There’s just two months to go until Meghan Markle becomes a fully-fledged member of the royal family, but in the meantime she’s getting in some practice by attending her first official engagement alongside the Queen. Prince Harry’s fiancée (36) joined her future husband (33) and in-laws to be at a service in Westminster Abbey to mark Commonwealth Day. Being involved is something of an honour – Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (36) wasn’t invited to similar events until after she married Prince William (35). Meghan clearly got the memo about the dress code – her white coat, and navy dress and shoes were colour co-ordinated with other senior royals such as Princess Anne (67), Sophie, Countess of Wessex (53) and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (70). The Queen (91) was the only…

I fear it may have started. Well, rather, ended, I guess I should say . It all started when I woke up and assumed my alarm must have been set too early as it was still very dark outside. Surely it was some sort of mistake? But then I found myself looking for a jumper and then a pair of socks, and I started to realise what was going on. The end was upon us – the end of summer . Then I actually heard it happening – the slow cacophony of sneezes and coughs making their way around the building, and the pings on my phone in the mornings when staff began calling in sick. The colds and coughs – even a case of suspected strep throat and whooping…

If her day job doesn’t work out, Reese Witherspoon could always turn her hand to being a tour guide and activities organiser in New Zealand. The Oscar winner has revealed that while she was in the South Island last year filming the Disney movie A Wrinkle in Time, she not only made the most of her days off by getting to see as much of the surrounding countryside as she could, but she also roped in co-star Mindy Kaling to join her on her adventures. In an appearance on The Late Late Show with Mindy (38) and Oprah Winfrey (64), who also stars in the film, she told host James Corden (39), “I scheduled Mindy from morning to night, every day we had a day off. First we’re going to…

What a way to spend the day before your 60th birthday – snuggling up to a hunky younger man while showing off your bikini body on the beach. But when Sharon Stone indulged in a spot of PDA in Miami leading up to her milestone birthday last week, it wasn’t just the handsome man she was frolicking with or how good she looked in very little clothing that grabbed people’s attention. It was the large, flashy diamond ring on her left hand that had people talking and asking the obvious question: Is she engaged? Despite the huge sparkler worn on the finger normally associated with engagement and wedding rings, the answer to that question was no, according to her spokesperson. The Basic Instinct star and her boyfriend Angelo Boffa aren’t…
