Royal Expert reveals truth about Prince Harry’s rumoured Diana documentary
Prince Harry is unlikely to move forward with a solo documentary about Princess Diana, despite growing rumours, claimed an expert.
Ever since the news of the Sussexes new Netflix deal broke, there are rumours that the couple might work on a new documentary surrounding Diana’s life.
If made, this documentary or film could threatened any hopes of reunion between Harry and Prince William, several royal experts have claimed.
Royal expert Jennie Bond dismissed the claims as “just rumours and wishful thinking by Netflix,” adding that Harry is unlikely to commercialise his mother’s life and death.
“I suspect these reports are just rumours and wishful thinking by Netflix. I doubt whether Harry would really want to commercialise his mother‘s life and death,” Bond told The Mirror.
She added, “August 31 will forever be a day of intense sadness for William and Harry,” adding, “You might imagine that, after all their shared pain at losing her, they would want to talk to one another about their feelings on such an important date.”
“No one else in the world knows what it was like to be the son of an iconic princess who died so tragically on that day,” she said, referring to Diana’s death anniversary.
“Sadly, however, I think their rift has become too deep and their lives so separated that they’ve become used to marking their mother’s death in their own, private way.
“I don’t think they will be sharing their thoughts or their feelings with each other. I don’t think there will be any phone calls or texts, even on such a sad day.”
Barry Manilow, the singer-songwriter known for hits like “Copacabana,” announced Monday that he was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and will need to reschedule January concert dates in order to have surgery.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Manilow, 82, said that an MRI scan detected “a cancerous spot” on one of his lungs after he suffered a lengthy bout of bronchitis in the midst of his Las Vegas residency.
“As many of you know I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks. Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK,” Manilow said in the statement. “The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed.”
“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early,” Manilow said, adding that he is going to have surgery to have the spot removed.
“The doctors do not believe it has spread, and I’m taking tests to confirm their diagnosis,” he said. “So, that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.”
Manilow just finished a string of Christmas shows at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino, where he has a lifetime residency. His January concert dates will be rescheduled as he recovers from surgery, he said.
The singer assured fans that he will be back to work by February and intends to perform Valentine’s Day weekend.
“I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans,” he said.
“Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around,” he added. “In the meantime, I’m counting the days until I return to my home away from home at the Westgate Las Vegas for our Valentine’s weekend concerts on February 12-13-14 and throughout 2026. Something tells me that February weekend is going to be one big party.”
Jennifer Lawrence looked back on her days filming Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up and the challenges she went through.
The film was based on a dark comedy satire about two low-level astronomers, Dr Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), who discover a massive comet on a collision course with Earth.
While working on the movie, she seemingly had a tough time with her co-star Jonah Hill (Jason Orlean).
In conversation with Vanity Fair, she explained, “It was really, really hard filming with Jonah, and just not ruining take after take, laughing. We one-time dedicated an entire day to him just improve-ing insults at me. It was amazing.”
The Die My Love star went on to praise the actor’s talent for improv, adding that “He’s just a comedic master. I mean we all did some [improv] just not as well as Jonah.
Recalling a scene from the film, where Hill’s character tells Lawrence and DiCaprio to “Sit tight and assess.” The Hunger Games star admitted that it was an improvisation and not scripted, marvelling at his talent.
In addition to Lawrence, DiCaprio and Hill, the film also includes Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande and more.
The film was released on December 24, 2021, on Netflix.
Another prominent building in France has fallen victim to theft as silverware worth thousands of dollars was stolen from the Presidential Palace in Paris, months after the Louvre museum heist.
Authorities have caught the culprits, three men, who worked at the official residence of the French President, will stand trial next year for stealing silverware and a table worth between 15,000 to 40,000 euros.
The Élysée Palace’s head steward first reported the disappearance. Several of the missing items were spotted on an online auction website which led authorities to open an investigation.
The investigation team determined that one of the silver stewards was behind the theft and his records suggested that additional thefts were being planned.
Around 100 items were recovered from the steward, including a plate stamped “French Air Force” and “Severes Manufactory” ashtrays that are not available to the general public.
Two other suspects were arrested on Tuesday, December 16, and all the items were returned to Élysée Palace.
The culprits, charged with stealing movable property listed as national heritage, appeared in court on Thursday, December 18. They face up to 10 years in prison and a 150,000-euro fine.
The defendants are now placed under judicial supervision and the trail is postponed till February 2026.
