Last week, the Queen spent time with her grandson, Prince Harry (see page 9), before he set off for the Invictus Games (whatever you may think of the Royal dynamics at the moment, what a brilliant idea of his those games were). On Thursday, the above picture was released, showing her radiant and with ponies. Her love of horses and corgis is well known. She then spent her 96th birthday quietly at Sandringham. Poignant, as it’s where her late husband Prince Philip spent much of his last years. At the weekend, she had a small tea party (maybe with a cake with many candles?!) with family and close friends. And Barbie released a tribute collection to mark the Jubilee – personally, I feel the doll looks more like Helen Mirren…

Last week, the Queen welcomed a very special visitor at Windsor Castle – her grandson Harry, who dropped in along with his wife, Meghan Markle. The visit was one of the first face-to-face meetings Harry, 37, has had with his grandmother – who has just turned 96 – since ‘Megxit’ in January 2020. A stop-off on the couple’s way to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games, Harry later spoke openly on the NBC’s Today show, saying: ‘Being with her, it was great. It was so nice to see her… she’s on great form. ‘We have a really special relationship. We talk about things that she can’t talk about with anybody else, so it’s always nice to catch up with her. ‘She’s always got such a great sense of humour with…

‘I didn’t realise until this week what a fan of Only Fools and Horses I am – even though one of my nicknames is ‘Del’ and I call my friend (the Ed-in-Chief of best – hi, Siobhan!) “Rodders”. I also love a sheepskin coat à la Del Boy, and my French is as good as his – “mange tout, Rodney!” The epiphany came after Tessa Peake-Jones and Gwyneth Strong, who played Raquel and Cassandra, Del and Rodney Trotter’s girlfriends, were on Loose Women. I mean, I always liked it, but nowhere near as much as some superfans; like my nephew, who can literally quote every word from every episode, and has watched them all a thousand times and still thinks it’s hilarious. Which of course, it is. Harmless, affectionate and…

1 THE NEW BOB Looking for inspo? Try the Italian bob, says hairstylist Zoë Irwin. ‘In France and Italy, hairdressers strengthen the cut, essential if your features are getting softer with age.’ This contemporary cut is slightly rounded, with weightier movement and a stronger line. ‘It makes grey hair look modern and creates a strong visual affirmation of who you are,’ explains Zoë. To complement this look, Klorane Quinine Hair Strengthening Serum, £24.50, leaves hair glossy while working to strengthen and thicken locks. 2 FRINGE BENEFITS A wispy fringe can bring youthfulness to your look. ‘Cheekbone-skimming curtain bangs are a fantastic choice, as they can part on the side or in the middle, highlighting the bone structure of the face,’ suggests Olivier Noha, advanced creative stylist at Aveda. The longer…

1 WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF FINANCIAL ABUSE? Menna Cule, financial planner at Brewin Dolphin, explains: ‘The first is coercive, controlling behaviour within a relationship when one person deliberately restricts access to, or solely controls all their partner’s finances, leaving them with no money for basic essentials. This is often part of a wider narrative of controlling and manipulating behaviour and, according to Women’s Aid, there was a financial element to nearly a third of domestic abuse. ‘The second is when one partner restricts or risks their partner’s or family’s ability to financially look after itself through irresponsible behaviour such as reckless spending on addictions such as gambling, alcohol or shopping.’ According to Menna, the third type is when the perpetrator is privy to someone’s financial details and uses these…

CORONATION STREET A defiant Max assures David and Shona that Daniel is bluffing as he’s got too much to lose. But when Amy misreads one lad’s admiring glances, she throws a cup of coffee over him and has a meltdown, believing he could have been the one to spike her drink. Daniel tells David about Amy’s behaviour and tells him she needs to know the truth. Will Max come clean? Elsewhere, Carla also has some questions to answer, when news of Jacob’s new job at the factory reaches Simon, Toyah, Nick, Leanne and Peter. EASTENDERS Harvey has a change of heart and tells Jean to keep the wedding dress. After a pep talk from Martin and Shirley, Stacey marches over to the cab office and pleads with Harvey not to…

1 ON THE ROAD WITH HUMPHREY! Former EastEnders actress Michelle Collins loves her pooch Humphrey so much that she’s even taken him on tour with her – as she appears in theatres across the UK in the gripping whodunnit, Cluedo.

Gaby, 57, lives in London with her husband, David, and two daughters, Libbi-Jack, 20, and Amelie, 15.

It was a very happy Easter recently for presenters Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson, who found their standin stint on This Morning was a massive hit with viewers. The All Star Family Fortunes host joined the former Big Brother star to front the ITV daytime show while regular hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were off spending the break with their families – and viewers were enchanted by the easy chemistry they shared. In fact, some were so keen on the duo that they called for them to replace Holly and Phil permanently. Taking to Twitter, the posts included the likes of, ‘Josie and Vernon make such a refreshing change to P and H. Keep them on!’ and, ‘It’s got to be said that Vernon and Josie are by far…

Brand-new News UK channel TalkTV launched on Monday – featuring ‘proper’ hourly news bulletins, sports and entertainment shows, as well as current affairs, debate and documentaries. And who better to lead the charge, with the primetime 8pm slot than the man who leaves you in no doubt of his opinions, Piers Morgan (kicking off with that explosive interview with Trump!), and the former BGT judge, Sharon Osbourne, with her own show, The Talk. Here, the famous pals – who at the channel’s recent online launch revealed how loyal they remain to one another (Mrs O ended up leaving US show The Talk in 2021, after defending Piers’ comments on Good Morning Britain about not believing Meghan Markle) – tell us it’s time they speak their mind, and also get the country…

JOIN THE CONVERSATION Is the size right? Staggeringly, more than 80 per cent of British women are wearing the wrong bra size, according to information shared by sustainable underwear brand, Nudea. The main reason is not getting fitted often enough, with over 75 per cent last being fitted over three years ago. The design-led brand also claims the average woman wears four different bra sizes over her life – with weight loss/gain, pregnancy and menopause all contributing to changing sizes. Expert bra fitters will tell you, you don’t just have one size, you have up to three when it comes to finding a perfect fit. Nudea recommends getting fitted every six months. We want to know how often you get fitted and have you been wearing the right size? WHAT DO…

In a powerful new documentary, Julia Bradbury, best known for Countryfile, charts her battle with breast cancer – from diagnosis, through her single mastectomy and the removal of lymph glands, to how the disease has affected her and ‘far too many’ other women. Central to her story is Julia’s family (hubby Gerrald and three children, Zeph, 10, and twins Zena and Xanthe, seven), her parents – both cancer survivors – and her older sister, Gina. But the 51-year-old’s story also represents the one-in-seven of us who will get breast cancer at some point in our lives… Hi Julia, this documentary is different to previous ones… I wasn’t expecting to make a programme about myself like this: My cancer diagnosis was a shock. I started keeping a video diary, because I’ve always…

Reading the email, my heart rate quickened. Jane* enjoyed holidays in Italy and was looking for a kind man who was a dog lover. ‘Bingo!’ I cried. I knew just the chap! Moments like this made my decision to swap careers and become a matchmaker at the age of 40 worthwhile. After school, I’d studied psychology at university, inspired by my love of Agatha Christie novels and interest in true crime. I was fascinated by the dark impulses that motivated people. How could one human hurt another? Or even murder someone? In my final year at university, one of my tutors was also a probation officer. He talked about helping ex-prisoners change their behaviours to lead law-abiding lives and I was fascinated. So, after graduating, I enrolled on a two-year…

Losing weight is easier with a little help from your friends, according to research – a 2019 study of two million dieters showed that the most successful shared their fitness journey with a buddy, spurring each other on to successes.

The show follows the fortunes of the childhood friends from Georgia, USA, as they support each other in their weight-loss struggles with help and advice. ‘Thank goodness for my girls – they are my cheerleaders,’ Meghan, 43, says. Ashley, now 36, had a gastric sleeve fitted seven years ago but the weight has crept back on and she’s now at her heaviest ever –…
