Dropping through the letterboxes at Buckingham Palace and Gatcombe Park shortly will be a wedding invitation from Prince Philip’s former equerry Lt Col Richard Maundrell, a Grenadier Guards officer.
Richard, 47, known as Tricky to pals, has proposed to Scots beauty Lucy Cameron of Lochiel, 32.
She is a goddaughter of Princess Anne and works for a specialist travel company for Chinese tourists, after spending three years there.
Lucy’s sister, Catherine, was a bridesmaid at Prince Charles’s marriage to Lady Diana Spencer and Richard worked at the Duke of Edinburgh’s right hand for three years until 2009.
Says a friend: ‘He is tall and handsome and will leave a lot of broken hearts behind.’
A popular figure in the Royal Household, Maundrell, then a mere major, was invited to spend summers at Balmoral where he became a dab hand at barbecuing.
Adds the pal: ‘Despite his nickname, he isn’t the least bit tricky.’
