The Duchess of Cambridge has become the latest member of the royal family to receive a Covid-19 jab, days after her husband the Duke had his. Kate sat down to have her first dose in the temporary vaccination centre set up at London’s Science Museum, close to her Kensington Palace home. “I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the rollout – thank you for everything you are doing,” Kate, 39, said afterwards in a social media post alongside a photo of her having the vaccine injected in her left arm. The Duchess, looking casual in jeans and a sleeveless, fitted white H&M top that accentuated her toned arms, is now one of millions of people in their 30s who have joined the ranks of those…

LAURA WHITMORE SOUNDS THE SIREN FOR ‘LOVE ISLAND’ Putting fans on red alert, Love Island host Laura Whitmore teased the trailer for the dating show on her Instagram last week, with a series of photos and a short video clip featuring her wearing a scarlet jumpsuit and shades beside a loved-up Jeep (left). “This is not a drill,” one post read, while another asked: “You ready?” The model and DJ took over from Caroline Flack as presenter of Love Island in January 2020. After producers pulled the plug on the last series because of the pandemic, Laura was delighted by news that shenanigans at the villa would return this month. “I think we all need a bit of Love Island in our lives this summer,” she told TV’s Lorraine Kelly.…

THE PRINCE OF WALES Royal to carry out honours ceremonies again Investiture ceremonies will resume again at the end of this month, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. Letters to recipients were posted last week informing them that they can receive their honours in person, health guidelines permitting. The first investiture will take place at St James’s Palace on 23 June and is scheduled to be carried out by the Prince of Wales.

Calling it a “real, real privilege” to care for the lemurs, primate keeper Holly Webb said: “When on the ground, Coquerel’s sifaka lemurs move around with a fascinating sideways gallop while gracefully holding up their arms for balance. It looks like they’re doing an elegant dance.” MEET THE ULTI-MUTT COVID DEFENCE TEAM Sniffer dogs have long been pushing the boundaries of what’s paw-sible, but now they’re following their…

‘Kate knows what works for her and I love how she changes things up from casual to smart. There’s something for everyone’ As you would expect from an icon of style, the Duchess of Cambridge pulled off not only a sartorial triumph on her recent tour of Scotland with her husband the Duke, but a diplomatic one, too.

‘They say you love your children but you’re in love with your grandchildren and it is like that — they fill my heart up’ Dame Esther Rantzen’s garden in the heart of the New Forest is in full bloom and the chorus of birdsong in the warm summer air is accompanied by the squeals of five small children, who are running around barefoot and bouncing excitedly on the trampoline. The broadcaster and children’s campaigner is never happier than when her grandchildren come to stay, and she treasures their visits all the more after being apart from them in the pandemic. “They say you love your children but you’re in love with your grandchildren and it is a bit like that – they fill my heart up,” Esther tells HELLO! as…

World No. 2 tennis player Naomi Osaka returned to the US last week after pulling out of the French Open, following her announcement that she would refuse to participate in any press conferences. The four-time Grand Slam champion revealed that she has “suffered long bouts of depression” since winning the US Open in 2018 and, explaining her decision, said: “Anyone that knows me knows I am introverted, and anyone that has seen me at the tournaments will notice that I’m often wearing headphones as that helps dull my social anxiety… Though the tennis press has always been kind to me (and I wanna apologize to all the cool journalists who I may have hurt), I am not a natural public speaker and get huge waves of anxiety before I speak…

Now, 40 years after it glided down the aisle at St Paul’s Cathedral and seven years since it was last displayed at Diana’s family estate, Althorp House, Elizabeth and David Emanuel’s exquisite design is the highlight of an exhibition in the newly conserved historic Orangery at Kensington Palace. Joining forces ahead of unveiling a statue in their mother’s honour at the nearby Sunken Garden, which will take place on 1 July – what would have been her 60th birthday – the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex have given their permission for their mother’s gown…

And now it looks like 2021 is going to be just as momentous for Ollie Locke as he continues to follow his dream to become a father. “I have never in my life been more excited about anything,” the 34-year-old Made in Chelsea star tells HELLO! as he talks to us from Mexico, where he and husband Gareth, 33, have travelled to begin their journey to parenthood via surrogacy. “It’s a long, expensive, difficult process and we are super lucky to be in Mexico doing this.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is preparing to shoot a campaign for her children’s clothing collection for George at Asda and, after chatting to HELLO!, she has a meeting to decide on a cover for her next children’s book, due out at the end of July. “I’ve always enjoyed doing lots of different things – it keeps me on my toes,” she says.

When Leomie Anderson became the first black British Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2019, she turned into the role model she had longed to see as a child. “Growing up, I remember feeling out of place because I just didn’t see people who looked like me,” the successful model, activist and entrepreneur tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. Born in London, Leomie was scouted aged 14 and has modelled for designers including Burberry and Giorgio Armani. “When I started, I would flick through magazines that I dreamt of being in but there weren’t many black models. That felt really isolating. Everything I do now is with that in mind.” The 28-year-old, who lives in London with her rapper boyfriend Lancey Foux, is certainly blazing a trail that would make her younger…

‘I think it’s very sweet that the Duchess of Cambridge has these Diana, Princess of Wales moments. It feels she’s done this a lot over the years, with some hint or a colour. I’m not a fan of these pleated skirts – this one by Hope, with a Zara blazer, was probably my least favourite outfit. But it was lovely that there was a nod to Diana – and the Scottish flag! – with the colour and shape and probably very lovely for the Duke to see that side of Kate. They are similar in that Diana also had height and the figure and made everything look amazing and achievable, even if it was popping to the gym. People would look at her and think: “I want to dress like…

‘I feel I have joined another family into which I have been fully accepted’ As a successful model, photographer, TV personality, campaigner, wife and mother, there’s no denying that Lady Stewart – aka Penny Lancaster – has never been one to shy away from a new challenge. But the formidable star surprised everyone – including her rock-star husband Sir Rod Stewart and their sons Alastair, 15, and Aiden, ten – when she officially qualified as a special constable with the City of London Police earlier this year. “Rod and the boys knew I wanted to get involved [in the police], but I don’t think they imagined it would come to me actually paving a new career for myself. But it’s here, it’s happened and I’m out there,” Penny exclusively tells…

‘There’s going to be such an eagerness to get back, get dressed up and wear a hat’ The thud of pounding hooves, clink of champagne glasses and thrill of dressing up are just some of the features of Royal Ascot Charlotte Hawkins is most looking forward to when the sporting event returns next week. “It’s an incredible experience – the colours, the outfits, the hats,” says the Good Morning Britain ( GMB ) presenter, who will join the ITV racing team to report on the fashions at the five-day racing festival – a favourite of the Queen – reopening this year to a reduced capacity of 12,000 spectators.

SUNSHINE IN A BOTTLE Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium – vital for strong bones – and also boosts heart health and immunity. Our bodies create vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin, so in the UK we can find it hard to make enough. While it’s also found in foods such as egg yolk and oily fish – salmon and sardines – your diet is unlikely to make up the difference. So if you’ll be indoors more than usual this summer – working from home, for instance – consider continuing to take a supplement: Australian brand JSHealth’s new non-GMO vegan formula is free from gluten, sugar and nuts. If you are concerned, talk to your GP before making any changes. A-LIST ACTIVEWEAR If you’re after head-to-toe activewear,…
