Royal Displeasure and Hair Transformations: A Week in Review

In a recent incident, a trio received a terse response from an assistant private secretary, indicating royal displeasure. This comes in the wake of King Charles III's decision to shave off his hair before being invested as the Great Master of the Order of the Bath. Interestingly, the King chose to retain a Clark Gable-like moustache for the ceremony, a style that has since faded from popularity. The literary world mourns the loss of Susan Watt, a long-serving editor at Harper Collins, who passed away after a remarkable 44-year tenure editing works by best-selling author Bernard Cornwell, known for the Sharpe series. Her career, closely tied to Cornwell's success, highlights the significant impact of editorial guidance in the publishing industry. In entertainment news, Lily Collins is set to return to Netflix in "Emily in Paris," where she expresses her fascination with her character's evolving hairstyle. Collins shared her excitement about experimenting with different fringe styles, reflecting on how her character's look has developed over the seasons, stemming from a moment of creative inspiration. Meanwhile, at the Edinburgh Festival, actor Alan Cumming reminisced about a scathing review he received 40 years ago from journalist Andrew Marr. In a humorous twist, Cumming and his comedic partner, Barry, responded with a song that poked fun at Marr, suggesting that the critic's self-perception may not align with reality, a playful jab that likely stirred memories of their past encounters.
