Prince William turned 25 Thursday and gained part of the inheritance left him by his mother, Princess Diana.
William, who is second in line to the throne, gains access to the interest and other income accrued on the $13 million he was left by his mother, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997. William’s Clarence House office would not say what the prince planned to do with the money, estimated at $500,000 to $600,000 a year.
Harry, 22, William’s brother, will gain access to a similar amount when he turns 25. According to Diana’s will, the brothers gain access to the capital sum when they turn 30.
Hollywood hard man Bruce Willis had a lucky escape filming the latest “Die Hard” movie – he nearly lost an eye in a fight. The action star was filming a fight scene against a stuntwoman in “Live Free or Die Hard,” which opens Wednesday. “There’s a scene where I have to let Maggie Q really beat me up … and I took a kick to the head from the stunt girl. If she’d kicked me half a second earlier, it would have taken my eye out.”
It may have sounded like an endorsement, but Bob Barker’s recent remarks about Rosie O’Donnell weren’t meant that way. “The Price Is Right” host, who retired this month after 35 years with the show, told reporters last week at the Daytime Emmy Awards that he had “no doubt” that O’Donnell would make a fine host for the CBS game show. But Barker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he never meant to endorse any potential host and has no role in choosing his replacement. “I have not been asked for my opinion, nor have I expressed one,” Barker said.
