EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: London's most exclusive gentlemen's club, White's - where King Charles held his stag night - welcomes its first Saudi Arabian member

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 2, 2024
No gentlemen's club is prouder of its reputation as a bastion of the Establishment than White's, founded in 1693 and lying just a couple of hundred yards from St James's Palace. But is change afoot behind its bow-windows, through which generations of noblemen have looked disdainfully at the outside world? I ask because the club, where King Charles held his stag night before his wedding to Lady Diana Spencer, has, I can disclose, elected a member who, on occasion, dresses in billowing robes and headdress. Not a woman, of course - the fairer sex remains rigidly excluded, though White's once or twice tolerated a visit by Queen Elizabeth, a photograph of whom, surrounded by well-nourished members, now adorns its loos. I refer, instead, to Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud, Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Beaming, he then told the press: 'She's a super baby'. Sarah was two-and-a-half years younger than her brother, David.
