It was a telephone call that would change his life. Carole Middleton was informing the closest members of her family that a huge story was about to hit the press. Her daughter Kate had started dating Prince William and Carole wanted those in her inner circle to be aware of the news before it became public knowledge. As Carole’s only sibling, Gary Goldsmith was one of a handful of privileged people to receive that 2002 phone call – within a week, details of the romance unfolding at the University of St Andrews were indeed making global headlines. It was the start of a romance that would, nine years later, see the couple walk up the aisle at Westminster Abbey. And their love story continues to enthral the world as the…

THE QUEEN IS SMILES BETTER, THANK YOU While others might find a bout of gastroenteritis hard to stomach, it was very nearly business as usual for the Queen last week, as she carried out her first official engagements since being advised by doctors to “pace herself”. Dressed in mint-green and silver, Her Majesty seemed on fine form as she attended a reception to celebrate Commonwealth Day with High Commissioners from around the world. As well as signing the historic new Commonwealth charter (above) and giving a speech, she took time to meet and greet guests during the reception at London’s Marlborough House (below left). She did, though, pull out of the Commonwealth Day Observance service at Westminster Abbey, with the Duke of Edinburgh stepping in ably for her (above left).…

The day before the Duchess of Cambridge stole the Cheltenham Festival show, all eyes were on her younger sister Pippa Middleton. Wearing an eye-catching yellow Katherine Hooker coat, complete with Russian-style hat, to the races last Thursday, the 29-year-old party planner and writer accessorised her outfit with dark Givenchy sunglasses, Aquatalia boots and coordinating clutch. Almost as soon as she had arrived at the racecourse, Pippa was the centre of attention. Moving into the VIP area with her friend, banker Tom Kingston, she entered a box that was believed to have been hired by a law firm. Pippa and Tom were seen animatedly watching the action on the course – although if their despairing body language was anything to go by, they failed to back a winning horse. Zara stood…

Sarah Jessica Parker’s adorable three-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha have clearly got a taste for winter weather, pausing in the middle of a New York blizzard to catch the falling snowfl akes on their tongues. Bundled up in balaclavas and anoraks, the two little girls venture onto the streets of Manhattan come rain or shine, as SJP ensures they get time to blow off steam. IT’S SNOW FUN FOR SARAH JESSICA AS SHE CHILLS OUT WITH HER TWINS L.A. ACCIDENT TURNS OUT TO BE A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK FOR MIRANDA She might be wearing a neck brace, but Miranda Kerr still looks as glamorous as ever in a pair of stylish retro sunglasses as she emerges from a check-up at the doctor’s, mobile phone at the ready The…

‘He personally directs every aspect of what he creates. He’s unique in that’ More than 40 years ago an androgynous creature dressed in a flamboyant, multicoloured two-piece caused shockwaves when he appeared on Top of the Pops singing about a Starman. Almost overnight David Bowie changed the face of pop music and, for the next four decades, has influenced the worlds not only of rock’n’roll but also fashion, art and design. Now the extraordinary career of one of our most pioneering pop stars is being celebrated with the first ever international retrospective of his work – entitled David Bowie is – at L o n d o n ’ s V i c t o r i a & Albert Museum, which is already breaking ticketsale records. The show brings…

HOG CHEETS DEATH Here’s a brave little fella who looks like he’s about to pig out on fast food. The curious chain of events took place in South Africa’s Tshukudu Game Reserve when the warthog spotted its chance to turn the tables on the cheetah and the cheetah recognised the danger posed by its tusks. Though the cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world, it is the warthog who is armed with the weapons to nail the big cat.

Successful singer, Strictly Come Dancing winner and Britain’s Got Talent star Alesha Dixon has even more to keep her busy lately, having recently said “yes” to continuing as Avon’s UK ambassador. We caught up with her to chat about what she loves best about the beauty giant, her laidback approach to looking good and what’s coming up on the hit TV show. Alesha, what influenced your decision to continue as Avon’s UK ambassador? “I was so over the moon that they asked me because of their campaigning for breast cancer awareness and their stance on violence against women. It’s a company that really cares for and empowers women, and that’s rare. For me, it felt like a perfect fit. I grew up in a family with domestic violence. I made…

Lucy Cochrane and Henry Brown After a stirring service at King’s College, Cambridge, Lucy and Henry punted down the candlelit river under the moonlight. Natalie and Steven Lindsay Natalie and Steven exchanged vows at Glasgow University Chapel, before heading to Edinburgh for the reception.

It’s an odd experience watching the nation’s most famous watering hole burn to the ground, and yet a strangely welcoming one as I discovered when I joined the cast of Coronation Street on a bitterly cold night last month to witness the razing of the Rovers Return. “When the fire went up, at first the cast gravitated towards it,” reveals Tony Hirst, who plays resident fireman Paul Kershaw. “They were warming their hands around it, which is very, very wrong. They should have been acting at that point!” Fortunately, there are high-octane performances all round in this week’s gripping scenes, in which Rovers landlady Stella, played by Michelle Collins (above right, helping me keep warm), and Sunita, played by Shobna Gulati, are caught in a conflagration that’s sparked by dodgy…

She is said to be fiercely competitive, so perhaps it not surprising that Pippa Middleton finished her gruelling 42-mile ski race last week with a smile on her face. But it wasn’t just her sporting efforts that gave the Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister her cheery demeanour. No doubt the presence of her new boyfriend, City banker Nico Jackson, had plenty to do with it, too. Pippa and Nico – who also competed in the Engadin Skimarathon – made no attempt to hide their affection for each other as they embraced on the finish line. With both sets of parents cheering them on, it seems the romance has their families’ seal of approval, too. PIPPED AT THE POST The couple’s trip to the Swiss resort of St Moritz was their…

Beaming as they left their wedding ceremony, the happy couple then hosted a reception for 170 friends and family Beaming as they made their way from their wedding ceremony to the reception, newly married couple Zac Goldsmith and Alice Rothschild were the picture of happiness. The pair – who are expecting their first child together in July – tied the knot in front of an intimate gathering of close friends and family in the unusual but picturesque setting of the London Wetland Centre in Barnes last Friday afternoon. Following the ceremony, Conservative MP Zac and banking heiress Alice headed to Petersham Nurseries in Richmond to host a reception for around 170 guests. The 105-acre wetlands park – situated in Zac’s constituency of Richmond Park and North Kingston – was a…

W hen the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were welcomed by King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan last week at the start of their ten-day tour of the Middle East, it was a case of Eastern fashion meets Western fashion, but with a twist. While Camilla wore a long outfit for dinner at Beit al-Urdun, the private residence of the Jordanian royals in the capital Amman, Queen Rania opted for a red and taupe Western-style dress. The following morning Charles was shown around the King Hussein Mosque. Completed in 2010, the building’s architecture was greatly admired by the Prince. His wife, meanwhile, was taking part in a storytelling session for deaf children at a museum founded by Queen Rania. As the story was read in…

The newlyweds are congratulated by their guests – including Sam’s sister Holly and grandmother Eve – bearing candles, as they head to their reception in the bush (above). In a break from tradition, the bride delivered the fi rst of many emotional speeches: “Sam, I love you more than words can say, always have, ever since I very fi rst met you. I am so happy to be your wife.” To which the elated groom replied: “I’m a lucky boy. Wow!” ‘My angel, you always look incredible, but today you took my breath away… I promise to take care of you and make you smile every day. With your love and support, I really do believe anything is possible’ Sam It was the wedding of the year – a five-day…

INTERVIEWER TO THE STARS TANIA BRYER POSES THE BIG QUESTIONS AND GETS SOME POIGNANT ANSWERS When Tania Bryer met former US President Bill Clinton he passed on some unforgettable advice for coping in a crisis. “You’ve got to get up, suit up and get on with the day,” he told her. “Those words still ring in my ears,” says the TV presenter, who was given unprecedented access to the 66-year-old political heavyweight for her new show, CNBC Meets. “He’s very charismatic,” Tania, 50, tells hello!. “His close friend, actor Sean Penn, summed it up when he told me that when Bill Clinton arrives, it feels as if Elvis has entered the building. “But what really surprised me was his openness about his tough upbringing. He never knew his father –…

Twitter followers, footballer-turned-broadcaster Gary Lineker, 52, must feel he’s doing something right. “I’m sure there are people out there who can’t stand me,” he smiles, though it’s hard to imagine that being the case. In person, the Leicester-born greengrocer’s son is charming and funny, and he doesn’t take himself too seriously, as the ads he’s been doing for Walkers crisps since 1995 suggest. With almost 1.5 million b d smile gree si m A top goal scorer with a distinguished football career (he’s famous for never having received a yellow or red card), Gary retired from the game in 1994, parlaying his expertise into a second career as a radio and TV sportscaster. He’s also a campaigner for children’s charities, prompted by his son George’s battle with leukaemia as a…

Although Victoria Beckham was as stylish as ever as she took her place in the football stands to watch husband David play for his new team last week, for once she was not the one turning heads. Instead, all eyes were on her and David’s 19-month-old daughter Harper, who looked cute as a button as she took in all the action. Little Harper sat on Victoria’s lap for part of the match as David’s team Paris Saint-Germain took on AS Nancy in the French capital. Dressed in a cute grey dress and chic white coat, Harper enthusiastically followed her mum’s lead, clapping and cheering as David’s team stormed to a 2-1 victory.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive at the Cheltenham Festival of horseracing last week. Kate wrapped up her tiny baby bump well against biting wind and rain in her dusty pink Joseph coat It’s known as the sport of kings, but it was a future Queen who stole the show at this year’s Cheltenham Festival.

Accompanied by her husband the Duke, the couple turned the day into a proper family gathering as they were joined by Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall, Peter and Autumn Phillips and the Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.…

MICHELLE OBAMA US First Lady is hacking victim A hacker has posted personal data belonging to US First Lady Michelle Obama o n l i n e , i t emerged last week. US police are investigating how financial i n f o r m a t i o n relating to the wife of US President Barack turned up on a website along with that of celebrities including Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears and Donald Trump. The hacker’s IP address was traced to Russia and last week more than 150,000 people had visited the page, which purportedly carried credit card and mortgage details and the addresses of celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Tom Cruise. “Due to the ongoing investigation we can’t comment,” said Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie.

St Peter’s Square in Rome was the focus of the world’s attention last week as 115 cardinals from around the world gathered in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new Pope. All eyes were on the chimney on top of the chapel which would signal that the conclave had chosen a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, who became the first Pope in 600 years to step down after admitting at the end of February that the burden of offi ce had become too great for him. The fi rst day saw only black smoke emerging, indicating no decision had been made, but the faithful didn’t have long to wait and on Wednesday evening, after just two days of voting, a plume of white smoke billowed out to indicate the 266th…

Looking stunning in a black Philip Armstrong dress, Coronation Street’s Shobna Gulati marked her departure from the show in style. The beautiful 46-year-old, who has played Sunita Alahan for more than a decade, shared tears and laughter with friends including Kate Ford, Samia Ghadie and her screen husband Jimmi Harkishin at her leaving party – before bowing out of the show in dramatic scenes that air this week. Looking super glamorous in her little black dress, actress Shobna is streets ahead of shop worker Sunita Alahan, the character she’s played for 12 years on Coronation Street. Leaving after such a long time is bittersweet for the 46-year-old, as she has to say a fond farewell to colleagues, including her on-screen husband Dev, played by Jimmi Harkishin (together, inset top) Shobna…

Susan Sarandon called hers “uneventful”, artist Tracey Emin has described it as an opportunity to “discover new things”, while for Cybill Shepherd it was “another exciting stage”. Yet, despite the number of high-profile women who have reached or passed the milestone of the menopause, few seem prepared to talk openly about it, perhaps because it’s a subject that is still mentioned only in hushed tones, or in jest. Part of the natural ageing process, some women sail through the menopause with few symptoms. However, for those plagued by hot flushes, poor energy levels, lack of concentration and mood swings, it is good to know that there are ways to alleviate them. For some, the traditional route of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the first port of call, but an increasing…
