> Meghan Markle will today make a bold declaration of independence by walking into St george’s Chapel alone for her wedding to Prince harry.
> The avowed feminist will be accompanied only for the second half of her walk down the aisle, with Prince Charles stepping in at the 11th hour to replace her father.
> In a further break with tradition, Charles will not formally give her away. Instead, he will simply ‘accompany’ her to the altar.
> Last night US-born Miss Markle, 36, and her mother Doria Ragland, 61, arrived at the Cliveden house hotel, brimming with happiness and excitement. asked how she felt, she beamed: ‘ Wonderful, thank you.’

> After the week they’ve had, it’s too fitting that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are doing this thing in Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel, the official spiritual home to the Order of the Garter . The order was founded after the perceived embarrassment and shaming of a woman at court in 1348, through no fault of her own.
> Legend has it (probably apocryphally) that Edward III’s dance partner accidentally flashed her garter, to various looks askance, prompting Edward to take the garter upon himself and challenge the mockers with what would become his new order’s motto: “Honi soit qui mal y pense”. Shame on him who thinks badly of this. “Those who laugh at

> Lloyds boss Antonio Horta-Osorio’s pay is under scrutiny
> Lloyds faces shareholder anger over chief’s pay
> Lloyds is facing the prospect of a shareholder rebellion after giving boss Antonio Horta-Osorio a bumper pay packet that is nearly 100 times the average worker’s. Advisory group Institutional Shareholders Services (ISS) has recommended a vote against the banking group’s remuneration report, highlighting discrepancies between “pay and relative performance”. It turned attention to an “unduly complex” bonus structure and said there is a “lack of clarity in the company’s public disclosures on how bonus outcomes are actually determined”.

> The competition watchdog is encouraging rivals, suppliers and industry bodies to have their say over the £7.3bn takeover of Asda by supermarket giant Sainsbury’s.
> The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it wanted initial thoughts on the impact of the deal and whether anyone thought it would lessen competition ahead of its formal investigation.
> The tie-up between the two grocers, at present the UK’s second and third-biggest, would create a supermarket giant and leapfrog front runner Tesco. The enlarged business would have nearly 3,000 stores – including Argos, bought by Sainsbury’s in 2016 – with sales of £51bn. Estimated cost savings and benefits will be at least £500m.

> MOTHERCARE has reinstated its ousted chief executive and put 800 jobs at risk through plans to axe 50 stores, as the troubled baby chain outlined a far-reaching rescue package.
> The retailer will bring Mark Newton-Jones – who was sacked in April – back as chief executive, while accelerating its store closure programme and pulling together £113.5m of funds to revive the business in a major refinancing.
> Efforts to bring down its 137-strong UK store estate to around 87 stores and secure rent reductions on a further 21 sites will be pursued through a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) insolvency process. The appointment of Clive Whiley as interim executive chairman last month cleared the way for Mr Newton-Jones to make a surprise return. The shake-up means David Wood will step aside as chief executive to take up a new role as group managing director of the firm.

> By Emma Healey Viking, 336pp, £12.99
> In Whistle In The Dark, Emma Healey has produced an atmospheric novel which twists the happily-ever-after tale of a family being reunited with their missing teenage daughter into a gripping psychological thriller. The action is split between the family home and the Peak District, where the incident occurred, with 15-year-old Lana appearing bruised and confused after going missing for four days and unable to tell anyone where she was. The claustrophobic relationship between severely depressed Lana and her mum Jen is deftly drawn as the mystery of the teenager’s disappearance deepens. Exploring the supernatural, mental health, family relationships and teenage life in the age of social media, suspense is maintained throughout as Jen hunts down various possible explanations, and the eventual revelation packs an emotional punch.
