The Daily Mail's diary column reports that Ned Donovan, the 32-year-old grandson of author Roald Dahl, has divorced Princess Raiyah of Jordan, whom he married in 2020, and has quickly remarried. His new wife is American TikToker Megan Tomlin, with the couple wedding last week at St Margaret's Church in Babington, Somerset. The item is notable for the unexpected turn from a royal "fairy-tale" match to a new marriage with a US social media personality.

Ned, a former journalist who now works as a US police officer, married Princess Raiyah, the youngest daughter of the late King Hussein and Queen Noor, during a Covid lockdown. Guests at his new wedding included his half-sister, model and writer Sophie Dahl, and his godfather Sir Nicholas Coleridge. Friends say Ned has "had a tough time": his father, City figure Patrick Donovan, died of cancer in 2021, and in 2024 Ned was assaulted by a gang near the Palace of Westminster after stopping a pickpocket while serving as a Special Constable, with bystanders filming rather than helping. He and Megan now live in Charleston.
