A new biography of the woman who might one day be Queen discloses that her great-great-great grandfather was a prisoner.

An entry in the 1881 census shows that Edward Thomas Glassborow, an ancestor of Miss Middleton's father, Michael, was listed as an inmate at Holloway Prison in London.

Not that he isn't a vain man, one for whom reputation, respect and standing matter little. Quite the contrary. Adams is very proud of his notoriety among his local, north London community: what he has spent a lifetime avoiding is public recognition. No longer. This morning, Adams, the godfather behind a £200 million business built on murder, drugs and money-laundering, whose catch-phrase is "give him a slap", will wake up in Belmarsh, south London's high security prison, after admitting a five-year conspiracy to hide £1 million. While he was handed a 14-y...
