The Queen has urged the British people to “never lose sight of the bigger picture” in a speech widely believed to be a reference to Brexit. As head of state, Her Majesty remains neutral and does not express political views. But her comments, made at a centenary event for the Sandringham Women’s Institute, have been seen as a veiled reference to the ongoing public debate about leaving the European Union. “Reflecting on a century of change, it is clear that the qualities of the WI endure,” she said. “The continued emphasis on patience, friendship, a strong community focus and considering the needs of others, are as important today as they were when the group was founded all those years ago. “Of course, every generation faces fresh challenges and opportunities. As…

With just three months to go until she welcomes her first child, the Duchess of Sussex has been treating fashionistas and her legion of fans to a chic display of natural elegance. While she favours mainly high-end brands, choosing only recently to make a stylish segue into maternity wear, she also champions famous designer friends. Among those closest to her is Victoria Beckham, who attended her wedding last May. Significantly, Meghan selected a white cashmere jumper embroidered with the distinctive “VB” for one of her official engagement photos and continued with her support on Christmas Day – her first as a member of the royal family. With the eyes of the world on her, the Duchess dressed in the British designer’s exquisite creations as she joined the rest of the…

GEORGE ALAGIAH Cancer-hit newsreader back at work BBC newsreader George Alagiah last week returned to work after cancer treatment. George thanked fans on Twitter for their “good wishes” and said he hoped to “slip back into the studio unnoticed”. The 63-year-old News at Six presenter added: “I’m still a cancer patient so will take a while to find a work schedule that fits with ongoing treatment… I’m determined to get behind that studio desk as often as I can.” The newsreader was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2014. He was last seen on screen in December 2017.

Dressed down in ripped jeans and an oversize coat, the Duchess of Sussex looked chic and casual as she stepped out for a low-key business lunch recently with her new deputy press secretary, Christian Jones, one-time speechwriter for former Brexit Secretary David Davis. No doubt the pair had plenty to discuss over their meal at Italian restaurant Chucs in London’s trendy Notting Hill. It serves a variety of pizzas, pasta and grilled fish and meat dishes, though for January it is also offering a special detox menu featuring cleansing juices and superfood salads. While yoga devotee Meghan is disciplined about what she eats during the week, she could be forgiven for taking a more relaxed approach now she has a baby on the way. “I love pasta,” she has said.…

When TV presenter Matt Johnson met life coach Ben Bidwell by chance on a flight to Ibiza, their encounter heralded a fruitful partnership neither could have imagined. “Our worlds collided and it was the start of something very special,” Ben tells us when he and Matt visit HELLO! HQ for an exclusive chat and to film a Facebook Live video. “Matt was desperate to get a power nap in before Ibiza but I didn’t let him,” says Ben. “The conversation flowed and we went quite deep into what mattered to us both and it became apparent that we had a very similar perspective on things.” Adds former This Morning presenter Matt: “The beautiful thing about this partnership is that it happened organically and serendipitously.” After Ben persuaded Matt, 36, to…

Naomi Campbell tweeted “#perfection” after seeing the Dior Homme show at Paris Fashion Week Men’s and that pretty much sums up her look, too. The British supermodel revealed her new shorter, curly locks at Kim Jones’s highly anticipated third collection for Dior and showed her support for the London-born designer by wearing a grey double-breasted coat from his AW19 collection, which she teamed with silk trousers, velvet heels and a printed top.

It’s estimated that more than half a million people went meat- and dairy-free for January, inspired by star advocates such as Ariana Grande, Venus Williams and Miley Cyrus. Even the Duchess of Sussex is a self-proclaimed part-time vegan. While the emphasis with going vegan is usually on what you eat, vegan beauty is on the rise, too. “Levels of veganism in Britain have quadrupled in the past four years and the growth is among young people and particularly young women,” says Dr Samantha Calvert of the Vegan Society. “This means there is a growing demand for vegan cosmetics and toiletries.” According to The Body Shop, Google searches for “vegan beauty” in the UK have doubled every year since 2012 and more than half of Brits now think vegan when they’re…

Kensington Palace staff are spending hours each week moderating sexist and racist comments directed at the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex, HELLO! can reveal. Vile trolls have made violent threats against the two women, while some fans of Kate are verbally abusing fans of Meghan, and vice versa. This news, along with a rise in abusive comments aimed at Kate and Meghan and their fans on our own social media channels, has prompted HELLO! to launch the #HelloToKindness campaign, championing positivity online. A source told HELLO! : “The Palace has always monitored comments but it’s a hugely time-consuming thing. They can block certain words, but some of it is quite serious. Over the course of last year, with hundreds of thousands of comments, there were two or…

THE QUEEN AND THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH NO HYMN AND HER AT CHURCH Her smile was firmly in place, as was her chill-beating hat, coat and gloves. But there was one thing missing when the Queen (above) attended Sunday service at St Peter’s Church, close to her Sandringham estate: the Duke of Edinburgh. Instead of having her 97-year-old husband by her side, the monarch (left) was accompanied by her son the Duke of York. Prince Philip’s absence followed the recent incident in which the vehicle he was driving was involved in a collision close to the estate, where the royal couple have been staying since before Christmas. The Duke sustained “no injuries of concern” in the crash and Buckingham Palace said “well-wishes were exchanged” between him and the two women…

‘You get a lot of support in the early days, but after the age of one it falls away’ With three children of her own, she knows all too well the pressures that come with parenting. And last week, the Duchess of Cambridge was not afraid to share her own experiences of motherhood. Nine months after she welcomed Prince Louis, a little brother for Prince George, five, and three-year-old Princess Charlotte, Kate, 37, suggested she understood the sense of isolation felt by new mums as she chatted to volunteers on a helpline launched for families last week. “It’s so hard,” she said. “You get a lot of support with the baby as a mother, particularly in the early days, but after the age of one it falls away. “After that…

Proving once again to be the perfect model for her label, designer Victoria Beckham made a colourful statement on the streets of New York last week. In the Big Apple to launch her new athleisure collection for sports giant Reebok, the 44-year old-mum of four used the trip to showcase her latest designs. The former Spice Girl was bang on trend in red trousers and a snakeskin print top to celebrate the new Reebok x Victoria Beckham range with a party at Manhattan restaurant The Flower Shop, along with David, her husband of nearly 20 years. Proudly holding his wife’s hand, the former footballer, 43, kept his look casual, in a grey hoodie and a pair of stonewashed jeans. Making it a family affair, 19-year-old son Brooklyn joined the celebrations,…

He was one of the world’s most influential couturiers, his beautiful designs loved by royalty, aristocracy and celebrities from Princess Margaret and the Duchess of Windsor to ballet dancer Dame Margot Fonteyn and Hollywood sirens Jane Russell and Rita Hayworth. ‘Margaret had the perfect figure for Dior.

The idea for Kalettes came from a desire to create a tastier kale without the tough stalk. The result of crossing kale with Brussels sprouts is a nutty-tasting vegetable that looks like a tiny cabbage with green frilly leaves and streaks of purple. Kalettes contain useful nutrients including betacarotene, vitamin C, vitamin K and omega 3. In season now, they can be steamed, microwaved, stir-fried, boiled or blitzed in a smoothie – after a quick rinse. For more recipe inspiration, visit kalettes.co.uk .…
