It’s a bright, beautiful spring day in the Wicklow Mountains and Ronan Keating is gazing out at the stunning view. While he’s thrilled to be back home in Ireland after spending the past few months in London, there’s another reason why the singer and his partner Storm Uechtritz are in such a happy mood. After three years together, they’re getting married. “I proposed twice and she said yes both times, thank God,” says Ronan as Storm shows us her exquisite one-of-a-kind engagement ring – a flawless oval diamond set in a diamond-encrusted titanium band. “We’ve been together a few years now and knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. I felt it was the right time,” he adds as the couple pose for this exclusive announcement…

He came, he saw, he conquered – hearts. On the first day of his month-long attachment to the Australian Defence Force, Prince Harry won over crowds of well-wishers as he carried out his only scheduled public engagement, laying a wreath at Canberra’s Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier. Captain Wales – as he is known in the army – was on a visit to the Australian War Memorial in the capital, paying his respects to those who died at Gallipoli before reading the names of casualties from the conflict in Afghanistan, where he has served twice. He placed a poppy at the memorial’s Roll of Honour, the scarlet of the wall contrasting with his pristine white tropical dress uniform. From there, the soldier Prince reported for duty with the ADF…

Long before she wrote history, Queen Victoria had more modest literary ambitions. At the age of ten and ¾, the future monarch (above left) penned a children’s story that will soon be published by the Royal Collection Trust. The Adventures of Alice Lascelles, written by Princess Alexandrina Victoria in 1830 as part of an English composition exercise, tells of 12-year-old Alice, a girl who is sent to boarding school following the death of her mother. Showing a lively imagination and a taste for the dramatic, the royal created many colourful characters, including a one-eyed French orphan. The tale was dedicated to her mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. “To my dear Mamma,” reads the inscription (above). “This my first attempt at composition is affectionately and dutifully inscribed by her affectionate daughter…

After reigning in the Wag world for many years now, fashion designer Coleen Rooney turned warrior queen when she joined forces with Nadine Coyle to head Cancer Research UK’s Pink Army. The women are backing the charity’s annual Race for Life fundraiser, but there was nothing uniform about their approach. Taking part in a special promotional photoshoot, Coleen (left) and Nadine (right) demonstrated the power of pink in costumes inspired by the hit TV series Game of Thrones . Sporting flowing blush dresses, fuchsia hair accessories and defiant stares, they looked more than ready to do battle with the disease. “Regardless of your age or how fit you are, everyone can take part or sponsor someone,” said mum of two Coleen. “The money raised is vital, so gather your girls,…

Putting fatherhood first, Tiger Woods turned the Masters Par 3 into a pa-of-two outing. The golfer was accompanied around the Augusta National Golf Club course by his daughter Sam, seven, and six-year-old son Charlie, as well as girlfriend Lindsey Vonn (all above, with Tiger). The annual contest sees the loved ones of professional golfers acting as their caddies and Tiger’s decision to compete followed pressure from his children after all three had watched the event last year, when an injury kept him out of the competition. “I said, ‘Maybe next year there’s an opportunity to do this if you want to,’ and they said, ‘We’ll see.’ It comes closer and all of a sudden, they start bringing it up,” he said. “Charlie plays a bit and Sam likes to keep…

It was very much a kase of Kardashian khaos last week, when the US’s first family of reality TV flew into Armenia. Sisters Kim and Khloé (left, with their cousins Kara, standing far left, and Kourtni), plus Kim’s husband Kanye West and their daughter North, are in the Eurasian country to trace their family’s roots and were greeted by scenes of hysteria when they jetted into the capital Yerevan. “Armenia we are here!!!!!” Kim – who’s gone back to her natural hair colour, swapping with Khloé, who is now the blonde – wrote on Instagram. “I can’t wait to explore our country and have some yummy food! My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors!” Kim and Khloé’s Armenian heritage…

DAVID BECKHAM To be godfather to Liv Tyler’s son David Beckham will be one of the godparents of Sailor, the five-month-old son of his best friend, sports agent Dave Gardner, and actress Liv Tyler. According to reports, Dave and Liv think the 39-year-old retired footballer and father of four will be a good influence on their boy. “Becks and Dave are close pals and go back years,” a source said. “They speak to each other all the time and their families are well connected. They were best men for each other’s weddings so are involved in their major events. Dave knows Becks will always be a great influence for his kids. He’s the perfect choice.” BARRY MANILOW Secretly wed longtime manager Copacabana crooner Barry Manilow secretly married his manager and…

There was a definite buzz of excitement around Dunblane in the days before local hero Andy Murray and Kim Sears tied the knot in the town’s majestic cathedral. Rose-patterned bunting hung from lampposts and shop signs, window displays featured pictures of the happy couple and a gold postbox – painted to mark tennis ace Andy’s win at the London 2012 Olympics – was given a fresh coat. Near the cathedral, a 6ft three-tier planter was decorated with heather, roses and trailing ivy so it resembled a wedding cake, while a message attached to it wished the couple good luck. As with many weddings, Kim and Andy held a rehearsal the day before their wedding, joined by members of the bridal party, including Andy’s mother Judy. Outside the cathedral, things were…

Actress Jennifer Lawrence had a definite spring in her step as she spent the Easter weekend with Coldplay’s Chris Martin in New York. The Hunger Games star (above) and the singer were seen enjoying a brunch at the city’s famed restaurant Tavern on the Green – their first public outing since the end of January. “They were talking softly to each other throughout the meal,” said an onlooker. “And they left holding hands.” The couple then took a stroll through Central Park, stopping at the Strawberry Fields memorial to John Lennon. The next day, they were spotted again (right), this time heading into Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, where they boarded a private plane.…

From Prada’s feline flicks to Fendi’s cornflower-blue leather strips; Nanette Lepore’s graphic white lines, to the acid-orange pop art at Peter Som – the spring/summer catwalks featured no shortage of bold inspiration for eyeliner fans. And if stick-on leather strips are not your thing, you can still experiment with colour and create your own designs with the help of ultra-fine artistry brushes, serums that transform your shadow into liner, angle- and wedge-ended pencils, and super-soft, smudgeable kohls.

1. Now the sun is starting to come out again, get out of the gym and hit the parks. Not only will the sunshine increase your vitamin D levels, but the fresh air will do you good as well. 2. You don’t have to exercise for hours to get results. If you’re short on time, try high intensity interval training (HIIT), which kickstarts your metabolism and keeps you burning fat for longer. Try 30 seconds of sprints followed by a minute of walking recovery. You’ll soon see how effective it is. 3. Take progress photos. The scales won’t ever make you happy, but by comparing photos you’ll be spurred on by how far you’ve come. DID YOU KNOW? Exercising on a regular basis can be tough on your body and…

Matilda Ramsay is proving to be a real chip off the old block. The 13-year-old daughter of celebrity chef Gordon is presenting her own TV cookery show from this week, rustling up tasty meals but without the colourful language of her famous father. “It’s me and my family and I’m at home doing the cooking,” says Tilly of Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch – a simple enough recipe for success if you’ve been lucky enough to hone your culinary skills on Gordon’s watch. “The best tip Daddy has given me is to just do what I like doing because it really shows when you have made food that you’ve enjoyed cooking. He always says, ‘Just have fun, enjoy, and mind your manners.’” The youngster has already made a guest appearance…

She’s the queen of US TV, her six-year reign as Modern Family’s ditzy Gloria seeing her income rise to an incredible $37million (£24.8million) last year. Now, Colombian-born beauty Sofía Vergara is setting her sights on conquering the big screen, too. The former model stars alongside Reese Witherspoon in the action comedy Hot Pursuit , playing the wife of a recently murdered drug boss. It’s her biggest film role to date and could turn her into a major movie star – but Sofía, 42, has another production on her mind: her wedding to actor Joe Manganiello. The Magic Mike star popped the question over Christmas, six months after they began seeing each other, and while nothing official has been announced, they have revealed that the date is set. Here, Sofía talks…

Family was very much the focus for Hollywood actress Halle Berry and her husband, actor Olivier Martinez, over the Easter weekend. The couple spent a relaxing few days on the beach in Malibu, California, with their son Maceo. After being given a helping hand by Paris-born Olivier in taking a few tentative steps, the 18-month-old was happy to play in the sand, watched over by his proud parents. At one point, the tot’s stylish mum, wearing a silk sarong-style patterned skirt and loose white top, scooped him up for a cuddle, which was happily reciprocated. SOLID AS A ROCK Halle and Olivier, who married in 2013, met in 2010 on the set of the adventure film Dark Tide . In addition to Maceo, the Oscar-winning actress has a daughter, Nahla,…

She’s just nine years old, but Princess Leonor of Spain was given a resounding “Sí !” for her fashionable attire when she stepped out with her family over the Easter holidays. The young royal looked incredibly chic(a) as she posed outside Mallorca’s Le Seu Cathedral (left). With parents King Felipe and Queen Letizia, grandmother Queen Sofia and her younger sister the Infanta Sofía by her side (above), Europe’s youngest heir to the throne was modelling a new tween wardrobe. Gone were the pink floral dresses of the past, replaced with a Chanel-style white cropped jacket, tiered blouse and skater skirt by Nanos teamed with a pair of Mary Jane pumps. With Letizia sporting a similar style of jacket over her monochrome outfit (right), onlookers didn’t have to go far to…

Persuading 35,000 strangers to come out of their shells is no easy task, but America’s First Lady Michelle Obama cracked it during the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House. As part of her Let’s Move! anti-childhood obesity campaign, the 51-year-old wife of the President was joined on stage by stars from US TV’s So You Think You Can Dance. They performed a routine to Uptown Funk (above) as the assembled thousands of children and their parents followed suit on the South Lawn. Dating back 137 years, the Easter event sees the US’s First Family host a fun day of activities, including traditional pursuits such as rolling eggs with wooden spoons. This year, the theme was Michelle’s #GimmeFive challenge, which is aimed at encouraging people to list five things…

Easter bonnets were on display as the royal family celebrated the holiday at the annual service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Leading the Easter parade, the Queen looked trim in a vibrant blue coat by Angela Kelly, while a line-up of stylish royals brought up the rear. Princess Beatrice – who is reportedly seeking a job with an investment company in New York but spent Easter with her father the Duke of York – dazzled in a fluttery blue fascinator teamed with a navy jacket.

American pop star Taylor Swift has revealed that her 57-year-old mother, Andrea Finlay, has been diagnosed with cancer. The Shake It Off singer, who has a very close relationship with her mum (together above), announced the news via social media. “I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer,” she told fans. “I’d like to keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know.” The diagnosis came about after Taylor requested that one of her Christmas presents be for her mother to have a health check – “just to ease some worries of mine”. She urged her fans to encourage their own parents to visit their doctor and get checked out for cancer and signed…

Now, at 53, she has finally landed the role she has always dreamt of – a regular part in Coronation Street . “I’ve never been so happy in my life because it has been a lifelong ambition,” says the Sunderland-born actress. “I grew up watching it and I’ve got to a point in my life where I’m happy to go into a long-running drama.

Diabetes is fast becoming a global epidemic. It affects one in 12 adults worldwide, amounting to 382 million people. What’s more, that number is predicted to grow to 592 million within the next 20 years. There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. With both of these, the body is unable to regulate blood sugar levels because of a failure to create and properly utilise insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas. Generally diagnosed in childhood, type 1 diabetes accounts for just four per cent of diabetes cases and develops when the insulin-producing cells in the body have been destroyed. Type 2 diabetes usually affects the over-40s and tends to be lifestyle driven, caused by poor eating habits, obesity and lack of exercise. It happens when we…

Following a number of failed relationships with high-profile musicians, Taylor Swift had been steering clear of boys. Until the Love Story singer met Scottish DJ and producer Calvin Harris. After weeks of rumours, Taylor and Calvin appeared to confirm their new relationship status when they emerged hand in hand from a gig in Los Angeles. It’s a big development for the couple, who had been keeping their outings – including a visit to Whole Foods health food shop in Taylor’s home town of Nashville and taking in a concert by US country singer Kenny Chesney – low key. But recent photos of the high-flying musical pair seem to suggest they are now comfortable being photographed together. Calvin, 31, wearing his trademark leather jacket, seemed relaxed in front of photographers outside…

It was arguably the most star-studded party so far this year, with Hollywood’s finest turning out to celebrate the 50th birthday of actor Robert Downey Jr. But instead of focusing on the birthday boy, all eyes were on his Iron Man co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, who used the occasion to make her public debut with her new boyfriend, Glee co-creator and executive producer Brad Falchuk. Although the Oscar-winning actress has been linked with Brad for eight months, until last week they had avoided being photographed as a couple. But that changed when they arrived together at the glamorous bash at The Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, entering the venue with Brad holding his girlfriend round the waist. Gwyneth, 42, reportedly met 44-year-old Brad while making guest appearances on the…

He’s had a love of cars all his life so when the Long Beach Formula E competition for electric cars held its inaugural event in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio raced to be there. The environmentalist wasn’t the only famous face all revved up by the event.

Despite reports of a split last summer, Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart presented a united front as they celebrated his 28th birthday in Mexico. Walking arm in arm – and with matching hats and sunnies – they sparked talk that his gift this year was reconciliation with the singer and actress. They were joined by J.Lo’s seven-year-old twins Emme and Max on the trip, which included a visit to La Bufadora natural marine geyser as well as the beach, where Casper donned a wetsuit for a jetski spin around the bay. Days later, they were spotted on a fun bike ride in Santa Monica. But despite appearances, Casper claims he and JLo are still ex-girlfriend and boyfriend. “We got a lot of ties. We’re very close,” he said at the…

Blake Lively has never felt more content. With a doting husband, new baby and her next film about to be released, life is good for the beautiful Hollywood actress. “This is the happiest time in my life and I could say that every day. I often feel like, ‘I can’t believe I’m experiencing this,’” she said recently. Blake, 27, and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, welcomed daughter James in December and are enjoying their first precious months of parenthood. For Blake, whose latest film The Age of Adaline is out next month, choosing roles will now be a very selective process. “It has to be a movie that is more creatively fulfilling than the other things in my life, especially now that I’ve got a baby,” she says. “It really…

Few things are more ageing than badly dyed hair. It can drain a face, block-cover greys and add years to a complexion. But in the right hands, colour can have the opposite effect, seeming to lighten and lift the face and bring a healthy glow to cheeks. According to Nicola Clarke, creative colour director at John Frieda, the difference between the two is simple: it’s all a question of mimicking the tones you once had. “It doesn’t matter about trends or what’s fashionable, the secret to anti-ageing your hair colour is to have lots of different tones,” says Nicola, who wields the tinting brush for Kate Moss, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paloma Faith, Carey Mulligan, Dakota Fanning and Queen Rania of Jordan. “One solid colour is very ageing.…
