UK Tories pledge £10bn 'Britannia Dome' air defense; King declines to fund Andrew's legal fight

The UK Conservative Party has pledged £10 billion for a UK-wide 'Britannia Dome' air defense system, echoing Israel's Iron Dome concept. Separately, the King has reportedly declined to fund Prince Andrew's legal costs in a civil case, marking a notable shift in royal financial support. The defense pledge signals a major policy commitment ahead of elections, while the royal funding decision is a domestic political development with limited market impact.
