Along a vast white beach lapped by the Atlantic Ocean, amid sand dunes, pine forests and rice paddies, lies Comporta, a picturesque fishing village turned exclusive Portuguese paradise. Here, a host of big names from the creative fields – united by a passion for nature at its purest – have built holiday homes that are in perfect harmony with their surroundings. This is where fashion and interiors consultant Filipa de Abreu and her husband Antonio Ribeiro da Cunha come to spend quality time with their blended family of five. Antonio, the director of a property investment firm, acquired their hideaway, Casa Branca, eight years ago, before meeting Filipa – but she has added her own unique touches, she explains, as she teams up with her 18-year-old daughter Maria to show…

As Big Ben chimed at 11am, all those gathered held a two-minute silence In a traditional ceremony that never loses its impact, around 10,000 veterans and 800 members of the armed forces marched past the Cenotaph in Whitehall last Sunday, paying tribute to the servicemen and women who lost their lives in two world wars and later conflicts. Leading the nation in remembrance and joined by senior members of the royal family, politicians and faith leaders was the King, wearing his air marshal’s uniform. SILENT REMEMBRANCE As Big Ben chimed at 11am, all those gathered in Whitehall and beyond held a two-minute silence, its end marked by a cannon blast from Horse Guards Parade followed by buglers playing the Last Post. In his role as head of the armed forces,…

There was no charity auction, but at the inaugural mothers2mothers fundraising ball at the V&A Museum in London’s South Kensington, there was one Lott that drew plenty of attention: new mum Pixie. The Mama Do singer looked a lot like she was enjoying motherhood as she made her first high-profile public appearance (right) since giving birth to her first child, bursting out of her baby bubble to champion the cause. “Loved last night at the Mothers 2 Mothers ball,” 32-year-old Pixie told fans in an Instagram post, calling the charity’s work “incredible”. Joining her and the event’s host Sabrina Elba (below centre) at the ball for the charity – which helps provide healthcare for families in need in Africa – were fellow mums and supporters Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (below left) and…

Her “larger than life” Las Vegas residency Play may have ended after 80 shows and almost two years, but for Katy Perry, the desire to connect with her fans is Never Really Over. So she was more than happy to chat and pose for photos (below) with the crowds at Macy’s department store in New York’s Herald Square. There to promote Dolce & Gabbana’s fragrance Devotion, of which she is the face, the singer gave high fashion Feels in a design from the duo as she spritzed her way through the store (left and below right). Sharing a photo taken against the Big Apple skyline, she told followers it was “a look-good, smell-good, feel-good moment with #Devotion”. As a long-time fan of Dolce & Gabbana, the decision to team up…

The Duchess of Sussex hinted at “exciting” new projects on the horizon on a glamorous return to the red carpet at Variety magazine’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles. Asked about the future of the Archewell production company she runs with her husband the Duke, she said: “[I want to make] things that make people feel – I was going to say ‘good’, but it’s more than that. Things that make people feel something, right? And feel a sense of community. “But we have so many exciting things on the slate. I can’t wait until we can announce them. I’m really proud of what we’re creating. My husband is loving it, too, which is really fun.” Wearing a Proenza Schouler dress and black suede pumps by Aquazzura, 42-year-old Meghan…

Living up to her stylish new role, Meg, 21, arrived at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles in a chic black silk gown by Stella McCartney – a label the real-life Kate has often worn.

As heir to the throne of Bhutan, Crown Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck was born into a lofty position – and his latest official engagement was certainly a towering achievement. The seven-year-old royal took part (left and below left)in the ceremonial installation of the Sertog – a golden cupola that tops buildings of significance – on the roof of the Utse (central tower) of the new Pangbisa Dzong in Paro. Commissioned by and built under the orders of his father King Wangchuck, the building is home to the Druk Gyalpo’s Institute, a non-profit education centre preserving Bhutan’s heritage. Adding to the importance of the event, the ceremony took place on the 68th birthday of the Crown Prince’s grandfather, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who abdicated in 2006. To mark the occasion, the little…

‘The Crown’s portrayal of the final weeks of Princess Diana’s life and her death was always going to be controversial. Viewers may find themselves torn between relishing the superb performances and production values and feeling uncomfortable about the dramatisation of such a deeply painful moment in the royal family’s history. There is painstaking attention to detail, down to the mocked-up copy of HELLO! Diana reads by the pool in St Tropez, the 1990s hits she plays in her car and her famous Gottex swimsuits. Elizabeth Debicki masterfully brings to life the Princess’s playful and adoring relationship with Princes William and Harry, her inspiring interaction with landmine survivors in Bosnia and her ability to influence media coverage, as well as suffer from it. Imagined dialogues between Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II…

Palace stays quiet over new book allegations Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on allegations made in royal journalist Omid Scobie’s new book about the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the royal family. In Endgame, which includes details of events surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, the journalist claims Prince Harry was left “in the dark” about his grandmother’s health in her final hours. He also writes that the Prince of Wales (above, with Harry) did not respond to his brother’s messages that day asking if they could travel to Balmoral together. “William clearly didn’t want to see his brother,” says the book. “With no further information from other family members or Palace aides, the Sussexes and their team had to operate in the…

The Princess of Wales’s passion for early years is making its mark close to home. Ahead of a major speech on the subject last week, she revealed how her younger son, five-year-old Prince Louis, is benefiting from early childhood development work at his school. Kate, regal in a vibrant purple trouser suit, told broadcaster Fearne Cotton that work to improve children’s emotional development is already under way at Lambrook School in Berkshire, where all of the Prince and Princess’s three children study. EXPRESS YOURSELF She said: “[In] Louis’s class, they came back with a feelings wheel; it’s really good. They go to the classroom – these are five- or six-year-olds – and go in with names or pictures of a colour that represent how they feel that day, so there…

Age is but a number, according to Oscar-winning actress Dame Helen Mirren, who wasn’t pulling any punches discussing ageism and gender inequality in London last week. “Whether you’re 25, 45 or 85, you look great for who you are, not for how old you are,” the star of The Queen said at a L’Oréal Paris event with experts and panellists including TV chef Andi Oliver and make-up artist Val Garland. At 78, Dame Helen is being true to her word, becoming a role model for older women and refusing to conform to society’s expectations about what she should wear or how she should look. She’s now in her tenth year as an ambassador for beauty brand L’Oréal Paris and is using her platform to speak out about the double standards…

She is usually more at home on horseback sporting jodhpurs and a riding jacket, but Zara Tindall swapped her equestrian apparel for a sophisticated look at a VIP breakfast at Harrods department store in London.

He’s never had trouble attracting female admirers, so it’s no surprise that when Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio turned 49 last week, some of the world’s most glamorous women were on hand to help him celebrate. Beyoncé and husband Jay Z, Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale and Zoe Saldaña were among the guests at a glittering bash in Beverly Hills, California. At one point, the Wolf of Wall Street star channelled his performance skills into an old-school rap to the 1994 track DWYCK by Gang Starr and Nice & Smooth – while the crowd bounced around him and waved their hands in the air. Also on the guest list was actress Salma Hayek, who, like Kim and several of the partygoers, arrived fresh from the stellar Baby2Baby Gala at Hollywood’s Pacific Design…

They were dubbed the “Famous Five” – a collection of stylish and headline-grabbing dresses worn by Diana, Princess of Wales as she carved out a new life for herself after separating from the then Prince of Wales in 1992. Now the glamorous evening gowns are in the spotlight once more after identical replicas of the pieces – created by their original designer, Jacques Azagury and put up for auction at Lay’s Auctioneers in Penzance, Cornwall – were snapped up before the hammer even fell. Jacques, who first met Diana in 1985, made an exact “twin” of each of the 18 gowns he created for her at the same time as the original. Discussing his decision to sell his “Famous Five”, he said: “Each dress I made for Diana was special…

And having our son Beau with us was very special’Maeva When it came to choosing the location for the first of their two wedding ceremonies, there was only one place in mind for stylish Made in Chelsea stars Maeva D’Ascanio and James Taylor. “It’s a part of us – that’s where it all started,” says Maeva, 31, of their intimate ceremony, which took place last week at Chelsea Old Town Hall in front of 20 of their closest friends and family.
