Before Meghan Markle ever walked into Prince Harry’s life, the struggling spare had wondered what his life could be like beyond palace walls. In a resurfaced interview with author Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex spoke candidly about his desire for an "ordinary life." His thoughts were shared in Levin’s 2017 column for the U.K.’s Daily Mail as well as her 2018 book, "Harry: A Biography of a Prince." "I spent many years kicking my heels, and I didn’t want to grow up," the now-38-year-old told Levin. "I felt I wanted out but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself." British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital it’s likely Harry would have attempted to escape the pressures of being a "spare" beyond his home country whether the former American actress was in the picture or not.
Ex-soldier who brutally murdered daughter's boyfriend jailed for life
15.05.2023 - 15:07 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A former soldier who brutally murdered his daughter's partner has been jailed for at least 17 and a half years.
Daniel Langman strangled Anthony Collins, 28, during a horror attack at his flat in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde on May 16 2021.
The 48 year-old later claimed he "lost control" after finding his home in disarray that night before confessing to his mother he had done "something stupid".
Langman was today jailed for life at the High Court in Glasgow having been convicted of murder last month.
Lord Fairley told him: "It is quite clear to me from the statement produced by Anthony Collins' elder sister that his death is deeply felt both by her and other members of his family."
The judge warned Langman - a Northern Veteran - that he will not automatically be freed at the end of the 17 and a half years with the Parole Board making the decision.
Jurors heard how Langman did not like Mr Collins - known as Tony - and believed he was bad for his daughter Chloe.
He admitted he had barred the victim from his flat, but insisted he "definitely" meant no harm towards him.
Langman said he came home on the night of the killing and found his flat "obliterated".
He spotted Mr Collins there, claimed he was hit before hurling abuse at his daughter's lover.
Langman then went on to smack Mr Collins up to four times with his guitar.
He punched him before claiming his mind went "hazy" about what then occurred, but recalled his former co-accused Anthony McGovern "screaming" at him.
Langman: "I realised that I was on top of him (the victim) strangling him."
Prosecutors stated Mr Collins was choked by a cable being tightened around his neck.
He was also said to have been struck with the guitar, an iron, metal poles, a plastic tube and a screwdriver.
