Four days after saying “I do” during a simple civil ceremony in the bride’s native Germany, Prince Félix of Luxembourg and his childhood sweetheart Claire Lademacher exchanged religious vows in regal style at the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine basilica in the South of France. A host of royals and aristocrats filled the pews of the 13th-century church, which had been decorated with fragrant lemon trees and lavender shrubs to bring the beauty of the Provençal countryside to the proceedings. As the 29-year-old groom – second son of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and Grand Duke Henri – waited at the altar, Claire arrived at precisely 11am, stepping out of a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom to reveal the day’s best-kept secret: her dream wedding gown. For the simple civil ceremony, the bride, who became Princess Claire…

She may no longer be wearing his engagement ring, but Elizabeth Hurley was happy to put family first as she joined Shane Warne and his three children last Monday for a meal in London. The Australian cricket star, who last week was taking part in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship celebrity golf event in Scotland, has been joined for a holiday in the UK by his daughters Brooke, 16, and Summer, 11, and son Jackson, 14. The trio are based in Melbourne with their mother, Shane’s ex-wife Simone Callahan. Elizabeth, 48, and Shane, who got engaged two years ago and share a £6million country estate in Herefordshire, are widely reported to have called time on their relationship, with a source close to the actress, businesswoman and mother of one telling…

As she announces ever-bigger plans for her acclaimed design label, the usually intensely private Victoria Beckham has decided to open the door to her life in an unprecedented fashion. The former Spice Girl, who over the past five years has made an impressive career change from pop star to international fashion designer, has agreed to appear in a new digital project that will shed light on her remarkable journey. The decision by Victoria to enter into what she describes as her “unique new project” with Internet video calling service Skype promises to lift the lid on her fashion line. She is allowing access to meetings, bookings and fittings – all part of the elaborate process that goes on behind the scenes as she designs her collections. ACCESS ALL AREAS The…

PRINCE HARRY Praises ‘extraordinary’ volunteers Prince Harry praised MapAction volunteers at a fundraiser for the humanitarian charity, of which he is patron. The organisation helps coordinate relief efforts in disaster areas and has been deployed more than 40 times in its ten years. “I was struck by their willingness to drop everything at a moment’s notice and step into the heart of the crisis no matter where it is in the world, leaving loved ones behind,” he said at the event at the Royal Society in London. “And to do this knowing that very few people will have any idea what contribution they have made. They are extraordinary people and this is an extraordinary organisation.” ROLF HARRIS Indecency case opens Rolf Harris appeared in court last week to face nine…

I’ve done the Alzheimer’s Society’s Memory Walk every year for quite a long time, and it has become especially important since my father, Dennis, who had the disease for 17 years, died in February last year, aged 85. The walk touches many people, because so many of us have memories of somebody who either has died from Alzheimer’s disease or is living with it. Even when someone who has dementia is still alive, you feel as if you’ve lost them – you’ve lost the person you know. Even though they’re there in body, you feel they’re not there in the spirit they used to be. Strange as it may sound, the walks are pleasant events, because they’re normally in lovely locations. I’m doing one in Dorking, at Denbies Vineyard, which…

From a chance meeting while stopped in the Los Angeles traffic to their wedding at a luxury private hilltop estate in Malibu, it’s not surprising that The Mentalist star Owain Yeoman and his jewellery designer bride Gigi Yallouz believe they are living the Hollywood dream. “It’s our own little movie romance,” Gigi exclusively tells hello!. “I knew from the moment I met Gigi that I wanted to marry her,” adds Owain, 35, from Chepstow, who had exchanged phone numbers with Gigi after the pair spotted each other at a set of traffic lights early in 2012. The actor, whose first marriage, to British actress Lucy Davis, ended in divorce in 2011, proposed last October. Their ceremony took place on the estate’s helipad, with views across the mountains and coast. “It…

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a new coat of arms, created to represent them together as a married couple. Kensington Palace released the details of the conjugal coat of arms – showing the separate shields of a husband and wife, placed side by side – last week. The design was approved by the Queen in February. Designed by the College of Arms in London, the conjugal arms was created by combining William’s coat of arms on the left, granted to him by the Queen on his 18th birthday, with the shield of the Middleton family on the right, created for them in 2011 ahead of Kate’s marriage. A spokesman for the College of Arms told hello!: “The Duke and Duchess have certainly seen the new coat of arms…

Preparing for the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing has been like “therapy” for professional dancer Kristina Rihanoff as she copes with her split from former world boxing champion Joe Calzaghe. “We still have a lot of feelings for each other,” Kristina tells hello! in this exclusive interview, in which she breaks her silence for the first time since the July split. “It is really sad, but we realised that neither of us was happy in the relationship any more.” The couple met on the set of Strictly Come Dancing in 2009, when Joe was introduced as Kristina’s celebrity dance partner. One of the reasons Kristina and Joe decided to end things was their differing views on children. While Kristina has a successful career – she competed in ballroom and…

It’s a sobriquet that she has been associated with for most of her career, but Naomi Campbell says she’s ready to lose the “supermodel” tag because it has become so overused it’s “a joke”. The tough-talking fashion-pack leader, who hits our TV screens on Monday as a mentor on The Face – an X-Factor-style modelling competition – says she is so fed up of its overuse that she doesn’t want to be associated with it any more. Shaking her mane of glossy black hair at a topic she clearly finds irritating, she says: “If all these girls that I’ve never seen i n a m a g a z i n e a r e supermodels, then I want to go back to being [known as] just a working model.…

After the London cool of the capital’s Fashion Week, Italy’s designers showed why they’re Hollywood favourites, serving up a cocktail of silverscreen glamour, renaissance and rock ‘n’ roll for their spring/summer 2014 collections. And there to help showcase them was veteran catwalk star Jodie Kidd, who made a comeback at Moschino’s 30th anniversary show hand in hand with fellow Brit Erin O’Connor. “So lovely to be back with ma girls, it’s been too long,” tweeted Jodie. Also in town was runaway runway success Cara Delevingne, just recognisable in a heavy black wig as she walked for Fendi, though without the front-row support this time of her close friend Harry Styles. Off the catwalk and confirming rumours of a nude photoshoot with Playboy to mark her 40th birthday, Kate Moss posed…

All about EVE… One wall, one day, one amazing challenge! Walk Hadrian’s Wall and help The Eve Appeal save women’s lives as it funds vital research into gynaecological cancers Every year in the UK more than 19,000 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer, and some 7,000 die from one of these cancers. A gynaecological cancer refers to the five cancers that start in the female reproductive system – cervical, ovarian, vaginal, vulval and cancer of the womb. “Women have become experts in identifying lumps and bumps that may indicate breast cancer and this awareness has had a positive effect on the incidence of breast cancer,” says Robert Marsh, chief executive of The Eve Appeal. “Unfortunately this is not the case with gynaecological cancers. No one likes to talk about…

Herefordshire-born Jessica says she puts her “rural accent” to good use in the production at London’s Donmar Warehouse as working class Beatie, who returns to the family farm to await the arrival of her new boyfriend Ronnie, a young socialist whom she met in London. “I’m going to sound like a right bumpkin in a month’s time,” joked Jessica of her role.

The Queen’s oldest great grandchildren had a grand day out horsing around at an equestrian event close to home. Savannah and Isla Phillips joined their parents, Peter and Autumn, at the horse trials in their grandmother the Princess Royal’s estate, Gatcombe Park. The two little girls had fun brandishing sticks and meeting new doggy pals. When Savannah, two and a half, spotted her granny wielding a shepherd’s crook, however, that seemed far more interesting. Happy to indulge her granddaughter, Princess Anne, who is about to become a grandmother for the third time with daughter Zara expecting her first baby, handed over the staff, which Savannah showed to her clearly delighted 18-monthold sister. The non-stop tot was later spotted taking the family dog for a walk, before settling down to watch…

As he stood up to accept an Emmy for his role as Liberace in Behind the Candelabra, her absence was obvious. But it would seem that Catherine Zeta-Jones was still very much on Michael Douglas’s mind as he moved towards the podium. Despite the couple making the decision to separate four months ago, the actor was determined to pay credit to his wife of 13 years in his acceptance speech. “I wanna thank my wife, Catherine, for her support,” he said, as he was handed the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie. Later, when asked how things were going with the actress, he replied: “We’re working things out, talking, and we’ll see how it goes. It’s been a great professional year for me and the personal…

As accustomed these days to gracing guest lists as compiling them, party plannerturned-columnist Pippa mingled with the likes of Jemima Khan (both left) at the opening of the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens, an event co-hosted by her new employer, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter.

Heading the cool crowd at the charity boxing event, organised by British fine jewellery company Boodles, was Prince Harry, who enjoyed a rare public night out with his girlfriend Cressida Bonas, who looked stunning in a split-to-the-thigh black crochet lace gown by Roberto Cavalli.

Earlier this year, Angelina Jolie said she was “very happy” that her decision to speak frankly about her decision to reduce her risk of breast cancer through preventive surgery had got people talking about the disease. But research by the charity Breast Cancer Campaign (BCC) has found that many of us still don’t feel comfortable raising the topic of breast health. One woman in eight will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point; yet three-quarters of us never or rarely speak about breast checks with our families or friends. But knowing the symptoms of breast cancer and how to check your breasts can lead to the early detection and survival of the disease. Every year about 48,000 British women are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it the most common…

She was looking forward to having a “real bump”, so Tamara Ecclestone was only too happy to display the beginnings of one while on holiday in Los Angeles last week.

The burly 6ft 2in sports star turned TV personality tied the knot on 12 September, at the stunning private country house Eastwell Manor in Kent, in a ceremony that was a touching blend of humour and heartfelt emotion.

Boats and babies seem to be a winning combination for Olympic rowing gold medallist Alex Gregory. The 29-year-old, who was part of the men’s coxless four that took gold at the London Games last year, scooped another gold medal in the men’s eight at the world championships in South Korea recently, just days after his partner Emily Airey gave birth to the couple’s second child, Daisy Delilah. His first World Rowing Championship gold medal came in the men’s four in Poland, just days before the arrival of his son Jasper in October 2009. “Our babies obviously bring me luck,” beams the handsome 6ft 6in athlete. “We shall have to plan our next around Rio!” Any thoughts of the 2016 Olympics will have to wait, at least for the next couple…

Richard Gere and his wife of 11 years confirmed last week that they have parted company.

But to take that extra step is the biggest stride imaginable. I have no problems…

But this is no common-or-garden gala. It’s a bash organised by writer and TV presenter Dawn O’Porter at Bush Hall in London to celebrate friendship, in honour of Breast Cancer Care. With the support of her actor husband Chris O’Dowd and celebrity friends including Strictly Come Dancing contestant Sophie Ellis-Bextor and singer Melanie C, Dawn hosted the glittering Best Friends Ball in memory of her mother Carol Rix and Sarah Galley-Stedmans. “I met Sarah when I was making a documentary a few years ago and she was dying from breast cancer,” Dawn tells hello! as we join her at our exclusive photoshoot before the event. “We really connected, I think because she had a seven-year-old daughter and I was seven when my own mum died. “Her friends totally blew me…

He is just ten weeks old, but already little Prince George of Cambridge is clocking up the miles. Since he was born, he has travelled from London to Berkshire and back again, over to Wales, then up to Scotland before his planned return to Kensington Palace.

Victoria Stapleton is a teenage girl’s dream mum. Warm, fun, cool and trendy, she is also the founder and creative director of British cashmere label Brora, loved by the smart set, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – and her three daughters. “My husband Johnny can hardly get into his cupboard for the girls ransacking it, looking for that oversized jumper to go with their skinny jeans.

Day creams, night creams, serums, eye gels, lip gels, masks, oils, cream cleansers, wash-off cleansers, exfoliants… The days when it was enough merely to cleanse, tone and moisturise are long gone and it is easy to fill your bathroom cabinet or dressing table with numerous different skincare products, each promising miraculous results and with a list of the latest must-have ingredients. But according to Dr David Colbert, one of New York’s leading anti-ageing dermatologists and the man who looks after the skin of the Victoria’s Secret Angels as well as that of Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Jennifer Lawrence, skincare does not need to be so complicated. For him, it is all about quality rather than quantity. “Skincare should be really easy for the person using it, only…

“I’ve been eating, sleeping and dreaming dancing for the past two weeks. Training for Strictly Come Dancing from 10am to 6pm five days a week has been really intense. Between that and looking after my little girl [Sophia, two, with her footballer husband Peter Crouch], I never seem to sit still for a moment. When I get home from Strictly, the first thing I do is soak in the bath, which isn’t as relaxing as it sounds, because Sophia and all her dolls are usually in there with me. “After the second day of training, my legs ached so much I could hardly walk, but now I don’t even really feel as if I’m doing exercise because I’m having so much fun. My body had changed loads after just four…

Gary Barlow is convinced he knows who this year’s winner of The X Factor will be.“Yes, I do,” smiles the Take That star, who is thrilled to have bagged the groups category ahead of this week’s Judges’ Houses shows. “It is hard at this point predicting because once you hit the live shows it is a different beast. It gets very competitive. Some people take on that pressure and you see them improving massively each week.” The show is as tough as ever. Returning judge Sharon Osbourne has sunk her finely manicured talons into grooming the over-25s at home in Los Angeles, Louis Walsh will be whipping the boys into shape in St Tropez and Nicole Scherzinger – last year’s winner with James Arthur – has been rocking the sun-drenched…
