The King is scheduled to attend the show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Friday which will see Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish present a musical number from their new show The Devil Wears Prada – based on the 2006 Oscar-nominated film. Cast members Vanessa Williams, who plays Miranda Priestly, and Matt Henry, who stars as art director Nigel, were among those posing on the red carpet ahead of the performance which showcases an original score by Sir Elton. The variety show will also see debuts from British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor with her hit track Murder On The Dancefloor while Eurovision winner Nemo is also featured on the bill. Also posing on the carpet were US magicians and comedy duo Penn and Teller, whose performance marks their 50th anniversary. Comedy will come from Ted Lasso star Ellie Taylor, writer and comic Scott Bennett, Scottish comedian Larry Dean and political comic Matt Forde – who posed on the red carpet with a crutch after undergoing surgery for cancer on his spine. Among the arrivals was TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, who will make an appearance in this year’s show with her Change And Check Choir led by Wet Wet Wet singer Marti Pellow. The choir, made up of women from across the UK who detected their breast cancer through Kelly’s campaign, will perform Love Is All Around, which is being re-released to raise awareness of breast cancer early detection. It comes hours after Camilla insisted the “show must go on” after pulling out of attending the performance on Friday evening as doctors advised that she should prioritise rest. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “Following a recent chest infection, the Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest. “With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight’s Royal Variety Performance. His Majesty will attend as planned.” A royal source said the Queen was “naturally disappointed to miss the evening’s entertainments and sends her sincere apologies to all those involved, but is a great believer that ‘the show must go on'”. “She hopes to be back to full strength and regular public duties very soon,” the source added. The Royal Variety Performance will air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player in December. Money raised from the show will go to help people from the world of entertainment in need of care and assistance, with the Royal Variety Charity launching an initiative to help those with mental health issues this year.

Even at 15 years old, Synthia Elliott knew how to brighten a room. The sophomore at North High School was “the type of person to just give you hope,” Elliott’s longtime friend Malaya Wagner said on Wednesday. “She was very, very wonderful,” Wagner said. “She would always put a smile on your face.” Like many teenagers, Elliott loved music and often spent her time learning dances to post on the social media app TikTok. She was involved in school, serving on the Black Student Leadership Council and working as an athletic assistant for the wrestling and football teams. She thought about what her future might hold — maybe she would become a teacher, Wagner said — but figured she had plenty of time to figure it out. Instead, in late 2022, Elliott was shot in the head and killed inside of her North Omaha bedroom after four men unknown to her shot dozens of times into her home. Police and prosecutors would come to believe that the men meant to target a different house nearby, but couldn’t find it on Google Maps and went instead to the nearest valid address, where Elliott lived with her sister, mother and grandmother. The senseless killing devastated Elliott’s family and friends, who showed up in droves to the Wednesday morning sentencing of 22-year-old Selassie Spencer, one of the four men charged with her murder and the first to be sentenced. Spencer pleaded no contest earlier this year to charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm to commit a felony. Spencer Prosecutors said Spencer deserves to spend “the majority, if not the entirety, of the rest of his life in prison” for shooting into the occupied home with no regard to who may be inside. His defense attorneys made no argument for or against a particular sentence. Douglas County District Court Judge Duane Dougherty sentenced Spencer to 50 to 60 years on the murder charge and 25 to 30 years on the gun charge. The sentences will be served consecutively for a total of 75 to 90 years in prison. Spencer will be eligible for parole in 40 years and will have a mandatory release date in about 47 years. On the evening of Nov. 30, 2022, two eyewitnesses saw a black Mini Cooper pull up outside of Elliott’s home near 37th and Pinkney Streets shortly before 8:30 p.m. Elliott was the only person home at the time. Witnesses would later tell police that they saw four men wearing surgical masks and coats exit the Mini Cooper before returning to the car to retrieve firearms. All four of the men fired into the house, detectives said, and 37 spent casings were later found outside of the home. Seventeen bullets were found inside of the house. One of those bullets struck Elliott in the head. By the time police arrived, she was dead. The men were later identified as Spencer and three others: Kash Davis, 21; Latrail Washington, 22; and Jarrious Hill, 21. The four were taken into custody within hours of Elliott’s killing. A detective would later testify that they initially fled to Davis’ sister’s apartment near North 93rd Avenue and Blair High Road before walking to a nearby apartment belonging to Davis’ mother. They were taken into custody in the apartment complex parking lot shortly before 10 p.m., and four firearms were recovered from the apartment. Hill Davis Washington An exact motive for the shooting remains unclear. Elliott is not believed to have been connected with the four men in any way. When Washington’s phone was searched, investigators found that he looked up two addresses on 37th Street — but the house numbers he searched did not exist. The next valid address was Elliott’s residence. Photos of her home from Google Maps street view were saved on Washington’s phone. “Somebody put them up to shooting up the house,” Cynthia Williams, Elliott’s grandmother, told the World-Herald in January 2023 . “Either that or they just totally got the wrong house.” Spencer’s defense attorneys and prosecutors agreed that Elliott’s killing was senseless, pointless and “stupid.” In a brief statement to the court, defense attorney Michael Bianchi outlined some of Spencer’s background. He is the oldest of four children, grew up in-and-out of foster care, and never had much of a relationship with his father. He has two prior felony convictions and spent time in state prison prior to Elliott’s killing. “While I can go ahead and say all these things about my client — what a wonderful mom he has, a tough childhood. ... We’re here today because this poor young lady is not here, because of the stupidity of our client,” Bianchi said. Deputy Douglas County Attorney Shawn Hagerty said Elliott’s killing was “so stupidly pointless.” He took issue with Spencer referring to the killing as “accidental” in his pre-sentence investigation. “There’s nothing accidental about what they were trying to do,” Hagerty said. “There’s an expectation that if you’re shooting into a house dozens of times, you’re going to hurt or kill someone. You’re shooting into a house for no reason. ... Because of something you heard on the street or read on your phone. “And this poor 15-year-old girl, I can only imagine the last moments of her life. Terrified at what was happening, and then she’s gone. For absolutely no reason.” Spencer addressed the court shortly before his sentence was announced. He asked for forgiveness and said he would spend his time in prison working to prevent other people from making the same mistakes. “Taking a life is a burden I will carry for the rest of my life,” he said. “Truly, my heart is not evil. My empathy is sincere. Although I am deeply saddened by my choices, I take full responsibility.” Spencer was the second of the four defendants to accept a plea deal, but the first to be sentenced. Hill pleaded no contest to second-degree murder and use of a firearm to commit a felony in January, but a sentencing date has not been set. Court documents indicate that Hill is undergoing additional examination of his “physical and mental fitness” to provide Dougherty more information at sentencing. Davis and Washington are set to go to trial in March. They will be tried together unless one of them accepts a plea deal. Spencer and Washington had both been previously convicted of felony gun charges and were released from prison in the two months prior to Elliott’s killing.
