From the London-based facialist and founder of clinic and skincare brand Skinesis, and a good friend of the Duchess, Sarah Chapman’s set helps keep Meghan’s skin looking its best. Meghan likes to use Chapman’s carefully planned ten-day ‘Radiance Recharge System’ ahead of a big event, according to her online Fashion Closet, as it works to restore her fresh-faced glow.

This pro-inspired ten-day radiance recharge system combines a carefully prescribed series of single-dose active skincare shots into four formulas for a comprehensive radiance-boosting programme.

The ten-day programme includes key skincare steps, including a lactic micro peel, a micro-exfoliator that gently resurfaces, smooths, and brightens, and a powerful brightening formula, Radiance C20, which delivers high doses of potent antioxidant vitamin C to boost skin clarity and luminosity.

The set also includes the glow complex C B3, a blend of vitamin C, niacinamide, AHAs, and anti-inflammatory extracts that further boost the radiance regime. The last day of the regime optimises a HA Hydrator NMF, a deeply hydrating, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic formula that visibly plumps and restores a radiant glow.

Working to revive dull and tired skin, Meghan’s beloved radiance-enhancing set also strives to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while resurfacing the skin and improving its clarity.

The punk genius Wilko Johnson has been seen in a new film shortly before his death talking about his pride over a new play about his life – Wilko: Love and Death and Rock ‘n’ Roll – heading to the West End

DR Feelgood legend Wilko Johnson is heading to the West End…posthumously.

The guitarist, one of the forefathers of punk, died aged 75 in 2022. He once joked he would love to have made opening night of a play about him that was in the works.

Sadly, that was not to be, but he would be thrilled Wilko: Love and Death and Rock ‘n’ Roll is heading to the Leicester Square Theatre. He once told the play’s writer Jonathan Maitland: “I dunno if I will make opening night? I might be brown bread but there is nothing I can do about that – but otherwise I would be there applauding like mad. I just hope you enjoy the show.”

The play has had two well received runs already at the Queen’s Theatre in Hornchurch, East London, last year, and South London’s Southwark Playhouse this spring. It went down a storm with audiences and was snapped up for the West End by theatre bosses.

Producers say the play, which stars Johnson Willis as Wilko, “explores the extraordinary events when [he] was told he had one year to live in 2012” after being diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer.

It adds: “Refusing all treatment, he decided to spend his last months living meaningfully. Seeing the people, places and things which meant most to him during his life until a miracle happened.”

That miracle came when, against the odds, tests showed the cancer was not as aggressive first thought.

He had the tumour removed and was declared cancer-free. By then he had already gone on a farewell tour and bagged a role as the executioner in Game of Thrones.

Wilko, born John Wilkinson in Canvey Island, Essex, formed pub rock band Dr Feelgood with singer Lee Brilleaux in 1971. Early singles included She Does It Right, Back in the Night and Roxette. Their 1976 live album Stupidity topped the charts.

But in 1977 Johnson left the band after a bustup.

In 1980 he joined Ian Dury’s band The Blockheads and had a lengthy career touring with the Wilko Johnson Band. His wife Irene died of cancer in 2004. They had two sons. ?

Former Love Island star Samie Elishi has finally opened up about her budding romance with I’m A Celeb winner Sam Thompson and claimed that it’s still ‘early days’

When former Love Island star Samie Elishi was pictured kissing Sam Thompson, the pair quickly hit the headlines. The couple were spotted in an intimate embrace outside the birthday party of Olivia Attwood last week, held at Mayfair’s Bacchanalia. Cupping her face in his hands, the pair appeared oblivious to onlookers as they publicly confirmed their romance.

Now, Samie has finally opened up about the new romance with the ex Made in Chelsea star. The 25-year-old was coy when discussing the potential of her new relationship with Sam, 32. Samie appeared on the podcast Chloe Mediumship and revealed that in past relationships, she always had a negative gut instinct.

She explained: “I’ve had gut feelings with guys before. I’ve had a couple of relationships where I’ve known it was never it. Like this is gonna come to an end, I’ll have something telling me every day it’s coming to an end, this isn’t for you.”

She added: “You put it to the back of your mind and then you start noticing the chaos increase. It’s like the universe saying I’m gonna blow you both up if you just do not separate.”

Samie continued: “Then I’m like if only I listened all those months ago when I got that first message.”

Chloe then asked if she had the same gut feeling. In response, Samie said: “There’s been no bad stuff at the minute so yeah I suppose it is all positive right now. It’s early days.”

The reality TV star first found fame in 2023 when she appeared on Love Island. She later returned to the All Stars series last year.

Since Sam split with his ex Zara McDermott, the pair started to build a connection via messaging on Instagram before finally meeting in person.

A source told MailOnline: “Sam and Samie are really getting along and if early signs are anything to go by, this could turn into a long-term relationship. It may be early days still, but they do really like each other.”

The added that Sam is already introducing Samie to Chelsea, having taken her to the King’s Road over the Easter weekend.

Sam and Zara ended their relationship four months ago. And within that time, Zara had started a relationship with former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.

Speaking on his podcast with co-host Pete Wicks, he revealed: “I feel like I’m ready to get out there. I feel like I’m at a stage now where I feel confident enough that I can start approaching females.”

He added: “I feel good, things are really really nice at the moment. And I feel like I’m happy. There’s no more brave faces’, causing Pete to proudly declare: ‘Sam’s ready to date!’.”

It has been more than a week since Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with the BBC and royal expert Jennie Bond believes he may now have a shock realisation over his claims

Prince Harry might realise he went “too far” when discussing his father, the King’s, health in a bombshell interview, according to an expert.

It’s been a week since the Duke of Sussex lost a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK and then gave an emotional interview, which would have left royal eyes rolling behind palace doors. In it, he claimed his father the King doesn’t speak to him, said he could not see a world where he would bring his children to visit the UK and declared he felt he had been “stitched up”.

In one part of the chat with the BBC, which is particularly said to have raised eyebrows, is when he touched on the health of his father, who is still being treated for cancer. He said: “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.”

But with emotions still seemingly running high amid Harry’s rift with his royal relatives, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes Harry may now realise the consequences of what he said.

She told the Mirror: “I suspect that Harry said more than he had perhaps intended because he was consumed with anger that the court decision had gone against him. When the court ruling didn’t go his way, he was, in his own words ‘gutted and devastated’. And he was clearly seething with fury. And that is rarely the best time to air your thoughts.

“I think he might now realise that he went too far in talking about his father’s health. That was a clear invasion of the privacy that Harry himself so covets. And he might also realise that he has, in my opinion, now lost the support of the vast majority of the British public.”

Harry has been pursuing a case through the UK courts after his level of security changed in 2020, when he and Meghan stepped down as working royals and moved to California to carve out a new life for themselves.

He failed in his appeal against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office, over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK.

And Jennie says she has a degree of sympathy for him as he’s left reeling following his court defeat. She added: “I do understand Harry‘s feeling that he has been singled out for special treatment. I get that it seems illogical that others, former Prime Ministers, for example, who have left public office, still get police protection.

“But, as the Palace has stated, the decision by the Ravec committee has been tested in court several times, and it has come up with the same conclusion on each occasion.

“Moreover, other members of his family – apart from the King, Queen and William and his family – do not get the level of protection that Harry appears to be demanding. And it’s not as if he has been told there will be no protection. It’s just that it will be assessed case by case.”

In the wake of the controversial interview, VE Day commemorations carried on in earnest for the rest of the Royal Family this week. To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the royals took part in a series of engagements, including a huge Buckingham Palace balcony appearance and a moving service at Westminster Abbey.

Jennie said: “Despite their disappointment – and anger – over Harry’s interview, the Royal Family did what they do best at the VE Day commemorations. They carried on regardless, with grace and dignity, rising above the furore over the rift.

“We saw a family which, without Harry, is very much in harmony, working together and with the three children beginning to learn the ropes of royal duties. Therein lies the continuity of monarchy, with or without the errant brother.”
