When the British press reported on this, they turned it into the equivalent of an international incident.”The now-King asked Streisand what kind of tea she was drinking, which turned out to be Constant Comment.“I couldn’t think of anything else to say, and I’m so work oriented that I was feeling guilty about all those musicians who were waiting for me to get on with the session,” she wrote.

That’s why the rift with the royal family is as deep as it is, for all of the reasons that we know.”“You can’t trust them. They could decide to do this, they could decide to do that, and they are so unpredictable,” he added.Fitzwilliams said that if the “Suits” alum was to release a memoir of her own, “it wouldn’t be possible to release such a book without it being sensational, and that could cause enormous problems.”The royal expert claimed that the pair’s attacks on the royals “adversely affected the value of their brand” — something they will “seriously need to take into consideration.”The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a lucrative four-book deal with Penguin Random House in 2021.“Harry won’t be reconciling with the royal family any time soon by the looks of things,” Fitzwilliams shared.

“My Name Is Barbra” Tuesday, the EGOT winner, 81, says she’s finally ready to make up for the years she spent not enjoying life to its full extent.“I want to live life,” Streisand told BBC. “I want to get in my husband’s truck and just wander, hopefully with the children somewhere near us.”“Life is fun for me when they come over.

Our subsequent initial make-out session was in the back of a really messy Toyota (to think I’d spent all that money on fancy cars and here I was in the backseat of a tan Corolla),” he recalled.

audio excerpt from her upcoming memoir “My Name Is Barbra,” Streisand detailed how she was mockingly labeled when she first began her Hollywood career in the early 1960s.Among the names she was called were “an amiable anteater, a sour persimmon, a furious hamster, a myopic gazelle, and a seasick ferret.”Despite the “Yentl” star feeling somewhat flattered by the words, she is “still kinda hurt by the insults” years later.When she appeared in the hit 1964 Broadway musical “Funny Girl,” her star quality rose to new heights and the media went from describing her as a weird animal to more statuesque monikers like “Babylonian queen” with a “pharaonic profile.”“I must say, I loved those descriptions,” she joked in her book, adding that she was told she had “scarab eyes.” While Streisand believed the phrase was a flattering remark at first, she revealed that “one of those eyes does look, well, a little cross-eyed at times.” “[I] can’t quite believe the praise,” she penned.
