Beatrice, Eugenie feud with Prince William revealed after Ascot snub
- King Charles heir warned him over Princess Beatrice’s promotion
- Prince William now controls next move for royal titles and monarchy future
- Royal Ascot snub ‘only the beginning’ of Prince William’s reign
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie reportedly were not expecting a shocking notice from the Palace, uninviting them from the annual Royal Ascot, especially after they had received the support from the royals last Christmas.
Moreover, while their father is stripped off of his royal titles and honours, they retain all of those and have even received new patronages in the past few months. With the new revelations in the Epstein files, the sisters have been facing criticism for supporting their parents when they were young but not underage.
King Charles had the longest waiting period in the British royal history to ascend to the throne, but it still seemed that he lacked the foresight and gave into his emotional decisions.
On the other hand, Prince William has already envisioned what path he will be taking for the monarchy and had made several pleas to his father to avoid the crisis the royals have been facing today, per Tom Sykes.
The York family, especially Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has turned out to be a bane for their royal engagements and the work they have been doing. The ongoing investigation also has brought humiliation to the royals.
Friends of William have revealed to Daily Beast that the heir to the throne had urged his father to cut the York family completely out of royal life and has despaired at his father’s half-measures on the matter.
Sykes shared that the Royal Ascot ban had been a “highly visible marker of who is ‘in’ and who is ‘out’.”
William had had good terms with his cousins but that hasn’t changed his plans for a “bonfire of titles”. It could cause a rift between them but the future king is determined in his stance.
“The aim is a much tighter, more controlled monarchy in which only a small inner circle carries the burden—and the risk—of representing the crown,” Tom claims. “Against that backdrop, barring Beatrice and Eugenie from the Royal Ascot carriage procession looks less like a one-off snub and more like an early skirmish in a larger campaign.”
A 5.5-magnitude earthquake jolted Islamabad, Peshawar and several parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday, the Seismological Centre data showed.
The tremors were also felt in Swat, Hangu, North Waziristan and Chitral, while residents Rawalpindi experienced the shaking as well.
The seismological centre said the earthquake was moderate level, measured 5.5 in magnitude and occurred at a depth of 199 kilometres.
It added that the epicentre was located in the Koh Hindu Kush region.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
— This is a developing story and is being updated with additional details.
Li Jun Li is heading to the post-apocalypse.
The Sinners breakout star has been cast in season three of HBO’s The Last of Us, Deadline has confirmed, playing Miriam, a Seraphite and the mother of Lev and Yara.
Li came to widespread attention for her critically acclaimed performance as Grace Chow in Ryan Coogler’s Oscar-winning Sinners.
Her casting joins previously announced additions Michelle Mao, from Bridgerton, and Kyriana Kratter, who will play siblings Yara and Lev respectively.
Season three will adapt the second half of the Part II video game, shifting the central focus to Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever.
It marks a significant change of direction from the first two seasons, which followed Joel, played by Pedro Pascal, and Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, as they navigated a world destroyed by a fungal outbreak twenty years earlier.
Season two picked up five years after the original, drawing the pair into new and more unpredictable conflict.
Craig Mazin, who co-created the series alongside the game’s Neil Druckmann and served as co-showrunner on the first two seasons, takes sole showrunner duties for season three.
For Li, the role continues what is shaping up to be a strong run of high-profile projects.
She is also set to appear opposite Nicolas Cage in the live-action series Spider-Noir, which premieres on Prime Video on 27 May.
David Harbour has joined the cast of John Rambo, the origin story prequel to the iconic Sylvester Stallone franchise, taking on the role of Major Trautman, Rambo’s commanding officer and the closest thing the one-man fighting force has ever had to a calming influence.
The Stranger Things star is a late addition to the film, which wrapped production in Thailand in March.
In the original Rambo trilogy of the 1980s, the role of Trautman was played by Richard Crenna.
Harbour steps into those shoes for a story set before the events of First Blood, following a young John Rambo, played by Noah Centineo, as a soldier fighting in the jungle, years before he becomes the stoic loner audiences came to know.
The film is directed by Jalmari Helander, the Finnish filmmaker behind the Sisu movies, known for their brutal and uncompromising action.
It is another high-profile addition to what is shaping up to be a very busy period for Harbour.
He is currently receiving strong notices for his role as Floyd Smernitch in DTF St. Louis, has Avengers: Doomsday in post-production, and is also working on Violent Night 2, Evil Genius and Lionsgate’s A Head Full of Ghosts.
He previously worked with AGBO on Extraction, making John Rambo a reunion of sorts with the production company.
