Sommaire pour 1937 de HELLO! magazine

As you browse through this week’s issue of HELLO!, you will notice some four‑legged friends in the magazine alongside their famous owners. Saturday 11 April is National Pet Day, so what better way to celebrate than by looking at the pampered lives of the beloved pets of A‑listers – and royals? We visit our cover star, Mel B, at her farm in Yorkshire on a very windy day to meet her brood of chickens – as well as her two goats, three dogs and cat – as she reveals how returning to her northern roots and marrying for the third time has helped her to bounce back from a difficult few years. Plus, Scary Spice sets the record straight on those Spice Girls reunion rumours. We join former HELLO! cover…

Standing resplendent on London’s Hyde Park Corner, The Lanesborough hotel – a near neighbour of Buckingham Palace – has hosted stars including Madonna and Mariah Carey over the years. And one permanent resident, Lilibet the cat, has also made quite a name for herself. The Siberian Forest cat, who bears the late Queen Elizabeth II’s childhood nickname, has captivated many celebrity guests since becoming The Lanesborough’s resident feline friend in 2019. “Goldie Hawn thinks Lilibet is gorgeous,” says Simon Thomas, the hotel’s head concierge. “A lot of guests ask for her as soon as they come in.” Now seven years old, Lilibet, who is a hypoallergenic, is The Lanesborough’s first hotel cat and represents its core value of “family spirit”. “She’s a pedigree; she comes from a long line of…

Kicking off the Easter weekend, the King and Queen visited north Wales last week for the Royal Maundy service – one of the Christian church’s oldest traditions. Excited crowds lined the streets in St Asaph to greet the royal couple as they arrived at the city’s cathedral. It was only the second time in its 800‑year history that the service had been held in Wales – and its first time in North Wales – with the Dean of St Asaph Cathedral, Nigel Williams, saying that the city was “deeply honoured” to host it. Charles wore a morning suit and a dark overcoat, while Camilla donned a navy blue Dior ensemble consisting of a silk crepe pleated dress and an embroidered wool coat. She accessorised with a fetching hat by Philip…

Peter Phillips and his fiancee, Harriet Sperling, have chosen a charming village church a few miles from his mother’s estate for the royal wedding of the year. Peter, son of the Princess Royal and eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, will tie the knot with Harriet at All Saints Church in Kemble, Gloucestershire, on 6 June. It is seven miles from Gatcombe Park, his mother’s estate, where he is understood to have a house, and about eight miles from the King’s country retreat at Highgrove. Peter, 48, who is 19th in line to the throne and a first cousin of the Prince of Wales, was previously married to Autumn Kelly. They divorced in 2021 and co-parent their two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 14. Harriet, an NHS paediatric…

Behind the world’s most famous front door, at 10 Downing Street, there is a strict hierarchy. The right to access all areas is reserved for a handpicked few: the prime minister, his closest aides and Larry, the Downing Street cat. Larry, 19, is marking 15 years in post as chief mouser to the Cabinet Office, a period of longevity unmatched by any prime minister since the early 19th century. Last week, he defied those who accuse him of low productivity by catching a mouse in the courtyard of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and devouring it on the grass next to No 10. The cat, who was brought in by David Cameron in 2011, has outlasted five residents, and Westminster insiders suggest there is an even chance that he will…

QUEEN ELIZABETH II BBC film will celebrate her legacy A new documentary about the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II will feature the actress Dame Helen Mirren, the broadcaster Sir David Attenborough and President Barack Obama. The BBC film, Queen Elizabeth II: Her Story, Our Century, will mark the late Queen’s 100th birthday, recounting a century of change in Britain and beyond. It will air on BBC One and iPlayer, although the date is yet to be announced. The nation’s longest‑reigning monarch in history, Elizabeth served as head of state for more than 70 years. TIGER WOODS Golfer takes career break for treatment Tiger Woods said he was stepping away from his golf career “to seek treatment and focus on my health” following a car crash. The winner of…

Name a famous hairstyle and the chances are that Sam McKnight has had a hand in it (quite literally). A true architect of modern hair, he has shaped the look of fashion one artfully tousled strand at a time, earning an MBE for services to the British fashion and beauty industries. From runway royalty (Kate Moss has him on speed-dial) to actual royalty (Princess Diana was both a client and a friend), Sam is the master of the perfectly imperfect finish. Although his feats of coiffure wizardry are legendary backstage (no one does a bouncy blow-dry quite like him), it’s his signature “cool-girl” texture that’s become his calling card. But it’s not just his A-list clientele that keeps followers hooked. Fans of his personal account will know that there’s another…

She was once known as the “bad girl of British art”, but now, Dame Tracey Emin’s career is being celebrated at London’s Tate Modern in a major retrospective of her work, which spans four decades. More than 90 pieces are on display, including her 2024 painting The End of Love, which shows Tracey’s bed and her cats, Teacup and Pancake. They are an “important part of her life”, says the Tate’s former director Maria Balshaw, who has curated the new exhibition. She describes Tracey as “probably the most significant – and certainly the most powerful – British artist of her generation”, adding: “She’s a household name.” FELINE FRIENDS Teacup and Pancake, whom Tracey has described as her “whole world”, are the first to see her new work and frequently appear…

As she runs through a muddy field with windswept hair to catch an errant chicken, Melanie Brown is about as far away from belting out girl-power tunes at Wembley Stadium as you can get. But this is the former Spice Girl’s happy place, the Yorkshire farm where she has finally found a safe haven. The singer’s two goats follow her through the grass at this exclusive HELLO! interview and photoshoot, as her chickens cluck and her dog, Cookie, snuggles inside a purpose-built shed – decked out partly in leopard print, naturally. There are also two rottweilers (trained to act as security), a cat called Sorn and five ducks. “It’s beautiful and peaceful here and the animals make me feel very calm,” says Mel, 50. “If I’m not feeling too good…

THE KING The actress Carey Mulligan looked delighted to be awarded a CBE by the King for services to drama during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle. The Academy Award-nominated star, whose films include The Great Gatsby and Drive, said: “I feel so unbelievably lucky to get to do a job that I really, really love. To have this kind of recognition on top is just extraordinary to me.” MONACO’S ROYAL FAMILY Prince Albert, Princess Charlene and their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, 11, welcomed Pope Leo XIV to Monaco in the first papal visit to the principality in nearly 500 years. The pontiff flew by helicopter from Vatican City for the one-day visit, which concluded with an outdoor Mass at the Louis II Stadium. QUEEN MÁXIMA OF THE…

It’s a windy afternoon in London’s West End and Vanessa Williams is walking Roscoe, her Great Dane. The American actress and singer, known for her role in Ugly Betty, is starring as the fierce magazine editor Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada at the Dominion Theatre, and her six-year-old dog accompanies her to the venue every day. When HELLO! meets the pair, we’re instantly won over by Roscoe, who greets us affectionately. Vanessa is glamorous in a green suit by Donna Ida and a scarf from N. Peal; her canine companion, meanwhile, sports a blue tag on his collar. “It’s his emotional support tag,” says Vanessa, 63, who reveals that Roscoe is her emotional support animal (ESA) – a title not legally recognised in the UK but approved by…

Hermione Norris is “very excited” about turning 60 next year. Having weathered a tough childhood and a “boring” menopause, the actress – mother to son Wilf, 21, and daughter Hero, 18 – now feels that she has captured the ‘“alchemy” of what life is all about. “I’m not who I was ten years ago and I really like it,” she tells Ateh Jewel on this week’s episode of hello!’s Second Act podcast. “I like being present, which I don’t think is possible until you’re in your fifties. “When you get older, it becomes less about exterior achievement and more an internal journey, which is incredible. I say to my daughter that at my age, you realise that the only true hurt is when you haven’t been true to yourself.” She…

‘Just yesterday, my eight-month-old puppy, Moby, a poodle-boxer cross, made one heck of a mess. Again. He dragged all his toys from his bed in the utility room, including a pig’s ear from the local butcher and a muddy stick. When I emerged from a meeting, everything was scattered around the kitchen like a playroom apocalypse, with Moby fast asleep contentedly in the middle of it all. Did I huff, scream or stamp my foot? No. I smiled fondly and revelled in his bouncy delight at my arrival in the kitchen. In acquiring what might be described as an empty-nest pet, I join more than a quarter of parents who have waved farewell to one litter of expensive young things before welcoming another in the form of puppies, kittens or…

STAY The Goodwood Hotel sits within the historic 11,000-acre working estate and premier sporting venue in West Sussex. Along its outer boundary, two former dairy buildings, Cowman’s Cottage and Dairymaid’s Cottage, have been converted into wholesome accommodation with plenty of eye-catching design details. We stayed in Cowman’s, a three-bedroom (all en-suite) retreat with bespoke wallpapers, plush furnishings and a playful collection of animal-related art. Although slightly removed from the main hotel, it offers access to the Goodwood Health Club, with its gym, indoor pool and sauna. Guests can also dine at the exclusive members’ clubhouse, The Kennels. Goodwood is known for its dog-friendly approach across the estate, and our four-legged friends, Ted, Jack and Fin, made full use of thoughtful extras such as dog beds and bowls during our three-day…

LISA AND KRISTIN STILL FIRM FRIENDS Friends star Lisa Kudrow and Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis reunited in Los Angeles at a high-profile charity dinner hosted by the Human Rights Campaign last week. The meeting came 26 years after Kristin, 61, made a memorable cameo in Lisa’s hit sitcom as Erin, a love interest of Joey Tribbiani. Lisa, 62, is celebrating the long-awaited third season of her cult comedy The Comeback, which is now streaming on HBO Max UK. The actress recently confessed that she has finally started to rewatch Friends for the first time, but has been hiding it from her husband, Michel Stern. “I sit in the family room and wait until my husband goes to sleep because I’m too embarrassed for anyone to see me watching…

Selma Blair’s most loyal companion is not fully versed in red-carpet etiquette. At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last year, Scout the labrador showed perhaps too keen an interest in the actress Laverne Cox as she and Selma caught up. “He almost pawed her Mugler,” Selma tells HELLO!. “She was regal about it, but… paws off the finery, Scout!” Selma, 53, shot to fame after appearing in the 1999 film Cruel Intentions, going on to star in Legally Blonde and the Hellboy franchise. Two decades later, her appearance at the Academy Awards in 2019, when the visibly emotional actress took to the red carpet with the help of a diamond-encrusted walking stick, made headlines around the world. It came just four months after she announced on Instagram that she had…

On the day that the Duke of Sussex gave a keynote speech about privacy in Washington, his father’s long-planned state visit to the US was officially confirmed. Following government advice, the King and Queen will attend a glittering banquet at the White House this month. The monarch will also address a joint meeting of Congress in Washington – the first royal address there since 1991 – as part of events to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence. For the first time since last September, father and son will be on the same side of the Atlantic. But there will be no meeting for the King with Prince Harry, whose home in Montecito, California, is a five-hour flight from the US capital. BUSY LIVES Harry made the journey to Washington…

In the dogs vs cats debate, the royal family have firmly chosen their side. Although felines have occasionally patrolled the halls of regal residences, the dog has enjoyed the patronage of every British and English monarch since the reign of Henry VIII. The King is said to be so averse to cats that he can detect whether one lives in a house, even if it is absent at the time. Brian Hoey, a former BBC correspondent and the author of the Princess Royal’s official biography, writes in his exhaustive book Pets by Royal Appointment that the monarch “cannot bear” to touch them. “Princess Margaret gave him a kitten as a present when he was a child and he disliked it on sight,” Brian writes. “Since then, he has developed an…

From a majestic black cat named after a queen to an aristocratic chihuahua, via a distinguished dachshund and a pearl-wearing poodle with a resemblance to the musician Frank Zappa, the striking portraits created by Carly Wiggins have made her the go-to illustrator for devoted animal lovers. The artist, 47, tells HELLO!: “I love painting people’s pets because it brings them so much joy. It’s always exciting when my drawings are given as gifts, and even more rewarding to hear how people’s faces light up when they see the likeness of their cat or dog captured in ink or watercolour. Everyone enjoys a tribute to their favourite pet.” Although most of Carly’s celebrity clients prefer to remain anonymous, she is happy to reveal that one of the most famous among them…

Although she has worked in theatre, TV and film for almost 50 years, Frances Barber is still amazed when a new role comes her way. “I used to lament that I would never be cast as Juliet because I wasn’t the blonde pretty girl,” says the actress, who has portrayed the likes of Eliza in Pygmalion and Lady Macbeth. “But I think it’s worked in my favour because I’ve got to play all different kinds of characters. I’m lucky that I haven’t been pigeonholed.” Indeed, Frances, 67, has taken on an impressive range of projects, from classical theatre to TV series such as Doctor Who and Whitstable Pearl, and films including Prick Up Your Ears and Sammy and Rosie Get Laid. Despite her extensive list of credits, there is one…

After training at the couture house of Dominique Sirop and working with Jean‑Paul Gaultier at Hermès, Marc‑Antoine Barrois established his own maison in 2009. In 2016, he teamed up with the perfumer Quentin Bisch to create his debut scent, B683. Its spicy, leathery notes drew on a childhood fascination with Antoine de Saint‑Exupéry’s popular novella The Little Prince. Rooted in northern France’s centuries‑old textile culture, his eponymous brand celebrates the human imagination through books, comics and exhibitions. A self‑confessed perfectionist, he has resisted the industry’s churn of constant releases, instead unveiling a tightly edited collection over the past decade. His latest fragrance, B87.135 Extrait, launched at Harrods this month, its name having been inspired by the store’s Brompton Road address. Marc‑Antoine is married and has three children. ‘My ultimate luxury…
