Diana Ross, 40 Years After Her Last Nomination, Could Win Her First-Ever Competitive GRAMMY in 2023
As one of the most revered names in music history, Diana Ross has collected many Gold and Platinum plaques for her classic hits over her six-decade career.
But, many would be surprised to know the iconic diva has never won a GRAMMY in the traditional sense. In fact, she was 67-years-old before she’d ever accepted any honor from the Academy – and even then it was the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award.

A unique insight into why Elizabeth Debicki was emulating Princess Diana long before The Crown
The Crown’s portrayal of Diana is upsetting – she wasn’t a wounded animal like she’s presented, says princess’ butler
THE Crown’s portrayal of Diana is “upsetting” – and wrongly shows the princess as a “wounded animal”, her former butler said last night.
The controversial new season of the Netflix series was released on Wednesday, and it recreates the Royal Family‘s lives in the 1990s.

And less than 24 hours after it aired, Diana‘s butler Paul Burrell revealed how he felt about the parts he’d seen so far.
Paul, who worked for the royal family for 21 years, admitted watching the portrayal of the princess was “unnerving” and “very upsetting”.
He was seen wincing when he explained how actress Elizabeth Debicki had near-perfected Diana’s voice on TalkTV.
Speaking on Jeremy Kyle Live last night, Paul said: “It’s my time. I was there.

“I’m finding it very upsetting. She has a very good portrayal of the Princess and that’s unnerving.
“At times, for me, it’s unnerving at times to hear her voice. She’s obviously studied her voice very well.”
But, he was also angered by the show.
Paul said Diana had been portrayed like a victim – which she wasn’t.

He said: “What I don’t like, I don’t like to see the Princess constantly portrayed as a wounded animal, constantly crying, constantly alone.
“They have made her into a very tragic figure, which of course he was but not all the time. We did have some fun.”
Speaking of how King Charles wasn’t being shown in the best light, Paul said: “It’s very timely coming at this time just before Harry’s book and just before the Coronation. It’s going to paint a very different picture.
“The danger is that the public will believe everything they see. I wish I could sit on the couch with everybody in the United Kingdom and say, ‘That’s not true, that didn’t happen’.”

The Father went on to accuse “commercially driven” Netflix of ploughing ahead with the controversial scene just to attract viewers.
He added: “We all know the facts of what happened… there is no need to produce new images of this terrible event.”

Princess Di is played by actress Elizabeth Debicki.
It comes as close friend Simone Simmons told The Sun the hit drama risks forcing William and Harry to recall “the most painful time” of their lives.
She said: “These are cruel, sadistic and wicked people to recreate these moments. They are the lowest of the low.
“They are rewriting history as they go along and that’s what makes me very angry.”
The Crown has already been criticised for blending fact with fiction — and for a storyline showing Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip pursuing an affair with younger peeress Penny Knatchbull.

She wrote: “The closer the drama comes to our present times, the more freely it seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism.”
