TALK OF THE TOWN: King Charles adds honey from his own bees to make rum (but at £45 for a bottle, there's a sting in the tail)


Made with the honey of Charles's own bees on his country estate, Highgrove Honey Infused Rum is now being sold by the King's Foundation - with the proceeds going to charity.

I couldn’t help noticing that on Christmas Day Princess Charlotte was wearing what appears to be a ruby necklace from a collaboration range between Chelsy’s brand Aya Jewels and Gemfields, worth £1,500. But news reaches me that the 63-year-old, once dubbed London’s rudest chef, challenged his dining companion at seafood restaurant Flute in Bath to a game of spoof to decide who picked up the £170 tab – and emerged victorious. The London-based it girl, once romantically linked to Alexander Ogilvy, shared photos of a onesie she bought for him with the caption ‘picking things out for baby Erik.’ A friend of Poppius says she is ‘over the moon’ to be a first-time aunt and she cannot wait to meet her nephew in his birthplace, Los Angeles in California.
