She was the muse behind her designer mother’s latest collection. And, even dressed down in jazzy leggings, a T-shirt and jacket, the five-year-old daughter of David and Victoria Beckham was leading the way as she took a walk with her mother in London last week. The designer also had sports gear on for the outing, though Harper chose a more colourful ensemble. Victoria was just back from New York, where she had been promoting her clothing range for high street store Target, which goes on sale on 9 April and includes designs for children. Speaking last week, Victoria said she had been inspired by her daughter – the youngest of her four children with ex-footballer David – and Harper, in turn, had been excited to try on Mum’s new designs.…

Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney had one fan doing a double take after he arrived at her care home in Berkshire. Pat Adams, a resident of the Sunrise Senior Living facility in the village of Sonning, near Reading, said she “couldn’t believe it” when the 55-year-old Gravity star arrived unannounced with a bunch of flowers and a handwritten note for her. “I looked up and suddenly there was George. George Clooney,” Pat told Sky News. “It was just lovely.” The visit happened after the home’s newsletter ran a story about how Pat’s greatest wish was to meet the Hollywood star, who lives nearby with wife Amal – the couple were recently seen taking a stroll near their nine-bedroom property (right). When staff sent a copy to the actor, he happily obliged.…

There were plenty of eyes on the Countess of Wessex when she touched down at Stansted Airport to board a rather special plane. After arriving by helicopter, Sophie trod the tarmac (left) to visit the Flying Eye Hospital, run by sight charity Orbis (below). As patron of Vision 2020: The Right to Sight and global ambassador of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, the Countess’s commitment to the cause is clear to see. She has said of Orbis’s work restoring sight among the world’s poorest: “There is nothing more valuable.” She had visited the previous Flying Eye Hospital, which flies specialists to areas with no access to eyecare and features an operating theatre, recovery room and training facilities, during a 2013 trip to Kolkata. Having had a virtual…

‘I know that is what I was put on Earth to do – to be a mother’ It has been a self-confessed dream of hers for several years. And now Cheryl’s wish to become a mother has been granted, after the singer and presenter welcomed her first child, a boy, with boyfriend Liam Payne. The last time we saw the 33-year-old former Girls Aloud star, she was heavily pregnant and posing for an advertising campaign. The photograph, taken for L’Oréal Paris’s All Worth It campaign, was released in February and within days she was relaxing into her last few weeks of child-free responsibilities with boyfriend Liam, 23. And now, announcing their news appropriately enough on Mother’s Day, she has welcomed her first child. Cheryl is thought to have given birth…

Music legend Chuck Berry – the man credited with creating rock and roll – died last week at the age of 90. Tributes poured in from around the world for the legendary musician, whose most famous songs included Roll Over Beethoven , Johnny B Goode and Sweet Little Sixteen . Born Charles Edward Anderson Berry, he kept working until his death, even announcing in October last year – on the occasion of his 90th birthday – that he would be releasing another album, his first since 1979. Former Beatle Ringo Starr led the tributes, writing on Twitter: “R I P. And peace and love Chuck Berry Mr. rock’n’roll music.” Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger said: “I am so sad…

Elegantly dressed in a Catherine Walker gown and matching chiffon stole, the Princess of Wales shares a shy smile during a June 1987 shoot with Terence Donovan in the latest in our series of iconic photos of Diana to mark the 20th anniversary of her death. The powder blue of the dress complements her captivating blue eyes, while the diamond and pearl earrings, a wedding present from the Emir of Qatar, add to the glamour. A month earlier, Diana had dazzled in this dress – currently on show in the Diana: Her Fashion Story exhibition at Kensington Palace – at Cannes and comparisons were made with film star Grace Kelly, who wore a similar dress in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 classic To Catch a Thief .…

‘We are deeply conscious of the trust they are placing in us’ Principals Ben andTobyn Thomas Prince George is to be educated at a prep school in a middle-class area of South London, where the most important rule is to “Be Kind”. As parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge prepare to relocate from Norfolk to Kensington Palace, they announced that their son will start at Thomas’s Battersea in September. The 540-pupil mixed private school for children aged from four to 13 rates kindness and good manners more highly than academic success. In a statement, the royal couple said they were “delighted to have found a school where they are confident George will have a happy and successful start to his education”. The school, which costs about £6,000 a…

Dame Vera Lynn, who has become the first singer to release a new album aged 100, was the focus of the nation’s affection last week as she marked her milestone birthday. A 350-foot image of the Forces’ Sweetheart was projected onto the white cliffs of Dover in homage to her wartime hit (There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover, her new album Vera Lynn 100 shot up the charts, the BBC aired a documentary about her life and Prime Minister Theresa May wished her a happy birthday from the House of Commons. “I’m very proud of Mummy,” Dame Vera’s daughter Virginia Lewis-Jones tells HELLO! of the singer, who travelled the world to boost the morale of troops during the Second World War. “I’m proud of all the work…

Actress, DJ and mum of three Tina Hobley is best known for roles in TV dramas Holby City and Coronation Street. The 45-year-old joined reality show The Jump last year but had to pull out through injury. She lives in London. What’s your favourite TV show ever? The OA on Netflix.

Through the Keyhole. I love looking at…

Bella Hadid was a model of casual chic as she strolled around the Big Apple last week.

‘Jackie Collins lived the lifestyle about which she wrote’ When HELLO! was invited into the Los Angeles home of Jackie Collins shortly before her death in 2015, she told us how her spectacular 22,000sq ft mansion with its eight bedrooms, library, cinema, art gallery and swimming pool had been inspired by David Hockney’s painting, A Bigger Splash. “I saw it and it was millions of dollars so I thought, ‘I can’t afford the painting, but I’m going to have a house with that swimming pool instead.’ I drew a sketch, gave it to an architect and we started from there.” The best-selling author may not have bought that particular artwork but her house, which she said was built from the proceeds of her 1983 novel, Hollywood Wives, was filled…

While the Middle East was celebrating all things matriarchal last week, mum of four Queen Rania made her own mother’s day with a special post on Instagram. Enjoying a lunch date with her mum Ilham and older sister Dina, the Jordanian royal shared a low-key snap of the smiling trio and captioned the picture: “My sister and I, celebrating the best mom ever.” The family get-together came after Rania marked Mother’s Day, which is celebrated on 21 March in most Middle Eastern countries, by meeting local mums in Amman. The 46-year-old was pretty in pink as she arrived for the event in the Jordanian capital (above), where she chatted to her guests. Posting a photo of the intimate gathering on social media, she wrote: “No words of gratitude can do…

AMY WILLIAMS First baby for Winter Olympics star Olympic gold medallist Amy Williams has revealed to HELLO! that she and husband Craig Ham have become parents to a baby son. The 8lb 4oz boy was born on 22 March at 8.43pm. “Craig and I are over the moon to welcome our beautiful little boy into the world, totally in love,” said Amy, who retired from the skeleton bob in 2012, two years after winning gold at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. The sports star turned TV presenter, 34, found she was pregnant a year to the day after tying the knot with Craig. She now intends to juggle motherhood with work. “The baby can come with me,” she told HELLO!. • Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden are expecting…

‘We’re a long way from changing people’s perceptions about autism. I will fight until everyone out there understands more’ Model and TV star Amy Willerton, 24, made the final of The Jump this year and has competed in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here! . Announcing her role as ambassador for the National Autistic Society, Amy tells the poignant story behind her life in the limelight There is one vivid, hurtful memory from my childhood that I shall never forget. When I was ten years old, I was walking hand in hand with my younger brother Ross and as we passed another boy, he pointed at Ross and laughed: “What an ugly freak!” Those cruel words cut right through me. My…

She is due back in Toronto within days, but Meghan Markle spent special time in London with Prince Harry last week as he prepared to support causes close to the heart of his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales. The Prince and his US actress girlfriend of eight months were reunited a week after their trip to Jamaica, where they celebrated the wedding of Harry’s friend Tom Inskip. Meghan’s visit came as she spoke out about the challenge of being a mixed-race actress in Hollywood and also revealed how proud she is of her distinctive freckles. In a feature for US beauty magazine Allure , she wrote: “To this day, my pet peeve is when my skin tone is changed and my freckles are airbrushed out of a photoshoot. “For…

With less than two months to go until she weds her Prince Charming, financier James Matthews, Pippa Middleton is busily finalising plans for her big day – and it is certain to be the royal and society event of the year. Pippa’s ceremony in Berkshire on 20 May will see crowds turn out to witness the arrival of famous guests, foremost among them the bride’s elder sister, the Duchess of Cambridge, with her husband the Duke and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte – who will have starring roles on the day. And the question on everyone’s lips is: will Prince Harry bring his girlfriend of eight months, actress Meghan Markle, as his plus one? As the final countdown begins, HELLO! can reveal that the bride has enlisted respected…

‘The Duchess of Cambridge put on a perfect display of British elegance’ Her husband the Duke of Cambridge may have launched a “diplomatic charm offensive” when he spoke of the “deep friendship” between Britain and France. But it was the Duchess of Cambridge’s decision to honour her hosts in sartorial style that won plaudits across the Channel. Kate let her clothes do the talking and looked the epitome of Parisian chic as she stepped out in Chanel on day two of the royal couple’s official visit to the French capital. Her elegant multi-coloured tweed coat, worn with a belt and a calfskin bag by the French fashion house – and, with another nod to her hosts, accessorised with Cartier jewellery – took Kate through a day packed with engagements as…

PC KEITH PALMER The married father of one was hailed a hero after he died carrying out his duty protecting the Palace of Westminster. The unarmed 48-year-old Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection officer had worked for the Metropolitan Police for 15 years, embracing his new career after serving his country in the Royal Artillery. PC Palmer’s wife Michelle (on their wedding day, above), with whom he had a five-year-old daughter, said: “We love him so much.” A statement on behalf of his family said: “Keith will be remembered as a wonderful dad and husband. A loving son, brother and uncle. A long-time supporter of Charlton [Athletic] FC. Dedicated to his job and proud to be a police officer, brave and courageous… His friends and family are shocked and devastated by his…

What a week that was! As part of our very special interactive Mother’s Day issue, team HELLO! had a lot of fun at Facebook’s London HQ, with a packed schedule of Facebook Live interviews with celebs including Kimberley Walsh, Giovanna Fletcher and Louise Redknapp. And it was fab. I loved visiting the Facebook offices, where a few of us were hot-desking for the week. They were just as modern and cool as I thought they would be, with inspirational quotes hanging on the walls, fridges full of drinks, a table tennis table in the foyer and a wall of (free!) pick’n’mix sweets. I also really enjoyed getting in front of the camera and doing a bit of presenting. We were given a proper TV-style studio for our Facebook Lives and…

‘If you have ongoing back pain problems, painkillers should be used to settle your symptoms to allow you to do your stretches and exercise’ When it comes to easing the agony of back pain, do traditional painkillers deserve to go to the back of the queue? Recent studies published in the British Medical Journal and in The Lancet found no evidence that paracetamol offers an effective treatment for back pain. This is despite the fact that almost all clinical treatment guidelines recommend the use of this over-the-counter analgesic as the first line of defence against back pain. Now another study has cast doubt on the use of aspirin and ibuprofen, too. The research, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases , found that only one in six patients treated…

His devoted dad has had no problems getting into the swing of life as a family man. So when three-year-old Eric Cowell asked his X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent judge dad Simon and mum Lauren Silverman for a lift to the ice-cream parlour, he got a resounding “yes”. Holding hands and smiling as he walked and swung between his parents in sunny Beverly Hills (above and right), the irrepressible youngster was on a high even before he devoured the sweet treat. Simon will doubtless be hoping that BGT is flavour of the month when the programme returns to UK screens later this spring. The 11th outing of the hit ITV series has already started filming, with Simon and fellow judges David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden keen to…

More used to being a headliner than the support act, Louis Tomlinson was content to be a face in the crowd at James Arthur’s recent concert at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Seated in one of the venue’s boxes with his fashion blogger girlfriend Eleanor Calder and his assistant (and childhood friend) Oli Wright, the former One Direction singer watched fellow The X Factor alumnus James perform a sell-out show. Louis then left hand in hand with Eleanor (above). The couple first got together in 2011 and dated for four years before announcing their split in March 2015. However, they reportedly reunited following the death of the singer’s mother Johannah in December and the breakdown of his relationship with US actress Danielle Campbell weeks later. While the matching pair enjoyed…

‘I have seen food trends from rationing in the war to molecular gastronomy, and nothing makes me more annoyed than “clean eating”’ New Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith (left) takes food fads off the menu ‘It’s very civilised here. There’s something about the English not wanting to offend anyone. And egos don’t go mad the way they can do in America’ Line of Duty actress Thandie Newton says working in the US can be criminal ‘The mirror is a shocking thing to find yourself standing in front of, thinking, “Wait a minute, I am still in my 20s, aren’t I?”’ Actor Griff Rhys Jones, 63, reflects on the relentless passing of time ‘In the past I’ve either been too young, too busy or too dazed and confused to…

ALEC’S KIDS SHOW HIM WHO’S BOSS Their dad might be a handsome Hollywood hotshot with a host of hit films and an Oscar nomination under his belt, but it was Alec Baldwin’s three-year-old daughter Carmen and 21-month-old son Rafael who stole the show when the family, including Alec’s wife Hilaria, attended the premiere in New York last week of animated children’s movie The Boss Baby (right). Alec, who voices the eponymous suit-wearing baby, could not conceal his amusement when his little girl, dressed in a striped jumpsuit and pink shoes, enchanted onlookers by dancing on the carpet (above and above left). Rafael, meanwhile, channelled his dad’s latest screen character in a smart black suit and tie. Posting a photo on Instagram of her son pointing at…

‘She loved having people around. She’d always say, “Stay for lunch”’ Working with one of the most recognisable faces of the 20th century might have proved daunting for even the most experienced of makeup artists. But beauty guru Mary Greenwell recalls how her first encounter with the Princess of Wales was anything but. “She walked into the studio and she was so easygoing, charming and sweet… so lovely,” Mary tells HELLO! . “We had just the most normal chat.” Mary had been booked to work alongside hairstylist Sam McKnight for Diana’s striking 1990 Vogue cover shoot with photographer Patrick Demarchelier and recalls how the 29-year-old Princess quickly entrusted her image to the team. “We were like a little family really,” Mary says. “So she felt comfortable with us. She was…

The Duchess of Cambridge has spoken candidly about the “overwhelming experience” of becoming a parent, saying that she shares the same insecurities as ordinary mums up and down the country. In a frank account of her own experience of parenthood, she said: “Becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However, at times it has also been a huge challenge, even for me who has support at home that most mothers do not. Nothing can really prepare you for the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother… Your fundamental identity changes overnight. You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual to suddenly being a mother, first and foremost. “And yet there is no rule book, no right or wrong – you…

‘I have always been with somebody… Because of that, I’m learning now how to be alone’ Arriving at the premiere of her latest film in Paris last week, actress Scarlett Johansson flashed a huge Hollywood smile on the red carpet alongside her Ghost in the Shell co-stars. Dressed to kill in a black feathered skirt by Azzedine Alaïa over a chevron patterned sequinned minidress by the same Tunisian-born couturier, she showed no sign of the stresses and strains of her life. The 32-year-old says shooting the new film, a live-action remake of the acclaimed 1995 Japanese anime of the same name, was tough. Set in 2070, the movie sees her play a cyber-enhanced soldier who uncovers disturbing secrets about her own past. “I grew a lot making this film,” she…

Vitamin A is essential to skin health – and a real problem solver. In skincare it can come in two forms – retinol in cosmetics and retinoic acid in a prescription cream or gel, used since the 1970s to treat acne. But the wonder ingredient was also found to treat fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and rosacea – some even say the early stages of certain skin cancers. Retinoic acid was developed in the late 1960s by Dr Albert Kligman, professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania, as an acne treatment. Albert and his colleague Dr James Leyden noticed that it also improved wrinkles and skin tone in acne patients and Albert eventually patented Renova, the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved topical treatment for wrinkles and fine…

When Professor Tim Spector started talking about the role that our gut bacteria can have on general health and wellbeing, people listened. As a respected professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College in London, he was the founder of the ground-breaking TwinsUK registry of adult twins, which investigates how environmental and genetic factors influence ageing. So when Professor Spector turned his attention to gut health, he was taken very seriously. He crowdfunded his British Gut project in 2014 and, in the first couple of years, thousands of people paid to have their microbiome mapped from samples they sent in. Your microbiome is the set of bacteria and other microbes living in your body, mainly in the intestines. There are trillions of them, weighing up to 2kg. They are essential not…
