News about Charlie Chaplin

Princess Tatiana has revealed she has had a 'difficult year' after announcing her split with Prince Nikolaos and a later learning that her stepbrother had gone missing. In a new interview with Greek publication BHMagazino, the Greek royal, 44, admitted she had endured a 'difficult year' following the split from her husband of 14-years, made further worse by the terrifying disappearance of her stepbrother Attilio Brillembourg, 53. Tatiana, who was married to the Prince Nikolaos for 14 years, has admitted said she has had a year of 'uncertainty and pain'. The royal - a publicist and event planner - said that 2024 has been: 'a really difficult year for me, one of transition, full of moments of uncertainty and pain".

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Purchasing a copy of the late Queen's Launer handbag - £2,640 for the Traviata style at the Royal Collection shop - will not help solve the mystery of what HM kept in her ubiquitous accessory. But Admiral Lord West discloses what the Queen Mother kept in hers. Sitting next to her at dinner, a lady-in-waiting passed him the royal's purse after she had signalled her need of a handkerchief. Lord West opened the bag. 'It was completely empty,' he tells Radio 4.

Love is something that I live for,' declared the hip-hop mogul P Diddy when I plucked up the courage to ask about his unconventional ­private life. 'Love is something that I need. But I ­haven't been able to be successful at it.' The mood inside the luxury caravan where I was attempting to interview the 41-year-old father of six (by three different women) was in the process of becoming very chilly indeed. 'Is that why,' I continued, 'you've never decided to settle down and get married?'

Once frequented by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Charlie Chaplin - and even George Clooney more recently - Harry's Bar is one of the most famous bars in the Italian canal city. First opened in 1931, despite it being renown as the home of the Bellini and Carpaccio, its second branch which overlooks the Giudecca canal is gaining attraction for all the wrong reason. The bar is currently being inundated by waves from speeding boats that regularly go over the 11 km/h (6.8 mph) limit. Now, Arrigo Cipriani, 92, who is the son of the late Giuseppe Cipriani who founded Harry's in 1931, is taking action by suing Venice.

Lady Pamela Hicks has lived an extraordinary life. She was the late Queen's lady in waiting and friends with Gandhi. Now, after much coaxing, her daughter, India, has written a book all about it. Constance Craig Smith reviews this thoughtful collection of stories and pictures.

When her daughter India suggested that she should dust off her photograph albums, dig out her old letters and write a book about her life, Lady Pamela Hicks (pictured) asked: 'Who will be interested?' Fortunately, she allowed herself to be persuaded, and the result is a delightful book which records an era of vast stately homes, lavish house parties, thoroughbred horses and ball gowns. What gives this account added spice is that Pamela Hicks, now 95, is not only fantastically posh but has also been part of the Royal Family's inner circle all her life. The daughters of Earl Mountbatten of Burma and his rich, beautiful wife Edwina, Pamela and her elder sister Patricia were favourite playmates of their cousins, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret . Pamela was a bridesmaid at Elizabeth's wedding to Prince Philip (another cousin). (Pictured right, Queen Elizabeth II with Lady Hicks.)

Rebecca and Chris Judd have been enjoying a child-free getaway, splashing thousands on Indonesian resorts and island living. But now the Melbourne 'It Couple' have jetted off to Singapore to stay in the famous Raffles Hotel which has seen guests like Michael Jackson and Charlie Chaplin. The WAG took to Instagram on Friday to reveal the couple are staying in the Asian country for 24 hours while on their luxury getaway.

A historic cinema that was bombed by the Luftwaffe and left unrepaired for 83 years is finally getting a new roof. The National Picture Theatre, in Beverley Road, was bombed in a German air raid in 1941, but 150 customers inside survived. The cinema has been described by Hull City Council as one of Britain's last surviving civilian bomb-damaged buildings.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, few would have bet that privacy-conscious Prince Harry would end up spending his 40th birthday in ­Montecito, this gleaming Valhalla in Santa Barbara County for the rich and famous, this jewel on the American Riviera where another perfect summer is softly ­drawing to a close.

Nusrit applied to the Metropolitan Police . The candidates were told to wear a bra and knickers for the medical after the interview. Nusrit ignored this, and wore an all-in-one leotard and leggings. 'Take your top off and touch your toes,' said the doctor ('a white-haired old man', writes Nusrit in her memoir chronicling three decades of her experience of institutionalised racism and sexism in the Met)

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: She was once voted the world's 17th most eligible bachelorette, but I hear Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter Kiera (right) has a new leading man. The model, actress and skincare ambassador, 42, has gone public with her Swiss financier boyfriend Mauricio Safdie. They could be seen kissing in this picture she shared online of them on holiday with her family. 'He usually likes to be private,' Kiera tells me. 'We met through mutual friends in Switzerland.'

A luxury summer holiday is off the cards for me this year but a short break overseas is not. The kids are doing their own thing so I feel free to take a gamble on a last-minute bargain. With passport in hand and an open mind, I log on to the internet hoping to discover a cut-price option for the next day.

This adorable youngster has led a rollercoaster life in Hollywood - and become one of the most in-demand stars. Born in New York City to a famed filmmaker father and a actress mother, the future star would make his film debut aged just five in a 1970 movie.

In Modern Times (1936) Chaplin performs a song often referred to as The Nonsense Song. It has deliberately nonsensical lyrics, which are a mix of various languages and gibberish. When Chaplin sang the song, it was the first time an audience had heard his voice, since he had become famous in the days before 'talkies'. By singing nonsense he could embrace new sound technology but still appeal to those who liked films in which he said nothing.

A remarkable treasure trove of Charlie Chaplin's annotated typescripts, letters and photos is being sold by his goddaughter for £50,000. The scarce material was assembled by British publisher Max Reinhardt who published the comic actor's highly anticipated autobiography in 1964. The archive includes photos of Chaplin as well as letters from the actor himself and his wife Oona detailing his writing process and even a botched attempt to steal his coffin after his death. Mr Reinhardt and his wife Joan became close friends with the English actor, writing to each other regularly and they carefully kept hold of their correspondence. Proceeds of the sale will be donated to MaxLiteracy, a charity and educational initiative set up in his memory to stimulate literacy through the visual arts in partnership with museums, galleries and writers.

Yes, his coffin was stolen and held for ransom. In 1952 Charlie Chaplin paid a visit to Britain only to find that the U.S. attorney general had revoked his visa (he had never obtained U.S. citizenship) because of alleged Communist sympathies. Incensed, Chaplin vowed never to set foot in the U.S. again. He settled in Switzerland and died there on Christmas Day 1977 in the town of Corsier-sur-Vevey on the banks of Lake Geneva. One morning early in 1978, the local cemetery worker made a startling discovery: a muddy hole where Chaplin's coffin should have been. The Press speculated that a group of neo-Nazis, rabid anti-Semites or a crazed Englishman who wanted to repatriate Chaplin were responsible. Within a few days, the motive was revealed. The coffin was offered for a ransom of 600,000 Swiss francs.

As Prince Harry embraced his wife after winning a charity polo match in Florida on Friday he had more than one reason to celebrate. Less than 24 hours earlier, the Sussexes unveiled two new projects for streaming giant Netflix - a 'cooking and lifestyle' show for Meghan and, most intriguingly, a series about polo hosted by Harry which, it was claimed, 'will provide viewers with unprecedented access to the world of professional polo'. A statement released by Archewell Productions - the company set up by the couple in 2020 after they quit as senior royals and signed a reported £80 million five-year deal with Netflix - declared: 'Known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, the series will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level.'

When I was a child, Quosh was my go-to-goal drink. It was similar to squash but it was also cheaper, if you can imagine it. It was some sort of orange and lemon concoction, and it's all I would drink at home from about six o'clock onwards.

A wedding's contentious proposal for cocktail hour entertainment has sparked a lot of debate, and no one can pick a side. The woman has been searching for budget-friendly wedding decorations, and she said she recently won the lottery.

On Sunday, Robert Downey Jr. made history by scooping the Best Supporting Actor award at the 2024 British Academy Film Awards. When he accepted the award for his role as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, the Marvel legend set a new record for the longest gap between wins by any performer. It was his first appearance in 31 years. Robert's last BAFTA award came for his role as the silent movie genius Charlie Chaplin in the 1993 biopic of the same name, although he was nominated in 2009 for his role in Tropic Thunder.

They were one of his afternoon radio shows, snippets of trivia from around the world so bizarre that listeners were never quite sure if they were correct or false. These 'factoids' were such a hit feature that the legendary DJ, who died this week at the age of 69, that he wrote two books of his favorites, whether it was discovering the immense shoe size of a celebrity chef or revealing the name of the film with the first flushing toilet.
