News about Christopher Tolkien

Priscilla Tolkien (left), a woman who fiercely guarded her father's (right) Lord Of The Rings legacy, died earlier this year at the age of 92. However, recently published probate papers reveal that the academic left an estate worth £10 million to the Tolkien heirs. She never married or had children, and, in large part, remained largely unknown, as did the majority of her reclusive relatives. She was, nevertheless, a vocal defender of her father's ancestory and played a key role in navigating his obscure yet lucrative estate. It comes after her brother Christopher Tolkien, a well-known Oxford scholar and the uncle of The Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien, died at the age of 95 in 2020. He was also a guardian of his father's posthumous works, editing texts such as The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth. Last November, it was revealed that he had left a £2.4 million fortune to his wife and three children.

Ema Horvath has revealed that she was playing alongside an all-star cast in Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power was like 'going back to her theatre company days.' In the much-anticipated Amazon Prime series, the actress, 28, will appear as Eärien, a lady of the Second Age. Horvath said she learned a lot about acting from her co-stars when speaking directly to MailOnline at the world premiere of the series in London.

On Tuesday, Sir Lenny Henry cut a suave figure as he arrived in London for the world premiere of Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. With his black tuxedo, the 64-year-old actor commemorated the debut of the $450 million Amazon Prime Video collection at Leicester Square. Henry portrays Sadoc Burrows, one of J.R.'s, in the series. Tolkien's most popular little hobbits.

Morfydd Clark was one of the first people to arrive on Tuesday at the star-studded world premiere of Amazon Prime Minister Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in London. In a silver figure-hugging frock, Vivienne Westwood's custom made for her, the 32-year-old appeared nothing less glamorous as she joined Minnie Driver and Nazanin Boniadi at the coveted event. In the current series, Morfydd plays a teenage Galadriel, which earned an incredible $450 million budget and was based on J.R.R.'s script. The Silmarillion, Tolkien's book of origin stories, is about Tolkien.

On Tuesday, Morfydd Clark, the new Galadriel, appeared in court in Manhattan, wearing black strapless top, matching pants, and pumps selected by stylist Nicky Yates.

I (pictured), A.N. Wilson (left) and with partner Katherine in 1983, when I first became acquainted with Katherine as an undergraduate at Oxford. She was a Fellow of Somerville College, ten years older than me. At 19, I was vaguely considering becoming a Catholic priest and that summer had arranged a stay at the Birmingham Oratory, a Catholic priest community established in 1849 by John Henry Newman. When I told Katherine that this was a problem, she rang the Brum phone number of her mother. When you leave the Oratory, you may ring me if you like.' The Birmingham Oratory is evidently thriving today. In 1970, it did not appear to be on its last legs.
