QuotePeter Phillips, the Queen's eldest grandchild, has been hired by the Chinese authorities to launch a horse racing industry to rival Britain's.

Mr Phillips flew to Beijing last week for the official unveiling of the China Jockey Club, which will run the country's nascent racing industry.

In exchange for his role as the China Jockey's Club's official global ambassador, Mr Phillips is to be reimbursed with shares in the venture.

If the Chinese horse racing industry takes off – as it is expected to do, since it has the backing of the ruling Communist Party – Mr Phillips could find himself lauded as the most astute entrepreneur in the Royal family.

"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'."
