The Moscow-born art collector, 41, beamed as she touched her stomach while donning a black flowy mini dress and sandals. The beauty completed her look with gold hoop earrings and styled her hair in loose beachy waves for the romantic outing.

It is often assumed that it was the Abdication that poisoned relations between Edward Vlll and his family but less well-known is that money played a crucial part. After he chose to abdicate in December 1936, it was arranged that he would receive £25,000 per year. But it was quickly discovered that the ex-king had not been open about his financial situation and that he was far wealthier than he had claimed. He had told George Vl he had just under £100,000, when, in fact, he had some £800,000 - some £47million now - on deposit abroad, much of it controlled by Mrs Simpson. This vast wealth allowed the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to live a luxurious lifestyle, renting a mansion in Central Paris and taking a ten-year lease on the Chateau de la Croe (inset) on Cap d'Antibes, later owned by Aristotle Onassis, Stavros Niarchos and Roman Abramovich. They employed sixteen servants, including two chauffeurs, all dressed in a personal livery designed by the Duke , and travelled with so much luggage - up to 73 pieces - that it often had to be stored in hotel corridors.

With the gazes of many thousands, if not millions, of people when they marry, it's no wonder that royal couples often crave a restful break. Any spare money is worthless. After marrying long-term partner Greg Mallett, Lady Amelia Spencer took a luxurious holiday in the Maldives. This was inspired by her older sister Kitty, who spent more than a month travelling around Europe for her honeymoon. Some have chosen something more private. Balmoral has long been known as a popular destination for those looking to recharge their batteries in the Scottish Highlands. Here are the vibrant first getaways of the royal newlyweds from around the world, from playing Scrabble in the airport lounge to meeting the Pope.

When the 12th Duke of Beaufort was five, his parents deposited his younger sister and him at Badminton House in Gloucestershire and returned to London. It was 1957, and the siblings had not seen them for the next six years until they were mostly seen on weekends. They had 116 rooms before moving to a new home with their nanny in the nursery wing for the majority of the time. The 10th Duke of Beaufort, also known as Master, and his partner Mary, Queen Mary's niece, were the subject of a controversy over the whole estate. The Duke would become the country's most unlikely 12th Duke many decades later. Unlikely because his father, the unlikely 11th, was only distantly related to the 10th, who was his grandfather's first cousin who was never removed from his grandfather's first cousin. Of course, the reason they were Master's heirs was because he and his wife Mary were childless. They'd lived in Badminton alone (with many servants), so it's strange for them to have two small children there suddenly.

Geoffrey Munn (bottom inset), a member of the BBC's Antiques Roadshow, developed the brooch (pictured left, worn by Queen Camilla), which is one of a series of gem-set bugs, while he was the managing director of Fabergé egg specialist Wartski, which has two Royal Warrants. Camilla's bug was a recreation of his sons Alexander and Edward's pet stick insect, Sticky. Pictured right: Princess Margaret in 1963, wearing a necklace by legendary jeweler Carlo Giuliano, who became the cover star of Munn's book Castellani & Giuliano, on a discoss.

Lindsay, 36, seems to be winding down after she and her partner Bader Shammas announced that they were expecting their first child together just months after they married in a clandestine ceremony. But her personal life, as well as her public life, hasn't always been smooth sailing after kicking off her time in the spotlight after late Aaron Carter admitted that he begged then-girlfriend Hilary Duff to date Lindsay back in 2003. When she was caught up in another suspected love triangle in 2006, she appeared to be kissing Paris Hilton's ex Stavros Niarchos before going on to date Samantha Ronson, who was off the radio for the first time (top right). She was first engaged to Russian businessman Egor Tarabasov (bottom right), but the pair split in 2016 after being caught on a beach arguing over a mobile phone. FEMAIL has delved into the Mean Girls actress's tumultuous romance and her personal struggles that soon became tabloid fodder.

The exclusive bash took place at the Vogue editor-in-chief's townhouse in New York City's Greenwich Village district on Sunday night, with Sanchez (left), 52, having little to imagine in the super small, black gown. For the evening, the longtime girlfriend of former Amazon CEO Bezos, 58, wore a lacy, sheer number with sparkling embellishments throughout. In the strappy dress, which featured a plunging V-neck and a revealing slit near the bottom, Sanchez displayed her long legs as well as some cleavage. For his part, the computer scientist, who has a reported net worth of $146.9 billion, matched her in all black, rocking dark dress pants, and a button down shirt. Jackman and his partner, Deborra Lee Furness (right), DiCaprio (top center), English singer Florence Welch, and Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff Huma Abedin were among the many people invited to the party. In attendance were Australian actor Joel Edgerton, filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, as well as his sister, Bee Shaffer, 72-year-old Wintour's daughter, and popular TikTok influencer Emily Mariko.
