TALK OF THE TOWN: Is Prince Andrew set to lose £13m on a quick sale of his Verbier skiing chalet?

Could Prince Andrew be willing to make a stunning multi-million-pound loss on a quick sale of his Verbier skiing chalet?

My spies tell me the Prince has told agents to accept £5 million for the property if a deal can be done by Christmas.

The seven-bedroom lodge, jointly owned with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, went on sale for £18.3 million earlier this year.

The pair are said to be desperate to shift it to repay part of a reported £6.7 million debt. A spokesman for the Prince said: ‘It remains on the market at the asking price.’

But if you have a spare £5 million – and fancy a chalet which reportedly boasts a 650 square foot indoor pool, sauna, sun terrace and bar – it might be worth a try…

Word reaches me that Prince Harry’s best friends Thomas Van Straubenzee and Thomas ‘Skippy’ Inskip have postponed the baptism of their children, hoping the wayward Royal can attend once Covid restrictions allow.

It’s a tradition that if you have a close Royal friend, they become godparent – so the postponement could signal a warming of relations between Skippy and Harry after Skippy failed to make the guest list for the Prince’s wedding reception.

Harry and Meghan had been guests at Skippy’s nuptials in Jamaica but he and wife Lara were leapfrogged at Harry’s do by celebrities including Oprah Winfrey and the Clooneys.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
