On April 21, 2016, the world lost an iconic musician when Prince was found dead at his estate, Paisley Park, in Minnesota (The Times of Northwest Indiana, SWVA Today). Five years later, the impact of his music and legacy can still be felt throughout the industry.
Prince’s influence can even be seen in the British royal family. Prince William and Kate Middleton were spotted in high spirits as they toured Birmingham (Town & Country Magazine). Meanwhile, Prince Harry is set to attend his father’s coronation next month, but his ex-pal Meghan Markle’s former friend has issued a stark warning about the trip backfiring terribly for him (New York Post).
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made headlines for their finances, as they no longer receive any funding from the Royal Family (BBC). Despite rumors of a rift between Prince Harry and his brother Prince William, insiders have claimed that Harry has had positive conversations with their father, King Charles (Vanity Fair). However, it seems the brothers still haven’t talked much after their spat (Vanity Fair).
Amid all the drama, the younger prince has expressed disappointment about a part of his father’s coronation invite but said that “the door is always open” (Hindustan Times). In other news, Prince Louis wore a shirt that once belonged to Prince George to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 97th birthday (Page Six).
Meanwhile, Metal detectors are set to be installed at three entrances of Prince William middle and high schools, marking a $10 million project in the county (Potomac Local News).
Although direct quotes cannot be used, it’s clear that Prince’s legacy and the royal family’s antics continue to make news headlines years after his death.
