The British Heart Foundation has long been an important cause for Penny Lancaster. But last year the connection took on extra significance when her father Graham suffered a heart attack that could have claimed his life. “About a year ago, my dad was at home and complained of what he thought was bad indigestion and took antacid tablets,” Penny, known formally as Lady Stewart, exclusively tells HELLO! . “He convinced his wife that he was okay and she popped out but the pains got worse and he had difficulty breathing. He called a neighbour who came over and called an ambulance. They did tests and concluded he needed to be admitted into hospital straight away. There it was confirmed that he’d had a heart attack. It was a big shock…

‘I’ve realised that bread is my nemesis.

The Duchess of Cambridge dazzled in her favourite tiara as three generations of the royal family gathered at Buckingham Palace for a glittering white-tie reception. Kate wore the Cambridge Lover’s Knot headpiece, a stunning coronet of diamonds and pearls – which was also a favourite of Diana, Princess of Wales – to the annual Diplomatic Corps reception, held in the palace’s state rooms every December for foreign ambassadors who are based in the UK. The Duchess, who was accompanied by her husband the Duke, joined the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to welcome 1,000 guests to the palace. The annual event is usually held behind closed doors, but this year the royal family gave a rare glimpse inside by releasing photos. The royal ladies all…

The Three Wise Men were on to something. Although you’re probably more familiar with the rejuvenating properties of essential oils such as lavender, frankincense can soothe your skin and, it’s claimed, focus your mind and lift your spirits. The so-called “king of oils” was prized by the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat wounds and respiratory illnesses. And now, centuries after its starring role in the first Christmas, there’s a growing buzz in beauty circles surrounding this ancient ingredient. “Frankincense is traditionally used during relaxation rituals and can help create a moment of mindfulness,” says Neal’s Yard Remedies product formulator Fran Johnson. “The relaxing aroma has an immediate effect and products that contain it help you age well and stress less.”…

At this time of year we can all embrace a bit of glamour in preparation for the party onslaught. The simplest way to do this and to update any outfit – or last year’s faithful black dress – is with a new pair of heels. As I started to research the hundreds of shoes this season has to offer, a story began to form: luxury velvets, bejewelled heels, sexy diamantés and powder-pink pompoms sent my mind back to Virginia’s, a magical shop in Clarendon Cross in London’s Notting Hill. You have to be as old as me to remember this shop, founded by Virginia Bates. It closed in 2013. Every year, I’d make the trip just to see Virginia’s Christmas window display – a beautiful creation of all the things…

ROAST TURKEY WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS “The key to this recipe is separating the turkey legs from the crown, so both stay succulent. You may find the skin of the legs a little pale, but all you need do is unwrap them and colour them in a hot frying pan. Order a good free-range bird and ask your butcher to prepare you a turkey crown by removing the wishbone and taking the legs and wings off. Ask them to bone the legs and remove the sinews, but keep all the bones for the gravy. At home, simply wrap the legs around the stuffing, tie with kitchen string and wrap each one in greaseproof paper and foil. A 5-6kg/11-13lb turkey should take no more than 1½ hours to roast using this…

Carrying a child in each arm, Amal Clooney gave the public their first glimpse of her adorable 18-month-old twins, Ella and Alexander, in typically glamorous style. Amal demonstrated how beautifully she juggles a busy professional life with motherhood as she stepped out onto a New York street with her and husband George’s offspring. Wearing a casual combination of leather trousers, high-heeled lace-up boots and leopard-print sleeveless coat, Amal looked relaxed as she carried Ella and Alexander out of their hotel. As the twins left their temporary home in Manhattan, Ella, wearing jeans and shoes, accessorised with a white knit shawl and bobble hat, looked a mini-me of her mother – a comparison made by George himself in the past. Alexander wore matching jeans, adidas trainers and a black hooded jacket…

ANGELINA JOLIE Reaches custody deal with Brad Pitt Two years after their split, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a final custody agreement over their six children, Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and ten-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. “A custody arrangement was agreed to weeks ago and has been signed by both parties and the judge,” said the actress’s lawyer, Samantha Bley DeJean. “The agreement, which is based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator, eliminates the need for a trial. The filing and details of the agreement are confidential to protect the best interests of the children.” Brad, 54, and Angelina, 43, first filed for divorce in September 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.

My mother lives there, but as I live in America and my sister lives in Singapore, Momma needs us to go…

Kensington Palace was transformed into a winter wonderland last week and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got into the festive swing by joining in an impromptu snowball fight, playing party games and decorating stockings. Wearing a seasonal red tartan skirt by Emilia Wickstead and a black cashmere Brora cardigan, Kate looked to be having the time of her life, giggling as she walked through a shower of artificial snow ahead of celebrating her own magical first Christmas with seven-month-old Prince Louis and his siblings Prince George, five, and three-year-old Princess Charlotte.

Few people will forget the moment Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean made ice-skating history with a perfect score in the 1984 Olympic Games. For the pair, however, reliving some of the other highs and lows in their lives for a forthcoming TV film has proved even more emotional. “There are memories we didn’t even know we had. So much has happened since that it was hard to remember everything. Looking back was very emotional. It’s only when you get older and reflect on what you did… They were amazing times,” Chris tells HELLO! as their life story becomes the focus of a new one-off ITV drama, Torvill & Dean, by acclaimed film and TV writer William Ivory.

SNOWBALLS (snebolde) “Across Scandinavia we spend time preparing a lot of little marzipan treats at Christmas. My kids love making these because they get to spray them with edible silver glitter.” Makes 20 Preparation time 35-40 minutes, plus chilling INGREDIENTS • 200g/7oz marzipan (63% almond content is the best for these, but you need a minimum of 50%) • 100g/4oz quality white chocolate • 100g/4oz desiccated coconut • Food-safe silver glitter (optional) 1.
