A canceled Kennedy Center debut, a Carnegie Hall stage and De Niro reading 'Lincoln'

NEW YORK (AP) —Robert De Nirowill appear this week at Carnegie Hall, where he will recite excerpts from aPhilip Glasssymphony about Abraham Lincoln that the composer once intended to stage at the Kennedy Center.

Glass announced in January that he called off a scheduled premiere of Symphony No. 15, "Lincoln," in protest of President Donald Trump's ouster of the center's leadership.

Glass' symphony will be part of a benefit Tuesday night for Tibet House US, a nonprofit educational institution which announced the participation of De Niro, a prominent critic of Trump. Glass and Laurie Anderson are the evening's artistic directors.

"Lincoln" is based in part on one of Lincoln's earliest major speeches, the 1838 "Lyceum Address," when the future president assailed mob violence and warned of its dangers to democracy.

"I am so pleased Robert De Niro is going to read the Lincoln speech," Glass said in a statement. "He is absolutely the right person."

Renée Fleming,Lin-Manuel Mirandaand Bela Fleck are among the many other artists who have canceled Kennedy Center events.

Trump has renamed the facility as the Trump Kennedy Center, a change scholars say can only be enacted by Congress. The president, who has made the center a key part of his campaign against so-called "woke" culture, announced last month that the facility will be shut down in July for construction, a project he expects to last for two years.

After the various controversies surrounding ex-PrinceAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor, sources believeMeghan MarkleandPrince Harryface the risk of losing their royal titles. The news comes after Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in office. Andrew Lonnie, a royal biographer, believes the fallout could affect the Sussexes too. Sources say that the royal titles have always been "tied to service." Now that the Sussexes have stepped down as working royals, their titles could be in jeopardy.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might lose Royal titles after Ex-Prince Andrew, says source

The British monarchy could see a major change after the arrest of ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.Radar Onlinereports that a royal biographer believes that titles could be removed from anyone who is not in an "active working role." He added that the royal family will "deal with the Andrew and Harry problem at the same time."

Sources believe that the recent controversies could prompt the royal family to implement reforms. This could include limiting royal titles to those who are actively engaged in official duties. As a result,Prince Harryand Meghan Markle's titles and privileges could also be affected.

As per a senior palace advisor, "titles were historically tied to service." The advisor further suggests that holding a royal title meant that the person was expected to perform visible work to support the Crown and the country. However, when a person no longer serves in that role, it's reasonable for the royal institution to consider whether they should keep the title forever.

A constitutional expert explained that discussions were already going on about who would count as a working royal. However, Andrew's arrest has sped up plans to reform the monarchy.

This could affect Harry andMarkle, who stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 but continue to use their titles.

An expert explained, "If titles are reserved strictly for those carrying out official duties, it would mark a decisive shift – and a very public statement that status within the royal family is conditional on service, not simply birthright."
