‘Sometimes I think that in this country, my generation are the last ones to really have class’ ‘My son said, “Mother, perhaps you’d enjoy doing some TV. You’re on screen a little bit, perhaps one or two scenes…”’ Patricia Altschul bursts out laughing and says: “To think that, after an eventful life, I decided it was time to settle down quietly here in Charleston, read and eat bonbons.” Instead, this charismatic Southern belle found herself thrust into the limelight thanks to Southern Charm , a reality TV show watched by millions of viewers in 50 countries. Now in its fourth season, it follows a group of friends from South Carolina’s most distinguished families. Patricia is the group’s grande dame and her home is one of its most elegant settings.…

Some competitors did a double take on seeing Kate and the Princes handing out water The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry added a touch of royal sparkle to the London Marathon, cheering on the runners and rewarding them with high fives and bottles of water. William, Kate and Harry were mobbed as they joined crowds lining the streets of the capital, where almost 40,000 athletes turned out to complete the 26.2 mile run across the city. Wearing fleeces and huge smiles, they shouted words of encouragement, posed for selfies and took turns to wave a giant foam hand from the sidelines. Even being squirted with water by one cheeky runner – and then by Harry – didn’t dampen William’s spirits. Having sounded a klaxon to start the…

With her acting career going from strength to strength it seems unlikely that many of Cara Delevingne’s scenes end up on the cutting room floor. However, the same cannot be said for her hair. Shooting her latest film, Life in a Year, in Toronto, Cara was spotted on location with a dramatically different look after shaving her head (left and inset) to play a teen diagnosed with cancer. The model-turned-actress frequently goes to new lengths with her hair and last month had the fashion crowd drooling over a dramatic white blonde bob (right). The style chameleon also recently uploaded a video, filmed mid-chop, to Instagram Stories, later posting a photo of her new pink-tinged pixie crop. Off set, Cara is making the most of her time in Canada. Besides visiting…

Actress Liv Tyler enjoyed a change of scene last week when she headed to Tokyo to open Belstaff’s first Japanese flagship store. Liv, who is an ambassador for the British heritage brand and has collaborated on two capsule collections for the company, joined staff and customers at the new outlet in the capital’s super-chic Ginza district. Dressed in floral separates from her latest range (right), Liv took part in a traditional kagami biraki opening ceremony, smashing a barrel of sake with a wooden hammer. Chronicling her adventures on Instagram, the mum of three posted videos and photos from the five-day trip. “Tokyo mornings hard at work,” she captioned one snap, taken before an appearance on Japanese breakfast TV. There was also time to fit in some sightseeing in the city,…

There was a joint personal best for British cycling’s ultimate golden couple when Laura and Jason Kenny collected his-and-hers CBEs at Buckingham Palace last week. With ten Olympic gold medals between them, the pair received the latest additions to their trophy cabinet from the Princess Royal (right), an Olympian herself in 1976, with Laura calling it “a huge honour”. The Olympic champion, who competed under her maiden name of Trott, added: “I almost feel like I don’t deserve it… all I do is ride a bike.” Jason, who has six Olympic golds, described his Palace outing as “mega” and posed proudly with his pregnant wife – each holding their matching honours (left). The couple, who married last September, will welcome first child this summer. “I’m going with the flow,” Laura…

HESTON BLUMENTHAL Chef’s divorce is finalised Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal and his estranged wife Susanna are officially divorced – six years after they split up. The couple had been married for 28 years, having met as teenagers, with Heston, 50, crediting Susannna for much of his early restaurant success. But their marriage ran into trouble and they separated in 2011. Susanna – who goes by her nickname of Zanna – was last week granted a decree nisi on the grounds that the marriage had irretrievably broken down. Heston, who has three grown-up children with his former wife, said recently that relations between him and his ex were improving. “We’ve done it. It’s only when it gets resolved that you realise the tension. I feel quite different now.” ERIN MORAN Happy…

With a pretty pastel Philip Somerville pillbox hat perfectly complementing her beautiful bouquet of pink flowers, the Princess of Wales is full of the joys of spring at Howe Barracks in Canterbury, Kent. The official purpose of the visit, in May 1995, was to present new colours (military flags) to the 2nd Battalion, the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment – affectionately dubbed “Di’s Guys”. But as always Diana made time to meet the soldiers’ families, cutting short her lunch and throwing a black cashmere wrap over her pink Versace suit to brave the chilly weather. This image, the latest in our series of iconic photos to mark the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death, was taken as she was encouraged to look skywards by an excited little boy, though what had…

With plans for Prince George and Princess Charlotte to take centre stage at the wedding of the year later this month, the eyes of the world will be on the cute royal siblings as they perform their important duties. The Duchess of Cambridge’s sister Pippa Middleton has chosen niece Charlotte as a bridesmaid and nephew George as a pageboy when she marries hedge fund manager James Matthews in Berkshire on 20 May. It won’t be the first time that young royals have played prominent roles at weddings; many have made their own star turns as children – with mixed results. For while some rose to the occasion without a hiccup, others will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. And it’s likely that the Duke of Cambridge and his wife…

When Giovanna Fletcher and her musician husband Tom celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary next week, they’ll do it with their boys Buzz, three, and Buddy, one, in a rather magical location. “We’re going to be in Disney in Florida, so I think, hopefully, Nana and Grandad will have the boys and we’ll go out for a nice romantic meal and watch the fireworks,” she tells HELLO!. And the secret to their enduring romance? “Tom and I still laugh a lot,” she says. “But we do argue as well. I’ve got that Italian side and I’m from Essex, so I’ve got a bit of fire. People are like, ‘Oh you two are so perfect, you never argue.’ I’m like, ‘Yes we do. We just don’t put that on Instagram.’” Another key…

TV presenter Gethin Jones started out hosting kids’ shows on Welsh language channel S4C before going on to present Blue Peter. The Cardiff-born 39-year-old, who was once engaged to soprano Katherine Jenkins, came third on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007. Currently single, he lives in southwest London. What’s your first TV memory? A Welsh language show called Wil Cwac Cwac. It was about a duck and his adventures. What’s your favourite TV show ever? Growing up, my sister and I were obsessed with Neighbours and Home and Away. To prove what a geeky pair we were, my sister would have cello lessons during one and I would have violin lessons during the other. Each half term we would swap notes and then start watching the other. Which show do you…

‘The best thing about working together is that we share experiences’ Valentina ‘I like to stick to a classic look on formal occasions’ Chiara There must have been more than a few eyebrows raised in judgment when, four years into studying for a degree in international law, Chiara Ferragni threw in the towel to put all her energies into fashion blogging. Eight years on and that blog, titled The Blonde Salad in homage to her hair colour and mixed bag of interests, is now one of the most successful lifestyle websites with thousands of page hits a month. With her model looks, savvy business sense and a divine wardrobe, Italian-born Chiara, who turns 30 this month, has also attracted nine million followers on Instagram and…

Every new parent knows that blackout blinds are the key when it comes to getting their baby to sleep soundly through the night. But what we are increasingly learning is that light control is also vital for older children and adults – and what’s most disturbing our sleep is the artificial light coming from our gadgets. Studies have shown that in general we all sleep for two hours less a night than we did in the 1960s. And it’s thought that our smartphones, computers, tablets and even LED lighting are responsible. Levels of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin normally rise in the evening and peak in the middle of the night, but artificial light – especially shorter-wavelength blue light – suppresses its production. Modern gadgets emit a higher concentration of blue…

‘The Duchess of Cambridge has shone a bright light on the importance of maternal mental health and the early years’ After my challenging journey into parenthood, I founded Best Beginnings to inform and empower parents of all backgrounds to look after their own mental and physical health and to help them maximise their babies’ potential. This year is Best Beginnings’ tenth birthday and we are celebrating in style! Our involvement in Heads Together is raising awareness and vital funds for our work, enabling us to support tens of thousands more families across the UK. For some years now, Best Beginnings has been working with parents and professionals and other charities, including the Maternal Mental Health Alliance. I am passionate about the power of collaboration to drive positive change. So you…

From the vibrant hues of her coat and Gucci fur slippers to her bouquet and elegant cake, friends and family made everything rosy for Gigi Hadid on her 22nd birthday last week. The model spent the day with her nearest and dearest, among them boyfriend Zayn Malik, younger sister Bella, mum Yolanda Foster and her BFF, model Karlie Kloss. One of the first to post a birthday message on social media was fellow model Bella (below left, with Gigi at a Versace show last year), who shared a cute snapshot of the two siblings as children (below right). “I didn’t know anyone could be so generous, smart, funny, talented, hard working, artistic, loving, respectful AND beautiful all at the same damn time!!!” she wrote on Instagram. “You are my other…

Eighteen years after first taking a break from the band that made his name, Ronan Keating was last week back in the boy zone – thanks to his new baby. Sharing his joy at the new arrival, the singer posted a sweet photo on Instagram of wife Storm cradling their son in her arms (left). Describing himself as “incredibly excited”, Ronan added: “We’re all bursting with love… Feeling very blessed to be daddy to this little man and the luckiest man in the world to be husband to such a strong, loving and warm-hearted woman and add to my beautiful family.” Storm also shared a photo of father and son enjoying a “first squeeze” (top right). First to meet the newborn were Ronan’s three children from his previous marriage, Jack,…

On screen he has specialised in portraying baddies, including East End gangsters the Kray twins and criminal Charles Bronson. But last week Tom Hardy proved that in real life he is definitely one of the good guys when he chased an alleged scooter thief near his home in Richmond, south-west London, later making a citizen’s arrest. The actor, most recently on our screens in hit TV drama Taboo (below), witnessed a teenage boy crash the scooter. As the youngster fled the scene, Tom took action, chasing him across a building site and through gardens before eventually restraining him until police turned up on the scene. “It was… like he’d switched to superhero mode,” one local resident, who witnessed the incident, told a newspaper. Two suspects were later arrested on suspicion…

For the first time in more than 40 years, the Queen will preside over a dressed-down State Opening of Parliament, due to changes in her calendar caused by the snap general election. The State Opening usually takes place in May, but with Parliament’s dissolution this week ahead of the election on 8 June, the event has been postponed until 19 June. As this is just two days after Trooping the Colour, it’s been decided that it will be impossible to stage two major ceremonial occasions so close to each other. “Owing to the revised calendar, the State Opening of Parliament will take place with reduced ceremonial elements,” said a Buckingham Palace statement. “Consequently, there will not be a carriage procession, the military presence at the Palace of Westminster will be…

‘George should pour himself a good cup of coffee each morning. It’s really important’ Prince Albert Dad-to-be George Clooney showed he can be a big kid last week at a party for Omega. Official duties ticked off, the actor seized the chance to photobomb a pose between singer Ellie Goulding and the watch company’s chief executive, Raynald Aeschlimann. George, 56 this week, was attending the Lost in Space gala, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Omega Speedmaster, used by every piloted Nasa mission since 1965. He shared the stage at London’s Tate Modern with a childhood hero, 87-year-old former astronaut Buzz Aldrin. “I was eight years old and we were watching [the 1969 moon landing] live on TV as Buzz and Neil [Armstrong] were the first two…

We all have a favourite TV memory. And one of mine is undoubtedly ex-EastEnders star Todd Carty tripping over his ice skates and careering helplessly offstage during an otherwise entirely unremarkable and, frankly, rubbish routine on Dancing on Ice (below). If you haven’t seen it, look on YouTube. It’s comedy gold. And if you have, look again. It’s never not funny. So it was with a smile on my face that I read the news that the fake tan-loving ice-based reality show is going to be making a glorious return to our screens. Jayne Torvill, who, together with her fellow Olympic gold medallist skating partner Christopher Dean (both left) appeared on the show’s nine series, really let the cat out of the bag last week when she said: “I love…

‘It isn’t just about fashion – it’s about bringing the light back into women’s lives’ Lady Natasha Their clientele includes the Duchess of Cambridge and actresses Sienna Miller, Demi Moore and Jessica Alba. Yet behind the exquisite designs and opulent silks of fashion label Beulah, founders Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan are helping vulnerable and trafficked women. As the pair launch their first children’s range and spring/summer 2017 collection – the first to contain outfits block printed by those rescued from modern-day slavery – Lady Natasha tells HELLO! : “This skill provides them with not only the ability to earn a living, but also a stable environment away from the horrors they have experienced.” Dressed in matching geometric print dresses, Natasha, who is pregnant with her second…

Stella Maxwell might be a global citizen – born in Belgium to Irish parents, who raised her in Australia and New Zealand, and currently dividing her time between Los Angeles and New York – but she is most at home in front of the camera. A Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2015 and now the face of Max Factor, things are starting to look very starry for the 26-year-old. HELLO! sat down with Stella to talk all things beauty, fitness and health. Tell us a bit about your beauty routine? “I think the ultimate beauty routine is to drink a lot of water, obviously get enough sleep – preferably more than nine hours – and cleanse. I have a shower every morning, because I like to wake up and feel fresh.…

It’s not difficult to see why Lady Amelia Windsor was dubbed the most beautiful member of the royal family by a society magazine last year. And now the 21-year-old granddaughter of the Duke of Kent has landed a job modelling for upmarket shoe brand Penelope Chilvers, a favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge. The two-minute film sees Amelia strolling through a Spanish village in ripped jeans, camisole top and ankle boots before donning a flamenco dress and knee-high boots: a traditional outfit worn by women on the El Rocío pilgrimage. The brand’s founder spoke last week about why she settled on Amelia, who is studying French and Italian at Edinburgh University, as her new muse. “I’ve known her since she was a little girl and we have become good friends,”…

‘It was the best time of our lives, having family and friends with us from around the world’ Nicky When actress Nicky Whelan moved to Los Angeles from her native Australia to live the Hollywood dream, little did she know she would also find her very own leading man. Now, in a spectacular wedding in the heart of Beverly Hills, the former Neighbours star has married the love of her life, actor/producer Kerry Rhodes, a former NFL American football player. “It was magical, the best time of our lives, having family and friends with us from around the world,” says Nicky of the week-long celebrations at the famous Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard. “We love this hotel – it’s true classic Hollywood to us. We thought it…

There has been no shortage of 1980s bands reforming in recent years: Spandau Ballet, Culture Club and Bros. But the latest has to be the pick of the bunch. Almost three decades after splitting, Keren Woodward, Sara Dallin and Siobhan Fahey (left) have announced that they are reuniting and going back on the road as Bananarama. The trio, who had 25 UK Top 40 hits and a US No. 1 in the nine years they were together, with singles including Cruel Summer, Robert De Niro’s Waiting and Venus, announced the news to listeners of BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show last week. “You think, ‘It’s now or never,’” Keren told host Chris Evans. “So I gave Siobhan a call, putting the idea in her head. I thought it wasn’t going to…

Princess Beatrice (left) has told HELLO! how much her father the Duke of York inspires her – as does her mother Sarah, Duchess of York. “Both my parents are entrepreneurs and, when you look at what they’ve achieved over their lifetimes and their careers and ups and downs and struggles, I’m really proud and I feel very lucky to have them as role models,” she said. Chatting to HELLO! at St James’s Palace in London last week, where Prince Andrew (above with Beatrice) was hosting the final of Pitch@Palace, a pitching and networking event for entrepreneurs, Beatrice talked about her move to New York and her senior role at a software company. “I spend half my time in New York and half my time here,” she said. “At the moment…

‘Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen. Only I can tell my story. Anyone else is a charlatan and a fool’ Pop star Madonna (below left) is hardly singing the praises of a planned movie based on her life story ‘I’ve had a cup of tea with two hands – that’s amazing’ Alex Jones is appreciating some baby-free time as she returns to work on The One Show after her maternity leave ‘We just did the sequel to Mary Poppins and I did a song and dance number on a desk. They do it in one take. Boy, at my age is that a blessing’ Veteran actor Dick Van Dyke, 91, relishes the advances in filming techniques as Mary Poppins makes its return…

‘The Princess filled the garden with laughter, joy and fun, being the life and soul. She was a real personality at Kensington’ There will always be a strong connection between Diana, Princess of Wales and Kensington Palace, her home for 16 years, according to the royal residence’s former head gardener, Graham Dillamore. “You talk to any of our staff and they’ll tell you that she’s still the one person most visitors ask about,” he says. “They want to know, ‘Where are the gardens?’ ‘Where was Diana’s apartment?’ People still fix flowers to the gates on her birthday and on the day she passed away. Those two days are on our calendar.” It seems only fitting that a floral memorial, the White Garden, usually known as the Sunken Garden, has been…

Pippa is sure to be in tiptop shape when she slips into her bridal gown for the ceremony Looking beautifully toned and with that unmistakable twinkle of an excited bride-to-be, Pippa Middleton showed off her perfect pins last week as her bridal health and beauty routine swung into its final phases in preparation for her big day. With just over a fortnight to go before her nuptials on 20 May, the 33-year-old fitness fan enjoyed a workout at the exclusive KX (pronounced “kicks”) gym, just a stone’s throw from the West London home she shares with her fiancé, 41-year-old hedge fund manager James Matthews. And judging by her trim figure, which was set off to a tee in shorts and a fitted top, her hard work is paying off. Grabbing…
