Born diplomat
Relations between the Prince of Wales and 10 Downing Street are usually less than cordial, but the hunting bill the government is trying to ban hunting while Prince Charles is a passionate supporter of the sport means their interaction is at its frostiest. So it takes an unusal woman to be friends with both camps. Pinky Lilani, the redoubtable figure behind the Asian Women of Achievement Awards, has not only received invitations to Price Charles' Highgrove home but is known to be good friends with Cherie Blair. The UN should be knocking on Pinky's door.
