It shouldn't have taken a picture of a drowned child to spur everyone into action, but it did. It's quite honestly one of the most heartbreaking images I have ever seen and I am sure you all feel the same. It crystallised the terrible crises that have engulfed much of the Middle East and North Africa men, women and small children willing to risk literally everything to escape their intolerable lives. While we can, and should, pressure governments across Europe to welcome as many refugees as they can (read Gaby Hinsliff on page 76), what's been most inspiring is how we have all come together as a community to help. Broadcaster Dawn O'Porter is just one of a number of public figures using their high profile and social media reach…

Photos: Rex, Splash, Xposure WE BRING YOU EXCLUSIVE NEWS of a regal kind – Prince Harry has a lady in his life once again. Grazia can reveal that romance blossomed in Africa in a secret secluded safari camp in the African bush. And the lady in question? Well, its only his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy. Often referred to by the princes pals as the one that got away , Chelsy dated Harry on and off for the best part of eight years. You will recall that she was even his date to his brothers wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011. But it was shortly afterwards that Grazia exclusively revealed how Chelsy, who was then a trainee lawyer, dumped Harry, as she didnt want a life of duty as a princess. But…

NOT FORTHE FIRSTTIME I have started receiving texts from friends: Clare is it worth it? ; Are you safe? ; Do you need somewhere to hide? They ve seen the latest bizarre threats from the Malaysian government, which has issued an arrest warrant against me and announced they wanted me added to Interpols so-called Red Alert List, which mostly includes terrorists and hijackers (a request rejected last week). I ve been told I m now wanted in 190 countries . I ve also been followed, photographed, and my emails, phone and texts have been hacked. My website has been the subject of cyberattacks, been illegally blocked in Malaysia, and I m currently in London, living under police protection. The whole thing sounds like a spy film, but when you understand…

Photos: Rex Features CHRISSIE HYNDE BLAMES herself for being sexually assaulted by a gang of bikers, and thinks that scantily dressed, drunk women must take responsibility if they are attacked. ‘If I’m walking around in my underwear and I’m drunk? Who else’s fault can it be? she asked last week. Weeeeeeell: I believe it is very much the fault of the person choosing to do the raping. When I was sexually assaulted by an opportunistic stranger, I was wearing jeans and a denim jacket, an ex-boyfriends ex-jumper and DMs. Perhaps my attacker was inspired to jump me after glimpsing a tantalising flash of my wrist flesh? Or perhaps asking women to make efforts to keep themselves good and unraped is unhelpful, rude, missing the point, and ultimately (as case suggests)…

The secret of Boris Johnson’s barnet emerged. He gets his hair cut every two weeks. But no word on how often he brushes it.

Photos: Reuters, PA, Wenn, Eyevine, Getty Images, Rex Features THE PAST FEW MONTHS have seen hundreds of heartbreaking photos come out of the Mediterranean. People crammed into dangerously small boats off the coast of Lampedusa, or being crushed inside football stadiums in Kos under the relentless August sun, or living in squalor in makeshift tented settlements in the wasteland of Calais… Sadly, I could go on. But last week, something changed. On Wednesday afternoon, a photograph began circulating on social media of three-year-old Kurdish refugee Aylan Kurdi, whose lifeless body was washed up on the beach in Bodrum, Turkey, after the overfilled boat he and his family were travelling in capsized in the pitch dark. The family was fleeing their home in the ISIS-besieged city of Kobane, and both Aylan’s…

Photos: Getty Images PREPYOUR CLOSETS, make some space: heres the greatly anticipated and excellent debut collection from supreme fashion partnership Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley. We say debut, but its not the first time these two have successfully collaborated. Once upon a catwalk, the two bright British sparks worked together on Luellas eponymous line before it shuttered in 2009 – Bartley on clothes, Hillier lending her accessories know-how. Earlier this year, the talented twosome split from Marc by Marc Jacobs after three highly commended seasons at the helm because head honchos made the surprise decision to fold the sister range into one overarching Marc Jacobs super-brand. Fortunately, the pair had also been spending time working on their own separate label. Launching exclusively on MatchesFashion.com, Hillier Bartley caters to a girl…

ISTHERE ANYTHING worse than someone breaking up with you? Yes, yes there is. When the person you’ve been dating doesn’t even do you the courtesy of telling you it’s over. Ghosting is the latest dating ‘trend’, and if you thought Tinder was the death of romance, here’s where things get really interesting. The term refers to the increasingly popular practice where someone – the boy you’ve been dating, the man you’re in a relationship with, the friend you thought would always be there for you – disappears, drops off the face of the planet, makes like a ghost. They stop answering your calls and returning your messages, leaving you to gradually, over the course of hours, days and weeks, get the message . Yes, they may haunt your dreams, but…

‘WE CANTAKE A CHILD IN NEED. I m a teacher and would teach the child to speak, read and write… We have clothes, a bed, toys and everything a child needs. I would, of course, pay for the airplane ticket. The single mother who wrote those words on Facebook was just one of thousands last week volunteering to take a Syrian refugee into their own homes. Hekla Stefánsdóttir had probably seen the same haunting pictures weve all seen, before hurriedly turning the page: terrified families clinging to sinking boats in an attempt to reach Europe; fishermen scooping childrens bodies from the sea. Shed probably read the stories weve seen too: about human traffickers charging people a fortune to flee a war zone, only to cram them so tightly into lorries…
