Friends of Jemima Khan claim she has been frozen out of the royal wedding after she made a comment about Kate Middleton's figure.

Socialite Jemima (37), who was a friend of Princess Diana, had tweeted: "Kate Middleton those are not heir-bearing hips, are they? Unfeasibly narrow."



Jemima insisted she meant it as a compliment. But friends believe she is not one of the 1,900 guests invited to Kate and Prince William's April 29 wedding - and the hips comment is to blame.

A source said, "Apparently, Jemima is friendly with the princes and would otherwise have confidently expected an invitation."

Jemima later withdrew part of the comment, made three months ago. She said: "I wasn't being unkind. Wouldn't every girl like to have unfeasibly narrow hips? Who wants to be described as having child-bearing ones?"

Jemima erased the tweet, adding, "There - deleted the 'unfeasibly' as what I meant is she's v trim and lovely."

Buckingham Palace refused to confirm whether Jemima would be among the wedding guests at Westminster Abbey in April.

Stag party at sea

According to reports, Prince Harry has planned a wet stag party for his brother a day of extreme watersports.

"The royal groom-to-be and 20 pals will enjoy a day of off-shore thrills and spills, racing speed-boats and water-skiing, said a report.

Facilities of a specialist watersports firm has been booked for three separate weekends. Alcohol is not permitted during the activities, but the day's high-energy action will be followed by a pub crawl by boat.
