Callum Turner, 33, who is dating Dua Lipa quit his marijuana addiction, semi professional football career and modelling to give his all to acting (and boy, is it paying off for the British heartthrob!)

Following a romantic dinner date at upmarket Japanese restaurant Sushi Park, the British heartthrob, 33, and the Levitating singer, 28, couldn't take their hands off each other, barely less than a fortnight after being romantically linked.

ALISON BOSHOFF: How Vanessa Kirby pipped rising star Andrea Riseborough to Princess Margaret role in The Crown

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 15, 2023
As The Crown comes to an end, writer Peter Morgan has been looking back at the origins of the mega-hit drama, following the final unveiling of its sixth series on Netflix this week. Even though she auditioned multiple times, he has already discussed almost overlooking Claire Foy, the young queen. Vanessa Kirby has also lost out on the role of Princess Margaret, as he says.

My night with the cast members: Vanessa Kirby's unquestionable casting smeared in fake tan reveals how she introduced two Princess Margarets - and how Diana may have been spotted out of two books

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 10, 2023
I've spent a lot of time with the Royal Family over the past decade. I've spent time with a few queens, enjoyed the odd Sunday lunch with a couple of Princess Margarets, and even had dinner with two Princess Dianas. My ties to royalty are largely due to my good friend, Peter Morgan, who is best known as the creator and writer of the television series The Crown. Peter and I have been friends for far too many years to count. And as The Crown has grown in popularity, I've often found myself in the company of some of the show's most gifted women whose performances have contributed to its success. It's culminated in some memorable experiences, including one in a London theatre bar where I introduced Vanessa Kirby - who played a pitch-perfect Princess Margaret in seasons one and two - to Helena Bonham Carter, who was the older Margaret in season three and four.

Napoleon's missing jewelry is reignited in this series: a search for a necklace and tiara worn by the empress during the 1804 imperial coronation

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 7, 2023
The glamorous empress' necklace and tiara (top right) were made and sold by Harrogate-based family jewelry company Ogden (shop front left) during the 1930s. However, no one knows where these opulent and historic pieces of jewellery are today. 'It would be really interesting to find out what happened to them,' co-owner Robert Ogden, who together with brother Ben is the fifth generation to lead the family business.' Josephine Bonaparte's diamond necklace was purchased in 1933 by their great uncle Captain William Ogden. The necklace was purchased at a 'price that was not revealed,' according to a newspaper cutting from the 22nd of that year, but it is estimated to run into thousands of pounds.' There is no photograph of the diamond necklace, but there is a beautiful tiara in Ridley Scott's biopic film that is also on display in cinemas around the country. It was adorned with 1,040 diamonds and weighed over 250 carats. The diamond tiara was said to have been made for Josephine - played by Vanessa Kirby (left, and inset with Joaquin Phoenix's Napoleon) on the big screen - for the imperial coronation of 1804

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: The hacked off head of a stolen statue has been found in the Earl of Pembroke's home

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 2, 2023
RICHARD EDEN: The head in question was raised from a mercifully inanimate body: that of a majestic marble statue of Bonus Eventus, Roman god of good fortune. It had been 6ft 6in tall before decapitation. And, it had been at Wilton for more than 20 years before being sold by the 15th Earl of Pembroke in 1961, the 8th Earl's demise in the 1700s. The police in Rome have been alerted by the city's distraught owners. However, the guy who cut off the head was never arrested; nor did the owners, the same family that bought it from Wilton, have any idea of the head's whereabouts. Until now.

See Napoleon's 1804 coronation in Notre-Dame up close: Moment French emperor crowns his wife Josephine is seen in CGI exhibition at Westminster Abbey which takes viewers back to when iconic cathedral was built in 12th century

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 27, 2023
Notre Dame's Notre Dame, France's since it was devastated by fire by fire in 2019 is shielded from public view with scaffolding as it undergoes a painful restoration. However, visitors to Westminster Abbey will soon be able to see it up close and personal, dating back to the 12th century's construction. Visitors will be able to view landmarks in the cathedral's history, including on the day of Napoleon's coronation in 1804. After being crowned himself, viewers will be able to see the moment the French emperor placed a crown on the head of his wife Josephine from February 1st next year. In Ridley Scott's latest film Napoleon, it is the same scene that was re-created by Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby. In 1600, the vibrant center of Paris will be on view, with Notre Dame standing majestically above every other building. Other clips will show the foundations of the cathedral being built in 1165 and the scene 15 years later, where significant progress had been made but construction was still underway

Napoleon was six years younger than Josephine - so why are they played by Joaquin Phoenix, 49, and Vanessa Kirby, 35?

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 26, 2023
Hollywood has been making films for as long as Hollywood has been producing films, it has produced on-screen couples with dubious age inconsistency. And Ridley Scott's latest £160 million epic, Napoleon, is no exception, with British director Joaquin Phoenix portraying French emperor Nicolas Kerby against 35-year-old Vanessa Kirby as his lover Josephine. Napoleon was six years younger than the woman who became his wife, making the 14-year difference all the more remarkable. Josephine was already a widow (her first husband was executed during the French Revolution) and a mother of two when they met. In fact, Josephine and Napoleon were four years old when they died about their ages, with Josephine kicking four years off and Napoleon adding 18 months, so they would appear on the marriage certificate at the same age. But Scott has gone even further in a film that has been chastised for its historical inaccuracies, such as incorrectly portraying the Frenchman blowing the top off the Pyramids.

Review of Napoleon's film: Joaquin Phoenix's film portraying the tyrannical French emperor is an epic that rivals Waterloo, writes BRIAN VINER

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 15, 2023
Brian Viner: Many great filmmakers have attempted to address Napoleon Bonaparte's life while also being thwarted by the company's overwhelming size. Charlie Chaplin and Stanley Kubrick were both defeated, and Sir Ridley Scott was defeated, as well. His most recent epic is full of delights. Some of the battle scenes are truly breathtaking, and Vanessa Kirby is portrayed admirably as the beguiling Josephine, Napoleon's second greatest love, after himself. However, Joaquin Phoenix in the title role puts on an enigmatic, mumbling appearance that has left you asking, even after two and a half hours, what makes Napoleon tick. We know he's a military genius. We're now know why he was crowned emperor.

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 13, 2023
I adore The Crown. I adore everything about it. The polished gallop through royal history, the inspired casting of Vanessa Kirby as Prince Margaret and Matt Smith, as well as creator Peter Morgan's ability to bring a living, breathing family, and packaging them as characters in a modern and thrilling soap opera. And yet, here we are at the start of the sixth and final season of the award-winning series, and I can't believe it.

HARDCASTLE, EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Sir Nicholas Coleridge, the nation's provost, has apologised after it was revealed that his remarks about preferring Etonians to others that had been unveiled by the newspaper were made nearly 40 years ago

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 13, 2023
Sir Nicholas Coleridge, Eton's provost-in-waiting, was accused of having soup for brains on social media for announcing that Etonians are preferred over others and that it "counts against" those who studied elsewhere. Coleridge, who takes over from William Waldegrave at the £50,000-per-year school next September, was chastised by his remarks in The Daily Telegraph. But it was the editorial boffins at the Telegraph who had red faces when it was revealed that his words, reaffirmed for the first time as he spoke about the school he loved, were made in 1988 for Danny Danziger's book 'Eton Voices'. Waldegrave told Old Etonians that he called the newspaper and it has apologized, adding: 'Sir Nicholas wants to make it clear that these remarks, which were made almost 40 years ago, do not represent his views.'
