Bottoms up! Duke's girls set a distinctly unladylike trend

Not so long ago, aristocratic women’s lives were marked by occasions such as debutante balls and being presented to the Queen at court.

Now a duke’s daughters have recorded their own milestone by posing for ‘belfies’ — selfies showing off their bottoms — and sharing the photographs online.

Lady Violet and Lady Alice Manners, who were brought up in a gothic castle in Leicestershire by their parents, the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, staged the bikini shots while on holiday on the Costa del Sol.

An unnamed, pale-skinned friend, wearing a baseball cap back to front and puffing on a cigarette, is seen putting his hands on their lower backs.

‘A push in the pool mid-belfie,’ Lady Violet, 21, told her social media followers. ‘Annoying.’

Funnily enough, ‘annoying’ is a word sometimes used about the aristo, whose rowdy parties upset neighbours in her smart Fulham street earlier this year.

Is cad Hewitt using Tinder to find a date?

Princess Diana fell in love with James Hewitt as he taught William and Harry to ride horses, but has the old cad turned to technology for his latest seductions?

A man is using the hook-up app Tinder to meet women using photographs of Hewitt in his prime. He gives his age as 57 — the same as Hewitt — but calls himself ‘Jefferson’ not James. ‘Am a loving and caring, hard work [sic] guy who is looking for a soulmate,’ he says on his profile.

‘My love is like a violin: the music may stop, but the strings stay forever.’

Hewitt could not be reached for comment yesterday, but he does have form when it comes to online dating.

In 2010, he was exposed, so to speak, for sending explicit pictures of himself to strangers. ‘I was shocked,’ said one recipient, Alice Swanepoel.

‘Even if I had only been after sex, I’m not sure I would have been that impressed with the pictures he sent.’ Ouch!

Carole Middleton was centre stage in Princess Charlotte’s christening photo, but she has not been embraced warmly enough by the Windsors, according to respected royal biographer Robert Lacey.

He contrasts the Middletons’ reception with that of Lady Diana Spencer’s family after she wed Prince Charles.

‘When Diana came into the Royal Family, the Spencers, being titled people, were welcomed in immediately,’ Lacey says at the launch of his latest book, Model Woman: Eileen Ford And The Business Of Beauty.

‘The Royal Family has been rather remiss in not welcoming the Middletons in.’

‘There’s prejudice against the middle-class Middletons from below and above.’

Jimmy Carr has put the company that handles his millions, F N Good, into voluntary liquidation

Is Carr up to old tricks?

Edgy comedian Jimmy Carr was condemned by David Cameron three years ago when he was exposed as a beneficiary of an aggressive tax avoidance scheme.

Is he about to give HMRC another swerve?

Carr has put the company that handles his millions, F N Good, into voluntary liquidation — a move which appears extraordinary as the firm is in rude health, with a profit of £4 million in the past 13 months and total assets of £9.5 million.

Carr declines to comment, but tax experts say he could now apply for Entrepreneurs’ Tax Relief, resulting in a tax bill of just 10 per cent of the £9.5 million, instead of 28 per cent in capital gains tax.

Carr apologised after he was caught using K2 — a scheme run from Jersey that was said to cut the tax bills of its members to just 1 per cent.

It was reported he’d ploughed as much as £3.3 million a year into K2 from his TV work, DVD sales and live shows.

He said he had been told the scheme was entirely legal.
