Now, Google lets users customise Top Stories with their preferred websites
Google is testing a Labs feature that lets users customise their Top Stories feed by selecting favourite websites, starting in the US and India New Delhi Google has announced that it is rolling out a new experiment in Search Labs called Preferred Sources, allowing users to prioritise specific websites in the Top Stories section of Search results. Available in English for users in India and the US, this feature gives individuals more control over the news sources they frequently see, provided those sites are actively publishing new content. Once opted in, users can tap a star icon next to the 'Top Stories' header to pick their preferred websites. When relevant, updates from those sites will start appearing more often in your Top Stories section, alongside regular algorithm-selected content. These chosen sources will also be clearly labelled, and in some cases, users may see a separate 'From your sources' carousel below the main Top Stories section. What else is new in Google Search In addition to Preferred Sources, Google also outlined a handful of other features that aim to make Search more relevant and tailored to your needs, all of which can be managed through personalisation settings. Automatic content refresh: If you have searched a topic before, Google will now automatically show you new content since your last visit in sections like Top Stories or What People Are Saying. Your recent searches may also be flagged with a 'New update' tag to indicate fresh results. Quicker access to frequent sites: When personalisation is turned on, Search will promote websites you visit often higher in your results, if relevant to your query. Smarter sports tracking in Discover: Sports fans can choose their favourite teams, and Discover will show live scores, game highlights, and more. Personalised shopping: Search will let you save your favourite fashion styles during apparel or accessory searches, and Google Shopping will deliver a customised feed of products and deals based on your selected interests. Users can manage or disable all personalisation features at any time through their Google account settings.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video celebrating Prince William and Princess Kate as an "it couple" in their early relationship in the 2000s has gone viral on TikTok. The Prince and Princess of Wales are firmly established as the most popular royal couple in the hearts of Brits, according to years' worth of polling by YouGov. However, once they were the bright new hope for the monarchy following the break-up of William's parents', the now-King Charles III and Princess Diana who was killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.

Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images What To Know A TikTok video celebrating their early relationship was liked more than 40,000 times and viewed more than 390,000 times since it was posted on Sunday. The edit includes a range of clips from the period before they were married and was captioned: "POV: you both were the IT couple in the 2000s." The video begins with footage of William and Kate's 2005 graduation from the University of St Andrews, where they met. The name "William Wales" can be heard as the prince was called up to receive his undergraduate degree. A later clip shows William leading Kate through the corridors of the Central Flying School at Royal Air Force Cranwell, where he got his RAF wings on April 11, 2008. Another showed Prince William in 2007 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst "Sovereign's Parade," the equivalent of a graduation for cadets who have become commissioned officers. Royal author Robert Jobson shed light on this era in the couple's relationship in his book Catherine: A Biography. "In William's company, she danced at the trendiest clubs and enjoyed the VIP treatment that came with dating a prince," he wrote. "Any intrusive paparazzi were swiftly dealt with by his armed Scotland Yard protection officers, ensuring minimal fuss. It could have turned the heads of some young women, but Catherine was unfazed by the trappings of royalty. "Astute and discerning, she remained steadfast, unaffected by the apparent glamour. She loved William for who he was, not his royal rank. "Her grounded nature and unaffected demeanour at this time stood as a testament to her resilience and authenticity in the face of intensified media scrutiny." What People Are Saying One fan replied to the TikTok post, "best decision William made in his life!" while another wrote: "They are destine to each other, so glad she's the future queen, very respectful." "Prince's Catherine love in her eyes for her husband she so proud of her husband Prince William the future king trust him future queen Catherine understands thank you both the perfect couple."
