Autumn Phillips, former wife of Princess Anne's son Peter, appeared to be humming the song Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) yesterday.

Just days after her ex proudly showed off his new girlfriend, Harriet Sperling, introducing her to Queen Camilla, Autumn, 46, made a point of publicly hugging her super-rich boyfriend, Irish property tycoon Donal Mulryan, 54.

And emphasising that she remains a part of Peter's family, Autumn larked about in a golf buggy with his sister, Zara Tindall, and Anne's lady-in-waiting, Dolly Maude.

They were competing in the ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Clas-sic in the Midlands.

Peter and Autumn have two daughters, Savannah, 13, who was Queen Elizabeth's first great-grandchild, and Isla, 12. They separated in 2019 after 11 years of marriage.

A month after their divorce was finalised, I revealed Autumn was going out with Donal, who was still married to socialite Louise.

The past year has been a challenging one for California's best-known couples, particularly since being summarised as 'f*****g grifters' by an executive at Spotify, after the audio platform cancelled their $20 million contract.

 But Prince Harry and Meghan can console themselves that, with fingers inserted in many pies, they can still put bread and jam — homemade, of course — on the table at their mansion in Montecito.

But can the same be said for their most ardent fan, Omid Scobie? Accounts just filed for the author's publishing business, MeYou, report that it held just £359 in capital and reserves — down from £35,400 a year earlier. The title of his latest book is, of course, Endgame.

She witnessed catastrophic defeat from an intimate perspective as personal assistant to John Major when, in 1997, he led the Conservatives to an election drubbing.

Now Dame Arabella Warburton has been drawn into a battle over her godfather's £6 million fortune.

John Deby, a judge who died in 2022 aged 90, named Dame Arabella as one of his executors and bequeathed £40,000 to her and £20,000 to antique dealer Wynyard Wilkinson. He also left £1 million to Jozef Gejdos, with whom he'd entered a civil partnership in 2016.

Wilkinson, who was also an executor of the will, has now launched a High Court claim for more than £4 million, naming Gejdos, Dame Arabella and a third executor, as defendants.

Dame Arabella's lawyer tells me she is 'acting neutrally' in a 'dispute between [Gejdos] and [Wilkinson]'.

'We haven't had any darts champions,' the choreographer tells me at the Spring Ball in aid of the Style for Stroke and Melissa Bell foundations in London.

'There's still so many communities that we haven't actually investigated yet, that are available.' Revel Horwood says there are some special guests lined up. 'Yes, there are, but I've been sworn to secrecy, darling, and I'm very mouthy, so I've got to be careful.'

Society is about to descend on a corner of West London for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, but Jim Carter — butler Carson in Downton Abbey — suggests we are no longer a green-fingered country.

'The British are meant to be a nation of gardeners, but if you look out of a train window, you'd think we've become a nation of trampolinists,' the actor says, referring to the proliferation of kids' play equipment. Carter wants children to be introduced to the joys of horticulture. 'Now in schools, we need more green time and less screen time.'

Dizzying riches have enabled the Rothschilds to amass unrivalled treasures. But now I can disclose that Kate de Rothschild, 74, who, with siblings Nicholas, Lionel and Charlotte, inherited Exbury House in Hampshire from their father, Edmund, in 2009, is putting the contents of its library up for sale.

Last year, the French branch of the family auctioned a mass of worldly goods at Christie's in New York — and were rewarded with £50 million. But Kate and her siblings are entrusting Exbury's volumes — many of which were acquired in the 19th century — to a far more modest firm, Rowley's in Ely, Suffolk. Its managing director, Roddy Lloyd, declines to comment. Nor does any comment emerge from Exbury.
