News about Emma Freud

DEN CONFIDENTIAL: Emma Weymouth, the chatelaine of Longleat, her husband's majest family seat in Wiltshire, is used to being centre stage. But next month, it appears that she'll be eclipsed - at least for an hour or two - by a parade of similarly glamorous women, even if she's a decade or two younger. Both of them, I can reveal, will be ex-lovers of Emma's late father-in-law, Alexander, the 7th Marquess of Bath (pictured), who died in 2020 aged 87, earning himself the soubriquet 'the Loins of Longleat'.

One neighbor mourned the departure of the Tower as the man behind romcom film Notting Hill revealed he was leaving the West London area he had mapped.' But now, ravens have nested in a Grade II-listed townhouse in North London, where film director Richard Curtis and his longtime partner, and now wife, broadcaster Emma Freud, are content. Their swanky new home is on a private road in Hampstead that has been home to high-profile people, including late Tinker Tailor Spy author John le Carré.

For the first time since announcing their clandestine union, Richard Curtis and his new wife Emma Freud were seen in public. The 66-year-old Love Actually and Notting Hill moviemaker and his partner, 61, stepped out for a dog walk in west London on Thursday.

After being diagnosed with OCD recently, Scarlett Curtis, (left) daughter of Love Actually creator Richard Curtis (right), has announced that the 'anxiety dog' she purchased to support her with mental health issues is now dealing with problems on its own. Ms Curtis, 28, said Betty, the toy poodle, was having trouble settling in to her new Notting Hill flat, which was purchased for her by her father and mother, Emma Freud. Ms Curtis said, 'Betty is a real oddball.' She was born with OCD, but she can't climb stairs.' Canine OCD is extremely rare, affecting only 21% of dogs, and it is most noticeable in males.

Following two failed engagments, Richard Curtis has finally married Emma Freud. On Saturday, the 66-year-old Love Actually and Notting Hill maker's intimate wedding was only revealed as Emma, 61, let the news slip while interviewing actor Richard E Grant, 66. According to guests, Richard was also sporting a gold ring on his wedding finger, with which he kept fiddling.

Scarlett Curtis, 28, (pictured) is a writer, designer, and feminist who curated The Sunday Times bestseller Feminists Don't Wear Pink, as well as designing the artwork for Ed Sheeran's seventh album Autumn Variations. Lucian Freud's great-niece is Scarlett's niece, daughter of both the celebrated film-maker and broadcaster Emma Freud. Curtis, 66, has admitted that his activist daughter made him see sense, that he was "stupid and wrong" for the way he wrote about women and teased people's sizes in his films. Curtis added that he regretted a lot of his work, but he was 'unobservant' and 'not as smart' as he should have been.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: They were shocked to see flames tear into their 18th century timber-framed house only last year. The fire was eventually contained by 14 fire engines and crews, but it hasn't eased the agony for romantic comedy king Richard Curtis and his lady Emma Freud. The couple are now suffering from more intense trauma at Walberswick, which has been a refuge for the Freud family for 90 years or more. The idyllic seaside village has erupted, thanks to 'green energy' plans to link offshore power to the national grid by a 50-foot-high substation on a 35-acre site - plans that, according to locals, will needlessly industrialize swaths of Suffolk coastline. Emma says she's thrilled that the village's plight is getting national notice, but her cousin, novelist Esther Freud, whose books include Hideous Kinky, leads the charge.

This week, the monarch, 65, celebrated his son Alexandre's 20th birthday and was photographed with his mother Nicole Coste. Albert's daughter, Tamara Rotolo, Jazmin, was also there. Charlene, the mother of Albert's two legitimate children, sadly missed the festival. But then maybe she wasn't invited?

Richard Curtis' partner of 33 years has told her she proposed to him for the second time, but only for him to be asleep. Emma Freud, a screenwriter best known for his comedies including Love Actually and Notting Hill, has been with writer and producer Emma Freud for more than three decades and shared four children together.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: If you're blessed with 17 children - whether full, half, or step - it's probably safer to let others handle the party planning. So Petra Khashoggi (pictured middle), who grew up thinking billionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, allowed her chum Anna Rothschild to take charge of Danny Baker Jr's birthday bash last summer. 'It was a pleasure,' a visitor tells me, but Petra, who is now 43 but was 18 when she learned that her father was, in fact, former Tory Cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken. "We don't choose our families, but we can make our own," the chum says. 'She seemed to be missing a hug from home.'

MailOnline revealed last week how a 'hapless Bernard' character appears in films including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones' Diary, all of which were written by Curtis (Curtis bottom left with his wife Emma Freud). Nursie, Curtis' hit TV show Blackadder's much-loved character, is actually named Bernard. When the pair met at Oxford, Curtis dated Baroness Anne Jenkin (bottom right with Sir Bernard), but she went on to marry Sir Bernard, who is a vivacious nudist. The filmmaker admitted yesterday that, "All I would say is, there is a smidgeon of truth in it." 'It's much more to do with it being a good character name [...] than anything to do with Bernard Jenkin.' When asked if he's getting his own back on Baroness Jenkin, he replied: "She's a friend of mine and she married someone named Bernard." I can't say anything more than that. MailOnline expands on all the Bernard characters used by Curtis.

But will Sarah, Duchess of York tackle what appears to be a new 'low' in her inimitable business career? Fergie, the theatre investment firm of which Fergie was a director until shortly before being forced into administration in 2020 after clearly losing £19 million, prompted the concern. Liquidators, who are trying to recover money for creditors, have just released a Progress Report, revealing that a'settlement bid' for an outstanding loan was turned down.

ICHARD EDEN: Despite her appearance she was British, Buckingham Palace guest Ngozi Fulani said she was left feeling 'violated' after Prince William's godmother 'interrogated' her about where she was from at a reception on Tuesday. I can tell you that a very common problem may have played a role in the enlightening conversation with Lady Susan Hussey. Lady Susan is unusually difficult of hearing,' one of her friends informs me.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: He has everything a man could want for, including the adoration of his girlfriend Emma Freud, who has four children. However, I can reveal that Richard Curtis, the king of the rom-com, is urgently seeking permission from Kensington & Chelsea Council after admitting that he and Freud ignored planning rules at their £20 million Notting Hill townhouse. Last week, they had to come clean because they are now trying to sell their London home. In 2006, the couple were granted permission to demolish an outbuilding in the garden, eight years after they bought the property for £3.6 million. They could build a garage in its place to'be available for car parking at all times,' according to the council, 'and not for dwelling, industrial, or other uses.'
