Netflix is raising their rates... AGAIN, and people are somehow blaming Meghan and Harry despite Netflix signing SEVERAL multi-million dollar contracts for many years prior to signing their contract with the Sussexes. Let's dissect the ridiculousness.
The Ethiopian government will reportedly be demanding that King Charles return "immoral" artifacts that have been kept in Britain since the 1868 Battle of Magdala.
Per a report published by The Telegraph on Friday, Jan. 24, officials in Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa will be pushing for the return of items from the Royal Collection as well as treasures kept elsewhere in the United Kingdom, such as the British Museum. The items kept by the King are sacred to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, per the outlet, which also notes that the government in the United Kingdom will be asked to support Ethiopia's push for the items' return next year.
The Ethiopian Heritage Authority will lead the move for the return of the items alongside the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, according to The Telegraph.
EXCLUSIVE: The memoir of a choreography teacher who secretly taught Princess Diana to dance is to be turned into a 90-minute feature documentary.
Canadian producer-distributor Sphere Media has secured rights to Anne Allan’s ‘Dancing with Diana: A Memoir‘ and will co-produce it with Alan Clements’ Glasgow-based Two Rivers Media. Sphere Abacus, the sales arm of Sphere, will shop the doc internationally. It’s early days for the project so no network or streamer is attached yet.
Scottish-Canadian dancer and London City Ballet mistress Allan was the late Princess Diana’s dance teacher, and co-choreographed her ‘Uptown Girl’ routine at London’s Royal Opera House, which she surprised Prince Charles with in 1985. Allan’s memoir, which recounts the performance, was released last year.
