Prince William joked today that his wife Kate ‘is the arty one’, as he carried out a royal visit three days after she apologised for editing her Mother’s Day photograph.

The Prince of Wales was mocking his lack of creativity as he decorated biscuits with children in a training kitchen while opening a youth charity facility in West London.

In a comment likely to raise eyebrows amid the ongoing future at the Princess of Wales, William said: ‘My wife is the arty one. Even my children are artier than me.’

It comes as Kate was said to be distraught by criticism over the picture editing row, which has seen her criticised around the world and the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency comparing Kensington Palace to North Korea and Iran today.

William also told youngsters at the OnSide Youth Zone in Hammersmith and Fulham that his son Prince Louis ‘loves sprinkles, so I’m going to put some more on here’.

The Prince continued: ‘How’s that? Alright? It’s remotely edible. Not quite as good as yours, but it’ll do. In the couple of minutes I got to do it.’

And he played basketball and celebrated successfully shooting a hoop after four failed attempts at the site, which is called West (‘Where Everyone Sticks Together’).

William was escorted by Kevin McGrath, Deputy Lieutenant for the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham who represents the monarch at official events locally.

Later, William and his estranged brother Prince Harry will both separately take part in a ceremony paying tribute to their late mother at the Diana Legacy Award.

William will attend the event at the Science Museum in London in person, where he is set to give a speech to mark the charity’s 25th anniversary and present awards.

Harry, 39, will then join a video call with the 20 winners – although it is understood that his involvement will only take place after William, 41, has left the ceremony.

Other royals on engagements today included Prince Edward and Sophie who attended the All England Open Badminton Championships in Birmingham. 

It comes as William and Kate continue to face intense scrutiny after the Princess publicly apologised and confessed to digitally editing a family portrait taken by her husband and released by Kensington Palace to mark Mother’s Day last Sunday.

On Monday, Kate publicly took the blame for the manipulated family photograph released by Kensington Palace as she issued a personal apology for the ‘confusion’.

Kate said sorry with a statement on social media which read: ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.

‘I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.’

The photograph of Kate and her children, taken by William, was the first to be issued since the princess’s abdominal surgery and was released by the Palace to mark Mother’s Day.

It was issued in part to quell conspiracy theories about Kate, who had not been seen at a royal event since Christmas Day or after her surgery.

But it was withdrawn with a ‘Kill’ notice by international picture agencies hours later, and the UK’s PA news agency on Monday, because of suspicions it had been manipulated.

The saga intensified speculation concerning Kate, her health and her whereabouts, and raised questions over whether images released by Kensington Palace could be trusted.

Royal sources said the Princess made ‘minor adjustments’ and that Kate and the William wanted to offer an informal picture of the family together for Mother’s Day.

Kate was later spotted leaving Windsor in a car with William as he was driven to the Commonwealth Day service. The princess was not attending the service, but was understood to have a private appointment.

Despite calls for the original to be published, Kensington Palace said it would not be reissuing the unedited photograph of Kate and her children.

The Palace has faced growing pressure over the debacle with the controversy branded damaging to the public’s trust of the royal family .

Concerns were raised over a missing part of Princess Charlotte ‘s sleeve and the misaligned edge of her skirt, with other speculation including the positioning of Kate’s zip.

The picture was released to reassure the public amid escalating conspiracy theories online over the state of Kate’s health in recent weeks, but in an extraordinary turn of events sparked what is being dubbed ‘Kategate’ and even ‘Sleevegate’.

William and Kate have an established track record of issuing their own photographs, often taken by Kate rather than William, to mark special occasions including their children’s birthdays.

But the Princess’s confession has raised questions over whether – or to what extent – the images have been altered in the past.

Sky News said an examination of the photo’s meta data revealed it was saved in Adobe Photoshop twice on an Apple Mac on Friday and Saturday and the picture was taken on a Canon Camera.

Under the licensing agreement issued to photo agencies for use of official royal photos, Royal Households usually stipulate: ‘This image must not be digitally enhanced, cropped, manipulated or modified in any manner or form.’

Kate had surgery at the London Clinic on January 16, but details of her condition have been kept private, and she is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter .

While the fallout from the picture continued, William was back on royal duties today as he arrived in White City at 11am to visit West, the new purpose-built youth facility that will soon be available to young people in the area.

Kensington Palace said the site, which was given its name by local young people, will be staffed by youth workers who will ‘support young people from across West London to develop the skills and confidence they need to achieve their dreams’.

The West Youth Zone, which is a newly formed local independent charity, has facilities including a sports hall, fitness suite, indoor climbing wall, teaching kitchen and a performing arts studio.

There will also be a café which will serve hot meals costing no more than £1. 

It is also part of an education hub known as EdCity, which was developed by education charity Ark alongside Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

This centre will also include a new school, nursery, adult education centre and affordable housing.

West has been developed by OnSide, which the Palace described as a ‘national youth centre charity whose mission is to empower young people to lead positive, fulfilling lives by providing access to state-of-the-art spaces and exceptional, life-changing youth work in areas where they are needed the most’.

There are 14 Youth Zones in the UK OnSide network including in Bolton, Manchester, Wigan and across London – with seven more set to open over the next two years in areas such as Bristol, Grimsby, Preston and Essex.

In 2021, the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited OnSide’s Wolverhampton Youth Zone, ‘The Way’.

During today’s visit, William spent time speaking to pupils from Ark White City primary school and West’ Young People’s Development Group who were involved in shaping the design and facilities in the new centre.

He toured the Youth Zone, meeting young people using the four-court indoor sports hall before seeing a teaching kitchen.

William also celebrated the launch of the Youth Zone with a plaque unveiling it ahead of its official opening next month on April 21, when it will be available seven days a week.

Later, Harry and William will both separately take part in the Diana Legacy Award ceremony.

It comes as the royal brothers have continued to distance themselves from each other in recent months.

The pair did not meet when Harry spent time with the King at Clarence House following news of his cancer diagnosis last month.

In an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America, Harry said ‘I love my family’ and that he was ‘grateful’ to be able to spend around 45 minutes with Charles when he flew back to the UK.

Harry published his controversial memoir Spare last year, in which he accused William of pushing him into a dog bowl in a row over Meghan Markle.

It was also claimed William teased Harry about his panic attacks.

Further tensions between the royal brothers can be traced back to the early period of Harry’s relationship with wife Meghan, when his then fiancee had a falling out with the Princess of Wales in the run-up to their wedding.

The Diana Award was set up to promote the Princess’s belief that young people have the power to change the world for the better.

Both William and Harry presented the inaugural legacy awards at St James’ Palace in 2017.

Dr Tessy Ojo, chief executive of The Diana Award, told The Times: ‘It’s a privilege to have the support of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex – particularly as we mark our 25th anniversary year.’

A spokesman for the award also told The Telegraph that Harry will be a ‘key part’ of the celebration.

‘He is scheduled to speak with the award recipients, virtually, on the evening of the awards to celebrate their accomplishments,’ he said.

Yesterday, the King appeared full of cheer during an audience with Baroness Scotland at Buckingham Palace.

Charles, who has met the Commonwealth secretary-general on many occasions, welcomed his guest to the Private Audience Room for the in-person meeting.

The 75-year-old monarch, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, is continuing with his head of state duties including face-to-face audiences despite not carrying out official engagements in public. 

He was photographed chuckling and giving a wide smile as he shook Baroness Scotland’s hand.

The King is Head of the Commonwealth but this week missed the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, although his pre-recorded video message was played to the congregation.

Queen Camilla and William attended the service along with other royals including Princess Anne.

Also yesterday, Camilla spent a day at the races as she attended the Cheltenham Festival.

Anne was also among the royal party as were Zara and Mike Tindall, Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank, and Camilla’s friend and official Queen’s Companion, Lady Sarah Keswick.

Spotted in the parade ring before the start of a race was former army officer Mark Dyer, who acted as Harry’s mentor, playing the role of a supportive big brother figure for him after the death of Diana.

 

Queen Camilla showcased her fashion prowess as she led royals attending the Cheltenham Festival’s ‘Style Wednesday’ today.

The King’s wife, 76, looked effortlessly elegant in a green Anna Valentine coat teamed with a vibrant floral scarf and a fake fur-trimmed hat from Lock & Co as she stepped out to enjoy a day at the races at the Gloucestershire racecourse.

She was joined for the prestigious Day Two of the four-day festival, previously referred to as Ladies Day, by her son Tom Parker-Bowles, Zara and Mike Tindall, Princess Anne and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. 

Shortly after their arrival, Zara, 42, and her former rugby international ace husband Mike, 45, exchanged a quick kiss on the lips before the King’s niece walked off with her cousin Eugenie, 33. 

The Queen, who is a keen horse racing fan, joined other close relatives, including daughter Laura Lopes and her husband Harry, alongside Camilla’s nephew Sir Ben Elliot, at the biggest week in the jump racing calendar.

Known to love a flutter on the horses, the Queen took her place in the royal box after arriving at the Cheltenham racecourse and walking past racegoers who stopped to watch her pass.

The Queen – who is a regular at the occasion and an honorary member of the Jockey Club which runs the major sporting event – made an appearance without King Charles, 75, since he is still having treatment for cancer. 

Also among the guests in the royal box were Eugenie and husband Jack, and Camilla’s friend and official Queen’s Companion, Lady Sarah Keswick.

For the outing, Camilla wore an Anna Valentine ensemble – brown suede skirt, matching leopard print shirt and a dark green cashmere coat, with a wide brimmed Lock & Co hat.

Adding a touch of glitz to her ensemble, the Queen finished off her sophisticated look with a pair of gold and diamond earrings, as well as a shimmering brooch.

Equestrian Zara, 42, opted for an elegant blue pinstripe double-breasted suit jacket with matching straight-leg trousers. The mother-of-three wore a silk burnt orange high necked blouse, leather gloves and a burgundy croc-effect handbag. She completed her ensemble with minimal gold jewellery and a chic burgundy suede fascinator. 

Zara’s mother Princess Anne, 73, another racing enthusiast, was also present at the racecourse, and donned a tweed, button-up coat paired with a camel hat and a nude scarf to protect from the chill. 
Mike Tindall’s dapper navy suit perfectly complemented his wife’s ensemble as he opted for a pop of colour with a burgundy tie. Shortly after they arrived Mike and Zara, who aren’t afraid of a little PDA, shared a quick kiss before Zara headed off with Eugenie.

Mother-of-two Eugenie looked chic and sophisticated in a white wraparound coat, which she wore over an oatmeal midi dress. 

The 33-year-old was pictured in a sleek white fedora and holding a structured handbag with gold hardware that perfectly matched the tone of her dress. 

The royal finished off her look with some tan suede boots and minimal gold hoops. 

As she arrived at the racecourse, Eugenie posed for pictures with her husband Jack Brooksbank – who was dressed in a light grey suit and green tie.

Also present at Style Wednesday were Queen Camilla’s ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles and their children Tom and Laura Lopes, plus Camilla’s nephew Ben Elliott.

Mark Dyer, who is a close friend of Prince Harry and has previously been dubbed the Duke’s ‘second dad’ due to their close relationship, was also in attendance. 

The right royal day out at Cheltenham racecourse comes after a busy day of engagements on Monday to mark Commonwealth Day.

Members of the royal family, led by Camilla and William, descended upon Westminster Abbey to take part in the annual service, before the Queen continued the festivities at Marlborough House in Pall Mall in the evening. 

Charlotte Hawkins, Jade Holland Cooper, Aston Villa and England footballer Tyrone Mings and magician and gameshow presenter Stephen Mulhern were among the other famous famous at today’s event. 

The second day of the race meet, which has long been fondly referred to as Ladies Day, has now been branded as Style Wednesday by festival organisers, and includes a fashion competition for both men and women.

Open to both men and women, the competition ‘celebrates vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces’.

A spokesperson for Cheltenham Racecourse said: ‘This year we re-launched day two of The Festival as Style Wednesday to celebrate “fast horses, slow fashion”, encouraging racegoers to make more sustainable fashion choices, showcasing their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family and on social media.

‘This includes re-wearing outfits they already have in their wardrobes, purchasing timeless garments to wear again and again and also buying from retailers specialising in pre-loved clothing.’ 

Commenting on the change, The Daily Mail’s Nadine Dorries said in her latest column: ‘I looked at the programme and saw, with no fanfare or warning, that Ladies Day at Cheltenham appears to have been downgraded to Style Wednesday.

‘I’m assuming this is some sort of woke nod from the Jockey Club to the powerful trans lobby.

‘If that’s the case, the Jockey Club might like to consider who exactly will be attending – and who it is they are now offending.’

The second day of the four-day festival hasn’t officially been labelled Ladies Day since 2018; last year it was billed as Festival Wednesday.

But fans on X were equally disappointed with the move to rebrand the second day as ‘Style Wednesday’, with one person writing: ‘Who on earth gets paid to come up with this nonsense? Oh for the days when racing was felt worthy enough on its own.’

Another said: ‘Style Wednesday? Jesus wept. It’s Ladies Day,’ while a third added: ‘Game is in the gutter.’

A fourth insisted: ‘Style Wednesday, how absolutely embarrassing’, as a fifth individual wrote: ‘Styles Wednesday, is this a joke?’

‘End of an era as Ladies Day at Cheltenham Festival is no more. We now have Style Day on a Wednesday. I assume that is to be more inclusive,’ one person wrote, while another simply said: ‘Box-ticking.’

The Jockey Club’s website describes today’s Slow Fashion Awards as an event that will ‘celebrate vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces that can be passed down through generations.

‘We encourage all racegoers to showcase their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family, and on social media.

‘The awards are open to both men and women, and we can’t wait to see the incredible fashion on display!’

Extravagant headpieces, thigh-skimming hemlines and sky-high heels were in vogue for Cheltenham’s Style Wednesday today.

The second day of the race meet, which has long been fondly referred to as Ladies Day, marked their first Style Wednesday today, with a fashion competition for both men and women 

Day two of the prestigious four-day event is known for attracting a host of royals and celebrities alike as they show off their sartorial prowess while enjoying a day out at the races in Gloucestershire.

One racegoer commanded attention in a sunshine yellow blazer and feather headpiece.

While another ensured all eyes were on her in a silky kimono with dragon print, corset and bow hat.

Well-heeled guests included Queen Camilla and her son, Tom Parker-Bowles, who were sure to enjoy the festivities. 

Camilla stunned in a bottle green coat and fur hat.

Meanwhile,   Zara and Mike Tindall, as well as Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank were also in attendance.  

Charlotte Hawkins and Jade Holland Cooper were among other guests at the event. 

While the event is no longer known as Ladies Day, it’s clear revellers still make the same amount of effort. 

Some excited racegoers even start planning their outfits for the popular occasion six or so months in advance. 

The famous event that was once called Ladies Day has been ‘downgraded’ to Style Wednesday, with the Jockey Club, which runs 15 courses across the UK, also ditching the Best Dressed competition.

Instead, the day now includes the Slow Fashion awards, open to both men and women, which ‘celebrates vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces’.

A spokesperson for Cheltenham Racecourse said: ‘This year we re-launched day two of The Festival as Style Wednesday to celebrate “fast horses, slow fashion”, encouraging racegoers to make more sustainable fashion choices, showcasing their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family and on social media.

Another said: ‘Style Wednesday? Jesus wept. It’s Ladies Day,’ while a third added: ‘Game is in the gutter.’

The only exceptions to the new policy at any of the 342 fixtures staged by The Jockey Club is offensive fancy dress or offensive clothing of any kind and replica sports shirts. 

Traditional morning dress or formal day wear is also still required in the Queen Elizabeth II Stand on Derby Day.

Nevin Truesdale, Chief Executive at The Jockey Club, said: ‘Horseracing has always been a sport enjoyed by people from all different backgrounds and it’s really important to us to be accessible and inclusive.

‘We hope that by no longer placing an expectation upon people of what they should and shouldn’t wear we can help highlight that racing really is for everyone.

‘For those who visit our venues, a day at the races is all about spending quality leisure time with friends and family and we believe people enjoy themselves best when they feel relaxed. A major part of that is wearing clothing which you are comfortable in.

‘For those who visit our venues, a day at the races is all about spending quality leisure time with friends and family and we believe people enjoy themselves best when they feel relaxed. A major part of that is wearing clothing which you are comfortable in.

‘So, when we reviewed this area of the raceday experience, it has been clear to us that enforcing a dress code seems rather outdated in the 21st Century in the eyes of many of our racegoers.

‘Of course that doesn’t mean we are discouraging people from dressing up for a day at the races if they want to. 

‘This is about giving people a choice and the opportunity to come racing dressed however they feel most comfortable and confident, while also bearing in mind the challenges regularly presented by the British weather.

In the past, entry into some enclosures has required the wearing of a jacket and tie while sporting trainers has also been frowned upon.

Truesdale added that the new rules should remove any ‘ambiguity or uncertainty’ about how people had to dress at the track.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the biggest race of the week which holds one of the biggest prize pots in the sport.

Prinses Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank, Mike en Zara Tindall zijn in Groot-Brittannië geland na een weekendje weg in Bahrein om de Grand Prix bij te wonen.

De twee koninklijke paren verschenen opgewekt toen ze vanochtend in Oxford van boord gingen van een privéjet, waarin ook Jeremy Clarkson en Madonna’s zoon Rocco Ritchie zaten.

Eugenie zag er moeiteloos elegant uit in een kamelenjas met dubbele rij knopen, een blauw geruit overhemd en een spijkerbroek.

De moeder van twee kinderen, 33, gooide haar haar in een knotje en maakte haar vrijetijdslook af met een paar witte sportschoenen, een zonnebril met schildpadmotief en een wit-bruine leren tas.

Ondertussen zag Zara er even chic uit in een lichtblauw waterdicht jack, een blauwe spijkerbroek en grijze sportschoenen.

De moeder van drie kinderen, 42, werd afgebeeld met een bruine crossbodytas en een blauw-wit gestreepte draagtas toen ze uit het vliegtuig stapte.

De voormalige ruiter had haar blonde haar in een ontspannen paardenstaart gedaan en bedekte ook haar gezicht met een zonnebril.

Ondertussen werd haar man Mike Tindall ook afgebeeld met een relaxed wit sweatshirt, een feloranje hoed en een rugzak terwijl hij met andere passagiers praatte nadat ze waren geland.

Eugenie’s echtgenoot Jack Brooksbank werd op het asfalt gezien in een grijze hoodie onder een jersey blazer en een zwarte spijkerbroek – terwijl het stel zich klaarmaakte om terug te keren naar hun huis in Londen.

Mike en Jack werden stevig omhelsd gezien voordat ze na hun weekendje weg op het asfalt uit elkaar gingen.

Voormalig Top Gear-presentator Jeremy Clarkson – die in december 2022 het kerstfeest van koningin Camilla in Mayfair bijwoonde – werd hartelijk ontvangen door zijn partner Lisa Hogan.

De actrice, die werd afgebeeld in een bruine jas van nepbont, werd liefdevol Jeremy’s wang zien strelen toen hij thuiskwam.

Ondertussen leek Madonna’s zoon Rocco, 23, die gekleed was in een geruite blazer, het sprekende beeld van zijn vader Guy.

Op een gegeven moment werd gezien hoe Jeremy Rocco een speelse klap op de borst gaf terwijl ze zich voorbereidden om uit elkaar te gaan na hun gedeelde vlucht.

Andere spraakmakende passagiers waren onder meer de aristocraat The Duke of Richmond, socialite Tamara Beckwith en miljardair verzekeringsmagnaat David Howden.

Zaterdagavond werd de hertogin van York afgebeeld in gesprek met Red Bull-baas Christian Horner met prinses Eugenie en Jack Brooksbank na hun overwinning.

De 50-jarige Horner stond deze week in het middelpunt van een schandaal nadat flirterige WhatsApp-berichten die hij blijkbaar naar een vrouwelijke collega stuurde, online lekten – dagen nadat hij werd vrijgesproken van ongepast gedrag op de werkplek.

Bij de Grand Prix op zaterdag vormden Christian en zijn vrouw Geri, 51, een verenigd front toen ze hand in hand arriveerden voordat ze een kus uitwisselden voor de camera’s.

Zara en Mike Tindall, Peter Phillips, de hertogin van York en prinses Eugenie en Jack Brooksbank waren ook in de menigte om te zien hoe Red Bull de eerste en tweede plaats veiligstelde in de Grand Prix van Bahrein.

Na hun overwinning liepen Sarah Ferguson, prinses Eugenie en Jack naar de baan om het Red Bull-team te feliciteren met hun succes.

De hertogin van York, die tijdens haar tijd in de schijnwerpers met een groot aantal schandalen te maken heeft gehad, leek een levendig gesprek met Christian te voeren terwijl hij aandachtig luisterde.

Op een gegeven moment legde Sarah een geruststellende hand op Christians arm terwijl ze enkele korte woorden wisselden.

De F1-baas begroette vervolgens prinses Eugenie, 33, door de koninklijke familie een snelle kus op de wang te geven.

Na hun korte gesprek legde Sarah bij het afscheid een geruststellende hand op Christians romp.

Later op de avond verschenen ook Mike en Zara Tindall en haar broer Peter Phillips op het circuit om naast de auto van winnaar Max Verstappen te poseren.

De moeder van drie kinderen droeg een witte blazer van ME+EM, een miniatuur zwart leren handtasje van Aspinal en een paar witte Superga-sneakers.

The Duchess of York appeared to say some words of wisdom to Christian Horner as they caught up at the Bahrain Grand Prix yesterday.

The 50-year-old Red Bull boss was at the center of a scandal this week after flirtatious WhatsApp messages he apparently sent to a female colleague were leaked online – days after he was cleared of inappropriate workplace conduct.

At yesterday’s Grand Prix, Christian and his wife Geri, 51, put on a united front as they arrived hand in hand before exchanging a kiss in front of the cameras.

Zara and Mike Tindall, Peter Phillips, the Duchess of York and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were also in the crowd to watch Red Bull secure first and second place in the Bahrain Grand Prix.

After their victory, Sarah Ferguson, Princess Eugenie and Jack walked to the track to congratulate the Red Bull team on their success.

The Duchess of York, who has faced a host of scandals during her time in the spotlight, appeared to have a lively conversation with Christian as he listened attentively.

At one point, Sarah placed a comforting hand on Christian’s arm as they exchanged a few short words.

The F1 boss then greeted Princess Eugenie, 33, by giving the royal a quick kiss on the cheek.

After their brief conversation, Sarah placed a comforting hand on Christian’s torso as they parted.

For the event, Eugenie wore a black floral midi dress from All Saints with fun, floaty sleeves. Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson opted for a light blue Gucci jacket and black trousers.

Later in the evening, Mike and Zara Tindall and her brother Peter Phillips also appeared on the circuit to pose next to the car of winner Max Verstappen.

The mother of three wore a white blazer from ME+EM, a miniature black leather handbag from Aspinal and a pair of white Superga sneakers.

Sarah Ferguson’s appearance at the Bahrain Grand Prix comes as the Mail on Sunday revealed the Duchess was told her skin cancer does not appear to have spread.

Sarah, 65, suffered a devastating blow in January when doctors discovered malignant melanoma during a second bout of reconstructive surgery following her breast cancer diagnosis last year.

The news came as a ‘huge shock’ to Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, but friends said she was determined to ‘come back’.

A friend told the Mail on Sunday that she had just learned that these were all ‘cancer-free’ and that doctors believe there has been no spread of the disease

Although she must remain vigilant and undergo regular 12-week check-ups, the news was the ‘best possible outcome she could have hoped for’ and her prognosis is good.

Christian Horner was cleared to continue as head of Red Bull following an internal investigation into ‘inappropriate conduct’ by the F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH. The 50-year-old has always denied the claims.

The Red Bull F1 boss initially broke cover during Saturday morning’s Grand Prix with no trace of his wife Geri Halliwell after his wife discovered the texts had been leaked while flying on a private jet.

An insider previously told the Mail there would be ‘chaos’ if Geri showed her face at Saturday’s Grand Prix.

Halliwell, who married the Red Bull team boss in 2015, had a “meltdown” when she landed in the Gulf state on a private jet on Thursday and discovered the bombshell messages plastered all over social media.

The 51-year-old singer has a son, Montague George Hector Horner, with Horner.

She also has a daughter, Bluebell Madonna, born in 2006, with former partner and screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.

With a guaranteed front row seat at Fashion Week, a handsome prince for a husband and a career as a model on her CV, Alessandra de Osma is certainly one of the most glamorous royals in Europe – even if you may never have heard of her. heard.

Last week it was announced that the mother of three, 35, had one new Dior couture ambassador for Spain, adding a new chapter to her real-life fairytale journey, which began when she crossed paths with the royal family as a teenager.

Alessandra, then 14, served as a tour guide for 17-year-old Prince Christian of Hanover – stepson of Princess Caroline of Monaco – while he was on holiday in her native Peru.

After six years of long-distance friendship, romance blossomed in 2011 when Alessandra moved to Madrid, where Prince Christian was studying business administration.

The lovebirds announced their engagement in 2017 and tied the knot the same year at a modest registry office in Chelsea, London, before celebrating their wedding the following year with a lavish three-day event in Peru – with guests including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Alessandra, 35, and Christian, 38, currently live in the Spanish capital with their twins Nicolas and Sofia, born in July 2020, and will welcome their third child in March.

Known to her friends as 'Sassa', Alessandra has an impressive CV, with qualifications as a lawyer and a master's degree in fashion and business management.

She signed with Ford Models in New York City at the age of 16 and has gone on to model for a variety of renowned brands, such as Bottega Veneta, Missoni and Pepsi.

The princess adds another achievement to her portfolio and now proudly carries the title of Dior couture ambassador.

Alessandra wrote on Instagram last week: “I am very happy to share that I am the new Dior couture ambassador Spain. Thank you Karen and the rest of the team for thinking of me!'

She shared three photos of herself modeling the resort collection, praising the brand for drawing inspiration from Mexico and collaborating with local artisans.

Peruvian-born Alessandra, 35, has been married since 2017 to Prince Christian of Hanover, 38, the youngest son of Ernst August von Hanover and his first wife Chantal Hochuli.

The couple legally married in November 2017 at a modest registry office in Chelsea, London, before celebrating their nuptials with a lavish three-day event in Peru in March.

Christian, who is second in line to succeed the former Hanoverian throne, is also a descendant of Queen Victoria through her daughter Empress Frederick.

The star-studded Catholic ceremony, held at Peru's Basilica of San Pedro, was attended by Kate Moss, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark. among other things.

The bride stunned in an ivory lace dress by Spanish couturier Jorge Vazquéz a high neck and an extravagant train, while the groom opted for a chic morning suit.

Alessandra was given the honor of wearing the Hanover Floral Tiara, previously worn by Princess Caroline at her wedding in 1999 and by Ernst August Jr.'s wife Ekaterina Malysheva on her wedding day.

The extravagant celebrations continued with lunch at the Club Nacional – where the great and good of Peruvian society have gathered for centuries – and cocktails at Casa Berckemeyer, an art gallery.

Christian, whose mother is Swiss socialite Chantal Hochuli, first met Alessandra in 2005 when the then 14-year-old acted as his tour guide during a visit to Peru.

The teens stayed in touch as friends, but didn't become romantically involved until 2011 when Alessandra moved to Madrid. They dated for six years before announcing their engagement in 2017.

The 35-year-old was born in San Borja, Lima, Peru, to Felipe Juan Luis de Osma Berckemeyer, Executive and Central Commercial Manager of Hermes Transportes Blindados, and Elizabeth María Foy Vásquez, a former model.

Alessandra signed with Ford Models in New York City at the age of 16.

She went on to study law at the University of Lima and obtained a master's degree in fashion and business management from the University of Navarra.

In 2018, she launched accessory label Moi & Sass together with Moira Laporta, specialized in timeless bags, handmade from sustainable leather in Spain.

The brand, which has amassed nearly 30,000 followers on Instagram, designs with an emphasis on delivering durable investment pieces with a minimal aesthetic.

The talented designer appears to get along well with her in-laws, including her brother-in-law Prince Ernst August, named after his father, and sister-in-law Princess Alexandra of Hanover, the only child of Caroline and Ernst August.

The Princess is a well-known presence at Milan Fashion Week and at prominent social gatherings such as the Monaco Rose Ball, consistently showcasing her fashion talent.

Her style choices are inspired by Latino influences, with bold colors, off-the-shoulder necklines and flared ruffles.

Meanwhile, her blossoming handbag brand, often slung over her shoulder, is available in luxury boutiques across Europe.

Christian and Alessandra tend to keep a low profile and largely stay out of the spotlight.

They are parents to twins, Nicolas and Sofia, born in July 2020, and are expecting their third child in March.

Speak with Hello!Alessandra candidly shared her motherhood journey, describing 2020 as one 'very tough year' and yet also the 'most important and happiest'.

She further expressed her commitment to family, saying she started spending more time at home after experiencing motherhood for the first time.

Princess Eugenie radiated elegance at the Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday.

The 33-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, graced the front row in a sophisticated all-black ensemble, featuring a sheath dress and a tuxedo-inspired coat, at the glamorous event at the Ecole Militaire.

The look, a sleek Dior dress, heels and blazer, is a far cry from her usual attire and more reminiscent of something Meghan Markle would wear.

Eugenie has remained close to her 'dear cousin' Harry and has visited the couple in California, perhaps suggesting she could share style tips with Meghan.

With radiant 'Jan tan', a red lip and plenty of eyeliner, the mother of two looked radiant after a luxurious getaway in Jamaica with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, 37, and sons, Ernest, two, and August, eight months.

She expertly styled her outfit with a pair of classic pumps, as her sleek brunette locks fell over her shoulders.

She 'scrubbed' her jacket over her arms – another styling tip Meghan loved.

The royal family is no stranger to 'scrubbing' and loves to drape her coats over her outfits. In 2017, Meghan wore a burgundy leather jacket over her shoulders during the Invictus Games, while she first saw this trend in 2014.

She joins other celebrities such as Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Princess Diana in favoring the look.

The royal family was joined at the highly anticipated fashion show by Kate Moss and Rita Ora, among others.

Meghan was also previously linked to Dior. There was speculation that she would sign a £15 million deal with the French fashion house, but nothing came of it.

Kate Moss, her daughter Lila and Rita Ora led the stars at the Dior Menswear fashion show at the Ecole Militaire in Paris on Friday.

Supermodel Kate, who recently celebrated her 50th birthday, cut a stylish figure for the event in a blue sleeveless top with beading embellishment.

The star also wore black trousers, while she accentuated her figure with a pair of knee-high leather boots.

Kate let her blonde locks fall loose over her shoulders and complemented her outfit with a navy blue glittering handbag.

The model completed her look for the event with a pair of silver hoop earrings and a pearl bracelet.

Hitmaker Rita, 33, turned heads in a white turtleneck top with a matching jumper tied around her chest.

The singer also wore gray pants and black shoes as she wrapped herself in a navy blue jacket on her way to the show.

Rita styled her locks in an updo and completed her look with sunglasses and white earrings.

Also in attendance was Lewis Hamilton, who showed off his trendy sense of style in a brown blazer and matching trousers.

The F1 racer, 39, also wore a low-cut V-neck top and red-tinted sunglasses for the show.

Meanwhile, Pharrel Williams turned heads in a white wool jacket worn over a striped shirt and dark jeans.
