Gorgeous photos of Prince Alexander (above), the Swedish royal family’s newest member, show he has inherited the good looks of his parents Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia (left, with their son). The images have been released ahead of the four-month-old’s baptism on 9 September at Drottningholm Palace Church. Prince Alexander will be dressed in the christening gown worn first by Prince Gustaf Adolf in 1906, then by generations of royal babies, including Carl Philip and Alexander’s aunts Princess Madeleine and Crown Princess Victoria. The names of those christened are embroidered into the gown’s cape. Alexander, who is fifth in line to the throne, will be baptised using water from a spring on the island of Öland – a long-standing tradition. He is the first child for the couple, who…

Singer and talent show coach Paloma Faith has announced that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Leyman Lahcine (together, left). The Trouble with My Baby singer revealed the news on her website, telling fans: “I am going to take a short while off to have a baby. . . This means I won’t be involved in The Voice this year or releasing my album this year either.” Paloma (right), 35, got together with the French artist three years ago and has previously spoken of her desire to start a family. “I’ve wanted a baby since I was 27,” she said. Describing herself as “beyond happy” in a letter to fans, the mum-to-be shared plans to step out of the spotlight during her pregnancy. “I just need to be…

Fashionable venue? Check. Gorgeous guests? Check. Lady Amelia Windsor checked all the boxes when she celebrated her 21st birthday at Thomas’s, the cafe within design house Burberry’s flagship store in central London. Dressed in a cream dress and clutch (left) by the label, the granddaughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent posed confidently for photos. The Edinburgh University modern-languages student, who calls the Prince of Wales “the best great-uncle ever”, is getting used to being in front of the camera. In April Amelia made the cover of Tatler, which called her “the most beautiful member of the royal family”. On this occasion, however, she was happy to share the spotlight. She was joined at her special birthday celebration by (right, from left) her sister Lady Marina, 23, and pals…

The Duke of Cambridge used a visit to Dusseldorf to reassure German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Brexit will not affect the “genuine friendship” between the UK and Germany. “What began 70 years ago as a relationship of necessity between an occupying power and a region in ruin, is today a partnership of genuine friendship and of massive mutual benefit,” Prince William said at a gala celebrating the 70th anniversary of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which was created by the British military government after the Second World War. “This partnership will continue despite Britain’s recent decision to leave the European Union. “The depth of our friendship will not change. We will continue together to lead efforts to promote prosperity, security and stability in the world.” The Prince also met…

Looking “Schermazing” as she hit the red carpet in an electric blue dress and silver skyscraper heels, Nicole Scherzinger marked her triumphant return to The X Factor by announcing she wants to be the winning judge on this year’s series. Speaking at the launch party at London’s swanky Ham Yard Hotel last week, the former Pussycat Doll, who mentored winner James Arthur in the 2012 series, said: “I’m very competitive. I like to win. Hard.” The 38-year-old, who joins Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh in the revamped judging line-up, added: “I’m picky and I really care. Otherwise why do it? If you don’t put everything into it and everything isn’t as great as it can be, why do it?” Host Dermot O’Leary, back on frontman duties having replaced…

‘Each person has their own reason for being worthy of being loved’ Blake Lively If there’s anyone who can bring the effortless glamour of 1930s New York and Hollywood to the big screen, it’s Blake Lively. With her movie star good looks, real-life fairytale romance – she’s married to actor Ryan Reynolds – and always-chic red-carpet appearances, the award-winning actress is perfectly cast in Café Society, a new bittersweet romance movie that brings the razzmatazz of the Great Gatsby era to life. The film – written and directed by Woody Allen and the opener for this year’s Cannes Film Festival – is a sweeping love story set in the Golden Age of Hollywood and New York, where the so-called café society – a name given to the aristocrats,…

‘I know how you feel. I still miss my mother every day’ The Duke of Cambridge Looking refreshed following a family holiday in the South of France, the Duchess of Cambridge last week happily spilled the beans on Prince George’s messy escapades in the kitchen. Back on official duties in Luton after a month-long break, she talked about the three-year-old’s slapdash baking skills. “It’s chaos,” she told youngsters at Youthscape, a charity that specialises in young people’s social, emotional and spiritual development. The Duchess and her husband the Duke were visiting the centre’s new kitchen to watch teenagers making chocolate crispy cakes. “This smells seriously good,” said Kate. “When I try to do this with George at home, chocolate and golden syrup go everywhere. He makes so much mess.”…

‘When you’re away from your child, you really want to make it worthwhile. I gave it absolutely everything’ There aren’t many athletes who have given birth between competing in consecutive Olympics, which makes the achievements of Jessica Ennis-Hill all the more remarkable. Having won gold in the heptathlon at London 2012, she went on to claim a hard-fought silver in Rio. “I felt a mixture of emotions,” she tells HELLO! . “Definitely relief. I was also really taken aback thinking about the journey that I’ve been on. When you’re away from your child, you really want to make it worthwhile.” Coping with sleepless nights, adjusting to a changed body after childbirth and following a tough training regime haven’t been easy. “But if you have the right people around you…

Alessandra Ambrosio opted for all-over neutral colours as she shopped in balmy West Hollywood last week. Keeping things pared back, the Brazilian model dressed down her scalloped miniskirt with a plain white T-shirt and aviator sunglasses. A pair of suede block-heel sandals and an eye-catching Gucci bag lent an air of panache to her outfit, while a cute canvas shopper added extra practicality points.

With a market currently worth more than £400million a year in the UK and sales growing annually, our appetite for vitamin and mineral supplements shows no sign of waning. With the waiting time to see a GP seemingly getting longer and longer, it is perhaps little wonder that we seize on the claims of these nutritional helpers, which appear to offer a handy cure for everything from failing eyesight and aching bones to wrinkled skin and a poor immune system. The supplement business is divided into three groups: vitamins; minerals such as zinc, copper, selenium and iron; and dietary supplements such as fish oils, herbs and spices and glucosamine. They are all controlled under the Food Safety Act 1990, which means that they simply have to be fit for human…

She celebrated her 60th birthday last week but if anyone proves that age is just a number it’s former Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall. The actress, who won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of man-eater Samantha Jones in the iconic series, is as busy as ever, including playing the lead role in Canadian TV drama series Sensitive Skin – an adaptation of the BBC show from the 2000s of the same name that starred Joanna Lumley – which looks at life after 50. “In Sex and the City, we took the 30s and the 40s. Then Samantha turns 50 in the film and it’s like, ‘What happens after 50? What happens when you aren’t the sexiest one on the block?’” she says. Here, the Liverpool-born star talks…

Revving up for their second wedding anniversary, power couple George and Amal Clooney looked in perfect harmony as they took a spin in Los Angeles on George’s beloved jet black Harley-Davidson. Both were dressed casually in matching blue outfits and Harley helmets, with Amal accessorising her ripped jeans and T-shirt combo with large sunnies and towering wedge Oxford shoes by Stella McCartney. The human rights lawyer held onto her Hollywood star husband’s shoulders as they cruised Mulholland Drive in the Californian sunshine. The famous pair were enjoying some downtime in LA after recently hosting George’s annual Darfur fundraiser near their home in Lake Como, Italy. Later in the day, they made a pit stop at exclusive restaurant Nobu in Malibu with their friends Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. George and…

‘It was a spectacular event full of family and close friends’ Dame Joan Collins ‘Tara has found her soulmate and I’m so happy that her two children also adore her new husband’ Dame Joan Beaming with pride, Dame Joan Collins played her favourite role to date – as mother of the bride – when her daughter Tara Newley married in a romantic Kabbalah ceremony. Tara, 52, who describes herself on Twitter as “‘poet, writer, activist, trouble maker”, tied the knot with writer and property manager Nicholas Arkle, 57, in front of family and friends at The Kabbalah Centre London, then celebrated with a lavish reception in the Somerset countryside. Tweeting afterwards, Golden Globe-winning Dame Joan wrote: “Congratulations to Tara & Nick on a beautiful Kabbalistic spiritual…

If there is one celebrity who has found the recipe for happy family life it is Jamie Oliver, who recently shared the latest ingredient: River Rocket – not some kind of exotic salad leaf but the name of his newborn son. The chef’s fifth child (inset right) was born on 8 August, but Jamie and his wife Jools had been keeping mum about his name, with only immediate family members in on the secret. However, posting a photo on Instagram on one of last week’s baking-hot summer days, Jamie explained that an introduction was “probably polite”. The image (right), in which the snoozing infant is seen surrounded by his mum and dad, big brother Buddy Bear, five, and seven-year-old sister Petal Blossom, was accompanied by a caption that read: “Wow…

She recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of girl power anthem Wannabe and now whenever Geri Horner wants to take a trip down memory lane, she has just the car in which to do it – all thanks to husband Christian (together, left). The Red Bull Formula 1 team boss treated his wife of just over a year to the ultimate thoughtful gift: the red 1965 MGB Roadster (above) she bought with her advance cheque for the Spice Girls’ debut album, Spice. Geri sold the car, which she has previously described as her “first wow-we-did-it purchase” – after leaving the band in 1998. That same year it was part of a Sotheby’s auction of rock’n’roll memorabilia, along with other lots including her Union flag dress – the car…

Birthday surprises don’t come much more precious than the one Arsenal and England footballer Theo Walcott received from his wife Melanie this year. Trained physiotherapist Melanie – the winger’s childhood sweetheart, whom he wed in a spectacular ceremony at a castle in Tuscany three years ago – chose 16 March, her husband’s 27th birthday, to break the news that she was expecting their second child. Now, with less than three months to go until they welcome the new addition into their happy home team, Theo joins Melanie, 26, and his Mini-Me firstborn Finley for HELLO!’s exclusive photoshoot as he relives the moment he found out he was going to be a dad again. “Arsenal were playing Barcelona away in the Champions League and I’d said to Mel, ‘You really don’t…

‘It’s pretty sad that that’s what impresses her. That just goes to show you how unimpressive I am at home. That I was like, “I’m going to cook you a meal,” and she was like, “Oh, my God”’ John Krasinski (left) on cooking for wife Emily Blunt ‘Days before I was due to play Pride [the band] said they weren’t doing it. So I sacked them and got a new band… Sometimes you have to stand up for what is correct’ The Bodyguard star Beverley Knight on dealing with intolerance early in her career ‘What I have never been afraid of is to be a little silly and you can engage people that way. My view is, first you get them to laugh, then you get them to listen’ First…

‘I loved every minute. I look back and think, “God, that was an experience of a lifetime”’ Former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan surprised friends and family by donning combat gear to play an army medic in the second series of gritty drama Our Girl. “They couldn’t get over the fact I was wearing an army uniform – the helmet was bigger than me,” says the 5ft 4in star. “The Her co-stars include Musketeers actor Luke Pasqualino, Royce Pierreson and Ben Aldridge, who appeared in the first series in 2014, which starred Lacey Turner. How did Michelle react to her male castmates? “I looked around and thought, ‘Oh, it’s all boys.’ There were no other females. But after a thing is, people will say, ‘She doesn’t look like a soldier…

‘Winning means you are willing to go longer, work harder and give more than anyone else’ Their journey from hockey sticks to high style is a story of blood, sweat and tears. And with a thrilling Olympic gold-medal win under their belts, Team GB’s women’s hockey team received a rapturous welcome when they touched down in London from Rio last week. Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch knows exactly what it took for her team to triumph. “Winning means you are willing to go longer, work harder and give more than anyone else,” she says. When the final against defending champions the Netherlands ended in a nail-biting penalty shootout, Maddie saved four goals as her teammates scored two to secure the nation’s 24th gold at the Games. The hockey women put their…

‘I’ve always been ambitious, but since Jett and Jax came along, I’ve had more fire inside me’ Soaking up the sun on a lounger in Ibiza, model and entrepreneur Caprice Bourret watches proudly as her sons Jax and Jett plunge into the pool. “Look, Mommy,” the near-three-year-old boys squeal in unison before doggy-paddling to the side, clambering out and scampering forward to jump straight back in again. “This is so exciting; it’s the first time they’ve ever done that,” Caprice tells HELLO! as we share this precious moment during our exclusive photoshoot at her luxurious holiday villa. “They’ve been taking swimming lessons for a year, but only now, on this vacation, are they confident enough to get into the pool by themselves. “They’re hyperactive little boys, charging here, there and…

It’s only a matter of days before the youngest of the Beckham brood goes back to school. So five-year-old Harper was making the most of family time with her big brothers Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – who was sporting a new bleach-blond haircut – and famous mum and dad Victoria and David as they hung out in their second home in Los Angeles. Making the most of the Californian sunshine on their summer holiday, the five-year-old was treated to lunch dates with Mummy, brunch with Daddy and practised her painting in the garden. On one trip she looked super cute in a floral short suit and pink trainers, sucking a green lollipop and giggling as she played games and high fived Brooklyn – who has revealed he may fly the…

It was more cakewalk than catwalk for model Alessandra Ambrosio when she treated her daughter Anja Louise (together, left) to lunch at The Ivy followed by a cake-decorating session at Duff’s Cakemix in West Hollywood to celebrate the little girl’s eighth birthday. They were joined by Anja’s brother, four-year-old Noah, while her dad, Alessandra’s fiancé Jamie Mazur, later dropped by to see their creations. Alessandra shared a photo of Anja blowing a kiss during their lunch, captioning it: “Growing too fast.” Another runway star to have passed on her looks and camera confidence is Cindy Crawford, who was seen heading to Soho House in LA with daughter Kaia Gerber (above). Kaia, who turns 15 on Saturday, is certainly following in her mum’s career footsteps. After recently scoring her first solo…

They may have been plagued by speculation of marital woes, but Beyoncé and Jay Z were perfectly matched when they attended the premiere of boxing biopic Hands of Stone in New York. Delivering a fashion KO, the singer opted for grey pinstripes from French fashion house Pallas, with her husband following suit. Keen to keep their entrance low key, they arrived at the School of Visual Arts Theatre via a side door (right), but later chatted and posed with the film’s stars Robert De Niro and Usher. The power (dressed) couple also posted behind-the-scenes pics from the premiere (above). But Beyoncé was less happy when an overzealous fan tried to snap selfies with her en route to her waiting car – causing Jay to step in. The musical pair are…

PRINCE HARRY Challenges Usain Bolt to a rematch Prince Harry has challenged Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt to a rematch of their 2012 race in a birthday message to the Olympic star. The Prince ran against the world’s fastest official tour of Jamaica – “beating” him by shooting off ahead of the starting signal with a grin. To mark the athlete’s 30th birthday last week, Harry posted a photo of the event on the Kensington Palace Twitter account, writing: “Congratulations @usainbolt – now you’re officially the greatest you might be ready for a re-run! Happy 30th – H.” Usain promptly tweeted back: “Let’s do it.” SIR RICHARD BRANSON Survives Virgin Island bike crash Sir Richard Branson thought he was going to die after a dramatic bicycle crash.

The Great British Bake Off, one of the nation’s favourite TV programmes, burst back onto our screens last week for its seventh series. A record 10.4 million viewers tuned in to watch the first episode as the latest batch of 12 contestants compete in the BBC’s cut above – and occasionally bloody – show, competing under the ever-watchful eye of judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood while presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc lighten the mood with their mix of double entendres and words of comfort when things get too heated in the kitchen. And by all accounts, a bit of banter is even more necessary this season, thanks to a lethal combination of jittery nerves and high expectations causing accidents. “The last time I felt this nervous was when…

ALEC IN THE DRIVING SEAT FOR FAMILY OUTING IN MANHATTAN Hollywood star Alec Baldwin enjoyed life in the family lane last week. The 58-year-old actor was pictured carrying 14-month-old son Rafael while pregnant wife Hilaria pushed the tot’s car-shaped stroller during an afternoon walkabout in Manhattan (left). Rafael was clearly in the mood for playtime, but doting dad Alec didn’t mind and happily took it on the chin (above).

Things are pretty rosy for Myleene Klass right now. “I love my life,” declares the vivacious 38-year-old when HELLO! meets her for a catchup over coffee at a swanky London hotel. And who can blame her? Photos taken at this month’s V Festival show her laughing, dancing and kissing her beau Simon Motson, clearly happy for the world to witness her new romance. She and Simon began dating earlier this year and Myleene said recently: “I’m in that gushy, butterflies bit. We get on really well, we laugh a lot and he’s a super-decent, exceptionally hot guy. I’m enjoying it, the feeling when you connect with someone like that. He’s a wonderful man.” Not only is she loved up with her dashing new beau, who works as a brand manager,…

While admitting to having gone under the knife can be a no-no for many celebrities, it is acceptable to own up to having a laser ‘facial’ done HOW LASERS WORK “A laser is really a source of energy,” says Debbie Thomas. “It can be programmed to target a specific cell or layer of cells in the skin.” Lasers can accurately zap blood vessels, melanin pigment in skin or hair follicles, as well as collagen-producing fibroblasts. The energy heats up and destroys the cells, either stopping the hair from growing or erasing pigmentation problems or broken veins. Or, in the case of collagen and elastin, the damage tells the skin to speed up the production of new cells, tightening and firming the skin. “The key to getting the results you want…
