‘The girls take the grandchildren to visit him most weekends’ Five years after the fateful BBC Newsnight interview that spelled the end of his public life, the Duke of York is taking solace in his grandchildren. Prince Andrew, who largely spends his days at Royal Lodge, his 30-bedroom home on the Windsor Estate, has been seen driving three-year-old Sienna – his daughter Princess Beatrice’s child with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 41 – through the park and helping her take the reins as she learns to ride. It’s a tradition that royal children have followed over the decades – his mother, the late Queen, first sat on a pony at the same age. But it also gives a rare insight into how the duke, 64, is keeping himself occupied, with…

You know it’s going to be a dazzling evening when both Dame Joan Collins and Elizabeth Hurley are on the guest list! The British actresses (above) had all eyes on them as they stepped out for London’s 20th annual Shooting Star Ball, a glitzy gala that raises money for children’s hospice care. Looking festive in an ensemble of winter whites, Joan dazzled in a vintage Mark Zunino gown, featuring sparkling silver embellishments, paired with a fabulous snow-hued fur coat. “A wonderful evening with many friends,” the Dynasty star, 91, wrote on Instagram after the event, where she was also joined by her “soulmate,” husband Percy Gibson, 59 (right). Opting for a contrasting all-black look in a gothic 1920s-inspired Alice Temperley dress was her equally age-defying pal Elizabeth. The Austin Powers…

She was once one of Tinseltown’s most prolific leading ladies, so it was only natural that Cameron Diaz should join the festivities at the Elle 2024 Women in Hollywood annual soirée, honouring the exceptional careers of her talented peers. Shimmering in an ensemble designed by event co-sponsor Ralph Lauren, the actress, 52, surprised her celebrity friends, and they were thrilled at the chance to catch up. One of the first to reach in for a hug was honouree Demi Moore, 62, who co-starred with Cameron in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003). Demi was also over the moon to reconnect with pals Rita Wilson, Rosie O’Donnell and Melanie Griffith, her castmates in 1995’s Now and Then. “What a beautiful night of women supporting women!” Demi later shared. “Thirty years ago, we…

The Prince and Princess of Wales paid a touching tribute to young photographer Liz Hatton, who passed away on Nov. 27 after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer earlier this year. The 17-year-old captured hearts around the world just a few weeks ago, when she was pictured sharing a tender hug with Princess Kate at Windsor Castle. “We are so sorry to hear that Liz Hatton has sadly passed away,” the royal couple posted on social media. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Liz’s parents, Vicky and Aaron, and her brother, Mateo, at this unimaginably difficult time. W&C.” William and Kate – who recently completed her own cancer treatment – described Liz in an earlier message as a “talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has…

A NONSENSE CHRISTMAS WITH SABRINA CARPENTER “I wouldn’t count on a silent night,” Sabrina Carpenter says teasingly of her first-ever holiday special, which sees the 25-year-old pop sensation perform songs from her festive EP Fruitcake, along with beloved Christmas covers. “It’s an hour of literal nonsense,” notes the singer, whose special guests range from Shania Twain to Cara Delevingne. “If people are expecting boring, me singing by a tree, it’s not that. It’s so fun.” Netflix THE MERRY GENTLEMEN The weather outside may be frightful, but this Chad Michael Murray rom-com is delightful!

Born and raised in chilly Yellowknife, Dustin Milligan was well prepared to play a come-to-life snowman in Netflix’s new holiday rom-com Hot Frosty, which, as he says, brings all the “warm and fuzzies.” On the set, though, Dustin found it tricky to keep warm, as his character spent quite a bit of time without a shirt on! “I knew it would be a challenge – the physical requirements of being that exposed,” the 39-year-old tells Hello! Canada. “But I was so excited to dive into the physical comedy.” In the end, the whole cast brought “a little extra magic” to the project, he says, including Hallmark movie veteran (and Party of Five alum) Lacey Chabert, who “could not be a kinder, more warm and genuine person.” Here, the Schitt’s Creek…

Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan (bottom, from left) were pictured together for the first time in nine years. The friends looked grief-stricken as they arrived at the service, held at St. Mary’s Church in the English town of Amersham, close to where Liam once lived with Bear and Girls Aloud member Cheryl (left).

Jaleel White’s life changed in 1989, when he rolled up the cuffs of his pants, donned a pair of suspenders, added oversized glasses and squeaked out, “Did I do that?” From then on, he became Steve Urkel, the nerdy standout character on Family Matters, a staple sitcom of ’90s television. “I had no idea that I was such an inspiration for others who were feeling awkward about themselves,” Jaleel, 48, says now. The California native chronicles his rise to fame in a new memoir, Growing Up Urkel, sharing on-set memories with the cast and recalling how he felt about coming of age in the public eye. “I got really lucky in that I just had two parents who had old-fashioned values that were able to hold up,” he says of…
