Hugely popular events such as Groovin The Moo, Splendour in the Grass and NYE In The Park were all axed this year in a huge blow to the Australian live music industry. However, brand new festival Pandemonium Rocks has defied the odds amid the difficult climate and managed to go ahead this month despite a string of issues. Here, Daily Mail Australia takes a look at all the Aussie festivals that have been canned after musicians shared their concern over the future of live music in the country.

According to Ray Massey, BMW's latest generation X2 compact crossover, which was first available in all-electric iX2 form, is a bit of a headbanger. He went to Portugal for the international launch and the first opportunity to see examples of both versions prior to first deliveries from March. So what happened when we put the X2 and iX2 head-to-head?

As they arrived at their first public appearance of their pseudo-royal tour, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex performed a slew of boos. Despite using a decoy vehicle and breaking through a back door, Harry and Meghan were welcomed by demonstrators (insets) as they arrived at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. The welcome was warm in the building, where Meghan will speak later today at the One Young World summit for youth leaders.

In her first speech in Megxit more than two years ago, Meghan Markle has said 'it's great to be back in the United Kingdom' as she gushed about Prince Harry (pictured inset, while left and right, Meghan during her address) and the 'life-changing' impact of being a mother to Archie. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, spoke about a recent One Young World summit in Manchester on Monday night. "And by that time, I'd say, my life has changed dramatically." I was already married and I was now a mother. My world view had broadened exponentially, seeing the global community through my children's eyes.' The Duchess of Sussex added: 'I'm delighted that my husband is coming to join me here this time.' To be able to see and experience firsthand my admiration for this company, this amazing company, and all that it does well. We're both of us, witnessing the strength of your hands and the unbridled enthusiasm and vigor that you have to see things come to fruition.'

Both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took the stage in Manchester for the One Young World summit in Manchester, ahead of the Duchess of Sussex's first address in Britain for more than two years. The couple, who had arrived by train a few hours earlier, were all smiles as they walked hand-in-hand past the 2,000-strong crowd at Bridgewater Hall, which was packed with young people from around the world. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, a stylish figure in bright red trousers with matching long-sleeved top and a slicked back ponytail, while Harry, 37, wore a dark suit, white-collared shirt, and navy tie. Meghan, who will give a keynote address on gender parity, will be seen outside a BMW 4x4 outside the venue moments before. The royal couple were on a bench for the flag-waving event, with Bob Geldof and Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham seated to their right. On Monday, Harry and Meghan were photographed along the train going through a side door of London Euston as they travelled to Manchester Piccadilly. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were carried by a hybrid Range Rover from Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to Euston, a trip that took about an hour, before stepping into the railway station. The pair had been seen grinning at each other before leaving Frogmore for the first time on their return to the UK before starting their short European tour in the North West of England.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed stepping into a side entrance of London Euston today as they board the train up to Manchester for the One Young World Summit, where the Duchess will give a keynote address. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were pushed from Windsor's Frogmore Cottage to Euston in a hybrid Range Rover, a journey that took about an hour, before walking into the railway station. The pair were captured for the first time on their return to the United Kingdom before starting their brief European tour in the North West of England, and they had been seen ginning at each other when leaving Frogmore. As they were led out of Windsor Castle's grounds, the Sussexes were accompanied by two bodyguards and another Range Rover, ahead of Meghan's first address to a British audience since Megxit. The Duke and Duchess spent the night less than half a mile from Prince William, Kate, and their three children, but the families were not expected to meet, highlighting the brothers' deep rift.

The couple were seen being swept out of Windsor Castle's grounds, where they are staying in their grace-and-favour home, Frogmore Cottage. It's the Sussexes' first public appearance in the United Kingdom since returning for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June, as Harry's legal battle with the Home Office drags on after they were refused 24/7 taxpayer-funded armed bodyguards when they visit the United Kingdom. In what has been described as a public threat to the Royal Family, the couple's decision to use at least two private security companies and dog teams to create a ring of steel around Bridgewater Hall comes just days after Meghan told The Cut magazine that it takes 'a lot of effort' to forget and hint that she can't say anything.' On Monday, they will be in Manchester for the One Young World summit, which brings together young leaders from more than 190 countries and where Meghan, 41, will address gender equality at the opening ceremony.

It's the Sussexes' first public appearance in the United Kingdom since returning from the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June, as Harry's legal battle with the Home Office drags on after they were refused 24/7 taxpayer-funded armed bodyguards when they visit the United Kingdom. The couple's decision to use at least two private security companies and dog teams to create a ring of steel around Bridgewater Hall came just days after Meghan told The Cut magazine that it takes "a lot of effort" to forgive and promise that she will "say something" in what has been described as a direct threat to the Royal Family. They're headed to Manchester on Monday for the One Young World summit, which brings together young leaders from more than 190 countries and where Meghan, 41, is scheduled to deliver a speech on gender equality. After spending the night less than half a mile from William, Kate and their three children in Windsor, the Sussexes are expected to meet in a decision that emphasizes the deep divide between the two brothers. On the Balmoral estate, the couple also refused a 'open invitation' to remain with Prince Charles at his Scottish holiday home. The Prince of Wales told the couple they were 'always welcome' at his house ahead of their trip to the United Kingdom, according to palace reports.

Even though Prince William is currently staying half a mile apart from each other, he has no plans to see his brother Prince Harry until the California-based royal's bombshell book is published this winter. William, 40, and his partner, Kate Middleton, are said to have avoided in contact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex until they know what the couple wants to reveal in their Netflix series and Harry's forthcoming book. William is accused of having no confidence that Harry, 37, would not repeat their conversations. According to reports, William's hesitance to engage with the Sussexes is their "own fault for much exaggerating and being rude." Harry and Meghan, 41, are said to have arrived at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor on Saturday, ahead of their European tour. William and Kate spent the weekend with their children in Adelaide, just 380 feet away from the Cambridge's new four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage. Prince Charles' Scottish holiday home on the Balmoral estates was also turned down by the Sussexes who declined a 'open invitation' to remain with him. The Prince of Wales told the couple that they were "always welcome" at his house ahead of their move to the United Kingdom. According to insiders, Charles believed that staying with him would be a "good opportunity for everyone to take stock and relax."

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle turned down a 'open invitation' to stay with Prince Charles at his Scottish holiday house on the Balmoral estates. According to palace reports, the Prince of Wales told the couple that they were "always welcome" at his house ahead of their trip to the United Kingdom. Charles is believed to have assumed that staying with him would be a 'good chance for everybody to take stock and relax,' according to the insiders. However, the pair turned down the invitation because they had not met before. Despite the threats that seem to be growing in vigor, sources close to Charles say he hasn't 'wavered' on his attempts to have a closer relationship with his son.' This week, Harry and Meghan, who now live in California, will be in the United Kingdom for two charity causes. They were reported to have requested to be shielded by a private security company delivering a 'ring of steel' for the duration of their journey.

Those who know Prince of Wales say he has been wounded by his son's and daughter-in-law's words and conduct, who have repeatedly criticized the royal family. According to reports, Harry, Meghan, and his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, are particularly distraught after spending time with them during the Platinum Jubilee in June. Charles is said to have seen his time together as a "minor act of repentation" after the Sussex's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, which saw Harry say he was "fully let down" by his father. Tensions were raised even more last week after Meghan said that the Sussexes had been compelled to move across the Atlantic because 'by existing, we were upsetting the hierarchy's dynamic.' She also stated that her husband had 'lost' his father,' according to a couple close to him, not Prince Charles, but her estrangement with her own father, who spoke to US magazine The Cut. The interview, which saw Meghan compare herself to Nelson Mandela, as 'delusional,' and royal insiders have criticized the Queen's remarks on the King. According to one, the Queen, who is now 96 and has canceled out of a series of public appearances in recent months due to continuing fears of her wellbeing, she does not want to be on tenterhooks or anxiously waiting for the "next nuclear bomb." The Sussexes are expected to land in Windsor today after reportedly landing in the United Kingdom yesterday overnight ahead of a visit to the country, although a potentially uncomfortable reunion with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is likely, despite the fact that they will be staying just a few hundred meters away.

Palace sources accuse Harry and Meghan of attacking the Royal Family 'because it's good for business

During Megxit, the duke and duchess sparked a new divide in their feud with the royal family this week. Meghan, the Suits actress, dropped another round of 'truth bombs' in her latest Spotify podcast and an incredible US interview in which she said she compared to South African hero Nelson Mandela and said Harry had 'lost' his father Charles. The couple's claims have come back, branding their protests against life as 'delusional' and 'tragic' - and then, implying that they'rail against the system as well as doing so to maintain public and therefore commercial interest in their 'brand.'

EXCLUSIVE: Lebohang Morake, whose professional name is 'Lebo M', said he spoke with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for 'less than a minute' at the West End premiere of the film in 2019. Meghan's bombshell interview in The Cut suggested that she had been told by a South African at The Lion King's London premiere that a huge fanfare in the region had welcomed her wedding to Harry. I just want you to know: When she got into this family, we celebrated in the streets the same way we did when Mandela was released from jail," the writer wrote. The interview has been met with derision in South Africa, and Dr. John Kani, the only South African cast member, denied it was he who made the controversial remarks. Nelson Mandela's grandson slammed Meghan, saying that the release of his freedom-fighting grandfather after 27 years in prison for his convictions did not have anything to do with her marrying a Prince. 'Indeed I was at The Lion King 2019 premier and visited the Royals,' Mr Morake told MailOnline today. I can't comment on the situation because it was three years ago and I don't recall details of the conversation, except that the Royals were going to South Africa or Botswana'. A video of the Sussexes and Mr Morake, Harry's exchanges can be seen on Africa and Malawi. The premiere took place in July 2019 and the royals travelled to South Africa and Harry to Malawi later this year. Mr Morake is heard to say, 'It's an honor to meet you.' Meghan Markle is on everyone in South Africa.

After the royals' most recent broadside, Harry and Meghan are expected to return to the United Kingdom

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 1, 2022
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are back to the United Kingdom for the first time since the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in early June, with Meghan declaring this week that she has 'just existing'. With two confirmed engagements in the United Kingdom and one in Germany to promote the upcoming Invictus Games, the Sussexes are expected to be in Europe for about six days next week. In the midst of an ongoing controversy over their safety with the Home Office and Meghan's barrage of apparent swipes at the royals in the US media, it's unclear if they will visit Balmoral. Meghan, 40, will speak at the One Young World Summit in Manchester on Monday. They will also meet a group of summit delegates who are doing "outstanding work on gender parity." The summit brings together young leaders from more than 190 countries. Meghan has been a consultant with One Young World since 2014. The Sussexes will then travel to Dusseldorf, Germany, for the Invictus Games 2023 One Year To Go event on Tuesday, before returning to the United Kingdom for the WellChild Awards on Thursday, where Harry will speak at Frogmore Cottage, where they are likely to remain after arriving in the United Kingdom on Sunday. Meghan discovered her journal at Frogmore during Jubilee celebrations, where they were not permitted into the Buckingham Palace balcony, but not invited. The finding will sparked suspicions that she might have shared her account of royal life before they emigrated. Harry's own memoirs are also published.

Is America losing love with Montecito's 'Petulant Princess'?

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 31, 2022
TOM LEONARD: In 2020, when the Sussexes returned to palace life, it was America, the land of the free, home of the brave, and a multi-billion-dollar media contract, which welcomed them with open arms. In that infamous interview with a fawning Oprah Winfrey, the public and Press assimilated every last morsel of the couple's harrowing tale of bigotry and exile in a harrowing tale of race and rejection. They were treated with skepticism and admiration by the deceitful British Press, which sparked indignation and compassion. They became the Duke and Duchess' 'across the water' soon, creating a new, 21st-century court of their own, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood celebrities and the wealthy, promoting their own brand of philanthropy, and leveraging their royal names while achieving multi-million dollar business deals, which, to most Americans, was respectable if not admirable.
