WILL the Honours Forfeiture Committee, considering the removal of Harvey Weinstein’s CBE, now have to dismantle Kevin Spacey’s knighthood – if rumours of inappropriate behaviour prove to be true? This is potentially embarrassing for the Royal Family as Prince Charles handed over Kevin’s K at Clarence House in 2016. The star-struck Spacey, 58, posted a photo with Charles on Facebook saying: ‘I may play a President on TV, but in real life I’m now a Sir. Thanks HRH – what a prince of a guy!’ Clarence House may come to regret letting the photographer in. THE Duchess of York’s sacking of dogwalker Amanda Severn (after her affair with Prince Andrew’s butler) highlights her power in the household of her former husband at Royal Lodge, fuelling speculation that the couple might remarry. It could happen after the birth of William and Kate’s third child next spring when Andrew will no longer need the Queen’s permission to wed. Fairytale Mark II for Fergie who was recently a fixture on US shopping channels selling hair straighteners in ‘royal purple’ to help make ends meet. VANESSA Kirby, 29, pictured, plays Princess Margaret in the Netflix excitement The Crown and says she would love to have got drunk with the Queen’s younger sister adding: ‘She was the coolest person. I’m such a Margaret pervert.’ Miserable HRH, who died in 2002, would have stubbed her fag out on deluded Vanessa’s gushing pretensions. FIRST Lady Melania Trump costs less than her White House predecessor, Michelle Obama, employing four people costing £370,000 annually while Mrs Obama’s staff of 16 cost £940,000. Melania’s communications director Stephanie Grisham, who is paid £102,000, says Mrs T ‘wants to be mindful and responsible when it comes to taxpayer money’. DEPLoRING the delayed renovation to the Houses of Parliament, Labour MP Chris Bryant shouts in the chamber: ‘Get on with it! Get on with it man!’ Speaker John Bercow interjects: ‘I usually have the copyright on the phrase “Get on with it man”. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.’ Bryant fires back: ‘Parliament has no copyright, as you well know!’ Bryant has his eye on Bercow’s privileged perch, by the way. ASKED what he thinks of Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, ex-New York mayor Michael Bloomberg tells LBC’s Nick Ferrari: ‘I’ll never forget looking out the window of my apartment in London and seeing him pull up outside on his bicycle. He got off, chained it to some railings and then deliberately messed up his hair, which had been looking just fine’, adding: ‘That hair is something else!’ Do you suppose he shares a colourist with yellow-haired Tory MP Michael Fabricant?
