Prince Harry's former car can be yours for a mere £71KWho wouldn't want to own a vehicle that Harry and Meghan have driven around in?  And for a mere £71K ($92K), you can be the proud owner of the Duke of Sussex's former Audi RS6 Avant. Bargain! SEE ALSO: People are baffled by the number of water bottles Harry and Meghan were given in Ireland Harry "only owned the Audi RS6 for a year," according to Auto Trader, which is selling the car. Harry reportedly drove Meghan to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception in the car back in May 2017.  Image: autotraderFor those who have a bit of spare dosh lying around, the car also happens to have only racked up 4,500 miles. It also features £11,330 ($14,728) worth of extras, like privacy glass and a panoramic sunroof. Fancy! "Prince Harry and Meghan tied the knot less than six months ago and now Harry is putting his 17 reg, low mileage Audi up for sale — you can't help but wonder if it's because he is in the market for something bigger," Erin Baker, Auto Trader's editorial director, told Mashable. "Are we about to hear the pitter patter of tiny, royal feet?" Better start saving those pennies, people!

Posted: 04 Aug 2018 01:38 PM PDT

Scattered protests in Iran as U.S. sanctions loomSporadic protests broke out in several cities in Iran for a fifth night on Saturday, a day after demonstrators attacked a Shi'ite seminary, according to Iranian news agencies and social media, as Iranians brace for a return of U.S. sanctions. Hundreds rallied in cities including Tehran, Karaj, Shiraz, and Qom, according to videos posted on social media, to protest against high inflation caused in part by a collapse in the rial currency over fears of the reimposition of crippling sanctions on Aug. 7. In May, the United States pulled out of a 2015 deal between world powers and Tehran under which international sanctions were lifted in return for curbs on its nuclear program.
