One of the things I have inherited from my dad, apart from the love and passion for our sport, is his sense of style and taste for quality clothing. Hackett fits perfectly with my understanding of style. It presents an opportunity to wear casual and comfortable clothes on a day-to-day basis without sacrificing an elegant look and a modern approach to classic garments.

Ordinary billionaires settle for a superyacht, but the Qatari royal family bought an entire marina in Spain and upgraded it just so their $500 million megayacht can dock in secrecy on their frequent summer retreats from Doha's blistering heat
This week, one of the most extraordinary vessels on the water, Al Lusail, the private superyacht of the Emir of Qatar, was spotted sailing along Spain's Mediterranean coast, drawing awe from onlookers and yacht enthusiasts alike. The 123-meter floating palace made a quiet return to Port Tarraco Marina, one of the few Mediterranean ports specifically equipped to accommodate vessels of its scale and stature. Interestingly, the port was previously owned by Qatar. Designed for privacy, security, and world-class luxury, Al Lusail is among the most technically advanced and visually distinctive superyachts in the world. Built by the renowned German shipyard Lürssen and delivered in 2017, the vessel boasts sleek, futuristic lines penned by British design studio H2 Yacht Design, with a lavish interior by March & White. The yacht features multiple swimming pools, a helipad, cinema, beach club, and expansive lounges tailored for relaxation and discreet meetings at sea. Though full details remain a closely guarded secret, Al Lusail is believed to accommodate up to 36 guests in absolute comfort, attended to by a highly trained crew. Its arrival at Port Tarraco, located in Tarragona just an hour south of Barcelona, is more than a picturesque stop along the Mediterranean. The marina itself has a quiet but notable history, originally developed with the capacity and infrastructure to berth some of the world's largest private vessels, Al Lusail included. In fact, while not officially confirmed, industry insiders often suggest that the marina's impressive specifications were influenced, at least in part, by the needs of the Qatari royal fleet during its original development in the early 2000s. With 33 berths ranging from 45 to 160 meters, Port Tarraco is one of the few facilities in Spain and indeed the broader region that can comfortably receive multiple 100-meter-plus yachts at once. Its deep-water access, high-capacity shore power, and advanced security systems make it ideal for ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking discretion, safety, and elite service. It was indirectly under the ownership of the Emir after it was purchased by the Qatari Diar Fund in 2011. Despite its past ties to Qatari investment via the Qatari Diar Fund, the port was sold in 2020 to Spanish marina operator Ocibar, who now manage it alongside other premier facilities such as Port Adriano and Marina Botafoc.

British School of Bahrain's new senior school campus to open in 2026
The British School of Bahrain (BSB) has announced the development of a purpose-built Senior School campus, set to open for the 2026/2027 academic year. Located just a short walk from the current site and adjacent to the Al Liwan Commercial Centre, the new campus represents a major step forward in BSB's commitment to future-focused education. The launch comes as the school celebrates 30 years of delivering premium British education in Bahrain. In collaboration with Global Education consultants and leading architectural firm MSCEB, the campus has been designed to educate students from Year 10 through to Year 13. This next-generation facility will feature thoughtfully designed classrooms to support a range of learning styles, purpose-built study areas for independent and collaborative learning, and cutting-edge technology including the integration of Inspired AI, Inspired Education's pioneering artificial intelligence platform to boost learning outcomes. Students will also benefit from exceptional extra-curricular and performance facilities, including a FIFA-standard football pitch, athletics track, multi-purpose sports hall, an 8-lane indoor swimming pool, and an acoustically engineered 800 sqm auditorium with seating for over 500 guests. Nadim M. Nsouli, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Inspired Education, commented: 'The new BSB campus aligns with Inspired's vision of providing its students with a premium education in state-of the-art-facilities demonstrating our commitment to excellence in academics, sports and the creative and performing arts.' 'This is more than a new building. It is a meaningful investment in the future of our students,' said Executive Headteacher Liz Stanley. 'As we celebrate three decades of shaping young minds, this next chapter enables us to reimagine what senior education can be. We are creating an environment that inspires ambition, encourages independence, and equips every student to thrive in an ever-changing world.' With the relocation of Years 10–13 to the new Senior School, the original campus will become a dedicated centre for students from Nursery through to Year 9. This transformation allows the school to reimagine their original campus into a vast, state-of-the-art learning environment tailored specifically for younger students, with age-appropriate innovation, care, and creativity at its heart. This will create one of the most advanced Junior and Middle School campuses in the country, a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Faces of beauty
GRAMMY-WINNING pop singer Miley Cyrus's ninth studio album Something Beautiful drops tomorrow. In its 13 tracks, the visual album – which will have an accompanying film releasing in theatres internationally on June 27 – tackles existential themes, centring on healing from trauma and finding beauty in the darkest moments of life. In an interview, Miley described the body of work as 'hypnotising and glamorous', and credited British rock band Pink Floyd's album and accompanying horror-surrealist film The Wall as inspiration. 'My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,' she said, adding that on the fashion side, the late designer Thierry Mugler's 1995 couture show shaped the record's mood board and aesthetic. She is seen wearing an archival 1997 piece by him on the album cover. The pop sensation also revealed that the film is her way of presenting something to the fans that is an alternative to embarking on a tour. She added that it is difficult to do as she suffers from Reinke's edema, a rare condition of swollen vocal cords which she underwent surgery for in 2019. She described the condition as a part of her unique anatomy, explaining that she would rather try preserving her singing voice – which is distinguishable for its deepness and raspy sound – than to risk waking up from undergoing another operation sounding different. 'The chance of waking up from a surgery and not sounding like myself is a probability,' Miley said. 'I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which is giving me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am, but it's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on,' she added. The 32-year-old superstar emerged as a teen idol by playing the lead role in the Disney Channel musical series Hannah Montana (2006 to 2011), which kick-started her singing career and paved the way for her to grow into a successful artist as an adult. She won her first two Grammy awards last year for the hit song Flowers in the Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance categories, and bagged her third earlier this year for her feature on the Beyoncé song II Most Wanted in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance segment.
