King Charles is opening up the monarch’s Scottish home to Caribbean artists. 

He is initiating an “artist in residence” program at Dumfries House specifically for African, Caribbean, and diaspora artists. 

Collaborating with England rugby player Maro Itoje through his charity, The King’s Foundation, Charles aims to provide emerging artists with the opportunity to live and work on the Scottish Estate for a period of three months.

Itoje co-founded The Akoje Residency to give opportunities to artists from Commonwealth countries.

The collaboration will “offer up to eight funded residencies a year, designed to afford opportunities for African, Caribbean and diaspora artists to develop and extend their usual practice.”

The artists will be invited to share their views through talks, open studios and exhibitions.

Itoje said: “We believe art has the amazing ability to bring communities together.

“Our residency is a haven for emerging and established and emerging artists alike.”

He continued: “They will benefit from being surrounded by the enriching ecosystem that Dumfries House provides as well as being a contributor to the growth of African art worldwide.”

King Charles and his charity bought Dumfries House in Ayrshire in 2007.

The 18th-century home is open to the public all year round and is used for education and training programmes.

The then Prince Charles bought the house for £45million in an attempt to restore the residency for the nation.

Charles has homes spread across Scotland including, Balmoral Castle, Birkhall and the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

In June 2022, Itoje met the King at a Buckingham Palace reception which celebrated the contribution of people of the Commonwealth in the UK.

For the unversed the monarch is currently receiving treatment for undisclosed form of cancer, is gradually resuming his regular public duties.

Megyn Kelly is waiting for high-profile stars to speak up after Sean Diddy Combs arrest

Megyn Kelly has recently slammed Justin Bieber, Usher and Ashton Kutcher for not speaking up after Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrest.

Speaking on her latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, the journalist asked why Ashton, Usher and Justin reportedly failed to make a public statement over Sean’s alleged crimes.

The rapper was arrested in New York on September 16. He was later charged with three counts including racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.

“Justin Bieber… they’re not alleging his name in any of this, but Justin was very young when he came into Diddy’s circle,” recalled Megyn.

She further said, “There’s no question, he had a lot of exposure to this guy, and I think he should say something.”

Meanwhile, the journalist also looked into Justin whether he had been a “victim” of Sean.

Megyn explained, “It’s very hard to go out and say this has happened to you, but if he was a victim, God forbid, I encourage him to do it.”

“You need someone strong like that to break the dam,” she remarked.

Megyn further said, “If you actually had an Usher, a Bieber, or someone like an Ashton Kutcher — I don’t think he was an abuse victim, but he was good friends with Diddy for a long time — come out and say what they know, it would show leadership.”

“And it would give the others who are on this list permission and the security of not being the only one that has to worry about retribution,” she added.

Hilarie opened up that she and Sophia Bush were shocked when the news of the reboot was being “leaked in August”.

However, the actress explained that the “nicest thing is seeing the positive fan reaction to it and all of our friends from the show commenting on posts and just getting to show enthusiasm, because obviously we want Netflix to greenlight it”.

Meanwhile, the reboot news came almost seven years after Hilarie and Sophia were among the 18 former female cast and crew members who accused One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwahn of sexual harassment.
