An order blunder by a shop on the Orkney island of Sanday has left it with hundreds of Easter eggs - far more than the population.
Only 80 were needed, but 80 cases were mistakenly ordered by Sinclair General Stores.
Former President Donald Trump warned Tuesday in an interview with British television that if he is elected in November, Prince Harry may face deportation from the US if he is found to have lied about his drug use on his visa paperwork.
The Duke of Sussex’s immigration status has become the subject of a legal battle after Harry admitted to taking illegal drugs in his memoir, “Spare,” which was released last year.
GB News presenter Nigel Farage asked Trump, 77, whether Harry, 39, should have “special privileges” if he is discovered to have lied on his application for a US visa.
“No,” Trump answered. “We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they’ll have to take appropriate action.”

These black bears wasted no time clambering on to a swan pedalo when it appeared in their enclosure at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire.
Keeper Tommy Babbington added the quirky paddle boat to keep the animals entertained after a large pool of water formed at the site during the recent wet weather.
"It was great fun for visitors to see them climb on board," he said.
The black bear is the most common bear in the forests of North America - where it is unlikely they are gifted giant plastic watercraft.
They can grow up to 1.9m (6ft 3in) long and weigh up to 300kg (47 stone).
"We love devising new ways to provide food, scent and habitat enrichment that stimulates their natural foraging behaviours," added Mr Babbington.
"There's been so much wet weather this year that a new mini lake has formed in the black bears' drive-through, so we had the idea of turning this into interesting enrichment for them.
"The sleuth of bears was immediately intrigued by their new neighbour and wasted no time in investigating the swan paddle boat."

The former actor Laurence Fox will not be a candidate at the London mayoral elections after failing to fill in the nomination forms correctly.
London Elects, which administers the mayoral and London Assembly elections, said the Reclaim party leader had submitted the papers shortly before the deadline on Wednesday, which were subsequently found to contain errors.
Fox, who last acted on screens in a 2022 film distributed by the far-right website Breitbart, is understood to have failed to provide enough signatures of support in two London boroughs, while three supporters from other boroughs could not be found in records.
Fox, who has been the leader of the rightwing populist Reclaim party since 2020, claimed on X in since-deleted posts that the actions were the result of “political corruption”. In response, London Elects issued a lengthy rebuttal.
London Elects said: “The Reclaim party candidate’s representatives met with London Elects for the first time on Tuesday 26 March, less than 24 hours before the close of the nominations deadline. At that time, the paperwork was incomplete.
“Mr Fox’s representatives were advised to ensure that completed forms were submitted well before the Wednesday 4pm statutory deadline. The paperwork was submitted very shortly before 4pm.
“Upon inspection, the nomination forms contained errors which – the deadline having passed – were too late for Mr Fox’s team to correct. The conclusion of London Elects was that the requirements of the nomination process were not completed by the deadline.
“The Greater London Returning Officer is bound by electoral law and has no ability to allow anything other than fully compliant nominations, submitted by the deadline, to stand.”

Organisers of a children's Easter egg hunt in a graveyard have scrapped the plans after an online backlash.
Friends of Wrexham Cemetery (FWC) said it had made an "emergency decision" to cancel the event "to safeguard the young people" due to take part.
One person posted online that she was "disgusted" because her baby daughter was buried at the cemetery.
FWC earlier said the aim was to "actively encourage" people to visit.
Following initial complaints, FWC said the event was a great way of getting young people "interested in local genealogy".
It called on those protesting to remember that other former cemeteries in the area were now being used as playgrounds.
"The section that will be used is occupied by the dead from a century ago and will not affect any recent internments," FWC said.
However, the criticism continued, with one person saying she had family members buried there and "certainly would not want kids running over my graves".
Another said a graveyard was "not an outdoor museum" but "sacred" ground where people go to visit their loved ones.
"What's next, a Santa's grotto?" they asked.
They were thinking about what's on the earth, not about what's in!What on earth were they thinking:
