On Friday, the King and Queen of England have been joined by Victoria and David Beckham, Donatella Versace, Dame Helen Mirren, Edward Enninful and Stanley Tucci for a black tie dinner to celebrate Italian cuisine at Highgrove. Charles and Camilla also invited Italian-American actor and well-known foodie, Stanley Tucci, and the Italian ambassador to the UK, Inigo Lambertini, to the Gloucestershire estate to enjoy a feast of sustainable “slow food”. The menu was created by renowned Italian chef Francesco Mazzei and inspired by Tucci, who fronted the TV series “Tucci – The Heart Of Italy”. A couple of pictures from the event have been added to the photo gallery.

It’s been a long two years since the premiere of 1923, but it’s going to be worth it. PEOPLE can exclusively reveal a closer look at what’s to come in the long-awaited second season in a new featurette, which kicks off with Helen Mirren, herself, acknowledging just how torturous the wait has been for fans. “It took a long time to get here, you know. It’s been 2 years,” Mirren, 79, says as she sits beside her onscreen husband, Harrison Ford, inside the Yellowstone ranch on set. Julia Schlaepfer, who plays Alexandra, is equally eager to be back in the swing of things, as she says it “feels so incredible to be back” on set – and teases a “very, very emotional” season to come. “Taylor [Sheridan] sent me the scripts and I was weeping.” Mirren (Cara Dutton) credits the show’s “extraordinary crew,” too, for the magic of the show, while Darren Mann (Jack Dutton) says, “I have never seen anything like it. Everything about it is just so authentic.” The featurette can be watched in the video archive. Screencaptures and a teaser poster for season 2 have been added to the photo gallery.

Happy New Year everybody. The photo gallery has been updated with additional appearances pictures from 2024. We’re heading into a fantastic Mirren year with a second season of “1923” in February, another television series coming up – Guy Ritchie’s “The Associate” co-starring Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan – as well as the much-anticipated screen adaptation of Richard Osman’s “The Thursday Murder Club” for Netflix, which will reuinite Helen with her former co-stars Ben Kingsley (“Pascali’s Island”), Celia Imrie (“Calendar Girls”) and Brosnan once more (“The Long Good Friday”) . If it’s only half as good as the books, we’re in for a treat. Last but not least, Dame Helen will turn 80 in July, so hopefully there’ll be a lot to celebrate. Enjoy the new additions.

Here comes another great batch of archival images for the archives, split into two updates. Updates included recently unearthed pictures of Helen Mirren at the Stratford Roundhouse, which was established in the gardens behind the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Between 1970 and 1972, actors and other theatre practitioners from across the RSC performed in a series of innovative, inventive pieces. Very little has been written about this project, which seems to have been erased from the RSC’s history. The complete research by Abigail Rokison-Woodall, titled “The Stratford Roundhouse: Stratford’s Forgotten Theatre” can be ordered over here. Other images include on-set pictures from “Blue Remembered Hills”, “Mrs. Reinhardt” and “White Nights”. The second batch of this update will be posted on Sunday.
