‘Children will shape the optics of the world and that’s why we want to keep the conversation alive’ It’s given a voice to more than a million children since it started in 2011. Now, 500 Words, the writing competition devised by DJ Chris Evans in 2011 and supported by the Duchess of Cornwall for five years, is being given a new lease of life thanks to Angellica Bell and Michael Underwood. For the first time, the young writers are being asked to write to a theme – expressing their views about the Black Lives Matter movement, to encourage important conversations. Entries for the competition, which is open to children between five and 13 of any ethnicity and background, close this Friday, and the two finalists will have their entries read…

‘Kristen can be very mysterious, very fragile and very strong as well, which is what we need’ She rocketed to fame in the Twilight film series, and now actress Kristen Stewart is poised to take on her crowning role – playing the Princess of Wales. Spencer will focus on three pivotal days in the life of the mother of Princes William and Harry, and will bring together the Bafta-winning actress, director Pablo Larraín and Oscar-nominated writer and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. Chilean filmmaker Pablo says it’s a match made in heaven, hailing Kristen as “one of the greatest actors around today”, adding “Kristen can be many things, and she can be very mysterious and very fragile and ultimately very strong as well, which is what we need.” Spencer –…

‘I got told: “Because you’re black, you’re going to have to work ten times harder than a white artist because of the colour of your skin”’ Singer Alexandra Burke (left) on her experiences of racism in the music world ‘He’ll never remember any of it, but I feel like somehow that might stick to his soul and his personality a little bit’ Rachel McAdams hopes taking her toddler son to Iceland will have an impact ‘I said: “Is everything okay?” The Queen said: “No, it isn’t. Princess Margaret is listening to The Archers and every time I say something she tells me to shush”’ Not even the Queen could disturb her sister’s Archers fix, says Lady Glenconner ‘I got bored and it was expensive’ Phillip Schofield reveals why he abandoned…

Alessandra Ambrosio stepped out for a spot of shopping with her eight-year-old son Noah in the Malibu sunshine, taking a call on her mobile while Noah bounded ahead. The 39-year-old Brazilian model showed off her famously long legs in a white shirt dress, cinched in at the waist with a Western-style belt. Stacked-up bangles, flat tan sandals and a grey Chanel bag all added to the ex-Victoria’s Secret Angel’s boho-inspired look.…

Naomie Harris gave a masterclass in how to wear a shimmery smokey eye with flawless skin and glossy lips at the Bafta Film Awards earlier this year. The 43-year-old Bond star has a strict daily routine, waking up before 6am to feel invigorated all day, and has a similarly disciplined approach to skincare. “So many of my friends go to sleep with their make-up on… and I’m like: Oh my gosh.’ It’s really bad. I have to have cleanser, I have to cleanse my face,” she has said.…

‘It was just a rollercoaster of emotion – ups and downs and twists and turns’ Nothing marks the arrival of the great British summertime quite like Wimbledon, when long, sunny days, strawberries and cream, jugs of Pimm’s and the thwack of tennis balls take over our lives for a fortnight. As the world’s best tennis players – as well as Hollywood stars, royalty and dedicated fans from across the globe – descend on SW19, it becomes the hottest ticket in town, with hundreds of people even camping out in the famous queue to try to secure tickets for the following day’s play. This year, the event has become another casualty of the coronavirus lockdown. Former British No. 1 Annabel Croft, now a regular commentator on BBC coverage of the tournament,…

‘The Duchess is amazing with the families, so compassionate‘ With a warm smile and armfuls of plants and flowers, the Duchess of Cambridge brought sunshine to a children’s hospice last week. Kate joined families at The Nook, near Norwich, to plant a new patio garden, looking at ease as she crouched down to fill pots with fragrant bay, rosemary and her favourite lavender. Not afraid to get her hands dirty as she potted up sunflowers, Kate told her fellow gardeners she had been doing the same with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in the garden at their home, Anmer Hall. And it seems her children have inherited some of their parents’ famous love of competition. “The children are really enjoying growing their sunflowers,” she remarked. “Louis’s is winning…

Elizabeth Hurley has paid tribute to her former boyfriend Steve Bing after the 55-year-old Hollywood film producer took his own life. Steve, the father of Elizabeth’s 18-year-old son Damian, died last week after falling from his 27th-floor apartment in LA. A coroner ruled his death as suicide. Writing on social media alongside photos of her and Steve together in happier times, the actress and businesswoman said: “I am saddened beyond belief that my ex Steve is no longer with us. It is a terrible end. Our time together was very happy and I’m posting these pictures because although we went through some tough times, it’s the good, wonderful memories of a sweet, kind man that matter… We last spoke on our son’s 18th birthday. This is devastating news.” Damian, who…

The Prince of Wales has spoken of the nation’s “debt of gratitude” to the Windrush generation. In a video message to mark Windrush Day, Prince Charles, 71, talked about the “invaluable contribution of black people in Britain” and paid tribute to NHS staff and key workers during the coronavirus crisis. “Today offers an opportunity to express the debt of gratitude we owe to that first Windrush generation for accepting the invitation to come to Britain and, above all, to recognise the immeasurable difference that they, their children and their grandchildren have made to so many aspects of our public life, to our culture and to every sector of our economy,” he said, speaking from his home office. Saying “our society is woven from diverse threads”, he added: “Recognising the rich…

SUMMER SLICK BACK Wet-look hair made a return to the spring/summer catwalks at the likes of Lanvin and Versace. It’s a perfect style to create following an intense workout or straight after you get out of the shower – wet-look hair really is “less is more”. Leigh Keates, creative director at John Frieda, tells us how to get the most flattering finish… ◆ For a more fixed look, apply mousse through dry or damp hair. Don’t do it with soaking-wet hair as that can end up drying frizzy. ◆ Use a wide-tooth comb to brush the hair away from the face, going in with your fingers afterwards to loosen the tooth marks for a more effortless feel. ◆ The mousse should hold the style but you can also set the…

‘Take away the pressure of perfection and allow yourself days where you have a treat’ Over the last few months, I’ve learnt that we all struggle with self-compassion on a greater scale than I thought. While we have no problem in being kind to others, we need a pep talk to understand it’s okay to be gentle with ourselves. For some of my clients, self-compassion is a new concept. There is an expectation to cope, to crack on and use our busy-ness as a sense of pride. I put the most ridiculous pressure on myself and yet I am the first to forgive if someone is having an off day or needs an afternoon to put themselves first. So, what act of self-care can you slip into your day to…

Lauren had never been the jealous type – she’d never had reason. But when a new neighbour moved in next door, even she did a double-take. The newcomer was tall, slim, blonde and wearing full and immaculate make-up – on moving-in day. She also appeared to be single. It seemed Rob had noticed her, too. “I think I’ll pop round to say Hello’,” he announced that same afternoon when he got in from work and saw her in the garden. “Be a good neighbour, you know.” Lauren knew. “I was going to…” bake her a cake, she was about to say. Though with that figure, Lauren doubted that her chocolate sponge would be much of a hit. She could do with losing a bit of weight herself, but what with…

‘Harry and Meghan will engage in moderated discussions and keynote speeches’ After spending the past three months adapting to their new life in Los Angeles, it seems the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are ready to start work in earnest. The couple have signed with the New York-based Harry Walker Agency, which represents A-list stars including Serena Williams, Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and the naturalist Dame Jane Goodall – all of whom have connections to the couple. It’s a move that could potentially earn them millions. A source tells HELLO! that Prince Harry and Meghan will “engage in moderated discussions and keynote speeches with trade associations, corporations and community forums”, focusing on topics “related to the foundation and mission of Archewell”, their new charitable body. These…

‘I found lockdown tough at the beginning… I just could not get myself motivated and everyone was feeling scared’ ‘When I train I feel amazing… Mentally I’m now in the best place I’ve ever been in my life’ Spending time at home with his beautiful wife Michelle Keegan, Mark Wright could quite rightly be considered to be living the dream. However, the radio and TV presenter reveals that when lockdown hit he went through a really negative time. “I found it tough at the beginning, massively,” he says as he invites HELLO! to the home he shares with the Brassic and Our Girl actress in Chigwell, Essex. “I’m not someone who is ever going to claim to have any mental health issues; however, all of us get moments when we…

THE QUEEN Pays tribute to armed services The Queen has issued a heartfelt message to mark Armed Forces Day, recognising “the dedication and risks faced by those serving our nation” at home and overseas. Speaking on behalf of “the Duke of Edinburgh and I”, the monarch, 94, added: “We also have cause to thank veterans, who continue to contribute to our way of life long after they leave the armed forces. “Having had members of my family serve in each of the armed services, I know only too well of the pride service personnel take in their duty. “As your Commander-in-Chief, I send my warmest best wishes to you all, your families and the entire armed forces community.” REBEKAH VARDY Sues Coleen Rooney for defamation Rebekah Vardy has filed a…

Can we discuss how beautiful Lisa Bonet looks in this Fendi dress (right)? I’ve had lots of time over the past few weeks to look back over the actress’s amazing fashion journey and there have been some pretty iconic moments: the top hats, the glasses, the vintage finds so effortlessly put together. Lisa’s style transcends any fashion trend and I guess that’s how it’s stood the test of time – it’s authentic to her. I really love her red-carpet appearances: she cleverly opts for heavyweight designers and pieces that reflect her natural aesthetic with a little more polish. But what I love most is the hair and make-up – always so cool, so refreshing. I’ve been inspired by this look to share a few select pieces with you, especially as…

Aloe Blacc, the platinum-selling singer, songwriter and producer best known in the UK for his hit I Need a Dollar, has unleashed his inner romantic. The 41-year-old recording artist, who has enjoyed worldwide success with his blend of soul, folk, R&B and pop, including the global hit Wake Me Up, co-written with Swedish DJ Avicii, says that his music is usually about “affirmation, inspiration and motivation”. But the Panamanian-American singer’s latest album, All Love Everything, is very much inspired by his loved ones: his Mexican-Australian singer wife, Maya Jupiter, and their two children, Mandela, six, and four-year-old Satya. “It’s new for me,” Aloe tells HELLO! from his Los Angeles home. “I haven’t spent a lot of my career focusing on personal relationships and stories, but I feel more comfortable now.…
