William was booed at the Royal Variety Performance on November 5th, after he made a joke about the NHS.
Prince William was booed by some members of the audience at the Royal Variety Performance on November 5th. The Duke of Cambridge was in attendance with his wife, Kate Middleton, and had been discussing their children when he made a joke about the NHS. As part of his act, comedian Michael McIntyre mentioned that Prince George had been admitted to hospital recently. This is when Prince William jumped in to make a joke about it.
“He’s been waiting for this moment for a long time,” Prince William said, before adding: “No one is more qualified to talk about waiting than me.”
It wasn’t clear whether or not Prince William intended for his joke to be taken as a dig at NHS staff or if he was just making light of the situation. However, many members of the audience were quick to boo him and his wife Kate Middleton.
Chelsea FC’s new home kit for 2022-2023 has a yellow base.
Chelsea FC is one of the most popular football clubs in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With a squad full of talented players and a history of success, Chelsea are one of the most well-known teams in Europe. They’ve won the Premier League five times, as well as the Champions League and Europa League once each. But if you were to watch them play at Stamford Bridge this season, you might notice something different about their kit.
The club made the decision to change their home colours from blue to yellow for this season due to an increase in ticket sales when they wear yellow kits.
On October 27th, the flag at Buckingham Palace was flying at half-staff, which is a rare occurrence.
The Union Jack flag at Buckingham Palace was flying at half-staff on October 27th, a rare occurrence for the royal residence. The last time the flag was flown in this way was when Prince Philip died in February 2017. Today’s half-staffing of the flag came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that former Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer had tested positive for Covid. This meant that he would not be able to attend PMQs or answer questions on the Budget 2022.
Australia was invited to compete in Eurovision 2022, but declined the offer.
The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the most watched television events in the world, with millions tuning in every year to watch their favourite countries compete. Australia has been a part of the contest since 2015, but many fans were surprised when they learned that Australia had been invited to compete again in 2022. The country has previously stated that it would not be competing at Eurovision after its two-year commitment ended this year, but on October 27th it was revealed that they had declined an invitation to participate next year.
Why did Australia decline its invitation?
Australia’s participation at Eurovision has been a contentious issue for some time now. The country’s first appearance was widely criticised by viewers and commentators alike for having little relevance to Europe and taking up space that could have gone to another European country. In response, the EBU introduced a new rule stating that only countries from Europe could compete at Eurovision from 2020 onwards. This rule change left Australia ineligible for participation and many thought this would be the end of their involvement with the contest.
Many thought that once their two-year commitment ended this year, Australia would not be invited back again due to their non-European status. However, it was announced on October 27th that they had been invited back as part of a new partnership between SBS and RTP (Portugal’s national broadcaster). Although SBS said it would “look forward” to working with RTP again after working together on last year’s contest, they also confirmed they had declined the invitation.
