The Mirror: Fury over Nigel Farage's earnings from 9 jobs - 'astonishing amount of money'

His highest-paying gig involves promoting gold investments, earning nearly £8,000 an hour, while his MP role pays him just £28 per hour.

Le Monde: After decades in exile, the former Greek royal family regains its nationality and creates controversy
The former Greek royal family has been granted Greek nationality after decades in exile, allowing them to reclaim their surname "de Grèce." This decision has sparked criticism from left-wing opposition and constitutionalists in Greece, highlighting the historical tensions between monarchists and republicans.
The royal family's exile followed a tumultuous political history, including King Constantine II's controversial role during the 1960s and the subsequent military coup in 1967. After the fall of the dictatorship in 1974, a referendum led to the abolition of the monarchy and the confiscation of royal assets.
