How Jamie Lloyd and Rachel Zegler Brought a Brand-New Evita to the West End
'My dad was a truck driver, and he used to play Evita in the cab as he drove. It was his favorite musical. Hearing it again, I suddenly had these vivid memories of sitting in the passenger seat of his big HGV driving around industrial estates and up these bleak, gray motorways up and down the country. He knew every word, and he'd sing along.' Jamie Lloyd smiles. Now one of the most celebrated theater directors in the world, he is about to open his own version of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's famed musical at the London Palladium. 'If my dad were around, it would just blow his mind.' Playing Eva Perón? Rachel Zegler, swapping the wide-eyed innocence of Maria in Steven Spielberg's 2021 film of West Side Story and the lead in Disney's recent live-action remake of Snow White for the sharp-edged complexities of the Argentine first lady, a constantly contested figure. Director and star are standing in a sun-flecked garden in southeast London, today's substitute for Las Pampas, with the Thames flowing serenely by. Rehearsals started yesterday and they talk with quiet intensity as they sit at a small table or stand, heads together, on the grass by the river. They make an odd couple: she's 24, petite and bouncy, in constant movement, the ribbons on the sleeves of her Dior dress—she's an ambassador for the house, for both fashion and beauty—streaming behind her in the breeze. Aged 44, he's quieter, more grounded, with muscled shoulders under his skintight T-shirt, the scrolling tattoos on his shaved head just visible beneath his trademark hat. There's an instant complicity as he outlines his plans for the production and she peppers him with questions while her goldendoodle, Lennie (after West Side Story composer Leonard Bernstein), bounds around their feet. Their excitement about the project is clear.

Tobi Masa: New York's celebrated Masayoshi Takayama is bringing his three-star sushi to the Chancery Rosewood
One of the most influential figures in modern Japanese cuisine, Masayoshi 'Masa' Takayama, is to open a standalone restaurant in London for the first time. Tobi Masa will launch at the Chancery Rosewood hotel in September, where Masa will bring his famous sushi, snacks and small plates to the new Mayfair hotel. The Standard understands the restaurant will be a continuation of Masa's self-titled restaurant in New York, which, with encouragement from the legendary American chef Thomas Keller, he opened in 2004 and which has held three Michelin stars since 2009. Soon after opening in NYC, the New York Times said Masa 'changed the sushi game', introducing a new style of omakase to the city, combining fish from Japan with luxury ingredients such as white truffle, caviar, and foie gras. Wagyu beef is almost a staple, while the price of a meal starts at around $1,000 per head before drinks and service charge, according to US media. That same high-end concept is to be brought to London at Tobi (which loosely translates as 'to fly') Masa and the chef promised equal precision, minimalism, and fine ingredients as are used across the Atlantic. The menu at the upcoming restaurant will feature some of the dishes that helped define the original, including tuna tartare with caviar and Peking duck tacos, alongside new creations developed for London. 'I'm so proud to be partnering with a creative and innovative brand like Rosewood,' said Masa, who featured on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown in 2016, showing the US chef around his native Japan. 'We are very excited to embark on this new adventure together, and especially in such a historic landmark building in the middle of Mayfair.' The move marks Masa's second foray into London. The chef is also behind Sushi by Masa, a more casual, less high-profile sushi experience at Harrods department store, though the Standard understands this contract is to finish in October and so the Rosewood will be his only UK operation. The much-anticipated hotel is located in the former US Embassy in Mayfair and Tobi Masa is expected to be one of many new restaurants at the site. One is another New York import, the celebrity-filled Italian-American restaurant Carbone (a favourite of Barack Obama) and which is also set to open in the autumn. Tobi Masa is to open at The Chancery Rosewood in September 2025 in line with the hotel. 30 Grosvenor Square W1K,

King Charles' rift with Prince Harry deepens as Queen Camilla refuses to intervene: experts
Queen Camilla is not getting in the middle of a feud between her husband and his estranged son. As King Charles III and Prince Harry's relationship continues to be fractured, a source recently told People magazine that the 77-year-old "stays out of it." According to the outlet, Prince William also "remains distant" from his brother, who made his royal exit in 2020. "Despite this hands-off approach to the feud, Camilla's stabilizing support is felt in the background as she continues to support King Charles in private," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich claimed to Fox News Digital. "Their relationship is one of mutual reliance and comfort, especially as King Charles faces health challenges and endures the emotional toll of the highly publicized family rift," Fordwich shared. "Camilla's presence reassures King Charles, ensuring he remains composed and confident." According to the outlet, some royal observers believe the king, 76, should make the first move in reconnecting with his son. But there's hesitation as many of the royal seniors reportedly don't trust the 40-year-old and his wife, Meghan Markle. "Camilla's strategy of distance and composure in the situation has been received as both dignified and supportive of the monarchy," Fordwich explained. "[However], her approach doesn't heal the ongoing family divide. She's made a rather deliberate choice to keep her distance from the ongoing and highly publicized feud between King Charles and Prince Harry. She's neither intervened nor taken sides. She remains above the fray, particularly after tensions escalated following Prince Harry's recent interviews, as well as his whingefest, 'Spare.'" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as senior members in 2020, citing the unbearable intrusions of the British press and a lack of support from the palace. After their move to California, the couple began to air their grievances in interviews and documentaries. Harry's 2023 memoir, which detailed embarrassing revelations about the House of Windsor, only worsened tensions with his family. In televised interviews to promote the book, Harry accused his stepmother of leaking private conversations to the media to burnish her own reputation. He accused members of the royal family of getting "into bed with the devil" to gain favorable tabloid coverage, singling out Camilla's efforts to rehabilitate her image with the public after her longtime affair with his father. "That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press," Harry told CBS. "There was open willingness on both sides to trade information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on the way to being queen consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street." Harry's rift with his family burst into the open once more with a raw interview he gave to the BBC in May after losing a court case over his security. In a lengthy and at times emotional conversation, Harry expressed his desire for reconciliation. He admitted that his father, who is battling an undisclosed form of cancer, won't speak to him. WATCH: PRINCE HARRY'S JABS AT QUEEN CAMILLA UNFORGIVABLE FOR KING CHARLES: EXPERT The allegations about Camilla were particularly sensitive because of her role in the breakdown of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana, Harry's mother. The late Princess of Wales once described Camilla, who had a long-term affair with Charles, as the third person in their marriage. While many members of the public initially shunned Camilla, she has won fans by taking on a wide range of charitable activities and has been credited with helping Charles appear less stuffy and more in tune with modern Britain. Writing about his father's 2005 wedding to Camilla, Harry says, "I had complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who, I believed, had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar." Still, he says he wanted his father to be happy. "In a funny way, I even wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she'd be less dangerous if she was happy?" Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Harry's comments about Camilla were a major blow to the king and likely one of the reasons why he iced his son out. "It is well known that King Charles can become very upset and hot under the collar," said Pelham Turner. "Certainly, Charles is upset about remarks made… about Camilla. She has used the code of silence on the subject, similar to her own experiences while there were three in the marriage, as stated by Princess Diana." "Charles can be quite volatile at times when provoked," Pelham Turner claimed. He noted that William's reported decision to turn his back on Harry is "another hot potato for Camilla." "She's wisely stepping back, allowing the in-fighting to proceed," Turner claimed. Royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that Harry's relationship with William is nonexistent. In a 2023 interview with "Good Morning America," Harry said that he hadn't spoken to Camilla in "a long time." "I love every member of my family, despite the differences," he clarified. "So when I see her, we're perfectly pleasant with each other. She's my stepmother. I don't look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and done everything she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake." "She had a reputation or an image to rehabilitate, and whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way to doing it," he told the outlet. Fordwich said that from the beginning Camilla "distanced herself emotionally" after the fallout of "Spare." "Queen Camilla is supportive of King Charles, and these have been extremely difficult times for him as he battles cancer," royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "She won't have appreciated Harry's references to her in his memoir and his interviews promoting it. [The revelations] enraged the king to the extent that he evicted the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, their base in Britain." "The problems relating to the royal rift weigh on the king as it involves his wayward son," Fitzwilliams claimed. "It has also been bad for the institution of the monarchy… Camilla will unquestionably be loyal but is highly unlikely to get involved in any peacemaking efforts with a couple she obviously cannot trust." Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People magazine that there has been a desire to reconnect on Charles's side, but "the underlying issue is trust." "The king and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation," she said. Insiders told the outlet that William, in particular, "has shown no interest in extending an olive branch." British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard claimed to Fox News Digital that Camilla is continuing to keep her head down as the family rift deepens. "Camilla is disappointed and sad about Prince Harry's behavior towards her," Chard claimed. "However, she is a tough cookie, has a strong sense of self and doesn't dwell on negativity. After all, she has received far worse public abuse over the years. She rises above any problems and just gets on with the tasks in hand." "She is more concerned with supporting her husband with his health challenges and demanding work schedule," Chard shared. "To move forward, Harry needs to… try and build up some trust and dialogue with his family in private. Until then, there are obvious consequences." "The ball is firmly in Prince Harry's court," Chard added.
