Family was clearly very much on his mind as the Duke of Cambridge stepped in for his ailing wife to pay a historic visit to Malta. The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was forced to cancel what was meant to be her first official solo overseas tour after suffering from severe morning sickness. But Prince William kept in regular contact with his wife throughout the weekend visit, reporting back to well-wishers that she had been feeling “so-so, she’s up and down at the moment” on the Saturday, but that she was feeling a “little better” on the Sunday. “She was sad to have missed the trip but we both agreed that the hot weather would have been too much for her,” he said. The couple’s 14-month-old son Prince George, too, was…

Battle of Britain veterans were on a high after meeting the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at a special service of thanksgiving at London’s Westminster Abbey. Prince Charles, who is patron of the Battle of Britain Fighter Association as well as an Air Chief Marshal of the RAF, looked fit for duty in his ceremonial uniform, while Camilla opted for a pale blue suit and matching hat. The couple were among the congregation of veterans, military personnel and their families who were invited to the annual service. They also watched as a Spitfire and a Hurricane flew over the abbey to mark the historic Second World War air campaign. However this was no flying visit by Charles and Camilla, who later attended a reception where they chatted…

As pop royalty Britney Spears touched down in London to promote her Intimate lingerie range, there was only one person the US star wanted to model her new collection – the Duchess of Cambridge. Talking to HELLO! Britney, 32, adopted her plummiest British accent to say: “I would love Kate to wear my designs, that would be splendid. I’m going to send her one in every piece so she’ll have plenty to choose from.” The launch at the Hotel Café Royal featured a surprise visit by her friend Nicole Scherzinger, who chatted to Britney’s mum Lynne as models walked around the boudoir-styled room in the vintage-inspired pieces and posed with Britney (right). Just days later the singer flew to the Polish capital Warsaw (above right) before arriving in Germany sporting…

She has already bewitched millions of Harry Potter fans and recently Emma Watson held an audience of UN ambassadors spellbound as she launched a campaign to involve men and boys in the fight for women’s equality and empowerment. Dressed to impress in a belted heather grey Dior dress accessorised with the HeForShe campaign logo, Emma delivered an impassioned speech at the UN headquarters in New York (above left) that addressed her sceptics head-on. “You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl and what’s she doing speaking at the UN? And it’s a really good question. I’ve been asking myself the same thing,” she said. “All I know is that I care about this problem and I want to make it better.” The 24-year-old became a UN women’s goodwill…

With his scathing put-downs, Strictly Come Dancing’s Queen of Mean Craig Revel Horwood (far right) has never been one to mince his words. And the 49-year-old judge and choreographer is itching to share his opinions on this year’s crop of fledgling ballroom dancers. First in the firing line is Judy Murray, the mother of 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy. At first, he thought her a “bizarre” choice for the show. “But I actually think she’s going to be a good laugh,” says Craig, who’s hoping that viewers take the feisty Scot to their hearts in much the same way they did Craig’s previous Strictly adversary, former Conservative cabinet minister Ann Widdecombe. “I just hope people don’t laugh at Judy – I hope they laugh with her. And I’m really hoping she…

Olivia Palermo showed off some sensational trans-seasonal style as she stepped out in London last week. The US socialite opted for a grey knit sweater and slim-fit leather pencil skirt, accessorised with a pair of nude Gianvito Rossi suede double ankle strap heels and a Whistles Rivington Croc clutch. She wrapped up her leather look with a Rebecca Minkoff pearl-embellished Wes Moto jacket and her favourite Italia Independent studded sunglasses.

The facts around breast cancer can make for startling reading. It’s the most common form of cancer in the UK and one in eight women will develop it, while many more will be affected by it. Whether it is you, a friend, colleague or family member, most of us know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease. Unfortunately, while survival rates continue to rise thanks to advances in early detection and treatment, there is no surefire way to prevent breast cancer. However, there are ways to reduce your risk of getting it – along with boosting your chances of beating the disease if you do. And best of all, many of them are surprisingly simple. STROLL ON Regular exercise is recommended for anyone who wants to stay healthy, but…

Young at heart Denzel Washington is preparing to celebrate his 60th birthday and an extraordinary 40 years in the movie business. Denzel’s first role – a blink-andyou’ll-miss-it cameo – was in the 1974 vigilante thriller Death Wish , playing a hood gunned down by Charles Bronson. Since then he’s never stopped acting and his awards include two Oscars and the Donostia lifetime recognition award (left) at this year’s San Sebastian film festival. His latest film is The Equalizer , an action thriller based on the 1980s US TV show. Denzel is a father of four and lives in Beverly Hills with Pauletta, his wife of 31 years. You have a big birthday coming up in December, haven’t you, Denzel? I don’t really think of any birthday as a “big” birthday.…

She is one of Tabitha Webb’s biggest fans so when the British designer opened her first London store last week, Pippa Middleton was keen to show her support. Fresh from a wedding in Italy at the weekend, the fashion-conscious journalist (far left, with Tabitha) looked tanned, relaxed and stylish as she wore one of her friend’s latest designs, a multicoloured polka-dot dress, which she accessorised with a belt, studded clutch and ankle boots. Beaming broadly at the event (above right), Pippa happily mingled with fellow VIP guests at the launch party, who included TV presenter Jenni Falconer and her actor husband James Midgley. “Pippa looked beautiful in the Twiggy, which is a new shape and style for us this season,” said Tabitha, whose eponymous label has attracted other famous fans,…

Pop star Rita Ora is definitely Hot Right Now so who better to join hit BBC1 show The Voice as its new coach.

Having recently revealed that she will be returning to London’s West End for the first time in 25 years with a starring role in Sweeney Todd, Oscar winner Emma Thompson was hoping for a change of direction of a different sort when she urged global leaders to act on climate change last week. Joining thousands of protestors – among them her 14-year-old daughter Gaia (below right) – the Saving Mr Banks actress took part in a protest march to the steps of the Houses of Parliament. Earlier this month, Emma, 55, saw for herself the impact climate change is having when she and Gaia visited the Arctic with Greenpeace. “We can’t go on pretending nothing is happening,” she said before the march, which was timed to coincide with similar protests…

‘I will work until I drop – and possibly afterwards, you know. A travel series set in heaven, perhaps’ That may be a little too intrepid for the BBC, Michael Palin (left) ‘I’m very embarrassed by this’ David Cameron apologises for saying the Queen “purred down the line” when he told her Scotland voted no to independence.

When X Factor hopeful Lizzy Pattinson landed in Los Angeles en route to Simon Cowell’s Beverly Hills home for the Judges’ Houses stage of the show, a familiar face greeted her – that of Twilight actor and Dior Homme brand ambassador Robert Pattinson, who just happens to be her little brother. “They were playing the Dior ad at LAX,” laughs Lizzy. “There was this huge screen with Robert’s face on. It might have even been in the shop behind where I was doing an interview, which would be quite hilarious.” But did she have the chance to catch up with him in the flesh? “Unfortunately we haven’t really had a moment spare, so I haven’t had time to see him.” The talented singer, who works as a personal assistant but…

Winning over Lily Allen is a little like trying to be best friends with the cool girl at school. Slow to smile and quick to quip, the sharp-witted lyricist has now turned her talents to creating nail art. To help her, she’s teamed up with Elegant Touch to launch the Lily Loves range of easy-to-use stick on nails. HELLO! sat down with the singer to talk style secrets and discovered that, despite her too-cool-to-care persona, she’s a real beauty aficionado. This is your first hook-up with a beauty company; what made you decide to create Lily Loves? “Nail art is part of my style and Elegant Touch are the best. They are the market leaders and know what they are doing. I’m a real fan. It just made sense as…

Useful for hangovers, colds and minor aches and pains, most of us have a packet of aspirin in our bathroom cabinets. Developed more than a century ago, it remains a popular all-rounder and worldwide we swallow a hundred billion tablets a year. But recent research has found that this humble painkiller could also play a vital role in the prevention of miscarriage and birth defects, as well as certain cancers, heart attacks and strokes. Little wonder some experts are now urging us to consider taking it daily. Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, was first developed in the 1890s as a synthetic form of salicin, an extract from the bark of the willow tree that had been prized for its painkilling and anti-inflammatory effects for centuries. The active ingredient in aspirin works…

ONE TO WATCH Helen McCrory returns to BBC2 crime saga Peaky Blinders this week as formidable matriarch Aunt Polly alongside show newbies Tom Hardy and Game of Thrones star Charlotte Riley (together left), who made headlines last week with reports that the real-life couple had wed two months ago in a secret ceremony. The second series of the period drama, so titled because of the razor blades sewn into the men’s caps, sees Cillian Murphy (right, with Helen) also return, as villainous Tommy Shelby. It is set in the 1920s and is based on the real-life exploits of Birmingham’s notorious Shelby clan. The 38-year-old Irish-born star of 28 Days Later and Inception says he couldn’t be further from his latest character. “I’m really a wimp ,” he says. “It’s nice…

Simon Cowell might now be a father, but he proved he’s still very much a ladies’ man when he celebrated his birthday last week. Although the X Factor creator and head judge doesn’t turn 55 until 7 October, his girlfriend Lauren Silverman threw him an early party at Italian restaurant Scalini in London’s Chelsea. Heading the glamorous guest list was his fellow X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who was joined by Britain’s Got Talent co-judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon – with her boyfriend, choreographer and dancer Azuka Ononye – Dutch model Lara Stone – who was accompanied by her husband, Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams – and 1980s pop star Sinitta, a former girlfriend of Simon’s. Also joining the party was another of Simon’s former flames, TV presenter…

With a beaming smile as well as high fives and affectionate hugs for all, Prince Harry was the undisputed Prince of hearts at the WellChild Awards last week, honouring the courage of seriously ill children and their families. Giving an award to four-year-old Carson Hartley – who was born three months prematurely with a heart defect, chronic lung disease, spina bifida, brittle bone disease and paralysed vocal cords and can only breath with the aid of a machine – Harry knelt as the little lad excitedly raced around him before high-fiving the royal guest of honour and giving him a cuddle. “He’s a live wire,” the Prince, who has been patron of the charity since 2007, told Carson’s proud parents, Damian, 23, and Kirsty, 34, at the tenth annual awards…

In Verona for an event to launch Intimissimi’s latest underwear collection, Abbey Clancy managed to slip a spot of sightseeing into her schedule. And during her tour of Italy’s fair city, the model and TV presenter could not resist recreating one of literature’s most iconic moments, posing on the balcony of the Casa di Giulietta, the mooted home of Shakespeare’s tragic heroine (below right) and stopping for a photo opportunity with a statue of Juliet (below). Her own Romeo was back home in the UK, playing for Stoke City in their Premiership match against QPR, but husband Peter Crouch is never far from her thoughts and she took to Twitter to share her pride in his on-pitch performance. “He shoots he scores!! Go baby,” she tweeted. Abbey obviously had her…

Having mastered the tricky business of walking, little North West has had her first experience of the runway. Thanks to her fashion-focused parents, the toddler daughter of Kim and Kanye West was a surprise front rower at the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week. North made her own solo modelling debut this summer, wearing Chanel in the latest edition of Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book. But, according to Kim, the 15-month-old did not want to miss out on a chance to see how the grown-ups did it. “She started to cry when we were walking out of the door,” she said. “We couldn’t leave her.” And what did North make of Alexander Wang’s first show for the French fashion line, which featured models in mirrored shades and floor-sweeping coats? “She…

Actor Ben Richards and his partner Kirsty Duffy are two people who believe that dreams can become reality. During a holiday on a Thai island last year, they lit candles, placed them in paper lanterns and sent them floating into the sunset as they both made silent wishes. It was a romantic gesture the actor and musical theatre star and his TV presenter girlfriend had forgotten about until a couple of months ago, when Kirsty discovered that she was pregnant – something she never thought would happen after Ben was told that his chances of having children were virtually nil. “When I found out I was expecting a baby, I said to Ben that my wish came true when we lit the lanterns on that beautiful night. And he said,…

The Prince of Wales last week led tributes to Deborah Vivien Freeman-Mitford Cavendish, the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, who died aged 94. “She was a unique personality with a wonderfully original approach to life, and a memorable turn of phrase to match that originality,” he said. Deborah and her five sisters – the famous Mitford sisters – were regulars on the social scene in the 1930s and ’40s, often causing scandal. “Debo” once accompanied her sister Unity to tea with Adolf Hitler. In 1941 Deborah married Andrew Cavendish, who later became the 11th Duke of Devonshire, and she went on to make their home, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, one of the country’s most profitable stately homes. The couple had a son and two daughters. She became the Dowager Duchess in…
