Four days after giving birth, the Duchess of Sussex launched her first children’s book, The Bench (right), dedicating it to “the man and the boy who make my heart go pump-pump”. But as well as her references to Prince Harry (left, with Meghan) and their son Archie, the book also appears to include a nod to their newborn daughter. The final page of the story, which is illustrated by award-winning artist Christian Robinson, shows a red-haired man helping a young boy feed chickens while a dark-haired woman stands in a garden cradling a baby. The family’s two dogs, a black labrador called Pula and a beagle called Guy, are also shown in the drawing. Meghan’s text is based on a poem she wrote for her husband for his first Father’s…

New mum Princess Eugenie shared some previously unseen photos of her baby son to talk about the need to protect the planet. Celebrating World Environment Day, the royal, 31, posted a snap of her carrying a snoozing baby August during a walk against a backdrop of daffodils, echoing the photo she shared to mark her first Mother’s Day in March, when the little tot was seen lying on the grass in dolphin-patterned trousers and rabbit slippers (inset). “Thank you world for giving us such a beautiful place to live,” she wrote, with a series of photos that included shots of her paddleboarding and wild elephants, which she said “remind me how amazing our environment is and how we must always protect it”.…

Known for championing all things green, the Prince of Wales could not have been more delighted when a visit to Oxford featured not just one plant but loads of them. His itinerary included a tour of Mini’s electric-car factory in Cowley and a trip to the city’s Botanical Gardens. In fine spirits throughout, Charles presented the gardens, celebrating their 400th anniversary this year, with a bottle of gin (left) made using organic herbs from his own garden at Highgrove. And there were no half measures in Cowley as he took an electric car for a mini spin (right), calling it “silent but deadly”.

It’s a lovely way to live and he is the best, so it suits him.” Holly had previously paid tribute to Brian on social media, treating fans to photos that show just how close they are. Last…

Blue was the colour last week for Binky Felstead, but the former Made in Chelsea star was far from sad as she celebrated giving birth to a boy. Her first child with fiancé Max Darnton was born at the Lindo Wing of London’s St Mary’s Hospital, making her a proud mum of two. Keen to share her joy, Binky, 30, posted photos of “the newest member of our very happy family” on social media (below, left and right), with captions revealing details including his full name: Wulfric Alexander Fredrik Darnton. “He will be known as Wolfie (unless he’s naughty then it’s definitely Wulfric!’ again),” she wrote. “We love the name as it touches on his Scandinavian heritage [Max’s mother is Swedish] as well as having other meaningful links that are…

‘She is more than we could have ever imagined... we remain greteful for the love and prayers‘ It has been, without question, a turbulent year for the royal family. However, the birth of the Queen’s 11th great-grandchild, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, a daughter for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was met with great joy on both sides of the Atlantic last week.

‘Lilibet Diana will share a special bond with Princess Charlotte’ Astrologer to the stars Neelam Jagasia Puri (left) tells HELLO ! the newest Sussex and her six-year-old cousin Princess Charlotte are destined to have much in common. Although born under different star signs – Lilibet is a Gemini and Charlotte a Taurean – similarities in their planetary placements suggest the young cousins will be drawn to one another and in time will share a very special bond and become confidantes. While the more analytical Charlotte will admire her trendsetting younger cousin for her coolness with the LA in-crowd, they’ll share the same sense of fun, too. The position of the planets when they were born show they’ve inherited different strengths from their grandmother Diana and great-grandmother the Queen. Charlotte is…

The Queen and the Duchesses of Cornwall and Cambridge joined members of the public at the Big Lunch community initiative, which has Camilla as patron and is run by the Eden Project.

Sunscreen should be at the top of your skincare checklist but there is a lot of misinformation surrounding its use. For instance, whether you need to apply sunscreen on a cloudy day. (You do: 90% of UV rays can pass through light cloud, and that includes the UVA rays associated with skin ageing and UVB rays, which cause skin to burn.) And have you ever heard someone say the sun helps clear up their skin? The sun causes skin to redden, so at most it might camouflage spots for a few days. But repeated sunburn increases your lifetime risk of developing melanoma skin cancer. We’ve enlisted three leading dermatologists to debunk other common myths around using SPFs. Plus, discover the latest sun protection products to suit your skin’s needs… MYTH…

It’s so lovely meeting their babies and hearing…

Ella Dettori has a secret weapon up her sleeve as she prepares to compete in her first horse race at the Qatar Goodwood Festival in July: her father, Frankie. The champion jockey has been on hand giving advice and guidance during her training and is more than keen to help. “Well, he’s trying to,” says his 20-year-old daughter, the second eldest of his five children. “I find it very hard to take criticism from family members. I try to put to one side the fact he’s my dad and just listen to what he says. “We bicker, as I don’t take instruction well and we’re both quite stubborn. But at least I know he knows what he’s on about.” It was Frankie, 50 – who will also be racing at…

As one of Strictly Come Dancing’s most celebrated fans, the Duchess of Cornwall couldn’t have found anyone better to raise the barre on her own ballet skills than the show’s former judge Dame Darcey Bussell. Looking on point in a pale-blue silk dress, Camilla was quite the poised ballerina as she posed beside a barre with the dancer at the V&A in London last week (above).

There was more fancy footwork the following evening when Camilla was joined by her husband the Prince of Wales to see a live performance…

Madonna’s outfit for the occasion was vintage: a floral midi, chunky black shoes and a black fedora – and naturally there was a video, one with a different kind of pop influence. Sharing a montage of photos and clips on Instagram (above left), the 62-year-old singer paid tribute to her “survivor” dad, saying: “He taught me the…
