EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Princess Diana’s psychic claims the Royals do consult mediums

Princess Diana treasured Sally Morgan’s guidance so deeply that she consulted the psychologist every day for four and a half years, even on Christmas Day.

But the late princess is not the only member of the royal family to put their trust in a medium.

Morgan claims other royals also use clairvoyance. ‘The royal family does consult psychologists, but I can’t say if they see me,’ she tells me over dinner in south London.

‘Absolutely they (mediums) see. I know it. They see a psychologist for the same reasons you and I would.’

Diana met Morgan, 72, in 1992 after hearing about her through a mutual friend.

“At the time… her mother was still alive, but she had lost her father and her marriage, which was everything to her,” says Morgan. “And she was terrified of losing her children.”

Morgan adds: ‘Diana knew we weren’t here one minute and then, poof, we were gone. She realized that life is a miracle and so special. She was spiritual. She definitely believed in the afterlife. And in a way she was looking.’ There is speculation about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage, but Morgan predicts it will go the distance.

“Very soon after Meghan was brought into the system, and it is a system, people were full of their own opinions about whether it would last or not,” says the psychologist, who has met Prince Harry. ‘It will last, they will never break up. Their love is really strong.’

Those who remember the late Earl of Lucan suggest that he bitterly mourned the loss of the family seat in Ireland and the bulk of his 63,000-acre estate – and was also upset that his father could live contentedly in a North -London mansion block as well as sitting as a Labor peer in the House of Lords.

So ‘Lucky’ Lucan – who seemingly disappeared forever in the wake of the murder of his children’s nanny nearly 50 years ago – would be delighted by the latest family development.

His younger daughter, Camilla, and her husband, Michael Bloch, acquired a stately pile for ‘around £7m’ worthy of any earl.

‘It’s wonderful, one of the great unsung houses of England,’ an admirer tells me. It is indeed. The Jacobean masterpiece is 80 miles inland from Lucan’s Belgravia home.

It has a ballroom, a ‘great room’, a gallery and eight master bedrooms, and is so big that part of it hasn’t even been inhabited for 50 years.

Set in a park with a brace of Georgian pavilions as well as three more cottages, it also has its own squash court, stables and aviaries.

Camilla (53) has four sons with Bloch, who has two daughters from a previous marriage. Like him, she is a strong lawyer.

“Michael made so much money,” a chump tells me. “Fine with him.”

Nicole Scherzinger won’t be the only Norma Desmond on stage.

I hear the new West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard is facing competition from the composer’s ex-wife.

Sarah Brightman has signed up to star in a version of the musical in Australia next year.

‘It will be completely different to any productions from before,’ she says. Pussycat Dolls singer Scherzinger (45) (left) may attract pop fans, but Brightman (63) boasts of lived experience: ‘It just seemed like it was my destiny.’

Convicted fraudster Bernie Ecclestone, I hear, amused himself with telephone bids for furniture at Lots Road auctioneers in West London.

The former F1 tycoon, 92, is said to have placed bids for a ‘marble-mounted etagere’ (that’s a bookcase) and a set of eight dining chairs, but dropped out when prices began to rise. ‘He has a very good eye for a bargain and he is very disciplined in his buying,’ says my husband with the upright hammer.

Ecclestone this week agreed to pay more than a quarter of his wealth to the taxman after admitting he hid £416m from HMRC.

You wear it well! Sir Rod Stewart’s teenage son Alastair looks like a chip off the old block.

The 19-year-old wore a pinstripe jacket to match the singer’s suit at the JCA London Fashion Academy MA showcase in Mayfair.

And I hear that Alastair may soon design some spells of his own.

He is considering enrolling in a course at the academy, whose creative director is Jimmy Choo, the celebrated shoe designer.

“Having done some modeling, Alastair is passionate about the fashion industry and now wants to explore the design process, which he can study in depth at JCA,” a source tells me.

Courses at the institute range from diplomas to masters, with fees starting at £18,000.

Last year, Alastair signed a deal to become the face of luxury clothing label Palm Angels.

With his booming voice and hearty laugh, Brian Blessed lights up any room.

Sadly, he now mourns his beloved wife of 44 years, Hildegard Neil, who died at the age of 84. She was a leading actress who played Sir Roger Moore’s wife in The Man Who Haunted Himself. She met Blessed on the set of a television drama, Double Agent.

A family spokesman said Hildegard died “after a long, brave battle against cancer and a heart condition”.

Blessed, 87, said his ‘wonderful’ wife called him ‘primitive’ in the early days of their romance. But he insisted it was a compliment and a marker of ‘total sophistication’.

The actor, who has climbed the world’s highest mountain three times, said of Hildegard: ‘It took more courage to kiss her on the lips than to climb Everest.’

Can the police go to court? Guitarist Andy Summers hinted at a possible legal face-off with Sting over the band’s biggest song, Every Breath You Take.

It was released in 1983 and topped the UK charts for four weeks. The song is credited solely to frontman and bassist Sting and will reportedly generate up to a third of his publishing income.

But now Summers, 80, has hinted that could change. “Every breath you take went in the ‘trash’ until I played on it,” he claims. Asked why he doesn’t have a songwriting credit, he replies: ‘It’s a very controversial (topic), it’s very alive at the moment. Watch the press. Let’s see what happens in the next year. That’s all I can tell you.’

Comedian Katherine Ryan hired security at her teenage daughter’s birthday party and made parents sign good behavior forms

Comedian Katherine Ryan had parents sign good behavior forms and hired security for her teenage daughter’s birthday party. “I want the kids to be together, but I also wanted the kids to feel the fear: ‘We’re not going to try this at Katherine’s house because my mom signed a form,'” she says.

“Suffice it to say more kids came than I ever imagined…and there won’t be another party.”
