EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: King Charles is still keen on building bridges with Prince Harry

One of Harry’s most serious points of contention with his father, the King, is the monarch’s refusal to endorse his children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, as HRH.

It’s a status they automatically gained, along with the prince and princess, as the king’s grandchildren when Charles acceded to the throne in September.

Harry and Meghan can’t use their HRH titles, but it’s just a gentleman’s agreement.

There is nothing to prevent them from activating the real equivalent of the nuclear option by resuming use of the titles.

But this could force the King to issue Letters of Patent formally removing title from all of them, something he would be reluctant to do.

While the Sussexes seem keen to burn bridges, the King, a source reports, is still very keen on building them.

As the publication of Harry’s book, Spare, approaches, it seems that the Palace has not been able to obtain an advance copy.

Although the plan is not to comment publicly – a policy the Palace has adopted with Netflix’s Harry and Meghan saga – it would like to be at the forefront rather than have to do a quick read after sending a subordinate to Hatchards in Piccadilly, the booksellers . to the King, in the morning it is published to collect some copies.

Former BBC correspondent Michael Cole, avidly watching Emer Heatley playing John Stonehouse’s mistress on ITV, claims she grossly exaggerates Sheila Buckley’s speech impediment.

He should know. He got the only interview with her when Stonehouse was arrested in Melbourne after faking her death.

“She lied very convincingly on every question I asked her,” recalls Cole, adding, “The sexiest thing about her was a slight deformation to her upper lip that gave her a kind of Elvis Presley-esque pout.”

The custodians of Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, have decided that it will in future be known by its Welsh name after pressure from a reform petition.

King Charles, a longtime Prince of Wales who spent time as a student studying the language, must decide whether to follow suit and rename the earldom created for Antony Armstrong-Jones when he married Charlie’s aunt, the princess daisy.

Will the Earl of Snowdon David Linley find himself responding to the Earl of Yr Wyddfa?

Six years after the last episode of his hit TV series Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, show creator and writer Steven Moffat announces on Radio 4: “I’ll start writing Sherlock tomorrow if Benedict and Martin show up, frankly “.

Sadly, they’ve gone on to bigger and better things and left us behind, yelling ‘But Benedict, Martin, please come back!’

Claude Littner of The Apprentice explains how the BBC prevents mischief between contestants who share the house.

Boys and girls are separated at home. There is also someone who lives there all the time to make sure there are no monkeys.
