Queen 'throwing shade' at Alan Titchmarsh's tribute has Jubilee gala viewers howling

One of the hottest tickets in town on the second day of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival wasn’t for a world premiere or even a swanky, beachfront party. Attendees, press, and fans were hyped for an hour-long tribute to the one and only Tom Cruise, a star not known for public Q&A’s let alone serious interviews these days.

It was never just about being in front of the camera, but being a fervent student of cinema for Tom Cruise.

Phillip Schofield has revealed that Tom Cruise "caused absolute chaos" at the Queen 's Platinum Jubilee Celebration on Sunday 15 May. The actor, whose daughter lives an "ordinary" life in Brixton and is married to a British man, was slammed by viewers for "using" the occasion to plug his latest film, a sequel to classic '80s movie Top Gun. And now it turns out the 59 year old star decided to ignore protocol and walk through the historic town of Windsor, rather than being driven, which resulted in him being mobbed by fans.

Just smile and wave. Queen Elizabeth II made a rare appearance at a public event amid health issues that have kept her from her royal duties — and one comedian carefully cracked a bold joke at her expense.

ITV were today accused of allowing Tom Cruise to hijack and 'cheapen' the opening event of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee so he could promote Top Gun 2 in return for reading for less than a minute from an Autocue. The 59-year-old American star was mobbed by fans as he arrived at the Royal Windsor Horse Show before a 55-second appearance where he introduced the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery as 'one of the most enthralling, thrilling, heart-in-mouth displays' he'd ever seen. But there were no stunts from him, as he then enjoyed a much longer interview with Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham at the celebratory evening, where he describe his new film as being made 'for the fans' after the hosts also raved about his new film.

One was certainly amused, as The Queen laughed at comedian Omid Djalili's joke as she attended the Platinum Jubilee Celebration at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. Her Majesty, 96, appeared in a happy mood as she watched 1,300 acts and 500 horses perform in her honour during the commemorative event held this past weekend.

When the Azerbaijani contingent arrived, hurling fire around and doing handstands on horseback, there was a moment of actual excitement. But that’s the level of daredevilry it takes to entertain a television audience in 2022 and, short of literally firing horses out of cannons, it’s a hard one to sustain.

Tom Cruise’s daughter Isabella is the eldest of his and actress Nicole Kidman’s children. But instead of living a very Hollywood lifestyle, the 29 year old prefers the quiet of Croydon to that of California. Artist Isabella ‘Bella’ Kidman Cruise was adopted by Tom, 59, and Nicole, 54, in 1992, two years after their wedding.

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration featured an unfortunate mishap as Martin Clunes was misidentified as another actor. As he appeared on screen to present midway through the night, the banner underneath the Doc Martin star read "Damian Lewis OBE." The 60 year old Doc Martin actor was presenting a section of the Gallop Through Time performance at the Windsor Arena when he was accidentally confused with Band of Brothers star Damian Lewis. Viewers were left "absolutely cringing" by the blunder, which was swiftly resolved.
