With all the commotion around the disappearance from public life and the scandal over an altered photo of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, due to an unknown health condition after a mysterious abdomen surgery, the other daughter-in-law of King Charles, the American actress Meghan Markle , who knew how to be the center of attention more than once for her forceful statements against the British royal family, had remained under the radar.

After a confusing promotional video, it's still unclear what the new project is about. However, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a trademark application was filed for “American Riviera Orchard” on February 2, 2024, Vogue reported .

Evangelina Anderson revealed the “odyssey” she experienced after celebrating River's victory in the Super Cup in Córdoba

 

On Wednesday night the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba became a million-dollar party. River Plate defeated Estudiante de La Plata 2-1 and became champion of the Argentine Super Cup for the fourth time in its history. Evangelina Anderson was part of the celebrations of the great achievement of her husband, Martín Demichelis, but after the joy she did not hesitate to portray on Instagram the “odyssey” that she went through to reach Buenos Aires .

Together with her father and her youngest daughter, Emma, ​​Evangelina Anderson embarked on a trip to Córdoba to accompany Martín Demichelis, who was facing an important challenge as technical director of River Plate. Given the victory, the team celebrated on the field and she also did so on social networks. However, what happened after the big celebration erased her smile a little.

Evangelina's plans changed completely when she wanted to return to Buenos Aires, since her flight was delayed for weather reasons. The facilities of the Cordoba airport became the resting place for her family entourage and during the waiting time she turned to her followers to help her make two important decisions.

Through an Instagram survey, she revealed that the delay changed her plans and she was in a dilemma regarding her little daughter's routine. “Is “little abrojito” going to school tomorrow?” , she asked and the users voted. Her followers recommended that she should be absent and, knowing this, the little girl couldn't stop celebrating.

The second question he raised as the hours passed was related to his work responsibilities, since he had to appear to record The 8 Steps (eltrece), a cycle of which he is part of the jury, and he did not arrive due to the delay of his flight.

ABBA music fused with flamenco, the new proposal that premieres in Madrid

 Classics from the Swedish group ABBA such as 'Waterloo', 'Chiquitita' or 'Mamma Mía' fused with flamenco, that is the new and attractive proposal that will soon premiere at the Teatro la Latina, one of the most important comedy and magazine stages in Madrid.

Upon seeing the good result, they continued the process. "We brought ABBA more towards flamenco than we did towards ABBA; joys, jaleo, rumba or abandonment have arisen and what has been left is a very curious product," says the creator and director of the production in an interview with EFE in the middle of the last essays.

Bold and respectful proposal

Guerra admits the "daring" nature of his proposal: "No one has any idea (of the result)," but when they see it "they are pleasantly surprised." He adds that it is made "with a lot of respect", with "versions of songs that will surprise anyone who understands flamenco, while ABBA fans will say 'how is that possible?'".

And he points out: "I don't think anyone will feel offended, not the flamencos, not the ABBA fans."

Lautaro Martínez hit the ninth shot wide.

There was no need to take the tenth and final penalty against Atlético, the winner because Oblak had already directed them towards the precious prize of 10.6 million euros in the next round.
