The UK Royal Navy's fleet flagship had to withdraw from a major NATO exercise at the last minute. HMS Queen Elizabeth had issues with its starboard propeller shaft. In 2019, HMS Queen Elizabeth was left without propulsion for days and flooded. The ship had to anchor off Britannia Royal Naval College for 24 hours to undergo repairs, per The News. The House of Commons Defence Committee called the UK military "consistently overstretched" and under "unrelenting pressure," the Independent reports.

Gen Zers and millennials are turning to movies and TV shows for travel inspiration in a trend dubbed set-jetting. This includes a boom in bookings for the hotels in Hawaii and Italy "The White Lotus" was filmed at. In particular, travelers have been scrambling to visit the resorts where the first two seasons of HBO's hit "The White Lotus" were set. When season one was broadcast, web traffic to the Four Seasons Maui resort increased 425% year-over-year, Four Seasons told Bloomberg. To visit the Taormina hotel for a week in July, many of the lower-priced options have already sold out and two-person rooms start at around $3,500 per night.

Prinţul consort Philip, Duce de Edinburgh, soţul Reginei Elisabeta a Marii Britanii a murit la vârsta de 99 de ani, informează Casa regală a Marii Britanii. Atunci când prinţul Philip avea vârsta de 18 ani, unchiul lui, regele Greciei, a fost obligat să abdice, iar tatăl lui a fost expulzat din ţară, după Războiul greco-turc. Alături de părinţii şi cele patru surori ale lui, Philip a fugit din Grecia la bordul unui vas al armatei britanice. În 2011, pentru a sărbători momentul în care soţul ei a împlinit vârsta de 90 de ani, regina Elisabeta a II-a a acordat titlul de Lord Mare Amiral al Marinei Regale. De atunci, el a continuat totuşi să o însoţească pe regina Elisabeta a II-a la aumite evenimente oficiale.
