Today marks five years since Lady Gabriella, 43, who is 56th in line to the throne, emerged from St George's Chapel, Windsor, into glorious sunshine on the arm of her financier husband. But, rather than exchanging wooden gifts, Ella, as she is known to family and friends, is mourning the man whom she dated for three years before he proposed to her on the Channel Island of Sark.

While less starry than the weddings of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie , who were also married at Windsor Castle , Lady Gabriella's and Thomas's nuptials had an equally dazzling array of guests, including a contingent of senior Royals.

ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: Of course, there are some things I would like to improve: my handwriting, my inability to read foreign words, and my propensity to have 'just one more'. However, the mere thought of setting self-improvement goals discourages me from taking them seriously.

EMILY PRESCOTT: Your normal Christmas card may cost you a few pounds, but if you happen to own one signed by Princess Diana, you're on a goldmine. Two cards she sent to her godson Prince Philippos in 1989 have only sold at a Cirencester auction for £900. But how they survived is a mystery, as those close to Philippos, 37, the youngest son of Greece's last king, Constantine II, tells me he had nothing to do with the selling.

Turtles are back in British waters, 5,000 years since they were extinct, and conservationists have devised a scheme to return turtles to British waters. They want to reintroduce the European pond turtle, shown here, and that they can also combat pollution by eating dead fish, dispersing rare plant species, and reducing stagnation by disrupting sediment. The first stage of the reintroduction would be to create a large enclosure in eastern England to see how a large population of 60 turtles would cope here. On GoFundMe, the conservationists have initiated a crowdfunding campaign to help maintain the turtle habitat and are being sponsored by influential environmentalists, including Ben Goldsmith, a former board member of the Department of Environment.

Ben Goldsmith explains in detail how his beloved farm in Somerset is a love letter to his teenage daughter Iris. When Iris was tragically killed in a TV crash in 2019 when she was just 15, the financier, 42, was devastated.

In the Iris Project, a campaign that helps fund and support young climate activists around the world, the wealthy British financier, 42, spoke openly about the teen's legacy and how he's immortalized her love of nature. Vincent, the father-of-seven who welcomed his youngest, who died just last year, said that his children are still be inspired by Iris. Some are even interested in the environmental campaign disguised in their sister's name.

According to Ben Goldsmith, Britain's arrogance about rewilding has prevented it from reintroducing missing predators. Britons were once obligated to live alongside once-native animals, including wolves and lynxes, before being forced to extermination by ancestors. Goldsmith asked: 'What's with this British exceptionalism that we are somehow too grand and too civislised to rewild?' Isabella Tree, an environmentalist, was interviewed at the Hay Festival during a talk at the Hay Festival.

Ben Goldsmith is no longer mourning the death of his beautiful daughter Iris, who died in a horrific crash four years ago, but he continues to wake up with his pillow soaked in tears.

I know she's dead and I'm drowning in tears on one level, but on another level, I'm sure [she's dead] and I'm just thrilled to be with her.' ' I often wake up with a wet pillow.'

Ayahuasca's use isn't limited to shamanistic rituals deep inside Peru's jungles - or young Western tourists exploring South America. Celebrities and middle-class people are also fans of the psychedelic brew, which can make users vomit during their search for'spiritual enlightenment.' Prince Harry opened up about his own ayahuasca experience earlier this year, with the Duke of Sussex saying it had "changed me" and referring it to "cleaning the windscreen" of his tense mind.

They belong to a small, chippy group that can be easily ignored for the time being.' For the remainder of us who enjoy these ancient ceremonies, go big or go home.'

For years, America's "paper of record" has been accused of showing a haughty ignorance of the truth of life in the United Kingdom, with reports in recent years indicating that Brits spend their time "cavorting in swamps" and eating a diet of 'porridge and boiled mutton.' For several, the most recent survey only confirmed this conclusion, with Andrew Neil suggesting that a funeral for a head of state who had been on unfailing service for 70 years would be funded by the country's taxpayers. 'The Queen's funeral will be paid out of taxation,' he tweeted.' Any head of state anywhere has to die first.' Or, perhaps there are no depths to which the nytimes will not stoop in its anti-British ferries.'
