King Charles’s call for all healthy royals to attend the Commonwealth Day service casts an unwelcome light on the family’s infirmary, writes EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE

Queen Camilla will lead the extended royal family at Monday’s Commonwealth Day service, with the absent king ordering all able-bodied working royals to attend.

This casts an unwelcome light on the Royal Infirmary (the King, Kate and Princess Alexandra) and highlights the weakness of others.

The Duke of Kent (89 this year) now needs a stick or wheelchair to get around and the Duke of Gloucester turns 80 in August.

And the one-time baby of the Windsor clan Prince Edward turns 60 on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Camilla is expected to appear at the Cheltenham Festival to indulge her love of the jumps.

Princess Anne, who lives down the road, is also in attendance, along with daughter Zara, a director in Cheltenham.

With Anne’s own equestrian show, the Festival of British Eventing, Zara may be able to find a job for her brother Peter Phillips, who was heavily involved in the festival at mum’s estate in Gatcombe Park.

The Department of Defense did well financially by prematurely announcing that Kate would be attending Trooping the Color in June.

There was an unprecedented rush for the £15-a-head tickets, with more than 90 percent disappearing within the first 12 hours.

Tickets for the Review are normally slow to come by (which is why a proposed price increase to £20 was shelved) and it is rarely a complete sellout.

Kate is clearly still a big box office hit, even though she may call in sick that day.

What about former The Weakest Link presenter Anne Robinson and the Welsh?

She was investigated by the Broadcasting Standards Commission for describing them as ‘annoying and annoying’ but has now fallen foul of Peter Underhill, agent of former Wales rugby captain Colin Charvis.

Sitting opposite her on the train from Kemble, Peter reminded her of Colin’s appearance on TWL with a broken nose.

‘He told me and the whole carriage that Colin and his mother never recovered from it when I asked him rudely: Did everyone in Wales have a nose that turned half to the left?’

Kemi Badenoch’s critique of Michael Sheen’s Port Talbot drama The Way prompts the Welsh troublemaker to invite her to his new play Nye at the National Theatre, where his performance as NHS founder Bevan in his pajamas attracted three audience members in one night fainted.

“I realize, of course,” Sheen says, “that there’s no guarantee she will do that [Badenoch] would make it to the end.”

Drama critics are gearing up for performer Eloina’s first night in High Steaks at the New Diorama theater, where she will appear naked with two steaks hanging from her labia “in a profound, heartfelt and healing call to action against body-shaming.”

Given the number of Fleet Street theater critics who are confirmed bachelors, should there be extra St John Ambulance officers on standby?
