Royal Grammar School Guildford Qatar Class of 2025 celebrates graduation ceremony
The event brought together students, families, faculty, and guests to mark a significant milestone, honoring the achievements of students poised to embark on their higher academic journeys including pursuing degrees in engineering, medicine, business, and military services both in Qatar and abroad.
'In a world that often prizes certainty and quick answers, your willingness to stay curious, to try, and to sometimes fail, has been your true success. This kind of courage will serve you far beyond today, because the future you are stepping into demands not perfection, but resilience and authenticity,' Mr David Keery, Head of Secondary School.
'Graduation isn't just an ending — it's a beginning. As you walk across this stage, you're stepping into a world that needs your creativity, your compassion, and your commitment to making a difference. Don't be afraid to dream boldly, be kind, and stand up for what's right,' Mrs Fiona Scott, Principal of RGSGQ.
A highlight of the evening was the special recognition of students who demonstrated exceptional dedication and achievement during their time at RGSGQ. Mohammed Abdelhakim Al Yafei received the Award for Arabic Reading and Writing, Bana Nasser R. A. Al-Nuaimi was recognised with the AS Graduate of Merit, the Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Prefect Programme was given to Hissa Al Naemi, and Noor Sultan Al-Jabor received the Principal's Award.
The ceremony was filled with touching anecdotes and messages, and the pride of the RGSGQ community that has watched its students grow into confident and capable young adults. RGSGQ congratulates its Class of 2025 and looks forward to watching their impact on the world. As Mrs. Scott reminded them, 'Always remember you are an RGS graduate. Be bold. Be brave. And most importantly, be true to yourself.'

Woman Says She's Done Hosting Friends Who Treat Her Home Like a Free Hotel, Saying the Friendship Feels 'One-Sided'
From rewatching tennis matches to skipping shared meals, one woman says her husband's friends have turned hospitality into entitlement A woman turns to the Reddit community for advice following repeated visits from her husband's best friend and his wife, who have left her feeling frustrated, used and ignored in her own home. What started as occasional visits has begun to feel like hosting entitled guests who treat their apartment like a free hotel rather than a place to connect with friends. 'They live in a smaller city and come to ours (a big metro) regularly for personal errands, events, or work and almost always stay with us,' she writes in her post. 'While it's framed as 'visiting us,' it pretty much never feels like they're here for us.' She explains that their latest visit revolved entirely around a tennis match, with the couple arriving Sunday evening, attending the event Monday, and working remotely from her home on Tuesday before heading out. After the match, things took a turn when the wife took over the living room to rewatch part of the game. 'She put it on our TV and took over the living room,' the woman says. 'They know my husband and I aren't into tennis, so it felt awkward.' She describes sitting with her back to the TV, trying to talk with her husband, who seemed equally annoyed by the situation. Dinner that night was slightly better, and she appreciated that they helped clean up. But the feeling of being sidelined in her own space lingered. 'Once the match was done, we finally got to talk a bit and then had dinner,' she adds, trying to find at least one silver lining in the evening. The next day brought another layer of discomfort as the visiting couple worked remotely from their home without offering help. 'My husband was running around making breakfast and hadn't even gotten to his own work by 11 a.m.,' she writes. 'Neither of them offered to pitch in.' The wife eventually said, 'Don't worry, we'll order our food,' but the gesture turned out to be self-serving. 'They did, but only for themselves,' the woman shares. 'They didn't ask if we wanted anything.' This marked their second stay in a single month, each time including multiple meals in the host couple's home without any shared effort or consideration. To top things off, just before they left, the husband's friend made an additional request that the woman found especially ironic. 'Right before leaving, the friend asked my husband to pack some home food for his wife as she was feeling sick,' she says. 'Of course, my husband did not refuse but it seemed so ironic.' She notes that the wife is newly pregnant, but the continued expectation for favors felt over the line. The final straw came when both the friend and his wife separately asked to stay again, even though the woman's parents were about to visit from abroad. Thankfully, her husband finally stood firm. 'My husband drew a boundary and said no,' she says. 'I'm frustrated with how one-sided this friendship has become,' she confesses. 'My husband has been [very] generous although he's starting to see through it himself.' The woman makes it clear that what once may have been casual generosity has turned into a situation where they're being taken advantage of. In a follow-up note, the woman reveals that this isn't the first time the wife has made her feel uncomfortable or small. 'The one-off time when we could not host them, the wife made sure to tell me how much they spent on a hotel,' she shares. 'I'm not sure if she was trying to make me feel guilty but I remember feeling small.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She also recounts a previous vacation with the couple that left her with more hurt feelings. 'I used her body wash (without her consent because I forgot to carry mine and it was literally there in the bathroom), she threw shade at me,' she writes. 'It's crazy to think you go out of your way for people and they behave so disrespectfully.' Now, she's choosing to draw the line for her own peace of mind. 'I have now decided that if my husband wants to see his friend, he can do so by making a separate plan with him,' she says. 'I don't want any part in this.'

Real Madrid superstar's demand that is stalling renewal negotiations
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr.'s future remains a subject of ongoing speculation, despite having two years left on his current contract. The 25-year-old superstar remains a target for Saudi Arabia, but has always maintained that he intends to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu and continue making history. However, his words have not translated into actions as talks to extend his contract have stalled, and there is currently no agreement in sight. Renewal bonus at the centre of the dispute There has been much speculation about the reasons behind the stalled negotiations, but the reality is that neither Florentino Perez nor Jose Angel Sanchez are pleased with Vinicius' demand for a renewal bonus, as per reports relayed by Defensa Central. Renewal talks have come to a halt. (Photo by) As per the update, Vinicius is asking for a salary package of €30 million to place him on the same wage tier as Kylian Mbappe, who received a signing bonus because his transfer did not cost Madrid anything. Real Madrid president Perez does not agree with the idea of paying a renewal bonus to a player already on the club's payroll. However, he is offering the Brazilian attacker the maximum salary currently paid by the club. The report further states that Real Madrid plan to have a face-to-face conversation with Vinicius upon his return from holiday. The aim is to convince him that his future lies at the Santiago Bernabeu, but also to stress that his performance must improve, ideally returning to the level he showed during the 2023/2024 season.

Man arrested after death of teenager in suspected hit-and-run
A man has been arrested after the death of a teenager in a suspected hit-and-run. Bailey Chadwick, 19, was walking home after a night at work in a local pub, then seeing friends in Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, when he was fatally injured on the B6265 in the early hours of Sunday. North Yorkshire Police said a man in his 20s was arrested on Thursday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He is in police custody. A force spokesperson said the public should not speculate on social media in order to avoid prejudicing any potential future court proceedings. Mr Chadwick was struck by a vehicle between 1.44am and 3.10am on Sunday as he walked home. Speaking close to the scene of the collision near the village of Glasshouses earlier this week, the police officer in charge of the investigation said Mr Chadwick had been due to go travelling to Thailand and had 'a lifetime of adventures ahead of him'. His mother Dayle Knights said: 'No words can express how absolutely devastated we are. 'Bailey was just a normal, happy, outgoing 19-year-old, who had his whole life ahead of him.' The Royal Oak pub where Bailey worked said in a social media tribute: 'The most loveable, caring, trustworthy, happy, smiley, beautiful young man we have ever had the honour of working with. A true gentlemen and friend.'
