The Sussexes Netflix deal is 'in better shape than ever before'
The Sussexes Netflix deal is 'in better shape than ever before'
I mentioned yesterday that I was more interested to hear what industry sources and trade papers have to say about the Duke and duchess of Sussex Spotify mess than I am in the hysterical and utterly unserious nonsense coming from the British media. The Hollywood Reporter has been doing a great job this week to bring down the heat around the Sussex/Spotify issue. They have put the story in a larger context, explaining what Spotify did wrong, what changes the company was making, and that there were many other high-profile individuals who left Spotify, but they didn't get the same...
I mentioned yesterday that I was more interested to hear what industry sources and trade papers have to say about the Duke and duchess of Sussex Spotify mess than I am in the hysterical and utterly unserious nonsense coming from the British media. The Hollywood Reporter has been doing a great job this week to bring down the heat around the Sussex/Spotify issue. They have put the story in a larger context, explaining what Spotify did wrong, what changes the company was making, and that there were many other high-profile individuals who left Spotify, but they didn't get the same attention as the Sussexes. Joe Pompeo, a VF journalist who covers the media/streamer beat, wrote an article in Vanity Fair entitled "Is there air coming out of Harry and Meghan’s content balloon?" His sources are from WME, Spotify, and Netflix. Not Camilla Tominey. Highlights: Meghan did she conduct interviews for Archetypes? A source with knowledge of the Archewell deal said Meghan conducted the interviews of all the main guests, such as the Mariah Careys, Mindy Kalings, and Mindys. The interviews of secondary voices in certain episodes were conducted by producers, which is a common practice. The Sussexes have pitched a number of other projects. I'm told Harry, Meghan, and their team pitched show concepts and acquisitions to Spotify, but they didn't go forward. I reported previously that the Obamas shared a similar frustration with Spotify before leaving for Audible. According to UK papers, the Sussexes Netflix contract is "unlikely" to be renewed. A source said that the feeling was that the lemon had been fully squeezed. The Sun US website reports that the $100 million deal with Netflix is unlikely to be renewed. A source said, "The lemon has been squeezed to the max." My source who is familiar with Archewell's deals says that the Netflix deal has never been better. Harry's Heart of Invictus, a documentary about the Sussexes, is scheduled for this summer. There are also "various other projects that have not been announced but that are being developed that are very exciting to all parties." WME is again on their side. To be fair to Harry, Meghan's haters are numerous and their schadenfreude runs deep. They're not negotiating contracts without competent representation. According to Variety, Meghan and Archewell Productions will be represented by WME as of April. The powerhouse talent agency will explore "film and TV production, brand partnerships,and overall business-building," with the Sussexes. WME's rep responded to the Spotify announcement by telling the Journal that Meghan is still developing content for Archetypes audiences on other platforms. (WME did not have anything to say.) The future of Brand Sussex. And yet, there is still the $100 million question: Does the public want more content about Harry and Meghan? Let alone content that's not about them? Marina Hyde's Tuesday column in The Guardian provided me with one possible answer. She wrote that "experience and ratings continue show that people are interested in watching the Sussexes complain about their life and treatment by the Royal Family." "That's the only genre where Meghan and Harry really pull in the eyes--and, given that they are literally all the people who work in it, feels like theirs." [From Vanity Fair] The Netflix deal has never been better. There are a number of projects that are in development, but have not yet been announced. All parties are excited. The past week has been a depressing one. There are so many "but what have we done for you lately" questions. The Sussexes produced a successful podcast, a Netflix hit docu-series, and a huge bestseller memoir. All of these projects were released within six months, during which time Harry's grandmother also passed away. It's... been... a long time. I'm looking forwards to Hea...

King Charles is understandably angry about Prince William's thunderous performance
King Charles is understandably angry about Prince William's thunderous performance
Prince William had a great weekend. In two ways, his office made sure to overshadow King Charles’s first Trooping the Colour Parade. William published two Father's Day pictures with his children and made sure that the photos were in the newspapers by Sunday. William also gave an exclusive interview with Roya Nikkhah of the Sunday Times. In the interview, William talked about his plans to house homeless people on Duchy land, and previewed a new big project that will be announced in the next few days/weeks.

Prince William had a great weekend. In two ways, his office made sure to overshadow King Charles’s first Trooping the Colour Parade. William published two Father's Day pictures with his children and made sure that the photos were in the newspapers by Sunday. William also gave an exclusive interview with Roya Nikkhah of the Sunday Times. In the interview, William talked about his plans to house homeless people on Duchy land, and previewed a new big project that will be announced in the next few days/weeks. As I said yesterday I can't wait to see what King Charles does about William stealing all the thunder. Well, it's begun already. Eden Confidential, a Mail column. The palace has been agitated by Prince William's decision, which coincided with his father's first King's Birthday Parade. The Prince spoke about his desire to "end" homelessness in the interview with The Sunday Times. He did not mention King Charles's efforts at providing social housing while he was the Duchy of Cornwall. William exacerbated tensions when he released a Father's Day photo of him and his children just in time for Sunday newspapers. A former senior palace official told me that the timing of the interview would have certainly raised eyebrows in Buckingham Palace. The interview and Father's Day photo have blown His Royal Highness off the front page on the weekend before his first King's Birthday Parade. It could have been better sequenced, especially since the Duchy's social-housing program is not being launched until a few months. The Royal Family has a difficult time dealing with media management. Prince Harry wrote in his controversial memoir Spare that he and William were limited to how many public appearances they could make. The Daily Mail William also "failed" to mention King Charles’ efforts to provide social accommodation when he was the Duchy of Cornwall? Most likely because... Charles was not known for providing free housing to the unhoused? Charles managed the Duchy as a real estate empire, which it is. It was not a charity. William's interview made it seem like the initiative would be launched within the next few weeks. Was it just a way to show that he was keen? Why did William do the interview if it's not until a few months? William knew he would overshadow his dad, just like Kate and the Chelsea Flower Show.

Duchess Sophie is a rising star within the royal family & they need her
Prince William and Duchess Of Edinburgh attended a Rhino Man screening on Tuesday night. It was a surprise to see the pair together. Sophie and Edward often attend events with William and Kate but this was the first time William and Sophie had done an event without their spouses. Both of them seemed so relaxed. Sophie looked like she was glowing and William's little fists were not clenched. He appeared to enjoy spending time with Sophie.

Prince William and Duchess Of Edinburgh attended a Rhino Man screening on Tuesday night. It was a surprise to see the pair together. Sophie and Edward often attend events with William and Kate but this was the first time William and Sophie had done an event without their spouses. Both of them seemed so relaxed. Sophie looked like she was glowing and William's little fists were not clenched. He appeared to enjoy spending time with Sophie. In my reporting, I said, "I can't WAIT for dozens of articles about how William and Sophie were the new 'power couple' of the royal family and how they should always be paired together for glitzy occasions." I was only half right. In the latest Daily Mail article, "The Royal Family’s New Star", the narrative is not "Wow, Peg is great with Sophie." It is "Sophie, who is amazing, is carrying the monarchy by herself." The Duchess is "indispensable" to Kate and William because of her "natural warmth and low key approach", according to royal experts. Her outing with Prince William proved her new status. Royal experts say that the Duchess enjoyed a rare engagement with Prince of Wales. It's a sign of how important Sophie is to The Royal Family. Royal experts say it's rare to see Prince Edward’s wife out with just the heir to Britain's throne, but that this is a sign of her improved position within The Firm. Richard Fitzwilliams, royal commentator, told FEMAIL that the engagement between the two was 'unusual', but highlighted Sophie as one of The Royal Family's hardest workers. William and Catherine are the most glamorous royal couple in the world, with a huge soft power influence. Sophie has established herself as an indispensable support for them. The royal expert added: "There is periodic media interest in what Sophie dresses, but she and Edward are not at the center of the storm. They prefer that. They are also crucial to the charitable work of the monarchy, which is its primary function. The event yesterday brought this to the forefront. She is similar to the Princess Anne in that she takes a low-key, discreet approach to her work. These trips have taken her to conflict zones such as South Sudan, Sierra Leone and other countries. Royal author Phil Dampier explained that Sophie is becoming a star in The Royal Family, and they really need her. Harry, Meghan, and Prince Andrew are no longer in the picture. The monarchy has been trimmed down to a point where it may be too slim. The King, the Queen and Princess Anne all have reached their 70s. Others like the Duke Kent are on the verge of retirement. Sophie is much more famous than Edward. She is warm and loves to go on walks. She is a quiet worker, like Anne. She has made several trips abroad. The author concluded that she has grown up a lot and being by William's sides is a sign of her new status. The Daily Mail It would have been great if the Windsors had not mistreated or abused a glamorous actress who was married into their family. Meghan could have spread her glamour throughout the family, modernizing this boring, staid and racist institution. You're spending all this time and effort trying to make fetch work. Since decades, no one is buying what the "new star", (lol), Sophie is selling. Even with all of that, I find the optics fascinating, especially since Kate and Edward were not present. Hm.

The Sussexes & Spotify split, 'Archetypes will likely go to another platform
The Sussexes & Spotify split, 'Archetypes will likely go to another platform
The Duke and Duchess signed a $20 million deal with Spotify in 2020. The only podcast Meghan and Harry produced last year was Meghan's Archetypes, a podcast that was hugely successful, reaching #1 on Spotify's Podcast charts, temporarily dethroning Spotify golden goose (anti-vaxxer) Joe Rogan. We've all been waiting for an announcement about a new season of Archetypes. But it seems we will have to wait longer because Spotify and the Sussexes have decided to part ways.

The Duke and Duchess signed a $20 million deal with Spotify in 2020. The only podcast Meghan and Harry produced last year was Meghan's Archetypes, a podcast that was hugely successful, reaching #1 on Spotify's Podcast charts, temporarily dethroning Spotify golden goose (anti-vaxxer) Joe Rogan. We've all been waiting for an announcement about a new season of Archetypes. But it seems we will have to wait longer because Spotify and the Sussexes have decided to part ways. The Wall Street Journal first reported this story, so we'll give you that report: According to sources familiar with the situation, the "Archetypes", a podcast by Meghan Markle on Spotify, will not be renewed for a new season. This is due to the company's recent overhaul of their podcasting strategy. The people who spoke said that the producers of the show that explored the labels that limit women have been informed that the second season will not be moving forward. This follows months of discussions about the possibility. Markle and Prince Harry completed only one project for Spotify Technology, after signing an overall $20 million deal in late 2020. People familiar with the situation said that the couple has not met the productivity standards required to receive full payment from the deal. This cancellation shows the continued correction of the podcast market. Although popular with listeners, it has been difficult for Spotify and its competitors to make this format profitable. The team behind Archetypes is proud of their podcast on Spotify. Meghan continues to create more content for Archetypes' audience on another platform," said a spokesperson for Archewell Productions, the media company owned by the couple. Markle has recently signed with the talent agency WME. A person with knowledge of the discussions confirmed that Archewell's content is being discussed for possible other outlets. Spotify laid off 200 employees last week, including many audio engineers. The company announced that it would be rethinking its podcasting strategy, which includes distributing shows on platforms other than Spotify. It will also focus more on providing creator tools for podcasters as opposed to creating original content. [From WSJ] Deadline described the news in the following way: "The Sussexes are no longer with Spotify." They also describe the "talks," between Archewell, Spotify and a second season for Archetypes. Deadline reports that the Sussexes are "rethinking" their deals in order to find "better homes and partnerships for their content." We've also heard that Archetypes may end up somewhere else, due to Meghan signing with WME. The Sussexes released a statement on Spotify a few hours after WSJ published its exclusive report. In a joint statement, Archewell Audio, the production company of Duke and Duchess Sussex and Spotify stated: "Spotify has mutually agreed to separate from Archewell Audio. We are proud of the series that we produced together." The Wall Street Journal quoted a representative of WME, the talent agent that signed the Duchess earlier this year. "The team behind Archetypes remains proud of the podcast created by Spotify." Meghan continues to create more content for Archetypes' audience on another platform. [From People] I think that Meghan and Harry have done nothing wrong. They were simply victims of the podcasting slump in general. This is more about Spotify business model rather than anything they did or didn't do. It's stupid for Spotify not to fight to retain them. Meghan's work with Archetypes, while she could have done much more with Spotify, was fantastic. The second season of Archetypes would have also been wonderful. Archetypes is likely to move from Audible to Amazon or other services. It's what I think. Photos by Instar, Archewell and S...

Brian Cox was miserable in LA. They pretend to be happy but are deeply unhappy.
Brian Cox was miserable in LA. They pretend to be happy but are deeply unhappy.
In recent weeks, Variety's Actors on Actors has been taking place for Emmy Season. The pairing of actors for their on-camera conversations is always a hot topic. The chemistry between Claire Danes, Kieran Culkin and their on-camera conversation was a little too good for me (he's so flirty). But sometimes the pairing of actors brings out the worst qualities in one another. Emily Blunt and Brian Cox didn't bring out the best of each other, I don't think.

In recent weeks, Variety's Actors on Actors has been taking place for Emmy Season. The pairing of actors for their on-camera conversations is always a hot topic. The chemistry between Claire Danes, Kieran Culkin and their on-camera conversation was a little too good for me (he's so flirty). But sometimes the pairing of actors brings out the worst qualities in one another. Emily Blunt and Brian Cox didn't bring out the best of each other, I don't think. I've started to believe that Brian Cox is a grumpy, old man who always seems to be accompanied by a dark shadow. Emily is usually a good friend, unless she talks about how she hates living in America and being a naturalized American. Here are some highlights of their Variety talk. BRIAN COX : The thing I like about English girls is that they are direct and don't talk nonsense. You are direct and to the point. The English girls are so funny. EMILY BlUNT: I miss it, now that I live in America. I miss the directness, the irreverence, and the attitude. COX: Here, they're a little bit Christian. They follow the so-called Christian bible, which I doubt. It's quite hypocritical. BLUNT : I found a little group of Brits around Brooklyn .... Do you enjoy living in Brooklyn? COX: Brooklyn has finally been the place I have felt most at home. It took me a while to feel comfortable in this country. As I said, I was living in Los Angeles when I ran out farmers markets. What will I do in Los Angeles now? Everyone is miserable. They may pretend to be happy, but their true feelings are deep-seated misery. ***** BLUNT: 'The Devil Wears Prada'! When that movie came out, it was like a huge shift in my life. COX: It was great. You are so lucky to have worked with one of the most famous screen actresses in history. Before I die, one of my dreams is to work with Meryl. BLUNT: Oh, don't say "snuff it"! You'll. She was amazing, and she was a little terrifying in that film. She claimed it was the first time she tried Method acting. Miranda made her miserable. COX: When I met her, I told her, "I didn't like you, because I was jealous." She asked, "What?" and I replied, "I didn't like you, because I wasn't that good." [From Variety] You see, Brooklyn is the only American city they have ever liked, because they detest the smug, humourless, hypocritical and indirect Americans, as well as their farmer's markets. You must love it when you see two immigrants ranting about their adopted country. Over the years, I have never understood why they both feel the need for them to live in America when they are going to belittle everyone here. Cox is free to move back home to Scotland. Blunt must insist that John Krasinski and his family move to England. Enough is enough. Sidenote: English people are not "direct". They speak and write with these absurd riddles and use their "codes". See this post on Instagram Variety (@variety), shared a post. Photos by Instar, Avalon Red. Instagram. Backgrid.

Kevin Costner tries to remove Christine Baumgartner and her family from their home
Kevin Costner tries to remove Christine Baumgartner and her family from their home
Christine Baumgartner divorced Kevin Costner at the beginning of May. They have been married for 19 years. They have three children, all under 18 years old. Costner was "blinded" by Christine's filing for divorce. "Sources close to Costner", however, suggested that Costner wanted to get back with Christine and forget about the divorce. Many rumors circulated about the reason Christine filed for divorce, but none of them came true. It's also possible that Costner has an excellent crisis management team.

Christine Baumgartner divorced Kevin Costner at the beginning of May. They have been married for 19 years. They have three children, all under 18 years old. Costner was "blinded" by Christine's filing for divorce. "Sources close to Costner", however, suggested that Costner wanted to get back with Christine and forget about the divorce. Many rumors circulated about the reason Christine filed for divorce, but none of them came true. It's also possible that Costner has an excellent crisis management team. After Costner lost his first divorce, it's said that he made Christine sign an extremely strict prenup. In the prenup, there is a clause that says, in case of divorce, Costner would be sole owner of all their homes and Christine had to leave all their residences. Guess who refuses to leave? Kevin Costner claims his estranged spouse Christine refuses to leave the house despite their prenuptial agreement. He says he has already given her over a million dollars to help her find a new home. Kevin claims that according to their prenuptial agreement, Christine was given 30 days to leave the house he owned when she filed for divorce in May. She has not yet left. Documents show that Kevin is now asking the court to remove her from the house, and she should not be allowed to remain in it... using her position to force Kevin to agree to "various financial requests." Kevin says he has already paid her $1.2 million as per the prenuptial agreement. He claims that the total amount of money he has spent has risen to $1.45million. She can now use this money to secure a new home. Documents show that he is even willing to contribute $30K per month as part of child support for a rental home and to pay another $10K to cover her moving expenses. Kevin, as we reported, insists that he owns their three homes. Their prenup, signed in 2004, stated specifically that she must vacate the home upon filing divorce. TMZ broke this story. Sources familiar with the situation told us that Christine's filing for divorce last month came as a shock to Kevin. They said it was a devastating move. [From TMZ] Methinks that this was one of many reasons Christine filed for divorce. You are going to spend 25+ years with someone and have 3 minor children, but then you will run to court in order to evict them from their family home, where they've been raising your kids for almost two decades. Please. Christine filed her tax return in early May. Costner, does he really expect her out of the home in six weeks? This is unreasonable, given the fact that Costner owns multiple homes. He's also probably not in Los Angeles at this time. This is petty, and vindictive. Avalon Red provided the photos.

Riley Keough paid Priscilla a 'one time lump sum' payment from the trust
Riley Keough paid Priscilla a 'one time lump sum' payment from the trust
Lisa Marie Presley died on the 12th of January this year. Priscilla and her attorneys had already moved to invalidate LM’s will before January ended. This will would have given Riley Keough a vast amount of control over Lisa Marie's estate. Lisa Marie made it very clear that she wanted Riley Keough and Ben (who died in 2020) as the executors.

Lisa Marie Presley died on the 12th of January this year. Priscilla and her attorneys had already moved to invalidate LM’s will before January ended. This will would have given Riley Keough a vast amount of control over Lisa Marie's estate. Lisa Marie made it very clear that she wanted Riley Keough and Ben (who died in 2020) as the executors. Priscilla, however, was so angry that she went to court immediately after she buried the girl. This was a very tacky act, which sparked a legal battle between Riley and Priscilla that lasted for months. They settled it a month ago and didn't release the terms until now. Riley is the sole executor of her mother’s estate. PEOPLE confirms that Riley Keough, Daisy Jones the Six's star, has been appointed sole trustee of the estate. This agreement was reached one month ago by Riley Keough and Priscilla Presley. Riley Keough, 34, filed documents in Los Angeles on Monday that were obtained by PEOPLE. In them, Riley asked the court to accept the settlement agreement reached last month. Entertainment Tonight broke the story first. Gold also adds that the parties save significant legal costs by avoiding litigation. They are also avoiding intra-family litigation which would have been against Lisa's wishes, and not in their best interest. Riley, who will serve as the sole trustee for the estate of her mother and the sub-trusts that will benefit her twin sisters Harper Lockwood and Finleylockwood (both 14), will also invest and safeguard the money in a way "consistent with the needs of beneficiaries and not influenced" by a Trustee's desire. Priscilla will, meanwhile be Trustee for the sub-trust that her son Navarone (and Lisa Marie’s half-brother), Navarone will receive 1/9 of Trust, according to the documents. Riley, Finley, and Harper will receive the rest, while Priscilla is entitled to a lump-sum payment of an undisclosed value from the Trust. According to the documents, Priscilla (78) was officially removed from her position as Trustee for the estate of her late daughter on May 11. The change will be in place regardless if Riley's petition gets approved or not. Multiple sources have said that the legal proceedings were responsible for Riley and Priscilla ceasing to speak to each other. A Presley family member said, "They don't see eye-to-eye." [From People] Riley threw money to her grandmother in order to make Priscilla back down. Priscilla was determined to have as much control over the estate as possible. Riley agreed to a lump-sum payment of an undisclosed sum from the Trust to convince Priscilla that she should be removed from the Trust. My god, what a tacky act by Priscilla. Riley also gave birth to her child in 2022 - Riley lost her mother shortly after giving birth and had to deal not only with her grandmother's f******. I feel bad for her.

Ezra Miller was arrested for multiple crimes during a crime spree that spanned across the country. The crimes ranged from kidnapping, assault and grooming to starting a cult. The crime spree seemed to have ended last summer when Ezra entered inpatient treatment for "complex psychological issues." Ezra's first public statement in almost a year was made at the premiere. Warner Bros. was thanked for their leadership and care. This means that Warner Bros. forced Ezra to undergo treatment in order to try desperately save its huge investment into this f****** messy franchise. The Hollywood Reporter noted that the studio had told all the stars to refrain from giving interviews on the red-carpet, and so the event was purely images. Ezra walked the red carpet as did Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Jessica Chastain Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dore Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron, Dove Cameron. I am sure that Warner Bros requested Ben Affleck bring Jennifer Lopez and have the two of them spend lots of time taking photos. I was tempted to use them as the headline story, a Bennifer Red Carpet. Warner Bros was after that, they wanted to put more focus on Bennifer's return and Ben as Batfleck. Any trick to take the heat off Ezra. Fashion note: J.Lo wore Gucci, and she did not seem too thrilled to be used as a savior for Ezra Miller. Backgrid is the source of these photos.

Boris Johnson has resigned as a MP in the wake of yet another 'Partygate scandal'
Boris Johnson has resigned as a MP in the wake of yet another 'Partygate scandal'
Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister who resigned last summer after a scandalous wave hit him, was forced to resign. According to what I understand (I am American!) The biggest problem was that BoJo and his staff were constantly having parties during the pandemic-lockdown. They then lied repeatedly about it and tried to hide all their drinking and partying.

Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister who resigned last summer after a scandalous wave hit him, was forced to resign. According to what I understand (I am American!) The biggest problem was that BoJo and his staff were constantly having parties during the pandemic-lockdown. They then lied repeatedly about it and tried to hide all their drinking and partying. Boris Johnson was already in a mess before the controversy broke out, but it's not surprising. Liz Truss, who took over after Johnson's resignation, served for just 44 days, not even two menstrual periods, before resigning in disgrace in October last year. This ensured a victory for the head of lettuce. Boris Johnson, I swear to God tried to play a power game, saying he should be allowed to become prime minister 44 days later. Nobody believed that he could be politically rehabilitated within a short time frame, but as an MP, he remained in a leadership role in the party. BoJo resigned as an MP. The former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is giving up his seat in parliament amid a longstanding ethics investigation. A report on his behavior as premier should be released next week. Johnson, in a fiery statement announcing the resignation of the legislature, called the parliamentary committee that was tasked to investigate whether he had lied to his fellow legislators about social gatherings held inside government buildings which violated his COVID-19 regulations on social distance as "a kangaroo Court". He had received a sneak preview of the committee's report which, it seems, influenced his decision. The investigative committee replied that his departure statement had "impugned Parliament" further. The opposition parties called the drama a "soapopera" and wished Johnson good riddance. He and others, including the current Prime Minister Rishi Sunderak, had received criminal fines in the past for their conduct during pandemic. Johnson, however, has insisted for years that the inaccurate and misleading statements he made on numerous occasions to Britain's lawmakers denying "lockdown parties," as they were known to be called, did not amount to intentional lies. [From NPR] It is still amazing to me that Boris's downfall was due to this. I am well aware of all the crazy things he did, both personally and politically. The British can forgive racism, misogyny and fathering untold numbers of children. They also excuse international clownery, nation buffoonery, Brexit, and other things. But if you throw a party during lockdown, there will be hell on earth to pay. Anyway, I am glad you finally got rid of him. He always seemed to be plotting some kind of political reinvention. BoJo was able to compile an "honors list" despite the fact that he has been out of Downing Street ten months. He awarded honors to former staffers and allies who were involved in the "Partygate scandal". Avalon Red provided the photos.

While Harry was testifying, Princess Kate went out for the 2nd day in a line.
It's amazing. It is hilarious that the palace's brain trust chose to use Princess of Wales' court appearances as "counterprogramming". How often did the palace braintrust speak eloquently about themselves? Like they were the crème de la creme in international public relations and that they were best image makers in the world. Here's another example that shows how deeply they are in the trenches and how badly they have miscalculated. Poor Jazz Hands has to be sent out in a ponytail, to pose for pictures.

Here's another example that shows how deeply they are in the trenches and how badly they have miscalculated. Poor Jazz Hands has to be sent out in a ponytail, to pose for pictures. Poor sausage was forced to work for two consecutive days because Harry was in town. Kate Middleton plays with the boys! The 41-year-old Princess of Wales took part in rugby training Wednesday morning, before speaking to the players and discussing their childhoods. She is continuing her campaign to highlight the importance of early years. She was able to combine her role as the leader of the Shaping Us campaign to discuss how to best nurture children, with her love of rugby. The visit to Maidenhead Rugby Club, however, was all about listening to men. While the Princess Kate spent much time talking with mothers and caregivers since launching her campaign back in January this year. She took part in rugby drills while wearing a blue tee shirt with a red rose logo representing England Rugby. Then she went into the club to discuss the importance of local sports clubs for parents. Kate was joined at the event by Shaping Us winner Ugo Monye. A former England rugby player and father of two children, Ugo is also a professional rugby player and representative from Maidenhead RFC. Si Trower was also present, founder of Brave Mind mental health charity, which helps rugby clubs and schools improve their mental health support in their communities. Her visit coincided with a study by her Early Years Foundation that found men less likely to understand the importance of the early years of a child’s life than women. [From People] No, it's not about Rugby! It's not about rugby! No, it is about shaping us! It's all about raising awareness! What is it? What is it? Rugby, men, children, sports, ponytails! God bless us all. I guess they couldn't say, "we put her in a ponytail and told her run around and flap her hands because we are scared sh-tless of Prince Harry's court testimony." She was also made to hug another person. These pants are terrible. Where is Kate's man? He disappears for weeks on end and no one speaks up. Cover Images is the source of these photos.

Edward Enninful was pushed out of British Vogue for being too "woke"
Edward Enninful was pushed out of British Vogue for being too "woke"
Edward Enninful being fired from British Vogue has many layers. Enninful resigned last Friday and said he would be taking on a global advisory position for international Vogue. In a matter of hours, rumors started to circulate that Enninful was battling Anna Wintour. She had allegedly destroyed him. Although I'm sure that this version of the story happened, I think that there is more to it than that. Enninful will and can make more money outside Conde Nast.

Edward Enninful being fired from British Vogue has many layers. Enninful resigned last Friday and said he would be taking on a global advisory position for international Vogue. In a matter of hours, rumors started to circulate that Enninful was battling Anna Wintour. She had allegedly destroyed him. Although I'm sure that this version of the story happened, I think that there is more to it than that. Enninful will and can make more money outside Conde Nast. The Telegraph published a surprisingly nuanced article about the ideological battle that took place behind the scenes in this Enninful vs. Wintour debate. The article is entitled "Why Anna Wintour Won Vogue's War on Waking Up". However, the analysis is spot-on. Highlights: Enninful and Roger Lynch, CEO of Conde Nast, had a disagreement. According to reports, Enninful made his decision at least partly because they disagreed on ideas. Lynch was concerned about Enninful’s progressive politics. Vogue, at its core, is just a business. As recent incidents have shown with Nike, Bud Light and Disney, the corporate world can be a fraught environment where you need to strike a delicate balance between being able to sell your product while also appearing as if you hold the "right views". Enninful’s progressive politics. Enninful was a fashion stylist who had an impressive contacts book. Since then, he's cemented his reputation as a champion of diversity and activism. Paris Lees was the first transgender contributor and Laverne cox, his cover star. Recently, covers featured disabled people. In September, he featured Timothee Chaalmet alone on his cover. Advertisers liked Enninful. Advertisers were said to love Enninful’s new direction. It gave them a chance to be next to a diverse and inclusive range of talent, with social media friendly messages. The company attracted advertising worth hundreds of millions from BMW. Also, there were some positive comments about the circulation. Conde Nast is notoriously opaque when it comes to its circulation figures, but Enninful’s Forces for Change September 2019 issue, which featured Greta on the cover and was guest edited by the Duchess, sold out within days. Enninful became a more activist editor, but for others, the magazine's entertainment was sacrificed to his activism. Farrah Stors, a former Elle editor, wrote in a Substack article that "Everything about [Enninful] made him not a classic editor, which is to say a journalist trained with a background in words." She writes that "Vogue evolved from a playful fashion magazine, even if it was a little horsey," to a political manifesto. Along the way people stopped buying the magazine, and instead, it was given away, or sold for a discount. It was too political, joyless and had forgotten its role as an upscale shopping magazine. Octavius black, chief executive at consultancy MindGym, says that diversity is important for business. "Not only does it make moral sense, but also good business sense" he adds. Black, who co-founded MindGym with a psychologist knows a lot about behavioural sciences. "We know inclusive companies outperform their non-inclusive counterparts. Some of these issues, however, can be polarising because it appears that certain protected categories are competing with one another. As we have seen in Scotland, women's rights and rights for transgender people can clash. You run the risk of appealing to a small group, and losing your appeal to other people. It's important to sell your product and show how ethical and responsible you are as a business. But, it is not wise to take a stand on controversial social justice issues. It would be foolish to come out in America for or against abortion. This is not to say it does not matter, but a company's role should not be to make a statement on such issues....

Prince Harry has sued MGN for'stopping the abuse, intrusion and hate' against Meghan
Prince Harry has sued MGN for'stopping the abuse, intrusion and hate' against Meghan
Prince Harry's deposition in his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers concluded yesterday, on Wednesday, 6th June. He spent about a day-and-a-half on the witness stand and was subjected to hours of cross examination by MGN lawyers. The judge also asked him some direct questions. Many in the American media and British press have been misled into thinking that this case depends solely on Harry and that Harry has to provide incontrovertible evidence of MGN's hacking.

Prince Harry's deposition in his lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers concluded yesterday, on Wednesday, 6th June. He spent about a day-and-a-half on the witness stand and was subjected to hours of cross examination by MGN lawyers. The judge also asked him some direct questions. Many in the American media and British press have been misled into thinking that this case depends solely on Harry and that Harry has to provide incontrovertible evidence of MGN's hacking. Harry is not the only plaintiff. The court has already heard from Mirror editors and journalists about how they sourced their stories. MGN has been the subject of many legal actions in the past. Harry also noted that MGN had destroyed evidence of its criminal activities. Harry spoke on the last day of his testimony about why he started to take legal action against MGN, and other newspapers. The Duke of Sussex revealed that he sued tabloid papers over phone hacking to protect his wife. Prince Harry, 38 years old, said he was thinking of ways to defend Meghan without having the Royal Family's legal team involved. He said, "I believe it was a conversation about how to find a solution to the abuse, intrusion, and hatred that were directed at me and my spouse." "And to see whether there was a way to find another course of action, without relying upon the institution's attorneys." The Duke has filed a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers over 148 articles that he claims were the result of illegal activities, such as phone hacking. In his second day of testimony, he revealed that Sir Elton John had introduced him to David Sherborne. The Duke suggested that Mr Sherborne was the one who had proposed legal action. The Telegraph Harry thought that the only way to protect himself was to follow whatever instructions he received from royal lawyers. Harry was never represented by those lawyers alone. They represented the interests of the Firm. The Firm preferred to negotiate deals behind closed doors, rather than sue tabloids directly. Harry did not realize that he had the option to hire his own attorney and pursue justice without having to rely on the royal-affiliated team of lawyers until 2019. Even the most conservative British media outlets admitted that Harry did well. He didn't lose temper or have a breakdown while on the witness stand. He did not pretend to know all the answers, and his legal team seemed well prepared. Fans cheered him as he left court. Avalon Red provided the photos.

Prince Harry appeared in court to testify about the Mirror Group Newspapers
Here are some pictures of Prince Harry arriving in court today to testify against Mirror Group Newspapers. MGN's attorney threw a fit in court because Harry wasn't at court yesterday. I believe that the British media was convinced that Harry would appear, and all outlets had sent out photographers and videographers to stake out court. Harry's first court appearance was always scheduled for today, June 6th. These photos are hard to take - it was like a carnival with photographers and media outlets all vying for their shot of Harry.

Here are some pictures of Prince Harry arriving in court today to testify against Mirror Group Newspapers. MGN's attorney threw a fit in court because Harry wasn't at court yesterday. I believe that the British media was convinced that Harry would appear, and all outlets had sent out photographers and videographers to stake out court. Harry's first court appearance was always scheduled for today, June 6th. These photos are hard to take - it was like a carnival with photographers and media outlets all vying for their shot of Harry. Many outlets broadcast live, as if it were the arrival of a monarch. Don't tell me Harry-arriving-at-court outsold the coronation? It will be the very first time in over a century that a British royal/prince has appeared in court. Harry will tell how the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and other tabloid media hacked his phone, stalked and paid off his girlfriends and made life hell for him since he was young. You can imagine that the Windsors support their British tabloid friends. Page Six reported that Prince Harry's new courtroom drama will likely widen the gap between him, King Charles and Prince William. The prince, who has been a renegade for years, flew to London in order to testify in the Daily Mirror hacking trial. He is the first royal to ever give evidence before a court. One highly-placed palace source responded: "I cannot imagine anyone being pleased" and added that they would be "privately bracing their selves." A royal insider added: "Harry will see himself fighting their battle, too, in order to protect the reputation and the monarchy. In most cases, the royal family avoids confrontation with media. The litigation process is long. Not to mention, it is expensive and stressful. You never know what the other side will do or say. Mirror Group Newspapers' (MGN) lawyer Andrew Green KC has already informed the court that the majority of stories about Harry were based on information provided by royal households and members of the Royal Family. The royal insider added, "There is a very good reason for the royal family to feel uncomfortable." Hugo Vickers, a noted writer and historian, pointed out that Harry would have to answer all questions under oath unlike his interviews with Oprah and Tom Bradby. Vickers said to Page Six, "It makes it look like another circus." "He has time to come to England and cause trouble but not to see his family or try to resolve any major issues. He is also exposing himself to an aggressive council that will ask him many disagreeable questions, which he must answer. From Page Six The Windsors are amoral and morally bankrupt. They don't see tabloids as partners or part of their communication. The Mirror Group will be able to claim that the information they have comes from the palace and not hacking. This is the reason why the Windsors seem so "concerned". Their tabloid partners are unreliable. This: "He has time to come to England and cause trouble but not to see his family or try to resolve any major issues." - Charles fled the country to avoid Harry.

The Princess Lilibet's Diana celebrated her second birthday at home in Montecito
The Princess Lilibet's Diana celebrated her second birthday at home in Montecito
Princess Lilibet Diana celebrated her two-year birthday on Sunday. The Sussexes did not release any photos on Sunday, just as they did not release any pictures of Prince Archie's fourth birthday. The Windsors did their best to make Archie's fourth birthday disappear by scheduling the coronation of King Charles, which is still one of those pathetic things. The Windsors did not schedule anything for Lili's birthday, but maybe they did. People just ignored it. The British media seems to be desperate for any news about Lili and Archie.

Princess Lilibet Diana celebrated her two-year birthday on Sunday. The Sussexes did not release any photos on Sunday, just as they did not release any pictures of Prince Archie's fourth birthday. The Windsors did their best to make Archie's fourth birthday disappear by scheduling the coronation of King Charles, which is still one of those pathetic things. The Windsors did not schedule anything for Lili's birthday, but maybe they did. People just ignored it. The British media seems to be desperate for any news about Lili and Archie. They even pretend that they have Montecito sources that knew of Lili's party plans. Prince Harry and Meghan will celebrate Princess Lilibet's second birthday in a memorable way. Lilibet Diana was born on June 20, 2021, when the Sussexes lived in Montecito in California. She has spent the majority of her life there and only once met her father's family, during the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee, which coincided with her first birthday. Royal expert claims that after celebrating Lili's first birthday in Frogmore Cottage, Windsor, her second birthday will be a 'all American affair'. The Sussexes have not revealed many details about the life of their young princess, but it was revealed earlier this year that the ceremony in which she was christened took place at the Sussexes mansion worth $14 million. Last year, cute photos of Lilibet's summer birthday were shared with her friends, including photographer Misan Harris, a friend of the Sussexes. Jennie Bond, royal expert at OK! Lilibet's 2nd birthday could be a star studded affair in the US. She said that she would expect a few celebrities to attend a relaxed party with other toddlers. It would be great to see a video message from Lilibet to her grandfather King Charles. Also, if possible, a gift will be sent to Montecito on Lilibet's birthday. The Daily Mail I don't think the Sussexes had a huge party. We just don't know, and that is wonderful. I love how they can raise their children quietly and exist as they wish. I doubt that Charles spoke to his granddaughter via video, given the fact that Charles did not invite Archie or Lili to his coronation. He made it a point to evict his grandchildren from the British home that they had renovated and leased. Do we really believe Charles sent us a gift? Probably. The Express reported just a few weeks ago that Charles wanted to send Lili "a custom-made cubbyhouse." Yeah, it's doubtful. The Sussex Squad also raised money for charity on Lili's Birthday - more than $100K for KABOOM. Today is the 2nd birthday of Little Princess Lilibet Diana! Happy birthday angel pic.twitter.com/uIhwNJzvOP -- Myra (@SussexPrincess) June 4, 2023 Lilibet, happy 2nd birthday! #PrincessLilibet2 #HarryandMeghan What better way to honor our girl than by helping other children in their community enjoy playspaces?

Leo DiCaprio allegedly dates 28-year-old Neelam Gil, a model
Leo DiCaprio allegedly dates 28-year-old Neelam Gil, a model
What's strange? Leonardo DiCaprio dumped Camila Morrone one year ago on her 25th Birthday. Leo is still without an "official girlfriend". He is rarely single for an entire year. Leo must be trying something different, perhaps because the internet made fun of him for dumped Morrone. Leo was concerned that the joke was over. He felt exposed. Since then, he has been trying to minimize the damage. He is convincing people that Gigi Hadid, a 28-year-old crone and single mother who looks haggard in her old age, is his girlfriend. Page Six believes they've got a lead. Leo went out...
What's strange? Leonardo DiCaprio dumped Camila Morrone one year ago on her 25th Birthday. Leo is still without an "official girlfriend". He is rarely single for an entire year. Leo must be trying something different, perhaps because the internet made fun of him for dumped Morrone. Leo was concerned that the joke was over. He felt exposed. Since then, he has been trying to minimize the damage. He is convincing people that Gigi Hadid, a 28-year-old crone and single mother who looks haggard in her old age, is his girlfriend. Page Six believes they've got a lead. Leo went out with his mother AND a model aged 28. Leonardo DiCaprio paused his partying for a night with friends, including British model Neelam Gil and Irmelin Irdenbirken. Page Six exclusively obtained photos of the 48-year-old "Titanic' actor as he left London's Chiltern Firehouse on Tuesday. Gill was photographed following behind the movie star's mother as they left the venue. DiCaprio was dressed in his typical look: a black bomber, jeans, white sneakers, and his baseball cap. He covered his face with a mask made of black that only covered his eyes. Indenbirken and Gill both wore all-black outfits for the event. A group of friends joined the actor, the mother and the model for dinner. DiCaprio, the dark-haired beauty, and several other beautiful women were seen together leaving Hotel Martinez, France, a week ago. Page Six reports that while DiCaprio has been known to date young, beautiful women in the past, Gill isn't dating him. She is actually dating one of DiCaprio's friends who attended the dinner. From Page Six Neelam is British-Indian. You're telling me Leo is seeing a Desi girl? This is a hilarious and huge moment for my community. Neelam may be gorgeous, but she doesn't look anything like Leo. She's beautiful and she is a model. She's not blonde, and she isn't under 25. It's... interesting that they are just friends. Leo is known to go on group dates when he first starts dating someone. It's possible that Leo and Gill are dating, but this is still early. Leo and Neelam were both at Cannes Film Festival in 2014. Was that where they first met? Interesting.

The trade papers reported last week that Kim Cattrall secretly filmed her cameo in the finale of the second season of And Just Like That. AJLT is the spin-off of Sex and the City. It features the same characters, minus Cattrall’s Sam Jones. There are also some new characters. Sarah Jessica Parker is the creator of AJLT, as she loves to beat a dead horse. I'm sure she makes a lot from it since she's still an executive producer. Sarah Jessica Parker's appointment as EP of SATC was the turning point in their relationship. She used her position to marginalize Kim, and gave Sam dumb storylines. This is why Kim declined to return for a third SATC movie and for AJLT. Cattrall must have been begging producers to keep coming back and offer her more money. She was able to set her own terms because she had the power. Page Six has revealed that Cattrall’s surprise appearance in the second season -- dubbed a "cliffhanger," as it was described -- did not come with no demands. Sources claim that the actress refused filming with Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davies. Page Six reported that she would also not step foot on the Queens sets if Michael Patrick King, showrunner and SJP supporter, was present. One source stated: "Kim was very clear about her two requirements - she didn't want to act with the other girls and she also did not want Michael Patrick King to appear on the show." Fans loved her, but she refused to do a third movie in the "SATC" series amid reports that there was friction between SJP and Cattrall. This included the revelation that Cattrall and her co-stars felt they were not being paid well enough. SJP received more money than her. The producers explained Samantha's absence from the first few episodes by stating that her character lives in London, and that Carrie and Samantha had a falling out after the writer fired Carrie as a publicity agent. Cattrall may have had the last laugh with her buzzy comeback, according to a show source: "She'll have made a lot of money." Kim's power is evident. She's still needed on the show. She won't return for the next series, despite what fans may think. She was mistreated. "I'm glad that she got to be the heroine... I'm certain it took a great deal of massaging to get the cameo to happen." Samantha can be seen having a conversation on the phone with Carrie in the scene. Page Six quoted a spokesperson from HBO and Max as saying: "The offer made to Kim was to make a phone-call, which would have been shot in isolation like most calls. Samantha could easily and conveniently return. "We are so happy it worked out." Candace Bushnell is the celebrated author and creator of "SATC". She told Page Six that she loves Kim. "Everyone loves Kim." I'm certain she was paid handsomely. Kim is an adult woman who does things according to her own terms. It's what her fans want." Bushnell, who gets a creator's credit for AJLT, added: "Listen to me. I hope that this series lasts a long time!" From Page Six Variety reported last week that Michael Patrick King was not there, Patricia Field dressed Kim for the last time and Kim did not work or see any other actresses. We didn't realize that Kim had made this condition clear. She would not want to watch MPK or SJP. It's funny to me that the scene was supposed to have been a conversation between Sam and Carrie. Usually, when actors are on the phone, they will appear off-camera to read the lines. Kim had to be fed Carrie's lines by someone who sat there. I wonder if Carrie specified who was to do this. I'd also assume she had script approval for this one scene. Why would they negotiate all this if she was going to say dumb stuff? No, I do not believe Kim will "come back." She did this for her fans and no one else. Avalon Red Cover Images provided the photos. Did you miss our previous article......

DHS has rejected Heritage Foundation's request to obtain Prince Harry's records
The Heritage Foundation, an American right-wing think tank, has openly tried to "deport Prince Harry" since March. Many British right-wingers also work at the Heritage Foundation.

The Heritage Foundation, an American right-wing think tank, has openly tried to "deport Prince Harry" since March. Many British right-wingers also work at the Heritage Foundation. There is a direct link between American and British fascist ideologies these days. British right-wingers believe they are influential in American culture and politics. Heritage Foundation staffers are working on a special project for British newspapers. Heritage has sued the Biden administration in order to obtain Prince Harry's Visa application. Harry wrote that he did drugs. Heritage is claiming that Harry's drug usage affects his Visa. It doesn't. Immigration, meanwhile, has ignored Heritage's FOIA request and is now dismissing Heritage's stupid lawsuit. The Joe Biden Administration has been accused of "stonewalling", a legal attempt to reveal details of Prince Harry’s US visa application, using Freedom of Information Laws. The Washington-based think tank that is pursuing this case has described the decision as "outrageous". They had asked to fast-track the application on the basis of exceptional public interests. Heritage Foundation, a right-wing group, has asked a court to reverse the Department of Homeland Security's decision. A hearing is expected next month. In March, the Heritage Foundation called for the immediate release the Duke of Sussex’s visa records after he confessed to drug use in his memoir Spare. US Freedom of Information Laws allow for applications to be expedited if "there is widespread and exceptional media attention in which there are possible questions regarding the integrity of the government that affect public trust". The Heritage Foundation claimed that the Prince Harry visa case cleared this bar. However, the fast-track request was denied on the basis that British publishers, including The Telegraph which demanded answers about the visa application, are not mainstream enough in the US. Nile Gardiner is the director of the Margaret Thatcher Centre for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation. He said that the Biden administration was clearly stonewalling and avoiding the release of any documents. The Biden administration is trying to undermine the credibility of British Press. This is outrageous. They also focus their fire on British Press despite the fact that we submitted articles about the same topic in the US Press. The Heritage Foundation submitted Freedom of Information Requests for the Duke's Visa Application Records to the Department of Homeland Security and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. In its written objection to the fast track request, the Department of Homeland Security referred to The Telegraph and British publications as being "niche", and said that it was not convinced that there were any exceptional circumstances which made an urgent response required. The Telegraph The Department of Homeland Security referred to The Telegraph and British publications as a 'niche publication'. OH MY GOODNESS. The Telegraph, and other British publications have spent considerable time and money putting together a "case" as to why Prince Harry should be deported. Homeland Security then laughed and called them niche. I mean, is IS niche. Homeland Security and Immigration is a huge department that deals with thousands of issues each day. The Heritage Foundation, in conjunction with these niche publications, is wasting everyone's money, time and effort. DHS didn't give a damn that a white, rich Christian man was a drug user and included this fact on his visa. Avalon Red and Instar provided the photos.

Her groom probably isn't that tall. Although I liked her wedding dress, I didn't like her reception outfit. Ball gowns with too much detail, too many appliques and too Scarlett O'Hara. Yikes. Oh well, people will remember the wedding gown of her daughter and hopefully forget about her reception outfit.

Robert DeNiro and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen announced a few weeks ago that they had welcomed a new baby. DeNiro, who is 79, has seven children. This baby girl is named Gia Virginia. DeNiro is not alone in the Old Dad Club. Al Pacino's 29-year old girlfriend is pregnant with a child. Pacino is 82. What's the deal with these two? TMZ reports that Robert De Niro has nothing on Al Pacino... his girlfriend, the 82-year old actor's wife, is a month from giving birth... according to multiple sources. Noor Alfallah, according to our sources, is eight months pregnant. Pacino has been linked with the 29-year old since April 2022. Al has three children with two different women... two with Beverly D'Angelo, and one with Jan Tarrant. Alfallah was previously in a relationship with Mick Jagger, and Nicolas Berggruen, a billionaire. Pacino will be 100 years old, God willing when the child reaches 18. Al is 79 years old and has just given birth to a child with Tiffany Chen. [From TMZ] Pacino's representative confirmed the news following TMZ initial reporting. So it is real. Pacino and Noor have been a couple for some time. We first heard about them when they went out to dinner in April 2022 with Jason Momoa, and joked about Pacino's Shrek-themed phone case. Noor was seven when Shrek first came out. She hadn't been born when Scent of a Woman, Pacino's Oscar winning role, was released. I am also fascinated by Noor's life so far. She has led a jet set lifestyle, which puts her in the path of rich septuagenarians or octogenarians who she considers to be her romantic peers. She dated Mick Jagger at 25. She's now pregnant with Al Pacino. Whew. Did you miss our previous article... https://wawawiiwa.com/celebrity/the-heritage-foundation-was-given-a-hearing-in-court-over-prince-harrys-visa-application

The glitz and glam of Princess Kate has King Charles & Camilla 'unsettled.'
The glitz and glam of Princess Kate has King Charles & Camilla 'unsettled.'
You can tell when a narrative shifts and certain royals start to be "punished" from the palace if you have been reading royal gossips for years. This is happening to the Princess right now. Kate thought that it would be an excellent idea to make King Charles and Queen Camilla look bad by bringing the Chelsea Flower Show to a halt. She has been paying for this ever since.

Kate thought that it would be an excellent idea to make King Charles and Queen Camilla look bad by bringing the Chelsea Flower Show to a halt. She has been paying for this ever since. Buckingham Palace is not anti-Kate, but they are trying to "put Kate in her place". They want to make sure that she receives some bad publicity. It's funny to see how the royal roster is trying so hard to pretend that this isn't happening. This is an excerpt from this weekend's "Palace Confidential", as reported by the Mail. Royal experts claim that the popularity of the Princess of Wales is a source of concern for King Charles and the Queen Camilla. However, the Palace views Kate as a "great model for monarchy". Kate Mansey: Mansey insists that the Princess was not 'competing' with her inlaws by her secret engagement. Expert: "I think she is a great role model for the Royal Family [and] the monarchy. They appreciate that." The royal expert said: 'They wouldn't be there if she wasn't brilliant, so I think there is a way for them to all exist. Kate said: "So, a little glitz and glamour from Catherine is welcome." There is room for everyone! Richard Eden's view: Before the Queen died, the royal expert emphasized how royal aides wanted Charles and Camilla complete as many engagements with William and Kate as possible. He explained: "I think that that was an opportunity to show that the monarchy was in safe hands and that it was the future." It's a little different now that [Charles] and Camilla are King and Queen. It could be unsettling for them if they do not get the attention they want. The Daily Mail "A little glam and glamour from Catherine is welcome." Mansey literally says that at Buckingham Palace. She is telling Charles's musty aides to calm down and stop attacking Kate. Robert Jobson may have said the same thing - like courtiers giving Charles and Camilla a little pep talk. "It's fine sir, Kate'll get attention, and it's good!" But the problem is that it suggests that Charles and Camilla do not have enough glitz, glamour, and sparkle on their own. They need Kate to run around in Sister Wife gowns and Shamble Wiglets, providing a shot of royal glamor. Charles and Camilla are indeed "unsettled". You could even describe them as angry, short-sighted, and punitive. Avalon Red provided the photos.

Queen Camilla: "You speak very good English"
Queen Camilla: "You speak very good English"

Here are photos of Day 2 from King Charles and Queen Camilla’s "surprise visit" to Northern Ireland last week. On Day 1, they opened a public park and stumbled around at a garden celebration. On Day 2, they visited a library and a multi-faith event, as well as meeting with children from immigrant families. According to what I have seen in British newspapers, the visit of the kings and queens was not covered too much. According to the Times article and photos, it may be a good thing. Camilla seemed to be getting shithoused during one of her stops. She told the children she met that they spoke "very good English." As is the King, Camilla enjoys gardening. On a recent visit to Northern Ireland, she admitted that all the weeding and trimming at 75 years old usually makes her "creak". On the second of their two-day trip to Northern Ireland, the Queen visited the 252-year old Armagh Robinson Library. She was also shown sections of Joseph Paxton’s Magazine of Botany. This is a collection of illustrated gardening advice. She told members of Dementia NI: "I am a passionate gardener. I'm a passionate gardener. It's also very therapeutic. But I stay way too long. "Everything creaks and grumbles." Camilla was welcomed by a table full of library volunteers and a group of Drelincourt School children whose English was their second language. She told them: "This work is really special." Without volunteers, the whole country would fall apart. It's a good thing there are so many of you. "Volunteers also receive as much as they give." She said to some children who had arrived in Northern Ireland only two weeks earlier: "You are very good at English." Angela Baleva is six years old, was born in Portugal, and speaks Bulgarian as her first language. She gave the Queen an image she colored in from the Lindisfarne Gospels. She said, "I told her I thought she looked beautiful and she thanked me." The Times Pay people for their hard work, please. Unpaid labor cannot sustain a country built on voluntarism. "You speak excellent English" - Camilla probably meant it as a compliment, but I was irritated by it, considering how hard it is for immigrants to adjust to any new country. Irritating. As for Camilla's creaking and grunting, yeah, those orthopedic kitten wedges say it all. Cover Images is the source of these photos.

Remember when Kate said Kensington Palace staffers took her driving license and controlled her movements, and then the next day Kate was sent to perform a stunt in front of the paparazzi. Kate was photographed suddenly behind the wheel of a vehicle, as if it were magic. Yesterday, at the same time that the Sussexes released their statement regarding the horrendous paparazzi pursuit, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince Charles held their first joint public event since the coronation weekend. They took pictures in their car and all around it. They are real. It was inevitable and now it has happened - the Princess of Wales attended an event in London today. She was photographed with no paparazzi in sight, walking freely and smiling and laughing as if Harry and Meghan had just been involved in an important security issue. Kate's visit was to the Anna Freud Centre, London. She wore green Suzannah. This dress looks like a repeat. I may be confusing it with another green dress she owns, which all have the same exact design. Her earrings retail at PS11 and are from Accessorize. I guess Camilla isn't really letting Kate wear Royal Collection items, huh? Kate at least had the time to get her hair blown out. Avalon Red provided the photos.

I love Elle Fanning, and I am strangely proud of the woman she has become. I remember Elle Fanning as a small girl who was too fragile to survive. She has not only survived but thrived, and she has done so without causing controversy or going through wild-child phase. She looks like she belongs in a bygone era. This is why she does so well with period pieces. Elle covers Harper's Bazaar UK's latest issue to promote The Great's latest season, in which she portrays the young Catherine.

I love Elle Fanning, and I am strangely proud of the woman she has become. I remember Elle Fanning as a small girl who was too fragile to survive. She has not only survived but thrived, and she has done so without causing controversy or going through wild-child phase. She looks like she belongs in a bygone era. This is why she does so well with period pieces. Elle covers Harper's Bazaar UK's latest issue to promote The Great's latest season, in which she portrays the young Catherine. She speaks a lot about The Great and confirms the breakup of her and Max Minghella. I forgot they were together! Highlights: Her "college experience" was her work: "I have been working on all those "adult" things." How to live alone, who am I?" She was told that she did not need to research historical facts for 'The Great.' "When I first got cast, Tony said there was no need to research anything, as the story was not based on historic fact. Before I took on the role of Catherine the Great, I only knew that she had sex a horse, which is one of the oldest forms of slut shaming. "I wanted to give her name back to her, to show how progressive and forward-thinking she was, championing female education and science, and being a driving force behind the Russian Enlightenment. But was Catherine badass or not? I still hear "Catherine the Great?" It's true that she is a badass, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. She is willing to take risks, but it takes her time to get there. She is powerful but she's not always the strongest person in the room. She can be both clever and naive. She is both a girl, and a lady. I played Catherine during such formative years in my life. "I've grown into a woman along with her." She has gained confidence in her job: "These day, I feel that my voice is important. It took me a long time to realize that I had been doing this job for 20 years. I don't always know the answer but I have realized that you have to sometimes have that Catherine ego to say "Listen to me!" '" I was obsessed by it. I had a moulded bump that reached all the way to my neck. The costume team said that this was pretty accurate for what my body would look like when pregnant... which felt quite bizarre. It was beautiful. "It made me want it to do, to be pregnant." She has an "old spirit". "I am very nostalgic and I don't necessarily feel that I belong in the modern world. I feel comfortable in London and antique shops because London has so much history. A psychic Fanning spoke with once said that she was from a different time, while Dakota was an "alien from the future". She adds with a laugh, "It's logical". Her future: "I would love to play Grace Kelly somewhere. She's currently single after a long relationship with actor Max Minghella. "But I am a hopeless Romantic. I believe that love can be found at first glance. You can call me crazy but I do believe in these things. "I feel it's my destiny." [From Harper's Bazaar] I believe in past lives, and reincarnation is what I think makes some people like Elle seem to be from another era. She loved her past life. She loves the clothes, the style, the feel of the era, and carried it with her to the next. I wonder if she will be able to handle her vintage-aesthetic and romanticism in the future. She has a great head on her shoulders. See this post on Instagram Harper's Bazaar UK shared this post (@bazaaruk). Harper's Bazaar UK, Harper's Bazaar UK cover IG. Photos courtesy Avalon Red.

Cate Blanchett demands that productions interview a POC & woman for every position
Cate Blanchett demands that productions interview a POC & woman for every position
Cate Blanchett was in Italy last week to attend the Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection Show at the Palazzo Borromeo. Cate Blanchett is a "house Ambassador" for LV and has asked LV to create custom looks using fabric left over from previous collections. She wore those fabric-remnant-designs in Cannes and I kind of disliked them. The fabric was good, but the design wasn't. Cate may not be wearing a "new" dress in these pictures, but since she is at the Cruise Collection runway/event, I'm sure they gave her a new outfit. The design is terrible once again.

Cate Blanchett was in Italy last week to attend the Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection Show at the Palazzo Borromeo. Cate Blanchett is a "house Ambassador" for LV and has asked LV to create custom looks using fabric left over from previous collections. She wore those fabric-remnant-designs in Cannes and I kind of disliked them. The fabric was good, but the design wasn't. Cate may not be wearing a "new" dress in these pictures, but since she is at the Cruise Collection runway/event, I'm sure they gave her a new outfit. The design is terrible once again. These sleeves are so ugly. It's going to be a very hard job for me. Cate also spoke at an event in Cannes called Kering Women in Motion. She talked about her recent role as a film producer, and how she and Coco Francini, who is also a partner in productions, decided to enforce diversity quotas for the films that they produce. Or, at least, quotas for who they interview to fill jobs. In "Mrs. Blanchett Francini hired a majority of female crew and directors for "Mrs. They decided that they would only work on projects where there was a requirement to interview women and people of color. Blanchett, Francini and their company are proud of the fact that they run a business that promotes diverse voices and women filmmakers from around the world. Blanchett recalls an era in her career, not too long ago, when she was the only female on set. She hopes to change this with her work as producer. Blanchett: "We both have had experiences when we've walked onto set and done the count and wondered why sometimes you feel a little alienated and annoyed." "I realized that I was the only female in the cast...there were 62 men and, yep. I am the only one." Blanchett said. This ratio is really bad...it is disproportionate. It means that you laugh at the same jokes all the time. "I have a great sense of humor but I'm like, Let's switch it up." [From Variety] Some right-wing websites have tried to make it seem like she is dictating all productions MUST be woke. But... saying you are only required to interview a few people of color and females, that's really bare-bones wakeism. It's hardly even woke? It's not that "let's interview some women of colour for this job", is a guarantee that they will be hired. You're just expanding the pool of people who are interviewed. Cate's art-house tastes are so funky, I know she will help make some cool films. Cover Images is the source of these photos.

Aristocrats still sulk about not receiving coronation invites
Aristocrats still sulk about not receiving coronation invites
I loved reading about random aristocrats that were upset because they weren't invited to the coronation. For months, there were many stories about "peers" of the realm who left angry voicemails and sent strongly-worded letters to the Duke Norfolk. He was the one in charge of this whole mess. The non-royal dukes were angry that King Charles had not invited them, and they were prepared to storm the castle. Charles did not invite any of the Mountbattens or other relatives, and he didn't invite many people who were royally-adjacent. Katy Perry, Queen Camilla and her ex-husband were invited. Yeah. As...
I loved reading about random aristocrats that were upset because they weren't invited to the coronation. For months, there were many stories about "peers" of the realm who left angry voicemails and sent strongly-worded letters to the Duke Norfolk. He was the one in charge of this whole mess. The non-royal dukes were angry that King Charles had not invited them, and they were prepared to storm the castle. Charles did not invite any of the Mountbattens or other relatives, and he didn't invite many people who were royally-adjacent. Katy Perry, Queen Camilla and her ex-husband were invited. Yeah. As I said in the Chubbly before, if they are really angry, then it will be a slow-burning gossip story. Looks like people are still angry. Hugo Vickers's Mail article: The aristocrats in the whole country are going crazy. The majority of them were not invited to the Coronation. I was told that the Duke, who played a major role in the organisation of the ceremony as Earl Marshal, received dozens of letters from peers explaining their reasons for attending. In the months before, when I gave talks and lectures, hereditary peer's robes were left in the closet. One of them told me that he was a peer and had the 'inalienable' right to attend a Coronation. I'm all for inclusion and recognizing the changing times. My controversial suggestion is that, when Prince William plans his own Coronation he invites an element of aristocrats to the event. The nobility has lost their influence over the years. Patrick Plunket would often tell the Queen that the aristocracy was becoming restive in the early years. She would then throw a ball. It would be a shame to alienate them. One irritated House of Lords peer said to me: "Just wait until the King requests more money from Parliament ...' There were many TV and sports celebrities in attendance. It would have been simple to invite 5 Dukes, marquesses, etc. - 25 seats reserved for hereditary peers. The world has changed. Ant Dec are in, the hereditary peering out for the very first time in 1000 years. I don't think William should invite everyone to his Coronation, when it finally happens. Just a representative group. After all, they are a part the way things are done. They still own large portions of England and Scotland. Many of them dedicate their lives to public service, just as they do the monarchy. Hereditary rights are what keep the King in place. They are also. To complain that peers are just a relic from the past raises awkward questions about monarchy. The Daily Mail What do you make of the fact that the aristocrats still rage, even weeks after the coronation? And that the Daily Mail reports on this? Yeah. It's bad. It's bad for King Charles. Hilarious for everyone else. Charles, more than his son, is close to aristocrats like dukes, viscounts and lords. He is close to them, and they have helped him cover up and facilitate his affairs over the years. Just a little hint: These people know a great deal about Charles and Camilla. It would be a terrible thing if the Duke felt compelled to write an scathing critique of the new King. The Earl of Corgipaw making a big deal about the new king would be devastating to the reign. This is also a serious threat: "to complain about the peers of the kingdom being a mere remnant of the past would raise awkward questions regarding the monarchy." You think that the aristocracy has lost touch with modern society, Charles? Guess what. Cover Images and Avalon Red provided the photos.
