Prince George is the big four! And it wouldn’t be a birthday for one of the littlest royals without an official portrait to show the tot’s lovable smile. Released by Kensington Palace on July 22, the photo was taken by Chris Jackson, the husband of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s (35) personal assistant Natasha Archer. George’s parents have revealed he is obsessed with planes, bubbles make him laugh and he’s “big into his stickers. He likes dinosaurs,” Prince William (35) has said. George spent his birthday travelling around Poland and Germany on a tour with his parents, and his younger sister Princess Charlotte (2). Much to his delight, he even sat in the cockpit of a rescue helicopter. But all eyes will be on the young prince in September when he…

Every year it gets to be the end of the New Zealand International Film Festival and I have the same big regret: not buying more tickets. Yes, it’s due to that fear I’ve missed something gr eat, but if I’m totally honest I’m disappointed that I’ve missed another opportunity to visit the grand old Civic Theatre. Every time I walk up those winding stair cases, I’m taken back to my childhood, all dressed up to go to a play with Mum, while I listen to her tell me what it was like to visit the theatre back when she was just a child herself. And if the play or the movie is rubbish, I can happily spend the time just looking around at the panthers, all those intricate turrets and…

She’s been single since her high-profile romance with Australian cricketer Shane Warne ended in 2015, but it seems Elizabeth Hurley (52) has found a new man! The actress was spotted boarding a private jet in Italy with music producer David Foster (67), following a loved-up holiday on a superyacht off the coast of Sardinia. While there’s been no confirmation of a new romance, the pair shared strikingly similar photos on their Instagram accounts of their luxurious vacation, which certainly appear to be taken on the same boat. David, a Canadian famous for producing artists such as Andrea Bocelli, Michael Buble, Celine Dion and Rod Stewart, among others, is the ex-husband of Dutch-American reality television personality Yolanda Hadid (53), who is the mother of supermodels Gigi Hadid (22) and her sister…

‘A lot of those memories ended up being incredibly joyous. They talked about love, they talked about hugs’ It has been hailed as one of the most candid and moving insights into the life of Princess Diana and how her tragic death affected her sons. The documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, in which Princes William and Harry shared deeply personal, never-before-revealed memories of their beloved mum, tugged on millions of heartstrings when it screened last week. The fact the brothers opened up so much about the mother they lost in a Paris car crash 20 years ago this August, when they were just 15 and 12, not only came as something of a surprise to the documentary team, but to William and Harry themselves. Executive producer Nicolas…

According to the man who was once one of Diana’s closest confidants, William and Harry are to be applauded for speaking out about their mum. Paul Burrell, who was Diana’s butler and good friend, says he was moved by the documentary because it was so “candid, honest and raw. I want to say well done to the boys, they are a credit to their mother.” The princes haven’t spoken to Paul since he released a memoir about his time working for their mother, but the butler, who can be seen in the background is some of the clips from the film, says he’s proud of William and Harry, who learned important lessons from Diana. “She instilled in them her ideals, hopes and dreams. That’s what this programme is about. She…

‘The two of us were bouncing between the two. We probably never saw our mother enough, or our father enough’ Among the personal details William and Harry shared about their mum was the heartbreaking revelation that they rushed a phone call with Diana on the day she died, not realising it would be the last time they would ever speak to her. The pair were at Balmoral with the rest of the royal family when Diana rang them from Paris, where she was on holiday with Dodi Fayed. “Harry and I were running around, playing with our cousins and having a very good time,” William recalls in the documentary. He cut the conversation short because he wanted to get back to the games. “If I’d known what would happen, I…
