EMILY PRESCOTT: The King seems to have inspired some of the Royal Family's younger members to follow his love of nature. Lady Amelia Windsor, pictured, the granddaughter of the Duke of Kent and second cousin to the King, is now working on a wildflower plot that will be exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show this year. Amelia, 28 - once dubbed the most beautiful member of the Royal Family - is also carving out a career as a freelance gardening writer to go with her modelling work. The stylish aristocrat, pictured below among daffodils in a post on her social media account, says of her Chelsea role: 'So excited and honoured to be a very small part of the team for Kent Wildflower Seeds's first garden at the Chelsea Flower Show.'

Her husband Mohammed Esreb, 43, and bodyguards Matthew Littlewood, 34, and Andrew Bott, 52, are also accused of a single count of robbery in relation to the alleged incident, said to have taken place on May 18 2020.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: She lived a remarkable life, marrying three times, flying over the Himalayas, and speaking her mind with a demeanor much beyond that of her fellow aristocrats. Princess Diana's aunt, Mary Roche, has bequeathed a smidgeon of mystery in her will, ten months after her death at the age of 88. Diana and her younger sister Frances, Diana's mother, came from a family that had been dramatically improved two generations before her grandfather, James, 3rd Lord Fermoy, married an American heiress. However, Mary did not leave a lot of money. Far from it.

In an interview with The Shop Flaw podcast, Rhiannon, an ex-Harrods employee, discussed all of the'super tight' regulations and dress code that came with working at the London luxury store. 'You should know skin care,' she continued: 'If your skin wasn't looking great, it would have been flagged.'

MailOnline has discovered that private contractors will be sent in to do jobs carried out by the Metropolitan Police in a recent security shake-up at Royal residences. However, experts warn that the scheme, which was devised by the Home Office with the Royal Household and the Met, could jeopardize the Royals' security. Currently, security at the Royal Palaces in London and Windsor Castle, as well as Holyrood and Balmoral in Scotland, is managed by a Metropolitan Police Control Room, which is staffed by approximately 150 civil Met employees. However, in early 2025, those employees will be required to leave the Met and instead join whatever private security company obtains the Home Office contract for the job.

The Crown's sixth and final season has come to a dramatic conclusion this morning when the remaining five episodes were landed on Netflix. In the aftermath of Diana's tragic death, writer Peter Morgan from London has written a whole episode describing Prince William and King Charles' apparently tense friendship. What's more, viewers are also introduced to Kate Middleton as a student at St Andrews after she saw her late mother-in-law by complete chance on a shopping trip with Carole in London. In the meantime, the writers examined Princess Margaret's last years and provides flashbacks from her time in freedom with Queen Elizabeth to the end of WWII in 1945.

The iconic leopard print Gottex swimsuit by Princess Diana has been revived - and fans are going crazy for the legendary design. When Diana and her partner Dodi Al-Fayed were on holiday in the Mediterranean in July 1997, she was pictured sporting the eye-catching one-piece. Following a meeting between the Princess and Leah Gottlieb, the brand's founder of Gottex, at the London studio, the swimsuit was made specifically for Diana. Since Princess Diana was photographed in hundreds of paparazzi photos sporting it, it became a luxury collector's piece. For the first time since the 90s, the animal print swimsuit is back for purchase at £150, ranging from 10 to 18.

When Mohamed (Salim Daw) stands over the corpse of his son Dodi (Khalid Abdalla), the scene (pictured) is played out at the start of episode four of Netflix's royal drama (which landed on the streaming network this morning). Before breaking into tears, Mohamed kissed Dodi's forehead before bursting into tears. Inset: Father and son are seen enjoying a barbecue in Harrods, London, together in 1989.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said that the current series is too close to recent history, thereby opening old wounds for Diana's close friends and relatives. 'It's still feels macabre to show the car in which she died, but it's just gone too far,' Paul said. "I find the whole scene of Diana's death in a fictional TV show gruesome," he said.

JAN MOIR: What first attracted Princess Diana to the multi-millionaire Dodi Fayed?That's one of the many questions that remain unanswered and unanswered in the new series of The Crown, which was announced today. We all have assumptions, and we all have theories. We all have The Crown to say that Dodi was a youngling demi-dolt ruled by his puppet-master father, Mohamed Al-Fayed. Mohamed is a wily, socially aspired man who plans the unforgettable yacht holiday that marks the end for poor Diana's life. It is Mohamed who advises Dodi to abandon his inconvenient American fiancee, but it is not Mohamed who is genuinely deceased and cannot sue The Crown for implying that he has brought Diana "on a plate" for Dodi and advises him not to'seal the contract.' Really?Ugh. Dodi (Khalid Abdalla), who lives in another cringe scene from the summer of 1997, writes love poems and has his words engraved on a silver plaque, which he presents to an unimpressed Diana ( Elizabeth Debicki).

The Crown will show Elizabeth Debicki's Princess Diana posing for paparazzi cameras while on her final holiday just weeks before her death, as the newly published photos show. When filming scenes of Princess Diana's Mediterranean cruise with Dodi Al Fayed (played by Khalid Abdalla) in 1997, the Australian actress plunged into a dive. Debicki, 33, appeared in a backless animal print halter-neck swimsuit as she shot scenes for the sixth season of Netflix's drama on a recreation of yacht Jonikal owned by Dodi's father Mohamed Al Fayed.

The finale is supposed to recreate memorable scenes from Diana's last days, including her whirlwind romance with Dodi Fayed (inset), which began on the yacht Jonikal in the summer of 1997 (right), just weeks before they died in a car crash in Paris on August 31. The exhibit also recreates poignant photos of Diana's last summer holiday on board Mohamed Al-Fayed's yacht in the South of France, just days before her death in 1997 (left).

PETRONELLA WYATT: The ephetious Miss Havisham lives out her life in the ashes of her wedding dress, preserving the moment of her betrayal in her ghastly surroundings. Mohamed Al Fayed had done something even worse. To his deceased son, he had created an organic, living shrine. It was as if he wanted Dodi to walk through the door at any second and pick up the threads of his life.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Sir Nicholas Coleridge, Eton's next Provost, is unlikely to reveal with his students his ecstatics as the new Conde Nast's next Provost, particularly his nude encounter with late Mohamed Fayed's lieutenant Michael Cole. It happened in 1996, in the intimate four-berth steam bath at Michael's London club, the Bath and Racquets. Michael had suggested the naked meeting in the hopes of resolving a libel lawsuit involving Coleridge's magazine Vanity Fair, which had chronicled the Harrods tycoon's personal peccadillos. Nicholas agreed. My source is a whistleblower. 'By being naked,' Mr Cole said, his rivalry could rest assured he was not being monitored.' And Michael was thrilled that no taping was allowed.' Surely the only element missing to complete the James Bond-like scenario was the former BBC royal correspondent murmuring in his birthday suit: 'The name's Cole, Michael Cole!'

ANDREW NEIL, a former Egypt Al Fay employee, shares how the Harrods boss blamed himself for the death of Diana and his son (pictured together) - and makes startling new revelations. 'I hear you've banned our biggest advertiser,' he wrote in the Daily Mail,' said the somewhat menacing voice from New York. It was Rupert Murdoch. We're now in the mid-1980s, I was the editor of The Sunday Times, and we've just banned our biggest advertiser. Just hours before Murdoch's call, I'd been contacted by Mohamed Al Fayed, then Harrods' notorious and voluble owner. Obviously, I knew who he was, but I'd never met him. And our chat was not of the 'let's-know-each-other' variety.'

Salim Daw (pictured left), 73, of Israel, took to Instagram to mourn the death of Mohamed Al-Fayed (pictured inset), with whom he had a special link since being a fan of his character The Crown. On Salim's birthday, the former Harrods owner and father died of a long-term illness, which he described as 'no coincidence.'

After spotting him in The Ritz in January 1990, Mohammed Al-Fayed, a 94-year-old man, re-established a close working relationship with him, describing him as a "gentleman's gentleman" on Wednesday. In The Crown series five, Jude Akuwudike plays Sydney Johnson, portrayed left and inset. Right, with Mohamed Al-Fayed in 1989)

Mohamed Al Fayed's death on Wednesday at the age of 94 could ignite a Succession-style war for his £1.7 billion empire. The self-made billionaire's fortune would ultimately need to be divided among his four children from his second wife, Heini Wathen, 68, when he died.

Mr Al-Fayed died on Wednesday, on the eve of the 26th anniversary of the high-speed accident in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris, where Dodi, 42, and Diana, 36, were killed on August 31, 1997. Henri Paul, the Ritz security chief, was driving the Mercedes 280S and was also discovered dead in the wreckage. Following a long illness, the former Fulham owner and chairman died. After a Muslim funeral at the London Central Mosque in Regent's Park, he was buried in a chamber next to that of his son's at the family mausoleum in Oxted, Surrey. The grave of Dodi is surrounded by four blazing candles. Egyptian father Egyptian father spent long hours in the shadows of the mausoleum in his last years, imagining his son.

MAIL COMMENT: Something rather like anarchy is emerging in one of our country's most vital areas - the big supermarket stores, where millions of us go every few days and where hundreds of thousands of people work long hours. For several, such places have replaced the high streets where we used to mingle. They are, therefore, a reliable barometer of the country's situation. Customers' instances of violence (if they merit the call) have grown so bad that Tesco and other supermarket stores are now selling some of their employees' body-worn cameras.

Mohamed Al Fayed was buried on Friday in a chamber next to his son Dodi in a mausoleum guarded by statues of lions and sphinxes on the family's 226-acre Surrey estate. The grave of Dodi, who was killed alongside Princess Diana in a Paris car crash 26 years ago, is among four burning candles around her grave. In his final years, his Egyptian father - who died aged 94 on Wednesday - spent long hours in the shadows of the mausoleum, mourning his son

Fulham earned their respects by wearing black armbands and a banner in honor of former owner Mohamed Al Fayed's passing. Al Fayed died at the age of 94 and was the sole proprietor of Fulham for 16 years. Al Fayed led the club to the Premier League for the first time within four years of his reign as chairman.
