampdown: The codename revealed in leaked Government papers of an official plan to dismantle key Covid measures including self-isolation, mass testing and Test and Trace by early next year

Britain's response to Covid is set to be dramatically scaled back early next year as part of a pandemic 'exit strategy' codenamed Rampdown. The secret Whitehall plan is detailed in official Government documents leaked to The Mail on Sunday. They describe how much of the Government's £37 billion emergency programme for dealing with the virus will be dismantled and the country prepared for living with Covid 'for years to come'. The extraordinary 160-page dossier includes a string of documents marked 'official sensitive' drawn up by the senior Government officials tasked with winding down Britain's battle against the pandemic. The file reveals how the Government is set to: Axe the legal requirement for those who catch the virus to self-isolate for ten days; End free Covid tests and instead allow private companies to charge for lateral flow and PCR tests; Shut down the national 'Test and Trace' system, which identifies those who may have been exposed to the virus; Focus the fight against Covid on tackling local outbreaks and protecting 'highest risk settings', such as care homes; Scrap £500 payments for those on low incomes who must quarantine. In the documents, experts say Covid will remain at 'endemic' levels for years and that mutant strains of the virus will also 'remain a very real risk'. But, crucially, the Government's central planning assumption - described as the 'leaving soon' scenario - predicts there will be 'no winter resurgence' of the virus. The revelations come as the number of new Covid cases plunged by more than a quarter in just over three weeks - from 52,009 a day to 38,351 - and more than 12 million people have had their booster vaccines (top and bottom right).

SUPERPOWERS FLASHPOINT

Laser attack on border guards: IAN BIRRELL who first told the world how Belarus was weaponising migrants reveals sinister new developments as Polish police struggle to protect the EU frontier 

Border police (top right) have been blinded with lasers and strobe lights (left) as they struggle to shore up Europe's eastern frontier defences against the flow of migrants (bottom right) unleashed by Belarus. Polish authorities say soldiers loyal to Alexander Lukashenko, the despotic ruler of the former Soviet republic, have been arming refugees with tear gas as he steps up his so-called 'hybrid war' on Europe. The latest escalation of this crisis started on Friday night as Belarus troops ripped down posts next to barbed-wire barriers that the Polish government has installed along 120 miles of the 250-mile border between the two nations. They released video footage showing border guards targeted by strong lasers and bright strobe lighting. A spokesman for the Polish Border Force said about 100 migrants were armed with tear gas, which was used against their guards.

The Duchess of Sussex's father kept her explosive letter 'totally private' for six months, only releasing extracts after an 'attack' from his daughter's friends in a US magazine, a court heard last week. The claim that Thomas Markle was provoked into releasing details of the letter is central to a privacy case at the Court of Appeal, which last week heard a series of bombshell revelations as one of Meghan's former aides supplied fresh evidence. Jason Knauf, Meghan's press secretary at the time, provided the court with emails and text messages which showed how she had sought his advice while composing the letter to her father.

TORY SLEAZE SCANDAL

'Shame on You!': Michael Gove is heckled by the audience at Grenfell Inquiry play just weeks after he was mobbed in the street by anti-vaxxers

In the video, audience members are heard shouting at the Mr Gove (pictured: Video from the incident posted on Twitter by James Kerr) during a performance of Value Engineering in London. A group are then heard  chanting 'shame on you' at the MP as he and other audience members begin to filter out of the auditorium. It is believed the video, which was posted on social media just weeks after Mr Gove was filmed being mobbed by anti-vaxxers, was recorded at the end of the performance at the Tabernacle in Notting Hill. The play is about the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower disaster. A total of 72 people died when fire ravaged the 24-storey tower block in North Kensington in 2017. A first-stage report blamed unsafe cladding and said victims of Grenfell had paid 'a terrible price for a catastrophic failure of industry and Government'.

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Back in lockdown: Streets in the Netherlands are deserted as curfew comes in after protests over new Covid restrictions 

The streets in the Netherlands were tonight deserted as new government rules dictated all restaurants and bars close their doors for trade at 8pm. The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte recently announced a return to partial lockdown in the country in a bid to combat the spread of coronavirus. Pictures taken in Rotterdam show the near-deserted streets following the introduction of the new rules, which saw protests against them earlier today. It comes after hundreds of Dutch protestors had a water cannon turned on them by police earlier today after they objected to the partial return of lockdown in the Netherlands as Covid cases continue to soar.

Hero Para who led charge on an Argentine machine gun post - and won last VC of 20th Century: Sergeant Ian McKay's disregard for his own life was awe-inspiring, says LORD ASHCROFT... yet eerily he and his wife had vivid premonitions of his death 

During the long sea crossing from England to the Falklands, Sergeant Ian McKay wrote to a friend in the spring of 1982: 'I have no intention of taking any risks and getting killed. If I do, then it will be to protect my men, to save lives.' His words were tragically prescient. He would go on to be awarded the last Victoria Cross earned in the 20th Century for the extreme valour and selflessness that cost him his life. The 29-year-old's call to arms had been sudden and unexpected as events in the South Atlantic escalated.

Her repeated interruptions were accompanied by a scornful look.
