Prince William leaves his loved job

Prince William leaves his loved job

Since Prince William is bound to take the throne eventually, he is taking on more duties and thus there are things he has to give up, and one of them is his much loved job. William, 34, the second-in-line to the throne, will also base his family in London rather than their current address in Norfolk, eastern England.

Said job was the Prince's position as a helicopter pilot for the East Anglia Air Ambulance since 2015. While he said his experience with them had been a huge privilege, his official duties.

In a statement released to the press, Prince William stated: Following on from my time in the military, I have had experiences in this job I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and that will add a valuable perspective to my royal work for decades to come.

Before becoming a search and rescue helicopter pilot, William served in Britain's armed forces from 2006 until 2013. Thereafter he started his career as an air ambulance helicopter pilot with the East Anglia Air Ambulance near his home.

He added, I would like to thank the people of East Anglia for being so supportive of my role and for letting me get on with my job when they have seen me in the community or at our region's hospitals.

The new change of address is an opportunity for William and Kate to take over a few more official duties, including the patronage of some of the organizations that the Queen is not taking on anymore.

The queen, who is already 90 years old, has reduced significantly the number of official engagements she is in charge of and announced that she would step down as patron of a number of organizations.

Apart from William, those duties are being passed on to son and heir Prince Charles and other members of the royal family.

His office said in a statement that the prince would leave his job in the summer and move his wife Kate and children George 3, and Charlotte 1, from Anmer Hall, their country mansion on the queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, to Kensington Palace, their official London residence.

While William's family will be moving into Kensington Palace, they will keep the Amner Hall home.

The statement said: As they have in recent years, their royal highnesses are keen to continue to increase their official work on behalf of the queen for charities and causes they support, which will require great spent in London.

Another reason for the change of address was the fact that young Prince George will be starting school in London he had to move closer to his family in London.

As the statement said: Prince George will begin school in London in September and Princess Charlotte will also go to nursery and eventually school in London as well.

Elton John to co-write Devil Wears Prada Musical

The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Elton John will work with playwright Paul Rudnick on an adaptation of the hit fashion comedy. The musician has been chosen to co-write the music of The Devil Wears Prada musical for Broadway.

With such an explosive duo with such great experience, expectations are high for the musical. This is not the first musical for Elton John; he has worked in great productions which include hits like The Lion King and Billy Elliot. Considering Rudnick's previous work, we can expect a great dosage of humor in this new musical; some of his work include plays such as Jeffrey and I Hate Hamlet and his screen work in includes Addams Family Values.

Re-imagining The Devil Wears Prada for the musical is super exciting, John said in a statement. I'm a huge fan of both the book and the feature film and a huge aficionado of the fashion world. I can't wait to sink my musical teeth into this hunk of popular culture.

Fox State Productions, a company created in 2013 to create musicals based on Fox Films, has been producing the stage version of the popular film and best-seller book since 2015. Fox Stage Productions is also developing other projects such as Mrs Doubtfire and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

The 2006 film was based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, which was said to have been inspired by Weisberger's sting as an assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

The story portrays the fashion magazine world where a tyrannical editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by the Oscar-nominated Meryl Street, makes life difficult for assistants - played by Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt - with outrageous demands. The story is told from Andrea's perspective - played by Ann Hathaway - who is a small-town girl fresh out of college who finds a job in New York City, has to learn about the high-powered fashion magazine world while trying to cope with all the demands her new boss imposes on her.

The film was such a commercial success - making $326m worldwide when the cost was $35m - that fans expected there would be a sequel based on the book's follow-up Revenge Wears Prada.

According to Variety, John's husband David Furnish is the CEP of one of the production companies that are taking the musical to the stage.

The film that stars Meryl Streep is also credited for introducing the actress with most Oscar nomination to the younger generation. Despite Streep's character being bossy and demanding, she conquered the hearts and minds of all those who watched the movie.

There's no definite date for the Musical yet but it is one of the many upcoming movie-to-theatre musicals adaptations coming to Broadway. Some of the most notable films that are making to Broadway are the popular French masterpiece Amelie, and the film that caused the Let it go sensation, Frozen. There are also rumors that La La Land musical will also make an appearance in Broadway. This wouldn't surprise many considering it is already a musical and it has swept clean all the award ceremonies this year.

Federer wins the Australian Open

Federer wins the Australian Open

Swiss professional tennis champion, Roger Federed, beat Spanish champion Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open for 18th major. The clash was an extraordinary comeback for the duo who have just recovered from injuries and are now older than most opponents.

I don't think either one of us believed we were going to be in the finals at the Australian Open... four, five months ago, and here we stand in the finals, Federer said.

That surprising victory made the Swiss player very happy, but the same cannot be said about Nadal: This is beautiful, but it's still much better, the (other) trophy, he said as he looked sadly at the runner-up trophy.

This victory for Federer was a payback for losing to Nadal back in the 2009 Australian Open final in five sets and he is going to celebrate big time. We are going to party like rock stars, he said.

He added: Emotions poured out of me. Of course I was seeing my entire support team, (wife) Mirka going bananas. It was cool.

This is the first time Nadal loses to Federer at a grand slam since Wimbledon in 2007. He was 7-2 in grand slam finals against his friend and 23-11 overall.

Tennis great and current Australian Open Men's Champion Roger Federer took time from his celebrations and answering questions about his possible retirement to salute his former coach, who helped him make it to the top.

Peter Carter was the Swiss tennis star's coach who tragically died in a car accident in South Africa just before Federer's 21st birthday.

Federer said: Peter Carter had the biggest impact on me in terms of my technique. That's what so many people talk about.

He added: When they talk about my effortless style and technique, I guess. I was able to perfect in later in my life, but he set the foundation, and that's why I'm so happy that his parents were at the finals yesterday and saw me win.

That really meant a lot to me.

Federer also praised his other Australian coach, Tony Roche: Rochey, like every coach I've had, took me to the next level.

He made me work extremely hard. I like the old-school work ethic that Rochey brought to the table. He had a winning mentality and every day we had together was a great one. It was definitely something special with Peter and Rochey.

The Swiss professional tennis player who is ranked as number 10 by the Association of Tennis Professionals also spoke about his ties to Australia as it all started there for him.

I won my first match maybe against Michael Chang here (Australia) back in 2000, he said. I go way back. Always loved coming here.

Despite the outcome of the match, Nadal said he'll away away from Melbourne in good spirits.

I believe that if I have my body in the right conditions, I can have a great year because I feel I am playing well, said Nadal, who was bidding for a first major since 2004.

I am with big personal satisfaction, Nadal said. I cannot say I am sad.

Dame Helen Mirren stands up for women

Dame Helen Mirren stands up for women

Dame Helen Mirren is one of the best British actors of our time. She is one of the very few actors who have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting - a term used in the American entertainment industry to describe actors who have won a competitive Academy Award (2007), Emmy Award (1996) and Tony Award (2015) in the acting categories.

Despite her talent and success, she has had to go through the sexism that characteristic of show business. However, Helen Mirren has been brave and has been fighting against sexism for decades. The most notable case is when the actress appeared on her first-ever talk show, Parkinson, hosted by Michael Parkinson. The sexist questioning she had to endure may be outrageous, but it reflects what female celebrities tend to endure when dealing with the media.

Parkinson introduces Helen in a chilled-out tone: The critics spend as much time discussing her physical attributes as assessing her acting ability. Then he quotes reviewers who have described the member of the Royal Shakespeare Company as a sex queen who possesses a sluttish eroticism.

Then he goes on to ask: do you find that what could be best described as your equipment in fact hinders you perhaps in that pursuit?

When she inquires about her equipment, he tries to avoid to answer but then admits he was referring to her figure or bosom.

Mirren asks him if serious actresses can't have big bosoms, and then he responds, I think that might sort of detract them from the performance if you know what I mean.

But then Dame Helen burned him: I can't think that can necessarily be true. I mean what a crummy performance if people are obsessed with the size of your bosom or anything else. I would hope that the performance and the play and the living relationship between all the people on the state and all the people in the audience overcome such boring questions.

But she has stood up for women over decades:

Women have got to stop being polite. If I ever had children, which I don't, the first thing I'd teach a girl of mine is the words ‘f- off.' At 70 years old, if I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would to use the worlds ‘f- off' much more frequently.

You can't control how other people see you or think of you. And you have to be comfortable with that.

I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, ‘Is this a world you want to live in?' They would say, ‘No'

Fear can be one of the most destructive emotions. It is, of course, also very important, in that fear sometimes stops you from doing stupid things. But it can also stop you from doing creative or exciting or experimental things. It can cloud your judgement of others, and lead to all kinds of evil. The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings in our lives.

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

40 is good, 50 is great, 60 is fab and 70 is f- awesome.

It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It's then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult - but you are not ready.

The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It's a world that needs women.

When you're young and beautiful, you are paranoid and miserable.

You write your life story by the choices you make.
