Priyanka Chopra tells the UN General Assembly and the world that "all is not well" and then posts a photo of herself with Malala Yousafzai.

 Priyanka Chopra tells the UN General Assembly and the world that "all is not well" and then posts a photo of herself with Malala Yousafzai.

As Priyanka Chopra put it, "it was about what we must do collectively to make the SDG's a reality, and we don't have a second to lose."

City of New Delhi: Priyanka Chopra represented UNICEF this past Monday at a press conference held during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). In her opening remarks at the summit, she emphasized the need for the assembled heads of state to work together to protect the "basis of a just world that we fought for." She also said that the "UN Sustainable Development Goals" are a strategy that can fix the globe even though "everything is not well." Priyanka posted a video of herself giving a speech at the function, "As countries continue to recover from the devastating effects of the COVID-19, as the climate crisis affects lives, as conflicts rage, as poverty, displacement, hunger, and inequalities destroy the very foundation of a just world that we fought for, for so long, our meeting today could not come at a more opportune time. And as we are all too aware, things are not what they seem to be, yet these crises did not arise by accident. There is a way to address these, though. The strategy is in place. As a global checklist, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals "Was addressed by Priyanka Chopra.


Priyanka Chopra has been posting photos of herself with Malala Yousafzai, Amanda Gorman, and others on her Instagram account. The note she included with the photo she shared said, "This morning, as a proud representative of @unicef, I walked through the United Nations' gates for the second time to deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly. The Sustainable Development Goals are at the top of everyone's list this year. Today was a day of doing, striving, and having faith. The SDGs are ambitious, but we have no time to waste in working together to make them a reality." She also praised Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who invited her, in her letter. !.I appreciate being here today. @antonioguterres


She continued, "The second time was at the Transforming Education Summit, in which I also took part. It's shocking that nearly two-thirds of children can't read a basic story in low-, middle-, and high-income countries. The system has let them down. Education is the great equalizer, as the US Secretary of Education @seccardona put it so frankly, but if we keep doing what we've been doing, we'll keep getting what we've been getting. Every child is entitled to the same foundational opportunity to learn and develop to his or her fullest potential." Then, at the end of her letter, she said, "And as the amazing Amanda Gorman put it: "I dare you to mold our fate." I challenge you to be good for the sake of a better world."


Just have a look at this:

Lady Gaga becomes teary-eyed after ending Chromatica Ball Miami event.

 Lady Gaga becomes teary-eyed after ending Chromatica Ball Miami event.

Since abruptly cancelling the Miami stop of her Chromatica Ball tour due to inclement weather, Lady Gaga has apologised to her fans.

The 36-year-old pop star's Saturday night performance had to be cut short when a violent tropical storm rolled in.

The star of House of Gucci sent a two-and-a-half-minute video to Instagram in which she apologised to her fans, saying, "We really tried to finish the show tonight in Miami."

The singer of "Bad Romance" cried on camera as she addressed her 53.2 million Instagram followers.

She thanked the crowd for arriving and said they had tried their best to finish the show even though "there was lightning that was striking down to the earth so close to us" in Miami.

The Grammy-winning artist said she had to make the "responsible" call to end the performance to ensure everyone's safety.

"I don't know what I'd do if something happened to my audience, crew, band, or dancers," she said.

She stated jokingly, "So, I'm sorry that we didn't get to do the epic performance of Rain On Me in the rain."

Afterwards, the Star is Born star picked up the gorgeous red flowers a fan had thrown onto the platform and said she would "cherish them forever."

After posting the video, Gaga apologised again for cutting the event short during her performance in a separate post.

She added, "This was the greatest tour of my life and I will cherish this moment forever—it took a long time for me to heal, but I did," for the photo's caption.

The royal garb of Victoria's "Queen Elizabeth" is hung up.

 The royal garb of Victoria's "Queen Elizabeth" is hung up.

For the past 38 years, Carolyn Sadowska has portrayed the monarch in many advertisements, conferences, parades, and celebrations. After enrolling in an improv comedy class in the evening, she began performing as the monarch shortly afterward.

Following the monarch's death, a woman in Victoria, who has performed as the Queen for the past 38 years, plans to hang up her tiara and royal garments for good.

"I always knew this day would come," said Carolyn Enid Sadowska last week as she packed up memorabilia, costumes, and props.

Soon after enrolling in an improv comedy class in the evening, Sadowska began performing as the Queen at various events (including commercials, conferences, parades, and countless parties).

She needed new personas to incorporate into her act and settled on the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II is played by Carolyn Sadowska.

She received her big break after a businessman named Jim Pattison saw her perform on the main stage at Expo 86 and purchased her first tiara, which she had fashioned out of cardboard, wire, and lace.

As a result of him introducing her to his party's guests, she was offered a role as hostess for the remainder of the exposition.

Sadowska has stated that the sole purpose of the character is to bring joy to the audience through laughter. Her portrayal of the Queen was neither stuffy nor regal. She based it on her perception of the Queen as "everything that was wonderful in the world," someone who also happens to be humorous.

This opportunity was a blessing in my life. Because "when we laugh, we laugh together," to quote Sadowska, I consider it a wonderful privilege to have been able to make other people happy through humor. After having a good time with me, I get the impression that the audience members often feel more connected to the real Queen.

Since Sadowska gave up trying to keep track of how many times she had acted as the Queen, we might assume that the figure was relatively high. She has appeared in advertisements, entertained conventioneers, given keynote speeches, and even stood in for the real Queen during a dress rehearsal of a scheduled visit during her time in Victoria.

During one particularly memorable assignment, she rode a "beautiful" sled into a ballroom in Whistler. On another occasion, a 40-piece Beefeater band heralded her arrival with a horse-drawn carriage.

Often, she was expected to engage with the crowd rather than observe it actively.

She would tailor her comedy routine to the event when providing information about the attendees in advance or conducting her web research.

During a presentation to a group of ENT doctors, she revealed that the "Queen" had a lifelong interest in the field and practiced it on the side. Then she showed off an experimental method she'd devised. But unfortunately, the volunteer got brained during the skit.

Sometimes things wouldn't work out the way they were supposed to. She once spoke to a gathering of urologists, having thought she would be entertaining a group of neurologists.

The role of Elizabeth II is played by Carolyn Sadowska. Sadowska has shared the stage with fellow impersonators before. Winnie Cooper, who portrayed Diana until her untimely death in 1997, was a colleague of hers.

At another event, she had to make people laugh and break the ice. She came to find that her audience was composed entirely of Japanese people who spoke no English.

Sadowska, who has lived in Victoria since 1985, has observed that "most people are prepared to suspend reality for around 30 minutes," which gives them enough time to accept the charade and play along.

She spends her day acting like other people. She has also portrayed Victoria, Alexandra, and the young Elizabeth I in addition to Elizabeth II. The most frequently requested royal voice was that of Queen Elizabeth II.

She has performed alongside other impersonators before. She worked alongside Winnie Cooper, who played Diana until her untimely death in 1997. The actress Karen Brelsford, who plays Catherine, the present Princess of Wales, is someone she has collaborated with more lately.

She never met the Queen, but she met the genuine Lady Brabourne, the second Countess Mountbatten, during a Calgary Stampede event.

When it came to advertising, she filmed a spot for Coca-Cola in Barcelona meant for the Japanese market while pretending to be set in London, right down to the red double-decker bus in the background.

She was invited to perform on a Japanese game show performing a song in Japanese even though she can't sing and is entirely unfamiliar with the language.

She voiced characters in not one but two Disney films, as well as two Punjabi language films. The fact that corgis, a favorite of the real Queen, seem to relate to her makes it easier for the screenplay to call for her to communicate with them.

She is entirely comfortable communicating in French because of her upbringing in Quebec.

Sadowska claimed, "I would always have fun with Quebec audiences." "Everyone would be shocked to learn that the 'Queen' was fluent in French."

While she is putting away her cherished memories, she is also resuming her career as an abstract artist, showing her work in area galleries.

She will miss playing the Queen because of the excellent money it brought in for almost four decades. Using the proceeds from her shows, she constructed an art studio in the backyard of her James Bay cottage.

She has already said her final goodbyes to her "royal" family in preparation for her departure to meet the Queen.

Quite a few folks have been made to smile thanks to us. "It doesn't get any better than that," Sadowska said in her farewell letter to Brelsford.

Queen's children hold vigil at Westminster Hall over her coffin.

 Queen's children hold vigil at Westminster Hall over her coffin.

King Charles led a second vigil with his siblings as the crowd passed.

Queen Elizabeth II's four children, headed by the King, quietly marched down the stone steps within Westminster Hall and stopped in front of the catafalque, where the vigil of the princes had begun.

It only took three taps until they walked on it. With his eyes red and squinting, King Charles stood at the head of the coffin, with Princess Royal and the Earl of Wessex on either side and the Duke of York at the foot.

One by one, they started facing outside. Then they turned their backs on the casket and stood there, heads lowered, unmoving.

A state funeral will be held on Monday, but today was the family's last chance to pay their respects to their mother and Queen in a moving ceremony. And just like so many other times this past week, a private moment was broadcast for all to see.

As the King and his brothers and sisters stood guard, the crowd filed slowly past them on both sides of the big hall. Queen Consort and Countess of Wessex also attended and observed the occasion. After 15 minutes, the four walked down, and with another triple tap, their mission was accomplished.

Her children had already done the same at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, where she was put to rest before her body was returned to Buckingham Palace. Prince Andrew, who typically sticks to morning dress due to his nonworking royal position, wore a military uniform to Westminster Hall.

It has been revealed that the Queen's eight grandchildren will keep vigil over her casket on Saturday night. To begin, the Prince of Wales will take the helm, followed by the Duke of Sussex in the very last row. Harry, a nonworking member of the royal family, will be wearing his uniform for this momentous occasion with the King's blessing. The rest of the grandchildren will be wearing morning jackets and formal, dark attire with festive trimmings.

First observed in 1936, the vigil of the princes was held by King George V's four sons as they stood guard over their father's casket. In 2002, Queen Elizabeth II's four grandsons stood to watch over their grandmother's casket in Westminster Hall.

After Queen Elizabeth II's death, Netflix members streamed 'The Crown.'

 After Queen Elizabeth II's death, Netflix members streamed 'The Crown.' 

There was a lot of interest in the first season of 'The Crown,' which debuted in 2016, as it was one of Netflix's top 10 most viewed English-language shows last week.

As the United Kingdom prepares for what is expected to be a tremendous turnout for Queen Elizabeth II's burial, many individuals have opted to pay their respects by viewing a biopic about her life from the comfort of their own homes.

Netflix Inc.'s (NFLX) "The Crown," launched in November 2016, skyrocketed to the top of the streaming service's most viewed series for the week ending Sunday.

According to data released by Netflix late Tuesday, season 1 of "The Crown" ranked eighth among English-language TV programs in total viewing time.

According to Netflix's data, "The Crown" was one of the top 10 most watched shows in the United Kingdom and 17 other European nations. In addition to the United States, it was among the top 10 in Hong Kong and seven other American markets.

Third-party data from Parrot Analytics shows that interest in "The Crown," Netflix Inc.'s fictional chronicle of the Queen's reign, began rising almost immediately after the announcement of her death and then skyrocketed in the days that followed.

Parrot aims to quantify "demand" for programming, which it defines as a measurement beyond viewing that considers data points like video consumption and social-media activity to look at how much buzz a show produces.

On September 7, the day before her death, Parrot data showed that "demand" for "The Crown" worldwide was 22.8 times higher than for the usual episode.

On the following day, demand increased by 78.5%. By September 8, "The Crown" had risen to the top 0.2% of shows worldwide.

Interest in "The Crown" has continued to climb, with demand increasing to 58.6 times that of a typical episode as of September 9 from 40.7 times as of September 8.

According to data provided by Parrot, the show ranked #10 in terms of overall demand across all platforms on September 9.

The United Kingdom showed the most significant increase.

On September 9, "The Crown" jumped from being the ninety-fourth most requested show to fifth place. 'The Crown' experienced a 164% increase in demand between September 7 and September 10.

Netflix's "The Crown" chronicles Queen Elizabeth II's reign. Peter Morgan authored the screenplay. The series has received numerous honors and nominations, including Emmys and a Golden Globe.

Economists warn that the U.K. economy could be in recession because of the Queen's death.

After reporting last week that Netflix had halted filming the next episodes in the wake of the Queen's death, Deadline has since amended its article to state that the streaming service will stop production again on September 19, the day of the Queen's funeral.

According to the same article, Netflix "long had plans" for how it would deal with the Queen's death throughout the show's production.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Meghan Markle's "Archetypes" podcast would postpone new episodes during the Queen's mourning period.

 Meghan Markle'smirks at Kate Middleton and is accused of insulting the Queen.

While the royal couple mourns the loss of the Queen, some fans and experts have continued to attack Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Meghan was accused of smiling after a photo of her, and Kate Middleton from the procession went viral. Harry was criticized for allegedly "leaking information to the press."

A royalist who saw the photo commented, "It was the sneer.

She doesn't give a damn. As an extreme example, they left together, holding hands once more. There was absolutely no education. Even now, it disrespects Queen Elizabeth's customs and protocol. Only came for the big pictures and to prove she could sell her claim and right to exist."

Another internet commentator launched an assault, saying, "I'm shocked that they were holding hands in church and it looks like they're smirking. Just hold on till you get in your automobiles or get back to your homes. Seeing her there makes me sick, especially after what she's done to the Queen."

Princess Elizabeth expressed gratitude to the people of the United Kingdom for their loyalty and devotion to her brother, King Charles III, upon his accession to the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
