There’s a distinct buzz of energy in the air when HELLO! arrives on Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Elizabeth’s picturesque farm. It may have a little something to do with the couple adding newborn twins to their family, which includes daughter Marnie, five, three-year-old son Milo, cavapoochon Ginger and a whole host of sheep, alpacas, horses and pigs, not to mention a few chickens. And as they proudly introduce their two new sons in our exclusive photoshoot at home in the Peak District, it’s obvious the Fletchers have taken to becoming a family of six very well indeed. “The first week was just crazy – it was like a circus act when they’re spinning plates,” says Liz, laughing. “I couldn’t physically pick up two babies at once, but now I can do it…

Dressed in their feathered finery, the royal family gathered in Windsor Castle last week as the Duchess of Cornwall cemented her place at the heart of the monarchy. Camilla looked on great form as she joined her husband the Prince of Wales at the Garter Service at St George’s Chapel, to be installed as a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter – the ultimate seal of approval from the Queen. Earlier, Prince Charles and Camilla joined Her Majesty at the castle, where the Duchess was formally invested at a ceremony. Appearing for the first time in her ceremonial robes and plumed cap, Camilla was all smiles as she and Charles stood either side of the monarch, who wore a silver-white gown and her blue Garter sash and held a walking stick.…

It was one small step for women, but one giant leap for womankind on a special day in Parliament at the House of Commons last week. Events kicked off in the Jubilee Room in the Houses of Parliament with a meeting of Menopause Mandate – a group of motivated women who are campaigning to revolutionise the menopause advice and support women receive from health services and wider society.
