Before Nigerian oil tycoon’s daughter Emma McQuiston married Viscount Weymouth, she spoke about the snobbishness she faced: ‘There’s class and then there’s the racial thing — it’s a jungle.’

Happily, Emma, 28, whose husband Ceawlin is heir to the dotty Marquess of Bath, escaped the ‘jungle’ to spend Mothering Sunday in Miami.

Lady Weymouth, who gave birth to her son John five months ago, posted pictures online of herself in a bikini on a pal’s yacht.

Hollywood star Patricia Arquette, 46, who has complained about a lack of roles for older actresses, should meet former Bond Girl Honor Blackman.

Five months shy of her 90th birthday, The Avengers actress has won a part in a new sitcom, You, Me & Them.

‘I’m supposed to have retired but this is such a funny comedy,’ Honor trills. ‘I couldn’t say no.’  

HM may honour Hawking 

Eddie Redmayne won the Best Actor Oscar for his moving portrayal of Stephen Hawking, but could the scientist be in line for a rarer honour?

The Queen is to give a Buckingham Palace luncheon next month for the Order of Merit and could use the occasion to announce Hawking as its latest addition.

There are only ever 24 members, and there has been a vacancy since sculptor Sir Anthony Caro died in 2013. ‘Hawking would be a worthy member,’ says a courtier.

The 73-year-old physicist turned down a knighthood, but could he be tempted by an OM? Members include naturalist Sir David Attenborough, artist David Hockney and playwright Sir Tom Stoppard. You could call it the world’s most exclusive club.
