The courtesan struck gold

Considering sleeping with a married man whose wife doesn’t understand him? Girlfriends warning you it won’t work out? Look who’s Queen now, bitches.

On the surface, it was a classic case. He’s all like ‘My marriage is a sham’ and ‘We haven’t been intimate in years’ and ‘We’re only together for the children and the future of the hereditary monarchy’.

I read about them in the women’s magazines – Tatler, The Nanny and Debrett’s. He might claim they’re sleeping in separate Georgian mansions and then suddenly she’s pregnant with an heir.

But what can I say? I looked into those blue eyes and I trusted him. I believed that this man, this future King, didn’t just want to be in and out of me all day like a tampon but for us to be together.

From that day I vowed to destabilise his marriage, whether by tapping the phones at Kensington Palace or tipping off the press about her stalking that art dealer. Even better, we did it together.

It wasn’t easy when she started flinging shit in public, and the kids have never warmed to me, but my whispers of ‘That younger one’s a right diva, just like her’ paid off and he’s practically disinherited now.

We married, we cycled through a number of titles that his domineering mother and the resentful public were willing to accept, and next month he’s crowned at Westminster Abbey and I’ll be there as Queen. Not Queen Consort. Not King’s Concubine. Queen.

So ladies, if you’ve identified a married man of sufficient status naive enough to be pussystruck, ignore the warnings and have that affair. It worked for me.

The Daily Mash

Of course.

Mrs Greville and the Mistresses


Mrs Greville, Mrs Keppel, Mrs Wales

Among the breathtaking gems we saw on display yesterday at the Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration at Buckingham Palace were some bequeathed to her friend the late Queen Mother by the magnificent Dame Margaret "Maggie" Helen Grenville; the Peardrop Earrings and the Chandelier Earrings - the latter a set of earrings designed to show the greatest possible variety of modern cuts of diamond including half moon, trapeze, square, pear, baguette and emerald.



Several of the Greville jewels - part of a collection of sixty pieces in the Royal Collection - are often nowadays worn by Camilla. And therein lies a connection...

For Maggie Greville, an ultra-wealthy heiress in her own right, wife of the aristocratic Ronald Henry Fulke Greville and matriarch of the grand mansion of Polesdon Lacey [which we visited a few years back], was a close friend of George Keppel and his wife Alice. Mrs Alice Keppel was one of King Edward VII's favourite mistresses.

Alice's daughter Sonia married Roland Cubitt, a descendant of Thomas Cubitt (who was architect of the original house at Polesden Lacey). One of their daughters Rosalind was the mother of Camilla, former mistress of Prince Charles and now Duchess of Cornwall.

So one Royal paramour is now proudly wearing diamonds that were worn at grand occasions at which another was entertained.

The revenge of the courtesan?


An appropriate song, methinks...

The other diamonds on show are our latest "exhibit" in the Dolores Delargo Towers Museum of Camp
