Kate Middleton and Prince William will be spending some much-needed quality time at Sandringham this Easter.The Prince and Princess of Wales left Adelaide Cottage in Windsor via helicopter on Saturday with their children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — to head towards Anmer Hall, located on the Sandringham Estate, Entertainment Tonight reports.Middleton, 42, revealed on Friday that she has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment after doctors discovered the cancer during her planned abdominal surgery.The family will spend Easter break at the estate, where they’re expected to see King Charles III, 75, who is also battling cancer.Understandably, the Waleses will stray from tradition this year by not joining the rest of the royal family for Easter services.Instead, they will spend the long Easter weekend together behind closed doors.Charles, for his part, is set to attend a small Easter service with family that’s set to be of much smaller scale than in previous years.It’s unclear if the entire family will unite for a publicized church service this year.Kensington Palace declined to comment.While initial palace guidance said that the Princess won’t return to royal duties until after Easter, it’s now been said that she won’t return to the royal fold until after she’s given the all clear by her doctors.“The Princess will return to official duties when she is cleared to do so by her medical team,” a palace spokesperson said following Middleton’s cancer announcement.“She is in good spirits and is focused on making a full recovery.”The mother-of-three had already stepped back from her duties after having the abdominal surgery in January for what she thought, at the time, was a non-cancerous
John Williams Faces His Legacy: 54 Oscar Noms, ‘Star Wars’ Mistakes and Changing the Movies Forever
06.03.2024 - 16:30 / variety.com
John Williams composed for his most famous cinematic hero, Indiana Jones. “As I often remind John, his music follows me everywhere I go — literally,” Ford says.
“When I had my last colonoscopy, they were playing it on the operating room speakers.” Creating those big, bold, brassy musical moments has become Williams’ trademark over his seven-decade career. Without his symphonic genius, some of the most indelible images in movie history — from E.T.’s flight across the moon to the ravenous shark zeroing in on an unsuspecting swimmer — would have lacked their singular power.
This year, Williams is resetting the record books again with his Academy Award nomination for best original score for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” It’s his 54th nomination, which is the most ever for someone not named Walt Disney, and thus the biggest tally for any living person — and any nonproducer, period. “People ask about a legacy,” Williams says as he sits in the Amblin screening room on the Universal lot, adjacent to his bungalow office.
“If I could be remembered as someone who did his job well and remembered as a good solid musician, I would rest very happily.” And even though he’s not ready to surrender the staff-lined paper and pencil with which he’s written his scores, Williams, 92, is also the oldest person to be nominated for an Oscar. Ask Williams what the 54 nominations mean to him, and he says, “Well, I’ve lost 49 of ’em, or something like that” — though for him the initial nods that come from the music branch are the main thing, because “the selection process is that of your peer group, and so their approval and appreciation is doubly meaningful.
