‘I go crazy with decorations… it’s almost as if I’m reliving my childhood’ Becky Radiant in a showstopping red gown, Rebekah Vardy embraces her husband Jamie at the spectacular entrance to their country home, surrounded by a sprinkling of freshly fallen snow. If there was ever a scene that epitomises the magic of Christmas, this would be it: the archway around the proud mum and Leicester City star has been festooned with a display of vibrant crimson and shimmering gold foliage, sparkling baubles and a life-size drumming nutcracker. And as the couple welcome HELLO! inside their Lincolnshire farmhouse for this exclusive interview and photoshoot, an enchanting winter wonderland awaits. Leading us through a hallway transformed into a Narnia-style tunnel of sparkling silver and snowy white to themed rooms glowing with rich crimson and golds,…

‘We have a nice home and my kids have food on their plate. I want Theodore and Gigi to realise that’s not the way it is for everybody’ She may be only five months old, but Vogue Williams and husband Spencer Matthews’s baby daughter Gigi is already enamoured with the twinkly lights and decorations that come with the excitement of December. “If Gigi’s whingy, I just show her the Christmas tree – she loves the lights,” Heart Radio DJ Vogue tells HELLO! . “She’s like a fluffy little penguin.” While this is the little girl’s first Christmas, her two-year-old big brother Theodore is just beginning to get into the swing of the festive season, she adds. “We took him to see the Christmas lights and he loved it. And he enjoyed decorating his own tree.” Theodore and…

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have plenty to celebrate this Christmas, after signing a multi-year deal with audio streaming giant Spotify to host and produce their own podcasts. Harry and Meghan have set up an audio production company, Archewell Audio, with the first episode, a “holiday special”, due over the festive season. The venture comes three months after they signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix and six months after they joined the A-list speakers’ agency Harry Walker. Announcing the Spotify deal, which is reportedly worth an estimated $25m (£18m) for their charitable body Archewell, the Duke and Duchess said: “What we love about podcasting is that it reminds all of us to take a moment and to really listen, to connect to one another without distraction. “With the challenges of 2020, there has…

It is one of her favourite festive traditions: decorating the Christmas tree at Clarence House with help from children with serious, life-limiting conditions. And even though the youngsters were unable to attend her party this year, the Duchess of Cornwall was determined to keep the magic alive and so played Fairy Godmother, loading a horse-drawn carriage with gifts and sending it on its way. Camilla also invited ten children supported by Helen & Douglas House hospice in Oxfordshire to virtually help her dress the glittering tree in her hallway – with help from assistant equerry Captain Charlie Ross of the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards, who was close at hand. “Here’s Charlie in his bearskin and he’s going to put your very own special baubles with your name on onto the tree,” she told…

There’s no denying the Duchess of Cornwall can rock a face mask. Rarely wearing the same design twice, and always expertly matching her chosen mask to her outfit and the occasion, Camilla always gets it right – and her recent visit to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital’s Covid-19 vaccination hub was no exception. The 73-year-old teamed her tartan coat and pink scarf with a similarly hued floral face covering as she and the Prince of Wales supported the NHS’s vaccination roll-out programme. “Camilla is inspiring the nation to be safe and keep it stylish with her quirky face masks,” says HELLO! Fashion editor Jill Wanless. “From embellishment to loud prints that perfectly co-ordinate with her outfits, she’s on point.” ‘Camilla is inspiring the nation to be safe and keep it stylish’Jill Wanless, HELLO!
