Blur’s Alex James parties with royalty at Buckingham Palace

Back in the Nineties he was more used to partying with the Primrose Hill Set at the Met Bar, but now Blur bass player Alex James leads a much quieter existence, and saves his nights out for dinner with royalty at Buckingham Palace.

According to The Telegraph, the Duke of York recently hosted a typically lavish ‘thank-you’ banquet at Buckingham Palace on behalf of Goldsmiths College, who counted Princess Beatrice as one of its graduates last summer, and James was in attendance as a former student of the college.

“I got to go to the palace and see Beatrice, which was brilliant,” James is quoted as saying. “It was a great night – a lot of fun and good food. I feel really connected with the university still.”

James will re-connect with his rock n roll self this summer when Blur headline a Hype Park concert being held to celebrate the end of the London Olympics. They will warm-up for the show with four low-key UK gigs in August.
