Queen Camilla revealed King Charles was 'thrilled' to return to royal duties this week and joked that she had been 'trying to hold him back' during his cancer treatment. The Queen (left), 76, spoke about the monarch's dedication to his work' during her reception at Buckingham Palace to relaunch the Wash Bags Project today.  The monarch, 75, returned to public duties yesterday after doctors said they were pleased with his progress following cancer diagnosis in February. On Tuesday, Charles (right), who has been a patron of Macmillan Cancer Support for over 20 years, made a trip to the London treatment centre (inset). Speaking to Teresa Tideman, chairman of In Kind Direct, the Queen said today: 'I think he was really thrilled to be out.'

Queen Camilla was joined by Theresa May, Cherie Blair and Carrie Johnson as she relaunched the Wash Bags Project at Buckingham Palace today (right inset). The royal, 76, first launched the initiative, which provides toiletries to victims of sexual abuse, back in 2013.  For the occasion, the Queen opted for an elegant blue collared dress, black suede heels and her a green Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet. During the reception, Camilla said she was inspired to start the project after speaking with rape and sexual abuse survivors during her visits to the Sexual Assault Referral Centres from 2009 onwards. The bags - which are donated by Boots - are offered at the centres after victims undergo forensic examination, as a small gesture of comfort during a difficult time. The Queen was pictured deep in conversation with Cherie Blair (left), 69, who founded her own foundation to help get women into business in 2008. Meanwhile, Camilla was also pictured seen happily chatting with Theresa May (right), who served as the UK's second female Prime Minister from 2016 to 2019. Earlier in the afternoon, Carrie Johnson (centre) shared a joke about motherhood with Queen Camilla as she was warmly greeted by the royal at a Buckingham Palace reception.

The barrister, who is married to ex-PM Sir Tony Blair , is backing the Children's Poverty Plan, which says the law that means Universal Credit payments cover only two of a family's children 'breaks the link between what children need and the support they receive'. Her intervention could be awkward for Sir Keir, who has said he plans to keep the cap in place if he wins the election, despite unease among Labour politicians including Manchester mayor Andy Burnham . Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning, Lady Blair said there had been a 'massive increase of relative poverty' in recent years.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: He was just 41 when he announced his resignation after amassing an estimated £450 million. Since then, the 'Wizard of Oz', as Australian hedge fund whizz-kid Greg Coffey (left) has purchased an £83 million American estate in the Hamptons and the 12,000-acre Ardfin Estate on the Scottish island of Jura. However, Coffey is now at loggerheads with the jeweller, who lives in one of London's grandest squares, where another flat sold for just over £12 million eight months ago. Dorrit Moussaieff (right), 74, has become so flooded by water that she sloshes down from Coffey's apartment that she's shared a snapshot showing where ceiling panels have crashed to the ground, according to a photograph shared on social media. Moussaieff tells me, 'It has impacted me horribly.' Flooding has occurred repeatedly.' Water damage has now been excluded from the building.'

Could sticking small metal beads to your ear really help ease the crushing symptoms of chronic fatigue condition ME? Since an entrepreneur insisted that the products, also known as ear seeds, helped her recover from the disease in just a year, it's been asked this week. Giselle Boxer, 31, from Sheffield, was stunned by all six judges on Dragon's Den for a minority interest in her company Acu Seeds earlier this month. Dragon Steven Bartlett, 31, for 12.5 percent of the company, which sells packets of gold- or silver-plated ear seeds for £30, was ultimately accepted by the mother-of-one. ME, which stands for myalgic encephalomyelitis, is a disabling, complicated disease that affects 250,000 people in the United Kingdom.

RICHARD KAY: For years, the woman, who had mistakenly dubbed the 'Angel of Peckham', had been treated with love and admiration that bordered on adulation. Universities had been attempting to give honorary degrees to her feet, but the BBC named her as one of the country's 100'most influential' women. But eight years ago, her reign as Britain's undisputed charity queen came to a halt, as Kids Company, which she founded in order to support homeless children and their families from violent and underprivileged inner-city backgrounds, came to a halt due to allegations of misappropriation of tens of millions of pounds of taxpayer money. With the death of her mother, princes, actors, and the gullible rich who were all seduced by her flamboyant outfits and equally optimistic stories about her charity this week, the mystery remains as to why she captivated prime ministers and princes, celebrities, and the gullible wealthy who were all seduced by her dazzling outfits and similarly dazzling reports about her charity.

The records show that Cherie Blair was 'adamant' that her husband Tony should be hanged in Lincoln's Inn, the inn of court, but it brought him a headache for his aides. A consultant named Fiona Millar wrote to Mr Blair in November 2002, "We have a dilemma here because you haven't got time for the required sittings at this moment." One of us thinks the photo of you posing for your portrait is a particularly good one at the moment, particularly if the war in Iraq escalates.'

The last five episodes of The Crown have finally arrived on Netflix - to mixed reviews. On Thursday, December 14, part two of series six came to an end, bringing the famous show about the British royal family to a close. The episodes explore William and Harry's grief in the aftermath of Diana's death, Prince Margaret's last years, as well as William and Kate's first thrones of romance while attending St Andrews University.

Berlusconi, a titan of Italian politics and culture renowned for balancing work and pleasure, died in June at the age of 86 after a string of health problems culminating in a leukaemia diagnosis, was a titan of Italian politics and culture renowned for mixing work with pleasure, and he had a property portfolio to match. From opulent palazzos, lakeside villas, mansions, and penthouses from Antigua to Antigua, the three-time Prime Minister, who also built a massive media empire whilst fighting a string of court cases ranging from mafia collusion to underage prostitution. Villa Certosa, a mansion nestled on Sardinia's Emerald Coast, where Berlusconi held a lavish welcome reception for Tony and Cherie Blair in August 2004, is just one of the rare houses up for auction, and is expected to sell for €250 million. However, although Berlusconi's five children decided to sell the majority of his real estate, one home will remain in the family, according to Italy's ANSA news service.

When I told my son I was pregnant at the age of 50, he was pretty startled, spluttering: 'Aren't you getting on a bit, mum?' I was born when I was 21 years old and I was planning to meet his brother or sister at the age of 51, rather than beginning a new round of endless nappy swaps and sleepless nights. Having two children with a 30-year age difference allows me to compare pregnancy and motherhood three decades apart, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that having a baby in my 50s is the best thing I've ever done, including having one in my 20s. Alice is now five, I'm 56, and apart from aching joints and menopause (thankfully managed by HRT), I'm loving every single minute of late-life motherhood. In fact, I'd say the whole process has been much less straightforward this time around: I've more hours, patience, self-belief, and I'm sure a much happier mother than I was 30 years ago.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: My Saturday essay from America last week may have mistook it for the wrong way of thinking that despite the current state of politics in the United States, the British system remains a relative oasis of sanity and stability. I now know that nothing could be further from the truth and that I should apologise wholeheartedly. British politics have unravelled so brilliantly over the past few days that we can no longer pretend we live in a 'free world.' Or, even a functioning democracy, come to that.

Feeding Creativity is McCartney's third book of vegetarian recipes; she and her fashion designer sister Stella co-created one; Vegetarianism used to be the favored cause of cranks and sandal-wearing lefties, but it has long since gone mainstream, and veggie cookbooks have topped the bestseller list.

The former Prime Minister of Buckinghamshire had applied for permission to extend a guesthouse on account of his Grade I-listed, 18th Century mansion. But the Gardens Trust, which safeguards historically important landscapes, protested, and the local council has rejected it. Sir Tony and his partner Cherie's legal team then submitted hundreds of pages of evidence to support the work at South Pavilion in the village of Wotton Underwood.

My eyes searched the thousands of second-hand clothing on sale before resting on one item - a khaki canvas utility jacket covered in badges. As I immediately recognized it as one of mine, my heart sank. Only that it hadn't come out of my closet. No, it's worse than that. I was the one who created it just six months before.

It's unlikely that any member of the royal family would scrubbing toilets, selling fish and chips from a van, or serving drinks to someone. However, these were not glamorous and not very glamorous careers for a few people who were humble beginnings and married into The Firm. MailOnline reveals the jobs held by members of the royal family before they married into The Company - from working in a yoghurt shop in California to starting a PR firm.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Keir Starmer, a tragic paedophile who kills babies and eats them for breakfast. I'm Richard Littlejohn and I accept this message. Let me be 100% clear that none of the above is remotely true before Labour's commencement. However, that's just the kind of prime-time political message you hear during American television commercial breaks in the run-up to elections.

TANYA SARNE: When I started my fashion label, Ghost, I was an unemployed single mother with my 40th birthday fast approaching. It was 1984, an epoch when working women were expected to multitask. Clothes must be clean, suitable for running for a bus, doing the school run, washing up, or going to a meeting. However, women were dressed in uncomfortable structured suits in order to compete with men in the boardroom. What I wanted was the opposite of power dressing; clothes that represented women's femininity, but also tumble-dried, and which didn't need ironing.

HOW HOPETER HITCHENS: The unashamed mainframe of a supposedly conservative budget is a scheme to encourage women to leave their children and go out to work (stock photo). Anti-family socialists and canonical hardline feminists, who are often the same people, have long aimed to convert women into wage slaves. In the 1980s, the old Communist East Germany managed to cram 90 percent of its women into factories and offices, a major triumph. Any contemporary feminists adore this book to this day. For them, the only worthwhile life is the pursuit of paid work. The only 'working women' are those who work outside the house. As a result of increased equality among good women and men, the next generation will be regarded as servitude by the intelligent, purposeful, and farmed out to paid strangers.

WITH no confirmation that Boris has knighted his father, political skeptics are questioning why he didn't give the job to Rishi Sunak. Former Prime Ministers have been entrusted with the care of their families. Margaret Thatcher's replacement John Major ordered Philip May's baronetcy to be conferred by John Major. Tony Blair arranged Norma Major's damehood, and David Cameron approved Cherie Blair's CBE. If asked, might Rishi have declined to gong Stanley? On their daily march up and down the Mall, King Charles inadvertently confuses the Household Cavalry. A solo trumpeter makes a fanfare on the sight of the Royal Standard atop Buckingham Palace's confirming that the monarch is in residence.

It's unlikely that any member of the royal family scrubbing toilets, selling fish and chips from a van, or serving alcohol to someone. However, these were not glamorous and not so glamorous positions for a few who had humble beginnings and married into The Firm. Here's a look at the careers that members of the royal family held before they married into The company, from working in a yoghurt shop in California to starting a PR company.

After the Queen Mother's funeral scenes were shot yesterday, actresses playing Tony and Cherie Blair were spotted at Winchester Cathedral for a day of filming on series six of the Netflix series. The final series of The Crown will examine Tony Blair's tenure as Prime Minister in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Princess Diana's death in August 1997 and her funeral in September, just months after the Blairs regained landslide Labour victory in the general election. Mr Blair, the nation's highest-intensible, after the death of Princess Diana, was 'devastated' at the news and was mourning with the remainder of the world. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Princess Diana's famly, particularly her two sons," he said. 'Our hearts are out to them.' Cherie Blair, an actor, appears on the right. Inset: The Blairs at Princess Diana's funeral

Sir Evelyn's third wife, American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and political power player Lynn Forester, 68, and her husband's offspring, Jessica, David, and Anthony were reported to be in squabbles between her husband and her husband's offspring. A multi-million-pound wedge of Rothschild fortune is expected to pass out of the 200-year-old British branch of the family empire, which also helped finance Wellington's armies at Waterloo, Suez Canal, and the London Underground. We're talking about one of the biggest upheavals of this sort in history,' a source close to the family told The Mail on Sunday night. We suspect he gave over the Rothschild fortune, or at least a portion of it.' It's all likely that it will be heading to Lynn, and it would not have been if he hadn't been very generous to everyone.' Lynn is expected to get'something in the region of £600 million,' according to the source.

Misan Harriman (pictured left), a close friend of the Sussexes, is the latest celebrity to voiced her displeasure after domestic violence activist Ngozi Fulani (pictured right) said she was repeatedly asked where she was from by senior royal aide Lady Susan Hussey (pictured inset top). Lady Hussey, 83, once the Queen's chief lady-in-waiting, resigned today as the second individual to fire, Nazir Afzal, 60, who also quizzed him about his birthright. The storm could not have come at a time for the Royal Family brand, as William and Kate (pictured inset bottom in Boston) are in the middle of a tour in the United States, a world still grappling with long-running racial issues. Netflix also announced its first official trailer for Harry and Meghan's bombshell Netflix documentary this afternoon, fueling the fire. Mr Harriman wrote on Instagram today that responding to the racial controversy: "This is completely intolerable." Ngozi Fulani, a GIANT in her field, is a scholar. She has dedicated her life to helping women who are victims of domestic violence. They should have known who she was and celebrated the fact that she is one of the nation's most popular women.' It came Mr Afzal, one of the UK's leading lawyers, this morning claimed that Lady Hussey - who is Prince William's godmother - interrogated him about his heritage at the same function where she asked a Ms Fulani: 'Where in Africa are you from?'

Nazir Afzal, 60, Chancellor of Manchester University and former Chief Prosecutors under Sir Keir Starmer, reacted to the controversies by stating: "Racism is never far away." Following Buckingham Palace's debacle over ethnic clash, Lady Susan Hussey, the late queen's chief lady-in-waiting, resign after being accused of racially insulting her and refusing to believe she was British, Ngozi Fulani has dominated headlines around the world. I was at the Buckingham Palace reception, where Lady Hussey challenged Ngozi Fulani's history, according to Mr Afzal. "She only asked me my heritage once & seemed to accept my answer - Manchester now!' Despite Buckingham Palace's allegations that they had not, Ngozi Fulani today revealed that the King, Queen Consort, or Prince William had not contacted her to apologize. However, she said she'd be 'good' to speak with the Royal Family to discuss what happened when Lady Susan Hussey refused to believe she was British and "about 7 or eight times" had asked her, "where are you really from?" says the woman. The 'interrogation' was described by the author as 'I was stood next to two other people - black women - and she (Lady Susan) just made a beeline for me, and she moved my hair out of the way so she could see my name badge. That's a no-no. I wouldn't take my hands in someone's hair, and culturally speaking, it isn't appropriate.'
