Harry, who presented the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in Las Vegas to the NFL player who excelled both on and off the field (through philanthropy), was clearly unaware of his uncle Edward's connection to Payton, perhaps the greatest NFL player ever.

Shortly before retiring in 1987, Payton, better known as Sweetness, was invited by Prince Edward to join his sister Anne's team in the ill-fated BBC TV production It's a Royal Knockout at Alton Towers.

There was sweetness when Edward turned sour at a press conference after journalists failed to praise his production.

If Harry, who was two at the time, had been properly informed, he could have amazed his multiracial audience with the anecdote. Not that Edward, now the Duke of Edinburgh, would have thanked him.

The current group of working royals, many of them elderly, may lose weight faster than the king had planned.

But the future is youthful. Of the first twelve in line to the throne, seven are children, including George, ten; Charlotte, eight; Archie, four; Lilibet, two; and Princess Eugenie's August, who turned three last week.

Seven of the next twelve are also children, including all five of Princess Anne's grandchildren.

The king's dilemma is to avoid a family rift when deciding who gets the royal nod.

Qualified pilot Carol Vorderman, pictured, appears to undercut Ryanair. Gabby Alan Carr, visiting her home in Bristol, recalls: 'You know she has a plane. She said, 'Alan, I have Loose Women, would you like to sit in the back?' I flew from Bristol to London for £10.' Does Debrett's have any advice on the etiquette for charging comrades for traveling in steerage?

Eric Idle, 80, ranting about Monty Python's 'disastrous' finances, turns his attention to an 84-year-old estranged colleague: 'I haven't seen John Cleese in seven years… it makes me happy.' Zimmer frames at sunrise, Eric?

Armed with a bargain return ticket from British Airways to London and the Oscar he had won for his short film – Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life – a young Peter Capaldi approached the BA counter at LAX. '

I thought, 'I'll just put my Oscar on the desk and see what happens,'” he recalls. 'I was really ashamed of that, but not as ashamed as she was. They said, 'I'm really sorry, but the flight is full (in first class) and there's really nothing we can do.'

Capaldi couldn't even bark, “Do you know who I am?” In 1993, no one had any idea who he was.

Donald Trump's tenuous grasp of the truth is recalled in his 1994 claim that both Charles and Diana had separately applied for membership in his flashy Florida club.

After an angry denial from the Palace, Trump admitted that he had actually offered them free memberships, which they rejected.

A year earlier, he was asked if Diana wanted to buy an apartment in Trump Tower.

“That's true,” he said, adding, “She's really pretty. There may be a love interest involved. I would be king of England.' In your dreams, Donald!

Carol Vorderman looked sensational as she arrived at the ITV Palooza at the Theater Royal Drury Lane in London on Tuesday.

The broadcaster, 62, wore a red leather dress that perfectly accentuated her hourglass figure.

She wore a white semi-sheer lightweight coat over it that was covered in silver sequins.

The star opted for a pair of open-toed heels to add a few inches to her frame and posed confidently with her hand on her hip on the blue carpet.

Carol looked in good spirits as she stepped out after being suspended by BBC Radio Wales for breaching the broadcaster’s new social media guidelines.

The star, who has worked at the station for five years, said she was “unwilling to stop” voicing her “strong beliefs” on Twitter and Instagram.

Carol shared a statement earlier this month confirming she had left the station, saying she was unwilling to give up expressing her views on the British government online.

In her statement, Carol said: ‘The BBC has recently introduced new social media guidelines, which I respect.

“Since those non-negotiable changes were made to my radio contract, I have ultimately discovered that I am not willing to lose my voice on social media, change who I am, or lose the ability to express the strong beliefs I hold about the to express on the radio. the political turmoil in which this country finds itself.

“My decision has been to continue to criticize the current British government for what it has done to the country I love – and I am not prepared to stop.

“I was raised to fight for what I believe in, and I will continue to do so.

‘As a result, I have now breached the new guidelines and BBC Wales management has decided that I must leave. We all have to make our decisions.

‘I’m sad to leave the wonderful friends I made at Radio Wales.

‘I wish them, and all our listeners, all the love in the world. We laughed a lot and we will miss each other very much.

“But for now, another interesting chapter begins.”

The BBC said: ‘Carol has been a presenter on BBC Radio Wales since 2018. We would like to thank her for her work and contribution to the channel over the past five years.’

In addition to her weekly show on BBC Radio Wales, Carol also presented the current news quiz Have I Got News For You on BBC1 in May this year.

Carol was accused of ‘blatantly breaching’ the BBC’s impartiality rules with her anti-Tory outbursts, including calling ministers ‘a lying bunch of greedy, corrupt, destructive, hateful, divisive, crooks’.

Of particular note is her long-running feud with veterans minister Johnny Mercer and his wife Felicity, who celebrated it today by tweeting: ‘Binned by the BBC’.

The BBC introduced new social media rules for its presenters following outrage earlier this year over Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker’s tweet comparing the government’s Rwanda policy to Nazi Germany.

These prevent high-profile stars from attacking political parties and individual politicians and from addressing controversial issues before elections or referenda. The rules apply when their show airs and within a two-week period before and after.

The ITV Palooza sees the network’s best and brightest stars coming together to unveil the upcoming slate of shows to advertisers.

This year the event has moved to the iconic Theater Royal Drury Lane, with ITV favorites including Alison Hammond, Rochelle Humes and AJ Odudu in attendance.

Just days after the Big Brother final, AJ will take to the stage alongside Tom Allen as co-hosts of the event.

Last year’s showcase featured big names including Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Frankie Bridge and Laura Whitmore.

The event also saw the unveiling of the ITVX streaming service, packed with thousands of hours of exclusive content, films and live streams.

Programs including Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef, I’m A Celebrity South Africa and Stephen Fry’s A Year On Planet Earth were also unveiled on the evening.

Kelly Williams and Simon Daglish shared a series of exciting announcements with advertisers to help them benefit from increased investment in content.

The star-studded event comes after another fantastic year for ITV, with two series of Love Island, the return of Big Brother and Britain’s Got Talent to the screens.

With the arrival of ITVX, the channel has also massively expanded its collection of true crime documentaries, with a slew of programs being released exclusively on the platform before hitting screens later this year.
