I can exclusively reveal that a relative of King Charles, Princess Olga Romanoff, will take part in new E4 series The Big Celebrity Detox.

King Charles when he was Prince Charles, in the upcoming fifth series of Netflix hit The Crown, has spoken out against the treatment of Camilla shortly after a private conversation between her and the King emerged back in 1993. Known as “Tampon gate” the actor declared to the Radio Times that one of the reasons why the Queen Consort was treated so badly was due to her being a woman.Amid declaring his support for the monarchy, Dominic commented: “I never really thought about it at the time, but the research showed me how badly Camilla was treated.“I don’t think that would happen today.

The TV star added: “Our monarch understands the problem, cares about it passionately, and will have more impact on creating action from governments around the world than any member of parliament will.”King Charles is currently set to follow Rishi’s advice that he should skip the event, although the Environment Secretary, Thérèse Coffey, suggested on Thursday that it was up to the monarch if he attended the conference.Former Prime Minister Liz Truss had originally advised His Majesty to stay away from the conference because she wanted to use his first foreign trip for diplomatic leverage with nations such as Canada. A Downing Street spokeswoman confirmed on Thursday that the government had advised the monarch to stay away from the summit.She said: “As is standard practice, government advice was sought and provided under a previous PM, and it was unanimously agreed it would not be the right occasion for the King to visit.”Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called on Rishi to “show leadership” by attending the event to promote unity among world leaders.He said: "Many people would be expecting a prime minister of the UK not just to attend but to use it as an opportunity to pull world leaders together to deal with climate.”Rishi said last week that he believed it was “right” to instead focus on the UK economy before Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s autumn Budget on November 17.On a visit to Croydon University Hospital, in south London, he said: “The leadership that we have shown on the climate is unmatched almost along the world.“It’s important to me that we leave behind an environment that is better for our children and grandchildren.”The PM continued: “I’m personally committed to it.“I just think, at the moment, it’s right that I’m
