LAURENCE LLEWELYN-BOWEN, who has designed floors for Buckingham Palace, sympathises with King Charles as he plans the Coronation.

‘Speaking as the patriarch of a large opinionated family myself, it’s a bloody minefield,’ the Changing Rooms star, 57, tells me. ‘I’d expect my entire family to be there, including my naughty, estranged son and his American missus.’ Speaking at the first night of The Great British Bake Off Musical, at the Noel Coward Theatre in London’s West End, he adds: ‘The late Queen ran such a tight ship. But over history, they’ve [the Royal Family] always been badly behaved. It’s nice to be back in the days of the Regency when everything was a bit naughty.’
