The answer is so obvious we’re not even going to bother.Yes, Clive Davis’ 90th birthday party, held Wednesday night at the memorably named Cipriani South Street at Casa Cipriani in Lower Manhattan, was truly one for the ages.

Royal family feud? Prince Charles didn’t see eye to eye with Queen Elizabeth II when it came to Prince Andrew‘s presence at the late Prince Philip‘s memorial.

Prince arguing for better pay for teachers when he was 11 years old has made its way onto the internet – watch it below.The rare footage – filmed in 1970 – was discovered in the archive room of Minneapolis television station WCCO by production manager Matt Liddy, who was searching the archives in order to place the teacher’s strike that took place in the same earlier this year into better context.According to Stereogum, once Liddy came across the footage, he “immediately just went out to the newsroom and started showing people and saying, ‘I’m not gonna tell you who I think this is, but who do you think this is?'”WCCO then brought in a specialist to restore audio to the footage, and they tracked down a local historian and a childhood friend of Prince’s to confirm that the child in the footage was indeed Prince.In the video, a young Prince is seen being interviewed about the Minneapolis teacher’s strike that occurred in 1970. “I think they should get a better education too cause, um, and I think they should get some more money cause they work, they be working extra hours for us and all that stuff,” he says.You can watch the short clip of Prince below:Meanwhile, Prince’s 1985 live concert film Prince and The Revolution: Live is set to be remastered for a new reissue.The late artist’s gig at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York on March 30, 1985, which was part of the ‘Purple Rain Tour’, was broadcast live internationally via satellite at the time, and was later released as Prince and The Revolution: Live.The singer’s estate has now partnered with Legacy Recordings to release a remastered reissue of the film, which will be available on vinyl (3xLP), CD (2xCD), Blu-ray and streaming services for the first time.

WCCO Minneapolis recently struck gold when an employee went to pull archival footage for a story about local teacher’s strike.

The royal family gathered together at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday 29 March, to remember and celebrate the life of the late Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip sadly passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99, and in order to mark the upcoming first anniversary a special memorial was held.

Prince Andrew stood “defiant” at Prince Philip’s memorial service on Tuesday despite appearing to be ignored by some members of his family, a body language expert has said. The Duke of York attended the ceremony held at Westminster Abbey with the Queen, and the appearance marked his first official outing since it was announced he would be stepping back from public life amid his civil sexual assault. Andrew was accused of sexual assault by Virginie Giufffre.

A rare public outing. Prince Andrew attended a memorial service for his late father, Prince Philip, with his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Kate Middleton appeared to tell daughter Princess Charlotte to 'shh' during Prince Philip's memorial service.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the memorial service for the late Duke of Edinburgh this morning alongside two of their children – Princess Charlotte, six, and Prince George, eight.

Today almost 2000 special guests have gathered at Westminster Abbey to remember Prince Philip. After his funeral was restricted by Covid-19 laws in place last year – which left Her Majesty, 95, sat alone – those who were unable to attend have come together to pay their respects. The day marked the first public outing by Prince Andrew since he settled out of court with Virginia Giuffre, after being accused of sexual assault – which he has denied.
