Their respective new years could hardly have begun in more starkly contrasting ways.

Here, the Princess of Wales has been welcomed to London’s Royal Marsden Hospital by both patients and staff who successfully treated Catherine for cancer.

In California, on the other hand, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been derided as “disaster tourists” after handing out food to victims of the Los Angeles fire.

Now, I can reveal that the widening gulf between the two couples has been relentlessly highlighted by the fortunes of their respective foundations.

The Earthshot Prize, set up by Prince William in 2019 to come up with solutions to “some of the world’s biggest environmental problems”, has just published its annual report which shows it is having great success.

The uninitiated could be forgiven for missing this, given that Earthshot’s total revenue for the year rose only a relatively modest four per cent, to £23.5 million.

But that overlooks the fact that no less than £8.6 million of the £22.5 million raised the previous year was a one-off donation from the Royal Foundation, set up by William and Harry in 2009 to further their various charitable ambitions. .

This year there was no such donation for Earthshot, which in 2022 was separated from the Royal Foundation to be run as a completely separate charity. So their underlying income from donations increased by a whopping 68 percent.

The founding partners donated £14.4 million. But perhaps even more intriguing is the contribution of the American Friends of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

It more than doubled to £6.1m, up from £2.7m the previous year.

To put this into perspective, Meghan and Harry raised a total of £4.67 million from all sources for their Archewell Foundation.

The Duchess is here to serve.

The Duchess of Edinburgh doesn’t turn 60 until Monday, but she couldn’t wait for the party to start.

Sophie was served an orange birthday cake at The Company Shop in Lambeth, south London, during an engagement yesterday.

The community center offers discounted food to residents and free meals to children during school holidays. He rolled up his sleeves and served food to locals in the downtown canteen.

Before her husband, Prince Edward, turned 60 last March, Sophie gave a rare and deeply personal speech in Leeds when she called him “The best of fathers and the most loving of husbands.”

Queen of Mean returns at 80 years old

Anne Robinson stepped down as host of The Weakest Link in 2011, but the Queen of Mean returns – for one night only.

This Saturday he will present a live edition of the BBC quiz at the Barn Theater in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

“It’s to help my village school, Hatherop Primary, move from leaky prefabricated classrooms to a proper building,” he tells me. “It’s a betrayal.”

Contestants include Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles, former jockey Willie Carson and news presenter Kay Burley.

Robinson, 80, jokingly adds of his comeback: “I’ve doubled down on my Pilates classes and am training to stay on my feet.”

Anne Robinson will perform a live version of The Weakest Link this Saturday to raise money for her village school.

Robbie attacks Oasis

Robbie Williams, played by a CGI monkey in the new biopic Better Man, has rekindled his feud with the Gallaghers.

“When it comes to Oasis, they are the poster child for bullies,” declares the former Take That singer. ‘Whether Noel and Liam know it or not, like to understand it or care, they gave all the school bullies permission to gang up and continue being bullies by the way they acted and behaved.

‘Liam has evolved and mellowed a lot. But Noel, even in this aspect of his life, has not evolved when it comes to being unnecessarily cold, malicious and cruel.’

A spokesman for the Gallaghers declined to comment.
