William and Kate’s discreet visit to India that left locals shocked… and joy for the new Lady Goldsmith-to-be: RICHARD EDEN’S DIARY

Following the dismissal of an appeal regarding the amount of taxpayer-funded security he and his family should receive while in Britain, Prince Harry expressed discontent to the BBC last month, saying, “I don’t see a scenario where I would return my wife and children to the UK at this time.

The siblings-in-law of this individual, who are the Prince and Princess of Wales, adopt a more vigilant strategy when dealing with potential security hazards. It has been disclosed by someone connected to one of their foreign trips that the pair demanded to dismiss their security detail during a particularly delicate event.

Sanjoy Roy, one of the founders of the Salaam Baalak Trust, guided Prince William and his wife, Catherine, to visit kids at their center located within New Delhi’s railway station in India. The trust offers food, educational opportunities, and medical care for underprivileged children through this charity.

When William and Catherine arrived to check out this project, they were told they could come without needing their security detail.

I cautioned them against it, explaining that it was hazardous and they shouldn’t go. However, Will and Kate were resolute, responding, “We truly wish to.

As a lifestyle expert, allow me to share my perspective on this matter: My apprehensions stemmed from a past encounter with esteemed British dignitaries. Specifically, Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, who visited our community previously. They organized an event centered around our street children, which I found to be more of a spectacle than a genuine effort. The media frenzy that ensued made it unpleasant for everyone involved. However, when it comes to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Catherine, their approach was nothing short of commendable. They were incredibly respectful during their visit, which is precisely what I strive for in such interactions – a genuine connection and understanding, rather than a sensationalized event.

During their trip to India in 2016, the couple encountered mainly children who had suffered abuse, including physical violence, sexual assault, trafficking, and exploitation by gangs.

Zac’s third bride-to-be sparkles at her hen do

As a devoted follower, I am eagerly looking forward to my wedding with the ex-Tory minister, Zac Goldsmith, in just three more months. However, the joy of the upcoming event has led me to start the festivities early on.

35-year-old PR executive Hum, Ian Fleming’s great-niece who created James Bond, found herself in a state of excitement and surprise after spending the weekend at her hen party with friends in west London. She donned a cream jumpsuit adorned with sequins, bridal sunglasses, and a floral headpiece designed by her twin sister, Chloe.

Nude selfie takes the biscuit for MasterChef star 

Television personality Angellica Bell, who won Celebrity MasterChef, has often graced our screens, but there was a time when she regretted it, specifically during an incident where she was sunbathing topless and a man requested a selfie – for his child.

As I lay there basking in the present, a man and his child unexpectedly appeared to be approaching me. (I say this as someone who appreciates and cherishes each fleeting moment.)

I said to myself, “Surely they aren’t here to speak with me?” Indeed, my father approached, greeting me, “Hello Angellica, this is my son.

In this situation, I contemplated two unappealing options: either remain lying down with my cleavage exposed, or sit up and risk letting them drop to the ground.

1. ‘Gradually, I stood up. “Could you please sign something for my boy?” I ended up signing an autograph while exposing myself, and also had to pose for a photograph. It was undeniably awkward.’

or

2. ‘I rose at a leisurely pace. “May I get your autograph for my kid?” This led me to sign an autograph while flashing some skin – and then we took a photo together. It was incredibly uncomfortable.’

Expressing his delight over Elaine Paage’s new title as Dame Elaine, her ex-partner, Sir Tim Rice, exclaims: ‘It’s wonderful that Elaine Paige finally received her damehood! The only question is why it took so long for this recognition.’

80-year-old Oscar-winning individual, Sir Tim, acknowledges that his 11-year relationship with Elaine, also 77, played a significant role in the success he and Andrew Lloyd Webber experienced subsequently.

Dogged Forsyth’s final fight for vengeance

Last week, at the age of 86, Frederick Forsyth, the author of “The Day Of The Jackal”, felt deeply saddened as his friend’s pet dog, Dixie, sustained injuries in a vicious attack.

Countess Alexander of Tunis disclosed that Dixie was brutally attacked by a white husky. In response, Freddie, who was upset and concerned, quickly took her to an emergency veterinary clinic. Fortunately, Dixie recovered. To cover the costs, Freddie paid for nearly three months of treatment at a veterinary hospital, stating that he felt responsible since “Dixie is on my watch.

Lady Alexander notes: ‘Freddie persistently pursued justice for over a year, engaging legal professionals and law enforcement, aiming to prosecute the dog owner based on the Dangerous Dogs Act. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain as the victim was a tiny dog rather than a young child, which is not covered by this legislation.’

‘He called this his Dogs Of War battle.’

Royal model calls out pervert on Tube

Frankie Herbert, who orchestrated King Charles’s Coronication by Frankie Herbert’s stepfather, the Duke of Norfolk, has bravely spoken out against individuals preying on others sexually, even challenging such an offender in the London subway system.

29-year-old Frankie, who once gracefully walked the runway during the sole fashion show witnessed by the late Queen Elizabeth, shared her experience of feeling ‘frightened’ and ‘disturbed’ after encountering harassment on the London Tube. “I was merely commuting on the Tube in London, and there was a man who kept staring at me, licking his lips, and touching himself inappropriately. Regrettably, no one intervened during this incident.

Well, let me tell you what happened. Instead of freezing in terror, I faced him and asked, ‘Is there something I can assist you with?’ To which he responded, ‘Oh, no need for that.’

Since they believe we’re easy targets, they take advantage of us, and this exploitation seems to be something they enjoy. Frankly, I’ve had enough of it.

The Duchess of Kent, being the eldest member within the Royal Family, has stepped away from her public responsibilities. However, it appears that Catherine continues to hold some sway at Buckingham Palace.

Buried away in the King’s Birthday Honours list was an OBE for Nicholas Robinson.

92-year-old him established Future Talent, a charitable organization geared towards nurturing exceptionally talented young musicians who come from less affluent families.

This version maintains the original meaning while sounding more conversational and easier to read.

‘This award is not mine alone,’ Robinson says.

‘I share it with Katharine, without whose vision and passion Future Talent simply wouldn’t exist.’
