While many books have been written about life in the royal family, they’ve almost all come from journalists, retired staff members or distant friends. It seems fair to say that no one this close to Queen Elizabeth II has ever written a memoir in which she will surely play a large role.
Foster said the fact the sheik had been implicated “in some or any way” in the Bahraini government’s crackdown on athletes in 2011-2012 and his silence on al-Araibi’s situation should exclude him from seeking a third term.
He said it was incumbent on FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Samoura and FIFA as an organisation to threaten Bahrain with sporting sanctions if it proceeded with the attempts at refoulement, the forcible return of a refugee, via Thailand’s legal system.
The Swiss-based World Players’ Association (WPA), which represents 85,000 players in over 60 countries, has called on Sheikh Salman al-Khalifa, the president of the Asian Football Federation (AFC), to help win al-Araibi’s release.

Chief executive Max Siegel said the USTAF “understood” the ramification of postponing the Games for the first time ever in peace time, but that moving forward would not be in the best interest of athletes.
Suggesting a year’s delay, he said the IOC was experienced in dealing with obstacles, citing the cancellations in 1916, 1940 and 1944 because of World Wars and the political boycotts of the Games in Moscow in 1980 and Los Angeles in 1984.
BERN, March 24 (Reuters) – A change of culture is needed at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make decision-making more inclusive, an association representing 85,000 athletes around the world said on Tuesday, following the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics to 2021.
The Sport and Rights Alliance (SRA) and the World Players Association (WPA) said a “deep review and broader consultation” with athletes was required regarding the decision over whether the Games could run as planned.
At the height of the pandemic last year, many private healthcare facilities were only able to offer patients limited services, prompting concerns that insurance firms would continue to rake in premiums while customers were left without viable options.
From April this year, eligible individual Bupa customers, and small and large business customers funding health insurance for their staff, can expect to receive a payment equivalent to around one month’s premium.
He’s now sixth, since William’s three children all come ahead of him in the line of succession. Prince Harry was born third in line to the British throne, behind his father, Prince Charles, and older brother, Prince William. Harry now lives in California with his American-born wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, including new baby Lilibet Diana.
The book will be published globally in late 2022, and the prince will donate proceeds to charity. Prince Harry continues to shake up the British royal family by tackling things that were simply Not Done by past royals. Now he’s writing an “intimate and heartfelt” memoir that’s “accurate and wholly truthful,” publisher Random House said Monday.
Royal-watchers, of course, will be especially attuned to details about what it was like growing up with glamorous Princess Diana as a mother, and Harry’s front-row seat to his father’s affair with his now-wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles. And Diana’s tragic death in a Paris car accident in 1997, when Harry was just 12, will surely be discussed.

“Given the highly unresolved situation in Norway and in large parts of the world, it is neither justifiable or desirable to send Norwegian athletes to the Olympics or Paralympics in Tokyo until the world community has put this pandemic behind them,” sports president Berit Kjøll said.
World Players Association (WPA) executive director Brendan Schwab said that, while he was happy with the decision to postpone the Games, the delay in making it in the face of the growing coronavirus pandemic made the IOC look almost naive.
The royal family might prefer Prince Harry to keep his experiences to himself, but now that he’s in America, thousands of miles away from palace courtiers, they can’t really tell him what to do. In March, Harry and Meghan, aka the duke and duchess of Sussex, spoke to Oprah Winfrey for an , and later, the duke appeared on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s . He also worked with Winfrey on a mental-health series, The Me You Can’t See, which is available on Apple TV Plus.
“The IOC needs to elevate its dialogue with the full range of those most affected beyond sponsors and governments to an open multi-stakeholder process that brings to the table as equals player associations as the representatives of athletes and others most at risk,” WPA executive director Brendan Schwab said in a statement.
