Prince Andrew played a version of musical chairs at St George’s Chapel in Windsor for the funeral of the late King Constantine. He was expected to sit next to his ex-wife Sarah on the second level.
The front row was reserved for Queen Camilla and the working royals, plus Marina Ogilvy, who was looking after her mother Princess Alexandra, seen in a wheelchair for the first time.

Wilson replied: ‘Have you asked (Heath) who paid for his yacht?’
‘It’s the equivalent today of talking to the leader of the opposition, asking him a question about what he earns from a book and he says: ‘Have you asked him who paid for his wallpaper?’ says Dimmers.
“I never spoke to him again because they wouldn’t let me.”

Sarah Snook, alias Shiv from Succession, who is multi-tasking in Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray at the Theater Royal Haymarket, won’t like Spectator theater critic Lloyd Evans’ review in which he accuses her of “caressing and caressing every syllable with conscious reverence.”
