Meghan Markle’s ‘demanding’ phone call with Anna Wintour that sparked ‘fury’

As part of Paris Fashion Week, the Duchess of Sussex and Vogue legend Anna Wintour exchanged sweet words. However, sources claim that the duo’s relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

Meghan Markle has been spotted sharing a warm embrace with legendary Vogue chief Anna Wintour at Paris Fashion Week, but their relationship hasn’t always been plain sailng according to insiders.

The duchess is currently on a surprise visit to the French capital – her first trip to Europe in three years – for her debut at the glitzy fashion event.

She appears to be flying solo, as Prince Harry was nowhere to be seen when Meghan stepped out in a chic all-white ensemble at Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear presentation on Saturday night.

The duchess was asked how she was in a video posted on X, and Wintour responded, “Nice to see you. “

Before Wintour glanced at the Meghan’s outfit and yelled, “Beautiful, Cherie,” the pair kissed each other on the cheek. You appear fantastic. “

Following alleged drama behind the scenes at Vogue over Meghan’s “demands,” the sweet exchange appears to have ended a long-held conflict between the pair.

The Duchess served as guest editor for a 2019 issue of British Vogue, which sold out in just ten days, making it the magazine’s top-selling issue ever.

Meghan reportedly spent seven months working with Edward Enninful, the former editor-in-chief of Vogue, to produce an issue honoring inspiring, pioneering women for the Forces for Change issue.

Meghan’s “demands” to the Vogue editorial team allegedly caused a rift between the Duchess and Enninful, with claims that Meghan even approached Wintour about them after being told by Enniful that they simply couldn’t be met at the time.

Meghan had been offered “extensive features across the magazine and its digital editions”, which would have included coverage of her speech at the One World Summit in Manchester.

However, Page Six claims Meghan sent Enninful a list of six requirements in order to complete the planned articles. Meghan requested a “global issue,” according to a source who spoke to the outlet. “He requested control over [the] photographer, writer, final edit, photos, cover lines, and. Nobody understands that. Not even Beyonce. “

Although Meghan is alleged to have requested to appear on the US and UK covers of the September issues, Vogue editors on both sides of the pond had already secured cover stars, making it impossible to grant her request.

Linda Evangelista was scheduled to appear on the UK edition of the magazine while Meghan’s close friend Serena Williams was scheduled to grace the US cover.

The Duchess is said to have bypassed him completely by approaching formidable Wintour, the inspiration behind the legendary film The Devil Wears Prada, in a bid to secure dual covers across both the US and UK, despite Enninful reportedly telling Meghan that her six demands couldn’t be accommodated.

A source told Page Six that “Anna wasn’t interested.” Anna responded politely by asking for a Zoom with Meghan to look over her request. “

Although there are conflicting reports as to the extent of the rift, Enninful’s refusal to grant the Duchess’ requests is said to have caused it to cause the pair to disagree.

After Enninful or Wintour failed to fulfill her demands, Meghan is said to have pulled the plug on the feature’s entire production, leaving Enninful as “furious.”

According to a source quoted by The Daily Mail, “The duchess and her team had high expectations, and they were hoping she might get a print or at least a digital cover out of it,” Enninful was unable to fulfill those expectations.

He already had the magazine cover that month in his bag. Both Edward and the Condé Nast power brokers were furious that they had lost the project. “

The process “came across very challenging,” the source continued. Although Edward was only able to promise her a significant, outrageous feature in both online and in the magazine, she turned it down. “

Additionally, they claimed that the incident had sparked a significant rift between the Duchess and her former friend because they were no longer able to talk to each other.

Despite the conflict over how much coverage of Meghan might be back in 2022, sources who spoke to Page Six dispute this, saying that the pair still have a “warm and respectful” relationship. They are even said to still exchange birthday messages and occasionally exchange flowers.

Meghan hasn’t been featured on the cover of the infamous fashion magazine, but her sister-in-law, Princess Kate, has already taken a spot. The future Queen was given a chance to appear in the ominous issue that celebrated 100 years of the magazine, and the cover featured a multi-page glossy spread that highlighted Kate’s devotion to the countryside.

Most recently it has been rumoured that Kate was offered a “global cover” at the iconic magazine, which would see her appear on both the US and UK covers, with offers of some extensive control editorially, including being able to “choose her own photographer, be in charge of fashion choices and decide whether or not to grant an interview,” the Mail reports.

Kate Winslet fans baffled by unearthed snaps as she celebrates milestone birthday

Given that Kate Winslet is celebrating a significant birthday today (5 October), viewers are left perplexed by the actress’ real age. Now, it made people remember her decades-long acting career.

As award-winning actress Kate Winslet is celebrating her 50th birthday today (October 5), fans couldn’t help but spot one detail as they looked back on her decades-long career in the spotlight.

Born in Reading in 1975, actress Kate Winslet has been in the public eye for decades, having started her acting career in the early 1990, when she starred in TV shows like Dark Season, Get Back, and Casualty, before making her big break in Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures in 1994. A few years later, she starred in what would become her career-changing role of Rose DeWitt Bukater in 1996 epic romance movie Titanic, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

More recently, fans will recognise the British actress from 2022 blockbuster Avatar: Way of Water, and romantic drama The Reader, which won her her first Academy Award in 2009 for Best Actress, after having been nominated seven times in her career.

People have been left confused as to what age Kate really is, despite the fact that many claim she “does not age,” despite the actress having had a career spanning over 30 years.

Because the actress turns 50 today, making her birthday on October 5 seem impossible to believe.

In order to look back on her career and how she may have change throughout it, a video was posted onto TikTok showing two seconds long clips of Kate from different interviews and acting roles throughout her long career.

The video went on to show clips of the actress throughout her long career, starting in 1994, when she was just 19 years old, until 2023 where she was seen accepting a British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for Leading Actress from her performance in Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth.

Fans were quick to recognise some of other moments in the video, such as clips from her most famous roles, like the 1997 movie Titanic, and the 2026 Christmas rom-com The Holiday – as well as accepting several acting awards, including Emmys, BAFTAs and Golden Globes.

Many people quickly praised the actress after she didn’t seem to seem to be ages throughout the clips, including the video’s creator, who wrote, “How did she manage not to age?.”

Soon after, one viewer expressed her disapproval in the comments section, “She’s gonna have to stop that skincare routine, her skin looks fantastic.”

Another viewer called Kate “so beautiful,” and a third user wrote, “SHE’S PERFECT AAGGHHHH.”

Made In Chelsea’s Joshua Patterson ‘hit rock bottom’ after godson’s tragic death

The Made in Chelsea star explained why he’s trying to get money for a million therapy sessions and what his daughter wants from her.

When Joshua Patterson’s godson tragically died at just three months old, he “hit rock bottom”. The Made in Chelsea star has opened up about that difficult time in his life and why breaking a world record helped him – and hopefully many others – get back on track.

Last year, Joshua’s friends, Emily and George, had a baby boy called Archie. Three months later, Archie had died from SIDS – sudden infant death syndrome. “I hit rock bottom,” he told the Mirror. “I was at one of the lowest points I’ve been, I think, in life.”

Joshua and Emily, George, and the many other families who regret losing children to SIDS, had a very difficult time losing Archie when he was so young. Archie leaving at the right age is unforgivable, he said. He had a lot of life to lead. And it’s attempting to process that, in my opinion.

You must approach death in your own unique way, Joshua said. And how did he handle the death of Archie? By breaking a world record, he raised money for charities.

Joshua ran a marathon at the highest altitude ever on September 16 to break the previous record. He did it because it was physically exhausting, but he still managed to raise money for Emily and George’s baby loss club.

Any families that have lost children will be based there, like a central hub. And the goal of this challenge was to raise £35,000 to pay for 1, 000 therapy sessions for families who lost children.

“It was a monumental challenge that required us to face an even greater challenge.” I wanted to make sure that whenever I think of my godson, I look up and smile at him. We’ve done it together, in my opinion, so that we can look back on these moments with pure joy and happiness.

Without this cause, Joseph added, he might not have been able to complete the run because it was so physically difficult to do so, but also just to understand what an inspiration Archie can become and what a profound impact I believe he can have on so many families in this country.

And this is just the beginning. The ultimate goal of the Baby Loss Club is to fund a million therapy sessions for parents who have lost their children. A thousand already sounded like a lot, but as Joshua pointed out, they can go in a flash. According to the NHS, around 200 babies die unexpectedly and unexplained each year. So, in a single year, a thousand sessions may only provide five opportunities for each set of parents to unpack their grief.

Joshua’s record-breaking accomplishment is a truly extraordinary testament to strength, resilience, and love, according to Pascale Harvie, president and general manager of JustGiving. In honor of Archie, to endure such extreme circumstances is a profoundly personal tribute as well as a powerful act of advocacy and awareness. The money he has raised will have a long-lasting impact on an issue that affects countless families. Joshua has inspired many and impacted SIDS by bringing important attention to SIDS by transforming grief into action. We extend our sincere congratulations to this remarkable achievement and to Archie’s legacy.

With just over £25.5k, Joshua’s fundraiser’s Just Giving page has raised 73% of its goal. When he was asked if he would ever go back to Made in Chelsea, even for an episode, to raise money over the goal line, he laughed and declined.

To be honest, it’s a completely different show altogether. And I believe the cast members are probably between 21 and 21 years old. I have an eight-year-old daughter and am 36 years old. So I feel like that much has happened in my life. I wish them all the best of luck. He continued, “I’m a celebrity SAS, and I’m not out of the running.”

Another motivation for Joshua to run the marathon is India, which he shares with Binky Felstead. He said, “I want her to know that life is difficult because it’s amazing, but it’s inevitable that you’re going to face adversity in life and don’t be overburdened by it.” I’ve seen firsthand how quickly life can be taken from someone or be changed, and how quickly it can change.

“I hope that I can leave that impression on her with the work that I’ve done,” she said. I already have no doubt about her progress and know that she will continue to achieve amazing things.

He continued to sneer at India’s commitment to performing and theater. Although it’s a little outside of Joshua’s athletic background, he wouldn’t want it any other way. Because I believe her character is developing in her own distinctive way, I don’t really push the things I love to. She enjoys dancing and music, and she is very theatrical. So I’m very interested to see what direction that will lead her.

Binky, India’s mother, is a fellow Made in Chelsea graduate. Although the two ended their relationship in 2018, they continue to co-parent peacefully. Joshua said, “Listen, your child is the most important thing in the world. It is more significant than anything else.

And so I’m happy as long as my daughter smiles and is content, right? Therefore, I believe that everyone is doing a fantastic job in that regard.

Estella Bartlett’s jewellery advent calendar just launched and I couldn’t wait to unbox it

The best collection of accessories under £200 can be found here. Estella Bartlett has finally released its 2025 jewelry advent calendar.

A jewelry advent calendar is one that I adore getting my hands on all year. Although the good ones and the chocolate-filled ones are great, you’ll eventually use up all the leftovers or have at least a few options that you don’t like or find suitable for your skin type.

On the other hand, an Estella Bartlett’s keepsake calendar is the one I absolutely love getting every year. It gives you a ton of keepsakes to hold onto and wear forever. I couldn’t resist getting a sneak peek inside Estella Bartlett’s 2025 Advent Calendar after it was officially released.

This cocktail advent calendar allows parties to keep the drinks flowing all the way through the party season.

The calendar costs a whopping £376, and it also includes more than £175 worth of accessories for free. One of my favorite aspects of Estella Bartlett’s calendar is the variety of pieces inside. You can choose whether you want a gold or silver calendar so you can purchase items that go with your preferred style, from necklaces and bracelets to earrings.

The Estella Bartlett Advent Calendar features everything from colorful beaded necklaces, hoop earrings, studs, pendants, and charm bracelets, plus a fantastic mix of styles. This year’s offerings range from chunky chains (my favorite), to colorful beaded necklaces (my favorite). Additionally, this year’s contents include an extra-special treat.

You also receive a £30 gift card that can be used to exchange anything on the Estella Barlett website in addition to the pre-chosen pieces of jewelry. You can use the voucher as soon as you open the calendar to buy something special for yourself or to buy something new for yourself because it isn’t even hidden behind one of the doors.

I’ve already collected a lot of Estella Bartlett jewelry, and I can tell you that each of their creations has a history of wear. They are well worth the price because they never tarnish, the clasps are strong, and they never snag or get damaged.

Unlike traditional advent calendars, there are only 12 doors to open rather than 24 or 25 in the Estella Bartlett Advent Calendar. You can decide whether to open one every other day, open them for the first 12 days, or wait until December 12 to start opening them so you can countdown to Christmas Eve instead.

You could pick up a second advent calendar with 12 doors to choose from, of course. The Joma Gold-Plated 12 Days of Sparkle Advent Calendar, which costs £179.99 but is more expensive, has the option to personalize some of the pieces inside.

For yourself, you can choose Scream Pretty’s Design Your Own Advent Calendar, which costs £225 and includes 12 pairs of earrings, studs, huggies, and cuffs. The Christmas Gold Jewellery Advent Calendar from New Look is a very affordable option, starting at just £24.99.

The Advent Calendar for Missoma’s Gold Jewellery is £495 and includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and ear cuffs for more expensive, luxurious options. The ASTLEY CLARKE 12-Day Limited Edition 18ct Yellow-Gold Vermeil And Sterling-Silver Advent Calendar costs £398, but it is worth a sizable £906 in terms of free items.

Kate Garraway’s heartbreaking reasons for refusing to find love after husband Derek’s death

EXCLUSIVE: Kate Garraway’s closest and dearest would like to find happiness with a new person, but according to a source, the GMB presenter isn’t ready yet.

After Kate Garraway shut down rumours that she was dating again, a source reveals she has a well-meaning cheerleading team around her who want nothing more than to see her loved-up once again. The Good Morning Britain host spoke out about potentially taking tentative steps back into dating after losing her husband Derek Draper, but confessed that she found the idea of being with anyone but him “preposterous”.

Kate, 58, was married to the political lobbyist-turned-psychotherapist for almost two decades, until his death in January 2024 aged 56, following a long battle with Covid. Opening up about how she’s coped since becoming a single parent to her and Derek’s two children, Darcey, now 19, and Billy, 16, Kate, as OK! reports, revealed she didn’t like the thought of spending “the rest of her life without love”.

She added, “Our home life was just pottering around, and we had 21 years of that, so mentally I am still in that zone,” and added that she couldn’t see herself with anyone else. Our source adds that Kate’s friends are actively encouraging her to explore the possibility of dating someone new despite her reservations.

Our source claims that “someone is interested and her friends are encouraging her to just explore that and see how it makes her feel.” Kate isn’t currently ready for anything more than friendship, though. No one is trying to make things happen by force since it is still too soon.

She might want to take things slowly and even consider herself a single woman once more. who excels in return and has a lot to offer. She’s said to be starting to have a few dinners and moving slowly.

Recently, there has been rife rumors about Kate’s romantic life, with various rumors that “her new man” has been discovered. People weighing in on when the right time is right to move on after a partner’s death have inevitably attracted a flurry of comments from the posts, many of which appear to include images of either Kate’s coworkers or married friends.

On a Facebook post linking the former I’m A Celeb star to a “close friend of her late husband”, a person commented that she’d “got over Derek quick enough”, but was quickly shut down by more of the well-intentioned followers. Further supportive comments included one from a fellow widower: “To find love again is wonderful. Unless you have experienced a terrible sadness, you will never know the emptiness and loneliness you feel.”

“Good luck, Kate,” another phrase. You are entitled to it. Now it’s your turn to keep the head up, Derek, because you gave a lot to him. According to our source, Kate is afraid of being judged or upsetting those around her, which is one of the reasons she isn’t jumping head first into a new relationship.

She is a woman who is constantly questioning and worrying about what other people might think if she had another man in her life. They assert that she would never want to hurt or upset anyone, especially her children.

“In reality, all of her friends, including her children, want her to be happy,” she says. She is deserving of it, they say. She endured hell without even realizing it. It takes a long time to go through something so challenging. But she never forgets Derek or tells a funny story about him again. He’ll be a part of her heart forever.

Kate also revealed that she was still mentally stable and in the “zone” of the shared life, but that she was aware that she would eventually have to consider the future.

According to psychotherapist Kamalyn Kaur, Kate’s conflicted feelings are very normal. “What Kate described, about still being mentally in the world she built with Derek, is a very natural stage of grieving and adjusting to a new identity,” she tells . “There’s no rush for her, and honouring that ‘not yet’ feeling is actually a sign of self-awareness and emotional integrity.”

Continue reading the article.

Kate might be ready to take those next romantic steps, Kamalyn adds, when her curiosity about “connection and companionship” starts to outweigh fears and resistance, and she can picture the potential to create something new without feeling” like a betrayal of what she shared with Derek.

She explains that the ideal moment is more about when the heart feels inspired to make new connections. Instead of pushing herself to date when she’s not yet ready, she’s definitely doing the right thing by going with what feels right.

Sam Thompson addresses Strictly plans and warns he ‘doesn’t really have talent’

Sam Thompson has revealed whether he would follow Pete Wicks on the Strictly dancefloor and which dance he would want to do if he signed up for the BBC One program.

Sam Thompson has revealed whether or not he’d do hit show Strictly Come Dancing and which “dicey” dance he’d want to try out. The former Made in Chelsea star is best mates with Pete Wicks, who got to the semi-final last year.

When asked if he’d ever do Strictly, Sam told the Mirror: “I don’t know. I’ve never been a talent guy. I don’t really have a talent. That was the reason I’m A Celebrity was so good for me, I didn’t have to do anything. I just had to go and make friends.”

He emphasized that it would be “funny” if he attempted to perform Strictly but that he fears his nerves would interfere with his performance. I don’t know how good I would be because I’m very anxious and overthink everything. But it would be amusing in itself.

Sam and Pete co-host a podcast called Staying Relevant, and he claims that doing Strictly would be a “luxury” if he so desired. If he said, “If I thought the time was right.” “Then yes”.

When asked what kind of dance he wanted to do, he initially said, “Where I’d be skipping and tapping my toes,” before revising and choosing something more “romantic” and “dicey.”

What’s the truly romantic one, exactly? The Viennese Waltz and The Waltz! That’s where everyone interacts with one another in a very conflictsome way. I’d love to do something similar because it gets very close.

Sam continued to claim that he believes he would be the first one out, but he does practice some dance moves. “Pete taught me to dance in any case.” Without even knowing what Strictly was, Pete entered the show as a complete novice. “Pete is amazing, he is actually amazing at dancing now.”

Though Sam isn’t competing this year, Pete is still heading to live shows to support a pal, as his friend Vicky Pattison is taking part. The Geordie Shore star has been partnered with Kai Widdrington. In the first week, they danced a Cha Cha Cha to Ella Eyre’s Best of My Love and followed that this week with a Foxtrot to Rein Me In by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean.

Vicky attended the Staying Relevant live performance at the O2 in September. She praised Pete on Instagram and called his accomplishments “incredible.”

Sam claimed in a statement to the Mirror that Pete is his “one constant” throughout “massive highs and lows” and that recording a podcast with his best friend was a blessing.
