‘I was always taught to regard our family with importance’ Looking over the family tree of Maddison May Modupe-Ojo is like a fascinating journey into the royal history books. The great-granddaughter of the Duke of Edinburgh’s uncle, Lord Mountbatten of Burma, and the niece of India Hicks, her life is rich in heritage and wonderful stories, many told to her by her beloved grandmother, Lady Pamela Hicks. “I was always taught to regard our family with importance,” says 26-year-old Maddison, who is delighted to introduce the newest addition, two-month-old Moses, a baby brother for her daughters Daphne, four, and two-year-old Phebe, her children with her musician husband Ola. ‘My connection with my children is one of the most important things in my life.

THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL SUPPORTS CHA-CHA-CHARITY AUCTION With a son, Tom, and a daughter, Laura, the Duchess of Cornwall (left) knows how special it is to be a mum – it’s a title she held long before being granted her royal ones. Which is why, this Mother’s Day, she is not only helping to treat other mothers, but in doing so is also paying tribute to her own, by supporting the latest fundraiser for the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS). Camilla became involved with the society after losing her mum Rosalind to the disease in 1994, something she said left her “completely devastated”. She has been its president since 2001, and has donated one of the lots in the charity’s Mother’s Day Auction & Raffle: a tour of her London home,…

LADY GAGA Pop star’s dog walker shot A dog walker employed by Lady Gaga was shot in the chest by attackers who then stole two of the singer’s three French bulldogs.

It’s certainly put everything into perspective for me and made me realise what’s important in life: family and friends, hugs, health, having a garden, going on holiday. I’ve learnt my family and friends mean the world to me. I miss them like crazy! I’d give anything just to be able to see them face to face and hug them. It’s so strange not having been able to be in the same place as them for months now. It’s made me so grateful for what I have; a very special daughter, who makes me laugh every day, a husband who keeps me sane (he works in the drinks industry – the white wine helps!). I’m so thankful we have our health, we have a garden, and we live in a lovely…

THE BEACHY BEAUTY JOALI, THE MALDIVES THE STAY: On a private island with silken sands and stippled with chartreuse-leaved papaya palms, Joali is an out-and-out paean to castaway paradise, with an unhurried mood and a breeze that picks up the salty tang of the Indian Ocean. A gently curving wooden walkway snakes through the warm shallows, connecting thatched villas that hover above the reef on stilts. Inside, canopied beds boast crisp white linens, you’ll find exquisite heron-print kimonos in the wardrobe, just right for swanning around, and doors open out to ravishing sundecks with steps descending into the ocean, where you’ll encounter eagle rays and reef sharks. Days draw to a close at Saoke, on its lantern-lit terrace at the end of a jetty, sipping salt-rimmed margaritas as the Maldivian…

Tiger Woods was recovering last week after a serious car accident, which police say he was lucky to survive. The 45-year-old golf champion will face no charges over the crash, which occurred in Los Angeles just after 7am on Tuesday when he left the Terranea Resort for the nearby Rolling Hills Country Club to take part in a shoot for a golf magazine. “A reckless-driving charge has a lot of elements in it; this is purely an accident,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said, adding that the golfer couldn’t remember the accident. “At the hospital he was asked about it by the investigators and he had no recollection of the crash itself.” It is thought that Tiger lost control of his car at an accident black spot, with the…

After almost five decades in the spotlight, it seems the TV and film star and former pop singer is happier than ever in both her personal and professional lives as she celebrates turning 53 this week. “I was up for a movie recently and I was told I looked too young for the part I was going for!

When I wanted to start work again, I was blessed that I got work’…
