El grave error que la casa real ha cometido con el hijo de Meghan Markle y Harry

Era el momento más esperado por la prensa. Y finalmente llegó. Pero quizás por esa gran expectación era inevitable que hubiese algún error. El nacimiento del pequeño Archie Harrison el pasado 6 de mayo pasadas las 5 de la madrugada fue todo un boom mediático.
Sus papás, Meghan Markle y el príncipe Harry, aparecerían 48 horas después presentando a su precioso bebé al mundo. Todo fue llegando a cuentagotas, pues tras mostrarlo ante las cámaras nos dejarían con las ganas de saber el nombre.
Hasta unas horas después que lo hicieron público en las redes sociales. Pero el anuncio llegaría con un garrafal error por parte de la casa real que aseguraba que el pequeño era el bebé de los Duques de Cambridge en vez de los de Sussex.
Un despiste que según muchos una institución como la suya no se debería permitir. Sin embargo, el error fue corregido minutos después ante la cantidad de comentarios que hacían referencia al mismo en dicha publicación.
“¡Parece que el príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle no son los únicos que no han pegado ojo estos días”, “Alguien debe decirle a Catalina de Cambridge que acaba de tener un bebé sin su consentimiento”, decían algunos de los comentarios con sentido del humor.
Lo cierto es que la confusión la corrección se hizo de inmediato. Además, el bebé ya cuenta con su propia página web desde donde se ofrecerán todas las noticias relacionadas con el chiquitín más popular del momento.

Taylor Swift pulled out all the stops for her latest single, "Yo!"
She made fun of the song's release for two weeks, then formally announced it with an appearance during ABC's coverage of the N.F.L. draft. Its launch, on April 26, received full coverage, and Swift spent the next week promoting it, through a presentation at the Billboard Music Awards and a series of merchandise and music offers on its website, including four versions of vinyl and even a simple autographed CD.
But once all the numbers were counted, "Yo!", Which featured Brendon Urie of the band Panic! at the Disco - still away from No. 1 for this year's weirdest musical game: "Old Town Road," Lil Nas X's country-trap hybrid, which had its fifth week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 graphic.
"I!" Start at number 2
The positions in the Hot 100, the main chart of Billboard singles, are calculated through a combination of sales, transmission numbers and radio and radio. And while "Yo!" Had the most sales in the week (206,000 copies sold, compared to the 88,000 of Lil Nas X), according to Nielsen, was beaten by "Old Town Road" in both streaming and airplay .
"Old Town Road" had 103 million broadcasts in the United States last week, its third consecutive with 100 million to the north, while "Yo!" He had just under 51 million. "Old Town Road," which was initially ignored on the radio, was played 10,750 times at US stations last week; "I!" It was spun 7,854 times. (However, if you turned on the radio, you were more likely to hear the "Wow" from Post Malone, which was heard 12,443 times).
AD

In Billboard's latest album list, Pink is number 1 for the third time in a row with "Hurts 2B Human," which opened with the equivalent of 115,000 sales, including 95,000 copies of the entire album and 17.6 million transmissions.
"People" by Hillsong United, the musical arm of the Hillsong mega church, whose followers include Justin Bieber, opened in second place on the album list with 107,000 sales. It was the highest position on the chart so far for the group, which has been in the Top 10 three times in the last six years.

The rapper Schoolboy Q opened at number 3 with "Crash Talk," while last week, Billie Eilish's hit, "When are we going to sleep?", Billie Eilish, fell to fourth place, and "Free Spirit "by Khalid is No 5.
This week we also presented two graphics news that will be seen closely in the industry. On Monday, Billboard announced that by the end of this year, it would present Global 100, which said it would classify songs using data from 180 countries.
And on Tuesday, in what could be a major challenge for the valuable Billboard franchise, Rolling Stone said that next week it would begin publishing a portfolio of new charts with numbers from Alpha Data, the tracking service formerly known as BuzzAngle Music.

Everything to Know About Kim Kardashian's Complex Relationship with the White House — and Her Dinner with Jared & Ivank

The journey that took Kim Kardashian to the Trump White House began with a single tweet.
Over the last year, Kardashian West, 38, has been making criminal justice reform a priority — a surprising evolution to some, she realizes, given her reality TV background.
“It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people, and I’ve always known my role,” she told Vogue in a May cover story, in which she also opened up about studying to become a lawyer.
“I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society,” she said. “I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.”
The revelation that she’s pursuing a law career — despite never having graduated from college — had many fans raising an eyebrow, but sources previously told PEOPLE that Kardashian West was brushing off any negative feedback.
“Kim realizes that some people are laughing at her for the lawyer thing, but she really doesn’t care,” a source told PEOPLE last week. “She is focused that this is what she wants to do and she’s going to do it, regardless of what people think.”
Splash News Online
It was 18 months ago that Kardashian West first shared a viral tweet about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother imprisoned in Alabama for life for a nonviolent drug crime. Since then, she’s repeatedly, successfully lobbied President Donald Trump’s administration on criminal justice issues, according to others involved in the process.
Kardashian West has stopped short of voicing broader support for the president — something other family members like Caitlyn Jenner and husband Kanye West have done (though Jenner changed her mind). But the reality star has taken part in a bipartisan group of White House officials, lawmakers and activists like CNN’s Van Jones who are working on prison reform.
“She brings an important spotlight to this issue,” a source familiar with her White House work tells PEOPLE, noting the instant headlines her attention can generate. “Any time you ask her for anything, she immediately tries to be helpful.”

Managing Public Opinion of Her White House Connections

While working with the Trump administration, Kardashian West has developed a relationship with the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Kushner, 38, is one of the few senior aides to survive rapid turnover over the last two years despite widespread scrutiny of qualifications.
According to the insider, Kardashian West was connected to Kushner by his wife, Ivanka Trump, after Kardashian West first saw the viral tweet about Johnson in 2017.
In the initial months, Kardashian West’s focus was on freeing Johnson. During a high-profile trip to the White House last May, she met with the president himself in the Oval Office. She seemed to have some effect: Within weeks of her visit, Trump had commuted Johnson’s life sentence.
But the solemn tone of that appearance stood in stark contrast to the fawning and rambunctious affection her husband displayed for the president in his own October meeting.
“Kim did not support Trump, and her family didn’t support him,” another source previously told PEOPLE.
“But,” said this source, “she knows that she has a very rare opportunity to have the ear of the president, and she has some things that she’s very passionate about and is willing to meet with him to talk about the things she believes.”

Kardashian West was also accused of being used as a political pawn by the Trump White House, which has been almost entirely shut-out by prominent celebrities.
“I was working on this before. I don’t think I would be used,” she said in an interview with Jones last year. “At the end of the day, he [Trump] heard me out. We got the job done. What could he really use me for?”
Speaking to Vogue, Kardashian West clarified her and her husband’s relationship with politics.
He “doesn’t represent either side,” she told the magazine. “But he doesn’t want to be told what he should be. It can be confusing. I get it. The one thing that I respect so much is that he is who he is, no matter what anyone tries to tell him to do.”
Of her own Oval Office visit, she told Jones last week, “I made a decision to go to the White House when everyone was telling me, ‘Don’t go, your career will be over; you can’t step foot in there.’ And I was like, ‘It’s my reputation over someone’s life?’ Weigh that out. People talk s— about me all day long. It will just be another story about me versus someone getting their life back.”
According to the person familiar with Kardashian West’s White House relationships, she’s only gotten more involved since advocating on Johnson’s behalf.
“She’s extraordinarily attentive,” the source says. “She knows that she doesn’t necessarily have the legal background, for example, but she does bring an important sort of — I don’t know if ‘comms’ is the right word — she understands what matters to people.”

Game of Thrones (season 8)

The eighth and final season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones, produced by HBO, premiered on April 14, 2019. Filming officially began on October 23, 2017 and concluded in July 2018.
Unlike the first six seasons that each had ten episodes and the seventh that had seven episodes, the eighth season only has six episodes. Like the previous season, it largely consists of original content not found in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series and adapts material Martin revealed to the showrunners about the upcoming novels in the series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. The season was adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

681"Winterfell"David NutterDave HillApril 14, 201911.76[5]
Upon reaching Winterfell with their combined armies, Jon and Daenerys learn the White Walkers have breached the Wall and the Night King commands the undead Viserion. In response, the Northern lords and their allies rally around Winterfell but distrust Daenerys and doubt Cersei's pledge. At King's Landing, Euron returns from Essos with the Golden Company and entices Cersei into consummating their union while Qyburn, acting on Cersei's orders, hires Bronn to assassinate Tyrion and Jaime. Theon rescues Yara, who sets out to retake the Iron Islands, before departing for Winterfell to help fight the Army of the Dead. At Winterfell, Jon reunites with Bran and Arya, and, with Daenerys' encouragement, learns to ride Rhaegal. After meeting Daenerys and learning she executed his father and brother, Sam tells Jon about his true identity. Tormund and Beric, who survived the Wall's destruction, encounter Edd and several Night's Watch members at House Umber's seat of Last Hearth, finding its occupants, including Ned Umber, dead and a message from the Night King. The following day, Jaime arrives at Winterfell and encounters Bran.
692"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms"David NutterBryan CogmanApril 21, 201910.29[6]
Jaime reveals Cersei's deception to the Targaryen–Stark alliance and, despite Daenerys's and Sansa's mistrust, joins their forces after Brienne vouches for him. Jaime later apologizes to Bran for crippling him, with Bran saying he is not angry, and they are no longer the same people. Tyrion loses Daenerys' favor for having trusted Cersei, prompting Jorah to ask her to forgive his mistakes. Daenerys fails to gain Sansa's trust through their mutual love for Jon after refusing to give any assurances about the North's fate. Theon, Edd, Tormund, and Beric arrive at Winterfell, with the latter three reporting House Umber's fall. Bran proposes that he lure out the Night King, who intends to destroy the Three-Eyed Raven. His plan is reluctantly accepted, with Theon and the Ironborn offering their protection. Gendry finishes a special weapon for Arya, who then seduces him. Tyrion, Jaime, Davos, Brienne, Podrick, and Tormund share a drink, during which Jaime formally knights Brienne. Jorah fails to dissuade Lyanna Mormont from fighting and receives House Tarly's ancestral sword as a gift from Sam. As the Army of the Dead approaches, Daenerys finds Jon at Lyanna Stark's tomb and learns about his Targaryen lineage and claim to the Iron Throne.

Cast

Main cast

Guest cast

The recurring actors listed here are those who appeared in season 8. They are listed by the region in which they first appear.

Production

Development

HBO announced the eighth and final season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones in July 2016.[31][32] Like the previous season, it largely consists of original content not found in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.[33] As Benioff had verified in March 2015, the creators have talked with Martin about the end of the series, and they "know where things are heading". He explained that the ends of both the television and the book series will unavoidably be thematically similar, although Martin could still make some changes to surprise the readers.[34] When asked about why the television series is coming to an end, he stated: "this is where the story ends".[35]

Crew

Series creators, and executive producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss serve as showrunners for season 8. The directors for the eighth season were announced in September 2017. Miguel Sapochnik, who previously directed "The Gift" and "Hardhome" in season 5, as well as "Battle of the Bastards" and "The Winds of Winter" in season 6, returned to direct two episodes. David Nutter, who had directed two episodes each in seasons 2, 3, and 5, including "The Rains of Castamere" and "Mother's Mercy", directed three episodes for season 8. The final episode of the series was directed by Benioff and Weiss, who have previously co-directed two episodes, taking credit for one episode each.[1]
At the series' South by Southwest panel on March 12, 2017, Benioff and Weiss announced the writers for the series to be Dave Hill (episode 1) and Bryan Cogman(episode 2). The showrunners divided up the screenplay for the remaining four episodes amongst themselves.[36]

Writing

Writing for the eighth season started with a 140-page outline. Benioff said that the divvying up process and who should write what section became more difficult because "this would be the last time that we would be doing this".[37]

Filming

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, HBO programming president Casey Bloys stated that instead of the series finale's being a feature film, the final season would be "six one-hour movies" on television. He continued, "The show has proven that TV is every bit as impressive and in many cases more so, than film. What they're doing is monumental".[38] Filming officially began on October 23, 2017[39] and concluded in July 2018.[40] Many exterior scenes were filmed in Northern Ireland, and a few in Dubrovnik, Croatia; Paint Hall Studios in Belfast were used for interior filming.[41]

Casting

The eighth season sees the return of Tobias Menzies as Edmure Tully and Lino Facioli as Robin Arryn, neither of whom appeared in season 7.[42] Marc Rissmann has been cast as Harry Strickland, the commander of the Golden Company.[43]

Content

Co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have said that seasons 7 and 8 would likely comprise fewer episodes, stating that after season 6, they were "down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We're heading into the final lap".[44][45] Benioff and Weiss stated that they were unable to produce 10 episodes in the series' usual 12 to 14-month timeframe, as Weiss explained, "It's crossing out of a television schedule into more of a mid-range movie schedule".[44] HBO confirmed in July 2016, that the seventh season would consist of seven episodes and would premiere later than usual in mid-2017 because of the later filming schedule.[46] Benioff and Weiss later confirmed that the eighth season would consist of six episodes, and would premiere later than usual for the same reason.[47]
Benioff and Weiss said about the end of the series: "From the beginning we've wanted to tell a 70-hour movie. It will turn out to be a 73-hour movie, but it's stayed relatively the same of having the beginning, middle and now we're coming to the end. It would have been really tough if we lost any core cast members along the way, I'm very happy we've kept everyone and we get to finish it the way we want to".[47] The first two episodes are, respectively, 54 and 58 minutes long, while the final four episodes of the series are all more than an hour in length—episode three is 82 minutes (making it the longest episode of the series), episode four is 78 minutes and the last two are each 80 minutes.[48]
A two-hour documentary, Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, which documents the making of season 8, is due to air on May 26, the week after the series finale.[49]

Music

Ramin Djawadi returned as the series' composer for season 8.[50]

Release

Broadcast

The season premiered on April 14, 2019.[51]

Marketing

On December 6, 2018, HBO released the first official teaser trailer for the eighth season.[52] A second teaser trailer was released on January 13, 2019, which announced the premiere date as April 14, 2019. The trailer was directed by David Nutter.[53] HBO released a promotional advertisement with Bud Light on February 3, 2019, during Super Bowl LIII.[54] Later, first-look photos of several main characters were released on February 6, 2019.[55] On February 28, posters of many of the main characters sitting upon the Iron Throne were released.[26] The official full trailer was released on March 5, 2019.[27]

Illegal distribution

The season premiere was reportedly pirated by nearly 55 million people within the first 24 hours of release. Of these numbers, 9.5 million downloads came from India, 5.2 million came from China, and 4 million came from the U.S.[56] On April 21, 2019, it was reported that the second episode of the season was illegally leaked online hours before it aired due to being streamed early on Amazon Prime Germany.[57]

Reception

Critical response

On Metacritic, the eighth season (based on the first episode) has a score of 74 out of 100 based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[58] On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a 90% approval rating from 172 critics with an average rating of 8.09 out of 10.[59]
