Taking a walk along the riverbank close to their home turned into a moment Harry Judd will never forget, when his wife Izzy surprised him with the news they are having another baby – to join daughter Lola, five, and three-year-old son Kit. As the couple share their happiness with HELLO! in this exclusive interview and photoshoot at the family’s home in West London, the McFly drummer tells how Izzy had stopped suddenly during their stroll and asked him to take a photo of her. “She was holding her hands on her tummy, but I didn’t notice at first, even though she was making a heart shape. So, I took the picture and said: There you go,’ and she looked down at her hands. “I was confused at first and…

Beyoncé and Mariah Carey were among the famous faces who tweeted about their relief after a former police officer was convicted of the death of George Floyd. Derek Chauvin (inset above) was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter last week, 11 months after he pinned George (above), 46, to the ground by kneeling on his neck for several minutes during an arrest in Minneapolis. Video footage of the incident led to a wave of protests around the globe, reigniting the Black Lives Matter movement. Following the verdict, Beyoncé tweeted: “Justice for George Floyd. The work continues for true reform,” while Mariah added: “Hallelujah!!!!!!!! A beginning ... a small grain of hope for our future.” Elsewhere in the music world, Katy Perry wrote: “Rest in JUSTICE George Floyd.”…

Daniella Helayel, the designer of Kate’s blue dress, had met Kate before her engagement. ‘My friend said to me: “There’s this lovely girl and she’s dating Prince William and she loves my Issa dress, can she come to your studio?” And that’s how we met. She always knew what suited her, she always had her own style. After the royal photocall, I was at my studio in Chelsea when the phone started ringing non-stop. I had no idea what was going on. The phones went mad; for, like, two days they would not stop ringing, it was crazy. Everyone wanted to wear that dress.’…

‘A royal wedding, it’s amazing. Our country needs it. Our country wants it’ David Beckham This was a very modern royal wedding whose guest list reflected the couple’s wide range of interests and friendships. One of the biggest cheers from the crowds outside Westminster Abbey was for David and Victoria Beckham. “A royal wedding, it’s amazing,” said David, dapper in a Ralph Lauren morning suit, his OBE pinned to his lapel. “Our country needs it. Our country wants it.” Declaring she was “very, very excited” to be at the nuptials, Victoria – six months pregnant with daughter Harper – wore a navy dress of her own design, with Philip Treacy hat and Louboutin heels. Sir Elton John was also greeted with a roar. The star – who had sung at…

Gemma Murray, an embroiderer at the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace, worked on Kate’s gown amid such secrecy, even those closest to her had no idea she was working on a piece of history… ‘The lacework we created was unique; it contained the national flowers – rose, shamrock, thistle, and daffodil – and had to be the highest workmanship. It really helped create that one-off bespoke piece of lace. My fiancé had no idea at all. I turned to him and said: “That lovely dress, what do you think?” He said it was nice so I said: “That’s good – I’ve been working on that.” I think he was quite surprised that I’d been able to keep my mouth shut. Seeing the dress in the abbey……

Hugo Burnand, official w e d d i n g photographer, recalls that his team almost didn’t take the day’s most iconic picture (right). When they arrived back I think there were slightly more well-wishers within the palace than I think anyone had catered for, which delayed them by three minutes – and those three minutes made me pretty nervous. The one with the kids was the one I wanted to take. We had three minutes spare at the end of the photographs; we were looking around at all the people looking at their watches, and then we decided to get on and do it. Catherine sat down and [dress designer] Sarah Burton put the dress out perfectly. I mean I don’t know how she did it so quickly. It…

‘Everybody thinks of plastic surgery as a glamorous speciality, but it requires a lot of different techniques’ You’d imagine that being married to a top plastic surgeon, Eva Alexandrides would be the envy of all her friends. Or at least that the temptation to have a quick nip and tuck here and there would be strong. But she laughs at the suggestion. “To be honest, I work really long hours so I don’t think I’m the envy of anyone,” she says. “Friends say to me: You really need to slow down. When are you going to stop?’ So I probably have fewer treatments than anybody else, despite the easy access.” We are talking to Eva, 45, at the smart Chelsea home she shares with her husband, 54-year-old Dr Yannis Alexandrides,…

When Jane Fallon turned 60 last year, she decided to fully embrace reaching such a landmark age. “I just made this decision to grow old naturally but not particularly gracefully, and it’s liberating,” the novelist tells HELLO! . “The closer I got to my birthday, the happier I was about it. When I was young, men and women were considered over the hill at 60 and women were virtually invisible, but I think now that’s absolutely not true.” ‘I like to show that you can be strong and fit at 60 and blow away some of those myths that still hang around’ It certainly isn’t. Since leaving a successful career as a TV producer, where she worked on shows such as This Life and Teachers , Jane has established herself…

DAVID AND VICTORIA DO THE DOUBLE IN MIAMI The final score was not what they were hoping for, but nobody could fault the team spirit when members of David Beckham’s home squad pitched in to support his football club Inter Miami in their first match of the US season. Taking pride of place in Florida’s DRV PNK Stadium were sons Cruz, 16, and Brooklyn, 22 (both left, with David). Brooklyn was joined by his actress fiancée Nicola Peltz, 26, and future parents-in-law Nelson and Claudia. Making it a true family affair were wife Victoria and nine-year-old daughter Harper, with plenty of hugs in store when Inter scored (inset left). Despite losing 3-2 to LA Galaxy – his old club – David was delighted with the day. “The atmosphere was electric,…

With a twinkle in her eye and her reading glasses in her hands, the Duchess of Cornwall appears in a beautiful new portrait to mark the second series of her online book club. Sitting in the Clarence House morning room, wearing a Fiona Clare dress and with a FitBit on her wrist, Camilla, 73, looks radiant in photographer Jennifer Pattison’s image, taken for the royal’s The Reading Room. In an accompanying video for the group’s Instagram page, the Duchess says: “I’d never been part of a book club, so this is the first book club I’ve ever joined, which is my own. “It’s all a completely new experience and, you know, I’m just so thrilled that other people are getting the pleasure out of it that I do.” Saying she…

GET THE LOOK Dua Lipa channelled the 1990s at this year’s Grammys, pairing shimmery lilac eyeshadow with terracotta lips. The 25-year-old singer, an ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, is known for her bold red-carpet make-up, but off-duty she likes to keep her look more relaxed. “I try not to wear make-up on days I don’t have to, but if I do, it takes me 15 minutes max,” she says.…

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared this photograph of their younger son, taken by his proud mother, to mark his third birthday on 23 April. It shows the little Prince grinning broadly for the camera as he starts at Willcocks Nursery School in South Kensington, London, where his big sister Princess Charlotte also started her education.

‘It will be amazing to all be reunited. I can’t wait for us to be husband and wife’ Like any bride-to-be with a wedding day planned for the summer, Jess Wright has been on tenterhooks, not knowing if she will be able to say “I do” surrounded by family and friends. “I really feel for all brides out there. Every day, we have been back and forth trying to decide what to do – I’ve been driving myself insane with it,” says Jess, whose wedding to fiancé William Lee-Kemp was due to take place in June at an idyllic location on the island of Majorca. With 15 bridesmaids (including her sister, model Natalya, and sister-in-law, actress Michelle Keegan) and her brother – Michelle’s husband, TV star, footballer and radio presenter…

DUA LIPA Delighted to perform for key workers at the Brits Dua Lipa has welcomed news that this year’s Brit Awards will be held in front of a live audience of 4,000 people at the O2 Arena in London, with 2,500 of the tickets going to key workers in the area. “This has been a long tough year for everyone and I’m delighted the night will honour the key worker heroes who have cared for us so well during that time and continue to do so. They are quite simply an inspiration,” said the 25-year-old award nominee, who will also be performing at the 11 May ceremony. “The Brit awards are always special and this will truly make it a night to remember.” Those attending will have to provide proof…

Four days after bidding a final farewell to her husband of 73 years, the Queen marked her 95th birthday last week with a personal message of thanks to well-wishers around the world. Her Majesty, who spent the day privately at Windsor, said she and her family had been “deeply touched” by the tributes paid to the Duke of Edinburgh, who died peacefully, aged 99, on 9 April. In a written message shared by Buckingham Palace, she said: “I have, on the occasion of my 95th birthday today, received many messages of good wishes, which I very much appreciate. “While as a family we are in a period of great sadness, it has been a comfort to us all to see and to hear the tributes paid to my husband, from…

It was the greatest gathering of royals – from Britain and further afield – in recent years. As well as the Queen’s immediate family, 35 members of the Windsor clan were at Westminster Abbey, conveyed from Buckingham Palace in a convoy of silver minibuses. In addition, members of two dozen of the world’s most prominent royal families joined the distinguished throng. Invitations had been sent to the Emperor of Japan, the Kings of Malaysia, Thailand, Tonga, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, as well as the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, and the Sultans of Oman and Brunei. Prince Albert of Monaco attended with his fiancée, Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock – the couple would walk down the aisle in July. Newlyweds Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden were also…

Timi Otudeko, then a 13-year-old chorister at the Westminster Abbey Choir School, was part of the world-renowned choir that provided the magnificent music at the ceremony. ‘We were excited – Kate Middleton actually asked me about my opinions on the music, and I was so nervous meeting her I wasn’t too sure what to say. I was starstruck. I don’t think everyone can say they had the opportunity to sing at a royal wedding. I’m incredibly’ proud and grateful for the opportunity.…
