    Royal Family issue key update ahead of Duchess of Kent’s funeral | Royal | News

    An online book of condolence for Katharine, the Duchess of Kent, has opened on the monarchy’s official website for the public to sign. Katharine, who died at the age of 92 on September 4, was married to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, the Duke of Kent.

    Members of the public wishing to pay their respects to the Duchess’s family can do so on the Royal Family’s official website, through the virtual condolence book. The virtual book of condolence opened on Tuesday, a week ahead of the duchess’s funeral, which will take place on September 16.

    The requiem mass at London’s Westminster Cathedral on September 16 will be the first Catholic funeral service staged for a member of the Royal Family in modern British history. In a significant move, the King, head of the Church of England, will attend, alongside the Queen and wider members of the family.

    Katharine became the first member of the Royal Family to convert to Catholicism for more than 300 years, doing so in 1994, and it was her wish to have her funeral at Westminster Cathedral. The Duchess will then be laid to rest at the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore in Windsor.

    Katharine, who died peacefully at her Wren Cottage home at Kensington Palace, was known for consoling losing Wimbledon finalists, notably a tearful Jana Novotna in 1993, and presented trophies at the championships for many years.

    She preferred to be known as Mrs Kent and dropped her HRH style, in 2002, retreating from royal life to spend more than a decade teaching music in a state primary school in Hull.

    In a rare interview, she once said: “I’ve studied music all my life, it’s my passion. My other passion is children. Being able to share and pass on your love of music to children is the greatest privilege.”

    Although the Duchess stepped back from royal duties, she did attend events to mark the Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

    The Duke and Duchess of Kent were also present at Prince William and Kate’s wedding in 2011 and the Sussexes’ nuptials in 2018.

    In June 2018, Katharine also went to the Grenfell Remembering Together service on the first anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.

    Her last public appearance was on the day of her husband’s 89th birthday last October, 2024.

  • Asia Centric: US Market, Economy Hit From Trump Era Still Looms

    Asia Centric: US Market, Economy Hit From Trump Era Still Looms

    For all the doomsaying about US President Donald Trump’s trade and economic policies, the world’s biggest economy has held up relatively well, at least on the surface. Markets are up, trade demand remains firm and the Federal Reserve is moving toward interest rate cuts, which could spur more activity.

    But Steven Okun, founder and CEO of APAC Advisors, warns that the worst is yet to come. Global exports that surged in the run-up to August’s reciprocal levies are cooling, the US labor market is slowing, and markets will react once the data confirms economists’ warnings, he says. Though the slew of global levies provides some clarity, questions remain over Trump’s motivations on trade policy and his tendency to upend matters with one social media post. Okun speaks with John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva from Singapore.

    Join us for Bloomberg’s Investment Management Summit in Singapore on Oct. 7, featuring leading investors, asset managers and experts, to unlock insights and strategies for geopolitical volatility, technology innovation and sustainable growth. Also catch John and Katia for a live episode recording with Matthew Michelini, head of Asia-Pacific at Apollo Global Management. See you there!

  • Christian Eriksen: Former Man Utd midfielder joins Wolfsburg

    Christian Eriksen: Former Man Utd midfielder joins Wolfsburg

    Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen has signed for Wolfsburg after leaving Manchester United at the end of last season.

    The 33-year-old joins the Bundesliga club on a contract that runs until the summer of 2027.

    Eriksen made 107 appearances and scored eight goals across three seasons at Old Trafford, helping United win the Carabao Cup in 2023 and FA Cup in 2024.

    “Wolfsburg is my first club in the Bundesliga – I’m really looking forward to this new adventure. I’m convinced we can achieve something together,” said Eriksen.

    “I immediately sensed that [Wolfsburg manager] Paul Simonis has a clear vision for the team and for me personally.

    “The fact that there are several familiar faces in the squad from the Danish national team makes Wolfsburg a particularly attractive proposition for me.”

    The playmaker, who suffered cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 and has also played for Brentford, Inter Milan, Tottenham and Ajax, had recently been training with Malmo after becoming a free agent.

  • Hannibal Creator Wants Zendaya to Star in Silence of the Lambs Series

    Hannibal Creator Wants Zendaya to Star in Silence of the Lambs Series

    The creator of Hannibal is envisioning a dream project that would star none other than Zendaya. 

    Series creator Bryan Fuller revealed in an interview with ScreenRant that his “dream project” would see the Challengers star in the leading role of Clarice Starling opposite Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter. 

    “My dream project is to do a limited series of Silence of the Lambs with Mads and Zendaya as Clarice Starling,” he said. “If I could put anything out into the universe, I would put that into the universe.”

    Both roles of Clarice and Hannibal were originated by Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, respectively, in Jonathan Demme’s 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs, an adaptation of Thomas Harris’ 1988 book of the same name. 

    The movie was a major winner at the 1992 Oscars, earning both Foster and Hopkins the Academy Awards for best leading actress and actor. Silence of the Lambs also won best picture, best director for Demme and best adapted screenplay. 

    Zendaya has quite a few projects in the works, and is gearing up for quite a stacked 2026 slate of releases. She’ll next be seen in the highly anticipated third season of Euphoria, the third Dune installment, Christopher Nolan’s next feature The Odyssey and the fourth Tom Holland-led Spider-Man film, entitled Brand New Day.

    Ridley Scott’s 2001 Hannibal film served as a sequel to the original Demme-directed movie. Hopkins returned to reprise his role while Julianne Moore joined to play Clarice. In Fuller’s 2013 Hannibal TV series, Mikkelsen took on the titular part while Clarice was absent from the storyline. 

    Fuller recently made his directorial debut with his new thriller Dust Bunny at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
