News about Natascha McElhone

Penny, also known as Countess Mountbatten of Burma, was Philip's carriage driving companion and featured in series five of Netflix's (right) starring British actor Natascha McElhone. Jonathan Pryce (inset) said he had no previous knowledge of the pair's friendship, which made him believe the 'British press was clearly orchestrated into suppressing these reports.' "The first thing I learned about him was the fact he told me the way he wanted to reveal and discuss this relationship with Penny Romsey." In 2009, Penny and Philip were pictured together.

DEN CONFIDENTIAL: So entwined has his life has been linked to the Royal Family that his earliest memory is of being taken into see Queen Elizabeth when she visited his parents' house in the late 1950s. She had cradled him in her arms by then, not least at his christening, where she became his godmother. Despite this close family ties, despite the fact that Her Majesty was laid to rest in St George's Chapel, the Earl of Carnarvon (pictured) will not be in Westminster Abbey on Saturday. Rather, 'Geordie', as the Queen always called him, and his partner, Fiona, will watch the proceedings from afar, most likely at Highclere Castle, the spellbinding family seat which gained global fame after the hit ITV drama Downton Abbey was shot there. The Countess announces that the service will be broadcast,' ensuring that everyone is kept up.' 'We are not there - new king, new way of doing stuff,' she says, adding that such innovations are 'the right thing to do.'

Sarah Vine suggests watching ITV's Hotel Portofino, which she describes as pure escapism. All the elements of a good period drama are present: the casual arrogance and cruelty of the British aristocracy, unbridled love, marital strife, but instead of being set in a gloomy stately home on a rain-lashed moor, the event takes place on the Italian Riviera. Meanwhile the cast includes Natascha McElhone (right) as Bella Ainsworth

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Has Harry's betrayal of family secrets in Spare thrown a spanner in the works of the official biography of the late Queen? William Shawcross's life of the Queen Mother was given complete access to her personal papers in Windsor's Royal Archives for the last such assignment. With a shortlist of potential biographers assembled by Buckingham Palace, it will be impossible for any Royal Boswell not to deal with the Sussex story and quote from personal correspondence and diaries, which may bring on internal conflicts across the pond. Shawcross's opus took six years to finish, so no official history of the Queen will appear in a hurry. But has Harry's so-called truth further postponed the story of the monumental life of his grandmother? Former cabinet secretary Lord Andrew Turnbull debunks King Charles' pledge to donate the proceeds from a £1 billion-a-year Crown Estate wind farm deal "for the greater public interest." It's not his money to give, he says, implying that King George III sold the Crown Estate surplus to the Exchequer in exchange for a set amount. These figures haven't been the King's to be distributed for more than 250 years,' the peer claims. 'It's part of a complex scheme to give the public and Parliament the impression that the sovereign grant was paid for out of the monarchy's own funds rather than taxation.' There goes your invitation to the Coronation, Andy! Natascha McElhone, pictured, is more proud of the book she wrote about the loss of her 43-year-old husband Martin in 2008 than she is of her acting. 'It's there for my kids if they want to know exactly what it was like for me,' the mother-of-three tells Radio Times, referring to After You: Letters Of Love, And Loss,

The insider has rated the forthcoming series as'republican fiction,' which is reported to have implied that Prince Philip was 'pursuing an affair' with Penny Knatchbull.' An acquaintance of the family, who has yet to watch the series air next month, told The Telegraph: "It is one thing for a script to be drivel, and another to be so cruel." I think they've shot themselves in the foot more than with this, but for the majority, it will simply pass them by.'

GUY ADAMS: Indeed, nearly all of his most popular films and television shows, which have received a sackful of Golden Globes, Baftas, and Emmys, as well as being twice nominated for an Academy, delve without permission into some people's most personal and private moments. Take The Crown, his most profitable venture, which will debut at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, early next month. Morgan neither requested nor received King Charles' consent before deciding to desecrate our entire monarchy on this so-called "fictional dramatization," which inaccurately portrays our new king as a self-serving and disloyal man. Both Charles and William were allowed to veto a number of graphic scenes depicting wholly made-up events. A particularly bad example comes from Morgan's creation of a conversation in which the late Prince of Wales tells his late mother'that if we were an ordinary family and social services came to visit, they would have taken us into care, and you [the Queen] into prison.'

Queen Consort Camilla, a self-confessed literature lover, arrived at the Roundhouse this evening to present the award and chat with British actress Natascha McElhone (left) who plays Penny Knatchbull in the forthcoming series The Crown.

On a day out in London, Natascha McElhone became close to actor Sule Rimi (left), who has found love again 14 years after her husband Martin Kelly's sudden death (right). Mr Kelly, a plastic surgeon, was just 43 when he collapsed outside the couple's London home in May 2008. He was rushed to the hospital, but he died of heart disease the day after their tenth wedding anniversary.

Natascha McElhone, a British actress, was pregnant with her third child when her then husband, plastic surgeon Martin Kelly, died of a heart attack on the doorstep of their London home at the age of 43. Lauren/Sylvia, a single mother of three who first appeared in The Truman Show alongside Jim Carleton in 1998, was left reeling by the tragedy, but her three children, Otis, Theo, and Rex (with whom she was pregnant when Martin died), have all been hired, and she has seen her hard work pay off with increasingly larger roles coming her way.

Historical historians caution that if scenes of pomp and pageantry attract the attention of the world to Britain, it could be a lost chance to wield the monarchy's'soft power.' The Queen's state funeral attracted visitors to London and Windsor, and the Coronation may have boosted tourism in London and Windsor. The Coronation, which is set to take place next year, may be a much-needed celebration after a winter marred by the cost of living and the civil war in Ukraine, according to historian Andrew Roberts. However, King Charles is expected to favour a shorter service to honor his aspirations for a slimmed-down, modern monarchy, while still retaining some of the drama and dignity that accompanied the queen's funeral.
