News about Jenny Packham

The pair became friends at St Andrew's University (left) - with the early days of their romance recently dramatised in the final season of The Crown - and that connection blossomed into romance. Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in October 2010 and the couple now share three children George, Charlotte and Louis (inset).

The Gentlemen outfits on Netflix tell a tale that has turned into rack and ruin as a second son inherits a family estate that, as he discovers, has devolved into rack and ruin. Needless to say, it's also a tale of Barbour jackets, wellies, and Prince of Wales checks. Susie Glass (HoKaya Scodelario)'s subtuitive style echoes the Princess of Wales' beautifully curated wardrobe, while Eddie Horniman (Theo James ) mimics a dressed down Prince William. The Gentlemen's wardrobe, created by costume designer Lou Lou Bontemps, gives endless fashion inspiration, beautifully encapsulating each character in classic-with-a-twist country wear outfits as well as luxurious fashion prints, as well as a strong similarity to our own royal family.

According to polls, in a few months' time, Opposition Leader Sir Keir Starmer will face him in digs much more salubrious than his first London flat above a massage parlour. Sir Keir's life became more accessible and more liberal as he stepped up-sized across his beloved north London over the years. We take a look at the property moves Sir Keir has made in his lifetime from a bungalow in Woodchurch Kent to a four-bed terrace in Kentish Town.

Taylor Swift wore an uncannily Kate-esque ensemble adorned by a white Schiaparelli column gown, an echo of the princess at last year's Baftas. Although the thigh-high slit and corset bodice were a little racier than the royal's McQueen number and her Lorraine Schwartz jewels were more opulent than Kate Middleton's Zara earrings, the pair were united in regal style. In fact, Taylor Swift and Kate have been style twins on several occasions. There are clear similarities in how the women dress for their high-profile yet very different roles, from a shared love of Jenny Packham and glittering gowns to pared down separates such as camel coats and chic stripes.

With so many demands and so much scrutiny, royal fashion is exacting. Perhaps it's natural, then, that many of the leading ladies, from Queen Letizia of Spain to Queen Mary of Denmark, or from Beatrice to Kate, choose the same designers. When Catherine, Princess of Wales, discovers a name she loves, she grabs it and wears the style with a calm attitude. Consider Alexander McQueen, Emilia Wickstead, and Jenny Packham, as well as new additions Alessandra Rich and Self Portrait. Queen Elizabeth favored her own select brands and designers, bestowing them with prestigious royal warrants and bringing them to prominence and thus catapulting them to success. This was the case, for example, with her Launer handbags, Barbour coats, and exquisite Norman Hartnell tailoring. The same is true across the European monarchies, as these photos - an A to Z of top royal fashion designers - show.

Natasha Archer was seen leaving the hospital where the royal has been recovering from surgery for more than a decade (left) yesterday. During her stay at the London Clinic in Mayfair, the Princess' personal assistant and stylist was one of the few people to visit the royal. Natasha (top right), the mother of two who is married to royal photographer Chris Jackson, has been by Kate's side for some of her best life events of the past decade, from royal births to overseas tours. Despite her high-profile career, the stylist (bottom right), 36, has largely escaped from the limelight, but she does seem to be unwavering in her support for the Princess. Here FEMAIL examines Kate and Natasha's close friendship throughout the Princess's working life.

During a whizzzling December, the Princess of Wales appeared unwell at a royal carol concert, attended the annual Sandringham church service, and opened a new children's surgery unit. Despite attending multiple royal engagements in the last month, it's been 23 days since Kate last saw in public. Kate, who has undergone abdominal surgery, is expected to be out of action until after Easter and away from royal duties for up to three months. The princess was last seen on Christmas Day as she walked to church with the remainder of the royal family.

Kate Middleton, who turns 42 today, was among the famous see-through dresses (left) that caught Prince William's attention during a charity fashion preview at St. Andrew's in 2002, to her wedding dress that inspired scores of popular brides. Both the pair were first friends, but it was believed that seeing her in the seethrough dress, made by another student, brought him in a new light in his twenties, showing off her legs in short shorts. Kate went for a silk blue wrap midi by Issa - the shade matched her new shiny engagement ring (inset). Kate opted for pretty dresses at royal engagements, mixing high street and high end (centre in a £180 Hobbs dress in 2012 in the Solomon Islands), but opting for glamorous style on the red carpet (second right in a custom Jenny Packham gown at the No Time to Die Premiere in 2021). She has, however, chosen more suits to be involved in her role as the Princess of Wales in recent months. Right: Kate in an Alexander McQueen suit to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham

With her outfits vanishing from the high street the moment she appears in public, it is clear that the Princess of Wales has a 'Copy-Kates' army. However, some are starting to wonder if the royal trendsetter has her own undiscovered source of inspiration, in the shape of Hollywood royalty. Kate made a dramatic silver gown from Jenny Packham in 2011, a style that was not present on Angelina Jolie earlier this year. Since then, Kate has been a style sister - and occasionally a mirror image - on numerous occasions.

The Brunei royal, 32, posted a charming snap with his soon-to-be wife (pictured), who is known to set hearts racing on Instagram to his nearly two million followers. The 32-year-old, the Sultan's son and his ex-second wife Hajah Miriam Abdul Aziz, will wed Anisha later this month, with Prince and Princess of Wales George Johnson expected to attend.

The monarch, 75, couldn't help but smile at the sight of a man dressed as Father Christmas at the festive affair, with the pair sharing a ecstatic greeting upon meeting one another. When visiting the London market, Charles was told by the amusing Santa that he is on the "very top of his good list." During his outing, the royal, dressed in a smart coat matched with a shirt and a violet tie, visited local business owners and talked with the King's Award for Voluntary Service recipients. Following author Omid Scobie's explosive charges, the King's appearance comes after a week of drama for the Royal Family.

SHANE WATSON: The Princess of Wales' dress at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday was simply stunning. She was covered in rose gold hand-stitched sequins embellished with crystals at the neck and waist from her collarbone to her wrists and the tips of her pointy sparkly pumps. Nothing says princess, or a party at the Palace, or luxury (sequin comes from the Arabic word for coin) quite like a floor-sweeping fitted gown coated in spangles. Jenny Packham's Georgia gown is the latest in a long line of sequin dresses Kate has worn over the years. (She has a very similar style in emerald green.) There was the delicate pale pink tulle dress, adorned with distressed silver sequins, she wore for a gala dinner in 2011, and the one everyone remembers, the gold cape dress she wore for the UK premiere of Bond film No Time To Die (immediately named the Goldfinger).

During a reception for critically ill children, the royal (inset), 76, kicked off the holiday season in a fun way today, and every festive box was ticked, including the equerry's tradition. Major Ollie Plunket (pictured left) was given the annual challenge of adding to a Christmas tree by adding a decoration with the tip of his sword. During this year, Major Plunket received support from a sweet young guest named Yasir Ibrahim (pictured right in second photograph), four, who cheerfully assisted with the decoration's tip before releasing it on the tree. As the pair continued the tradition for another year, the guests applauded.

The Queen and the Princess of Wales' stunning jewels and accessories at Buckingham Palace last night are examined by FEMAIL. Camilla, 75, and Kate, 41, pulled out all the stops in their exhibit, choosing pieces from the vault that no doubt had sentimental value, just hours after the Duchess of Sussex (inset) stepped out in Santa Barbara wearing a diamond tennis bracelet she was given by King Charles on the eve of her wedding to Prince Harry.

What a year and a few unfortunate missiles make. Yes, Princess of Wales was regal at the Diplomatic Corps reception in Buckingham Palace in 2022. Yes, it's beautiful. But it was just right. A scarlet, embroidered, and embellished Jenny Packham gown. She wore the Lotus Flower Tiara (the jewels were a wedding gift from Elizabeth Bowes Lyons and converted into a headpiece worn often by Princess Margaret) and an expression that had no interest in the world.

More than 500 dignitaries were welcomed to Buckingham Palace for the glittering annual Diplomatic Reception, accompanied by Queen Camilla and The Prince and Princess of Wales, Charles, 75 (pictured). The four most senior family members posed for a portrait together for a portrait before the 'white tie and tiaras' function was held. Following Omid Scobie's latest book on the monarchy's fury after it was discovered that a Dutch-language version of a Dutch-language version contained the names of two family members convicted by the Duchess of Sussex of 'unconscious bias,' it would be seen as a sign of solitary.'

The Princess of Wales (pictured) looked as radiant as ever as she attended the Buckingham Palace Christmas Diplomatic Reception this evening. Kate, 41, accompanied King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince of Wales, was on stage in a gold Jenny Packham 'Georgia' gown, which was embellished with sequins. Kate matched the stunning ballgown, which she had previously worn to Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajwa's wedding reception in June 2023, with a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order sash. Kate sported the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara to add to the glaminess. Prince William's mother Princess Diana once owned the dazzling diamond and pearl tiara. It was stored in a safe at Buckingham Palace after her 1997 death before it was delivered to Kate. Diana's tiara, which Diana said was so heavy it gave her headaches, was made by Royal jewellers Garrard in 1914 to Queen Mary's personal style, with pearls and diamonds already in her family's possession.

Emilia Wickstead's 'Kate' dress, which the royal has in lavender, cobalt blue, olive green, and teal, was named after the Princess of Wales. The dress was previously available in pink, red, and navy for £1,350, but it is no longer available.

The Princess of Wales is often praised for her thoughtful selection of accessories, often referring to both Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth. At last night's Royal Variety Performance, the mother of three, 41, displayed her sentimental side, sporting a glittering bracelet reminiscent of the late Queen's Edinburgh Wedding Bracelet. Kate oozed elegance in a £1,745 Safiyaa gown made from heavy crepe, with a jewelled boat neck, dramatic shoulders, and split sleeves for the Royal Albert Hall event on Sunday, as well as the bracelet in question. Despite the ongoing fallout from the Omid Scobie race row, the royal awed as she arrived at the Royal Albert Hall with her husband Prince William, 41, and their guests, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel.

Duchess of Edinburgh looked sophisticated as she attended a glitzy State Banquet to welcome the President and First Lady of South Korea at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening (left). Sophie, 58, opted to wear the regal white Suzannah couture floor-length embroidery gown she first wore at Westminster Abbey earlier this year for her brother-in-law's coronation, King Charles. The royal completed the sophisticated ensemble with a Anya Hindmarch silver Maud Clutch bag and Emmy London Pumps, priced £455 (right).

Kate, 41, joined Prince William, King and Queen, as well as the Queen and King in welcoming Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee at the glittering festivities at Buckingham Palace in London. Jenny Packham, the mother of three, ethereal in a white dress, rounded out her look with a glitzy pair of earrings attributed to Queen Elizabeth, her Family Order, and her GCVO sash and actor. The royal, who was seen arriving in a vehicle, selected the Strathmore Rose Tiara, which belonged to the Queen Mother and was a gift from her parents in 1923. As the then Duchess of York decided to dress in keeping with the times, it can be worn on the head or across the forehead as a bandeau. However, the delicate floral style had not been worn in public for many years before tonight.

Kate Middleton has swapped in her signature midi dresses for a refreshing change in her royal wardrobe this fall, including quintessential trousers in her rotation. The newly crowned princess stepped out in a grey mock-neck sweater jacket from Cefinn layered over a classic white collared button-down jacket while visiting the Vsi Razom Community Hub in Bracknell on October 4th. She teamed up with coordinating wool trousers from Sézane and her go-to-J.Crew Avery heels in plaid tweed. As her layered hair and curtain bangs blasted lightly in the wind, Middleton, 41, went down the subtle accessory route with Shyla's pearl gold earrings. Middleton takes inspiration from Princess Diana's style handbook, similar to her sister-in-law Meghan Markle. Most recently, she re-created one of Diana's most popular styles in a green blazer with a white lapel and a white pleated skirt for Wimbledon 2023, just like her late mother-in-law wore at Trooping the Colour in 1988. Middleton also paid tribute to her at the same event this past June by wearing her coveted sapphire and diamond earrings as well as an Andrew Gn green suit. When returning home from giving birth to Prince George in 2013, she most resembled Diana's appearance in a blue-and-white Catherine Walker dress outside the hospital with verstehen Prince William 31 years ago.

Make-up artist Lisa Little told FEMAIL how the queen, 76, achieved her show-stopping appearance when she arrived at the Palace of Versailles for the State Banquet in Paris last night. The Queen's'masterclass' included statement eye make up with bold framed eyebrows, as well as a regal lip in a berry hue and a glowing complexion, according to Lisa. Queen Camilla's Dior outfit was an homage to her host nation, while the jewellery she chose, from the Royal Collection added a tribute t0 Hr

Coco Chanel and the Duke of Westminster are among the many celebrities to have made headlines recently. Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg are among the featured authors. And now that there is a new Anglo-French power pair in town, there's also a new Anglo-French power duo. To be precise, in Paris. Qui ça? Bien sûr, Camilla et Brigitte. All attention wasn't on King Charles when he returned to France yesterday for a state visit, nor French President Emmanuel Macron - it was their wives who stole the show (bottom left). Queen Camilla, 76, didn't go for a style by one of her favorite London couture houses, instead focusing on a theme by one of her state banquet. Rather, she wore the fashion house most synonymous with France, and the same designer her hostess First Lady Brigitte Macron, 70, called on Dior. And Camilla's cape dress gets my vote as her most chic look - ever. Mon dieu, what a statement! Camilla did wear something British and one-colour when she arrived earlier (top right) - Fiona Clare's pink coat dress; Brigitte wore a Saint Laurent suit. Melanie Hamrick, Mick Jagger's partner, selected Jenny Packham (inset); actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, Saint Laurent (right).
