‘It was a complete surprise to see Letizia wearing my earrings. It’s a mystery how she got them’ She’s one of the most glamorous European royals and, like many of us when on holiday, Queen Letizia of Spain likes to find a unique little something to add to her wardrobe – the perfect reminder of a carefree time. She had just the thing during her family’s traditional summer break on Majorca: earrings in the shape of tiny golden prawns, which, the first time they appeared curled delicately around the style-savvy royal’s lobes three years ago, caused a fashion frenzy. Fans were frantic to know where they came from and soon, jeweller Helena Nicolau’s phone started ringing off the hook in her home on the island’s capital, Palma. “It was like…

It’s the nation’s best-loved Saturday night entertainment show. And, smiling brightly as she arrived at rehearsals last week, reigning pro champion Oti Mabuse looks as thrilled as Strictly Come Dancing’s millions of fans that the sequin-studded extravaganza is coming back to our screens this autumn – despite initial fears it might fall victim to the pandemic. The star, who won last year’s series with Kelvin Fletcher, greeted her fellow pros outside the Buckinghamshire hotel where HELLO! understands they are isolating together for a fortnight so that they can hit the studio as “one household” to record the group dances. There were smiles and big hugs all round with Dianne Buswell and Anton Du Beke throwing their arms around one another and Neil Jones beaming as he pulled up on his…

‘We wanted drama. St Paul’s is vast so it couldn’t have been a quiet little dress’ He co-designed Princess Diana’s wedding dress, creating a fashion tour de force that remains one of the most powerful images in royal history. And as TV audiences eagerly wait to see the wedding recreated in series four of The Crown , David Emanuel tells HELLO! how he shared his inside knowledge of that day on the set of the award-winning Netflix show. “I’m a huge fan of The Crown ,” says David, who acted as a consultant for the wedding scenes. “I went into the studio and talked them through, saying: Don’t forget to do this.’ I met all the seamstresses on it – about 15 or 20 – and they were very excited…

North Zealand STAY Hotel Hornbaekhus marries mid-century cool with beach-house charm: light-drenched lounging spaces, gilt-framed oil paintings and terracotta pots spilling over with pink geraniums. Friendly staff, candlelit suppers among the trees and bedrooms with whimsical Josef Frank wallpaper, tongue-and-groove panelling and colour-pop cushions ( 2 ) are a dream to retreat to after a day of beaching and forest frolics. TASTE Begin the morning in The Little Café’s garden ( 1 ), sipping coffee from mismatched china cups while eating toast with tart lemon curd. Come lunchtime, the dishes at farm restaurant Rabarbergaarden are virtuous and palate-pleasing, featuring the likes of pickled herring with soured cream and rye crunch. Fancy something sweet? Hot foot it to Bagt in Gilleleje for a sticky kanelbullar (cinnamon bun) or grab a cream…

Doing their bit to help the sport world return to normal, Zara and Mike Tindall gave their support to a revolutionary rapid Covid-19 test last week – and the result was negative. The couple were taking part in a new VHealth Passport initiative developed by Manchester-based VST Enterprises, for which they are ambassadors. With results delivered in under ten minutes, the digital health passport could be used to check the health of sports fans in the days before a major event, allowing crowds into stadiums and arenas once more. “This is a really exciting new technology,” Zara said. “For those working on events, including support staff, volunteers and the fans themselves, it gives the confidence to come back to the sports we love and have the big events running again.”…

‘The Queen is very much at home there. It’s a place she’s known from the age of ten and is a home from home’ After she shielded within its historic walls for the duration of lockdown, HELLO! can reveal that, in an unparalleled move, the Queen will make Windsor Castle her royal HQ for the foreseeable future. The 94-year-old monarch, who is on her annual summer holiday at Balmoral, usually returns to her administrative base at Buckingham Palace after her break in Scotland. However, during the coronavirus pandemic and while the Palace is undergoing extensive renovations, the 11th-century Windsor fortress will become her main residence until the threat of infection has passed. “This is unprecedented because Covid-19 is unprecedented,” Dickie Arbiter, her former press spokesman and author of On Duty…

It is a piece of art that will mean so much to so many, but none more so than the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex (insets right). It was announced last week that three and a half years after being commissioned by the brothers, artist Ian Rank-Broadley’s statue to commemorate their mother Diana, Princess of Wales will be installed in the Sunken Gardens of Kensington Palace (right) on 1 July 2021 – the day that would have been her 60th birthday. “Our mother touched so many lives,” Princes William and Harry said in 2017, announcing the commission. “We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy.…

There’s a good reason why Jen Atkin has been named the most influential hairstylist in the world. Not only is she the brains behind the Ouai haircare line and the creator of Mane Addicts, the online haircare magazine, she’s the woman behind the enviable locks of stars such as Bella Hadid, Chrissy Teigen and Hailey Bieber.

Mojave Ghost has been a best-seller for them and our Super Dry Shampoo has been…

‘I’ve had a wonderful first 50 years of my life and I look forward to the next 50’ It’s hard to believe that one of the most famous and successful supermodels of her generation turned 50 last week. With her striking blue eyes, porcelain skin and chiselled cheekbones, Claudia Schiffer looks as luminous now as she did when she made her catwalk debut for Chanel haute couture three decades ago. “I’ve had a wonderful first 50 years of my life and I look forward to the next 50,” she tells HELLO!, in our special interview to celebrate her birthday. Still modelling, it is Claudia’s timeless appeal as one of the original supermodels – along with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Helena Christensen – for which she is most…

‘The feelgood factor is more important than ever this year. We can bring that energy’ Motsi Mabuse has a spring in her step. Bringing her signature whirlwind of energy, enthusiasm and warmth to the set of our exclusive photoshoot, the South African star is dancing on air as she confirms to HELLO! she will be waltzing back onto our screens to resume her role as judge on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing . “I’m excited to breathe in the Strictly air again and to be part of the buzz,” the professional dancer tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview – her first this year – ahead of polishing up her score paddles for the hit BBC1 dancing show, scheduled to air later this autumn. “I’m very thankful that Strictly have asked…

‘On my birthday… I could not possibly ask for more’ Possessing a beauty that is so much more than skin deep, it is perhaps not surprising that as Queen Rania of Jordan turns 50 this week, a big display of fuss and fanfare is furthest from her mind. Instead, as she marks this personal milestone, the thoughts of the royal mum of four, whose integrity, strength and commitment to tackling social injustice have made her one of the world’s most respected and influential women, are with her people and the huge challenges faced due to the pandemic. “It has been a very difficult year, but I am thankful that my country is doing all it can to limit the spread of Covid-19 within our borders and put our people’s health…

Sitting in the Californian sunshine with her rescue dogs at her feet, the Duchess of Sussex last week told of her joy at returning home to the US and praised her husband the Duke for being a good role model and setting a “beautiful example” to their 16-month-old son Archie. Meghan looked happy and relaxed as she joined US feminist Gloria Steinem for a “backyard chat”. And while he wasn’t in the discussion, Prince Harry, 35, had a message for the journalist before the interview, telling her: “You know I’m a feminist too, right, Gloria?” Discussing this, Meghan, 39, said: “I look at our son and what a beautiful example that he gets to grow up with a father who is so comfortable owning that as part of his own…

A PERFECT OUTLOOK A great image can be marvelled at come rain or shine, and this selection from the photos shortlisted for this year’s Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) Weather Photographer of the Year competition is sure to blow you away. Hopefuls include the blue ice of Lake Baikal in Russia (above), a real gem of a pic from Alexey Trofimov, together with photographer Vu Trung Huan’s eerie image of Long Coc Tea Hill’s mist patterns in Vietnam (right). Elsewhere, Francisco Negroni captured a perfect lenticular cloud in El Chaltén in Argentina (above left), a theme echoed in Boris Jordan’s bubbling cloud formation taken near Leipzig, Germany (far left). Meanwhile, US storm-chaser Tori Jane Ostberg will certainly have the judges twisting and turning with her image of a tornado in Wray,…

‘I may not look like a stereotypical CEO but that’s absolutely fine; I don’t need validation to be successful’ Founding two successful businesses, becoming a homeowner and completing a degree at Oxford University are huge achievements at any age. But incredibly, social media star Grace Beverley accomplished all three before she turned 23. She began during her first year at St Peter’s College, when she founded her first business, now called Shreddy, selling fitness equipment. It propelled her on the path to success. “It was very full-on,” Grace tells HELLO! as she invites us into her newly renovated London home for this exclusive photoshoot. “It was a baptism of fire into the business world, but I wouldn’t go back and change anything. It taught me a lot.” Grace launched her…
