Lord West opened the bag. 'It was completely empty,' he tells Radio 4.

Princess Margaret had a sommelier's nose for sycophants and could reduce the powerful to a damp wreck...but she loved nothing better than dancing to reggae, writes SUSANNAH CONSTANTINE (who used to date her son!)

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 12, 2024
My childhood, split between Kensington in West London and our rented country house on the estate of Belvoir Castle in Lincolnshire, was distinctly privileged, though something of a gilded cage for women. The rules of my class meant the only thing I was prepared for by the time I got to 21, in 1983, was marriage to a suitable mate. And as luck would have it, I'd met one only the week before. It was the relationship that would define my 20s, and yet the most significant part of the equation, it turned out, was not my boyfriend but his mother - HRH Princess Margaret (left, the pair together in 1984). Meeting her son, David Linley was like bagging the star prize at a fancy tombola. In my Sloaney world you didn't get much higher than a viscount. Princess Margaret gave me the courage to be myself, because that's exactly what she always was. She was rarely neutral and never dull. Everyone knew she loved a drink and a fag, but few had the pleasure of seeing her dance around to Desmond Dekker's Israelites in her drawing room. If there was one thing she guarded with her life, it was the right to play DJ when hosting at Kensington Palace.

MICHAEL MOSLEY: Here's how a smile could help you live to be 100 years old!

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 2, 2023
Dr. MICHAEL MOSLEY: A friend's father died recently at the age of 98. He didn't have a healthy lifestyle; he smoked and drank a lot in his youth; and served in tanks during World War II. He attributed his longevity to his wife's help and a generally optimistic outlook on life. So was he right?In fact, there are plenty of reports indicating that being positive about your life and getting older has a dramatic effect on longevity. A new report by the Journal of Happiness Studies has discovered six other aspects of personality that are related to an unusual old age. The study was based on statistics from Spanish centenarians ranging in age from 100 to 107; as well as optimism - feeling grateful for life and celebrating the good things that happen - the centenarians all expressed vitality, loved learning new things, were sociable, academic, and resilient. I'm a bit of an Eeyore, with a tendency to expect the worst and a glimpse at life's dark side. So I've long been interested in investigating the effects of personality on life expectancy.
