Prince Philip Has Been Released From The Hospital
He’s done it! Prince Philip has cheated death once again. NBC News reports that Prince Philip has been discharged from the hospital where he was being treated for still being alive at 99 years old, and is back at Buckingham Palace. Don’t worry, Phil and Death go way back, so Death’s not tripping. One time, back during the Norman Conquest, Philip cheated Death out of an entire sack of silver Edward the Confessor ha-pennies during a game of Maw using a loaded deck. The hand-painted human rawhide cards Philip slipped in there were so obviously fake, Death had to laugh! They actually have a lovely friendship #relationshipgoals #deathismycopilot.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Got Legally Married At Their Big Public Ceremony (UPDATE: Buckingham Palace Released A Statement)
We learned about 1,946 things from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah. And with all that interview content comes about 1,946 updates, corrections, clarifications, and unsolicited reviews from cocktail salespeople. We already have Oprah’s clarification that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip weren’t Harry’s family members who were more obsessed with color than Sherwin-Williams. Now we’ve got a correction from Harry and Meghan, who would like you to know that the super-secret wedding they had three days before their official wedding, wasn’t a legal one. Also, we’ve got a clip rescued from the CBS cutting room floor, in which Meghan talks about privacy.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Really Did Tell All During Their CBS Interview With Oprah
Last month, when writing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey for CBS, I joked that the Royal Family didn’t have to stress, because the biggest, most exclusive revelation to come out of that no-holds-barred interview would probably be about latte preference. Much to the chagrin of the Royal Family and their die-hard fans, Oprah’s interview aired last night. And the reality of the situation is that today I’m on hold with my doctor discussing pain management for muscle strain. Because much like Oprah, my jaw was dropped for the entire 2-hour interview. Just call them the Duke and Duchess of Sussexposing The Firm.
Buckingham Palace Swears Queen Elizabeth Never Blocked A Law That Would Expose How Wealthy She Is
You can find out the estimated net worth of just about anyone famous, thanks to the internet. It’s not 100% accurate of course, but it does help you to understand if someone is rich or rich rich. We all know Queen Elizabeth is rich rich, because being born into royalty will do that to a person. But if you want to know exactly how many coins The Queen has tucked away in her perfectly color-coordinated handbag, well you’re shit out of luck. A proposed law from the 1970s would have exposed The Queen’s personal wealth, but it never passed. And now Buckingham Palace is denying that The Queen was responsible for a shady cover-up back in the day.
Netflix Says It Will NOT Add A Fiction Disclaimer To “The Crown”
Netflix has come to a decision about that fiction disclaimer Britain’s Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden, wanted them to attach to their series The Crown. Variety says that while British cultural institutions don’t appreciate the dramatization of the Royal Family, they will have to deal with it. Netflix is going to show The Crown without a disclaimer.
Helena Bonham Carter Says “The Crown” Should Stress To Viewers That It’s Fiction
The Crown’s fact vs. fiction controversy continues. Since the fourth season premiered on Netflix, fans of the monarchy have voiced their fear that the show is damaging to the Royal Family’s reputation, which, as we all know, was previously impeccable. Critics include The Daily Mail, “sources” close to the Royals, and Britain’s Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden. Oliver thinks Netflix should add a “this is a work of fiction” disclaimer before each episode. Now Helena Bonham Carter, who portrays Princess Margaret on the show, has added her two cents pence. She told the show’s official podcast that there was an important distinction between “our version”, and the “real version”.
