“They were told I couldn’t do it,” a source tells me. “The programming problems, or something like that, were given as an excuse. It caused a lot of surprise, especially because he was granted an MBE. After all, how many chances will there be to act in front of Buckingham Palace? for the queen?
And Adele, 34, is not the only British megastar who has been rejected by the monarch. I can reveal that Harry Styles also turned down the opportunity to sing in front of a global audience of millions. A source close to the former 28-year-old One Direction star confirms, “He was asked.”
Pop superstars who performed included Ed Sheeran, Sir Elton John, Sir Rod Stewart and Queen.

The fashion stylist daughter of former Conservative treasurer Lord Hesketh alerted her friends by sharing this moment of the wedding. Birkbeck ‘s knee baby is the couple’ s son, Frankie, who was born eight months ago and conceived just three months after Birkbeck, 49, was introduced to Sophia, 37.
He describes his whirlwind romance as “a little crazy,” which is fair: just four years ago he married Laura Trenchard, the daughter of Viscount Trenchard, but insists it was over when he and Sophia they became an element.
How times change. Royal Ascot used to have such a strict moral code that divorcees were forbidden in the royal enclosure. Yesterday, the Queen’s divorced grandson, Peter Phillips, 44, took his new girlfriend, Lindsay Wallace, with him in his carriage in the Royal Procession on the Straight Mile from Windsor Castle.

The ex-boyfriend of Alexa Chung rock singer Alex Turner starred in Glastonbury twice with his band, Arctic Monkeys.
The current good model and TV presenter, Orson Fry, will have to settle for a more modest place next week at Worthy Farm, Somerset.

Chung, 38, and Fry, on the right, who have been dating since 2019, are said to have reunited thanks to their love of music.
Why do those who give us about climate change have the biggest carbon footprint? I have heard that David Cameron, who posed with huskies and exchanged the Tory Party symbol for an oak to trumpet his green credentials, made a 21,000-mile round trip to Sydney to attend the National Conference on the Conservative Climate. Fortunately, the three-day event was not just about wigs and lentil stews: she managed to attend a private party at a superhero, Shadow, moored in Sydney Harbor owned by financier John Kolenda.
Frankie undresses everything in the jungle …
Frankie Herbert once passed her things on the Queen’s catwalk, the only time Her Majesty has attended a fashion show.
But the Countess of Carnarvon’s niece has gone much further for ‘Mama Julia’, the shaman of Ecuador who prepares her for what Frankie, 26, describes as ‘this journey into nature’ in the Amazon rainforest .
Describing the process as “a truly magical experience,” Frankie, daughter of Royal Confidant Harry Herbert, clearly delighted in Mama Julia’s powers to “eliminate the exterior and energies of the city of Quito.”
She explains: “Being in the presence of this beautiful shaman and receiving this clarity, I felt so deeply rooted… And so liberated from being completely naked with her. ‘
Well, it’s a change from Benidorm.
Historian Andrew Roberts is horrified by suggestions that Prince Charles may use a different name when he becomes king. It has been claimed that he could reign as George VII, just as his grandfather, Prince Albert, became George VI.
“It would be incredibly disconcerting and strange for foreigners, especially in the United States, to suddenly call someone who has been called Prince Charles by another name for more than 70 years,” he tells me at the Cliveden Literary Festival presentation party. at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone.
“It will be considered an English eccentricity taken to a ridiculous degree.” Charles I was beheaded, while Charles II had 14 illegitimate children.

Lady in Red: Heather Mills in Brighton, June 8th
But 15 years after paying £ 3.25 million for her eight-bedroom oak-paneled sanctuary in East Sussex, Heather Mills has been sold, I can reveal. The former vegan model and entrepreneur does not want to comment, but acquired the property after separating from her second husband, Sir Paul McCartney, in 2006.
He completely renovated the house the following year, before ending his divorce from the former Beatle, who is now 80 years old.
But despite the care he put into it, he put it on the rental market in 2011 for £ 7,995 a month.
This time, the asking price was £ 3.5 million. We hope you have succeeded. After getting £ 100 million less in his divorce settlement than he expected, Mills, 54, poured a pitcher of water on Macca’s lawyer, Fiona Shackleton.
