FOR decades, the Queen has lived by the motto: \u201cNever complain, never explain.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But of late there\u2019s been an insidious influx of noise \u2014 various members of the Royal Family all wanting their say\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009and stopping at nothing to get it.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Last week we had Republican Amol Rajan\u2019s controversial BBC documentary, The Princes And The Press, which explored claims that William and Harry were effectively briefing the media against one another.<\/p>\n

Hardly Princely behaviour.<\/p>\n

Slamming the accusations as \u201cunfounded\u201d, Buckingham Palace said it wasn\u2019t given a right of reply \u2014 and it isn\u2019t ruling out legal action over the second instalment, which aired last night.<\/p>\n

The Palace has retaliated by banning the Beeb from screening the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge\u2019s forthcoming carol concert.<\/p>\n

There remains the very real, unspoken threat they may pull the Queen\u2019s Christmas Speech – potentially the first time in 64 years the national broadcaster hasn\u2019t aired it.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this bottom-smacking of the Beeb is long overdue.<\/p>\n

For too long the Corporation has considered itself above rebuke and, well, better than anyone else.<\/p>\n

The Martin Bashir scandal showed it is neither.<\/p>\n

Now, Prince Charles has called in lawyers over unsubstantiated claims he is the \u201croyal racist\u201d.<\/p>\n

Allegations he queried the skin colour of Meghan and Harry\u2019s future children feature in a book by US author Christopher Andersen.<\/p>\n

Charles\u2019s aides have dismissed the reported conversation as \u201cfiction\u201d.<\/p>\n

Quite how Mr Andersen was privy to the Prince\u2019s private chat with Camilla remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

Naturally, Charles is angry about these latest, potentially damaging allegations.<\/p>\n

But just as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s controversial tome Finding Freedom has turned out to be a greater work of fiction than, say, Harry Potter, so Charles should see this latest book for what it is: A money-spinning yarn written, provocatively, for a royal-obsessed American audience.<\/p>\n

By calling in his \u00a3600-an-hour legal team, he\u2019s sinking to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s level: The original Chatty Rats.<\/p>\n

Prince Charles is 73, and next in line to the throne.<\/p>\n

He shouldn\u2019t be airing his dirty linen in public.<\/p>\n

What next? The Jonathan Ross Show? An Audience with Prince Charles on ITV1?<\/p>\n

DIRTY LINEN<\/h2>\n

Just to compound a messy couple of weeks for the Windsors, Ghislaine Maxwell is having her day in court.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s most rubbish royal, Andrew, will be sweating (or not) from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

We want our royals \u2014 with their divine right, velvet robes and golden thrones \u2014 to be above such things as deodorant.<\/p>\n

We definitely don\u2019t want them talking about Sloppy Guiseppes in Woking, as Andrew did in his cringe-a-minute Newsnight interview two years ago.<\/p>\n

Eight months after their global Oprah appearance, privacy-craving Meg and Harry show little sign of piping down.<\/p>\n

The Queen should be focusing on matters closer to home \u2014 namely shutting up her increasingly disruptive loved ones.<\/p>\n

The Monarchy is losing its shine.<\/p>\n

It must be above gossip-mongering and soap opera-style storylines.<\/p>\n

The royals are becoming more Albert Square than Albert Square.<\/p>\n

Never complain, never explain has never been more needed.<\/p>\n

Popularity of Pete not fair on us girls<\/h2>\n

FOR all would-be starlets, Pete Davidson must surely be included in the Official Celebrity Starter Kit \u00ae.<\/p>\n

Evidently, the American comedian, who is now dating Kim Kardashian, is as essential as heels and make-up for any female hitting the publicity trail.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

So, over the past two years, his conquests include Ariana Grande, Phoebe Dynevor, Kate Beckinsale, Cindy Crawford\u2019s model daughter Kaia Gerber and actress Margaret Qualley.<\/p>\n

Were he female, he\u2019d be dubbed a \u201cbike\u201d.<\/p>\n

Instead this (Harley) Davidson is lauded as a stud.<\/p>\n

Infuriating.<\/p>\n

Weight off my behind<\/h2>\n

I HAVE spent the past ten days at Fat Camp.<\/p>\n

Or, more accurately, a \u201ctherapeutic fasting and integrative medicine\u201d clinic in Marbella, Spain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was my pal Anne Robinson who told me about the Buchinger Wilhelmi \u2013 a picturesque retreat she visits three times a year.<\/p>\n

And with my dreaded 40th birthday next week, the Countdown star booked me in.<\/p>\n

My stay involved daily weigh-ins, liver packs, blood tests, lymphatic drainage and two enemas. And frankly a holiday isn\u2019t a holiday without an enema.<\/p>\n

As someone who has never knowingly skipped breakfast, five days of no solid food \u2013 and only a teaspoon of honey, two broths and some fruit juice were\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009tough.<\/p>\n

Other guests spoke of feeling euphoric, productive and \u201chaving a deep sense of inner peace\u201d. I just felt knackered and hungry.<\/p>\n

At one point my blood sugar and blood pressure were so dangerously low they administered me with an emergency pot of honey, three yogurts and two cups of coffee.<\/p>\n

All of which beat the enemas.<\/p>\n

On Day Six, food was slowly reintroduced and never, ever have I been more appreciative of a porridge oat.<\/p>\n

By now I could also see the outline of an ab. My tummy was flat. Neck less walrussy.<\/p>\n

By the end of the week, I was 8lbs down \u2013 it would have been ten had I not sneaked off base and monstered a three-course lunch on the penultimate day.<\/p>\n

Roaring success<\/h3>\n

LAST month I completed a two-and-a-half-hour speed awareness course.<\/p>\n

Three weeks later, I got notice of an impending fine, and potentially six points on my licence, after getting collared driving at 57mph in a 40mph zone.<\/p>\n

So that was a roaring success, then.<\/p>\n

Col a halt to scrap<\/h2>\n

BRITAIN was in Europe, \u201cCorona\u201d was the name of a lager, ex-public schoolboys weren\u2019t gluing themselves to A-roads and Prince Philip was still going strong.<\/p>\n

Ah, the halcyon days BC (Before Coleen).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been two years since Coleen Rooney accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories.<\/p>\n

In the interim, migrants have died, bush fires have raged and a global pandemic has wiped out millions.<\/p>\n

Yet still these two women keep going in their libel battle.<\/p>\n

Wayne and Jamie\u2019s wives have blown \u00a31.4\u200amillion on legal costs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s \u00a3300,000 more than the the average Brits earns in a lifetime.<\/p>\n

In the spring, an unedifying High Court battle beckons.<\/p>\n

Coleen is clearly a devoted mum and wife, and during her time in the jungle Rebekah\u2019s pluck, humour and determination made her the stand-out star of I\u2019m A Celeb 2017.<\/p>\n

She chomped down on a lamb\u2019s anus, cheerily telling Ant and Dec she\u2019d \u201chad worse\u201d in her mouth.<\/p>\n

The Liverpudlian is now said to be offering her one-time mate 11th-hour peace talks.<\/p>\n

For the sake of both women and their families, Rebekah must grab this olive branch with both perfectly manicured hands.<\/p>\n

Enough is enough.<\/p>\n

Sex off menu<\/h2>\n

A NEW survey claims 65 per cent of us love sex on Christmas Day, while ten per cent \u201chope to find\u201d Piers Morgan in their stocking this year.<\/p>\n

Where to start?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Firstly, as if Piers\u2019s head could get much bigger, now he\u2019s officially a sex god.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I don\u2019t know any woman who feels sexy after 37 Brussels sprouts, four roast potatoes, half a turkey carcass, a Father Christmas chocolate head and some suet pudding.<\/p>\n

It's all Greek to me<\/h2>\n

ALL variants of Covid-19 initially receive a catchy scientific name like B.1.1.529.<\/p>\n

Once they\u2019ve been identified as variants of concern, the World Health Organisation then christens them with a Greek letter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The WHO should have called this latest strain \u201cNu\u201d or \u201cXi\u201d, rather than Omicron, because, alphabetically, they come first.<\/p>\n

But in its pathetic, pandering wisdom, it ruled out \u201cXi\u201d so as not to offend anyone with the surname Xi, particularly Xi Jinping, the President of China.<\/p>\n

The country, of course, that gave us the bloody virus.<\/p>\n
