'We'll use King's Honours to keep battling for our Glasgow community'
Anne and Stuart McKenzie, who have volunteered at Nan McKay Hall for more than 46 years, said the experience has been 'overwhelming.' Hall manager Bill Lawns and the rest of the team threw a party for the couple in recognition of their awards, and Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren paid a surprise visit to congratulate them. The McKenzies with Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren (Image: GordonTerris/Newsquest) 'It's very humbling because we don't see ourselves as any different from anyone else here at the hall,' said Anne. 'It's been lovely – we're just very taken aback. We do this because it's just what we do.' She added: 'What's great is that it allows us to raise awareness of the Nan McKay Hall and all the work that goes on here.' Anne preparing for lunch club with Eleanor Wilson (Image: Colin Mearns/Newsquest) More than 300 people attend around 27 activities at the hall each week. 'It's always a battle for funding," says Stuart. "At times we've had to fight our socks off for this place, so if these awards can throw a bit of light on us, and maybe help us get a new hall and better facilities so we can keep helping people, then that will be a good thing." Anne and Stuart were awarded the BEM (British Empire Medal) in the New Year's Honours list for 'four decades of selfless service and commitment to improve the lives and life chances of generations of Glaswegians.' The couple are part of the Nan McKay Hall management committee, and have run an assortment of activities and events over the years including a youth club, keep fit classes and lunch club. Stuart is the hall's handyman, and the husband and wife have also developed a range of health services in recognition of the lack of local provision. Anne and Stuart McKenzie (Image: Newsquest) The couple, who now live in Cardonald, juggled full-time working and raising their family – sons Greig and Mark – with their roles at Nan McKay Hall. 'This is definitely our second home,' says Anne, smiling. 'I can still remember the first day we came in here, to help give out free bags of messages to local people who were struggling. 'It was the early 80s. The services provided have changed and grown with the community, and what they need.' She pauses. 'I remember a councillor once described us as 'just a bingo hall' ,' adds Ann, frowning. 'She couldn't have been more wrong. 'That's why the awards are good because it means we can tell people what we do here and why it's important.' Stuart explains that he and Anne see the British Empire Medals as 'everyone's awards'. 'They are for the hall, for the rest of the committee and manager Bill Lawns, who is amazing,' he says. 'We're not like some other community committees – we don't fight amongst ourselves, we've all got our roles to do and we do them. 'We've helped many people over the years – some who say without the Nan McKay Hall, they wouldn't be here.' He adds: 'Some people say this is a magical place, and we'd definitely agree with that.'

Prince Harry labelled 'extremely disloyal' to family and may not be forgiven by key Royal
A Royal commentator recently claimed that Harry should have reached out to one major player in the family. Speculation about potential peace negotiations between Prince Harry and King Charles has intensified following reports that senior advisers to both royals were seen at a London meeting. And a Royal commentator has offered their perspective on suggestions that one prominent Royal could heal the family divide. Earlier this week, a Royal source suggested that Harry ought to have turned to his aunt, Princess Anne, during the difficult period that ultimately saw Harry and Meghan step back from Royal duties and move to California. The source, described as a confidant of the princess who similarly lived in the shadow of her brother King Charles, revealed these thoughts emerged following the publication of Prince Harry's explosive memoir Spare. However, despite the source's convictions, former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond reckons it's now too late for the Duke of Sussex to seek counsel from the Princess Royal or rely on her to repair the fractured bond between himself and his father. Speaking exclusively to our sister title the Mirror, Ms Bond claimed Harry had been "extremely disloyal" to the Firm, which wouldn't be looked on well by Anne. The source reportedly told the Sunday Times: "He really ought to talk to Princess Anne. She often talked about how, as children, she was treated so differently from Charles. "She was second to him and kicked further down the line of succession as a woman, but she forged her own path. In her twenties, she was bolshy and upset about a lot of things, but she came through that. "He should talk to her about her experiences. She is shrewd. She could tell him a lot about what she went through." However, Jennie suggests that the opportunity for Anne to offer Harry guidance - both on managing life as a 'spare' and mending his fractured ties with the Royal family - may now have slipped away. Ms Bond said: "Yes, Anne would have been the perfect person to offer advice and guidance, but sadly, this is no longer relevant as Harry has made it quite clear that he has no desire to return to life as a working royal. "She could have told her nephew that 'playing second fiddle' is the wrong way to look at his status. Instead, as she has shown, the second born can be an invaluable support to the institution of monarchy, and a vital friend, confidant and wingman/woman to the monarch. "She could have explained that they are a team, a firm, working together to keep the monarchy relevant and using their platform to help charities and communities." Ms Bond further suggested that Anne might be reluctant to wade into the ongoing tensions between Harry and Charles, whilst also questioning whether the Princess Royal fully grasps the depth of the family divide. She said: "It may be that the King has discussed his family troubles with Anne, but I rather doubt that she would want to get involved. To Anne, loyalty is paramount, and I suspect she feels that Harry has been extremely disloyal to his father, his brother and the monarchy. She might well find that hard to forgive." Speculation about a possible Royal rapprochement began to circulate earlier this month following a meeting between Harry's chief communications officer and Liam Maguire, who oversees Harry and Meghan's UK public relations, with the King's communications secretary Tobyn Andreae. The rendezvous took place at the Royal Over-Seas League, a private members' club conveniently located near Clarence House, which is Charles' London home. The initiator of the meeting remains unknown, but insiders have characterised the encounter as laid-back, with casual drinks aimed at establishing a line of dialogue between the two parties.

Prince Harry's devastating loss in royal rift exposed as Meghan 'holds the cards'
Prince Harry's bitter rift with his family has left him with a devastated loss, according to a royal expert, who claims the Duke of Sussex has lost the support of one key royal A Royal expert has suggested that Prince Harry's ongoing feud with his Royal relatives, particularly his father King Charles and brother Prince William, has highlighted a devastating loss for the Duke of Sussex. The Duke has been at odds with his family, reportedly no longer on speaking terms with them. The dispute was intensified by Harry's revealing memoir, 'Spare', in which he criticised his father and brother and shared his experiences of feeling overshadowed by William, who is now the heir to the throne and future King. Princess Anne, known for her dedicated service to the monarchy, has also found herself second behind her brother, the King. Recent reports have proposed that Harry could have benefited from seeking advice from his aunt about being the 'spare'. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that Princess Anne could have shown Harry what he has lost by stepping away from Royal duties. Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "Yes, Anne would have been the perfect person to offer advice and guidance, but, sadly, this is no longer relevant as Harry has made it quite clear that he has no desire to return to life as a working royal." She added: "She could have told her nephew that 'playing second fiddle' is the wrong way to look at his status. Instead, as she has shown, the second-born can be an invaluable support to the institution of monarchy, and a vital friend, confidant and wingman/woman to the monarch.", reports the Mirror. "She could have explained that they are a team - a firm - working together to keep the monarchy relevant and using their platform to help charities and communities." However, with Harry disclosing earlier this year that the King is no longer in contact with him, Jennie doesn't think that the Princess Royal would wish to become involved in any potential peace negotiations. She said: "It may be that the King has discussed his family troubles with Anne, but I rather doubt that she would want to get involved. "To Anne, loyalty is paramount, and I suspect she feels that Harry has been extremely disloyal to his father, his brother and the monarchy. She might well find that hard to forgive." Meanwhile, reports have also indicated that Harry and wife, Meghan Markle, have suffered a setback regarding their multi-million pound Netflix agreement. The Sussexes are understood to have secured a five-year contract worth approximately $100million in September 2020 with the streaming service to create various content. Nevertheless, aside from their initial project - their contentious documentary series Harry and Meghan - their subsequent programmes on the platform haven't replicated its popularity. Sources have now claimed the Netflix agreement won't be extended when it concludes, with one insider telling PEOPLE magazine it represents a wider change in the streamer's commercial approach. Jennie reckons this development could also prove more challenging for Harry, particularly regarding potentially filling the shortfall in their income. She further commented: "Securing a five-year contract was quite an achievement - and was undoubtedly extremely lucrative. For most people, that sort of money would set them up for life. "But Montecito is luxurious and expensive. So they will have to find other streams of income. That's going to be harder for Harry than Meghan, who has every chance of making a lot of money as an influencer."
