There’s an unmistakable poignancy to our cover story this week. Just two years after being welcomed back into royal life, Sarah Ferguson once again finds herself on the sidelines – and without any royal status, as ex-husband Prince Andrew finally gives up his Duke of York title, meaning she is no longer a duchess. However complex her own history (she has admitted to serious lapses in judgment), it’s hard not to feel for Sarah – who has battled cancer twice – and, more so, her daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as they navigate the fallout from Andrew’s missteps. Above all, our sympathies lie with the family of his late accuser, Virginia Giuffre, whose posthumous memoir brings fresh and painful details to light. Amid the sadness, though, life and love…

‘I GET TO BE AN OLD-TIME HOLLYWOOD MOVIE STAR!’Jennifer They may have called it quits on romance, but Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck remain each other’s biggest cheerleaders. The former husband and wife – who finalized their divorce in January – reunited in New York City for the première of Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring Jennifer and executive-produced by Ben and his longtime friend Matt Damon. Despite their recent split, the pair appeared perfectly at ease, smiling for photos as Ben leaned in to whisper to his ex-wife. “I wouldn’t dream of not being here,” said Ben, 53. “This is an incredible story – the kind of role Jennifer has wanted to play her whole career, and she’s fabulous in it.” Returning the compliment, J.Lo credited her ex with…

Lady Gaga proved she hasn’t lost her flair for spectacle as she kicked off the U.K. leg of The Mayhem Ball – her first stadium tour in three years. Just as she had done previously in Toronto, the pop superstar commanded London’s O2 arena with a 29-song set of her biggest hits and a series of jaw-dropping costume changes, including a Tudor-inspired crimson creation by designers Samuel Lewis and Candice Cuoco for “Bloody Mary.” (The skirt dramatically split open during the song to reveal a cage of dancers beneath!) Now 39 and engaged to tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky – who also serves as co-producer on the tour – Gaga grew visibly emotional as she thanked the 20,000-strong crowd for their devotion, telling them, “Before I came onstage tonight, I couldn’t…

Call them the new Fab Four! When the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa to Windsor Castle during the Jordanian royals’ U.K. visit, even their style was in sync. Matching in blue suits, the two future kings posed in the White Drawing Room with their wives, who wore complementary outfits. Princess Kate, 43, was the picture of polished sophistication in a camel Roland Mouret pantsuit paired with a silk pussy-bow blouse, while Princess Rajwa, 31, gave royal glamour a fresh twist in a black strapless jumpsuit layered over a crisp collared shirt, accessorized with red heels and a sable clutch. Video footage released by Kensington Palace showed the couples – who had last seen each other at Hussein and Rajwa’s lavish 2023 wedding in…

Sharing lots of laughs on a day out in Northern Ireland, the Prince and Princess of Wales put their loving partnership fully on display. From baking traditional potato cakes and collecting apples to riding in a fire truck and attempting a floodwater rescue drill, the royal couple looked more relaxed and happy than ever. And as they prepare to move into their new “forever home” on the Windsor estate within days, they are very much focused on the future, having overcome an extraordinarily challenging 18 months. A source close to the Waleses tells Hello!: “This is very much the start of a new chapter after some difficult years at Adelaide Cottage, and they’re looking forward to making happy memories in their new home.” William and Kate will settle into Forest…

Denmark’s future king is ready for his close-up! Crown Prince Christian stars in a set of photos released by his proud parents, King Frederik and Queen Mary, in honour of his 20th birthday – and the images show him in a refreshingly relaxed light. “The day is marked by the publication of a new official portrait series of the birthday boy,” read the accompanying social media post. One dashing snap shows Christian suiting up and knotting his tie, while others capture him, more casually, in a rolled-sleeve denim shirt. All were taken at and around the royal family’s Copenhagen residence, Amalienborg Palace, offering fans a rare glimpse inside its elegant interiors. Noticing the handsome heir’s resemblance to both parents, admirers quickly flooded the comments section with best wishes for the…

Whenever the Wednesday star steps onto a red carpet, she leaves a lasting impression – and her show-stopping Emmy Awards appearance was no exception. Makeup artist Mélanie Inglessis turned to Dior for the 23-year-old actress, creating jewel-toned eyes with a hint of baby-blue shimmer, dewy skin that let Jenna’s freckles shine through and bold berry-brown lips for a moody yet modern finish. Celebrity hairstylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez completed the look with an enigmatic low knot and soft, face-framing strands that added just the right touch of mystery and edge – perfect for Wednesday Addams!…

BLUE-JEAN BABY Gap’s latest collab features a mother-daughter duo for the ages: Gwyneth Paltrow and rising star Apple Martin. Shot for the latest GapStudio (a premium clothing collection launched and led by Zac Posen), the portraits mark their first joint appearance in a major fashion campaign. Creative director Zac tapped the Oscar winner, 53, and her 21-year-old to embody the brand’s intergenerational spirit – timeless yet modern.

When Whitney Hawkings and her husband, fashion designer Peter, were ambitious 20-somethings, they would often stroll through Chelsea, pausing to admire a grand Georgian townhouse and dreaming that one day they might live in a place just like it. More than two decades later, the couple have fulfilled that dream: they’re the proud owners of that very same six-storey home, which overlooks the Thames River. “We walked past it so many times when we were young and just married, saying, ‘Oh my God. What would it be like to live in that house?’” Whitney – who now owns one of London’s most luxurious floral studios – recalls in our exclusive interview. “When Peter and I sat down a couple of years ago to figure out what our dream house would…

CAMERON DIAZ & JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE They first locked eyes at the 2003 Kids’ Choice Awards, where Cameron presented Justin with the Best Burp trophy (she was a past winner!). They dated for four years and have stayed friendly, making their onscreen reunion in 2011’s Bad Teacher a pleasure for both. “We’re good at being funny together,” she told Fame magazine. “We know how to do that. That’s easy.” MARIAH CAREY & NICK CANNON The superstar singer shares 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with The Masked Singer host Nick, whose star turn in her 2008 “Bye Bye” music video sparked a six-year marriage. “I will never have a love like I had with Mariah,” Nick, now a father of 12, said in 2022. Today, they’re amicable co-parents, with Mariah telling Gayle…

She may not have walked the runway, but Charlize Theron stole the spotlight at Paris Fashion Week, turning heads at the Givenchy show in a daring, barely there top by the luxury label. “Up to some mischief…,” the 50-year-old South African actress coyly captioned an Instagram reel that showed her strutting from her hotel (right) to an awaiting car. Once she arrived, all eyes were on her effortlessly cool take on modern glamour. The strands of jewels covered a black bra, worn beneath a crisp white suit. Charlize chose bold accessories to top off the look – sculptural thong sandals, shield sunglasses and dangling crystal earrings – while debuting longer blond locks in place of her signature bouncy bob. Reflecting on her approach to self-expression in a recent interview, the…

‘LOOK THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT IN THE EYE AND BE FULLY THERE’Princess Kate She has long championed the power of the great outdoors – now, the Princess of Wales is encouraging us to nurture something even more vital: our connections with each other. In a heartfelt new essay, Princess Kate, 43, invites readers to slow down and truly engage with the people they love. “Look the people you care about in the eye and be fully there – because that is where love begins,” she writes, offering a message that feels both timeless and timely. The future Queen – who has made early childhood the cornerstone of her royal work – warns that digital life has come at a cost. Our devices, she says, have become “sources of constant…

Her joy was palpable. Posting a photo from the grounds of Windsor Castle during the Coronation Concert for the King, Sarah Ferguson was radiant – over-whelmed with happiness and gratitude at being accepted back into the royal fold after so many years on the fringes. “I felt so lucky to be invited and included,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing an image of herself with daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. “To enjoy it all was such an honour, and I am deeply grateful.” Now, her royal title gone as a result of exhusband Prince Andrew’s actions, that fairytale is unequivocally over, leaving observers left to wonder how the former duchess and her daughters will move forward in light of the scandal that has once again cast a shadow over the…

DREW BARRYMORE Wins first-ever Emmy award Drew Barrymore is sharing her joy after being named Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host at the 52nd Emmy Awards. Her eponymous show also won for makeup and direction. “I hope we get to do this together forever!” said the E.T. star, 50, who won a Golden Globe for Grey Gardens in 2010. Other first-time Emmy winners included soap actors Paul Telfer (Days of Our Lives) and Susan Walters (The Young and the Restless).

Proving that humour – and great hair! – runs in the family, Kate Hudson paid a hilarious and heartfelt tribute as she accepted a special award in Beverly Hills, Calif. “I want to thank my mom and my pa for being an example of true love and what commitment is – and for having the courage and the confidence and the discipline to have the same hairstyles for 40 years,” joked the Running Point star of mother Goldie Hawn, 79, and her partner, Kurt Russell, 74 (who isn’t Kate’s biological dad but helped raise her and older brother Oliver). Turning more reflective, the actress, 46 – who was honoured by the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation for her philanthropic work – credited her “great teacher” and “model” Goldie with…

She’s Canadian royalty – with a runway worthy of the title! Walking for her close friend Christian Siriano, supermodel Coco Rocha stole the spotlight at an exclusive fashion show staged inside Lympne Castle in Kent, England. The historic 950-year-old property – owned by The Real Housewives of Toronto alum Ann Kaplan Mulholland and her husband, retired plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Mulholland – was transformed into a “fairytale” setting for the evening, Ann tells Hello! Canada. Fire-eating knights and dancing beefeaters set the scene amid rolling “fog” before Coco made a dramatic entrance. “Her silhouette turned playfully, her massive hat cocked and her body framed to present the art – the lines of a beautiful Christian Siriano design,” recalls Ann. “It was a moment that could never be replicated.” Coco later…

For a picture-perfect beach day, visit Dubovica Bay – considered among the most beautiful on the Adriatic Sea – or hop on a boat to the nearby Pakleni Islands, a small archipelago with hidden coves and magical swimming spots. On land, Hvar Town is the place for bustling cafés and nightlife, while history lovers will adore quieter Stari Grad – one of Europe’s oldest settlements. For panoramic views, the 30-minute hike to Napoleon Fortress is well worth it – especially at sunset.

This is Demi Lovato’s year – both personally and professionally. Happily married to fellow musician Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, 34, since May, she’s releasing her new album, It’s Not That Deep – a collection of upbeat pop songs with a title that reflects her current state of mind. “It really came from me not taking myself too seriously,” she explains. “It’s where I am in my life right now.” In the past, Demi has been candid about her mental health struggles – including eating disorders and substance abuse – but today finds herself in a really stable place. “I’m feeling great,” the 33-year-old shares. “I’m feeling so excited for the new album (pictured, right). I’m feeling grateful. I’m excited for what the future holds.” Here, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer opens…

Jennifer Lawrence has never been one to hide behind the Hollywood facade. Whether she’s tripping on the red carpet or cracking a joke mid-interview, the Oscar winner has always seemed refreshingly real. But her new film, Die My Love, takes her to a place she’s never gone before – one that’s raw, painful and deeply personal. The movie follows a new mother whose life begins to unravel in the solitude of the countryside. It’s a haunting portrait of post-partum depression – and for Jennifer, it hit close to home. “There was a lot that I identified with in terms of the kind of identity crisis that you have when you first become a mother,” she shares when we catch up with her at the San Sebastián Film Festival. “It changes…

The Spencer sisters never fail to impress with impeccable style – and their latest fashion choices at the inaugural British Museum Ball were no exception. Identical twins Eliza and Amelia, 33, flawlessly embraced the pink theme in co-ordinating Carolina Herrera gowns and Chatila jewelry. “We definitely have the same taste, so it’s usually pretty easy to decide on our looks,” Lady Eliza told Hello! earlier this year. “The best part is that we always end up feeling in sync.” Eliza sparkled in a slinky salmon number, while Amelia went bold in an asymmetrical dress covered in red roses, with a dramatic bow tied at her waist. The daughters of Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, grew up in South Africa, but they have made their mark on the London social scene…

She was acclaimed, accomplished and undeniably loved. The death of Diane Keaton, at 79, ushered in a flood of tributes that highlighted her legacy in Hollywood and, more notably, the formidable woman she was. “It’s hard to believe…or accept…that Diane has passed,” wrote fellow Oscar winner Jane Fonda, who worked with the actress in 2018’s Book Club and its sequel – both, fittingly, about women embracing the moment. “She was always a spark of life and light, constantly giggling at her foibles, being limitlessly creative…Unique is what she was.” Echoing the sentiment, Bette Midler remembered her peer in The First Wives Club (1996) as “a complete original and completely without guile, or any of the competitiveness one would have expected from such a star.” Keanu Reeves, meanwhile, described his love…

Surrounded by love – and legends – on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Naomi Watts, 57, was floored not only by all the accolades but also by a surprise comedic appearance from her King Kong co-star Jack Black, 56. Calling the experience “surreal” as her star was unveiled, the British-born, Australian-raised actress paid tribute to her family, saying she’s “so proud” of the two children she shares with ex Liev Schreiber. “My son, Sasha, a freshman at USC, is here straight from class…He’s blossoming into the kindest, most charismatic young man.” She went on to describe her daughter, Kai, 16 (who was at school), as “both fierce and fearless.” ABSENT FRIENDS The Mulholland Drive actress also gave a shoutout to late director David Lynch, mimicking his playful advice: “Naomi, anyone…

Ten years ago, Peter James was delighted to learn that the Queen was one of his biggest fans. Fast-forward a decade: he and Camilla have become close friends, and the prolific author has yet another new book hitting shelves – thanks in no small part to Her Majesty. It all began in 2015, when Peter saw a photo of Camilla sitting in her office with a collection of his Roy Grace detective books in the background. Naturally, he was elated. “I wrote her a letter. I just said, ‘Thank you so much, delighted.’ She wrote me a really chatty, handwritten letter back and we started our correspondence,” he tells Hello! Canada. “I would send her every new book, and she’d always [reply]. And then, in 2019, she wrote to me,…
