EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Cheryl Cole’s name stripped from royal youth centre she raised £1million for

When King Charles visited the youth center that Cheryl Cole founded in her hometown of Newcastle in 2021, the pop star declared it an ‘incredibly special’ day.
Fans may be shocked to learn that her name has now been significantly removed from Cheryl’s Trust Center.
The Girls Aloud singer raised £1 million towards the cost of the unit, which she officially opened in 2018 in collaboration with the royal charity the Prince’s Trust, which became the King’s Trust after she ascended to the throne.
During his visit, the King thanked him for his ‘energy and enthusiasm’ in helping to establish the center and raise funds through the Cheryl Cole Foundation to support disadvantaged young people.
However, earlier this year the sign reading ‘Prince’s Trust Cheryl’s Trust Center’ was removed. It was replaced with a sign that simply read ‘The King’s Trust’. A fan of the Geordie star told me: ‘It’s so sad. “He was the driving force behind it.”
At the height of the X-Factor judge’s fame, the King was said to have viewed Cheryl, who grew up on a tough council estate, as a useful ally who would boost his popularity. He even appointed his long-term mentor Kristina Kyriacou as head of PR for his sprawling charity empire.

Cheryl first met the King at the Prince’s Trust gala dinner in 2012. He later had tea with her at Clarence House.
After a hugely successful pop and television career that earned her a multi-million pound fortune, Cheryl has kept a low profile since giving birth to eight-year-old Bear with then-boyfriend Liam Payne. Last year, One Direction singer Liam died when he fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina at the age of 31. He left a fortune of £28.6 million, and after he died without a will, Cheryl was appointed administrator.
Cheryl is legally responsible for managing the estate of their son, Bear, who is the legal heir.
A royal source insists ‘the center has been temporarily named after Cheryl’s Trust’. They add: ‘When the charity officially changed its name from the Prince’s Trust to the King’s Trust this year, it was a natural moment to change the centre’s name and signage too.’
A spokesperson says: ‘Cheryl remains a highly valued Ambassador for the King’s Trust.’

How did he drive Alan Cumming into a corner?
Stage and screen star Alan Cumming has discovered that running Scottish theater is not what he expected when he took on the role last year.
The 60-year-old Cabaret actor revealed he gave up his £75,000 salary as artistic director of Pitlochry Festival Theater because he faced ‘backlash’ and a mountain of confusing form filling.
‘It was mostly bureaucracy,’ he says. ‘Someone joked it would be all about the toilets. “Come on!” I said. Yes, it was. The toilets were being renovated so we couldn’t use the main house. ‘For the first five months it was a matter of when these bloody toilets would be ready.’
Alan, who lives between New York and Scotland, adds: ‘There are certain systems that have been around for generations and people are shocked when someone comes along and says, ‘Oh, I’m not doing that.’ I noticed some backlash and some sort of blocking. I don’t deal with negativity very well.
‘I’ve found a way to do this now; From now on I’m volunteering, so I can do everything I’m doing now… but I don’t have to deal with the boring stuff.’
