Polo In The Park is supposed to be a spot of posh summer fun – but try telling that to socialite Tigerlily Taylor whose car was towed because of parking restrictions near the event.
Tigerlily, 31, the daughter of Queen drummer Roger Taylor, was seething and claimed she had been given no warning of the parking changes before last weekend's event.
'Apparently, I'm not allowed to park on my own road because Hammersmith and Fulham have rented out the road to people going to polo,' vented the founder of the aptly named nail brand Claws.
The annual match, held at the park beside private members' club The Hurlingham, is a honeypot for the Made In Chelsea and red chino brigade. It girl Tigerlily, however, is not a fan.
'I live here and they have towed my car away and given me a ticket because I was parked outside my own house,' she moans.
'They've given this road to whoever is at the polo so none of the residents are allowed to park outside their own houses. Is that not the most ridiculous thing ever?
'Hammersmith and Fulham is the worst council I've dealt with. Terrible. No communication.'
However, some of Tigerlily's neighbours tell me a different story. One resident says there is a two-month build-up to the event, and multiple leaflets are posted through the doors of affected houses to warn of parking changes.

'I've not heard of anyone being towed before. It's a bit stupid for someone to leave their car there,' says my source.
'It's been going on for five years now, so the residents know what to do. I always move my car on polo day. The council are pretty active with talking, sending emails and putting things through the door.'
The council also charges up to £280 for the courtesy of towing a car, so it is hardly surprising Tigerlily felt the need to vent…
Callum's naked bid to play 007
Is there no end to Callum Turner’s cheekiness?
Last week the actor – tipped to become the new James Bond – was spotted playfully patting his new wife Dua Lipa’s bottom before their wedding party in Sicily.
Now I hear Callum has been raising temperatures at the exclusive Soho Health Club where he enjoys the sauna... in the nude.

Meet the utterly fabulous four...
They look like they could be the latest girl group – but this quartet of socialites were actually helping to launch an upmarket jewellery range last week.
Identical twins Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia Spencer – daughters of Earl Spencer and nieces of the late Princess Diana – joined Lady Mary Charteris, and hotel heiress Nicky Hilton for a sneak preview of the latest designs from the latter’s Theo Grace brand at the Alice + Olivia boutique in Mayfair.
Later, Lady Mary got behind the DJ decks to keep the party going. What a rebel MC!

A coup for Idris
Idris Elba‘s daughter Isan was so proud as he was knighted by the King she couldn’t resist flouting Windsor Castle’s ‘no filming’ rule.
‘I’m not supposed to record this but yolo [you only live once],’ model Isan, 24, told her Instagram followers, adding: ‘I’m making history being the first to vlog a knighting.’
I’m surprised she smuggled in her camera. ‘Security was insane,’ she revealed.

Good to see seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams back in action at Queen’s Club and I can reveal she practised her groundstrokes before the tournament at Princess Diana’s old haunt, the Harbour Club in Chelsea.

The mother of socialite Lola Bute isn’t flavour of the month with her Notting Hill neighbours after submitting plans to add an extension to her home – and pass it off as a shed.
Locals have strongly objected to the papers lodged by Lady Serena Bute, widow of racing driver Johnny Dumfries, saying: ‘Justifying this structure as a garden shed is odd when there is already a much larger garden shed.’ It could be back to the drawing board, Lady Serena…
