To the office at 5pm, supposedly to study the New Year's Honours list. It was a waste of time and a boring list. Peerages for a McAlpine and the boss of Marks & Sparks, and a knighthood for John Sainsbury. Margaret Thatcher does her shopping there no doubt. Cliff Richard is OBE. Dick Hern, the Queen's racehorse trainer is CVO, and so is Sir Ian Moncreiffe of that Ilk. I am disappointed that no hereditary peerages have been created because the prime minister has hinted at the imminent revival of such honours. The only hereditary element I can foresee in the future are the peerages given to members of the Royal family. Prince Andrew will be Duke of York and Prince Edward will be Duke of Sussex, or in the event of the death of the Marquess of Cambridge, the dukedom of Cambridge could be revived. Prince Edward's great-great-great grandfather was Duke of Cambridge.
Home at 11. Read Charles Prince of Wales for a couple of hours.
