EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: The most poignant sign yet that King Charles has left the public stage as Queen Camilla stands in for him at Windsor Castle service

The most poignant sign yet that the king has left the public stage will come on Tuesday. Queen Camilla will lead the royal party at a thanksgiving service for the late King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle, something the king was expected to attend.

His father, Prince Philip, born on a kitchen table in Corfu, baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church and evacuated in an orange box when his family was exiled after the Greco-Turkish War, maintained strong ties with his cousin, ex-King Constantine II , who was invited and treated in rank and precedence as if he still had a kingdom.

Queen Camilla is a fan of the Greek islands, although the king has often pursued a more sober experience.

He has regularly found solace in the Eastern Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos, in northeastern Greece, where he has been an occasional pilgrim (accompanied by footmen and lots of luggage), including three visits in the year before he and Camilla married.

Since then, visits have decreased, possibly because the monks are a bit misogynistic. Women are not allowed within 500 meters of the monastery.

Ealing, London’s leafy Queen of the Suburbs, announces that ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman will attend his first book festival on April 13.

After thirty years with the Stones, he felt that his song ideas were being ignored and that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were not treating him with respect. Be that as it may, he has written thirteen books, including Billy In The Wars, which chronicles his wartime childhood, and Bill Wyman’s Chelsea, his ‘country home’ since 1982. Bill, 87, was criticized for his romance with Amanda Louise in the mid-eighties. Smith (born July 17, 1970) whom he married in 1989 and divorced in 1993.

Lindsay Hoyle will be heartbroken if she is sacked as Speaker of the House of Commons, but could be comforted by a seat in the Lords where his father Doug – like Sir Lindsay, a former Labor MP – sits.

If Lindsay is elevated – and Sir Keir Starmer can hardly refuse to nominate him because he is said to have gotten into trouble – it could deter the Labor leader from nominating John Bercow, who is also accused of siding with Labor to choose?

Of Baron Hoyle, a source recalls: “Doug is a gregarious soul. I met him one evening at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, in one of those lifts with mirrored walls.

“When he saw himself in the mirror, Doug – thinking it was someone he knew – started a conversation with his image.”

Under fire for his Labor bias in the Gaza vote, Sir Lindsay is even-handed when it comes to naming his pets.

He named his parrot Boris and his tortoise Maggie, after former Tory prime ministers, and owns a cat called Attlee, after the Labor Prime Minister, and a Patterdale terrier called Betty, in honor of old Labor comrade and late speaker, Betty Boothroyd .

His late pets include a Maine coon cat named Patrick (after Tory peer Patrick Cormack) and a rottweiler, Gordon (Gordon Brown).
