EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: If the King's course of care requires it, it is likely that he would stand in for him. And as we reported on March 7, she might be heading to France for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Unusual? Camilla's sole overseas visit since marrying the King in 2005 - to Paris in 2013. In the same way, Kate is a tumultuous solo overseas traveler. Edward and Sophie are often split up to broadcast the royal spotlight in foreign countries. Edward has visited South Atlantic, Uganda, and South Africa this year, while Sophie went to France and Switzerland. With a paucity of available personnel, are they the ideal duo to keep the flag flying overseas?

Heute, there are persistent allegations that the King is attempting to relocate his younger brother out of his royal Lodge - and that Prince Andrew is somehow holed up there, defying his tormentors. I am not positive this is the case. The Lodge, nestled in its own grounds in Windsor Great Park, is no longer the place of delight, particularly during the long years of the Queen Mother's widowhood, when it became a unique haven of entertainment.

At the Noel Coward Theatre on Monday, Cel Spellman sported a nasty black eye as he opened The Motive and the Cue.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: People who are either visitors or hosts are divided in life. Guests love someone else arranging everything and then participating in activities planned for them, while others are dissatisfied with being on someone else's timetable or in their space. I am, by nature, a visitor. I love going to other people's parties and not knowing who will be there. Or staying in their homes and having their schedule managed by them. Despite being the best of them in several regions, I am relieved to leave the catering to someone else.

RICHARD EDEN: Princess Diana's butler Paul Burrell may be wishing for a more happy life now that he has reached the age of 65. Alas, it appears, is going to be dissatisfied. Burrell, who has gained a reputation as a talented water colourist of animals and landscapes in recent years, is being confused by another artist who prefers a different subject matter - the male nude. 'It was signed "Paul Burrell" - bottom right, as you might imagine - and dated 2021,' I'm told by an art lover who recently saw a painting in the latter very distinctive category

ROBERT GORE-LANGTON: In 1964, John Gield directed Richard Burton as Hamlet on stage. Gield was a sarcastic, grand old actor of ubious fame. Burton was a boozy Welsh boyo superstar with a new wife, Liz Taylor, in tow. The result? Rehearsal room bickering, soaring bouts of Shakespeare, and a nascent Hollywood romance galore of the 1960s. You can even see Burton in his underpants, a first.

PATRICK MARMION: With the holidays disappearing into the rear-view mirror, and weeks more of bleak midwinter to survive, why not cheer yourself up by getting a few dates in your diary? 2023 seems to be a thrilling year for theatre, bucking the trend. Patrick Marmion's top advices are here. . .

When first published in 1967, Tory MP Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon's salacious diaries caused a stir. Their largely indiscreet findings into the great and the well-being of English society between 1918 and 1957 caused them to be banned. Despite being married to Lady Honor Guinness, the American-born politician yearned after both men and women, sharing a bed with his MP brother-in-law Peter Coats (who was posted on post-duty in India) and playwright Terence Rattigan, for whom he pulled strings to get out of RAF service. The last volume of the diaries begins near the end of the Second World War.

A day later, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to post photos of herself posing alongside the new trophy that had been added to her awards shelf at home. With the win, the London native now needs a Tony award to earn the coveted EGOT badge, which has been referred to as the 'grand slam' of show business.

No. 44 has previously won two Grammy Awards, and it could be on his way to becoming the 18th individual to win an EGOT - an acronym that stands for someone who has won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Jimmy Carter are among the recipients of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, succeeding three former presidents who have also been honoured with the award.

According to Emmys.com, Eminem's latest Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show earned an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special during the 2022 Creative Arts Emmys held in Downtown Los Angles. With the win, the illustrious hip hop star now needs a Tony award to earn the coveted EGOT status, also known as the 'grand slam' of show business. There have only been 17 artists in the history of entertainment that have won all four 'EGOT' categories: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
