BTS of #RWRBMovie: set design

Oval Office:

As you might have imagined, the production did not have access to the actual White House for the scenes set there. Those sets were built on a soundstage. "We took a deep dive into researching the White House, so the construction is based on the actual building," production designer Miren Marañón said in a press brief. Since United States presidents are able to decorate the Oval Office how they'd like, Marañón's aim was to "convey the character of a woman who was bold and made it to the top." So, the design team incorporated a color palette of soft blues and oranges. "Orange is a color you need to take carefully, but I thought Ellen [the president] could handle it and it was brave of her to have that in the Oval," Marañón said. The White House sculptures subtly enhance the fictional first-ever woman president’s design touch. "They are almost all female sculptures," Marañón added. "You can see Lady Liberty, the Scales of Justice, a Valkyrie warrior, and other women throughout history who have been part of the political changes in America."

Alex & Henry's bedrooms:

“We kept in mind Alex can only live in the White House for four or possibly eight years and then he has to leave, so for that period of time he's made the room his own and it's designed for the person he is now,” Marañón explained. "Whereas Henry has lived in Kensington Palace all his life, so the idea is the room was mainly designed by others, not himself." Alex's bedroom has a relaxed feel with contemporary furniture and an eclectic mix of items he treasures. "The artwork behind his bed is a painting I had made that says 'cielo y tierra,' which means 'the sky and earth,'" Marañón said. "I wanted him to have something in Spanish, representing his roots." Henry's bedroom, while designed to fit into the traditional palace, still has ties to his personality. Marañón explained: "We put up classic green wallpaper, which resonates with Henry, who loves the outdoors. That kind of dusty green is a very British color as well. It could be considered somewhat old for a young person, but Henry is a bit of an old soul in many ways."

I design it with our graphic department from scratch as we wanted something original that demonstrate Alex character. I don’t think I can share the file publicly but I’ll email amazon to see if they can share it.

“Wheels down in 20,” Amy says when Alex puts the phone down again. As if on cue, a predictably garbled announcement from the cockpit resounds throughout the plane's cabin. When it’s finished, Amy continues. “We’re heading straight back to the White House from Dulles. You have a meeting in the yellow Oval as soon as we arrive.” Pulling his backpack from the cubby by his feet, Alex repacks the book and his assorted studying gear. “I talked to my mom yesterday afternoon,” he says. “She probably wants the details of my day as a prisoner in Kensington Palace.” Amy rolls her eyes and huffs out a laugh. “You weren’t a prisoner,” she says. “Really? Tell that to all the people who glared at me whenever I tried to leave the guest quarters.” “The portraits of dead royalty can’t hurt you,” Amy replies dryly. “But the captain might if you don’t put your seatbelt on.” “It’d make for a great ticker blurb on the 24-hour news channels.” Alex turns to Amy with a grin, gesturing at an invisible marquee before him. “FSOTUS concussed during landing at Dulles; White House declines to comment.” “Unfortunately for CNN’s ratings, it’s my literal job to prevent you from being concussed,” Amy says, “so buckle up.”

Aakash Chopra, while analysing Hardik, said that I am viewing him as someone who can give you 5 or 6 overs but not consistently give you 10 overs. Well, we will also find out in 3 ODIs whether he is actually bowling or not, and if he is bowling, then how many overs captain Rohit Sharma gave him to bowl.

Meghan Markle's wedding tiara

One of the perks of being the granddaughter of the British Queen is that you can wear a sparkling wedding tiara. The Duchess of Sussex wore the Queen Mary Bandeau Tiara, which was given to Queen Mary by the County of Lincoln in 1893. Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau Tiara

The bride's jewels are a must for a royal wedding. Meghan Markle chose to wear the Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Tiara for her big day. The classic Art Deco tiara was a big hit with fans, who saw it as an appropriate complement to the stunning Givenchy Haute Couture by Claire Waight Keller gown.

According to a book written by royal expert Omid Schobie, Meghan did not get her first choice for tiara on her wedding day. She was reportedly rejected for an emerald-colored tiara in the Queen's collection. Meghan Markle wedding tiara

The tiara, designed by Garrard, was made in 1932 for Princess Mary of Teck, Meghan's grandmother, who married Prince George, Duke York, later King George V. The center brooch was a gift from the County Lincoln to Princess Mary, and was given to her upon her marriage. The Story of the Tiara

Meghan Markle wore the Queen Mary's Bandeau Tiara on loan to Her Majesty when she married Prince Harry in 2018. The diamond piece, which was originally owned by Queen Mary's great-grandmother, is centered by an 1893 brooch. Meghan described her tiara-choosing day as "surreal" in an audio recording made for a Windsor Castle exhibit.

The Duchess' 16 foot-long silk veil included flora from each of the 53 Commonwealth countries, as well as two personal favorites - wintersweet (Chimonanthus Praecox), a flower that grows in front Kensington Palace at Nottingham Cottage, and California poppy Eschscholzia Californica, the state flower of her home.

The final look was stunning, and showed off Meghan's elegance. What's the story behind how Meghan chose her tiara, and why did she do so? According to a royal expert and a new book, there was drama around the process. Prince Harry was reportedly forced to intervene in the dispute between Meghan and Angela Kelly, the Queen's dresser. How the Tiara came to Meghan

Meghan Markle's big day was a memorable one, but it might have been even more so if there hadn't been a disagreement about her bridal headpiece. According to Robert Lacey of the Royal Historian, Markle wanted an emerald encrusted tiara for her wedding day, but Queen Elizabeth refused.

Lacey said that the former monarch was worried that the tiara could be associated with the Russian Revolution because it had been passed through "dodgy" channels. He also thought that Meghan wouldn't look good wearing the tiara at her wedding, as it would distract her from her role as the wife of Prince Harry.

The palace denied the claims and it appears that the Queen Mary Tiara was the one that Markle wore. Princess Eugenie chose a Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara for her wedding six months after Meghan, and the tiara has a clear history. The Final Look

Markle chose to finish her Givenchy wedding dress and 16-foot silk veil with the dazzling Diamond Bandeau Tiara of Queen Mary. The piece, which is made up of 11 flexible sections with interlaced ovals and was worn by Princess Margaret, was borrowed by Meghan to wear on her wedding day.

According to a book, Harry claims he and Angela Kelly, the Queen's dresser had a little argument over which tiara Meghan could borrow for her wedding. Harry claims that while the Queen offered a tiara to her daughter-in law with a Lincolnshire link, Kelly refused to lend it to her before her hair trial.

The Queen finally gave in and let Meghan borrow the heritage art-deco tiara that she paired with a stunning floral veil. The Duchess opened up in an audio recording of a royal exhibit that opens on Friday at Windsor Castle about her tiara-shopping experience.

T20 World Cup 2024 final: India wins in Barbados after 13-year draught

The ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup was won by India in a nail-biting final, edging out South Africa by seven runs. The match was a fitting climax to a sensational tournament, with both unbeaten teams battling fiercely for the prestigious title. India’s triumph marked their first T20 World Cup win in over a decade, while South Africa’s quest for their inaugural world title continues.

The Epic Battle Unfolds

The stage was set at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, where cricket fans worldwide were treated to an unforgettable final. India’s captain won the toss and opted to bat first, setting the tone for a high-stakes encounter.

India's Innings: Kohli's Masterclass

India posted a formidable total of 176/7, thanks in large part to an attritional 76 from the ever-reliable Virat Kohli. Despite losing key wickets early, with Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant falling in quick succession to Keshav Maharaj, and Suryakumar Yadav being dismissed cheaply by Kagiso Rabada, India managed to stabilize their innings.

Virat Kohli and Axar Patel formed a vital partnership, adding 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Their stand was broken by a superb piece of fielding from Quinton de Kock, who ran out Axar with a direct hit. Kohli continued to anchor the innings, forging another crucial partnership with Shivam Dube. However, South Africa made late inroads, with Anrich Nortje’s double strike in the final over, removing Dube and Ravindra Jadeja, limiting India’s total.

South Africa's Chase: De Kock and Klaasen's Heroics

South Africa’s chase began on a shaky note, losing Reeza Hendricks to a perfect delivery from Jasprit Bumrah in the second over, followed by Aiden Markram’s dismissal by Arshdeep Singh. Quinton de Kock steadied the ship, partnering with Tristan Stubbs for a 58-run stand.

After Stubbs fell to Axar Patel, Heinrich Klaasen joined de Kock, and the duo kept South Africa’s hopes alive. De Kock’s valuable 39 came to an end as he was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Arshdeep Singh. David Miller and Klaasen then took the attack to the Indian bowlers, bringing the required run-rate down to a run a ball with 30 runs needed.

However, Klaasen’s departure for 52, caught behind off Hardik Pandya, and Miller’s dismissal in the final over to a brilliant catch by Suryakumar Yadav, turned the tide in India’s favor. Despite the best efforts of Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, South Africa fell agonizingly short, finishing eight runs shy of the target.

Fan Reactions:

– “What a final! Kudos to both teams for such a thrilling game. Congrats India! #INDvsSA #T20WorldCupFinal”

– “Virat Kohli’s 76 was a masterclass under pressure. Well-deserved win for India! #ViratKohli #Cricket”

– “Heartbreak for South Africa, but they played brilliantly. Klaasen and De Kock were superb. #QuintonDeKock #HeinrichKlaasen”

India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa will be remembered as one of the most thrilling matches in cricket history. As the cricketing world celebrates, the players and fans look forward to more exciting contests and the next opportunity for glory on the global stage.

This triumph propels India into the final, where they will face South Africa. The anticipation is palpable, as fans gear up for what promises to be an epic showdown. The team’s journey has been nothing short of inspirational, marked by determination, skill, and a never-say-die attitude.

Thanks to @kiwiana-writes and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, as always, for the tags this fine humpday! (And what a fine *hump* day it is, with the art we've been blessed with today.)

It's getting trickier and trickier to not spoil the entire plot of my big giant AU in these posts. 😅

Alex is fairly sure he’s never been ushered up to his mother’s office as expediently as he is today. He tries a few times to pause and say hi to a staffer en route, only to be herded onward by Amy. “I get the impression that I’m in trouble,” he says, then pensively tilts his head. “Well, more than I was when I left here last time.” “I’m under strict instructions not to let you talk to anyone,” Amy replies. Ahead of them, the door to the yellow Oval is half-open, and she gestures at it, giving Alex a little shove toward it. “In you get.” Alex throws his hands up. “Fine, fine. See you at the firing squad, I guess.” “Drama queen,” Amy mutters good-naturedly, taking her post outside the door. With a deep breath, Alex steps through the door. “I swear, no pastries were harmed during my boomerang visit to Kensington Palace,” he says by way of greeting, trying for a jovial tone to mask the sense of impending doom. Ellen Claremont is seated on the sofa in the yellow Oval, with Zahra positioned across from her on an armchair. They both look up at Alex’s statement, and the expression on Zahra’s face suggests she’s been annoyed with him since birth. “Hey, sweetheart,” Ellen says. She doesn’t look like she’s going to have Alex thrown in Gitmo, so maybe there’s hope yet. “Mom,” Alex offers. “Zahra.” He looks from one woman to the other, then back. “If you’re looking for details about what’s going on in London, you’re meeting with the wrong guy. I stayed in the guest suite basically the entire time I was there.” “We’ve been receiving constant updates from the Prime Minister’s office,” Zahra says. “Did you meet with Prince Henry at all while you were there?” “Well,” Alex remarks, “Not in any official capacity.”

As always, if you feel called to participate, please do! I am both too introverted and too forgetful when it comes to Tumblr handles to tag all the cool people whose writing I really enjoy. 😂
