The Duke and have been accused of preventing their children from seeing their cousins.

is this week visiting Britain, with his wife, Meghan, , aged seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, possibly joining later.

But the children are not expected to see their cousins, Prince George, 12, , 11, and , eight.

That’s because of the estrangement between their parents, the Prince and , and the duke and duchess, which followed the California-based couple’s attacks on the in their interview, series, Harry’s memoirs and in numerous other comments.

TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp, whose late father, Lord Hindlip, was a friend of , has claimed that Archie and Lili will ‘bitterly resent’ missing out on their British heritage.

‘In about 12 years’ time these children will rebel,’ she declares. ‘They will come to the UK, meet their cousins and other family, and bitterly resent their British life being taken from them.’

One of the royals’ favourite rappers Tinie Tempah, who once high-fived Prince William while performing at the Brit Awards, practises jiu-jitsu in his spare time – and met King Charles at one of his training sessions. ‘I was in my gear, sweaty, gum shield in, and the big man walks in,’ he tells me at the inaugural Roundhay Festival in Leeds. ‘He came to understand more about it. That was amazing.’

Derby girl’s jewellery a cut above the rest

Taylor Swift had some of the world’s biggest stars at her wedding in New York, but the Earl of Derby’s daughter had the more glittering jewellery in Liverpool.

Lady Henrietta Stanley, 29, wore the spectacular Derby Tiara and a matching diamond necklace as she exchanged vows with Alexander ‘Sasha’ Reviakin, also 29, at Liverpool Cathedral. Her dress was designed by Suzanne Neville.

Her mother, the Countess of Derby, says of the reception at their Knowsley Hall home: ‘It was the first family wedding to be held here in 160 years.’

Sara Cox, who took over as Radio 2 Breakfast Show host yesterday, has written novels – but won’t be penning an autobiography of her ‘ladette’ years. ‘My memory is so shot,’ says Sara, 51. ‘The ’90s, I can’t remember any of it.’ She clearly managed to recall the first 20 years of her life with her 2019 memoir Till The Cows Come Home: A Lancashire Childhood.

Composer: I kept the Stones rolling

Producer of The Rolling Stones’ new album Foreign Tongues, Andrew Watt, admits he was constantly required to act as a mediator between squabbling bandmates Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

‘My job was to take something that Mick thought Keith may not like and bring it to him,’ Watt, 35, explains. ‘Often they don’t appropriately or correctly guess how the other one’s going to feel about what they may be presenting.

‘You get your head chopped off sometimes. But then you screw it back on, get up and go for another round.’

‘Glorious’ invite for Pattie Boyd

Sir Paul McCartney wasn’t the only legend from the Swinging Sixties at Taylor Swift’s New York wedding.

Pattie Boyd was also a guest at Madison Square Garden with her third husband, property developer Rod Weston.

‘It was a fantastic, glorious, happy and joyous event,’ the ex-model and photographer tells me.

Pattie, 82, inspired a string of songs including Something by her first husband, George Harrison, and Layla by her second, Eric Clapton.

She’s been friends with Swift, 36, since the pop superstar interviewed her for a magazine in 2018.

Shania’s tribute to Harry’s other support act 

Queen of country pop Shania Twain has revealed why she agreed to sing Happy Birthday to Harry Styles’s mother, Anne Twist, over the phone.

The Canadian, 60, who was a support act at Styles’s recent concerts at Wembley Stadium, says: ‘I did not have my mother through my success at all because she was gone long before I made it. She’s been gone since I was 22.’

Shania adds: ‘Harry’s had [his mother] all this time and she’s been able to experience the success with him and be a grounding factor. So I was happy to do it in more ways than one.’

She adds of the ex-One Direction singer, 32: ‘Celebrities don’t really ask each other favours very often.’
