Meghan Markle was snapped at Paris Fashion Week, where former Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anne Wintour described the Duchess of Sussex’s chic all-white outfit as “amazing”

Meghan Markle made her first visit to Europe in more than two years this week to help “warm up” frosty relations with the Royal Family, it is today claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was greeted with kisses by the European style pack as well as former Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anna Wintour during Paris Fashion Week. Royal experts expressed surprise as Meghan went to France without Prince Harry and any state-funded security protection.

But it is now argued the mum of two’s appearance at Paris Fashion Week is actually part of the “Establishment plot” – called “Project Thaw” because it is reportedly designed to “warm up” the Duke’s and Duchess’s frosty relationships with the rest of the Royal Family and with the British people. A friend of the California-based couple said: “This trip is all part of the ‘thaw’ process.”

Speculation grew in the summer about Harry and Meghan’s return to The Firm, despite Harry’s emotional BBC interview in May during which he said: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”

But it is understood the picture may have changed for the couple, who are no longer entitled to state security on visits to the UK, and royal insiders believe Meghan’s presence at Paris Fashion Week is a sign of this. The friend told the Daily Mail: “Meghan will return to Britain before the year is out,” adding jokingly that the former actress will be “bearing humble pie”.

In the French capital, Meghan attended Balenciaga show, reportedly in support of Pierpaolo Piccioli, who recently assumed the role of Creative Director for the House. She received praise from Dame Anna, 75, who described the mum’s chic all-white ensemble as “beautiful” and “amazing” at the event. This engagement was captured on video, footage since widely shared on social media, again thought to play well into “Project Thaw”.

It is said “Project Thaw” aims to melt hostility towards Harry and Meghan, building on the perceived success of the duke’s visit to Britain last month when he carried out charity engagements and, crucially, was invited to Clarence House for tea with King Charles. Afte the first face-to-face meeting between father and son in 19 months, Harry joked he felt more like “an official visitor” to the royal residence.

Victoria Beckham has been married to David Beckham, the ex England footballer, for more than 25 years and the former Spice Girl today spoke about her relationship

Victoria Beckham has told she wears earplugs in bed – because David snores.

The fashion designer opened up about her 26-year marriage to the former England captain in a tell-all interview. Although the mum of four is in a triumphant new Netflix documentary about her career, in the interview, Posh, 51, subtly reminded fans she and David are relatable.

She gushed over David and said, while he snores at night, she wouldn’t ever banish him to the spare room. Victoria said: “That’s not healthy, you don’t want to do that… That’s why you’ve got to do the earplugs.

“I wear earplugs. Let me tell you, it ain’t for fun. What do you think I’m doing it for? It’s not to pull a look in bed. He might look like that, but breaking news, even my husband snores. I have to have the earplugs.”

The lives of power couple, worth a combined £500million, are laid bare in the Netflix programme. Posh, though, candidly told The Sun she and David like watching the occasional TV drama, listening to podcasts and spending quality time together, just like any couple in a long and happy marriage.

Victoria particularly enjoys reading thrillers, such as Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid’s Secret, billed as a “psychological thriller with a shocking twist”. She recommends reads to David who, because of his OCD, buys his own copy days later.

But making the documentary was “emotional,” the former Spice Girl added. She said: “It was emotional at times. There are certain things your mind has the amazing ability to forget because there were triggering things along the way.

“I went into this saying I didn’t want to talk about the Spice Girls because I’ve spent 20 years building this fashion brand. So I’m mindful I’ve been fighting these preconceptions that I’m just a celebrity face for 20 years. Only now do I feel I’ve earned my right to show in Paris.”

Victoria launched her own fashion label in September 2008, seven years after Spice Girls initially disbanded. The Paris show was the unveiling of her spring/summer 2026 collection — which would have been unthinkable 20 years ago.

Snooty designers keen to fiercely guard their patch dismissed Victoria when the brand was launched. Yet she has shown the resilience for it to triumph and today, her brand sells more than £115million of clothes annually and is worn by everyone from Catherine, Princess of Wales to former First Lady Michelle Obama and actress Daisy Edgar-Jones.

One of the stars of The Story of Tracy Beaker has just announced the birth of her son and shared what life has been like since his “early and very speedy arrival”

A Tracy Beaker star has welcomed a baby boy and opened up about life since his “early and very speedy arrival”. According to the new mum, she is “still in shock” following the birth.

Over twenty years ago, Chelsie George – then Chelsie Padley – had a starring role in The Story of Tracy Beaker, the franchise’s first show. From 2002 to 2004, she played Louise Govern, Tracy’s best friend.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Chelsie announced the birth of her son Dusty Leigh George. She captioned a video of Dusty in an oversized jumper with: “5.10.25. 5lbs 14oz 35+4 (had to beat his sis). Introducing our impatient little man.”

Chelsie already has a daughter, Goldie Raynor George. She continued the caption: “We are all head over heels and Goldie is just besotted. Can’t wait to tell you all more about his early and very speedy arrival (still in shock I think) but we are soaking up this absolutely precious time along with a little side of jaundice, very little sleep and LOTS of milk!

“P.s. excuse the colostrum stain… Dusty said hell no to the perfect post, we are in real life baby. P.p.s. he also said… mum, get me some clothes that fit!”

Tracy Beaker herself, Dani Harmer, commented: “Ahhhhh congratulations lovely!!!!!!” Dani came back to the franchise for Tracy Beaker Returns and My Mum Tracy Beaker, as did Montana Thompson, who played Justine Littlewood, Tracy’s nemesis. But Chelsie did not.

Since appearing in The Story of Tracy Beaker, Chelsie was in one episode of children’s TV show Tati’s Hotel and had a cameo in the music video for Someday by Keisha White, which was the theme song for Tracy Beaker. Other than that, she seems to have stepped away from acting.

For the past two years, Chelsie has largely been an influencer, posting content to her social media about being a mother. Her Instagram, @mamaspeachylife, shares snippets of her life with her children and home workouts you can do whilst looking after a baby.

She also posted a pic of her and the new baby to her stories, with the words: “Happy as a pig in poo. Lots of feeds with little sleeps in between. Nothing better than your own bed.”

Shortly after, she shared her fears about looking after a newborn again, saying there was a “constant worry”. “One thing I forgot about the newborn days is the constant worry with their temperature.

“Is it too hot? No, I feel a nip in the air. They need one more layer than us but then do [premature babies] need more? Ahhh don’t let them overheat. Hat? No hat? Feel the back of the neck. Feel the tummy.”

Chelsie also posted a picture after heading back to the hospital but promised her followers that everything was okay. “Nothing to overly worry about, little man just came out all early and bolshy and now is a sleepy jaundice little kind so we’ve headed back to hospital for a holiday on the sunbed.”

The post, which was accompanied by the Beatles’ Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, continued by reading: “And then there were 3.” It was then signed off by Millie and her husband Jake, who shared his surname at the end of the message to fans.

Another added: “You’re so thriving i love this for you.”

The news came after Millie and Jake, who is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, got married in 2024 following their engagement in 2023. They confirmed that they had tied the knot in separate posts on the platform in October following speculation.

Alongside photos from their wedding, Jake wrote in a post at the time: “Forever and always, your husband.”

Whilst Millie wrote, beside a series of photos from the nuptials, in the caption of her post: “Forever and always, your wife.”

Millie previously opened up about her desire to become a parent. Speaking on the SmartLess podcast in March, she said she hopes for a “big family” and even mentioned adoption.

She said: “Jake knows how important it is to me [to have a child].” She talked about balancing having a family with her career.

Millie said on the podcast: “Of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it’s so important to start a family, for me, personally.” Millie then commented: “Like, it’s a huge thing.”

Geordie actress Denise shared selfies with celeb guests from the big day on Instagram and was called an icon by fans. “It was quite exciting for me to post pictures of lovely people that I’d met at the BBQ. One of those turned out to be Troye Sivan. All these really cool people I didn’t know at the time until my Instagram blew up. It was testament to Charli and George just how lovely and relaxed it was. It was great, I’m very happy for them.”

Whilst Matty may not have made her a grandmother yet, she said she might be getting the practice in soon with their pet rats. “She had two rats. Sadly Bobby Robson has died. But Splinter is still flying. I’m a grandma to the rats.”
