HOWARD ELSTON (doa) has the inside line on the Royal Story to beat all Royal Stories (until the next one)

The Duchess of Cambridge is today conferring with her brother- in-law Prince Harry about the furore over those sick Parisian  photos showing her topless during a holiday.

She is known to be unsure of how to handle the barrage of media over the unscrupulous use of the snapshots used by  an unscrupulously  grotesque French (natch)  magazine.

An insider at Buckingham Palace told me : ‘The Duchess is aghast and knows that Prince Harry always shows his best side when it comes to the public. After all, look how he displayed his real self in Las Vegas.’

Suave

Phil from Leeds, a used car dealer and a national expert on the Royal Family said:  ‘Our Kate knows who to confer with when the mess hits the fan.’

‘Harry will know what to do. He never puts a foot wrong. And for that matter, neither do I with my new Eco Fiestas flying off the forecourt with £1000 down and no questions asked.’

Buckingham Palace confirmed that the two Royals, part of the Young Generation of the Windsor clan, are close and in daily contact about what to do next.

A Bucks House staffer said: ‘To her, Harry is the paradigm of an intelligent suave and knowing young man who never dresses in Nazi uniforms and is never found with his trousers down in a foreign country.’
