...back west to the Åpent Bakeri. Tucked away behind the Royal Palace, on an anonymous side street aptly called Inkognito Terrasse, the bakery is marked by the long line snaking out the door - a cross-section of Oslo that, on my visit, included an elderly matron in a fur hat, a painter in splattered coveralls and young fashionistas. Most offerings, like the crusty walnut bread (delicious even without butter), are French, but the methods are artisanal Norwegian.

Walter Bagehot, the great 19th century hack, once said: "Above all things our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence...
...Mirror. They managed to procure a statement Burrell had prepared for his lawyers' eyes only - the lawyers say it must have been stolen - full of salacious details: Diana once greeted her lover Hasnat Khan, a heart surgeon, at Kensington Palace stark naked except for diamond earrings and a fur coat; she liked to buy pregnancy tests as a joke; Burrell sneaked her lovers into the palace in the trunk of his car and gave them breakfast after she had left. The Sun dubbed him the "Blabbermouth Butler." But since he had always intended to keep this information secret, a court...
