4. Royal ruling: A High Court judge in London rejected Prince Harry's assertion that the British government exceeded its authority when it denied him the right to hire police to provide security in the U.K.

5. Eight-year check in: Canadians are split in their opinions on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a new national poll, with two in five Canadians saying they approve of the prime minister, while slightly more than half answered that they disapprove.
