Carole Middleton is in a lather over the battle of the dishes with Donna Air

Perhaps Donna Air should consider investing in a pair of Marigold gloves the next time she visits the Middleton household.The 33-year-old Geordie TV presenter, right, has been dating Kate and Pippa’s younger brother James, 26, since February. But I am told that relations between Donna and the baking entrepreneur’s mother Carole have hit a snag – because of Donna’s reluctance to help with the washing-up. Slippery soap: Donna Air has allegedly got on the wrong side of her boyfriend James Middleton's mother Carole as she won't offer to help out after dinner   ‘The Middletons host regular Sunday lunches, which Donna has been invited to on several occasions,’ a source reveals. ‘But she never offers to help with the washing-up afterwards and Carole has started to notice. It’s become a bit of  an awkward issue.’However, Donna, who has a nine- year-old daughter, Freya, with former partner Damian Aspinall, certainly hasn’t fallen out of favour. Dishing it out: New grandmother Carole is not a fan of Donna's lack of helpShe is believed to have already been introduced to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s son George during one of her visits to the Middleton pile in Berkshire. Not bad when you consider that the Duke of Edinburgh still hasn’t met his young great-grandson.The Duke and Duchess  of Cambridge are set to break another Royal tradition, this time by releasing candid photos of their son in place  of an official portrait. The pictures, due to be revealed tomorrow, were taken by a member of the Middleton family at their Berkshire home.‘Kate and William feel photographs taken by members of the Prince’s family will be more natural and better convey a sense of family spirit,’ says  a Palace insider. ‘These will be more intimate than any taken by a celebrity photographer.’Meanwhile, William and Kate have been so inundated with messages from wellwishers around the world following George’s arrival  that they have had to hire an additional part-time member  of staff.‘An extra mail man has been taken on to deal with all the post,’ says a Royal source. ‘He is helping to reply to those people who have kindly taken the time to write in and congratulate the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.var vglnk = { api_url: '//api.viglink.com/api', key: 'a187ca0f52aa99eb8b5c172d5d93c05b' };
