Amen. My favorite composers of all time are Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams. Sadly, Jerry Goldsmith has already left us. I hope that John Williams stays in good health and has a number of years left. There will never be anyone else like those two.
That would have been a much better idea IMO
John Williams age 92 has made so many accomplishments in his craft.
Similarly though a foreign state has no say over how someone chooses to title themselves or others.
I wonder if Prince William knows that Disney, helmed by Iger, rethemed Splash Mountain. I'm sure he remembers his trip to WDW with his mother and Harry. Cameras everywhere captured their plunge down it.
We were there when Princess Diana and her sons visited WDW. They stayed at the Grand Floridian and the park was abuzz when they were there.
I don't begrudge him the honour but what did he do for the Queen to bestow it on him?
That’s what I’m wondering. Universal are the ones building a park in the UK.
I think that's the record for most polo shirts ever in a single Splash log!
If we're just ignoring the overall cultural impact of Disney in the UK over Iger's tenure, then we can directly point to the Disney movies filmed at Pinewood Studios, which is just outside of London. That includes every Star Wars film since Disney has taken over Lucasfilm. Andor also filmed elsewhere in England and at Pinewood. Disney currently is in the middle of a 10 year lease on the studio. Some articles estimate the economic impact of the productions at over $100m per year just for the Star Wars movies. Which is very in line with other production impact studies elsewhere, so probably accurate.
I hear it's what killed her.
Not positive but a generous donation to the King's favourite charity is often part of getting the award. As the others have said it is ceremonial only not like a colonist is invading the halls of parliament or anything.
It's not ceremonial. He is undergoing jousting training as we speak.
