Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is currently on a mission to take the police to court over alleged unlawful searches of his properties when he was arrested in February, as he remains holed up at his safe haven in Sandringham, provided by his brother, King Charles. But as the monarch owns the residence, he has the final say on everything, including Andrew's neighbours - who are now a herd of new cows.
A herd of rare British White Cows has arrived in a field right next to Andrew's current home, Marsh Farm. His Majesty has added the British Whites to his herd of 200 native heritage cattle, and they are happily grazing on grass yards away from the front door of Andrew's Norfolk residence.
British Whites are among the earliest recorded domestic cattle breeds in Britain and have roots dating back to Norfolk from the late 1700s.

The cows are ideal for conservation grazing on wet sites, making them ideal to live on the bog land around Andrew's house, where they will break down vegetation to encourage higher plant diversity and create bare ground to help birds find food.

On September 9, 2026, Jersey Mike's Subs Inc. (NYSE:JMKE) reported its first quarterly results as a public company, with total revenue up 10% year over year to $208 million and same-store sales accelerating to 2.3% growth from 1.7% in the prior quarter. It was primarily driven by transaction growth even as the restaurant industry faced weak traffic trends. Net income fell to $37 million from $59 million a year earlier. It showed non-routine expenses, advertising fund timing, and higher interest costs following the company's July initial public offering, partially offset by a $14 million gain on the sale of corporate-owned stores.
Jersey Mike's Subs Inc. (NYSE:JMKE) is gaining customers while its brand remains a major competitive advantage. The firm added 83 stores in the second quarter. It grew its customer base and increased systemwide sales 10% to $1.21 billion. Jersey Mike's also earned the No. 1 ranking among U.S. quick-service restaurant brands in the 2026 American Customer Satisfaction Index, surpassing Chick-fil-A after 11 consecutive years at the top. It gives the newly public company a strong foundation for continued customer and franchisee growth.
The business has substantial whitespace for long-term unit growth. Jersey Mike's ended the quarter with 3,378 locations and maintains a domestic development pipeline of more than 1,600 stores, with more than 90% of that pipeline coming from existing franchisees. Management estimates that the U.S. market could eventually support roughly 7,500 locations and sees potential to reach approximately 15,000 stores globally. It gives the business a long runway for franchise-led revenue and royalty growth.
Digital engagement and transaction growth give Jersey Mike's more avenues to increase sales. Digital sales represented 43% of systemwide sales in the second quarter, up from 41% a year earlier. Same-store sales increased 2.3% mainly because customers placed more transactions. Jersey Mike's also had more than 12.5 million active MyMike's loyalty members in 2025. It provides the company with a large customer database that it can use to increase frequency and personalize marketing as it expands.
Jersey Mike's Subs Inc. (NYSE:JMKE) still faces a significant profitability challenge despite its revenue growth. Second-quarter revenue jumped 10% to $208 million. However, net income fell 37% to $37 million from $59 million a year earlier. Management attributed part of the decline to advertising-fund timing and higher interest expense. It shows that revenue growth has not yet translated into comparable bottom-line growth for shareholders.

Leeds United made it four unbeaten to start the Premier League campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Newcastle United under the lights at Elland Road.
Riding the momentum and scoring three first half goals, Noah Okafor added to the tally in the second period to shoot the Whites up to third in the top-flight standings.
After the game, Daniel Farke said: "On rare occasions even for a manager, it is a joy to watch a football game, and especially his team playing. But this was one of those rare occasions so I also enjoyed my team playing tonight.
"It was an excellent performance, really, from the first to nearly the last second, and also sadly not a clean sheet in the end. But overall, a top-class performance and I am proud of my boys.
"We wanted to press Newcastle and wanted to dominate this game. But on the other hand, you also have to be aware how much pace they have up front.

She paired the tailored piece with flashes of gold jewelry and accessories.
Lopez recently shared photos from her poolside Labor Day weekend.
It's no great secret that some styling rules were made to be broken, and it seems that Jennifer Lopez isn't quite ready to give up her whites just yet, even though Labor Day has come and gone.

On the latest episode of BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet, reporter and commentator Adam Pope was alongside Jonny Buchan and Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix to discuss his recent chat with the Whites managing director Robbie Evans.
Pope said: "He [Evans] spoke for the best part of an hour to the local press. The mood was really good, as you'd expect because they'd instigated this sit-down on the back of the window, so I think it's fair to say the mood was 'look, we're on the back of a really good window'.
"It was a good window and a good deadline day. That was the context in which this was done."
Pope said one of the key headlines was the discussion around Daniel Farke's contract situation, on which Rix added: "I think it'd be naive to think there have never been any negotiations.
"I've said that I didn't think it was a worry that it hasn't been signed, even with the year left. I don't think that's a problem."

Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans says the club and boss Daniel Farke are "on the same page" as they look to agree a new contract.
Farke, who guided Leeds to a 14th-placed finish in the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final last season after winning promotion in 2024-25, is in the final year of his current deal.
The Whites have taken five points from three league games this campaign and Evans said the German had done "a fantastic job".
"As far as the contract discussions themselves, Daniel and his team and I have had really good chats for the past three months and they're all on the same page," he said.
"Unlike signing him back in 2023 or doing a deadline day deal kind of thing the time pressure is far reduced and so we have a time to get it right as far as what he wants and what we want.

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Carabao Cup third-round tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Farke said there's "a little question mark" over Daniel James as he "reported an issue with his back after the warm-up at Brighton". He added: "The scan results were good. We have two more sessions [so] if he comes through those then he is hopefully available. Carefully optimistic."
Farke confirmed there will be some squad rotation against Chelsea to help "integrate new players". The German also said he wants Leeds "to be difficult to predict and tactical".
"It's possible" that goalkeeper Michael Zetterer will make his Whites debut in the cup, but they "won't make a decision before the training session this afternoon".

After a quick turnaround following the weekend's Premier League draw at Brighton & Hove Albion, attentions now turn to the trip to Chelsea for Wednesday's EFL Cup Round Three tie for Daniel Farke's side.
The manager spoke to the press ahead of the visit to Stamford Bridge and hopes to have a strong squad at his disposal as the Whites look to progress in the competition.
When asked if there was any major updates to his players' availability, the boss explained: "Joe Rodon, obviously long-term injury out.
"Little question mark behind Daniel James. He reported during the warm-up at Brighton some issues with his back and also with his hamstring.
"Scan results were good so it seems like no new injury. He just had an individual session yesterday. It was okay.

Leeds United Women comfortably beat local West Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town Women at the BD Community Stadium in Garforth, making it five wins on the bounce to begin the new season.
This FA WNL Cup Group T match was dominated by the Whites from start to finish, and the final 3-0 scoreline was more than deserved for Simon Wood's side, who have been in fine form in the first few weeks of the campaign.
Speaking after the match, Wood was quick to praise not just the quality of his side but also their mindset.
"We're pleased in the fact that I think the messaging we've been giving to the players since last week against Chorley was, "the Cup's got to be a healthy distraction," the manager began, discussing what he said to his side in the build up.
"And what we've got is obviously eyes on the league, because we've started the league campaign really, really well and we didn't want this to be something that derailed us a little bit from that.

Starting for the first time this season in Leeds United's draw with Brighton & Hove Albion was defender Gabriel Gudmundsson, who was pleased with a point on his return to the team.
Jayden Bogle's first half strike opened the scoring for the Whites but a goal for the host after the break saw the Seagulls salvage a point.
"I have been waiting for this," the Swedish international told the media after the full-time whistle, delighted to get back out there on the pitch.
"Of course, it has been a tough period but again just a credit to the physio team that helped me here today very prepared.
"So, of course, overall very happy with the point here. I think Brighton, especially, is a very, very difficult place to come to. And to be honest, I think last year we were lost here quite bad.

English club cricketer and endurance athlete Sam Bodoano has completed an extraordinary 62-mile (100km) run from Lord's Cricket Ground in London to Valley End Cricket Club in Woking, Surrey, in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the longest run-up before bowling a cricket ball.
Bodoano, 22, from Worplesdon near Guildford, Surrey, began his run at Lord's on Saturday and completed the gruelling journey around 14 hours later at Valley End Cricket Club on Sunday. His challenge culminated in him bowling the opening delivery of an 11-a-side match to his father.
To meet the requirements for the record attempt, Bodoano had to complete the entire 100km journey in full cricket whites while carrying a cricket ball. He then had to take part in a cricket match and deliver the opening ball. While Bodoano has completed the challenge and believes he has surpassed the existing mark, Guinness World Records has not yet officially recognised the achievement. The organisation's evidence review and verification process is still under way.
A Guinness World Records spokesperson said the application would need to go through the formal evidence review process before the record could be officially confirmed. The review can take around two weeks, depending on the evidence submitted.
If confirmed, Bodoano's run-up would comfortably surpass the previous men's record of 15 miles. The current holder of the record for the longest bowling run-up (male) is Tom Dunn, who ran 15 miles (24km) from Bethnal Green, in east London, to Wandsworth Common, in south London, in August 2024.
Despite the physical demands of the challenge, Bodoano completed the run for a charitable cause, raising almost £6,000 (Rs 7,64,513) for The Ruth Strauss Foundation, a cancer charity founded by former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss.
"I'm very tired, I lost a lot of sleep, but it was all for an amazing cause," Bodoano said.
An experienced endurance athlete, Bodoano has previously competed in the England Hockey Men's Premier League, completed the London Marathon and Ironman Wales, and finished third in a 112-mile backyard ultra-marathon. He also works as a running coach and content creator.

Bristol City will travel to Deepdale this evening to take on Preston, as they look to pick up back-to-back wins in the Championship.
The Robins got their first three points on the board on Saturday, beating Portsmouth 2-1 in front of a packed Ashton Gate. Lorent Tolaj opened the scoring by netting his first Championship goal, before Jason Knight headed home a second on the hour mark. A late penalty for Pompey made for a nervy final few minutes in the South West, but Michael Skubala's side ultimately got over the line.
Preston, meanwhile, have lost their opening three matches to Bolton, Wolves and most recently Charlton Athletic, giving cause for concern amongst fans ahead of taking on a side that will be aiming for a play-off spot come May, whilst the Lilywhites are more worried about securing their spot in this division for next season.
Preston have underperformed their xG so far this season, creating enough chances to have scored three goals, but only netting two so far. They have also only registered an average of two shots on target per match, the lowest in the league. By contrast, the Robins have netted four goals in their last two outings, against Birmingham City and Portsmouth, with both Tolaj and Dom Ballard opening their accounts in the process.
Bristol City have picked up four points from their last two trips to Deepdale; it arguably should be six, but Anis Mehmeti failed to make his chances count last year, meaning the game finished 0-0. Max Bird, Yu Hirakawa and Nahki Wells were on the scoresheet the year before, as Liam Manning's side picked up a 3-1 win. Preston won the last meeting between these sides 2-0, back in January, when Lewis Dobbin and Alfie Devine found the net.

After being named in the starting XI for Leeds United's Premier League encounter with Brentford, Brenden Aaronson is expecting a tough challenge against the Bees.
The Whites kickstarted the new campaign with a victory at Nottingham Forest last weekend, before picking up another win at the City Ground in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.
"We are super excited," the American international said after checking in at Elland Road. "We know the atmosphere is going to be amazing.
"This has probably been my fourth time playing here on opening day and this is like an unmatched atmosphere, so we are really excited.
"Brentford are a top team. They have started the season amazingly. I think we have had a great start to season too but it is going to be a very tough game.

Tottenham have been dealt a cruelly-timed injury blow after Savio was denied a Premier League debut for the club due to a muscular issue.
Savio joined Spurs from Manchester City in an eye-watering £85m deal but got off to a perfect start for the Lilywhites in midweek, coming off the bench and immediately scoring in the 5-0 Carabao Cup win over Charlton.
He was expected to make his league bow for Spurs alongside fellow ex-City team-mate Omar Marmoush against Newcastle in Saturday's late kick-off, but was notable for his absence in the matchday squad.
Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi has now explained why the Brazilian missed out on the visit of the Magpies.
"We had some bad news yesterday," he told Sky Sports. "He suffered muscular fatigue. The medical staff didn't want to take a risk. I agree with them."

Big-spending Tottenham host a Newcastle side that boast an excellent recent record against the north Londoners. BBC Sport takes a look at some of the key themes..
After making such a shocking start to the season against Brentford last Saturday, Tottenham's 5-1 victory against Charlton in the League Cup at least provided a much-needed fillip.
The manner of Spurs' insipid defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium was as bad as anything seen under Thomas Frank or Igor Tudor last season and was of great worry to boss Roberto de Zerbi and fans alike.
Brentford had an xG of 3.87, six big chances and their 26 shots was the most Spurs had faced in 142 Premier League fixtures dating all the way back until October 2022.
The Lilywhites have accrued just 79 points from their last 77 Premier League matches since the start of the 2024-25 campaign, a tally that is under half ***** nal's total of 162 across the same period.

Leeds United Women began their FA WNL Cup campaign with an important three points in Group T of the competition, beating Halifax Women away from home.
With the scores level at 2-2, Chloe Dixon scored a superb strike to put the Whites ahead, which was enough to seal three points on the night.
Speaking after the match, Dixon gave her thoughts on the win.
"I think tonight it was nice for everyone to be getting minutes and involved in it.
"You can try different things, you can get your rotations in, and it's a bit less pressure than the League, I'd say. So it's a nice way to play fluently.

Leeds United Women begin their FA WNL Cup campaign with a visit to rivals Halifax Women in Group T on Thursday evening.
The two sides meet in the cup for the second season running, after a 1-0 win for the Whites at Garforth last term where Darcie Greene's incredible solo goal proved the difference.
Last time out for Leeds was a convincing 3-0 win on the road at Chester-le-Street Town Ladies with Amy Woodruff netting a hattrick to guarantee the three points and take home the match ball.
The centre-forward had the Whites in the driving seat at the break after converting instinctively from Darcie Greene's mazy run down the left flank, before bagging two more in the closing stages of the match - another Greene cross tap-in and a glancing header.
The hosts are coming into the clash off the back of a 4-2 win over Norton and Stockton Ancients on home turf, having three first half goals complimented by a stoppage time fourth.

There is no shortage of picture-perfect smiles in Hollywood. From super-straight veneers to blinding pearly whites, it's rare to see any crooked or yellow-stained teeth on the red carpet. Yet, for decades, Johnny Depp rejected the trend, embracing his imperfect grin.
In 2024, however, the Alice in Wonderland actor surprised fans by debuting a dramatically transformed set of teeth.
Here, we look back at Johnny's smile evolution over the years, from his "rotten" tooth in the 90s to his gold caps in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Johnny's smile has evolved significantly over the years. He showcased his natural pearly whites in a 1990 headshot – the same year he starred opposite Winona Ryder in Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, which was followed by a string of big-screen hits including What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), Benny & Joon (1993), and Sleepy Hollow (1999).
Over thirty years ago, Johnny insisted that he would never have a "perfect" set of gnashers.

The saga of not one, but TWO summers is finally at an end. Savinho has officially joined Tottenham Hotspur!
We are delighted to announce the signing of Sávio from Manchester City ✍️
The Brazilian winger, who will wear #17 (which fits nicely with his move to N17), has transferred from Manchester City for a reported £75 million plus £10 million add-ons. It's a hefty fee for a promising talent, but one that is supposedly offset by some transfer shenanigans around a double signing from City, with Omar Marmoush the second player reportedly joining for a lower fee to offset a sell-on clause inserted by Eintracht Frankfurt in his shift to City.
It's a big signing for Spurs. The Lilywhites have been in desperate need of quality in attack, and have arguably over-invested in late-peak players this summer who are unlikely to develop further. Savinho, or Savio, is somebody who is still early in his career and will have the ability to grow and develop in the coming seasons… at least that's the hope. And he's already a pretty decent player!
There was a nice touch from the club as well, as they welcomed him with a video from Xavi Simons, previously teammates with Savio at PSV Eindhoven:

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement to sign Omar Marmoush on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Spurs will have Marmoush on loan, and will be able to sign him permanently for £50 million next summer.
The deal includes a buy option which will become an obligation once certain conditions are met by the player.
The Lilywhites have responded to their atrocious display against Brentford by agreeing to bring in another attacker days after their Savinho agreement.
They lost 3-0 against the Bees in their first Premier League game of the 2026-27 season.

A late Anton Stach free kick fired Daniel Farke's Leeds United to an important opening day victory over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
With the deadlock still to be broken heading into the final few minutes, the midfielder's scintillating strike sent the travelling Whites contingent into raptures and left the boss thrilled with the result.
"I am very happy," Farke the media after the full-time whistle in the East Midlands. "It couldn't be a better way to start the season.
"So, the first game is the first three points, especially an away win at a very, very difficult ground in a very competitive and tight game.
"Also, a first clean sheet under our belt and several new signings on the pitch. Like expected, it was a tight game. I think it was a game of different periods.
