Bus driver who hit and killed man outside RAC Arena will plead guilty
A Transperth bus driver who hit and killed 45-year-old father Praveen Matcha as he crossed the road outside RAC Arena last month has told a Perth court he will plead guilty and be sentenced next week. The Indian-born man known only as Rajiv, 37, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Friday for the first time to face two charges of careless driving causing death, grievous bodily harm or bodily harm over Matcha's death and injuries to a second person. Rajiv's lawyer Katherine Dowling told the court her client was ready to be sentenced but understood prosecutors and the magistrate needed to see footage of the incident caught by the bus' cameras. The footage was described in court as 'quite shocking'. The bus was turning onto Milligan Street from Wellington Street around 6.15pm on June 20 when it hit Matcha, pinning him under the vehicle. He died at the scene. Friends described him as the 'light in every room, known for his infectious smile, laughter, and the way he always encouraged us to be more and achieve more.' 'Whether you've known him for 15 years, nine months or ten days, you know how deeply he cared for us,' they said.

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands reveals sassy phone case as she poses for sweet family photo with the Dutch royals
Princess Alexia of the Netherlands showed that being second in line to the throne doesn't stop her from following Gen Z trends, when she was snapped clutching her mobile phone with a sticker branding her a 'Matcha Princess' on the cover. Matcha, a type of powdered green tea processed from shade-grown tea leaves, is hugely popular among young people thanks to its purported ability to to provide energy without the jitters associated with coffee. And Alexia appears to be among those who enjoy the fashionable beverage. The 20-year-old's love of matcha was revealed while she was attending the graduation ceremony of her sister Princess Amalia, 21, in Amsterdam. A photograph from the event shows Queen Maxima, 54, King Willem-Alexander, 58, his mother Princess Beatrix, 86, and Princess Ariane, 18, as the family celebrated the graduation of Princess Amalia in Amsterdam on Monday. Alexia looked chic at the event, donning a white shirt which was half-tucked into a black maxi skirt. Meanwhile, Amalia - who is also known as the Princess of Orange - wore an off the shoulder maroon frock as she participated in the Graduation Ceremony of the Bachelor of Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE). Due to breaking her arm last month, the royal was granted a postponement for one subject. After successfully completing this course, she will be able to receive her bachelor's degree for PPLE. According to the Royal Family's website, the heir's final thesis is titled Beyond Disclosure: Bridging the Gap Between the Artificial Intelligence Act and the Charter of Fundamental Rights with Deepfaked Bodies and 'concerns an investigation into the tension between European fundamental rights and AI legislation'. When she completes her final subject, she will receive her bachelor's degree for PPLE, before starting a bachelor's degree in Dutch Law, also at the University of Amsterdam in the new academic year. Amalia, 21, broke her upper arm in a fall from her horse on June 10. She was operated on that day at UMC Utrecht, with the royal website announcing that the surgery 'went well'. Her studies weren't the only commitment that was affected following the accident: the family's annual Summer portrait session was also postponed as result. Originally due to take place on June 12, the session at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague was pushed to June 30. Despite the delay, when the portraits were released, the family appeared in high spirits in the photos, posing happily in the picturesque setting alongside their family dog Mambo. Queen Maxima looked typically stylish in the photo set, donning a £1,050 blue and white Zimmermann 'Wylie' belted cotton midi dress which she paired with £685 ivory Aquazzura Kahlo espadrille wedges. She was seen sporting her Olympia Babylonia infinity cabochon hoops earrings and holding her Tom Ford scarlet sunglasses. Meanwhile, Amalia, channelled her mother's fashion with flair as she posed in a colourful £250 ROTATE Birger Christensen top paired with white jeans. She opted for casual footwear, donning the £110 Addias Handball Spezial trainers in collegiate green as she also held onto her £400 Celine triomphe sunglasses. Princess Ariane, 18, opted for a business-chic ensemble, donning £485 beige black striped Max Mara linen trousers with a matching £775 waistcoat, which she wore unbuttoned, with a simple black top underneath. And Alexia looked dazzling in a £115 green Cos open-back cotton maxi dress which she paired with her £124 Ibeliv mini raffia cocktail bag. Like her older sister Amalia, she decided to opt for espadrilles from Zara, which cost under £50 and accessorised with her Ariane's Bodes & Bode gold heart earrings and Rosa de la Cruz gold smile charm necklace. As ever, King Willem-Alexander looked dapper in a grey blazer paired with a crisp white shirt and navy trousers, complete with brown suede boots.
