Toff Preston is no Ordinary Boy...
Being a toff is taboo in the world of pop. So pity poor Preston, frontman of the Indie band The Ordinary Boys and Celebrity Big Brother contestant, who was recently outed as being of aristocratic lineage as a direct descendant of the 19th century Prime Minister, the 2nd Earl Grey. But the mockney-accented crooner is, I can reveal, even more blue-blooded than that. Preston is a kinsman of royalty. The 24 yr-old singer is related to Prince William and Prince Harry.

The Times (8 Feb) reports that the High Court Judge Sir Terence Etherton, 54, a Judge of the High Court Chancery Division since 2001, has contracted a civil partnership - aka a gay marriage - with his partner Andrew Stone. In December it was reported that the Government had given the Garter Principal King of Arms, Peter Gwynn-Jones, until the middle of January to pronounce upon whether or not gays marrying titled partners under the new Civil Partnership Act should receive titles themselves. Gwynn-Jones may bow to pressure from a large faction in the College of Arms which believe that if women receive their husbands' titles, so should homosexuals. It was reported that a compromise was likely to be made so that peers marrying gays or knights will be allowed to style themselves 'The Honourable', while keeping their own surnames. "So, Sir terence's spouse Mr Stone can look forward to styling himself 'The Honourable Andrew Stone', ...unless Mr Gwynn-Jones has ruled otherwise...
