‘Thomas and Missy had the best day of their lives’ Duchess of Northumberland The Duchess of Cambridge’s absence aside, it was almost like turning the clock back two years – with princes and princesses in attendance along with the same inner circle of wealthy and well-connected friends It was just like a magical rerun of the royal wedding but this time the Duke of Cambridge had only a walk-on part as best man at the wedding of his close friend Thomas van Straubenzee and Lady Melissa Percy, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland’s youngest daughter. The Duchess of Cambridge, whose baby is due in a matter of weeks, didn’t make the long journey to Northumberland but stayed close to her parents’ home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, going shopping for antiques in…

Tennis fans had a ball at Wimbledon last week – and nowhere more so than in the royal box. With the heavily pregnant Duchess of Cambridge out of the limelight, it was left to her family to occupy Centre Court’s best seats. First it was the turn of Kate’s siblings Pippa and James Middleton, who helped cheer British star Andy Murray to victory on the opening day. Pippa, wearing a pale-blue Sandro dress and matching jacket, chatted to the well-known faces around her, including former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and actress Felicity Kendal. Two days later it was the turn of Kate’s parents to join in the fun, with the pair at one point competing with double Olympic champion Mo Farah in…

Jetting into Los Angeles two days before her 30th birthday, Cheryl Cole was all smiles at the prospect of toasting her milestone day in the Californian sunshine with, no doubt, her dancer beau Tre Holloway. The couple, who have been dating for nearly a year, are reportedly planning on moving in together and are house-hunting across the Pond. The £1.4million profits that one of her four businesses, CC Entertainments Limited, has reportedly made will come in handy. The pop star celebrated her birthday last year with a big bash in Las Vegas with friends including Black Eyed Peas frontman and The Voice judge Will.i.am and former Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts. This year, however, she’s been keeping her party plans under wrap, giving nothing away on Twitter…

Presenter Eamonn Holmes’s face lights up as his wife Ruth Langsford sashays into the room, her womanly size 12 curves encased in a figure-hugging dress that clings like a second skin. “You look fantastic,” he smiles as TV’s popular husband and wife team park themselves on the enormous leather sofa that dominates the room. There’s a significance to the sofa. Last week, the couple, who are both 53, celebrated their third wedding anniversary. According to tradition, the third year of marital bliss marks a husband and wife’s leather anniversary and originally HELLO! had toyed with the idea of persuading Eamonn to don a bit of old animal hide for our photoshoot. “Chance would be a fine thing,” scoffs the Belfast-born host of the Sky News breakfast show Sunrise. “Can you…

Love was in the air as the great and the good descended on leafy Windsor for one of the biggest social events of the summer calendar. Not even a downpour of rain could dampen spirits at the annual White Tie and Tiara Ball hosted by Sir Elton John and David Furnish in the grounds of their beautiful home. Always a hotly anticipated, glittering affair, last week’s ball, exclusively covered by HELLO!, was no exception as the worlds of royalty and showbusiness, art and industry came together for a good cause and to embrace the night’s theme of LOVE. Uma Thurman, Freida Pinto, Elizabeth Hurley, Sarah, Duchess of York, David Walliams and Tracey Emin were just some of the big names to enjoy the star-studded event, the highlight of which was…

NOW STUDYING AT THE SORBONNE TIPPI, THE REAL-LIFE MOWGLI LOOKS BACK AT HER INCREDIBLE CHILDHOOD In 1996, HELLO! published a report on five-year-old Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, who grew up in southern Africa with elephants and leopards as her closest friends. Now 23 and studying cinema at the Sorbonne, the girl they dubbed Mowgli has given us a privileged insight into her unique childhood with a book called Tippi: My Book of Africa, which shows in heartwarming detail how the dunes and velds of Africa became her playground for the first ten years of her life. Born in Namibia, Tippi travelled with her French parents, wildlife-documentary-makers Sylvie Robert and Alain Degré, to Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, where her playmates were orphaned animals as well as the local children. According…

Keep out of the sun at midday; wear a minimum SPF15; apply it regularly and evenly. These are the golden rules of sun protection, but with such a wealth of lotions, sprays, oils and creams out there, the choice can be overwhelming – especially as they are not all intended to do the same job. Some are formulated super-sheer to wear on your face, others super-slick and shiny for legs and arms, and some are multipurpose, designed for hair and skin. Choosing the right one will ensure you not only stay safe but also look great, and avoid getting all hot and bothered. Follow our three-step guide to the best summer sun solutions...…

Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, jet lag can put a real downer on any long-distance travel plans. Some people can shrug off their symptoms in days but for others an out-of-kilter body clock spells disorientation, poor hand-eye coordination, fatigue, lack of energy, nausea, aching joints, irrationality and insomnia, making it hard to get into the holiday spirit or perform at your best at work. Jet lag is the common term for a medical condition called circadian dischronism. The name refers to your circadian rhythm or natural pattern of sleeping and waking, which is determined by your internal body clock and the amount of daylight. Crossing different time zones in a matter of hours (as you do on a long-distance flight) means your body has no time to…

Here’s a timely reminder for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. When royal photographer Kent Gavin was given the order of service for the official christening photographs of William – which took place on the Queen Mother’s 82nd birthday – he noticed they hadn’t planned for one of the great-grandmother holding the baby. “I broke ranks and went up to the Queen and said, ‘Excuse me, Ma’am, but there’s one very important picture missing.’ When I told her, she said, ‘Oh my goodness, how did we miss that?’” The photograph was duly taken. As we await news of the birth of Kate and William’s first child, this fascinating four-part documentary by award-winning film-maker Don Letts on the work of royal photo-journalist Kent is a treat. “I’ve seen this family up…

1 EXHIBITION FASHION RULES If you’ve ever wanted to step inside a royal wardrobe, this is your chance. A wonderful collection of couture dresses worn by the Queen, Princess Margaret and the Princess of Wales has been brought together, some on loan from overseas collectors, at Kensington Palace, London, for Fashion Rules, celebrating more than 60 years of royal fashion. A big attraction will be the Diana dresses, such as a Catherine Walker dress, worn on a visit to Brazil in 1991, and a black velvet evening dress by Bruce Oldfield, both bought back after being auctioned for charity. A kaftan worn by Margaret in Mustique in the 1970s is on show, along with an apricot silk evening dress, thought to have been designed by Sir Norman Hartnell, and worn…

The christening of Petra Ecclestone’s daughter Lavinia provided the perfect excuse for another family gathering, just ten days after the lavish South of France nuptials of her sister Tamara. The 24-year-old heiress and her businessman husband James Stunt looked every inch the proud parents as they carefully carried their daughter – their first child – into St Peter’s Eaton Square in London for the midday ceremony. Looking equally proud was Tamara, who travelled to London with her new husband Jay Rutland after their honeymoon on a private yacht along the French Riviera. ALL WHITE The Ecclestone sisters and their mother Slavica wore white for the christening, with their father, Formula 1 boss Bernie, and the other men in the party choosing to wear dark suits. Following the service, the Ecclestone…

THE QUEEN REFUSES TO LET HER GUARDS DOWN The Queen was seeing red when she made a special inspection of the Grenadier Guards in the gardens of Buckingham Palace last week. Surrounded by a sea of scarlet, she opted for a standout teal coat over a lime-green floral-print dress and took her place amid the soldiers for a photo (left). The Queen is colonel-in-chief of Queen’s Company, Grenadier Guards and inspects them every ten years. On this occasion she also took the chance to present new colours to separate battalion Nijmegen Company and celebrate the centenary of the Guards with a garden party. In a ceremony watched by their families and friends, Guardsmen were praised by the Queen for serving with “great distinction” over the past ten years in Bosnia,…

FABRICE MUAMBA Former footballer has second son Ex-Bolton Wanderers footballer Fabrice Muamba became a dad again last week, after wife Shauna gave birth to a boy, named Matthew Josiah. The new arrival, a little brother for their four-year-old son Joshua, weighed in at 7lb 15oz when he was born in a Macclesfield hospital. “Mother and baby are both doing well,” tweeted the 25-year-old, who was famously declared dead on the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest during a football match last year. The news comes eight months after the midfielder wed Shauna in a beautiful ceremony in Cheshire, covered exclusively by HELLO!.

AN EMOTIONAL GOODBYE TO JAMES GANDOLFINI There was barely a dry eye in Manhattan’s Cathedral Church of St John the Divine as friends and family said goodbye to Sopranos star James Gandolfini, who died last week aged 51. Among the mourners were his fellow actors Julianna Margulies, and Chris Noth (below), and Steve Buscemi (below right). CROWDS GATHER TO PRAY FOR NELSON MANDELA Crowds of well-wishers hold all-night prayer vigils outside Nelson Mandela’s former home in Soweto (left) and in Cape Town (above) as the 94-year-old enters his fourth week in hospital with a lung infection. In Soweto children also released 94 balloons into the air, one for every year of the beloved former South African president’s life. President Obama, who was in Africa last week, was among those sending…

‘I spend every day with Louis. By the end of the day you’re exhausted and yet it’s been the best day ever’ It is a sweltering Sunday afternoon in New York, but Sandra Bullock, in town for the premiere of her new movie, The Heat, looks cool as a cucumber and effortlessly stylish in a light-as-a-feather ankle-length printed dress by Etro, her feet encased in chic strappy sandals by Bottega Veneta, her glossy dark hair hanging loose over her shoulders. Not to put too fine a point on it, she looks a million dollars. “Thank you,” she smiles, accepting the compliment. “Dressing like this is a treat for me these days. I love fashion and I love the feeling you get when you go, ‘Oh! I love this dress!’ But…

STILL FIRM FRIENDS WITH EX-WIFE VANESSA JOHNNY DEPP TELLS WHY TURNING 50 IS NO BIG DEAL WITH HIS PARTYING DAYS BEHIND HIM Last month, Johnny Depp turned 50. “We kept it simple,” he says, looking relaxed and a good decade younger than his years. “I spent the day with my kids and then we went out to dinner. “I could never get much into celebrating birthdays anyway. Okay, it means I’ve lived another decade – cool. But it really wasn’t so different from my 40th or even my 30th. It wasn’t like I woke up on my birthday suddenly going, ‘My back is killing me!’” So there won’t be any midlife crisis? “That’s when these philosophical questions slam you in the face, right? ‘Who am I?’ ‘What am I here…

They say that moving house is one of the most stressful times in life, but if Pearl Lowe is feeling ruffled you wouldn’t know it. As the singer-turned-designer ushers us through the doorway of her new home, a charming grade II-listed rectory in the heart of Somerset, she couldn’t seem calmer or more collected despite only moving in just a fortnight ago. “It has actually gone remarkably smoothly,” she says as she sets about making coffee in her kitchen. “Of course, there have been a few hiccups along the way, but given that we only took possession of the house two months ago and the work we’ve had to do, we’ve been extremely lucky. But then I suppose we’ve had a lot of practice. ‘I’ve promised the children this is…

When it comes to nails, this summer you really do have a world of self-expression at your fingertips. The latest polishes include art pens, stick-on gems and texturised finishes that will help you become your very own nail artist and stay bang on trend. “Nail art is very popular this season, but I think with a more ‘polished’ look and painted on to the more feminine, almond-shaped nails,” says top UK nail artist Rebecca Jade Wilson, whose celebrity fanbase includes Rita Ora, Kate Hudson and Lana Del Rey. “Textures are also key. My favourites by far are the Colourfoil nails from Ciaté – they are so simple to do yet are very effective. I recently used them on Lana Del Rey to create a subtle nail art look.” Let your…

Heading south to take on the role of defence barrister turned Crown prosecutor Kate Barker in the new series of Law & Order: UK, actress Georgia Taylor (above) tells me she’s not taken with the wig and gown she sports in the courtroom scenes. “The first time I tried the wig on I was horrified. I thought, ‘Oh my God,’” says the Merseyside-born star. “It wasn’t so much that I looked terrible – I am not that vain – I just thought I looked a bit comedy and wasn’t sure I took myself seriously. However, within a couple of hours, and when the other barristers in court are wearing wigs, you become attached to it.” Since quitting her breakthrough role as Coronation Street’s Toyah Battersby, the 33-year-old has appeared in…

Nine years have elapsed since 17-year-old Maria Sharapova first burst onto the tennis scene with a stunning victory over Serena Williams at Wimbledon. Their intense rivalry won’t be a feature of The Championships this year – other than a spat played out in the media – as Maria was sadly knocked out in the second round last week. The Siberia-born beauty started her dazzling career after being spotted by Martina Navratilova at a Moscow tennis clinic and moved to America with her father when she was seven. She went on to become one of only six women in the modern era to win all four grand slams. Based in Florida and ranked No. 3 in the world, the statuesque blonde – when she’s not in heels she stands at 6ft…

Her trademark pout has become an integral part of her image, but last week Victoria Beckham flashed a smile not once but twice. The designer had flown to Beijing to join husband David – who was carrying out duties in his role as ambassador to China’s Football Association – and turned heads as she arrived at the airport in a yellow sleeveless coat from her new collection, blue trousers and a laser-cut bag, another of her designs. After a happy reunion, the pair made a joint appearance on China Central Television, during which Victoria seemed to be enjoying herself so much that she gave David a cheeky little smile. In a double whammy, David also posted a snap of his wife laughing on his Facebook page. “See, I told you…

‘Now the children are a bit older and our routine is settled, I feel there is something within me, urging me to try new things’ An ever so slightly dishevelled Tina Hobley opens the door of her elegant London home. “My 14-year-old daughter has been borrowing my hairbrush again,” she exclaims in mock-exasperation. “I can’t find it anywhere.” For many years we’ve become more used to seeing her in pressed uniform with her hair neatly pinned back, in her role as Ward Sister Chrissie Williams in BBC1’s Holby City. But now, after 12 years, she has revealed – in this first exclusive interview – why she has decided to leave the long-running hospital drama. “It has been a long and hard decision to make,” says the 41-year-old actress and mother…

Michael Jackson’s son Prince speaks out Michael Jackson feared that the intense rehearsals for his London shows would kill him, his son Prince, now 16, said in court last week. As the first member of the Jackson family to testify at the wrongful-death lawsuit against concert promoters AEG, he told how his dad would cry: “They’re going to kill me,” after getting off the phone from talks about his O2 comeback concerts. Michael died of a fatal anaesthetic overdose ahead of the scheduled gigs four years ago, for which his personal physician is serving a prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter. Prince recalled his father’s last moments – “Dr Murray was screaming while doing CPR” – and revealed he and siblings Paris, 15, and Blanket, nine, didn’t realise how famous their…

One room at Kensington Palace that has possibly occupied the thoughts of the parents-to-be more than any other is the nursery The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s newborn will deliver a multimillion-pound bonanza to Britain when baby memorabilia starts flying off the shelves, it was reported last week. The welcome boost to the economy comes at a time when it was also revealed that William and Kate’s new family home at Kensington Palace has cost the taxpayer £1million in renovation work to date. The bill is likely to increase as improvements to Apartment 1A, Princess Margaret’s former home, is not scheduled to finish until the autumn, when the couple plan to move in with their new baby. The latest financial accounts from Buckingham Palace, published last week, reveal that £400,000…

RUSSELL’S LOOKALIKE SONS SHOW OFF THEIR FAMILY TIES Dapper in red and blue bow ties, Charles (right) and Tennyson Crowe look like real chips off the old block as they pose proudly with their action-hero father Russell at the Australian premiere of Man of Steel. The 49-year-old actor is reported to have split from the boys’ mother, Danielle Spencer, to whom he has been married for nine years, and has been throwing himself into his work. With several films coming out this year, the New Zealand-born star was no doubt delighted for the chance to unwind with his kids.

‘I had to do something. I was 11st 5lb and hadn’t been that weight since I was pregnant’ Denise Welch used to envy the closeness of other couples, how they had someone to laugh with, a partner who was also a best friend. Now the actress and TV presenter has found exactly that with her fiancé, 40-year-old publicist Lincoln Townley. “I can spot a situation or someone coming into a room and Lincoln can be over the other side and we can just catch eyes and know exactly what we’re thinking and can’t wait to talk about it,” she says, laughing. It’s a happy turn of events for bride-to-be Denise, 55, who, with her big day approaching fast, is remarkably relaxed. So much so that when we meet she is…

Actress Uma Thurman provided the biggest thrill at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, opting for screen goddess glamour in a diamond beaded silver Atelier Versace gown for the closing ceremony. With such a show-stopping outfit, her make-up needed to be subtle, as make-up artist Mary Greenwell explains. “Uma’s hair was scraped back into a tiny neat bun, with dripping diamond earrings, so it was very important that her make-up was simple, complementing the hair and allowing the dress and jewels to really shine. The look was about great skin and polished perfection.” Here is Mary’s step-by-step guide: Immaculate complexion “First I prepped Uma’s gorgeous skin with a light coverage of Mac Face and Body Foundation in C3, £26.50, to even out skin tone. Under the eyes I applied Kanebo Sensai…
