Prince Harry may not be in contact with his niece and nephews after exiting the royal family, but the children surely hold a special place in his heart.

The Duke of Sussex, who is not on speaking terms with his brother Prince William, previously made a heartwarming remark about Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Prince Harry is currently fifth in the line of succession, pushing his position three slots further after his elder sibling and heir, William, welcomed his three children with wife Kate Middleton.

When asked about his rank in the royal family by royal biographer Angela Levin back in 2017, the Duke gave a sweet response.

“The reason I am now fifth is because of my nephew and niece and I could never wish them away,” Harry said at the time. “They are the most amazing things ever.”

Elsewhere in the interview, he also expressed hopes for children of his own, sharing that he was “determined to have a relatively normal life and if I am lucky enough to have children, they can have one too.”

He continued, “We don’t want to be just a bunch of celebrities but instead use our role for good.”

Harry went on to welcome Prince Archie in 2019 and Princess Lilibet in 2021, following his marriage to Meghan Markle in 2018.

Meanwhile, in recently resurfaced photos after Archie’s birth, Prince William and Kate’s children appeared to share similar affection for their uncle and his children.

In a rare photo, the Waleses children were seen watching over their two-month-old cousin, Archie, as Harry was participating in a polo match in Wokingham.3

As Louis is seen having a cheeky moment, Charlotte and George appeared more responsible and protective, which would have delighted new dad Prince Harry.

Al Pacino was on the verge of being ousted from The Godfather by Paramount Studios before one scene saved his role in Francis Ford Coppola’s acclaimed mafia drama.

In an excerpt shared by The Guardian from his new memoir, Sonny Boy, the 84-year-old actor revealed that the studio questioned his casting twice, but he ultimately proved himself with Coppola’s support.

“Paramount didn’t want me to play Michael Corleone,” he wrote. “They wanted Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, or Ryan O’Neal.”

“But here’s the secret: Francis wanted me. He wanted me, and I knew that,” The Academy Award winner added. “There’s nothing like it when a director wants you. He also gave me a gift in the form of Diane Keaton.”

“After a week and a half of filming, Paramount once again questioned whether he was the right choice for the role. Finally, Francis determined that something had to be done,” Pacino recalled.

While Pacino remained muddled if Coppola acted “deliberately,” he remembered that the director moved up the filming of the Italian restaurant scene.

“That scene wasn’t meant to be shot until a few days later, but if something hadn’t happened to let me show what I was capable of, there might not have been a future for me,” Pacino continued.

“Then Francis showed the restaurant scene to the studio, and when they looked at it, something was there,” he wrote. “Because of that scene I just performed, they kept me in the film. So I didn’t get fired from The Godfather.”

Fortunately, Pacino executed the scene exactly how Coppola wanted, proving his casting as Michael Corleone in the 1972 iconic film.

Zoe Saldaña, known for her iconic roles in sci-fi blockbusters, shared her concerns about being typecast in the genre. 

However, she credits James Cameron, director of Avatar, for helping her land one of those pivotal roles.

Saldaña reflected on her journey at a BFI London Film Festival event, highlighting her work in Avatar, Star Trek, and Guardians of the Galaxy. 

She revealed how JJ Abrams visited the Avatar set, leading to her casting in Star Trek.

“I knew he was casting for Star Trek,” Saldaña began. 

“He and Jim were talking, and they come to set, and Jim lets him hold his little camera that he built. And I remember talking to JJ, and he’s like, ‘I’m going to call you, I really want to have a conversation with you.’ And then he walks away. And Jim comes over and goes, ‘I just booked your next job.'”

Despite initial fears of typecasting, Saldaña was drawn to Guardians of the Galaxy’s anti-hero character, Gamora. 

“I went into Guardians with a lot of fear of being typecast… But reading that script, there was just something about the anti-hero, the a-hole that saves the day, reluctantly, that I had never seen before.”

She also shared how Steven Spielberg restored her faith in the film industry after a difficult experience on the Pirates of the Caribbean set. 

“The crew, the cast, 99 percent of the time, are super marvelous… But if the studio, the producers and the director… if they’re not leading the kindness and awareness and consideration, then that big production can become a really bad experience.”

Working with Spielberg on The Terminal revitalised her passion. “After I had done Pirates, he restored my faith,” she noted.

The actress emotionally discussed her recent Cannes win for Emilia Pérez, expressing gratitude for the validation. “I didn’t even know how I needed it so much… Sometimes you feel like you’re just throwing spaghetti on the wall in the hope that something sticks. That visibility let me understand how invisible I had been feeling for so many years.”

The BFI London Film Festival, showcasing Emilia Pérez, runs from October 9-20.

Makeup mogul and American TV personality Kylie Jenner, who shares two children with rapper Travis Scott, mesmerised fans as she posted two new videos of her children.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 27, took to TikTok on Friday, October 11th, to show how quickly her kids Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2, are growing up.

The socialite attempted social media’s famous ‘Upside Down’ challenge with kids, by first flipping Aire upside down in front of the camera, while Stormi danced around, and then flipping Stormi upside down in the second clip.

Jenner noted how the kids have grown up, writing, “My big girl,” in the caption of her second video, referring to Stormi.

Fans were also surprised to see a taller Stormi, and expressed their shock in under the model’s comments section, one of them wrote, “OMG THIS IS STORMI? she grew up so fast,” while another chimed in, WHAT STORMY ISN’T A BABY ANYMORE.”

The beauty mogul gave birth to her first-born when she was just 20 years old, and has previously detailed her experience of being a young mother.

“Being a young mom just means we met a little early and I get to love you a little longer,” Jenner captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of Stormi on Mother’s Day in May 2022.
