Publisher's summary

A young queen. Two sisters. A voyage that will change their fates forever.

Nineteen-year-old identical twins Violet and Daisie Chettle can hardly believe their luck when they are recruited as maids on newly coronated Queen Elizabeth II’s royal ship.

It’s just the ticket they need away from cold, grey London and the tension that’s been brewing at home since the tragic loss of their parents.

But the 1954 royal tour to Australia, is a far cry from the glitz and glamour they had imagined. Life below deck is hard work, and whilst Violet is prepared to keep her head down and be seen and not heard, Daisie has her sights on doing everything she can to hang up her apron and mingle above deck—even if it means leaving Violet behind.

But as Daisie begins to win royal favour, she receives a letter from London. The sisters can’t outrun their past any longer.... Violet has committed an unspeakable act of betrayal that will change their relationship forever.

With their positions on the tour hanging in the balance, have the sisters ventured too far from home to ever find their way back?

Set against the stunning backdrop of Queen Elizabeth’s first royal tour with Prince Phillip, prepare to be swept away with this upstairs-downstairs drama, perfect for fans of The Crown and Downton Abbey .

Dolly Lane is a dreamer, a downtrodden maid who longs to dance on the London stage, but her life has been fractured by the Great War. Memories of the soldier she loved, of secret shame and profound loss, by turns pull her back and spur her on to make a better life. When she finds employment as a chambermaid at London's grandest hotel, The Savoy, Dolly takes a step closer to the glittering lives of the Bright Young Things who thrive on champagne, jazz, and rebellion.

But trouble - and danger - seem to follow Andrew. When one of his schoolmates and friends dies mysteriously of a severe pulmonary illness, Andrew is blamed and is soon an outcast....

It is 1940. France has fallen, and only a narrow strip of sea lies between Great Britain and invasion. The war could go either way, and everyone must do their bit. Young copywriter Catrin Cole is drafted into the Ministry of Information to help write women into propaganda films - something that the men aren't very good at. She is quickly seconded to the ministry's latest endeavor: a heartwarming tale of bravery and rescue at Dunkirk. It's all completely fabricated, of course, but what does that matter when the nation's morale is at stake?

Love the "dry" British humor.

A young Queen. Two sisters. A voyage that will change their fates forever.

Nineteen-year-old identical twins Violet and Daisie Chettle can hardly believe their luck when they are recruited as maids on newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II’s royal ship.

It’s just the ticket they need away from cold, grey London and the tension that’s been brewing at home since the tragic loss of their parents.

But the 1954 royal tour to Australia, is a far cry from the glitz and glamour they had imagined. Life below deck is hard-work, and whilst Violet is prepared to keep her head down and be seen and not heard, Daisie has her sights on doing everything she can to hang up her apron and mingle above deck – even if it means leaving Violet behind.

But as Daisie begins to win royal favour, she receives a letter from London. The sisters can’t outrun their past any longer… Violet has committed an unspeakable act of betrayal that will change their relationship forever.

With their positions on the tour hanging in the balance, have the sisters ventured too far from home to ever find their way back?

Former MLB All-Star's horse overcomes 17-1 odds to win Belmont Stakes

It's the first belmont win for trainer danny gargan and the second for saez., by the associated press • published june 8, 2024 • updated on june 8, 2024 at 8:34 pm.

When Luis Saez first rode Dornoch at Saratoga Race Course last summer, he told trainer Danny Gargan, “You have the Derby winner.”

While that did not come true, Dornoch made good on that optimism Saturday by winning the first Belmont Stakes  at Saratoga, hugging the rail and holding off Mindframe to spring a major upset in the Triple Crown finale at odds of 17-1.

Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are

The horse co-owned by World Series champion Jayson Werth won the Belmont five weeks after a troubled trip led to a 10th-place finish in the Kentucky Derby . This time, Dornoch sat off leader Seize the Grey, passed the Preakness winner  down the stretch and held on for a 1 1/2-length victory.

“I would put it right up there with winning on the biggest stage. Horse racing is the most underrated sport in the world, bar none,” said Werth, who won Major League Baseball's championship with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008. "It’s the biggest game: You get the Derby, the Preakness, the Belmont. We just won the Belmont. This is as good as it gets in horse racing. It’s as good as it gets in sports.

It’s the first win in any Triple Crown race for Gargan and the second in the Belmont for Saez, who said he never lost faith in Dornoch.

“He’s one of the top 3-year-olds in the country, and we’ve always thought it,” Gargan said. “We let him run his race, and he won. If he gets to run, he’s always going to be tough to beat.”

It’s the sixth consecutive year a different horse won each of the three Triple Crown races. Sierra Leone, the Derby runner-up who went off as the favorite, was third and Honor Marie fourth.

In partnership with NBC Sports Philadelphia

Dornoch paid $37.40 to win, $17.60 to place and $8.10 to show. Todd Pletcher-trained Mindframe paid $6.80 to place and $4.20 to show and Sierra Leone paid $2.60 to show after a jumbled start and more directional problems.

There were no such issues for Dornoch, who triumphed at the track known as the graveyard of favorites for its penchant for upsets.

"No one believed in this horse," Gargan said. “It's speechless. He’s such a talented horse.”

Despite there not being a Triple Crown on the line, it's a historic Belmont because the race was run at Saratoga for the first time in the venue's 161-year history. It returns next year while Belmont Park undergoes a massive, $455 million reconstruction with the plan for the Triple Crown race to go back to the New York track in 2026.

Having it at Saratoga necessitated shortening the race to 1 1/4 miles from the usual “test of the champion" 1 1/2-mile distance that has been a hallmark of the Belmont for nearly a century. The temporary change contributed to getting more quality horses into the field who previously ran in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness or both. At 1 1/4-mile distance, Dornoch crossed the wire in a time of 2:01.64.

Gargan doesn’t think if the race were at the usual distance the result would’ve been any different.

“I don’t think anybody was getting to him,” Gargan said. “I’d have to watch it again. I kind of got excited jumping around there when he got clear. I didn’t see anybody really making a bold move.”

Dornoch now has the Belmont Stakes under his belt, but the 3-year-old still has a lot of miles on him. Gargan is eyeing another race potentially this year taking on a similar field and course.

“I wouldn’t be shocked if we just wait and run him in the Travers,” Gargan said. “But, we’ll have to wait and see.”

‘Crown jewels’: FSU graduating couple overcomes family challenges during academic journey

journey after the crown

Florida State University graduating couple Josh and Rachel Duke are ending their academic journey at FSU with two degrees, a dissertation and a baby — 1-year-old Arthur Duke.

But the road to graduation was not an easy one for the Texas natives.

After six years, four rounds of IVF (in vitro fertilization) and the generosity of an embryo donor, the couple accomplished one of their top goals of starting a family — all while pursuing their degrees at the university.

“I think a lot of couples go through hardship and turn inward in that struggle, but I find that Josh and I both really made a decision to turn towards each other,” said Rachel, 38. “I think that kept us strong and made all the difference.”

While Josh will be graduating at 7 p.m. during FSU’s Saturday commencement ceremony at the Tucker Civic Center with his master’s degree in integrated marketing communications, Rachel will be graduating at 7 p.m. Friday with her doctoral degree in English literature with an emphasis in history of technologies.

More on commencement: Here’s a look at FSU, FAMU commencement speakers for the spring 2024 graduating class

Josh currently works as program director of Media, Communications and Marketing for the FSU College of Education, Health, and Human Science. Rachel is a rare books librarian in FSU Strozier Library’s Special Collections.

The married couple of 10 years met at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where Rachel earned her bachelor's in English Literature and Josh earned his bachelor’s in English and creative writing.

Josh and Rachel struggled with infertility for a number of years as Josh had cancer in his early 20s.

But with the passion to start a family came the decision to go through an IVF medical procedure.

“It was really difficult emotionally, physically and financially, but we really wanted to pursue that and Rachel wanted the opportunity to be a mom and carry a child,” said Josh, 35.

“There were a couple of times where being a student and being a full time employee was challenging on its own, and then there was the disappointment of our first two IVF rounds not working. Plus, the number of shots that Rachel had to take was insane.”

The average cost of embryo adoption is $15,000.

But luckily, Josh and Rachel found a donor who gave them three free embryos. The first two did not work, but the last one was a success.

“It's been difficult, but I wouldn't change the journey for anything,” Rachel said. “We've learned a lot about each other, and we've gotten very good at project management as a team. We ended up with exactly the right kid at the right time.”

Due to complications during Rachel’s pregnancy in January 2023, the couple was forced to relocate closer to the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Gainesville for a couple of months since the hospital is known as one of the best in the country for high-risk pregnancies.

After a C-section, Rachel gave birth to Arthur in March 2023.

Despite the challenging transition from Tallahassee, Josh and Rachel both agreed that the support they received from professors and work supervisors at FSU was “overwhelming.”

FSU Dean and Professor of FSU’s College of Education, Health and Human Sciences Damon Andrew — also Josh’s supervisor — paid Josh and Rachel a visit in Gainesville at the time when he and his wife were driving to Miami for a conference.

“Josh and Rachel are crown jewels here at Florida State,” Andrew said. “They’ve been through a lot but still found ways to continue to succeed while developing professionally and personally with their home life. I’m very proud of both of them and what they’ve been able to accomplish.”

The same FSU support was felt again six months later when the couple went back to Gainesville as Arthur underwent surgery at UF Shands for a rare congenital lung condition.

“He's just about ready to start walking now, and you wouldn't know anything was wrong with him before he was born,” Josh said.

“He also loves books. If you give him a toy and a book, he'll reach for the book before he reaches for the toy.”

Rachel says Arthur has learned a lot of words too, but especially B words — bubbles, balloons and blueberries.

With graduation approaching, Josh and Rachel are both excited as their loved ones will be coming to Tallahassee for the two-day commencement ceremonies.

“It feels like we're reaping the rewards of so much work over the past couple of years all at once,” Rachel said.

Variety’s Anatomy of A Character: ‘The Crown’ Creatives on Transforming Elizabeth Debicki for Princess Diana’s Final Days

Perfection is rarely achieved in movies, but this heaven-sent concert doc hits the sweet spot.

The blessed thing took nearly half a century to come out because director Sydney Pollack failed to sync the image with the sound. Then digital angels stepped in, and glory, glory, hallelujah!

“Diana was always going to be a massive deal,” casting director Robert Sterne said of the enormous task of working on “ The Crown. “

When the Emmy-award-winning Netflix series about the modern-day British royal family was still in pre-production, there were two primary casting concerns. First, who was going to play the Queen? Over six seasons, Claire Foy, Olivia Colman and Imelda Staunton took on the role of Queen Elizabeth II at various stages of her life. The other casting challenge was how Princess Diana would be handled.

Sitting down for Variety’s Anatomy of a Character , Sterne said, “Everything was heading towards that character and that storyline.” The character would make her debut in season three, and it was no easy undertaking, but it needed to be someone who could play the young Lady Diana Spencer. Emma Corrin was cast in that role. The next stage of Diana was her later years, which meant finding someone to play a woman at the end of her marriage, someone in line with the iconic images taken by top photographer Mario Testino.

“There was one person who could do the job and there was one person on the list,” said Sterne.

That was Elizabeth Debicki . Fortunately, she said yes.

Debicki stepped into the role in season five. Diana goes through her separation, the fallout of her BBC One “Panorama” interview and her divorce from Prince Charles. It also leads to her meeting Dodi Al-Fayed, who invites her to spend a fateful summer with him on his yacht. Season six picks up just months after and follows her during in the last few weeks of her life.

“This is an absolute gift from the acting heavens,” Debicki said. “I was never, ever not going to play this part. A lot of people have said, ‘Did you have to think very hard?’ I don’t think I had a single thought in my head. It was only when I left the meeting and sort of got halfway down the block. I thought, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?'”

Debicki won rave reviews for her portrayal of Diana. She also won the hearts of voters as she scooped up a Golden Globe and SAG Award.

Despite knowing Diana’s fate, Debicki was still anticipating the scripts and how the story would unfold.

Said Debicki, “It was so beautiful to realize that I could trust that all the foundations I had laid in season five were there.”

When it came time to roll, Debicki said, “I hadn’t really run any lines. It’s almost like I hadn’t heard her for a few months…I stood there before someone said action. I thought, ‘I wonder where she is.’ And someone said, ‘action,’ and it just sprung out. It was all just there.”

Hair department head Cate Hall noted she didn’t have the license to make sweeping changes. However, she could have little moments to make a creative mark when Diana was in private.

But that didn’t come without its challenges. While there were scenes of Diana on vacation or with the boys, Hall played with the wig. “It was really difficult,” Hall admitted. “Trying to figure out if we change the parting if we make it a center parting, is it Diana-ish enough? But from what we can tell, it was a much more relaxed, undone hairdo.”

Musically, composer Martin Phipps talked about how there was a sonic shift this season, particularly with Diana. “We tried to use actually less and less music as the season went on and the series went on. Trying to do more with less was always the brief from (showrunner) Peter Morgan, and it’s hard to do and it’s a real challenge, but if you can put it off, it’s much more rewarding to have less music.”

Said Phipps, “We swerved scoring her directly. The story was so amazing and so powerful and so charged already that it didn’t need a score that was doing the same thing at all in earlier seasons. We had a really simple harp theme for her. Just very delicate and quite fragile.”

By season six, he reverted to the “classic Crown chords that just sat underneath these events as they were going and didn’t try and say too much or do too much.”

One particular moment that stands out is when Diana has a phone call with her sons Prince William (Ed McVey) and Harry (Fflyn Edwards). In the scene, they ask her if she’s going to marry Dodi (Khalid Abdalla), and a soft cue begins to play.

Said Phipps, “It’s an interesting cue because that’s a sort of theme that we don’t really use very much at all. It’s a very soft string theme. It’s quiet, not sentimental, but it’s very soft and emotional and it’s just one time where we allow that kind of raw emotion in the music.”

Debicki revealed that said scene was what she had been working toward. “I was so happy to be on the phone and I just love those boys. They’re amazing kids. They were so beautiful and sweet and loving,” she said.

The actress broke down the significance of that scene. She said, “I’d spent months shooting the episode trying to get to that phone call. So when I got to the chair and I could hear their voices on a little loop in a microphone in my ear, I was just so happy to hear them. And that’s really all that is. It’s the deepest and simplest thing of all. It’s just just loving your kids. And so that’s all I played…I felt like it was just important to give the audience that sort of purity.”

Sterne looked at hundreds of actors to cast the royal sons. He told Debicki, “It was just crucial that we had to get them right and we just really wanted you to feel you had your boys.”

Juxtaposing the private moments were the very public moments, images seared into the public’s mind, such as that of the Princess sitting on the edge of a diving boat aboard Dodi’s yacht in the Mediterranean Sea.

Hall said those were intimidating to recreate because the public images existed. But once the team had “found our way of presenting Diana in private on holiday, that moment wasn’t a struggle in the end. It’s this beautiful long shot of this woman. It was just that it was all there and we had found the character and I think in that moment you could really see that.”

The artisans also revealed it took approximately an hour and a half to transform Debicki from the wig application process to spray tanning her. Debicki noted it was important to get the silhouette correct and which was all created through the team in costume, hair and makeup. “Once you create that silhouette then it’s your responsibility and every department’s responsibility to upkeep it.

Following her death, the Princess still appears to certain characters in visions. She appears to The Queen and for that, Phipps wanted a classic piece of music that had been previously used. “It has voices in it, along with the harp that we associated with Diana, and it had a slight twinkle in its eye as well, which was lovely at that moment and heartbreaking.”
