EMILY PRESCOTT: Prince Harry’s old flame Cressida Bonas tries her hand at bowling in London

It is often misconstrued as a sport best saved for old age – so who better to bring lawn bowls back in fashion than Cressida Bonas, left, and her half-sister Pandora Cooper-Key. Pandora, 40, has been working hard with the West London Bowling Club to entice new members, and has succeeded in luring Cressie, 34, who dated Prince Harry for two years, and Spice Girl Geri Halliwell to try their hand at the game.

The family of the Queen Mother’s servant ‘Backstairs’ Billy Tallon are furious about a new West End play they claim exploits his 52 years of service.

Billy, who died in 2007, never spoke about his Clarence House role, but now a play, Backstairs Billy, directed by veteran Michael Grandage, is coming to the Duke of York’s Theatre next month. Set in 1979, it stars Luke Evans as Billy and Penelope Wilton as the Queen Mother.

Billy’s cousin Naomi Featherstone is hoping the show flops. She tells me: ‘He could have made an awful lot of money if he opened his mouth, but he never did. He was loyal.

‘I hope nobody goes to see this play. I hope it’s a washout.’

Judging from this picture, it’s not just Michael Gove who has a penchant for letting it loose on the dancefloor.

Revellers at the Cova Santa club and restaurant in Ibiza were so surprised to see David Cameron there that one man even snatched a selfie with the former PM. And there was I thinking that David wife’s Sam – an old uni friend of musician and rapper Tricky – was the raver in the family!

In 2021, Gove was filmed dancing away at a club night in Aberdeen at 2am, still in his suit – but his old boss looks a little more relaxed in this candid snap.
