EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: King Charles’s friendship with Jimmy Savile is further confirmed by the revelation that after Prince Harry’s birth he was included in a long list of potential godfathers
King Charles’s friendship with Jimmy Savile is further confirmed by my disclosure here that after Prince Harry’s birth in 1984 he had been included in a long list of names of potential godfathers.
The selection was written by Charles and seen by his private secretary Edward Adeane.
Adeane was aware that Charles would not listen to any argument against Savile. Having a fractious relationship with Diana, he felt he could not approach Harry’s mother.
He did discuss it with Sir Alastair Aird, the Queen Mother’s comptroller, who was duly horrified and assured Adeane that the matter would be ‘dealt with’. Savile didn’t make the final six.

As details of Savile’s crimes emerged following his death in 2011, David Cameron pledged to consider a legal change that honours could be rescinded post-humously. He never got round to it.
Perhaps Charles could rummage around the royal attic and return William and Harry’s Jim’ll Fix It badges to the BBC.

Rabid Remainer Alan Rusbridger, editor of Prospect magazine, must have hoped commissioning fellow anti-Brexiteer Lionel Barber to interview Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey would elicit a full-throated condemnation of Britain’s EU exit.
Instead Barber, accused when editor of the Financial Times of masterminding a ‘one-sided and almost hysterical’ campaign to stay in Europe, came away with a partial endorsement of Brexit.
‘It has actually created opportunities for Britain,’ declared Threadneedle Street’s chief bottle washer. French berets aloft to Rusbridger for publishing Legion d’Honneur-wearing Barber’s piece!

Dame Judi Dench‘s current squeeze, red squirrel breeder David Mills, had hurdles to jump when he first met Judi’s friend, actress Helena Bonham Carter at a London luvvie gathering.
‘She came up and said, “What have you been in recently?” recalls David.
‘I said ‘Nothing.’ ‘Well, what have you done then?’ ‘Nothing.’ ‘But you are an actor?’ ‘No.’ ‘Well, what the f*** are you doing here with this lot?’

How fares Matthew Rhys’s acting career since his triumph as Perry Mason?
Alas the Welsh thespian has been out of work for seven months as his choosy agent rejects lesser roles.
Worse: keeping busy with the school run, he’s discovered that fellow actors – including Rachel Weisz and Emily Blunt – also have kids at the school.
‘I’ve been out of work for so long I thought I would grow a moustache so that they might think I’m in work,’ he wails.
Look on the bright side, Matt – if the casting phone doesn’t ring before Christmas you could have a beard worthy of an audition for a Hollywood Santa.

Strictly judge Anton du Beke provides an unnecessary profusion of detail about his bathing habits.
‘I like a shower,’ he confides. ‘I like to stand in my shower. I have got a mirror down the end.’
He adds boastingly: ‘I did apply to go on Naked Attraction.’
For the uninitiated, the Channel 4 titillation includes a type of ballroom far removed from the cha-cha or paso doble.
