The Establishment cover-up has been finally blown. Thirty years after Mohamed Al-Fayed was first exposed as a serial rapist, the BBC has finally exposed his appalling crimes in a new documentary, Al Fayed: Predator at Harrods. Cynics will question why, one year after his death, his reputation remained relatively unblemished until now.

Excited by the resonance of Sir David and Lady Victoria, Beckham knew that Sebastian Coe, who had headed London’s successful 2012 Olympics bid, had started the process. “You’ve done everything that’s been asked of you,” Coe told Beckham.

Dressed like a Hollywood A-lister at the Oscars, Meghan Markle's perma-smile throughout her three-day 'royal tour' in Nigeria said it all: 'I've won.'As she flies back to Los Angeles today, with a stop-over at Heathrow, she can reflect on having established herself as a popular British royal in Nigeria.
