bitchy | Prince William & Kate’s 150-acre land-grab ensures an ‘uninterrupted view’

It’s so interesting that the Prince and Princess of Wales are still facing so much criticism for their planned move to Forest Lodge on the Windsor estate. In August, the criticism was about why William and Kate “need” a fifth forever home, and why they need a home which is so isolated and in need of such expensive, taxpayer-funded security upgrades. There was also criticism of the fact that William and Kate evicted residents with valid leases living in the cottages around Forest Lodge. One of those residents is an octogenarian cardiologist. This week, there’s a new thread of criticism: the “necessary” security upgrade to Forest Lodge means that a huge part of Windsor Great Park is now closed to pedestrians, pedestrians who pay an annual fee to have access to the park. William and Kate “need” 150 acres to ensure their privacy, as it turns out. Luckily, Will and Kate’s bonkers land-grab is all for a good cause: an interrupted view!

The new security fence at Forest Lodge will not block Prince William and Princess Kate’s views, thanks to a special feature already in place at the estate. The property includes a ha-ha wall, a sunken boundary designed in the 18th century to secure gardens and parks without interrupting the landscape.

The National Trust describes it as “a type of sunken fence… to give the viewer of the garden the illusion of an unbroken, continuous rolling lawn, whilst providing boundaries for grazing livestock.” The name is thought to come from the surprise of encountering the hidden drop, with some suggesting people would exclaim “Ha ha” if they stumbled across it.

While it is not known if the family plans to keep animals beyond their dogs, the wall will not interfere with outdoor play for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The estate itself is surrounded by open countryside, ensuring uninterrupted views across the grounds.

[From GB News]

As I said a few days ago, if I was paying to access the park, I would sue the f–k out of these people. It sounds like this whole thing is less about “security” and more about Kate having her very own country estate with extensive, uninterrupted views. She’s trying to see all the way to Montecito! Meanwhile, People Magazine also had coverage of the land-grab, and they added some new info:

As Kate Middleton and Prince William prepare to move to Forest Lodge in Windsor, new security measures around the home are affecting neighbors. According to The Times, a 2.3-mile perimeter has been enacted around Forest Lodge, where the Prince and Princess of Wales plan to relocate by the end of the year. As of Sunday, Sept. 28, locals no longer have access to the area — and trespassers are to be arrested under the Home Office’s security plans.

Fences were being installed on Sept. 28, with neighbors losing access to the Cranbourne Gate entrance and parking lot of Windsor Great Park, which they pay around $150 per year to use, according to the outlet.

The Daily Mail previously reported that two households near Forest Lodge were asked to vacate earlier this summer. PEOPLE understands that there were no eviction notices, and the tenants have moved to similar or better housing within Windsor Great Park, with everyone remaining in Crown Estate properties.

In another move to ensure their privacy, Prince William and Princess Kate will continue not to have any live-in staff after their move to Forest Lodge, PEOPLE understands. Their three children’s longtime nanny, Maria Turrion Borrallo, and housekeepers will likely stay in smaller properties nearby.

[From People]

Did we already know that? I think it was more of an assumption, that of course the Waleses’ staffers would not be live-in. But to see it written in People Mag is interesting. So much privacy! Weird that they’re not the ones described as “privacy obsessed,” right? Even Nanny Maria can’t live-in. They can’t even allow a cardiologist to live somewhat close-by!

Are you watching anything else?

Television now seems to be people trying to bonk each other on islands, game shows or news shows, so it’s not terribly interesting. I mean, it’s been stolen by the streamers, which is really bad news. They’ve uninvented television and it’s very sad.

Do you miss watching television?

Growing up, my generation – so that’s all of the Pythons – grew up without television. That’s quite a big difference, rarely observed. We grew up with radio, where the words involve your imagination much more. On radio, the Goons could set the Thames on fire.

Is listening to radio where your love of language comes from?

It meant we had a bias towards language; Terry Gilliam was the one putting in all the imagery. If you look at the Python sketches that are really funny, they all evolved from language – Argument Clinic, for example. Later, as we did on a couple of German shows, they were largely visual sketches. But that was because we had to learn them in German and we didn’t want to talk.

When did you realise that you were on to something with Monty Python?

When we were given our TV show, it was late on a Sunday night and the BBC was just trying to see if anybody was awake after 10pm and the pubs were closed. What was really lovely was that we could please ourselves, there was no one overseeing us, so it was executive-free comedy and all the funnier for it. No executive has ever improved a comedy.

What makes you laugh today?

What South Park is doing with Trump is heroic and I know they’ve done him a lot of damage. There’s a reason Hitler and Trump get rid of the comedians first. They hate being laughed at. So, it’s great that Governor Newsom is taking the p*** out of Trump and his hands. Comedy is saying the right thing at the wrong time. It’s so important. It’s telling truth to power and it’s keeping people sane. I was in the war, we laughed at Hitler and it makes a difference because it diminishes their power. I think it connects with an undercurrent of anti- and that’s vital. Stephen Colbert [who just won an Emmy as host of the US Late Show] was fired by his network very pusillanimously, but he’s got till May to say anything he likes.

You’re prodigious in your output. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I think it comes from boarding school. I was there for 12 years in Wolverhampton, and it wasn’t the most exciting place to be. Reading became a great escape. And the older you got, the more you wanted to read. History and literature is fascinating. I like geography, too. I made my own escape.

You’re touring again. What appeals about performing live?

I’ve always liked getting out there. On that stage, you must make the audience laugh, and if you do, you can surf that laughter; it lifts you up. So I’ve tried to go on stage at least once a year, especially in my later years, because it’s important to scare yourself, and to make sure you’ve still got that skill.

Is it a farewell tour?

Everywhere should always be goodbye. At my age [82], most of your friends are dead, which isn’t great. But it’s important to remember them, and remember them as funny. In my show, I talk about and show clips of old friends and sing songs about them. I sing a song called This May Be the Last Time You See Me, because it might be.

Your song Always Look on the Bright Side of Life gets played at funerals a lot. What will be played at yours?

Well, I used to say Sit on My Face, but my wife said I can’t say that any more.

Is ‘The View’ Getting Canceled? Update on the Show’s Future – Hollywood Life

Entertainment and news media have seen shocking shake-ups in the past year. From late 2024 into early 2025, major TV anchors and hosts abruptly exited their roles at top networks, while others were cut altogether, including Stephen Colbert. The turbulence only escalated when Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was suspended after controversial monologue comments.

With so many high-profile changes, viewers are now speculating about who could be next. One show in particular has sparked questions: will ABC’s longtime daytime staple The View be taken off the air?

Below, Hollywood Life has a full breakdown on what’s going on and whether or not The View could be canceled.

The View Current Co-Hosts

Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farrah Griffin, Ana Navarro and Sara Haines are the current co-hosts of the daytime TV show. Whoopi is the longest-running co-host of The View, having worked with the show for nearly 20 consecutive seasons.

Is The View Canceled?

No, The View has not been canceled by ABC. Rumors of a cancelation have been spreading all over social media since at least 2024, with many criticizing the show for its political segments. While all co-hosts have criticized Donald Trump and his administration, the most outspoken critic on the show is Whoopi. But Joy managed to poke the bear enough to initiate a response from the White House in July 2025. She joked that Trump is “jealous” of former President Barack Obama.

“Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a White House spokesperson told multiple outlets. “It’s no surprise that The View’s ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump’s historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off-air.”

The View had its highest viewership in about two years back in February 2024, according to The Wrap. At the time, Executive Producer Brian Teta told the publication that the show’s uptick in audience numbers was due, in part, to the guests they’ve invited onto the show in recent years.

“Daytime audiences turn to The View for news and politics, and this presidential election year is off to a great start,” Brian told The Wrap. “We’ve had some tremendous political guests in January including Vice President Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney and Chris Christie and just this week, we welcomed Democratic Leader Hakeem Jefferies. Politicians know that if they want to speak to an engaged audience, there’s no better place to be. There are conversations happening at this table during ‘Hot Topics,’ and with our guests during interviews that aren’t happening anywhere else on television … and we’re also having a lot of fun.”

Canceled News Shows

Toward the end of 2024 and at the start of 2025, a wide array of news shows were axed from their networks. Joy Reid‘s MSNBC show The ReidOut is reportedly being cut from the network. Previously, CBS Evening News‘ Norah O’Donnell, Today’s’s Hoda Kotb, Fox News’ Neil Cavuto and several other anchors stepped down from their positions.

Inside Dhanashree Verma’s home

Shared on YouTube on September 1, the video gives a glimpse inside Dhanashree’s home, where she is living alone for the first time, as she previously lived with her parents and then with her ex-husband, Yuzvendra Chahal. In the video, the choreographer revealed that she enjoys her space and prefers it.

Admiring Dhanashree’s taste in decor, Farah described her home as a lovely space with a ‘very positive vibe’. During the home tour, she shared a glimpse of her living area with an open kitchen concept and a cosy space dedicated to a home bar, the guest bedroom, and her personal music studio.

Stunning interiors and a gorgeous balcony

As for decorations, she revealed that a lot of the paintings on the walls are made by her grandmother, who has Parkinson’s disease, which contributed to their unique texture. Apart from the paintings, modern light fixtures and chandeliers, tropical and modern classic wallpapers, light wood furniture, ambient lighting, pastel closets in the kitchen, large windows allowing natural light, indoor plants, and a spacious balcony giving a stunning view of the Mumbai skyline, brighten up the space.

About Dhanashree Verma’s divorce

Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in 2020 in Gurgaon. However, the couple reportedly separated in 2022. In March 2025, they finalised their divorce.

Since then, Yuzvendra has been linked to RJ Mahvash due to their frequent public appearances together and posts for each other on social media. However, both have repeatedly called each other just friends.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Dhanashree will next be seen in Ashneer Grover’s upcoming reality show Rise And Fall.
