| Dear reader,
In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Telegraphyesterday, Boris Johnson explained that he was highly reluctant to enforce a second national lockdown, because of its severe impact. Today, Sarah Knapton, our science editor, reveals that official research from April put the potential cost of the lockdown at 200,000 deaths due to delayed healthcare.
Social-distancing rules have made getting married a very difficult proposition, even for royalty. Still, the Queen and Prince Philip were able to attend Princess Beatrice’s wedding last week, as was her father, Prince Andrew. Yet the Duke of York was nowhere to be seen in the official photographs. As Camilla Tominey explains, that absence, as well as a number of other clues in the photos, can tell us rather a lot about the relationship between the Queen and her descendants.
Finally, 35 years on, Live Aid remains one of the most iconic events in music culture. The twin concerts weren’t just musical epics, they were also immense efforts of logistics and artist-management and yet The Band Aid Trust had only a single employee. That was Pete Smith, who told The Telegraph the inside story of how Live Aid came together and the many surreal moments with the likes of Elton John and David Bowie along the way.
