Meet Poppy Delevingne's boyfriend, Archie Keswick, as they await their baby girl
Poppy Delevingne and Archie Keswick are expecting a child together. Photos: @poppydelevigne/Instagram; SCMP Fame and celebrity Poppy Delevingne has had an exciting start to 2025. Cara Delevingne's older sister is expecting her first child – a girl – with partner Archie Keswick, reports People. The model shared the happy news in an interview with Elle UK, gushing that her soon-to-be-born daughter is 'all I've ever wanted'. The 38-year-old, who referred to her pregnancy as an 'extraordinary privilege', realised she was pregnant during London Fashion Week last autumn. While attending a second fitting for the Burberry spring-summer 2025 show in which she appeared, she noticed her outfits felt tight and took a pregnancy test soon after. Delevingne and Keswick initially chose to keep mum about their news, waiting until the fourth month of her pregnancy before telling friends and family. Now, the Bittersweet Symphony actress is nearing the end of her second trimester, having decided to go public because 'there's no hiding this bump anymore'.
Not long after the revelation, Delevingne was spotted flaunting her baby bump at R Health Club founder and model Rosemary Ferguson's 50th birthday bash at Kensington's Rooftop Gardens, London. She was accompanied by Keswick to the glitzy party, where she crossed paths with her ex-husband James Cook and his new girlfriend, Lauren Brown.

Archie Keswick comes from some serious wealth. The Keswicks, a Scottish clan with a 7,285-hectare estate in Angus, Scotland, are collectively worth US$2.35 billion, says Forbes, thanks largely to their stake in Hong Kong-based conglomerate Jardine Matheson Holdings. The family occupied 34th spot in Forbes' 2024 Hong Kong's 50 Richest list.
Archie's father is Simon Keswick, who previously served as a director of Jardine Matheson. The diversified conglomerate owns the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, along with prestigious Hong Kong properties and brands, as well as Vietnam's largest dairy company. Archie's mother is Emma Chetwode, daughter of Major George David Chetwode and Lady Willa Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound. What does Archie Keswick do for work?

Midak bids to deliver poignant victory in ‘Aga Khan's' Epsom Derby
The imperious Shergar and Harzand book ended the late Aga Khan IV's five Epsom Derby winners and on Saturday Midak can provide a poignant win in the race which is named in his honour this year. Adding to the potential for a fairy tale, Midak is prominent French trainer Francis-Henri Graffard's first runner in the race considered to be the 'blue riband' of flat racing. The Aga Khan, for decades a leading owner-breeder of thoroughbreds and whose grandfather Aga Khan III also won the Derby five times, died aged 88 in February. Graffard, 48, says it is coincidental the 'historic' Aga Khan colours – a green top with red epaulettes and a green cap – will be represented. Midak impressed Graffard so much he persuaded Aga Khan Studs to pay £75,000 (HK$798,500) to supplement him for the race on Monday. 'When I came up with the idea of entering him I did not know it was being renamed in his honour,' said Graffard. Trainer Francis-Henri Graffard (centre) at Sha Tin in April.

They are prestigious and historic racing colours.'

Graffard said triumphing at his first attempt would be magical for the Aga Khan's family. 'Yes, you dream about these days,' he said. 'However, we know how hard it is to win Group One races, especially a Derby. 'It is my first runner in the race, we will learn plenty of things and hopefully come back in the future.' Midak will face 18 rivals as he bids to become only the fourth French winner of the Derby in the past 60 years. Graffard has won one classic for Aga Khan Studs this season, Zarigana benefiting from Shes Perfect's disqualification in the French 1,000 Guineas, prompting unsavoury behaviour from the latter's owners who yelled 'It's a joke' at the Aga Khan's daughter Princess Zahra as she was interviewed. The Aga Khan addresses an audience in 2015. Photo: AP Graffard, 54, has been heavily involved in the racing operation for many years. Although he was assistant trainer for a couple of years to Alain de Royer Dupre, the Aga's principal trainer until he retired in 2021, his encounters with him were rare. 'Unfortunately I only met him twice,' said Graffard. 'I would have loved to have gone racing with him and learned from his experience. 'However, Princess Zahra is very experienced and it is really interesting to make plans with her.' This teamwork has resulted in them entering Midak and pitting their wits against Delacroix – bidding to give Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien a record-extending 11th winner – and father-son partnership John and Thady Gosden's Damysus. Midak might never have even been a contender given that Graffard at one point considered gelding him – geldings are barred from running in the Derby – owing to his 'tricky temperament'. Midak remains unbeaten with a straight-forward success in the Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud!🇫🇷 Another progressive type for @GraffardRacing and @AgaKhanStuds! — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) May 9, 2025 'He was really difficult to train,' said Graffard. 'But I decided I would take him to the races before I resorted to [gelding him] and see how he fared. 'In his second race at Chantilly he was very green and jumped the road crossing the track, but he ended up winning nicely.' Things went smoother on his last start, winning the Group Three Prix Greffulhe (2,100m) – the same race that Pour Moi, France's last winner of the Derby in 2011, also captured. 'He ran much more professionally,' said Graffard. 'He is basically improving all the time.' Graffard says this season has only underlined that he made the right decision in opting to become a trainer rather than pursuing a career as a lawyer. 'It is a little bit crazy to think in the next fortnight we have two runners at Epsom then the Prix Diane and after that Royal Ascot,' he said. 'It is the dream job.'

How Hong Kong star Deanie Ip went from best actress to banned in mainland China
This is the 52nd instalment in a biweekly series profiling major Hong Kong pop culture figures of recent decades. For an acclaimed movie star whose accolades include best actress at the Venice Film Festival, Deanie Ip Tak-han has surprisingly little regard for fame and fortune. Known for standing up for her views even if it affects her career, the actress and singer is one of the most outspoken entertainers in Hong Kong. She spoke out against the June 4, 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square and joined protesters in Hong Kong in 2019 who opposed a law change to allow extraditions to mainland China. As a result, the 77-year-old's music has been banned on the mainland. Ann Hui, director of A Simple Life, poses with Deanie Ip as Ip holds the best actress trophy awarded for her role in the film at the 2011 Venice International Film Festival. Photo: AP This does not appear to have bothered Ip, who is never one for compromise – she does not accede to directors' wishes or chase after scripts, she has said. Born an illegitimate child in 1947, Ip had two mothers: one was her biological mother, a mistress, the other her father's infertile wife, who detested having to raise another woman's child.
