“The Crown” is good news for Camilla

After years of seething about the show, the royals may be happy about one of the positives from the sixth and final season The crown ends in 2005. It is the year of the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

“People always ask Peter (Morgan, the show’s creator and writer) if he’s going to write a sequel,” says a source connected to the series told that telegraph. “There’s no need for that because the last five or six episodes bring you straight to the present. You’re actually looking at this rehabilitated Queen Camilla character.”

The upcoming final season will be divided into two parts – Princess Diana’s death and the turbulent events surrounding it, and then what happened after, including the mission to oversee Camilla’s public rehabilitation (including the moment she and Charles first met were photographed). a couple outside the Ritz in 1999) and Queen Elizabeth’s longstanding refusal to meet them.

However, The crown shows the Queen toasting the couple at their 2005 Grand National wedding and saying: “They’ve done it and I’m very proud and wish them all the best.” My son is home and dry the woman he loves.”

Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton also play central roles in the final season’s drama, Morgan said. “Season 6 is just the arrival of William, Kate and Harry, so… It just blows the doors off, so to speak, and you just want to see them,” he said. “As we were reading, you could just see that everyone was just looking up and looking at each other across the room. And every time William spoke it was like, ‘Oh my God, this is just captivating.'”

Kate’s parents face ‘cruel’ poster campaign

Kate Middleton’s Carole and Michael are facing a “cruel” poster campaign after their party business Party Pieces went bust. The Sun Reports. When it went bust, the company had debts of £2.6 million ($3.1 million).

“Vicious messages were posted on lampposts and trees around the couple’s home village of Bucklebury,” the paper said. Their son James, who lives nearby with his wife Alizee, was seen tearing down some of the posters. Some party piece suppliers still owe money and want the Middletons to pay out of their own pockets.

A source told the newspaper: “Carole and Michael are incredibly popular. Everyone is horrified by these posters. It is unfair to do this in their home village, just a few meters away from where they live. “Their son James lives nearby, as does Pippa, who recently moved there with her family, so they are all dealing with this. They are doing their best to make things right and don’t deserve this kind of abuse.”

Nice holidays

Meghan Markle said at a recent event that the only thing more important to her than being a mother is being a wife, and that she and Prince Harry want to have some time for themselves this weekend after traveling to Canouan without their children Children, Archie and Lilibet, have flown to a tiny island in the Caribbean.

The couple was photographed by the Daily Mail on the island jokingly referred to as the place where “billionaires go to escape millionaires.” Packing for the vacation seemed to be just right, as Meghan wore an ivory Chloe maxi dress and a Panama hat, while Harry stayed comfy in a T-shirt and cargo shorts.

Canouan Island is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It has a branch of Soho House, the members’ club of which Harry and Meghan are patrons post speculates that they might stay. A viewer said this post: “They looked happy. As Harry left the shop, he lightly bumped into one of the barrels [outside] and they both giggled and Meghan reached for his hand. They just looked really happy to be vacationing together.”

Take five

Princess Eugenie married her boyfriend Jack Brooksbank five years ago and this week posted an adorable Instagram video to celebrate the anniversary, including some flashbacks from the October 2018 wedding.

Eugenie also posted a picture of her and Jack and their two children August, 2, and Ernest, 4, on a beach. The family now lives in Portugal. The clip had a musical accompaniment to the melody of You have love by Florence and the Machine.

Sweet and sour

A rather heartbreaking reminder of the beloved relationships that saw Harry and William once embraced has emerged in the form of a Sandringham House Christmas menu containing a message sent by a young Harry to his brother. Harry’s message reads: “William, what are you talking about? Report back. The unruly penciled scrawl stands in stark contrast to the formality of the 1993 Christmas buffet menu, which featured dishes such as beef tenderloin, foie gras, beef tongue, York ham and smoked turkey.

It is printed in French and decorated with the Queen’s cipher. Harry would have been nine and William eleven, and their parents were still married. The menu is believed to be the only known example of Harry’s handwriting available for sale. Was an expert in memorabilia quoted by the Sun saying: “This is absolutely genuine and a very interesting historical item that shows how close William and Harry grew up.”

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward said: “This is very sweet and shows that the princes had fun at a rather stuffy dinner.” But I look at it with a touch of sadness because it shows that they were close and allies, what is in real contrast to her current relationship.”

Secrets of Edward VIII

Exciting news for followers of the saga of Edward VIII, the king who abdicated the throne in favor of Wallis Simpson and was widely portrayed as a Nazi sympathizer.

American actress and archive specialist Jane Marguerite Tippett will publish a new book based on the telegraph cites an “extraordinary treasure trove of forgotten documents,” including an early draft of his memoirs, which, Tippet suspects, contains many of the interesting things that were ultimately omitted from the published version, his 1951 memoirs. The Story of a King.

Tippett has cleverly searched the archives of Charles JV Murphy, a US journalist Time Magazine who worked as a ghostwriter for the Duke of Windsor, as he was known after his abdication. “As soon as I sat down in front of the material, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” she said. She found the first draft of the memoir and “hundreds of pages of transcriptions of conversations between Murphy and the Duke.”

Tippett says: “It was all new material. How, I kept asking myself, could it not have been found sooner? My heart was racing.”

She will publish a book based on the new material later this year called Once a king. Among the documents she found were documents written between 1936 and 1947 detailing Edward VIII’s visits to Nazi Germany. Tippett says: “They contain raw thoughts, comments and emotions that were never intended to reach anywhere near the public sphere.” We will never hear from the Duke and Duchess as directly as in this material. That’s why it’s unprecedented for me.”

Unanswered questions

Why is the royal family so upset? The crown when the show always shows her in a nuanced, open-minded and relatively sympathetic light? She certainly takes them much more seriously than the institution’s harshest critics.
