‘What sort of lifestyle do we lead? One that’s quite unique’ Annachiara If opposites attract, then business-savvy Annachiara Zoppas and tattooed, daredevil freestyle cyclist Vittorio Brumotti were well and truly made for each other. While fashion-forward Annachiara is at the centre of her Italian family’s booming San Benedetto soft drinks and mineral water empire, overseeing PR and marketing, Vittorio prefers to throw caution – and his long black locks – to the wind. His string of death-defying feats and extreme stunts has seen him riding his trial bike across the world and into the Guinness World Records book an incredible ten times. ‘We’re passionate travellers and we’ve essentially made a fantastic luxury suite for our needs’ Annachiara London-educated Annachiara has a “very serious and highly organised life in business”, in…

On what Amelia – whose first name is actually Katya – described as the “happiest day of my life”, her boyfriend of 11 years popped the question in a fairytale proposal in South Africa, the country in which she grew up with her twin sister Lady Eliza, Kitty and their younger brother Louis – now Viscount Althorp.

‘Since being a dad, football has become way more important to me’ He is President of the Football Association and the beautiful game has always played an active and important role in his life. So last week’s flurry of football events was right up the Duke of Cambridge’s street. It began on the Sunday when his beloved Aston Villa – whom he took his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte to watch for their first Premiership match last October – survived relegation. Prince William couldn’t hide his delight when a 1-1 draw with West Ham United in the last game of the season meant Villa stayed in football’s top flight. The Duke retweeted a video posted by the overjoyed team, showing them singing and dancing to Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline…

‘The royal connection is important. They can’t eclipse the royal family’ is the editor in chief of Majesty magazine and author of a new biography of the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip Revealed: A Man of His Century, which will be published by Simon & Schuster in October The Queen has left the door open for Harry and Meghan to return to their royal roles, but I don’t think they ever had any intention of coming back. I know Harry wanted out and once they made the break, that was it. But I don’t agree it’s all over for Harry, as some have suggested. At some stage he will have to bring Archie to the UK to see his grandparents and I think he will be dead keen to see…

It’s five years since a heavily pregnant Bianca Balti strutted down the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk to Mama by the Spice Girls. It was touching and momentous and, while she wasn’t the first pregnant model on the runway – Jourdan Dunn wore custom-made Jean Paul Gaultier for her bump in 2009 – it’s Bianca’s glow that people remember even now. The 36-year-old Italian model has been juggling her career with motherhood practically from day one. Modelling, she says, “came as a surprise and never in a million years had I thought I’d be successful”. She was quickly scooped up by Dolce & Gabbana and soon after, she became pregnant with her first child, Matilde, now 13, with then-husband, photographer Christian Lucidi. Since then, Bianca has hit the runway for the…

The jewel in its crown is newcomer Tanya Maniktala, who is being described as a star in the making – and not even she can quite believe how her life has turned around. “Every day on set felt like a dream – from the cars to the sets and costumes.

An English literature graduate of the University of Delhi, Tanya, 23, was working at an advertising agency when a friend…

Buying a house was supposed to be an adventure, Amanda had always thought. Of course, it was up there in the top five most stressful things in life, but, like with childbirth, the pluses are supposed to wipe out all the negatives immediately after the event. Unless, of course, you’re swapping your beautiful six-bedroom, three reception, 5,000sq ft mansion with his-and-hers dressing rooms, infrared sauna and bespoke kitchen (complete with Calacatta marble worktops and built-in Sage coffee machine) for something a third of the size, with half the charm, in the throes of a messy divorce. Amanda looks around at her new kingdom. It’s the first time she’s been inside since the day the estate agent took her to see it. She’d half-listened to him drone on about the potential…

The Queen beamed with delight last week as she attended the virtual unveiling of a new portrait. It was another royal first for Her Majesty as she took part in the big reveal via videocall. Miriam Escofet’s painting was commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as a “lasting tribute” to Her Majesty’s service to diplomacy. During the virtual presentation, the Queen showed she still has a fine eye for detail. Miriam said afterwards: “She seemed to react very positively to it. She was smiling, asking how long it took and if I had any more projects on the go after this. When I explained certain elements of the painting, the teacup, she made some amusing comments. She said: But there’s no tea in the cup.’” PUT IN THE PICTURE…

‘Life is just wonderful. There really couldn’t be more love in our house right now’ Spencer Welcoming us into their London home for the first time since becoming a family of four, Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews are radiating the sort of happiness that only comes from becoming parents to a beautiful newborn. “Life is just wonderful.

It has been a real-life drama that has dominated the showbiz headlines. For the past three weeks, London’s High Court has seen fans clamouring to catch a glimpse of Hollywood actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard as they testified in a £1m libel case. But the curtain came down on the trial last week, with Johnny’s ex-wife Amber delivering an emotional statement on the steps of the court.

While the red carpet stayed firmly rolled up, the stars were glamming up in a big way for the small screen’s Bafta Television Awards last week.

Gigi Hadid showed a bold lip and eye can work together backstage at Missoni’s autumn/winter2020/21 show. Forming a perfect frame are the 25-year-old model’s eyebrows, which she’s careful to leave natural, although she says: “If I do want to fill them in, Maybelline has a really good product called Brow Drama.” Gigi has the same less-is-more approach to her locks, saying: “I don’t wash my hair every day, which is what keeps it healthy because that way it doesn’t dry out.”…

Few places are as important to Lulu Figueroa as her mother’s family estate, Santiago, just outside Jerez, a town in southern Spain famed for its sherry. A beautiful retreat in lush gardens, Santiago was acquired by Lulu’s grandparents – Beltrán Domecq, a member of one of Spain’s biggest sherry dynasties, and Ana Cristina Williams Mildward – when it was a ramshackle casa de vi–a (house in the vineyards). Her grandfather imbued Santiago with life and style, building the well and a swimming pool and planting palm trees. Lulu remembers glorious summers playing with her cousins; and today her own son Ciro (with husband, composer Adrián Saavedra, whom she married in 2016) loves the estate’s magic. What makes the house special, Lulu? “I remember spending hours by the pool with my…
