EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Has Denmark's new King Frederik been forgiven by his wife Queen Mary for his alleged feud with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova?

Has the new Queen Mary of Denmark forgiven her husband Frederik for his alleged feud with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova?

Yes, according to Australian body language expert Dr. Louise Mahler, who analyzed their attempts to kiss on the Copenhagen balcony after they became king and queen.

“There were several options for a kiss that were not well matched,” says Dr. Mahler. 'Mary had the chance to kiss and Frederik missed it, but then the opposite happened and they ended up kissing. I found the kiss sincere and full of warmth.'

Louise puts down her binoculars to give the marriage a thumbs up.

The abdication of Denmark Queen Margrethe brings back memories of her state visit to Great Britain, where she lit a cigarette during the coffee phase of a private lunch with her friend the late Queen.

Margrethe, affectionately called Daisy, accidentally burned a hole in the tablecloth.

She was too slow in moving her head to cover it and the queen remarked, 'Daisy, this cloth was of Queen Victoria.'

Without hesitation, Daisy replied, “Then it's time for you to get some new linen.” A few days later new linen arrived from Copenhagen.

A delegation from the anti-monarchist Republic appeared at the gates of Sandringham to present the king with boxes of court-released documents on Andrew and Epstein.

A banner asking: 'Charles, why are you hiding?' was hung on the railing. Charles wasn't hiding. He was 500 miles away at Balmoral. Do!

Crispian Mills, son of Hayley and grandson of Johnny, will not be inviting Sunshine Superman Donovan, 77, for tea and cakes again anytime soon.

Crispian, singer with Kula Shaker, tells Classic Rock that he had the singer back at his flat in Highgate for a songwriting session.

'He brought a Tupperware box full of hash cakes made by his wife. We ate the cakes and I can't remember anything other than the sentence: 'One English Summer, stupid t***s with cricket bats.'

Mastermind inquisitor Clive Myrie admits he's suspending his compassion for the participants.

“I'm an animal,” he tells Radio Times. 'There's a voice in my ear: 'No mercy! No mercy!' If there's any suggestion that I'm soft – if the answer is fried eggs and someone says 'boiled eggs', and I say, 'Yes, I'll give you that' – then I get it in my ear: 'No, No no no!'

He adds: 'This is how the program started – [series creator] Bill Wright was shot and interrogated by the Gestapo.'

No Rest in Peacekeeping Missions for Annie Nightingale by Paul Simon. He reacted angrily when she asked him during the Old Gray Whistle Test how he shared songwriting duties with singing partner Art Garfunkel.

After he icily replied that Garfunkel had never written anything, Annie asked, “Is that common knowledge?” Simon snapped, “I think almost everyone knows, except you.”
