Standards are slipping at the swanky West London club where the Princess of Wales and her children play tennis.
I can reveal that courts at The Hurlingham, have been taken over by foul-mouthed younger members who unleash four-letter salvos when they lose a point.
‘Older members keep telling them off,’ says my source. ‘They are outraged.’ It’s certainly not words that George, Charlotte and Louis ought to be hearing.
Members are also up in arms about plans to replace the club’s beloved dining room with a ‘naff bistro’.
The club, which has a pigeon for its crest, seeks members’ suggestions for its name. ‘The Pigeon Dropping?’ said one.

He attended Eton, and lives in a castle after marrying aristocrat Catherine Fitzgerald – but actor Dominic West insists he’s not posh, saying: ‘It’s all relative, isn’t it?’

Poor Ellen DeGeneres. Ever since the former talk show host left the US for the Cotswolds, she and wife Portia De Rossi have faced one problem after another.

Good tidings reach me from Eton College with news that headmaster Simon Henderson will return after a prolonged absence.
In August, ‘Trendy Hendy’, who has been accused of turning the prestigious school woke, announced he would be taking leave, citing ill health. Rumours began to swirl that he might never return. But now I can reveal Henderson will be back after Christmas.
Piers Morgan can’t wait for his pal Donald Trump to move back into the White House – so he can be invited into his inner circle.
‘I wanna be part of the broligarchy,’ says Piers as he was named Santa Rita Boisdale Cigar Smoker of the Year, referring to the likes of Elon Musk and podcaster Joe Rogan.

Actress Rebel Wilson may be ensconced in a high-profile court drama in Los Angeles but she can still count on chums such as make-up guru Charlotte Tilbury on this side of the Atlantic.
The pair, left, took to the red carpet at the British Fashion Awards last week, with Charlotte describing the Aussie star as a ‘dream date’.
In California, Rebel is facing a multi-million-dollar defamation case over claims that she made about the producers of her film The Deb, which premiered at the Toronto film festival in September.
