TALK OF THE TOWN: Jemima Khan’s cheeky Alsatian Brian snaffles the lunch of one of her friends

TALK OF THE TOWN: Jemima Khan’s cheeky white Alsatian Brian steals her friend’s lunch as they stop to chat in London

As the daughter of a billionaire financier, you would hope Jemima Khan is keeping her beloved pet well-fed.

But her white Alsatian, Brian, was clearly hankering for an extra snack last week – so audaciously snaffled the lunch of one of Jemima’s pals as they chatted in a London park.

My pictures show the dog – named after the cartoon mutt in Family Guy – couldn’t keep his eyes off the sandwich her friend was holding… nor keep his tongue in his mouth.

And before anyone had the chance to stop him, Brian scoffed the remainder of the meal.

Petsy sticks the boot in – again

I’m not sure what’s got into Boris’s former lover Petronella Wyatt, but she’s stuck the boot into Carrie – again. 

Last week, waspish journalist Petsy told me Carrie’s rented wedding dress made her look like a ‘human sacrifice’ – and now she has criticised the Prime Minister’s wife’s appearance at the G7 summit in Cornwall by tweeting: ‘Poor Carrie. Jackie she ain’t. 

‘Big women should not wear patterned dresses.’

And there was me thinking Carrie looked svelte and elegant…

If you think Wimbledon is posh, wait until you see the Chipping Norton set in action. 

The great and the good gathered yesterday for the Barrington Cup, Britain’s most exclusive tennis contest. 

It featured the likes of David Cameron, media chief Rebekah Brooks, Tory co-chairman Ben Elliot, TV presenter and Prime Ministerial sibling Rachel Johnson and Prince William’s best pal Hugh van Cutsem – all hosted by Chipping Norton’s unofficial ‘Minister of Fun’ Johnny Hornby, chairman of Prince Harry’s Sentebale charity. 

Clearly, if you want to mix in the highest echelons in the land, start taking tennis lessons!
