"You can't have a private life if you are part of the Royal family," the interior designer tells me at the Spear's Design for Living Awards in Mayfair. "If you want a private life, don't marry into the Royal family, go and live quietly in Anglesey."

The Duchess of Cornwall's chum adds: "I'm sick of all this private-life stuff. It's like all these film stars who go on about wanting a private life. It's a double-edged sword."
