Showing her sense of fun, the Duchess of Cambridge last week sparked a nationwide treasure hunt to celebrate the culmination of her photography project Hold Still as it was released as a book. Last Friday – exactly a year from the launch of her contest, which aimed to share the “powerful stories” of the Covid-19 pandemic – Kate played fairy godmother and left a copy of Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020 for a stranger to find next to the statue of Queen Victoria in London’s Kensington Palace Gardens. It was one of 150 copies hidden in secret locations across the UK by the Book Fairies, a literary movement encouraging people to share books they have enjoyed by leaving them for strangers to find. Each book was…

JACK BROOKSBANK SHARES HIS FAVOURITE BIRTHDAY PRESENT Princess Eugenie has had plenty to celebrate since the arrival of her baby son August in February, with her first Mother’s Day as a mum followed by her 31st birthday at the end of March.

Eugenie marked the doting dad’s special day by posting a trio of photos on Instagram marking their happiness. Her first choice, a previously unseen photo taken the same day as the image Eugenie shared for her birthday (below right), sees Jack cuddling their beloved boy in the grounds of Frogmore Cottage, Windsor (left), where they have been living.

‘I fell in love with my dress all over again. Our wedding was one of the best days of my life’ As their car drew up to Colshaw Hall, Catherine Tyldesley felt the same flutter of excitement that she had at her wedding on 21 May 2016. Almost five years to the day, her return to the spectacular grade II-listed Jacobean-style manor house in Cheshire with husband Tom Pitfield and their six-year-old son Alfie was the perfect opportunity to relive precious memories. “Even as we were arriving, I felt so emotional. We haven’t been back here since the wedding,” says 37-year-old Catherine, who brought along her beautiful bespoke ivory Philip Armstrong gown, which has been carefully stored away since the big day. “I completely fell in love with my wedding…

‘In order to get people back to work in the short term, let’s have the passport’ Theatre has been going on since the ancient Greeks performed tragedies in amphitheatres and has survived everything, from the movies to TV and the internet. There’s a huge, pent-up demand from audiences to go to the theatre, and it is going to come back. But we need to help theatres work. As the lockdown restrictions continue to lift, from 17 May, indoor venues can reopen with a maximum of 1,000 people in an audience, or 50% capacity, whichever is the smaller. But that’s uneconomic. For most shows, whether plays or musicals, you need around 55-60% of seats sold at full price in order to break even on a weekly basis, never mind recoup the…

For some of us, cooking over a hot stove with our other half results more in bickering than banter, but married culinary couple Lisa Faulkner and MasterChef presenter John Torode navigate their way around the kitchen with enviable ease, effortlessly slicing onions and stirring sauces while keeping their viewers entertained. “It’s exactly as we are at home,” actress and cookery writer Lisa, 48, tells us ahead of their sixth series. “Apart from when we’re looking into the camera to explain something, we…

‘If you ask Charlotte, she says she’s 16… “I’m six, I’ll do what I want.” They grow up fast!’The Duke of Cambridge Looking pretty as a picture, Princess Charlotte is all grown up in this beautiful new portrait shared by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to mark her sixth birthday last week.

He is too young for the rough and tumble enjoyed by his sisters Mia, seven, and Lena, two, but six-week-old Lucas was the star attraction on a day out with mum Zara Tindall at the Cirencester Park International Horse Trials ahead of her 40th birthday this week. Taking the latest addition to her family for his first public outing, the doting mum beamed with joy as she gazed into her son’s pram while chatting to fellow spectators who had stopped to see the newborn. Zara’s horse Classicals Euro Star was competing at the event, but she appeared to only have eyes for her son, who made a dramatic entrance to the world when his former rugby star father Mike, 42, delivered him on the bathroom floor.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have launched a Prince’s Trust course to help people forge careers in the media. The popular presenting duo last week confirmed they were working with the charity on Ant & Dec’s Making It in Media, which will provide training from industry experts on working both in front of and behind the camera on TV shows. The free two-week course in July, for people aged 16-25 who are not in work or education, is based in London and participants will also be able to meet prospective employers.

Posting three images on Instagram – including one of her twirling, her wavy blonde hair spinning out around her, and another, arms outstretched, enjoying a dip in the sea – she captioned them “Thirty Free”. Meanwhile her close friends – including make-up artist Michael Ashton and writer Laura Dockrill – took to Instagram to share retro pictures to mark her big day, including…

As restrictions lift, one surprising effect of lockdown can still be seen – and felt – on our faces. Red patches, dryness and flaking sound familiar? Sarah Carr, facialist and Liz Earle ambassador, has been bombarded with messages from clients about DIY mishaps over lockdown. “People have been trialling new skincare, as well as cocktailing’ a range of products,” she says. Consultant dermatologist Dr Emma Wedgeworth believes the issue stems from people overloading their complexion or using the wrong products for their skin type. “People are using all sorts of ingredients and the increasing popularity of actives such as retinoids, AHA and BHAs has resulted in more skin sensitisation,” she says. Other irritants that may be sending your skin out of whack include creams heavily laden with fragrances, essential oils…

As a born and raised Namibian, Victoria’s Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo Levine knows the beauty that African wildlife brings to the world. That’s why she’s passionate about protecting the last remaining population of wild black rhinos in her role as global ambassador for Save The Rhino Trust Namibia. “Growing up, I would spend so much time watching animals, particularly black rhinos outside. It was impactful to watch how they interacted with one another peacefully,” she tells HELLO!, as she launches her first swimwear collaboration with Reina Olga, profits from which will go to the campaign. “Now, many Namibian children have never even seen black rhinos. That kills me. Being a part of this group that actively stops poachers and preserves the lives of these beautiful animals is really moving. I’m…
