Solo Beatles Albums, Definitively Ranked

Solo Beatles Albums, Definitively Ranked

Published by Jenni Sidey

On the 10th of April 1970, Paul McCartney announced what had, by then, been falsely reported so many times as to seem almost impossible—The Beatles, the biggest band to ever do it, were finished. Within a week, McCartney had released his first solo record. Before the year was out, all three of his former bandmates had done the same. And as of today, the solo Beatles have collectively produced around 85 albums, depending how you count. That’s a lot to wade through for anyone keen on venturing beyond the band’s tight 12-studio-album discography. But wade we must, and there is so much to learn in our wading. These records are charged with parting barbs and so variously excellent and awful and bewildering. They contain not just a huge quantity of interesting and enjoyable music, but a path toward an understanding of what it was that made the band work as it did. Who was good at what? Who needed what from whom, whose instincts were balanced by whose, and what kinds of adventures might result …

Princess Beatrice’s husband jets off on solo trip as royal spends time with disgraced father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Princess Beatrice’s husband jets off on solo trip as royal spends time with disgraced father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

Published by Daniella Wilson

Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, has jetted off on a solo trip abroad as the royal spends time with her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Edo, who shares daughters Sienna, four, and Athena, one, with Beatrice, is currently spending time in the sun in Miami, Florida.   Taking to Instagram, Edo shared snaps of palm trees and the exterior of restaurant Le Bilboquet, located in Palm Beach. The eatery offers “elevated” French bistro cuisine using local ingredients from South Florida, and even saw Brooklyn Beckham putting his spin on a Cajun chicken sandwich in the kitchens last month.  The destination is one of which the family is clearly fond, as Dara Huang, Edo’s ex-fiancée, is from Florida, so it’s somewhere their son Christopher, informally known as Wolfie, nine, has previously enjoyed spending his holidays. Meanwhile, back in the UK, Princess Beatrice was seen showing her support for her disgraced father, Andrew, after the pair were spotted out on a horse ride with Sienna this week.  In pictures obtained by The Sun, the trio could be seen …

Published by Sam Flores

For the first time in her life as a royal, Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is flying solo. Upon returning to her homeland from Australia, while on holiday from her studies in social sciences at the University of Sydney, the royal embarked on her first official solo trip. Four days after celebrating her 22nd birthday on January 21, Princess Ingrid Alexandra headed to the Norwegian county of Finnmark, one of the northernmost areas of Europe bordering Finland and Russia. The destination held a special meaning for the royal, as it was the same place her grandparents, King Harald and Queen Sonia, traveled to shortly after their wedding in 1969. The eldest daughter of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Crown Princess Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby spent her first night in Karasjok, where she had the opportunity to meet a family of reindeer herders and was introduced to the customs of the Sámi, the indigenous people who inhabit this area. Visits to the Karasjok School and Sami Parliament followed. Next, the princess travels to another locality, where …
