Demi Moore, 58, was the first to walk the catwalk, and though she looked stoic on the runway, she later gushed that it was “fulfilling a teenage dream”. Meanwhile, the legendary Naomi Campbell, 50, said…

Take a pot shot at Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and they’ve proved they’ll fight back.
