‘I’m more of a hoarder, George is more of a minimalist, so our home has elements of both of us’ When Lisa Snowdon bought her light, bright and airy house in Essex in 1997, it was a bolthole for her to escape to between jobs in London and abroad. Over two decades later and the four-bedroom Edwardian house near Epping Forest is a haven for the TV presenter and model and her fiancé George Smart – as well as a perfect blend of the two of them. “I’m more of a hoarder, he’s more of a minimalist, so it has elements of both of us,” Lisa, 49, tells HELLO! in our exclusive shoot and interview. “It’s full of little bits that I’ve collected over the years which I refuse to…

‘What a game, what a result! A huge team effort’The Duchess of Cambridge The Duke of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales led the nation in cheering on England’s football heroes last week. While Prince William, president of the FA, went to Wembley, Prince Charles invited the Band of the Coldstream Guards to play a rousing rendition of England anthem Three Lions – as well as Neil Diamond’s Sweet Carolin e – in the gardens of Clarence House. Days later, the band headed to Wembley to play at the final. While HELLO! went to press before the final against Italy on 11 July, there were scenes of jubilation at the semi-final.

Looking every inch the proud grandmother, the Queen was thrilled as she watched her youngest granddaughter Lady Louise Windsor take the reins of her late husband’s carriage at one of her favourite equestrian events, the Windsor Horse Show. And, dressed down in a lightweight green coat, dog-print headscarf and sunglasses, she was clearly delighted to see the 17-year-old continuing her late husband’s legacy. Louise, in a green tweed jacket and striking olive felt top hat with a feather trim, looked equally thrilled to be taking part in the event, held every year in the private grounds of Windsor Castle. She was all smiles as she drove the green horse-drawn carriage – which made a poignant appearance at Prince Philip’s funeral in April – into the arena. The teenager and her…

From a trip down memory lane to playing boules in a pub car park, there was fun in store for the couple Wine, music and wildflower meadows were on the agenda when the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall enjoyed a five-day tour of Wales last week. It began in Deeside, Flintshire, where Prince Charles, 72, paid a return visit to the headquarters of frozen food retailer Iceland, 34 years after he opened it, before donning a white coat to visit Wockhardt UK in Wrexham to see for himself the key work it is doing producing around 150,000 vials of the Covid-19 Oxford/ AstraZeneca vaccine every day. He discovered more about Wales’s religious heritage later that day at the medieval pilgrimage site St Winefride’s Well in Holywell, where…

THE FLYING-CAR DREAM IS FINALLY TAKING OFF It may look like a scene from Back to the Future , but this actually is the future. Last week, the world’s first ever flying car – which can also travel on roads – took to the skies, as seen in these astonishing photos. Gearing up to make history, Professor Stefan Klein – the test pilot who created the exotic sports car, with its propeller and fold-away wings – made his virgin voyage flying from Nitra to Bratislava in Slovakia – a 35-minute hop. The vehicle has a cruising speed of 105mph – and then, after landing, it takes just under three minutes to return to its slightly oversized but road-legal car-like state. In the hit 1980s films starring Michael J Fox, he…

‘Wimbledon is where great heroes emerge and that’s what we’re seeing with Emma right now’ Royals and A-list stars including Princess Beatrice, the Countess of Wessex and Mike and Zara Tindall headed to Wimbledon last week, but it was teenager Emma Raducanu who stole the headlines.

THE MIDAS TOUCH Massage therapy has long been used in Europe and Asia to improve physical and mental health, but in the UK it’s often holistic therapists who provide these complementary treatments. A report published by British Beauty Council this year argues that if the NHS offered touch therapy and massage, it could save the UK £10.5bn annually and reduce sick days by 1.76 million. Personal touch can have a huge impact on the mind and body. A simple massage creates oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine to reduce stress, promote feelings of happiness and help with pain relief, as well as lowering levels of cortisol – the stress hormone. Helena Grzesk, chief operating officer of the British Beauty Council and co-author of the report, says: “As a massage-trained therapist, I’ve always…

‘We can just look at each other and know what the other is thinking’ Eliza As twin sisters who share an incredibly close bond, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer have always done everything together. It seems only natural, then, that when it came to embarking on a whole new chapter of their lives, the beautiful nieces of Diana, Princess of Wales chose to do so with each other by their side.

‘This award recognises all NHS staff, past and present, across all disciplines and all four nations’The Queen It is the highest civilian honour she can bestow for “acts of the greatest heroism or of the most courage in circumstances of extreme danger”. So it was fitting that the Queen last week awarded the George Cross to the entire NHS after its 18-month battle with the Covid-19 pandemic. In a handwritten message on Windsor Castle headed paper, Her Majesty wrote: “It is with great pleasure, on behalf of a grateful nation, that I award the George Cross to the National Health Services of the United Kingdom. “This award recognises all NHS staff, past and present, across all disciplines and all four nations.

Tortola STAY Spilling out onto powder-soft shores at the western end of the island, Long Bay Resort (3) is one of Tortola’s loveliest addresses. The high-ceilinged suites – all chalky-white walls and heaps of rattan – lead out onto breathtaking terraces (2) , and the vibe is laid back. Here, you have a pared-back, barefoot hideaway, soundtracked by the ebb and flow of the surf; somewhere to really slow down and kick back. TASTE Frothy iced lattes and just-baked croissants are the order of the day at 1748 Coffee Shop, while just across the Sir Francis Drake Channel – a mere whoosh away by motorboat – easy-breezy Cooper Island Beach Club is a must for languid, toes-in-the-sand lunches of conch fritters, zesty tuna ceviche and Parmesan-confettied Caesar salad.
