A throwaway couple of sentences in this morning’s Ephraim Hardcastle column in the Daily Mail was actually truly one of the most telling analyses of the truth of the court case brought by Prince Harry against the publishers News Group Newspapers.

The two sentences – featured in a column by “The Mail’s acerbic diarist, with all the most wicked gossip that the stars don’t want you to know…” – read:

“The judge in Harry’s privacy case says there are ‘troubling factual inconsistencies’ in his evidence for claims dating back decades.”

Ephraim Hardcastle
The Duke of Sussex has joined up with the titleless and frankly as dull as dishwater husband of Sir Elton John, Mr David Furnish, to take on News Group Newspapers. He was deservedly mocked in this morning’s ‘Daily Mail’ but sadly they failed to mention fellow beyond boring litigants including Hugh Grant and Sadie Frost.

Sir Elton John and his titleless husband – whom, if you’d believe his April 2016 whining to the ‘Daily Mail’s’ Sebastian Shakespeare, would like to be called ‘Lady John’ – like to spend as much time as possible with Prince Charles’ second son and his avaricious wife. The non-working royals like to sponge off the very, very, very rich popstar and his hubby and, let’s be honest, they wouldn’t be clinging to their coattails if they the 75-year-old old geezer and his 16-year-younger sidekick were living in a council house in Peckham.
