Secretary of State Mike PompeoMichael (Mike) Richard PompeoPompeo to speak to influential Iowa GOP group Giuliani worked for Dominican Republic candidate amid Ukraine efforts: report Pompeo, foreign partners condemn Russian cyberattack on country of Georgia MORE, along with top foreign officials from almost a dozen other nations, on Thursday strongly condemned a major Russian cyberattack on the country of Georgia that significantly disrupted operations across government and media organizations.

The October attack by Russian intelligence officers disrupted and damaged servers within the Georgian president’s office, the country’s judicial system and multiple government municipalities, and interrupted the broadcasts of at least two major television stations.

Pompeo described the attack in a statement on Thursday as an effort by Russia to “sow division, create insecurity, and undermine democratic institutions,” and noted that it “contradicts” Russia’s claims that it is a responsible state actor in cyberspace.

“The United States calls on Russia to cease this behavior in Georgia and elsewhere.  The stability of cyberspace depends on the responsible behavior of nations,” Pompeo said. “We, together with the international community, will continue our efforts to uphold an international framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace.”

Lt. Col. Carla Gleason, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said in a separate statement: “This attack is just one more example of how Russian malign behavior erodes transparency and predictability, undermines the rules-based international order, and violates the sovereignty of its neighbors.”

The United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre said Thursday that it publicly assessed with the “highest level of probability” that Russia carried out these attacks, and that the attacks were “part of Russia’s long-running campaign of hostile and destabilizing behavior towards Georgia.”

Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the Russian attack represented a “breach of Georgia’s sovereignty,” emphasizing that the attack “disrupted society” along with endangering the Georgian population and national security.

“Georgia will continue to work closely with its partners to strengthen cyber security at the national level to minimize future risks and potential threats,” the ministry said. “We call on the international community to give due consideration to this fact.”

U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the attacks on Georgia were “totally unacceptable,” and vowed the British government would continue exposing Russian aggression in cyberspace. 

“The Russian Government has a clear choice: continue this aggressive pattern of behavior against other countries, or become a responsible partner which respects international law,” Raab said. 

Senior foreign officials from almost a dozen other countries — including Australia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic and Estonia — also condemned the Russian cyberattacks on Georgia.

The Australian government, which is a partner in the “Five Eyes” intelligence sharing alliance that also includes the U.S. and the U.K., strongly advocated that Russia face consequences for the attacks.

“We will not stand by when cyberspace is used to destabilize democracies, undermine institutions or disrupt critical infrastructure,” the Australian government said in a statement.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko pushed back against the accusations, telling Russian state-sponsored news agency RIA Novosti on Thursday that “Russia did not intend and is not going to interfere in any way in the internal affairs of Georgia in one form or another.”

Russia has long been considered one of the most dangerous foreign threats in cyberspace, and has launched attacks against Georgia in the past, mostly notably in 2008 while the two countries were at war and the Georgian president’s website was targeted by Russian actors and was temporarily taken offline. 

Moscow has also launched consistent cyberattacks on Ukraine and, according to U.S. intelligence agencies and the report compiled by former special counsel Robert MuellerRobert (Bob) Swan MuellerCNN’s Toobin warns McCabe is in ‘perilous condition’ with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill’s 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE, attempted to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.

Breitbart News Entertainment Editor and bestselling author of 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know Jerome Hudson is set to deliver a primetime speech on Saturday at Turning Point USA’s Black Leadership Summit.

The annual event is expected to see hundreds of young black conservatives gather in Washington, DC. The three-day event the will feature activism training and speeches from the likes of Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jenean Michelle Hampton, syndicated radio host Larry Elder, conservative firebrand and BLEXIT founder Candace Owens, and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Jerome’s speech come on the heels of his new bestselling book, from Harper Collins, rocketing to number 5 of the Amazon bestsellers list. “Once you’re done reading 50 Things They Don’t Want You to Know, you’ll never trust the powers that be to give you the whole truth again,” HarperCollins said of the book that blows up myths from immigration to health care, education, crime, climate change, Silicon Valley’s tech takeover, race relations, and much more.

Last year, President Donald Trump hosted hundreds of attendees of the the Black Leadership Summit at the White House.

“Each of you represents the future of our nation. You are not afraid to stand up for your beliefs or stand against injustice. You refuse to be told by the same failed voice how to think or what to believe,” President Trump said during his speech.

Earlier this year, Jerome delivered a fiery speech at Owens’ Blexit rally in Richmond, Virginia, where he called out left-wing actor Don Cheadle and the political left attempting to silence and smear Breitbart News. Jerome will host a book signing on Saturday after his speech.

President TrumpDonald John TrumpFed saw risks to US economy fading before coronavirus spread quickened Pro-Trump super PAC hits Biden with new Spanish-language ad in Nevada Britain announces immigration policy barring unskilled migrants MORE’s budget proposes closing a network of climate science centers, prompting concerns the administration will hamstring climate change research while booting employees from the federal workforce.

Trump’s fiscal year 2021 budget would slash funding for the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers, eliminating all $38 million for research to help wildlife and humans “adapt to a changing climate.”

Rather than fund all eight regional centers along with the national one, the budget instead calls for just one center, at a cost of $20 million.

The restructuring plans follow similar steps employed by the Trump administration, where agencies with research ties are reshuffled or relocated, often prompting a reduction in staff.

“They have a track record of doing this,” said Aaron Weiss, deputy director at the Center for Western Priorities, an environmental watchdog group. “In a normal administration, you wouldn’t blow up eight other regional climate centers without going through Congress. I don’t know exactly what they’re going to do, but, this being their wishlist, I won’t be surprised if they try to put some of it into action without approval from Congress.”

The administration previously moved two research wings of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to Kansas City. One of those agencies, the Economic Research Service, lost nearly 80 percent of its nearly 200-plus person staff and had trouble producing required reports.

The administration is also in the midst of relocating Bureau of Land Management (BLM) staff, shifting more than 150 Washington-based employees to locations across the West, leaving just 61 employees in the nation’s capital. The move is expected to break apart the team that reviews the environmental impacts of major projects.

The move ignited a fight between lawmakers and BLM, with agency officials arguing they did not need congressional approval to move forward with the relocation.

The eight regional centers that are on the chopping block are part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) but housed at universities where they produce research about the local impacts of climate change.

This isn’t the first time the administration has tried to trim the number of regional centers, but it is the first time they’ve tried to eliminate all of them. Last year, Congress not only kept all eight centers, it also boosted their funding.

“Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) provide actionable science and research that directly address many of the climate-related challenges unique to different regions of the country,” the House Appropriations Committee wrote in a report. “The Committee believes the administration’s attempt to reduce and curtail the activities of these centers is shortsighted and counterproductive at a time when our natural and cultural resources, our communities, and our health are being assaulted by climate change.”

The National Center for Climate Adaptation is currently located in Reston, Va., outside of Washington, D.C., while the regional centers are located at universities in Fairbanks, Alaska, Manoa, Hawaii, Seattle, Tucson, Ariz., Boulder, Colo., Amherst, Mass., Norman, Okla., and Raleigh, N.C.

A spokeswoman for USGS argued the consolidation of regional centers would not harm its mission.

“Doing so continues this work while achieving efficiencies,” Karen Armstrong said in a statement to The Hill.

But Joel Clement, a whistleblower who left the Department of the Interior amid an effort to reassign those working on climate change, said that because Congress routinely ignores presidential budget requests, the administration has focused on changes that disrupt the work itself.

“You can try to squeeze the funding but Congress may not allow that, so they squeeze the work,” he said, arguing that consolidating regional climate centers into one will “hobble those efforts.” 

Robin O’Malley, who helped establish the system of climate adaptation science centers at the beginning of the Obama administration before retiring from USGS late last year, said the attempts to limit the reach of the regional, university-based centers comes amid an Interior-wide push for greater scrutiny of the grants given to higher education.

Eliminating the regional centers would jeopardize important research on how the earth is changing, he said, giving wildlife managers local information about how species are being impacted by climate change.

“This will really impact the ability of fish and wildlife managers to understand where things are going to be changing, why they’re changing,” he said. “What is lost is the ability to manage things people love and care about. We love the outdoors in this county; we love birds and animals, and we have set up an enormous system to manage it.”

Regardless of how the USGS consolidation plays out, critics say the massive cut in funding for climate science speaks volumes. 

“The presidential budget is all about sending signals,” Clement said. “The signal they’re trying to send is: we do not value climate science.”

A Facebook executive in 2016 warned the company that taking down all instances of political misinformation would unfairly target conservative users of the social network, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.

The reported warning came in the weeks following the 2016 presidential election, when Facebook was in the early stages of developing “Project P” — for propaganda — in an effort to streamline how misinformation about American elections and politics was identified and removed from the site.

The program quickly found dozens of pages that had put out false information about the election and its candidates in the weeks leading up to the election. It was also discovered that the majority of the pages were based overseas, had financial motives and exhibited significant conservative bias, the Post reported.

When higher-ups in the company moved to have all of the pages removed, Joel Kaplan, now head of Facebook’s Washington office and the highest-ranking Republican at the company, reportedly pushed back.

“We can’t remove all of it because it will disproportionately affect conservatives,” said Kaplan, who worked in former President George W. Bush’s White House, according to the Post.

When others involved in the discussion stated that the pages were producing “fake news,” Kaplan reportedly replied: “They don’t believe it to be fake news.”

The end result was that the worst of the pages were taken down, but the majority of them remained, according to the Post report.

Facebook’s new policy, which they announced in January, didn’t introduce much change.

Campaigns can still post and promote political messages that are blatantly false, all while using the site’s powerful advertising tools to target specific audiences.

Instead, Facebook gave users the ability to better control the frequency in which political ads appear.

“We’re updating our Ad Library to increase the level of transparency it provides for people and giving them more control over the ads they see,” Facebook director of product management Rob Leathern said in a blog post at the time.

“We recognize this is an issue that has provoked much public discussion — including much criticism of Facebook’s position. We are not deaf to that and will continue to work with regulators and policy makers in our ongoing efforts to help protect elections,” Leathern added.

The Hill has reached out to Facebook for comment.

China has expelled three U.S.-based journalists for The Wall Street Journal after its foreign ministry deemed an op-ed in the newspaper referred to the country with a “racist” headline.

A statement obtained by multiple news outlets from China’s foreign ministry blamed the expulsions on an opinion piece written by Walter Russell Mead titled “China is the Real Sick Man of Asia,” a reference to the ongoing outbreak of a new form of coronavirus in the country.

“The Chinese people do not welcome media that publish racist statements and maliciously attacks China,” spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters, according to Reuters. “In light of this, China has decided to revoke the press cards of the three Wall Street Journal correspondents in Beijing starting today.”

“However, regrettably, what the [Journal] has done so far is nothing but parrying and dodging its responsibility. It has neither issued an official apology nor informed us of what it plans to do with the persons involved,” Geng added.

China’s announcement was immediately condemned by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China. The group, which represents foreign journalists in China, in a statement to The Washington Post called the expulsions “an extreme and obvious attempt by the Chinese authorities to intimidate foreign news organizations.”

“Many of those evicted from China are fair and talented journalists who worked hard to bring unbiased, informative reports to their audiences and to understand China,” the organization added, referring to all journalists expelled by China in recent years.

The expulsions followed a decision by the Trump administration to designate several Chinese media companies as de facto arms of the government in Beijing.

The ex-Bianconeri boss is taking in a year-long break from coaching but, amid talk of a move to the Premier League, admits he is eager to work again

Massimiliano Allegri has been linked with a possible move to Manchester United and the former Juventus boss is learning English as he prepares to return to management in 2020-21.

The 52-year-old is in the process of taking in a year-long break from coaching, having walked away from the reigning Serie A champions in the summer of 2019.

He is, however, counting down the days until he can step back into a dugout, with the highly-rated tactician preparing to open himself up to offers.

More teams

Allegri told AFP on his future plans: “In September I need to come back. If I don’t I’ll get too used to being on holiday and I’ll never work again!

“I still have three more months of holiday and that’s good for me.”

He added when quizzed on specific roles, with it suggested that he has been approached by Paris Saint-Germain to replace Thomas Tuchel: “I won’t speak about my future, because there isn’t anything to talk about for now, and also because it would be disrespectful to the other coaches to do so.”

Allegri does, however, admit to learning English for “personal reasons”.

Given that he has been mooted as a possible target for United, amid Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s struggles to establish consistency at Old Trafford, he may soon get the chance to put those linguistic skills to good use.

The ex-AC Milan coach is looking forward to pulling the strings once more, having already worked with some of the finest talent in the business.

“Football is a question of mentality,” he said of his philosophy.

“You need to be strong mentally and make sacrifices. [Cristiano] Ronaldo is an example of that.

“There are good players with lots of talent who stay at the same level because they don’t have the mental strength.”

Said qualities are also considered to be important for managers, with Jurgen Klopp picked out by Allegri as the cream of the current crop.

He said of a man who has guided his side to Champions League glory and the top of the Premier League table: “Right now, Klopp, since he left Borussia Dortmund for Liverpool, has made gigantic leaps forward.

“The great managers understand what kind of team they have in front of them, what kind of players they have, and to make them play as well as they can.”

Germany’s enormously expensive Energiewende green energy transformation is sputtering. The numbers tell the story.

Despite spending about €150 billion and years of political effort to scrap nuclear and fossil fuels and switch to renewables like wind and solar, Germany is expected to fall short on pretty much all its national and EU emission reduction and clean energy targets for 2020.

High power prices, continued coal dependency and a “poor CO2 emissions record” mean Germany is falling behind other countries in shifting away from fossil fuels, according to McKinsey’s new global Energy Transition Index. In Europe, 11 countries including Sweden, Austria, Denmark, the U.K. and France do better in cutting coal dependency and greening their energy systems.

Renewable power last year surged to 36 percent of the country’s electricity use, according to the Agora Energiewende think tank. But while renewables grew in the power sector, they didn’t make major strides in transport or heating, so they account for just over 13 percent of energy use.

“Germany as a pioneering country is on the brink of failure,” Patrick Graichen, the head of Agora Energiewende, said in a January assessment.

The European Commission’s latest country assessment, published earlier this month, found that Germany is at “considerable risk” of missing its national energy efficiency target of 20 percent by 2020. For now, it is still expected to meet its 2020 renewable energy target of 18 percent, although Germany’s renewable energy lobby warns the country might miss that goal too.

Germany is also set to fall short of its national climate target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2020. The new coalition government effectively abandoned that goal, instead focusing on meeting its 2030 target of reducing emissions by 55 percent. Germany is also expected to miss its emissions reduction target for sectors such as transport and buildings.

Missing EU targets could trigger hefty fines from the European Commission.

“Germany, as far as energy policy is concerned, is the biggest fraud globally,” said an EU official. “The public image of German energy policy is very green, but if you check the data, it’s a different story.”

The cost of green

For years Germany was one of the world’s energy transformation leaders. It was German cash that helped finance the technology revolution that has turned solar and wind into viable technologies that now generate increasingly cheap power.

But for consumers, that has come with a cost. Many households grapple with ever more expensive electricity prices, bearing the cost of shuttering nuclear power plants early and building up renewables.

“Many consumers can’t get rid of the feeling, ‘I support the Energiewende and pay a lot for it, but climate protection isn’t really advancing,'” Klaus Mueller, head of the German consumer lobby Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband told German radio earlier this month.

“An average four-person household has to pay more than double for power in 2017 compared to 2000,” Mueller said, adding that retail customers feel they’re bearing the brunt of the cost of transformation, which is added to their power bills, while big industrial users get off much more lightly.

The powerful German business lobby BDI is also unhappy, saying in a recent report that high electricity costs, delays in boosting the energy efficiency of buildings, and a “lack of vision” on transport are “worrying German industry.”

Transport’s diesel dilemma

There are a lot of reasons for Germany’s troubles.

Greenhouse gas emissions in Germany have stagnated for three years in a row, rather than falling. That’s largely to do with rising pollution caused by transportation, as well as a failure to reduce emissions in the buildings sector as energy consumption went up thanks to the economic recovery.

“While emissions in the electricity sector declined slightly in 2017 as a result of the reduction in coal-fired power production, CO2 emissions increased in the transport, building and industrial sectors, owing to greater oil and natural gas consumption,” said Agora Energiewende’s Graichen.

The problem with transport is likely to grow as the number of cars on the road increase. Souring opinions on diesel engines further weigh on emissions. Diesel cars emit less greenhouse gases than those powered by gasoline, which is why the country’s politicians and car industry saw diesel as a panacea to deal with global warming.

But the Dieselgate scandal hammered the reputation of diesel cars, and there is growing concern about the smog that diesel generates. As cities consider banning older diesel cars, sales have fallen off a cliff.

The share of diesel-fueled passenger cars in Germany was 39 percent last year, down from about 46 percent in 2016, according to the German type approval authority KBA. At the same time, average CO2 emissions rose slightly.

“Germany missed bringing electric cars on to roads,” said Claudia Kemfert, who runs the energy and transport section at the German Institute of Economic Research.

Coal’s continued grip

Despite the billions spent on wind and solar, the country is still hooked on coal, relying on it for almost 40 percent of its electricity. Coal provides the backup power needed when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun isn’t shining, something that will become even more crucial when the last nuclear plants close in 2022.

“In order to have an energy transition, you have to build up renewable energies, but then you also have to reduce coal, step-by-step,” Kemfert said. “That happened too late in Germany.”

Coal is still politically powerful, employing thousands, especially in economically strapped regions in eastern Germany.

Its continued grip helped torpedo the first round of coalition talks late last year. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives were unable to strike a deal with the Greens and the liberal Free Democratic Party after the liberals balked at a coal phaseout.

Turning from coal to cleaner natural gas as a backup power source also creates problems — this time with the neighbors. Getting access to Russian gas is a key reason for Germany’s support for the Nord Stream pipeline running from Russia under the Baltic Sea. But for much of Central Europe, the planned Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a geopolitical weapon for Moscow to dominate its old empire.

Missing links

A lot of Germany’s renewable power, especially powerful offshore wind, is generated in the north of the country. The difficulty is getting that electricity to industrial regions in the south like Bavaria.

For years Germany annoyed neighbors like the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland by sending surges of electricity through their networks. They’ve now taken short-term measures to reduce the disruptions until the necessary transmission links are built. The operators’ grid infrastructure plan foresees up to 4,000 additional kilometers of transmission lines by 2030.

It’s clear that an upgrade is needed. Transmission system operator Tennet last year spent nearly €1 billion to stabilize the German electricity network, more than in the previous two years.

But domestic opposition is making it difficult for Germany to build its own north-south and other new interconnectors. The project has faced delays as people battle the idea of ugly high-voltage power lines besmirching pretty landscapes. Now much of the interconnector is due to run underground, ramping up costs.

Germany’s energy lobby BDEW lashed out at local opposition, calling it “totally counterproductive” and warning it risks driving up costs and undermining the Energiewende.

Future targets

The new government is going to have to figure out how to get the green transformation back on track.

Despite the country’s troubles, government and industry promise that Germany will eventually go green.

The new coalition government has vowed to boost the share of renewable power to 65 percent by 2030, from the previously agreed 50 percent.

Peter Altmaier, the new energy minister and a member of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, has promised to make the “expansion of the grid a matter for the boss.” He also said power prices for mid-sized businesses will fall.

Volkswagen’s recent pledge to spend €20 billion on battery contracts and to begin making electric cars at 16 sites worldwide shows the car industry is taking steps to shift its business model — which could help secure a long-term drop in Germany’s transport emissions.

Proponents of a swift coal exit, however, shouldn’t hold their breath. Altmaier also said that ending coal power won’t “happen suddenly and abruptly, but step-by-step over several decades.”

Il y a comme du rapprochement dans l’air entre Justin Bieber et Selena Gomez. L’ancien baby couple fricoterait de nouveau ensemble comme ont pu le constater les invités qui se trouvaient au Bootsy Bellows, à Los Angeles lors de l’anniversaire d’Alfredo Flores, un ami de Justin.

Justin Bieber avait annoncé la tendance sur les réseaux sociaux ces derniers mois. Le 3 mars, il postait une photo de Selena Gomez sur Instagram avec comme légende «Most elegant princess in the world» (la plus élégante princesse du monde). Le 11 juin, il publiait une photo du temps de leur ancienne love-story en écrivant «Notre amour est inconditionnel». Ces deux posts n’étaient pas anodins. Sur le plateau de Good Morning America, Selena Gomez avait elle aussi fait part de son attachement à son Justin. « Lui et moi avons eu une telle histoire ensemble, confiait-elle.

Hier meilleurs amis, aujourd’hui impossible de les mettre dans la même pièce. Alors qu’ils se déchiraient l’été dernier, Perez Hilton s’exprime cette semaine sur Lady Gaga, une chanteuse qu’il chérissait.

Bien avant son succès avec son album The Fame, Lady Gaga était ardemment soutenue par un certain Perez Hilton. À coups d’articles sur son site internet, de tweets et de messages sur Facebook, le célèbre bloggeur n’hésitait pas à apporter tout son soutien à l’artiste new yorkaise. Les deux avaient même fini par tisser de beaux liens d’amitié. Malheureusement, les relations se sont envenimées l’année dernière. Tout a commencé lors d’une interview en Australie durant laquelle Gaga s’est sentie “harcelée”. Ensuite, il y a eu l’épisode du déménagement de Perez Hilton. Énervée à l’idée que Perez Hilton puisse s’installer dans le même immeuble qu’elle a New York, Lady Gaga avait laissé exploser sa colère sur Twitter. “Tu es malade de vouloir louer un appartement dans mon immeuble juste pour m’espionner”, écrivait la Mother Monster sur le réseau social. Des propos qui avaient même poussé ses fans à menacer de mort Perez Hilton et son fils, qui porte d’ailleurs son nom, Mario Armando Lavandeira III.

Invivté sur le plateau de l’émission australienne Mornings, Perez Hilton est revenu sur ses différends avec l’interprète de Born This Way. “En fait, tout est arrivé l’été 2011. Nous étions ici en Australie et Lady Gaga est arrivée assez éméchée. Elle agissait bizarrement”, confie t-il. L’homme à la plume caustique a ensuite expliqué qu’elle s’est énervée et s’est sentie “trahie” à cause d’une question qui portait sur son titre Judas et sur son petit ami Taylor Kinney. “Elle est entrée dans une colère surprenante. Le fait que je mentionne son boyfriend l’a rendue folle. Elle a coupé court à l’interview”.

Perez Hilton a insisté sur le fait que l’état d’ébriété de la popstar scandaleuse n’avait rien à y voir : “Je pense que la célébrité lui est montée à la tête. À l’époque, son album Fame Monster, le second, marchait du tonnerre. La notoriété peut être une drogue mortelle et endommager la personnalité”.

Quant au fait de renouer avec elle, Perez Hilton n’y voit “aucun intérêt”. “Elle est devenue une caricature de sa propre personne. Du personnage qu’elle a inventé. Au lieu d’une artiste, elle est devenue une espèce de farce, un figure de dessin animé qui ne plaît plus aux gens au final”. Dur le Perez !

Habitués de Wimbledon depuis toujours, la princesse Kate et le prince William n’ont pas fait l’impasse, cette année encore, sur le célèbre tournoi de tennis. Place à l’émotion pour le match du jour.

Vous les connaissez courtois et réservés? Kate et William peuvent être nerveux et arbitraires. Assis au premier rang du cour central de Wimbledon, le couple princier a offert une véritable démonstration de sa fougue de supporters cet après-midi au match d’Andy Murfay et du Bulgare Grigor Dimitrov. Après bien des rebondissements, l’Anglais, victorieux à Wimbledon l’an passé, s’est fait sortir par son adversaire.

Le rythme tendu de la rencontre est venu a bout de la naturelle sérénité de Kate et William. La princesse a vécu le match comme si elle se trouvait sur le gazon, au rytme de grimaces et grandes inspirations. Derrière une paire de lunettes Wayfarer de chez Ray-Ban, Kate a bien essayé de masquer sa déception face à la défaite du champion britannique mais rien n’y fait. Seuls les mots doux de son époux William l’ont apaisée. Pourtant le prince, lui aussi pris par l’échange effréné des deux tennismen, a pris sa tête entre ses pour cacher son désarroi. Mais avec le flegme britannique, le papa du prince Georges, a pris l’échec de son camp avec fatalisme.

Une fois de plus, la princesse Kate avait choisi pour cette sortie de recycler l’une de ses robes. La charmante petite toilette blanche ajourée, déjà portée lors de son voyage officiel en Australie est issue du vestiaire de la griffe Zimmerman.
