The TelegraphPrincess Eugenie promises to look after 'Granny' in heartfelt tribute to Prince Philip
Princess Eugenie has issued a heartfelt tribute to her "dearest Grandpa", promising to look after "Granny" in his absence. The Queen's granddaughter posted the touching eulogy on Instagram, remembering how the Duke of Edinburgh had taught her to cook and paint. The 31-year-old, the younger of the Duke and Duchess of York's two daughters, wrote: "We all miss you. You would be so touched by all the tributes that have been shared with me the past few days." She also posted two images of herself and Prince Philip – one with her grandfather patting her on the head as a child and the other of her alongside the Duke and her sister Princess Beatrice at the Epsom Derby in June 2012. "People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them," she added. "I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read. I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the Navy."

Why Trump's insistent dominance of the Republican Party could be a real 'gift' to Biden
President Biden isn't exactly coated in political Teflon, but he's "well regarded by voters" and "even Donald Trump, the Triumph the Insult Comic Dog of electoral politics, has had troubles landing a punch," Sam Stein writes at Tuesday's Politico Nightly. "His latest nickname for the president — 'Saintly Joe Biden' — was debuted to donors over the weekend. It was meant as derisive … we think." But the bigger concern for the Republican Party, and a future Trump restoration campaign, is the lack of any real "grassroots movement emerging to confront the White House," Stein reports, noting that the Tea Party was already in full swing at this point in Barack Obama's presidency. "Biden’s perceived benignness — the difficulty in actually getting people to despise the guy" — is one reason, he argues, but the other big factor is Trump himself. Proto-Tea Partier former Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) and other Republicans told Politico that "a movement like the Tea Party emerges when people galvanize around ideas. When they galvanize around an individual, they're really just waiting for that individual to act or guide them. Put another way: While the Tea Party exploited a GOP leadership vacuum in 2009, there is a need for a vacuum in 2021." And "that may very well be the gift that Trump has given Biden," Stein said. "As the former president sits in Mar-a-Lago, plotting his next move, he has brought stasis to the Republican Party." Read more at Politico.

Biden proposes summit with Putin after Russia calls U.S. 'adversary' over Ukraine
WASHINGTON/MOSCOW (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden called on Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to reduce tensions stirred by a Russian military build-up on Ukraine's border and proposed a summit of the estranged leaders to tackle a raft of disputes. The White House and the Kremlin reported only the second conversation between the two since Biden took office in January, after Western officials urged Moscow to end the build-up and Russia, in words recalling the Cold War, said its "adversary" should keep U.S. warships well away from the Crimea region.
