The hard-working royal and wife of King Abdullah II looked dazzling in a red embroidered traditional gown from label Kanz, by Amman designer Maha Khader, as she sat and chatted with the women (above).

Looking fabulous in a dark tan two-piece, model and TV presenter Vogue, 33, carried her one-year-old son along the beach, while businessman and TV personality Spencer, 31, displaying impressive abs, strolled by her side.

They were backstage before, in the interval and afterwards, and they loved it. They said it was their favourite thing…

RACHEL RILEY Pregnancy scare after online abuse Expectant first-time mum Rachel Riley said last week that online abuse from anti-Semitic trolls had an effect on her unborn child. The Countdown star, 33, said she had been the victim of a Twitter storm after she criticised the Labour Party’s handling of anti-Semitism within its ranks. “I was very stressed and upset and my baby stopped wriggling for a couple of days. At that point you think: Nah,’” she said. “I realised that however mentally strong I am, there’s adrenaline, there’s hormones that go through your body and now I’m sharing them. I absolutely don’t need to give that to my baby.” The star, who is married to Strictly Come Dancing professional Pasha Kovalev, is expected to give birth to their first…

In the week some of those closest to Kate told HELLO! how beautifully she has grown into her role as our future Queen, the Duchess was in her element in Southwark, South London, as she met youngsters and parents who are being helped by the Family Nurse Partnership, a home visiting service for first-time young mums and families.

‘It’s nice to have been part of Harry and Meghan’s love story’ As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrive in Cape Town this week at the start of their ten-day tour of southern Africa, the eyes of the fashion world will be focused on Meghan’s wardrobe. The clothes and accessories the Duchess wears routinely sell out in hours and few know the value of this so-called “Meghan effect” better than jeweller Maya Brenner. Her business sky-rocketed in late 2016 after the future Duchess was pictured wearing one of her designs while buying flowers in Toronto. “Within hours, the phones were ringing off the hook,” says Maya. “Every news outlet in the world was trying to get information about the necklace – it was insane. Then the orders started coming…

Make-up artist Pati Dubroff wanted actress Margot Robbie to have a “hot summer Seventies vibe” for the recent premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, so she used Soleil Tan de Chanel as a bronzing base. To make sure her foundation always looks seamless, 29-year-old Margot says: “I use an eyebrow brush or toothbrush to brush it into my hairline so that it all blends. Because I have blonde hair but tanned skin, if I don’t blend it, it looks gross.”…

When Katherine Kelly first read the script for her latest TV drama she was immediately hooked. “It was a page-turner in the way a novel is,” says the award-winning actress of Netflix’s Criminal, a 12-part series spanning four countries, with three episodes apiece set in the UK, France, Germany and Spain. Each episode is a standalone story that takes place within the confines of a police interview suite and focuses on the intense psychological warfare at play. “I was on the edge of my seat watching episode one – and I’d been there,” says Katherine. “It is not a show where you can be doing anything else – you can’t be shopping on your phone while you watch it because you will miss something. “You are meeting the suspect at…

The Queen was said to have been left with “an amount of displeasure” last week after former Prime Minister David Cameron revealed that he had asked Her Majesty to intervene in the referendum on Scottish independence. David made the claim in a BBC documentary broadcast to coincide with the release of his memoirs. “I remember conversations I had with my private secretary and he had with the Queen’s private secretary and I had with the Queen’s private secretary, not asking for anything that would be in any way improper or unconstitutional, but just a raising of the eyebrow… we thought would make a difference,” he said. The Queen later said she hoped “people would think very carefully about the future” before voting – widely seen as an indication she was…

PENNY JUNOR, royal biographer ‘The Duchess has grown in confidence because she’s become much more familiar with the job and has been bolstered and boosted by the reaction of the media and the people she’s meeting and working with. I think William is absolutely blessed to have found an extraordinary woman to do this. I look at her and think she’s a very fulfilled woman. She’s loving being a mother, she’s got three happy lovely children, she’s doing a job she enjoys, and as far as I can see she hasn’t let the whole thing go to her head, and I would put that down to her own mother keeping her feet on the ground and being there to remind her that she is just another woman like the rest…

You’re there for each other in those…

It’s back! Strictly Come Dancing has returned and nothing excites us more than the prospect of all those feathers and sequins shimmying across the dancefloor. Sinead will be frantically working behind the scenes, but I’ll be curled up on the sofa in front of a log fire, watching all the dance drama unfold.

She’s one of our most popular TV personalities as well as a best-selling author, motivational speaker and charity campaigner, but when Katie Piper was attacked in 2008 – a former boyfriend had sulphuric acid thrown in her face – she thought her dreams of a TV and modelling career were over. “When I got burnt I knew that I would never be considered as classically beautiful ever again,” she tells HELLO! in our exclusive interview. But Katie has become one of haircare brand Pantene’s Power Squad, with her face on huge billboards “and not airbrushed in any way”, she says proudly. “We talk about good and bad hair days, but it’s more than vanity. It’s about empowerment and feeling capable.” Here, the 35-year-old tells us how beauty goes beyond appearance…
