However, the actor said he did not have to be a woman because he adores being a gay man." 'I was a very shy, quiet child,' Everett said on the Rosebud podcast. I loved being in cupboards. I was a good cross-dresser, I'd be a woman if this was today because I took one of my mother's discarded skirts and wore it, pretending to be Julie Andrews' daughter.'

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: With invitations sent for Duke of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor's wedding, a society guessing game is emerging as to whether Harry will attend the function in June. If he does, it will be the first time he and William were under the same roof since their father's coronation. Grosvenor, 33, is staying stable, enjoying a positive relationship with both, leaving it up to them to handle their family drama. However, the home team could have a leg up on the others. On the big day in Chester Cathedral, the Duke is godfather to Prince George, who may also be a page boy.

Last year, Patrick Spens had a snapshot of the iconic nanny painted on the roof of his house in Earls Court, but Kensington and Chelsea Council have threatened enforcement action.

Julie Andrews revealed that she has been asked'so many times' about the fate of the beloved Princess Diaries franchise starring Anne Hathaway, 41. It has been 20 years since Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement captivated theaters and delighted followers, and a new installment of the series has long been talked about. In fact, rumors of a third installment of the franchise started making the rounds in 2016, and Meg Cabot, the author of the book, gave her blessing on a third film in 2017. But it has been seven years since then, and the entertainment industry has been plagued by the global COVID-19 pandemic and the SAG-AFTRA strikes.

I can't be certain.'

Bert the chimney sweep's iffy promises have been discovered by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) for something even more offensive than Bert the chimney sweep's iffy promises. The BBFC has confirmed that the Disney classic, one of the most popular and lucrative children's films ever made, will be re-released to mark its 60th anniversary, and that it will be rated to a 'PG'. Which means our little cherubs will now enjoy Jane and Michael Banks' adventures and their nanny, whose immortally played by Julie Andrews, only within the confines of 'parental guidance.'

It's been 60 years since Mary Poppins was released. However, this week, it was revealed that the film's classification had undergone significant reforms - the children's movie's age rating was changed from U to PG by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). Despite the film enthralling generations of youngsters, the BBFC has rated Julie Andrews' magical nanny's 1964 story to be unsuitable for children to watch alone. The reclassification was owing to the use of the word Hottentots, which was traditionally used by Europeans to describe the Khoekhoe, a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but the BBFC's assertion that they can help families 'choose properly' by giving information on what's right for them and what's not.' MailOnline takes a look at what happened to Mary Poppins' cast members in the wake of the news.

The age rating for Mary Poppins has been updated from U to PG today, according to the publication because it uses 'discriminatory words.' Despite the film enchanting generations of children, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has revised the 1964 tale of Julie Andrews' magical nanny to be unsuitable for children to watch alone. According to the university, the change was due to the use of the word Hottentots. The word "dated" was traditionally used by Europeans to refer to a group of nomadic herders in South Africa, but it is now considered racially insensitive. The BBFC's recommendation was made to families by assisting them in choosing what's right for them and "what's not." Users have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to broadcast their dissatisfactions, with some on the 'woke' aspect of the swift film classification transition.

Over the years, I've interviewed many people I didn't like and, more often than not, having met and talked to them changed my mind completely. Simon Cowell was the most popular example. I didn't like what he stood for in the music business. I thought he promoted mediocrity through the so-called reality show for which I have absolute contempt. That belief remains tenacious, and yet, when I interviewed him, I was struck by his honesty, his ability to joke at himself, and his adoration. I felt like taking him home and adopting him, right with Geoffrey Boycott; left with Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison).

DEBORAH ROSS: As we'd say, Queen Charlotte is an origins tale, we'd say, and although the first series of Bridgerton was great and sexy, and the second was Mills & Boon-ish and not so sexy, this is more sexy, but it's more than that, as it continues to be developed late in the six episodes - it's more sexy. At the end, I cried, but I am not ashamed to admit it. Except that I am. A little.
