EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: How Princess Anne turned down a \u00a340,000 private jet to fly with BA instead<\/h1>\n

Gibraltar governor Sir David Steel had to call in all outstanding favours with the Spanish for\u00a0Princess Anne’s land trip from Malaga to Gibraltar after her British Airways\u00a0plane was diverted by fog.<\/p>\n

But how was Anne, patron of the Rock’s Literary Festival, to get back to\u00a0London\u00a0on Saturday?\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Sir David had no leverage left with the Spanish to persuade them to allow her to drive across the frontier,’ whispers my source. ‘He had to hire a \u00a340,000 private jet for the Princess Royal and her husband Tim.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fortuitously, just before her departure, the fog lifted \u2013 allowing her incoming British Airways flight to land.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told a relieved Sir David: ‘I have a return ticket and I’d prefer to fly BA.’<\/p>\n

The <\/span>South Korean president’s state visit surely has Prince Andrew nostalgically recalling the last such visit ten years ago, when he welcomed the president on behalf of the Queen.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same week, he gave several audiences, hosted a dinner for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, held a meeting for those working in education, attended a grand lunch in the City, visited a nursery and then flew off to visit the troops in\u00a0<\/span>Afghanistan<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now kicking his heels, might his ex-missus secure him some useful employment on\u00a0<\/span>ITV<\/span>‘s This Morning twirling the Spin to Win wheel?<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite descriptions of nipple clamping and other Hunnish practices, Strictly’s Shirley Ballas\u00a0has given her mum Audrey, 86, an extract of her fruity novel Murder On The Dance Floor to read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There were oohs and ahhs,’ she says. ‘I could hear all these noises from her room. I was like, “Is she having an orgasm? What is going on?”‘\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shouldn’t\u00a0Esther Rantzen have dispatched a rescue squad from her OAP charity Silver Line?<\/p>\n

‘The ice was broken when I caught you on the riverbank walking backwards and I thought, ‘She’s as mad as I am, it’s fine,’ Anneka tells her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

‘And then you found out that my house was actually on your walk and you started ringing the doorbell just to come in for a pee.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Now she spouts triumphantly about her successful battle to have a wimpish footballer removed by Bantam from the cover of her soccer bonkbuster Tackle!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I had great rows with them,’ she trills. ‘The image they wanted was not nearly good enough. He was not wide enough and I wanted broad shoulders. I think he has got a good body now.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Final score: Jilly 1 Bantam 0.<\/span><\/p>\n
